371-375

Chapter 371: The Power of a God 

At that moment, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki's heart skipped a beat after seeing it. 

He quickly activated his Rinnegan with its six tomoe and looked up. Only then did he realize that the shadow in the sky wasn't a thundercloud at all, but a giant meteorite. This, naturally, shocked Momoshiki even more. Even he, Momoshiki, couldn't summon such an extraterrestrial meteorite as a means of attack. But now, Kazama had used this jutsu and unleashed it right over his head. This, of course, terrified Momoshiki. 

"You little brat! You're not even human, you're a monster!" Momoshiki yelled at Kazama, all while preparing to flee. Unfortunately, in the face of Kazama's current jutsu, no one could escape. 

"Divine Power: Meteorite Drop!" 

As soon as Kazama spoke, the descending meteorite struck Momoshiki in an instant. If it had hit an ordinary person, they would have been obliterated in a flash. But Momoshiki, at this moment, was a being of profound power. In an instant, he quickly used Yomotsu Hirasaka to transfer the falling meteorite to a different dimension. 

Upon seeing that he had perfectly dodged the falling meteorite, Momoshiki let out a long sigh of relief. Then, with a sneer, he spoke to Kazama again, "Well, you little brat, do you think a ninjutsu can be arrogant and overbearing just because it has a wide attack range and immense power? Let me tell you, your understanding is completely wrong! Any jutsu is trash in front of my Yomotsu Hirasaka, because I can endlessly transfer it to a different dimension!" 

"Oh, really? Then I'd really like to see how incredible and powerful you truly are!" Kazama coldly chuckled, then pointed to the top of Momoshiki's head again. This immediately filled Momoshiki with doubt. He still didn't know what Kazama was trying to do. So, he instinctively looked up and was instantly scared stiff. 

It turned out that an even larger meteorite than before had appeared in the sky! 

"What?! How is this possible?! You little brat, what kind of jutsu did you use?! Are you even human?!" Upon seeing that Kazama could summon meteorites one after another as a means of attack, even Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, from the Heavenly Clan, felt incredibly shocked. 

"Don't worry about whether I'm human or not. I just want to ask you, how are you going to stop this second meteorite?" 

"I'll stop your old hag!" Momoshiki, seeing that Kazama dared to repeatedly mess with him, even while insulting him, was naturally furious and enraged. In a flash, he immediately prepared to fly away and escape. 

But even though Momoshiki was incredibly fast, in front of Kazama's Divine Power: Meteorite Drop ninjutsu, no matter how fast Momoshiki ran, it was useless. Kazama's second meteorite had already completely struck Momoshiki, leaving him scarred and battered. 

Chapter 372: "That's Right, I Am God" 

So, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki quickly used Yomotsu Hirasaka again. Then, he tapped into the Ōtsutsuki clan's ridiculously powerful healing abilities. That's how he managed to avoid getting hurt by Kazama's second meteorite. 

At this point, Momoshiki actually thought about escaping. But then, it hit him: "This little brat Kazama's ninjutsu is seriously awesome, way beyond what I imagined. But no matter how strong it is, there's no way he can keep spamming this Devine Power: Meteorite Shower! From what I know, that jutsu consumes a ridiculous amount of chakra. If he tries to summon a third one, I bet he'll just run out of chakra and drop dead!" 

Just as Momoshiki was convinced Kazama couldn't summon a third meteorite to attack him, he suddenly realized his previous thought was complete garbage. Why? Because Kazama had effortlessly summoned a third meteorite. 

"Listen up, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki," Kazama declared, "I've got unlimited chakra now! So, don't just talk about three; I can summon three hundred, even three thousand, without breaking a sweat! If I wasn't worried about destroying Earth, I would've summoned countless meteorites to finish you off by now!" 

"What?! You're making me furious!" 

Momoshiki was fuming. He'd tried to act all high and mighty again and again, only to get smacked down by Kazama at light speed. How could he not be angry? 

Suddenly, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki had a flash of brilliance. "Since my Yomotsu Hirasaka can dodge attacks, why can't I use it to redirect this incoming meteorite right over that brat Kazama's head?" 

As soon as that thought crossed his mind, Momoshiki's heart swelled with joy. He immediately activated two Yomotsu Hirasaka at once: one to absorb the incoming meteorite and another to release it. Honestly, Kazama hadn't expected Momoshiki to be so desperate that he'd resort to such a desperate measure. 

When Kazama saw a massive meteorite appear right above his head, he just smirked. And at that moment, Momoshiki, seeing his plan succeed, pointed at Kazama and started yelling insults. 

