Rebirth of the Otsutsuki: Yash's Path to Godhood

Chapter 5: The Arrival of the Rogue Otsutsuki

---

The wind changed.

Yash felt it instantly—an ancient chakra ripple that didn't belong to the shinobi world. It wasn't like Kaguya's elegant divinity. This was twisted. Hungry.

He stood slowly, senses sharpened.

[Warning: Hostile Otsutsuki Signature Detected.]

> Name: Ryuka Otsutsuki

Rank: Exiled Divine-Blood

Power: Unknown. Danger Level: HIGH.

A tear opened in space—a black rift crackling with electricity. From it stepped a figure cloaked in shifting white robes. Silver hair. Pale eyes. Horns curved back from his forehead like a crown of bone.

Ryuka.

He landed silently, eyes locked on Yash. Then he smiled.

"Well, well… looks like she finally made another one," Ryuka said. "Kaguya's latest toy."

Yash didn't flinch.

"Who are you?"

"Her failure," Ryuka replied. "Her first attempt at creating a mate. Before she realized power without obedience is… dangerous."

Yash felt Kaguya's chakra stir faintly inside his soul—tightening like a clenched fist.

[System Message: Kaguya Soul Fragment Reacting… Accessing Memory Echo.]

A flicker of vision:

Kaguya. Younger. Smiling.

Ryuka beside her. Handsome. Obedient… until he wasn't. He tried to control her. Tried to devour her.

She nearly died stopping him—and cast him into a tear between dimensions.

---

Yash blinked as the echo faded. Ryuka was watching him with cruel amusement.

"She chose you? You're barely evolved. Still clinging to mortal weakness. Women. Emotions." His smile turned to a sneer. "You'll die like the others."

"I'm not the others," Yash said coldly. "And I don't need your approval."

"You'll need more than words."

[Mini-Boss Encounter: Ryuka Otsutsuki – Initiated]

Ryuka moved in a blur. His palm opened and space folded. Yash barely dodged as the ground where he stood collapsed into a gravity well.

"Gravity Manipulation," Yash thought. "Advanced."

He countered with his new Sharingan—time dilated slightly. He formed hand seals, fire chakra surging.

"Ember Grasp: Crimson Bind!"

Flames erupted in chains, lashing out at Ryuka's limbs. But Ryuka smirked and flicked his wrist. The flames froze mid-air.

"Nice trick," Ryuka said. "Mine's better."

He flicked his fingers—

BOOM.

Yash was blasted backward, crashing through three trees. Blood spilled from his lip.

[Damage Sustained. System Healing Engaged.]

Yash gritted his teeth, chakra boiling. Behind him, Reina and Aya stirred from their resting spots, drawn to the clash.

He couldn't lose. Not here.

Not now.

[Divine Core Surge: Kaguya Fragment Responding]

[Temporary Buff Activated – Yin-Yang Boost + Otsutsuki Physiology Reinforcement]

[Time Limit: 2 Minutes]

Yash's body lit with silver energy. His veins pulsed with godlike chakra. When he rose, his eyes were glowing—a mixture of Sharingan and something deeper… something not yet named.

He charged forward.

This time, Ryuka staggered.

Their fists clashed like meteor strikes. Trees shattered. Earth cracked.

Yash spun midair and slammed a palm into Ryuka's chest—releasing a burst of chakra enhanced with Senju life force and Uchiha flame.

"Divine Flame Palm!"

Ryuka roared in pain as he was launched backward, crashing into a cliffside.

---

The older Otsutsuki knelt in the rubble, panting, grinning.

"You might be worth watching after all," he muttered. "But don't think this is over. You're still incomplete."

He vanished into space-time—retreating.

---

Yash stood amidst the ruin, panting, blood dripping from his mouth.

[System Notice: Victory – Ryuka Repelled (Not Defeated)]

New Ability Unlocked: Gravity Resistance (Passive)

Behind him, Aya ran to his side. Reina followed, arms crossed.

"You good?" Reina asked. "You're bleeding."

"I'm fine," Yash muttered. "But he's not the last."

Aya looked up at him. "Who was that?"

Yash stared at the sky.

"A reminder. That gods are always watching."
