Hey look at author thoughts
Otsutsuki Isshiki looked down condescendingly at the struggling boy beneath his feet. His cold voice was devoid of any emotion, carrying only the indifference one might feel toward experimental Materials or trash about to be disposed of.
"This boy is the one chosen by that fool, Momoshiki..."
There was undisguised contempt in Isshiki’s eyes when he thought of Momoshiki.
However, that was precisely the point.
Boruto, who was inhabited by Momoshiki’s ’Karma’ and possessed a hybrid Bloodline of Otsutsuki and Ninja, was the best nourishment for the Divine Tree right now.
There shouldn’t be any other Otsutsuki on this planet. In order to survive, he had no choice but to sacrifice Momoshiki.
"Then I won’t have to waste my breath."
Isshiki seemed to have lost his last bit of interest in "explaining." He applied a little force with his foot, grinding into Boruto’s spine, causing Boruto to let out a muffled groan.
"Since it has come to this, before I send you on your way, I will let you die with clarity."
Isshiki stared at Boruto with his cold eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through everything, and said:
"You will be eaten by the Ten-Tails."
Boruto, lying on the ground, felt his pupils suddenly contract. His body trembled slightly from extreme fear and rage.
Although he was young, he had heard of what the Ten-Tails was.
Especially after returning from that time period where he had followed his Master to see his father in another world when he was still young, Boruto had asked Sasuke many questions about his father’s past.
This included the Fourth Great Ninja War.
However, Boruto did not know...
That the infant Ten-Tails was the seed of the Divine Tree.
And this seed could only sprout and truly grow into a Divine Tree capable of absorbing a planet’s energy by eating an Otsutsuki and absorbing all of their life essence and Chakra Origin.
This was also why, when Otsutsuki descended upon various planets to carry out ’planting’ missions, they generally operated in pairs. One was responsible for leading and guarding, while the other... served as the necessary’sacrifice’ and ’nourishment.’
Kinshiki, Urashiki, and even Kaguya were originally destined for such an end.
However, Urashiki’s Master, Otohime, had disappeared somewhere, while Kaguya had ambushed Isshiki, causing Isshiki to have most of his body eaten by the Divine Tree, eventually forcing him to use Karma to control a passing monk to survive.
Come to think of it, Urashiki was only made into a so-called noble member of the Otsutsuki because Otohime had snatched a Chakra fruit that should have belonged to Isshiki and casually fed it to a small fisherman named Pudao.
After Urashiki became an Otsutsuki, Otohime basically never paid him any mind; even the Ninjutsu of Karma was something Urashiki learned in Takamagahara, the dwelling place of the Otsutsuki, after Otohime went missing.
Isshiki really wanted to throw Urashiki, Otohime, or Kaguya to the little Ten-Tails, but he couldn’t find any of those three, and every time he thought of them, Isshiki gritted his teeth in hatred.
If Otohime hadn’t snatched Isshiki’s Chakra fruit, Isshiki wouldn’t have come to this planet to replant a Divine Tree, and in that case, he wouldn’t have been ambushed by Kaguya and ended up in his current state.
Kaguya, including Isshiki’s previous subordinate, had been intentionally kept in the dark by Isshiki regarding the existence of Karma.
They were different from Urashiki; Urashiki knew because someone had told him, while Kaguya and the others didn’t even know it existed.
In Isshiki’s eyes, anyone who had not eaten a Chakra fruit did not belong to the Otsutsuki; they were merely ants with Otsutsuki Bloodline flowing in them.
Just as Isshiki was preparing to take further action.
A sudden change occurred!
Above this different dimension, a massive space-time rift tore open without warning. Its edges shimmered with unstable dark blue and silver-white light, and the scene inside was bizarre and grotesque, as if it were connected to endless chaos.
"Hmm?"
Isshiki suddenly looked up, his cold face revealing clear shock and vigilance for the first time.
Before he could figure it out, a person and a Dragon had already fallen from above.
Immediately after, under the astonished gazes of Isshiki, Boruto, and Sasuke.
A silver-white, slightly dim Dragon-shaped figure, and a blond-haired boy wrapped in a golden Chakra cloak, clutching the Dragon’s horns tightly, were blasted out as if from a cannon, crashing heavily toward the hard ground below in an extremely disheveled manner.
