Chapter 196. The Moon Falls!

Boom!

Otsutsuki Toneri's figure suddenly stopped!

Standing with his feet in the sky as if he was standing on the ground. The violent shock caused the air to erupt with a violent roar.

And the vibrations of this recoil were transmitted directly to the giant beast beneath him.

In an instant, the entire body of the beast shuddered. Then the head and tail of the beast jolted with tremendous force and violently slammed onto the ground again.

Otsutsuki Toneri settled midair and slowly lifted his head to look at Otsutsuki Urashiki, who was looking at him with a smirk in the distance.

"It's you?"

Otsutsuki Toneri's eyes fiercely glared. The chakra that boiled all over his body, as if it was burning, instantly trembled. Then, the several blue Truthseeker Orb in front of him began to distort and extend.

In a short period of time, it formed a blue-colored longsword and slashed at Otsutsuki Urashiki from afar.

Om~

The eerie humming that came from the sword in his hand caused Otsutsuki Toneri to freeze. He looked to the tip of the sword, and his expression changed.

At this moment, the sword was simply held in Otsutsuki Urashiki's hand. Rather, Otsutsuki Urashiki's middle finger and index finger were holding the sword securely.

The tip of the sword was in his opponent's hand, and the sword was still eerily buzzing.

"This ..."

Otsutsuki Toneri's eyes narrowed. At this moment, he finally really knew that the gap between them was too wide.

Otsutsuki Toneri tried to pull back the sword in his hand, only to find that he couldn't pull it back at all.

"You really are too weak."

Otsutsuki Urashiki had a mocking smile on his face. Even his voice had taken on a peculiar tone.

"Haha."

Looking at Otsutsuki Toneri's expression changing several times in succession, Otsutsuki Urashiki's fingers slowly turned. Suddenly, the sword began to stretch.

Otsutsuki Toneri also felt a growing force coming from his hand.

Knowing that at some point...

Boom!

The sword broke!

The entire sword shattered and erupted out in all directions. Then it rapidly flew back and made its way to Otsutsuki Toneri.

"Is this how you use your ability?"

Otsutsuki Urashiki curiously looked at the several Truthseeker Orb that resumed their flight around Otsutsuki Toneri and grimaced in disgust.

"Such crude means."

Swish!

With that, Otsutsuki Urashiki's eyes suddenly glowed with an eerie light, and an invisible force instantly pulled toward the whirling Moon above, with him as the source.

Boom!

Pulled by Otsutsuki Urashiki's power, the speed of the Moon's descent instantly soared, causing even more damage to the Moon's surface.

...

On the Moon.

The strong wind whistled around him as Uzumaki Nagato struggled to protect Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata behind him.

With the current strength of the wind, without him, Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata would have been torn apart by the terrifying wind in no time.

He just knew that, even for him, this kind of intense chakra consumption couldn't be sustained for too long.

"Where are Grandpa Toad and Grandma Toad?"

Hiding behind Uzumaki Nagato, Uzumaki Naruto looked around curiously, but he couldn't see anything.

Except for the sand all over the sky, there was a loud rumbling noise. Uzumaki Naruto couldn't find the three toads.

Just as Uzumaki Nagato struggled to maintain this fragile balance, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the trio.

"It's you!"

Uzumaki Nagato's face twitched when he saw the visitor, and his eyes narrowed.

"Ah? Nagato Aniki, do you know this person?"

Curiously looking at the person who suddenly appeared in front of them, Uzumaki Naruto was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Nagato Aniki to meet someone he knew on the Moon.

Moreover, judging from the way the other party just suddenly appeared, Uzumaki Naruto was sure that the other party should be powerful.

"If I save you, you have to promise me one thing."

Ryuji directly ignored Uzumaki Nagato, who was looking at him with tension and turned his gaze to Uzumaki Naruto.

"No, Naruto!"

Before Uzumaki Naruto spoke, Uzumaki Nagato directly rejected Ryuji's proposal.

Because of various changes in the shinobi world, Konan didn't have time to tell Uzumaki Nagato about Ryuji, so Uzumaki Nagato didn't know the 'details' about Ryuji.

He still had a bit of an impression on this subordinate from Amegakure. However, at this moment, meeting a Genin of Amegakure on the Moon was unbelievably weird to him.

Moreover, when the other party appeared, he looked at Naruto with a clear purpose. Without even having to think twice, Nagato knew what the other party was going to do.

Looking warily at Ryuji, Uzumaki Nagato gestured with his eyes for Naruto to hold on tight to the World Ark hovering in front of him.

