Chapter 493 - 493: Pathetically Weak

Deep in space.

The home planet of the Otsutsuki clan.

Ten massive spatial rifts, resembling heavenly gates, appeared around the planet, completely encircling the Otsutsuki homeworld.

Immediately after, countless ninja troops surged out from within.

In just a few short moments, they had already arranged themselves into neat, orderly formations!

"Is this the home planet of the Otsutsuki clan?"

"To think it looks so similar to the ninja world..."

Seeing the true appearance of the Otsutsuki homeworld for the first time, the ninja troops marveled in awe.

The planet before them was almost identical in size to the ninja world.

However, due to over-exploitation, not a single trace of green could be seen anywhere on its surface.

Giving the Otsutsuki clan no time to react, the ninja army launched an all-out offensive the moment they arrived!

In an instant, the hundred-thousand-strong ninja army plunged headlong into Otsutsuki territory like a tidal wave.

"Strange, what are those pitch-black rifts in the sky?"

"They're spatial rifts. Who could have opened ones this large?"

"Send someone to inform the Ten Elders and see what exactly is going on."

Seeing the rifts in the sky, the members of the Otsutsuki clan broke into fervent discussion.

Their confusion only deepened when they saw the dense swarm of figures rapidly descending from high above.

Of course, that was the extent of their reaction.

Having always fancied themselves the overlords of the universe, they never would have imagined that the ultimate goal of these incoming figures was to wipe them out completely!

Finally...

A few minutes later, the ninja army led by Uchiha Yuzuru crashed into the ground.

Without a single wasted word, everyone immediately struck, unleashing a one-sided slaughter upon the Otsutsuki clansmen.

The once-peaceful planet instantly descended into chaos.

"Damn it, what's wrong with these bastards?! Someone stop them!"

"They're enemies from another planet! Everyone, counterattack!"

"Hmph! To think someone would actually dare to cause trouble for our Otsutsuki clan. They really don't know their place."

"Leave a few alive! I'm going to turn their entire star sector into a dead wasteland!"

Seeing the ninja army charging at them, the Otsutsuki clansmen sneered.

It had always been them slaughtering others; when had anyone ever dared to provoke them?!

These bugs crawling out from some unknown corner of the universe were completely out of their depth.

Yet, only moments later, the sense of superiority in the hearts of these Otsutsuki clansmen vanished without a trace.

They quickly realized that every single one of these enemies possessed formidable strength.

Furthermore, their teamwork was incredibly seamless, making them impossible to defend against.

The moment they clashed, the Otsutsuki clan suffered heavy casualties.

"Hahahahaha... The Otsutsuki clan is nothing special after all! Watch me go on a killing spree today!"

"You're the ones who've been plotting to destroy our home, right?! I'll wipe you out first!"

"Too weak, far too weak! You guys are even more pathetically fragile than I imagined."

The Otsutsuki clan's performance was far worse than the ninja army had anticipated. Under the assault of a highly organized military force, they couldn't even put up a decent resistance.

In an instant, the ninja army's morale soared, and they fought with increasing ferocity!

"These guys have lived in peace for so long that they've forgotten how to fight."

"Yeah, they have all this power but don't know how to use it. How pathetic."

"I thought this was going to be a tough battle. I didn't expect it to be this easy."

"Hahahahaha..."

Suddenly, hundreds of terrifying auras erupted across the planet.

"What kind of lowly scum dares to be so brazen?! Die!"

With the appearance of these auras, the advance of the hundred-thousand-strong ninja army was halted.

Joy appeared on the faces of the Otsutsuki clansmen, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The invading enemies before them were strong, numerous, and well-trained...

But there was a reason they had been able to dominate the universe for so long.

Now that their own experts had stepped in, the tide of battle was about to turn!

However, contrary to the Otsutsuki clansmen's expectations, just as their family's experts made their move, the nearly one thousand figures who had been observing the battle from the sky also sprang into action.

Auras surged—every single one of them was a Six Paths level expert!

"H-How is this possible?! Our Otsutsuki clan plundered the resources of countless planets just to cultivate a few hundred Six Paths experts! How could they possibly have this many Six Paths experts too?!"

"Damn it, where the hell did these bastards come from?! Why have we never heard of them before?!"

"Hurry and request the Ten Elders! We need them to step in for a situation like this!"

"Right! If the Ten Elders take action, they'll definitely be able to suppress these guys!"

Their spirits lifted, the Otsutsuki clansmen scrambled toward the location of the Ten Elders.

Ten Elders Tower.

Top floor.

Inside the conference room, ten figures sat around a massive round table.

These ten individuals were the strongest members of the current Otsutsuki clan.

Collectively known as the "Ten Elders"!

Listening to the shouts of battle and screams echoing from outside, the Ten Elders furrowed their brows.

One of them spoke in a deep voice, "Have we figured out the background of those enemies outside?"

"Not yet. There are no records of them in our archives."

"They clearly came prepared. How could there be no records?"

"There just aren't any. No one would lie about something like this."

"Then are there any records of missing Otsutsuki clansmen?"

"There are. The most suspicious is a place called the ninja world."

"I remember now. Isshiki and Kaguya disappeared on that planet. Later, Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki went to investigate, and they all lost contact as well..."

"That makes sense. These people most likely came from that planet called the ninja world."

Exchanging words back and forth, the Ten Elders locked their focus onto the ninja world.

"Alright, knowing the enemy's origins makes things easier."

"We have the specific coordinates of the ninja world. After this is over, not a single one of them will escape."

"It's too early to talk about that. Our top priority is to repel their assault!"

"With the ten of us joining forces, do you really think we have anything to fear from them?"

"We can't be careless. They have nearly a thousand Six Paths level experts. There might even be Kekkei Mora experts observing from the shadows."

"Even if that's the case, so what? Don't forget... we still have that lord protecting us from behind."

Hearing this, the expressions of all the Ten Elders turned solemn.

They made a devout gesture over their chests, then stood up in unison.

"Alright, it's time for us to head out."

"Although I wanted to use this opportunity to wake up those clansmen who are too immersed in the glory of our ancestors, it wouldn't be good to let things go too far."

"It's been a long time since I stretched my limbs. I hope our opponents don't disappoint me."

"Kill them all!"
