Chapter 188

After a short fight, three members of the Ōtsutsuki clan were quickly defeated with no effort at all. Most of the Hokage didn't even have time to make a move before the battle was completely over. Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki were easily beaten by Ryan, Hashirama, and Madara, which was not surprising given their significant power enhancements.

Ryan, Hashirama, and Madara possessed a multitude of different abilities. While Momoshiki could absorb chakra and ninjutsu, he was completely overwhelmed by the powers of the Devil Fruit and Zanpakutō, rendering him helpless. Similarly, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's Yomotsu Hirasaka was effortlessly countered by Ryan, who also had this space-related ability. Even the formidable Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion posed no challenge.

Hashirama transformed into a giant Buddha with the help of his devil fruit, utilizing Taijutsu rather than his usual Wood Release. Madara, clad in his formidable Susano while using Ryujin Jakka, stood by his side. The abilities of the two Ōtsutsuki members, including Urashiki's fishing rod and Kinshiki's Chakra weapon creation, seemed impressive but were easily dismissed by the more talented Hokage.

Hashirama and Madara quickly overpowered them. Hashirama's immense strength and martial prowess restrained Urashiki's movements, while Madara's Susano and Ryujin Jakka shattered Kinshiki's weapons with ease. In front of these legendary shinobi who have already conquered the entire elemental nation, the Ōtsutsuki abilities appeared almost laughable.

After easily defeating the Ōtsutsuki clan members, everyone from Naruto's world was in utter shock.

"So, all older Hokages were this powerful?" Boruto and the new generation exclaimed in disbelief.

The strength displayed by Ryan, Hashirama, and Madara was utterly overwhelming—a completely crushing level of power that left everyone in awe. It was so exaggerated that Boruto could handle it. These legendary figures, whose heroic deeds and sculptures were only known from textbooks and Hokage Rock, suddenly came to life before their eyes. Witnessing their immense power in real life was a deep shock. In comparison, Naruto, who was once considered incredibly powerful by them, didn't seem as formidable anymore.

Other Shinobi and civilians present in Konoha Village began to talk. After dealing with these foes, the Hokages gathered to discuss.

"What is this? They don't look human," Tobirama remarked curiously as he examined their appearance. Their skin was extremely pale and unhealthy-looking. They had two sets of eyebrows and horns on their heads. The common characteristic of these three was their eyes, which were Byakugan. The power of their eyes was very strong. Stronger than Hyuga that he knew, which piqued Tobirama's interest even more.

The other Hokages were also puzzled. They all looked at Naruto curiously.

"Naruto, where did you provoke such opponents? I don't think I have met anyone like this in my entire life," Minato asked, equally curious.

Naruto responded with a wry smile, "I have no idea where they came from. A few of them suddenly appeared today, looking for trouble. During the last Ninja World War, I saw someone similar—the legendary progenitor of Shinobi, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!"

"She seems to be of the same kind as these three, but it sounds like these three are the higher level members of the Otsutsuki clan than her," Naruto remarked, looking distressed. He hadn't encountered only one Ōtsutsuki like this before, and his information was mostly guesswork.

At that moment, Ryan spoke up. "Guys, do you remember the threat I mentioned earlier? The so-called enemies living on the moon?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"So these are the people living on the moon!" Kakshi exclaimed. "If they're this powerful, I understand why we need to be cautious. They're not weak!"

The Hokages continued to chat, understanding that these individuals would likely be formidable future opponents. The sixth Hokage, Kakashi, also reacted immediately.

"Exactly! The meteorite crisis my world faced last time must be related to the Otsutsuki clan. I remember encountering someone on the moon before who seemed very similar to these guys!" Kakashi's reminder sparked realization among the Hokages.

"I see... It looks like we have to be careful when we return!" Tsunade and everyone agreed.

"That's right! But don't slack off; the danger is right in front of us," everyone echoed, especially Uchiha Madara and the others who had become a bit complacent since the unification of the entire ninja world.

In their eyes, everything else seemed trivial. Their world should be entering a state of peace. After Naruto's call for help, they understood that they must be more careful.

Ryan continued to remind everyone, "In short, their strength should not be underestimated. Each Otsutsuki can handle at least three Kage-level Shinobi, plus most Chakra-based attacks don't affect them. If you encounter them, you must be cautious. If you can't handle it yourself, don't push too hard. Ask for help immediately!"

Ryan's words made everyone nod in agreement. This encounter with Naruto reminded them that these opponents were quite powerful. Although facing twelve Hokages at once made them seem less daunting, taking them on alone would be life-threatening for many.

Considering Naruto's current strength as the Seventh Hokage, who is at least stronger than Sasuke and Sixth Hokage Kakashi, and probably even greater than Tsunade's, it was clear that they needed to be cautious if their world ever faced such enemies.

After finishing their discussion, everyone looked around curiously at the surroundings.

"Is this the Konoha Village in the future? It's advanced!" Hashirama and the others remarked happily, taking in the changes with interest.

Even after a big fight, the village still seemed to be thriving, presenting a very nice look. This made the Hokages quite gratified, especially those from the periods of the First and Second Generations. To them, the Konoha of the Seventh Hokage had been developing for a long time.

After such prolonged development, it was clear that the lives of the ninjas were getting better and better, fulfilling the original intention behind establishing the village. Tobirama, in particular, was very interested in technological advancements, such as the scientific ninja tools that Boruto used, which gave him a lot of inspiration.

Minato was the happiest of all, as he had the chance to see his grandson, Boruto. Then Naruto took the Hokages to his home, where they met his daughter. This sight made the Hokages even more relieved, knowing their descendants were living happily. Seeing this firsthand was incredibly comforting.

After the visit, their mission was complete. A Rainbow space gate appeared, and the Hokages returned to their worlds.
