Naruto: Shadows of the Otsutsuki

Chapter 13: Clash of Existence

I do not own naruto in any way shape or form, this property belongs to kishimoto, viz media.

Naruto stands, still frozen in place, struggling against the invisible bonds of the erased concept of speed. His body, despite all his strength, remains bound by the Otsutsuki King's ability. He can feel the tension around him, the sheer impossibility of breaking through, and a flicker of doubt threatens his resolve. But as he remembers his nindo—his way of never giving up—a surge of new energy wells up within him. It isn't Kurama's chakra; this power feels limitless, ancient, yet entirely his own.

The Otsutsuki King watches Naruto strain, his confidence unwavering until he notices Naruto's body trembling, beginning to move, inch by inch. A look of shock crosses the King's face, and he quickly conjures a sword, the blade twisting and bristling with vine-like tendrils, pulsing with lethal energy. With a swift flick of his wrist, he hurls the sword straight at Naruto's head.

Time seems to slow down as Naruto watches the blade hurtle toward him, each heartbeat pounding louder in his ears. Memories flash before him: the faces of his friends, their trust in him, and his unyielding promise to protect them. Summoning every ounce of his will, Naruto draws on the red aura of god chakra, the energy pulsing to life, searing through the restraints. In an instant, he vanishes from his spot, the blade slicing harmlessly through the air where he once stood.

The King's eyes widen. Before he can react, Naruto is beside him, his hand glowing with an eerie, destructive energy. Without a word, Naruto channels his resolve into a technique he calls Void Palm—a strike that can erase any essence from existence. The power surges as he lands the hit, erasing the Otsutsuki King in a flash of brilliant, consuming light.

But even as the King's form disintegrates, the infinite palaces loom in the distance. Just as Naruto begins to lower his guard, a dark crackling sound fills the air, and the King reappears in the doorway of the third palace, now in the 5th dimension, his aura even more foreboding than before.

Naruto realizes he must destroy the palaces—every last one of them. Summoning the full might of his god chakra, Naruto's body glows with radiant energy, intensifying until it seems to radiate out to the heavens. He pulls his fists back, concentrating all his energy into one final strike. With a single, resounding punch, the sky splits, the ground trembles, and the three palaces disintegrate, reduced to dust across all dimensions.

The Otsutsuki King stares in horror at the destroyed palaces, his connection to rebirth severed. In desperation, he attempts to erase the concept of speed once more, but Naruto stands unaffected. He has transcended that concept now, moving beyond it, fully harnessing his god chakra. In the blink of an eye, Naruto appears beside the King, his hand aglow with Void Palm once more.

"Your time here is over," Naruto says, his voice resolute. With one final, devastating strike, he erases the Otsutsuki King from both the world of the living and the afterlife, severing his existence entirely.

The battlefield falls silent as the remnants of the King's essence dissipate, leaving Naruto standing alone, victorious, and bathed in the light of a new dawn.
