Chapter 240 : Kara!

No one believes that the peculiar abilities displayed by Momoshiki in life and death are mere nonsensical chatter!

Such a curse-like statement surely holds profound significance!

And most importantly, if Momoshiki isn't foolish, Naruto and Sasuke won't be afforded any opportunities in the future, not even the chance to grow.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's thoughts converged on one individual.

Someone who was once greatly feared and whose demise was fervently wished for by others.

Uchiha Madara!

He might be the sole savior of the ninja world.

Naruto is still young, and even with the likes of Jiraiya, Minato, and Itachi, there exists a clear disparity, despite their recent rewards.

Moreover, it's far from over.

For this time, the title of the video is the death of the Nine Tails!

And there are formidable enemies lurking in the shadows of the future!

[As the demise of Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki fades from the screen, it doesn't proceed further but rather leaps backward, transporting us in the blink of an eye to ancient times!]

[On the blue planet, a figure cloaked in white descends!]

[It's Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!]

All viewers grasp that this must be the moment when Kaguya first set foot in the ninja world, intending to sow the seeds of a God tree to absorb the planet's entire vitality (natural energy).

It's no secret; Kaguya herself disclosed it.

Yet, the following moment leaves everyone gaping in astonishment!

[A white meteor streaks by, followed by another figure garbed in identical attire landing alongside Kaguya!]

[This man possesses aloof eyes, pallid complexion, and gray locks.

[A "long horn" protrudes from his forehead to the nape of his neck, resembling a crown!]

[What's most peculiar is his right eye, utterly distinct from the Byakugan of other Ōtsutsuki, adorned with a black wheel-shaped pattern within and eight golden spokes at its center.

[It exudes an aura of profound depth.]

[Simultaneously, the name of the other party is revealed: Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.]

By the fireside, Jiraiya turns pale:

"Kaguya deceived us; another Ōtsutsuki has arrived!"

Minato, too, unknowingly clenches his fists; the man's presence sends shivers down his spine:

"Not only that, but you noticed, Kaguya's demeanor significantly shifted; she bowed her head upon the man's arrival.

"And the scene feels strangely familiar, almost like...

Itachi spoke directly: "It's like the relationship between Kinshiki and Momoshiki!"

With those words, everyone immediately grasped that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya must be this person's subordinate!

Kaguya alone was fearsome, let alone her superior!

After so many years, where had the other party disappeared to?

But the next moment's revelation stunned everyone!

[Kaguya actually launched a sneak attack on Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, leaving only half of his body in a pool of blood!!]

This astonishing turn of events shocked countless individuals.

Unexpectedly, Kaguya, who appeared foolish and gentle, was so merciless!

Yet, those in the Hokage world breathed a sigh of relief!

Finally, they need not fret over this Ōtsutsuki Isshiki any longer.

However, this sense of relief lasted for less than three seconds, as hope in everyone's heart dwindled once more!

[ Ōtsutsuki Isshiki didn't perish at all; he instead escaped into the body of a monk named Jigen, who coincidentally passed by as they teetered on the brink of death from severe injuries!

[Kaguya remained oblivious to Isshiki's survival, having consumed the Chakra fruit of the God Tree and became the master of the planet!"

[The subsequent events mirrored those prior, with her eventual sealing by her two sons, scattering Chakra throughout the world. "

[Meanwhile, Isshiki was covertly advancing. "

[He too possessed a God tree, or Ten Tails, ensconced in a separate realm to harness power!)

[However, the monk's body, Jigen, was too fragile to endure Ōtsutsuki's might and couldn't be resurrected with a Karma!

Simultaneously, on-screen narration elucidated that the so-called "Karma" functioned akin to Ōtsutsuki's backup data, slated for unsealing over time, ultimately facilitating the revival of Ōtsutsuki! 

[And this ability was exclusive to higher-ranking Ōtsutsuki!)

Upon seeing this explanation, many suddenly awakened!

Before Momoshiki's impending demise, he likely inscribed his "Karma" into Boruto's body, awaiting his resurrection.

In this manner, the other party's final utterance could be comprehensively understood.

"What a dreadful race, inherently aggressive!"

In the underground base, Orochimaru was equally astounded by the "Karma," which surpassed by leaps and bounds the curse mark he had been studying!

Uchiha Madara's expression darkened, silently chastising Kaguya as a disappointment.

Even a Genin could discern whether a body was truly deceased. She truly deserved being sealed away by her own sons.

It seemed unlikely that Isshiki anticipated Kaguya, not known for her intellect, making such a grave error, but it turned out to be in his favor.

[The screen flickers, returning to the future after the tragic demise of Momoshiki.

[Isshiki, who had been parasitizing within Jigen's body, finally initiated his own scheme at this juncture.

[Kara (a mysterious organization controlled by Isshiki) began to maneuver within the ninja world, its objective being to locate a vessel capable of containing Isshiki's power!]

[However, Kara members were divided into two groups! ]

[Outers and Inners!]

[And among Inners were two traitors, Amado and Kashin Koji.]

[The former, a prodigious scientist who had devised an array of cutting-edge weaponry and created Shinobi-ware ! ]

(The latter, clad in a mask with white hair, proficient in employing the Oil Release, Hair Needles, and Fire Style ninjutsu.)

Off-screen, when Kashin Koji made his entrance, all eyes turned to Jiraiya.

Though half-masked, his aura and ninjutsu were uncannily reminiscent of Jiraiya.

Needless to say, almost everyone suspected the possibility of the other party being the resurrected Jiraiya.

[The scene persists, the one-off's scheme nears fruition!)

[Kara has successfully nurtured a vessel called Kawaki, capable of fully containing the power of Isshiki. "

[However, at this juncture, Amado and Kashin Koji's leads serendipitously Kawaki to Konoha Village. "

[Naruto felt a deep empathy for Kawaki, whose life had been filled with tragedy. Meanwhile, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki loomed as a formidable enemy, seeking to harvest the natural energy of the ninja world. Determined to prevent Kawaki from falling into the enemy's clutches, Naruto made a solemn vow to take Kawaki under his wing as his disciple.]

[Members of Kara known as Delta relentlessly pursued Naruto, engaging him in intense combat.]

[Following a battle dubbed "Naruto's Nine-Tails Square Dance," Naruto found himself in a vulnerable state, reminiscent of the iconic scene where Rinnegan Sasuke embraced and wrestled him.]

[Despite Delta's self-sacrifice, Kawaki bravely interposed himself, sustaining grave injuries as his entire right arm was engulfed in flames.]

"But this is merely a prelude!"

[Before long, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki decided to confront Naruto personally.]

[This time, he would personally eliminate Naruto and obliterate any obstacles in his path!]