Naruto reacted and was about to make his move, but Ryuji moved much faster than him.

Swish!

Holding the World Ark in his hand, Ryuji suddenly threw the ark toward the surface of the Moon in front of them.

Boom!

With a loud sound, the World Ark, which had grown countless times larger, appeared in front of the three.

"Wow!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto's exaggerated voice sounded, and beside him, Hyuga Hinata's pair of white eyes were also wide open, gawking at the sudden change in front of them.

'That little boat, that little boat that Naruto was holding in his arms, could become this big!'

"If you don't want to die, just come up."

Ryuji didn't bother looking at the three people who were dumbstruck. Originally, he didn't have access to the World Ark, but after he threatened the system with his own death, the system finally gave him the method of controlling the World Ark.

In other words, now he and Uzumaki Naruto both have the ability to control the World Ark. However, because of the other party's existence, whether Uzumaki Naruto or Ryuji, they needed the consent of the other person to use the World Ark.

"Come on, let's go in!"

Looking at Ryuji, whose figure flickered and who had already appeared on the World Ark in the next moment, Uzumaki Nagato gritted his teeth and followed him.

He didn't know why the other party was here and how he could operate the World Ark, but so far, the other party showed no malice.

And most importantly, if they didn't get on board, even if they weren't torn apart by the increasingly strong winds of the Moon, they would have been smashed to death by the powerful force of the Moon when it collided with the shinobi world.

Because the World Ark blocked the raging winds in front of the three, they easily got on board the ark.

Naruto's thoughts moved. The three figures flickered, and in the next moment, the three had appeared on the World Ark.

"Wow!!"

"It's so big!"

"Amazing!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at the massive object in front of him in shock. His whole body froze for a moment. It was especially true for Hyuga Hinata, who was beside him. At this moment, her delicate face was full of shock, and her mouth was wide open.

"Space-Time Ninjutsu!"

Uzumaki Nagato was stunned when he saw the mountains and rivers in the distance!

He finally understood why this ship was called the World Ark!

'It's literal!'

'It's really true!'

'This ship is really a world!'

'A complete world with a complete ecosystem, even with mountains and rivers!'

'There's oxygen and light here!'

'Even birds and animals!'

In the distance, Uzumaki Nagato surprisingly spotted a small beast chasing a flying butterfly!

'The vastness couldn't be completely seen at a glance. It even has a sky!'

'This!'

'This!'

Uzumaki Nagato didn't know what to say anymore. Even though he was a great leader in the shinobi world, even though he had seen a lot of things, at this moment, he was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

Swish!

Suddenly, the scene in front of the three changed, and in the next moment, they appeared in a broad hall.

In front of the hall, there was a bright screen. On the screen, there was the image of the Moon falling at a terrifying pace as seen from outer space.

"This is ... this is a live broadcast!"

Uzumaki Nagato looked at the 'screen' in front of him with horror. He never dreamed that there was such a magical live broadcast in the shinobi world.

"Nagato Aniki, this is the control room."

Naruto also looked around in awe. It was such a magical scene, but when he saw some things, information on how to use them unconsciously appeared in his mind. It was all magical.

With that, Uzumaki Naruto's hand moved. Then, a magical thing happened.

On the pure white ground, three metal circles suddenly appeared, followed by three metal chairs that automatically moved towards Naruto and the others.

What made the three feel that it was even more magical was that the surface of the chairs could be adjusted according to the shape of each of their bodies, automatically adjusting to the most comfortable shape for each of them.

"Uzumaki Naruto! Come here."

Ryuji glanced at the amusing trio behind him and directly controlled the chair under Uzumaki Naruto to pull Uzumaki Naruto to his side. He pointed to the console, where all kinds of buttons and palm scanners were set.

"You should know what to do."

Saying that he went to look at the other console beside them.

Uzumaki Naruto's eyes flashed with recollections, and he instantly understood what the buttons were for.

'It's where the Captain initiates launch procedures.'

'So...'

Uzumaki Naruto happily looked at Ryuji in front of him. He understood; this man was the vice-captain given to him by the exam space!

With them working together, it wouldn't require a large amount of chakra to activate the World Ark briefly.

Of course, if they used the World Ark for a long time or even crossed worlds, they would still need a lot of chakra to support it.

"Haha! Let's go!"

Uzumaki Naruto let out a loud laugh and slapped his palm on the operating console.

With the confirmation from Uzumaki Naruto, colorful lights flashed in the bridge of the World Ark, followed by the colorful lights on the whole World Ark.