"Heh, how about that, Kazama, you little punk? This move of mine is called 'using his own methods against him.' You've been hunting geese for years, and now you've gotten pecked by one!" 

"Heh, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, you're not even from Earth, but you sure know how to use our sayings!" 

"Cut the crap! I don't care about your sayings or anything else! All I care about is killing you right now!" 

Just as Momoshiki believed Kazama was a goner, he suddenly realized that he and Kazama had changed scenery again. This utterly shocked Momoshiki once more. Although he knew Kazama was using a ninjutsu, even a space-time ninjutsu shouldn't be able to instantly transport them to another world. Yet, Kazama had indeed pulled him into this different dimension in a single moment. Naturally, Momoshiki was incredibly astonished, as he had never seen such a peculiar space-time jutsu before. 

Chapter 373: Amenominaka 

Just as Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki was completely shocked and about to demand what ninjutsu Kazama had used, he suddenly noticed that Kazama's Rinnegan, which previously had six tomoe, had now transformed into a Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe. This immediately startled Momoshiki again, because he knew that even his own Ōtsutsuki clan couldn't possess a nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan. Only the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, someone who had absorbed the God Tree, could have such an eye. 

So, Momoshiki, filled with both rage and terror, instantly spoke to Kazama, "You little brat! Did you devour the God Tree?" 

"Heh, no, I didn't actually devour the God Tree, but I do possess its power!" 

"Don't give me that nonsense! I don't believe a mere human like you, a little brat, can withstand the power of the God Tree!" 

As soon as Momoshiki finished speaking, he immediately charged at Kazama again. But before he could even reach Kazama, he suddenly saw two or three types of exotic flames appear from within Kazama's body. In just a few moments, these exotic flames completely surrounded Momoshiki, burning his recently healed body until it was once again completely scorched. It was then that Momoshiki suddenly realized that the power of these twenty-three types of exotic flames far exceeded his imagination. Even his Ōtsutsuki clan's unique healing ability couldn't mend the damage. This immediately left Momoshiki utterly shocked. 

As Momoshiki felt this terror, Kazama coldly chuckled and approached him. "Let me tell you, if I wanted to eliminate you, I could do it in minutes. But because these twenty-three types of exotic flames are too powerful, I couldn't use them on you while we were on Earth. However, I've now activated Amenominaka. You're currently inside my dimension, so I can torment you anytime, anywhere!" 

"Don't give me that crap! What is this 'Amenominaka' or 'Daimyō no nakama'? I don't believe a little brat like you can do anything to me!" Momoshiki retorted, immediately activating his Yomotsu Hirasaka again. He knew that he was no match for Kazama now, no matter what, so he had to escape as far away as possible, right away. 

But what Momoshiki never expected was that his Yomotsu Hirasaka was completely useless within Kazama's Amenominaka. This left Momoshiki in disbelief, as his Yomotsu Hirasaka had never failed him before. Yet now, it was being suppressed by Kazama's Amenominaka. This showed that Kazama's Amenominaka far surpassed Yomotsu Hirasaka, which is why his jutsu failed. 

At this point, Kazama had made it clear he intended to toy with Momoshiki. So, in an instant, Kazama pulled Momoshiki into another dimension—the lava dimension. With a single hand, Kazama unleashed the lava's flames, scorching Momoshiki all over. Before Momoshiki could even react, Kazama then brought him to the ice dimension. At this moment, Momoshiki was truly experiencing what it felt like to be in both fire and ice. 

Chapter 374: "That's Just Too Insane!" 

Even though Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki was on his last legs, battered by Kazama's outrageous techniques, Kazama didn't stop there. He immediately unleashed Super Gravity Space, Desert Space, and a bunch of other dimensions. In just a few moments, Kazama had dragged Momoshiki through all five of Amenominaka's spaces, leaving him covered in wounds and utterly pale. 

Just as Kazama was about to use his Exotic Flame to burn Momoshiki into nothingness, he suddenly remembered that it wasn't just the Ōtsutsuki trio who had come to Earth. There was also Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who hadn't shown himself yet. 

"I still don't fully understand Isshiki's strength. So, instead of killing Momoshiki, it might be better to turn him into my own asset," Kazama thought. 

With that in mind, Kazama immediately cast the ultimate genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, on Momoshiki. But to his surprise, Kotoamatsukami couldn't control members of the Ōtsutsuki clan. Even though Momoshiki was practically at death's door from Kazama's assault, he was still conscious. He knew what Kazama was trying to do, so when he saw Kazama's attempt to control him with Kotoamatsukami fail, Momoshiki immediately started mocking Kazama. 

