Chapter 263 Momoshiki Reappears
Boruto's gaze was sharp, his eyes fixed firmly on the shadowy side of Boruto who was undergoing strange changes ahead.
In this utterly silent space of consciousness, apart from the echoing roar of the waterfall from afar, there was no other sound.
Boruto stood quietly in place, his lips slightly parted, and slowly uttered a name in a low but clear tone.
"Otsutsuki... Momoshiki."
Boruto had long suspected and speculated that Momoshiki, hidden deep within his own consciousness, would reveal his true form through this unique space of consciousness created by the real waterfall.
However, even so, when he witnessed this scene unfold before his eyes, despite having prepared himself mentally beforehand, Boruto still couldn't completely calm his emotional turmoil.
At this moment, the dark side of Boruto was completely taken over by Momoshiki.
The dark aura emanating from its body also became increasingly intense.
Like ink dripping into clear water, it spread rapidly and eventually enveloped his entire body.
At that very moment, Momoshiki's body seemed to be placed in a giant steamer, with endless white smoke billowing up like surging waves.
Those originally gruesome wounds healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Muscle tissue, blood vessels, and skin regenerate and reconnect in the blink of an eye, as if time has been accelerated.
In just a short while, Momoshiki recovered completely, showing no signs of having been injured.
With a relaxed expression, Momo slowly stretched her arms to the sides, moved her legs and feet, and stretched her body to the fullest, leisurely enjoying this feeling that she had not had in a long time.
He then looked around with great interest, and after a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said softly in a slightly curious tone, "Is this the legendary waterfall of your ninja world? Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation. It's really quite interesting, haha..."
Momoshiki paused briefly before continuing, "I never expected to be able to reappear in the open. This place is truly a wondrous place."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a meaningful, faint smile.
"This feeling is so unfamiliar." Momo sighed softly and murmured to herself, "After all, so many years have passed since I met you, and I have always been suppressed by you, with few opportunities to act freely according to my own wishes."
As he said this, Momoshiki suddenly turned his head slightly. His seemingly casual gaze was fixed on Boruto not far away the whole time, never leaving him for a moment.
Boruto remained calm and composed, replying, "If you didn't harbor ambitions towards the ninja world and covet everything here, you wouldn't be in this suppressed situation now."
Momoshiki floated on the water, skimming lightly across the surface, and silently arrived beside Boruto.
After Momoshiki stopped, she murmured softly, "You should also know that the reason I stepped into this land was to search for Kaguya's whereabouts, but the result has greatly disappointed me."
"She actually betrayed our Otsutsuki clan. Kaguya came to this world with a special mission, but she changed the plan without authorization. This behavior is undoubtedly an unforgivable act of treason for our Otsutsuki clan."
Momoshiki then added, "So, I came to the ninja world simply to take over Kaguya Otsutsuki's unfinished mission—to recover the chakra scattered in various corners of the world."
In order to decipher the scroll left by Kaguya, Momoshiki had Kinshiki Otsutsuki use the Hollowfication power granted by his Byakugan to cut through the spatial barrier, allowing him to overcome numerous spatial obstacles.
Each leap involved traversing endless void. Finally, he entered the lava space and palace that Kaguya had once built and found the scroll she had left behind.
However, time is merciless, and the long passage of time, like an invisible carving knife, has quietly changed the appearance of the scroll.
The runes on the scroll had long since become blurred and indistinguishable. Those ancient characters that once carried Kaguya's secrets had been mercilessly washed away by the torrent of time and vanished with the wind. Not a single piece of information could be fully deciphered.
"As long as we join hands and swallow the fruit of the divine tree together, I believe we can restore the former glory of the Otsutsuki clan."
"This world contains immense energy and abundant genetic information, enough to help us break through our own limitations, continuously evolve and ascend, until one day we become incomparable 'gods'."
After a long period of time inside Boruto's body, these beings, whom he regarded as inferior creatures, gradually revealed potential that surprised even him through their cultivation of chakra.
Once the divine tree has fully absorbed all the "nutrients" from this world, which is like a cradle of life, the fruits it produces will surely be extraordinary.
The energy contained within it will be purer and more powerful than ever before.
Seeing that Boruto remained completely unresponsive, without even a ripple of emotion, Momoshiki played to his strengths and once again stirred things up, saying, "Even returning to your original world would be a piece of cake. Isn't that what you've always dreamed of?"
Upon hearing Momoshiki's words, Boruto frowned slightly, a somewhat helpless expression on his face: "I'm afraid that once I eat the chakra fruit from the God Tree, the threat facing the entire ninja world will increase exponentially. At that time, they might not be sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki, but me, the one who ate the chakra fruit."
Upon hearing Boruto's words, Momoshiki's lips curled into a disdainful smile, and his eyes gleamed with contempt.
Completely disregarding Kaguya Otsutsuki, whom Boruto mentioned, he coldly said, "Hmph, don't compare us to that guy who's considered a disgrace to our clan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Momoshiki slowly approached Boruto, stretched out his arm, and wrapped it around the back of Boruto's head, making their foreheads almost touch.
At that close distance, Momoshiki's face held a gaze as deep and unfathomable as a dark pool, filled with endless allure.
He whispered, "Besides, with me here, what are you afraid of? Just kill them all. In this vast and boundless world, who can stop our advance?"
The moment the words left his mouth, Momoshiki quickly took a step back. Almost at the same instant, a sharp sword shadow flashed, and Boruto found a sharp longsword in his hand.
Momoshiki still wore that playful smile, his fingers lightly tracing his chest, where Boruto's longsword had just pierced his clothes, leaving a shallow wound: "Oh dear, that was dangerous."
There was no real fear in his tone, after all, he was only able to appear here by using the dark side of Boruto's body.
Therefore, even if Boruto were to completely eliminate himself here, it wouldn't actually have a significant impact on the overall situation.
Boruto gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and said in a solemn voice, "Momoshiki, even if I have the ability to obtain the power of the God Tree's fruit, I will never sacrifice the entire ninja world as you expect to obtain this power."
Momoshiki threw his head back and laughed loudly, the laughter echoing in this space of consciousness: "Hahahaha... Boruto, you are too naive. In this vast universe, only absolute power can truly become the supreme ruler!"
"As long as we can successfully obtain the powerful force at the level of [God], creating as many tiny worlds as we want will be an easy task."
"Not only that, but even completely replicating these worlds would be a piece of cake!"
Upon hearing Momoshiki's arrogant words, Boruto coldly replied, "Then let me see just how much your so-called powerful strength really is, and whether it can truly convince me!"
As soon as Boruto finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right arm high, and the chakra within his body surged out.
The violent fluctuations generated by this vast and boundless chakra instantly stirred up thousands of waves on the calm, mirror-like surface of the water, and a surging wave rose up.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous dragon head burst forth from the water and hurtled straight toward Momoshiki's location, creating turbulent whirlpools wherever it went.
Faced with this fierce attack, Momoshiki swayed and flew upwards to avoid the impact.
At the same time, although Momoshiki was flying rapidly through the air, the lightning and water dragon summoned by Boruto was always following him closely, biting him tightly and refusing to let go. The dragon's body, which was made of lightning and water, emitted a deep roar.
As Momoshiki was relentlessly pursued by Raisinryu, a thoughtful expression flashed across his face, and he murmured to himself, "How long has it been since we faced each other again?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if lost in memories of the past. "Three years? Perhaps longer... or even five whole years? Back then, I was indeed thoroughly outmaneuvered by you, that nine-tailed fox, and that guy with the Rinnegan."