Just as the lights and the flashing World Ark gradually began to synchronize, the World Ark suddenly burst into a dazzling brilliant glow. In the next moment, it directly disappeared from the surface of the Moon.

When they reappeared, they were already in space.

"Is that ... the Moon and the shinobi world?"

In the bridge room of the World Ark, Uzumaki Nagato's expression looked horrified as he saw the two astronomical objects about to collide.

'Unexpectedly, we spent too much time in the exam space.'

'Soon, the Moon is about to collide with the shinobi world!'

'If so, the shinobi world...'

Uzumaki Nagato's expression instantly turned gloomy. There was no doubt that the collision between the Earth and the Moon would result in the complete destruction of the Moon.

But the shinobi world would also be impacted, and the impact couldn't be ignored!

'The shinobi world!'

'Will end!'

Not only Uzumaki Nagato, but Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata were also staring blankly at the screen in front of the console at the moment.

A fist-sized ball of violently burning Moon was crashing into a brilliant blue sphere, hundreds or thousands of times larger than it.

　　...

Swish!

Somewhere in the shinobi world, a void suddenly shattered, and Otsutsuki Kaguya's figure floated out of it.

Her eyes slightly wavered as if she was looking for something, then her arm lifted, and a black chakra creature was sucked straight into her sleeve.

"Mother?"

Feeling the familiar scene, Black Zetsu looked at Otsutsuki Kaguya in surprise. He thought the one who grabbed him was Otsutsuki Urashiki, but unexpectedly, it was his own mother!

And...

'Mother's strength!'

Black Zetsu was instantly filled with ecstasy. He had just been so focused on escaping Otsutsuki Urashiki's attack that he hadn't paid any attention to the exam questions in this exam space, let alone the rewards in the exam space.

At first, he thought that the Six Paths had been snatched by Otsutsuki Urashiki, and his mother's strength couldn't be recovered. He even thought that his mother was in danger.

However, she came back stronger than before!

'It seems to be the exam space!'

Almost instantly, Black Zetsu figured everything out.

Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly heard his mother say, "It's too late!"

Then, before Black Zetsu could react, Otsutsuki Kaguya took him and disappeared. Unexpectedly, in the next moment, they appeared outside of the shinobi battlefield.

Not far away, the monster was tens of thousands of meters away. Further away, Otsutsuki Toneri and Otsutsuki Urashiki were fighting.

The battle wasn't intense. Even Black Zetsu could see that Otsutsuki Urashiki was toying with Otsutsuki Toneri.

At the moment, Otsutsuki Toneri was panting, while Otsutsuki Urashiki was still taking it easy.

Further away, those high-level leaders of the Allied Shinobi Forces, or the shinobi brought by Otsutsuki Urashiki, were looking at the clouds overhead in horror.

"It's too late!"

At the moment Otsutsuki Kaguya appeared, Otsutsuki Urashiki noticed her and instantly swept Otsutsuki Toneri away with a single blow. After bullying him, he sent him flying.

Otsutsuki Urashiki coldly looked at Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was prepared and didn't interfere. He just said:

"Instead of worrying about the shinobi of this place, it's better to worry about whether this Moon strike would kill us all!"

"We are what's left of the Otsutsuki clan. We can't even hurt a single scale on the Leviathan!"

"I! Otsutsuki Urashiki will kill this already wounded Leviathan with a blow that can even destroy the entire shinobi world!"

With that, Otsutsuki Urashiki raised his hands high. As if he was crazy, he slammed them down hard!

Boom!!!

A loud sound exploded above the shinobi world, and the roaring Moon above seemed to accelerate, smashing towards the Leviathan that was slowly floating up.

...

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"Is the shinobi world going to be destroyed?"

Everyone in the shinobi world was horrified as they saw the shadows, tens of thousands of meters overhead. Not to mention the ordinary shinobi that turned pale from fright. Even Senju Tsunade, Ay, Onoki and others were left speechless.

'It's terrible!'

They survived Uchiha Madara's Tengai Shinsei, but how could they survive that massive Moon right now?

"We're all going to die..."

Terumi Mei pursed her lips, and her expression was unspeakably gloomy.

Originally, she told the shinobi of Kirigakure that her marriage could be delayed, but the war couldn't be delayed. But now...

Terumi Mei slowly closed her eyes, then opened them again with some expectations, but she never saw the green figure again.

Not only Terumi Mei, but Chiyo also closed her eyes at this moment.

Only those shinobi who were resurrected with the Impure World Reincarnation were staring at the fierce winds brought on by the falling Moon. Their eyes unblinking, staring at the Moon coming down above them.