"You little runt! We Ōtsutsuki are a celestial clan! Trying to control a majestic Ōtsutsuki with your Earth-bound ninjutsu is just delusional! No one can control me, especially not a trashy mongrel like you!" 

But as Momoshiki kept taunting Kazama, he suddenly saw Kazama give him a cold smile. Then, Kazama extended one hand, and a mesmerizing white Exotic Flame appeared from within his body. This very flame was the Purification Lotus Demonic Flame, capable of turning enemies into fire slaves to be commanded. Before Momoshiki could even react, Kazama, with incredible speed, instantly infused the Purification Lotus Demonic Flame into Momoshiki's body. 

Immediately, Momoshiki was transformed by Kazama into a fire slave. His previously pale body became a form enveloped in flames. While Momoshiki's appearance had changed, his abilities remained at their super high level from before. And now, Momoshiki had completely submitted to Kazama. 

Momoshiki then dropped to his knees, repeatedly bowing his head to Kazama. Since Momoshiki's consciousness was now entirely under Kazama's control, he would naturally do whatever Kazama commanded. Seeing even the incredibly powerful Momoshiki submit, Kazama's heart swelled with joy. 

Kazama immediately brought the transformed fire slave, Momoshiki, back to Earth's dimension. Meanwhile, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others had been incredibly worried about Kazama's whereabouts after he used Amenominaka and vanished without a trace. They had been eagerly awaiting his return. 

When they suddenly saw Kazama reappear with this fire-slave-transformed Momoshiki, Naruto and Sasuke finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since Momoshiki's appearance had changed, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others didn't recognize him. They immediately asked Kazama: 

"Hey, Kazama-nii-san, who's that person with you?" 

"Yeah, how come we've never seen him before? And where did that powerful Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki go?" 

Chapter 375: Scientific Ninja Tools 

"Heh heh, well, about that..." 

Hearing Sasuke and the others' eager questions, Kazama simply smiled and nodded at them. "It's simple. That person is Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki!" 

"What?! How can that be?!" 

As soon as they heard Kazama, Naruto and Sasuke were instantly shocked. After all, they had encountered Momoshiki before. And they knew that Momoshiki's appearance was completely different from this "fire slave" they were seeing now. Plus, they remembered Momoshiki being incredibly arrogant and stubborn, so how could he possibly submit to Kazama? 

Kazama understood their shock and quickly explained what had happened. When Naruto, Sasuke, and the others heard that the powerful Momoshiki had actually been transformed into a fire slave by Kazama, it naturally increased their admiration for him and left them truly astonished. Naruto and Sasuke bowed respectfully to Kazama repeatedly. After all, Kazama's current power was incredibly impressive and formidable. 

Meanwhile, the Four Kage at his side, seeing that Kazama's strength hadn't diminished at all—in fact, it was even more formidable than before—were naturally even more shocked. They all began to praise Kazama. 

Kazama, upon hearing everyone's compliments, naturally felt quite pleased. While he wasn't someone who sought glory, anyone enjoyed hearing praise from others. 

At this point, because Kazama had dealt with the Ōtsutsuki trio—one escaped, one died, and the other submitted to Kazama—the Chūnin Exams organized by the Five Great Nations naturally resumed. As the Chūnin Exams continued, everyone's attention shifted from the participating genin to Kazama, who had just saved their exam venue. After all, they had all witnessed the incredible power of the Ōtsutsuki trio. They figured that without Kazama, they might have all perished. Thus, everyone was now showering Kazama with compliments. 

However, the head of the Leaf Village's Scientific Ninja Tools Research Team had a huge problem with Kazama. He had originally planned to use these Chūnin Exams to showcase his Scientific Ninja Tools. But now, seeing this newcomer, Kazama, steal his thunder, he was immediately enraged. Although the head of the Scientific Ninja Tools team had heard about Kazama's past exploits, his extreme arrogance meant he didn't pay Kazama any mind. He believed that the Scientific Ninja Tools he had created were incredibly powerful and amazing. They could absorb anyone's ninjutsu and utilize it without draining the ninja's own chakra. 

Therefore, the head of the Scientific Ninja Tools team thought that with Kazama's current momentum, if he could defeat Kazama using his Scientific Ninja Tools, his own name would become famous throughout the entire shinobi world. 

"By then, my Scientific Ninja Tools will be selling out, and won't I become a billionaire?!" 

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the head of the Scientific Ninja Tools team immediately flew up to Kazama. Then, in front of everyone, he declared that he wanted to challenge Kazama to a one-on-one fight. Upon hearing the Scientific Ninja Tools team leader's words, everyone burst into laughter.
