Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, who had half his body brutally smashed and one leg broken by Nanaise, shrieked as he stumbled backward.
Just as he managed to put a little safe distance between himself and Nanaise, a thunderous hand suddenly shot out from behind him in the next moment, piercing straight through his chest and accurately destroying his entire heart.
Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki vomited a mouthful of thick blood mixed with internal organs with a 'wah' sound. Struggling to turn his head, he saw Sasuke's cold, expressionless face.
This damned couple had no martial honor. It was either the man fighting desperately while the woman launched a sneak attack, or the woman fighting desperately while the man launched a sneak attack. Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki was utterly beaten into submission.
Dying at the hands of that woman, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki could have accepted it, since he truly could not defeat that violent woman. But to have his life finally taken by this man who was weaker than him filled Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki with immense resentment.
However, he suddenly had a change of thought. A weaker opponent actually had its advantages. Perhaps he could seize that sliver of a slim chance for survival on Sasuke.
Thinking this, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki forcefully grabbed Sasuke's wrist with his remaining strength and channeled a hidden, mysterious power into his arm.
After doing this, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki felt the world before him rapidly darkening. The hand of the death god seemed to already be firmly gripping his head.
"Human Path."
Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki faintly heard the cold voice of that strongest one. A terrifying spiritual force violently invaded his mind in the next moment, recklessly all his memories.
Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki could do nothing about it. He didn't even have the ability to self-destruct or erase his own memories.
"Nanaise, your hand." Sasuke immediately walked over to check Nanaise's injury, his eyes filled with tension and concern.
"I'm fine, Sasuke-nii. How about you? Are you hurt anywhere? I'll have my dad heal you." Nanaise asked back with a smiling face.
"Your hand was pierced and you say you're fine?" Sasuke instinctively reached out and grasped Nanaise's wrist.
This close, intimate gesture made Nanaise's cheeks blush slightly. Her shy gaze glanced at Sasuke's handsome face before quickly darting away.
"I'm really fine."
Seeing Sasuke carefully trying to pry open her palm to check the injury, Nanaise explained in a small voice, her face still red.
"Let me see."
Sasuke was uncharacteristically insistent. Nanaise said "oh" and then opened her palm, which was stained red with blood.
"Don't push yourself like this in the future. What girl fights as recklessly as you? If we had coordinated just now, we clearly could have avoided getting injured."
Before Sasuke's nagging words could finish, he saw the wound on Nanaise's palm miraculously disappear.
Seeing this, Sasuke's face was full of astonishment. He instinctively used his hand to wipe away the red bloodstain on Nanaise's palm, only to find that the hand which had taken the sharp black rod head-on was truly completely unharmed.
Not only was the hand fine, it was also very tender, very pink, and showed no trace of a healing scar at all, as if she had never been injured.
"How can this be."
Sasuke looked at the blushing girl before him with an incredulous expression, his shocked eyes as if he were looking at a monster.
"I told you I was fine."
Nanaise said in a small voice, her face red.
Whether it was her Tailed Beast Sage Body, her Sage's Inner Core, or her Yang Seal, all possessed the ability to instantly heal injuries.
That man who treated his daughter as the apple of his eye, upon seeing his daughter injured, had directly chosen to ignore it. One could imagine how ridiculously high Nanaise's health pool and healing rate were.
That minor injury on Nanaise's palm probably healed completely before her father could even get close. So Ryun didn't bother with her at all, not even asking if she felt uncomfortable anywhere.
This was a 'tank', and a violent one at that. In this world beneath their feet, her health pool was only shorter than her father's, but had already completely surpassed her mother, Kushina Uzumaki.
Her body flowed with the blood of the Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha clans. All three of these bloodline powers had been fully activated by Ryun using his divine realm abilities. Even her eyes had advanced to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan that never loses sight.
Ryun dared to confidently bring her into the battle team because his daughter was truly strong enough, truly capable of taking hits and dealing damage.
"Your body is incredibly strong." Sasuke finally managed to squeeze out this phrase of praise after a long pause.
His clansister's incredibly robust physique with such high fault tolerance made him, a fragile individual, extremely envious.
Hearing this, Nanaise actively withdrew her hand and gave him a look with her beautiful eyes. "Sasuke-nii really doesn't know how to give compliments."
"Uh." Sasuke scratched his head with an awkward laugh. His mother said the same thing about him, especially when facing women.
At Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's corpse.
"So? Does the enemy still have reinforcements?"
After taking a large piece of flesh from Momoshiki's body, and seeing Ryun finish browsing the memories, Orochimaru hurriedly asked.
"Yes."
Ryun nodded with a grave expression.
"The Ōtsutsuki clan has sent one veteran divine realm powerhouse, plus four Six Paths level powerhouses." Ryun directly revealed this startling intelligence.
Everyone present showed expressions of shock and dread upon hearing this. They hadn't expected the Ōtsutsuki clan to dispatch so many high-end combatants at once. It could practically be called insane.
This intelligence made everyone understand the terrifying foundation possessed by this alien race. Ryun's previous action of risking offending everyone in the world to reclaim chakra now seemed absolutely correct in everyone's eyes. The Ōtsutsuki clan was truly so powerful that it inspired despair.
Actually, Ryun had even more frightening intelligence that he did not reveal. That was, the incoming divine realm powerhouse had once killed a divine realm opponent of the same level.
In Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's memories, this guy's strength could rank third in the entire clan. He was a truly ruthless and formidable figure.
"We will block soldiers with generals, and dam water with earth. The combat power we possess here is not inferior to those people. The only point we need to pay attention to is not letting those people directly descend upon our world." Looking at the azure planet not far away, Orochimaru reminded with a serious expression.
"Teacher is right. We must intercept the enemy in space ahead of time. We absolutely cannot let battles of that level affect our homeland." Ryun nodded in agreement.
Most divine realm powerhouses possessed planet-destroying level combat power. If those people descended upon their home planet, the world beneath their feet could easily be shattered.
After the group discussed this matter for a moment, Ryun suddenly reached out and opened the Ten-Tails seal located in his abdomen.
Numerous Divine Tree roots abruptly shot out, wrapped around Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki on the ground, and directly dragged him into the seal.
The Ōtsutsuki clan members could serve as excellent nourishment for the Divine Tree. Ryun didn't mistreat his own Ten-Tails. This could be considered making the best use of everything.