Dust and smoke filled the air.
The Silver Dragon barely managed to adjust its posture the moment it landed, using Chakra to stir up the surrounding wind for cushioning, but it still plowed a deep trench into the ground.
Its Dragon scales were shattered, and its Aura was weak. After landing, a flash of light transformed it back into the form of a human girl. She slumped to the ground, clutching her chest, her face deathly pale, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. She was clearly severely injured, and her Chakra was nearly exhausted.
As for Naruto, after Otohime transformed back into human form, he barely managed to adjust his posture before landing, using a roll to dissipate most of the impact. After sliding for a distance, he just barely managed to steady himself.
The golden Chakra cloak on his body flickered, and his breathing was somewhat rapid, but his eyes remained sharp as blades. He immediately scanned his surroundings with vigilance, taking in the completely unfamiliar environment and the white-clothed man standing not far away, exuding a terrifying Aura with massive horns on his forehead.
Otsutsuki Isshiki!
Naruto’s pupils constricted slightly, and alarm bells instantly rang in his heart.
"Where did this bring me? Is this still the country?"
Otohime’s body had shrunk quite a bit; to be precise, she looked much younger, appearing to be only about ten years old.
"Damn it, did I turn into a child because of excessive Chakra consumption?"
Otohime looked at her shrunken hands and frowned slightly.
As for Isshiki, after seeing the two people who had fallen out of the space-time rift, the shock on his face quickly transformed into an extremely complex expression.
First, it was incredulous astonishment, followed by cold murderous intent upon seeing "old acquaintances." Finally, when his gaze landed on the person who, although young, had an unusually familiar Aura.
The person’s appearance was also very similar to the Uzumaki Boruto beneath his feet.
"Otohime... and..."
Isshiki stared fixedly at Naruto, his voice sounding as if it came from the freezing depths of the underworld:
"Uzumaki Naruto?"
Sasuke and Boruto also hadn’t expected a young Naruto to arrive here, and the person’s appearance was clearly that of the young Sixth Hokage they had encountered after the accident when using Karasuki previously.
Boruto was also extremely astonished.
"Is it Dad from another space-time?"
In the Great Box, when sensing the Aura of another Nine-Tailed, Kurama, who had originally prepared himself to tell Naruto about the existence of Baryon Mode, suddenly paused.
"What is it, Kurama?"
The Seventh Hokage asked Kurama in confusion; he rarely saw his companion display such a strange expression.
"I sensed another me, and another Chakra of yours."
"Another me?"
The Seventh Hokage blinked, and then he also felt the familiar Chakra.
"What is going on?"
Hearing Isshiki’s murderous voice and Boruto’s exclamation, Otohime’s petite body trembled visibly.
She scurried behind the young Naruto and cautiously poked out half her head, looking in the direction the voice came from, where Isshiki stood, exuding a terrifying Aura.
When she confirmed that his cold gaze was landing on her, Otohime was so scared that she shrank back again, her whole body almost pressed against Naruto’s back.
She used a childish voice, feigning composure, and said urgently to Naruto:
"Ho... Hokage! Save me!"
With outsiders present, she subconsciously reverted to that ancient and arrogant self-reference "I," but the trembling and fear in her voice betrayed her true emotions.
"I have a long-standing feud with Isshiki."
She spoke extremely fast.
"Now that my Chakra is exhausted and my form has regressed, my state is extremely poor. He will certainly not let this opportunity pass and will definitely use me as a sacrifice to feed his Ten-Tails to catalyze the Divine Tree. Hokage, protect me! I know the coordinates to go back; they will be useful to you!"
The young Naruto could clearly perceive the trembling coming from the girl’s body behind him.
It was hard to tell if her words were true or false, but judging by Isshiki’s reaction, it was highly probable that she had a feud with Isshiki and that Isshiki likely wanted to use her to feed the Ten-Tails.
Naruto did not turn around, nor did he immediately respond to Otohime.
All his attention was focused on the Otsutsuki Isshiki before him, who was exuding a monstrous Aura, as well as the Adult Sasuke, who was pinned to the ground by black rods and unable to move not far away, and Boruto, who was scarred and battered under Isshiki’s foot.
