Chapter 309 310
Emerging from the cave, Uchiha Fugaku gazed up at the sky.
It was daytime on the moon, and in the distant sky, a sun shone with a perfect brightness.
Under this perfect light, the flora and fauna of the moon received the perfect amount of sunlight without being overly hot.
With a swish—
Activating the Instantaneous Body Movement Technique, Uchiha Fugaku concealed his whereabouts and darted through the forest, dashing towards the sun like Kuafu chasing the sun.
He rushed towards the sun because it wasn't a real one, but an artificial one, inhabited by Ōtsutsuki Toneri.
After running for several hours, Uchiha Fugaku arrived beneath it.
He stopped in the woods beneath the artificial sun to rest, restoring his depleted chakra to its peak. Then, he gazed up at the artificial sun overhead—the Moon Palace, home to the Moon's Byakugan clan.
He saw a large number of humanoid Ōtsutsuki puppets on flying puppets entering and exiting the Moon Palace's portals, resembling a hive of bees.
"How can I sneak in quietly?"
The best way to kill Ōtsutsuki Toneri was naturally to infiltrate the artificial sun in the sky and assassinate him.
However, even with his Disguise Technique, he found this difficult.
Currently, the only person alive in Tsukino-no-Miya was Ōtsutsuki Toneri; the others were puppets.
Impersonating Ōtsutsuki Toneri was impossible. All Ōtsutsuki puppets were Ōtsutsuki Toneri's eyes. Would suddenly seeing him be an insult to Ōtsutsuki's intelligence?
Therefore, the only thing he could impersonate was a puppet.
"The humanoid Ōtsutsuki puppets resemble humans, making them easy to impersonate with the Disguise Technique, but the flying puppets are shaped like birds, making impersonation difficult," Uchiha Fugaku thought helplessly.
Even with his Disguise Technique, he couldn't possibly impersonate a bird; it was beyond the capabilities of the ninjutsu.
Furthermore, if he used the Transformation Technique, his appearance would only be similar, without the ability to fly.
Without the ability to fly, how could he reach the Moon Palace suspended in the sky?
"Transformation combined with the Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique is something I could give a try."
Uchiha Fugaku used local materials, cut off a thick branch, and transformed it into a flying puppet using the Transformation Technique.
He then performed the Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique on the "flying puppet."
The Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique is a ninjutsu unique to the Hidden Rock Village, a technique never taught to outsiders, and is also quite difficult to perform.
Unfortunately, he encountered Uchiha Fugaku.
Aside from bloodline limits and secret techniques requiring special physical abilities, there's virtually no ninjutsu that his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan can't replicate.
During the Akatsuki attack, Uchiha Fugaku witnessed the Third Tsuchikage performing this jutsu and copied it.
Swish—
With the Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique performed, the flying puppet levitated and soared into the sky.
Uchiha Fugaku performed the Disguise Jutsu, transforming into a humanoid puppet and leaping onto the flying puppet.
He controlled the flying puppet and flew toward the Moon Castle in the sky.
Together with the other flying puppets, Uchiha Fugaku flew toward the castle's entrance and then inside.
"Successful infiltration?"
Just as Uchiha Fugaku thought he had successfully infiltrated, something unexpected happened.
A wave swept over him and the other puppets.
Then, the puppets who had flown peacefully into the Moon Castle with him suddenly turned hostile.
Some of them ejected weapons from their arms and lunged at him.
Others, with yellow orbs condensing in their hands, fired at him.
"Exposed!"
Uchiha Fugaku realized that the wave must have been responsible for his exposure.
That wave should have had a detection capability, capable of distinguishing between real and fake Ōtsutsuki puppets.
While the Disguise Jutsu's impersonation was flawless, the puppets he was impersonating were, after all, puppets, not humans. A perfect imitation was certainly not possible, leading to his exposure.
Swish—
Uchiha Fugaku dodged, avoiding the yellow orbs of light that attacked him.
Then, he drew a kunai in each hand, infusing them with wind-attribute chakra, transforming them into two cyan swords.
Crack, crack, crack!
He pounced on the Ōtsutsuki puppets, rapidly crossing paths with them.
As he stopped, they were all snapped in half, completely clearing out the Ōtsutsuki puppets near the entrance.
However, this was Ōtsutsuki Toneri's lair, so naturally, there were many Ōtsutsuki puppets.
Swish, swish, swish!
A vast number of Ōtsutsuki puppets rushed toward the entrance, some flying on flying puppets, others running on foot.
Soon, Uchiha Fugaku was surrounded by several times the number of Ōtsutsuki puppets, and their number continued to grow.
Swish, swish, swish!
A dense swarm of yellow light balls assaulted Uchiha Fugaku. Even with Uchiha Shisui's gift for instant body movement, he couldn't dodge such a dense attack.
"Corpse Vein. Bone Armor!"
