Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Chapter 162: Lunar Confrontation



In the dark skies, above a vast expanse of shimmering stars, two silhouettes floated lightly. Momoshiki and Kinshiki Ôtsutsuki, clad in their imposing garments adorned with elegant patterns, observed the silent space around them. Their presence exuded an oppressive chakra, testifying to their power and divine nature.

Kinshiki, massive and imposing, crossed his arms. His gaze scanned the surroundings with visible suspicion, his hard features betraying a certain unease.

"Momoshiki," Kinshiki said in a grave voice, tinged with palpable concern, "we should inform the clan leader. A dimension like this, unstable and imbued with such unique chakra, must be taken seriously. It could harbor unforeseen dangers, even direct threats to our clan."

Momoshiki, floating slightly beside him with a disdainful air, raised a thin eyebrow and sniffed with ostentatious disdain. His long white hair floated gently around him, framing a face with sharp features and an arrogant and scornful expression. His nacreous eyes shimmered with a cold light.

"That's exactly why I'm here, Kinshiki. There's no need to repeat your fears to me." He let a heavy silence hang before continuing, his voice laden with venom: "That clan leader..." he spat with contempt, each syllable charged with his deep disgust. "Appearing out of nowhere, a newcomer, and claiming to be our matriarch. She's nothing but a half-breed, an inferior creature, a stain resulting from the impure mixing of our divine blood with that of these primitive and insignificant races."

He narrowed his eyes, his pupils reducing to two slits. A subtle aura of hostility emanated from him, palpable even to his companion. "But I do not deny her power. With six fragments of Shibai in her possession, obtained who knows how, she has become a true scourge, an aberration whose rise is as sudden as it is worrying. She has even taken on that odious arrogance that is rightfully ours and possesses the Senrigan, that divine eye that has not manifested its power within our clan for hundreds of thousands of years. If she obtains the seventh fragment, if this stain manages to appropriate ultimate power, she will surpass us all, even me. It is an affront that I cannot tolerate!"

Kinshiki averted his gaze, visibly uncomfortable with his master's hateful tirade. The idea that this woman, this "stain," could surpass Momoshiki, frightened him. Momoshiki continued with a smug smile, worthy of a predator sure of its victory: "How could a noble among nobles, a being of my stature, a direct descendant of the pure lineage, accept such a disgrace, such humiliation? It is inconceivable that this commoner should dominate us!" His contempt was such that it became almost palpable, a veil of scornful arrogance enveloping his silhouette.

Momoshiki turned around with supernatural grace and began to walk through the air, his steps resonating in an echo that should not exist.

"And she has returned to that Earth..." he muttered, his tone filled with amusement. "The last fragment is there, in the very place where that traitor Kaguya Ôtsutsuki is hiding."

He let out a dry chuckle.

"Ishiki was a fool. He should have eliminated her as soon as he had the chance. But no, he preferred to play his stupid games of domination between master and slave. And now he's been killed. I wonder who finally ate the chakra fruit, imbued with the essence of Shibai."

Kinshiki, ever attentive, suddenly felt a disturbance. He furrowed his brows and turned his head toward the source of this energy.

"Momoshiki," he said with urgency, "I sense a presence. This chakra... it is unusually powerful."

Momoshiki raised an eyebrow, a scornful smile on his face.

"A half-breed, no doubt," he said, shrugging. "Or perhaps an inferior creature. It's nothing exceptional. Who knows what that bitch has been up to since betraying that idiot."

Kinshiki, concerned, tried to insist.

"It's not an ordinary signature. You should exercise caution."

Momoshiki responded only with a mocking laugh, his nacreous eyes shining as veins appeared on his temples.

"Caution? I, Momoshiki Ôtsutsuki, lower my guard before vermin? Don't be ridiculous."

Before they could continue their discussion, a blinding light suddenly appeared a few meters away from them. An elegant silhouette burst from the sky like a meteor, leaving a crater in the air with its mere presence. The woman landed gracefully, one foot lightly placed on the void as if it were solid ground.

She slowly straightened up, her gaze fixed on the two Ôtsutsuki. Her long purple hair floated behind her.

Momoshiki narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the newcomer.

"Who are you? Byakugan?" he asked in a condescending tone.

The woman, Hinata Hyuga, the princess of the Moon, did not respond immediately. She took a step forward, her Byakugan already activated, the veins around her temples prominent.

"You don't need to know who I am," she replied coldly. "What you need to know is that I'm going to stop you here and now."

Momoshiki burst into laughter, but this laughter lacked sincerity.

"Stop me? You? An inferior creature? What arrogance."

Hinata wasted no time arguing. With a swift leap, she propelled herself towards him at a dizzying speed, her fist shining with intense light.

"Kinshiki, take care of this half-breed."