Uchiha Fugaku activated his Corpse Vein, and dense, hard bones sprouted from his body, transforming into full-body bone armor.
Bang, bang, bang!
The yellow light balls struck the armor's surface, making a popping sound, their intensity like raindrops.
However, the armor remained undamaged by the barrage of attacks.
As a super-shadow-level Corpse Vein Jutsu, the Bone Armor not only grants Uchiha Fugaku immense strength but also defense comparable to that of a fully formed Susanoo armor.
This level of terrifying defense is beyond the reach of the yellow spheres.
Boom—
Ignoring the attack from the yellow spheres, Uchiha Fugaku charged into the Ōtsutsuki puppets.
With a single punch, he sent several Ōtsutsuki puppets flying side by side.
The immense force transmitted between the puppets, sending them flying backwards through the air, dismembered.
Ding!
One Ōtsutsuki puppet stabbed Uchiha Fugaku with its blade, but to no avail. Uchiha Fugaku spun and swept his kick like a battle axe.
Crack!
Several Ōtsutsuki puppets near him were severed in half.
Bang, bang, bang!
Each strike from Uchiha Fugaku was enough to destroy multiple Ōtsutsuki puppets, with astonishing efficiency.
The Ōtsutsuki puppets continued to converge, while the number of them around him steadily dwindled.
"Descendant of the Six Paths Sage, how could you be here?"
An angry voice rang out as Ōtsutsuki Toneri, accompanied by four special Ōtsutsuki puppets, arrived.
His eyeless face glared at Uchiha Fugaku, a mixture of rage and shock.
This was the Moon, not someplace in the Ninja World.
The space portal to the Moon was closed. How had this descendant of the Six Paths Sage gotten here?
"Everyone retreat!"
Knowing that ordinary puppets could do nothing to Uchiha Fugaku, he ordered the Ōtsutsuki puppets surrounding him to retreat.
The remains of the puppets littered the ground, and the sight of them only deepened his scowl.
These puppets had been accumulated over generations by his clan, and now, so many had been destroyed.
"How could you be here?" he demanded again, looking at Uchiha Fugaku standing atop the Ōtsutsuki puppet remains.
"You closed the space channel and refused to enter the Ninja Realm, so I had to come here on my own," Uchiha Fugaku said.
He had originally planned to sneak in and assassinate Ōtsutsuki Toneri, but unfortunately, he was exposed.
Since he was exposed, he could only kill him by force.
"I have closed the space channel. How did you get to the moon?" Ōtsutsuki Toneri asked the question in his mind.
"I flew here."
Uchiha Fugaku pointed to the sky and said.
"I flew here. It was you who invaded the moon a few days ago? You actually have the ability to fly from the Ninja Realm to the moon?"
Ōtsutsuki Toneri couldn't help but think of the strange meteorite crater a few days ago. His speculation was correct. There was indeed a living creature that landed on the moon, and this creature was the person in front of him.
At the same time, he was still shocked.
The distance between the Ninja Realm and the moon was extremely vast, and this person actually had the ability to fly from the Ninja Realm to the moon.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he asked.
"What are you doing on the moon?"
"You plan to destroy the ninja world, and if that happens, I'll be in a difficult position. So I have to destroy you before you do."
Uchiha Fugaku radiated undisguised murderous intent.
To evolve the Samsara Eye, one must forge Ōtsutsuki Toneri's bloodline limit.
And for someone as mad as Ōtsutsuki Toneri, death is not a pity. Without further ado,
Uchiha Fugaku stomped his foot down, cracking the rocky surface like a spiderweb under his feet.
This gave him immense speed, allowing him to rapidly close in on Ōtsutsuki Toneri.
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku planning to attack Ōtsutsuki Toneri, four special Ōtsutsuki puppets beside him leaped out, blocking him side by side.
Crack!
Uchiha Fugaku launched a powerful punch, shattering one of the special Ōtsutsuki puppets. Breaking free from his defenses, he charged straight at Ōtsutsuki Toneri.
"Descendant of the Six Paths Sage, the Moon is no place for you to run wild."
Ōtsutsuki Toneri glared at the oncoming Uchiha Fugaku with a cold expression.
If it were in the ninja world, he would undoubtedly be powerless, but now on the Moon, where he could harness the power of his massive Samsara Eye to a certain extent, he held no fear.
With a whoosh!
Drawing upon the power of the massive Samsara Eye, he raised his hand, which shone with a green light. A thick green beam shot forth from it, swiftly hurtling toward the oncoming Uchiha Fugaku.
Embodying the Bone Armor, Uchiha Fugaku's power was immense. He thrust his fist into the green beam.
With a resounding bang,
Uchiha Fugaku's fist collided with the green beam, shattering it like glass, scattering fragments in all directions.
The bullet hit the ground, creating a bottomless hole.
The bullet hit the Moon Palace's outer wall, creating a hole that was visible from front to back.
