Rebirth of the Ōtsutsuki: Yash's Path to Godhood

Chapter 27: The Dragon's Price – Scale of the First Beast

---

Location: Ryūjin Gorge – Depths of the Scaleforge

Time Remaining Until Amayō Awakens: 61 Hours

The sky cracked open above Ryūjin Gorge, a place where chakra storms raged endlessly, and ancient dragon bones stretched across the horizon like mountains.

The team stood before a colossal black gate etched with draconic glyphs. The entrance to the Scaleforge, said to house the heart of Ryūko—the First Beast, sealed by the Ōtsutsuki for defying their god-plan.

> "We're being watched," Lunara whispered, her fox-ears twitching. "By something old."

Suddenly, lightning crashed—and the space behind them tore open like a screaming wound in time.

A woman fell from the rift, landing hard on one knee. Dust exploded around her. The chakra she released in a pulse was devastating.

Slender but strong. Golden eyes sharp with battle instinct.

A diamond mark glowing on her forehead.

> "Who the hell just summoned me here?" she snapped.

Tsunade Senju.

But she was younger. Her skin unwrinkled, her figure perfect, her voice commanding.

Yash stepped forward, astonished. "You're… Senju Tsunade. One of the Sannin."

Her gaze narrowed. "That's Lady Tsunade to you, brat. And you—"

Her voice paused as she looked him over.

> "What… are you?"

Tsunade cracked her knuckles, chakra coating her fists in golden fury.

> "If you dragged me here with some forbidden jutsu, then you better explain yourself. Or I'll splatter you across this canyon."

Yash smiled.

> "Then let's talk… the way shinobi do."

Mini-Boss Encounter: Tsunade Senju (Unbound)

> Style: Taijutsu + Medical Chakra Control

Unique Buff: Time-Lost Clarity (+20% reaction speed, no fatigue penalty)

Objective: Survive for 2 minutes or land a critical strike

The fight was brutal. Tsunade's strength shook the ground, split rocks, and sent shockwaves echoing into the mountains.

Yash used Temporal Slide, dodging her blows while countering with chakra blades and pressure-point strikes.

But she kept coming. Faster. Smarter.

Then—he baited her with a feint, using Aeyra's Moon Reflection to show her an illusion: a dying version of Jiraiya whispering "He's not your enemy."

She hesitated—and Yash struck. Not to wound, but to heal.

[Skill Activated – Rebirth Touch: Cellular Rewrite]

> Yash infused her with pure Ōtsutsuki chakra, stabilizing her time distortion.

Her body flared with light. Memories aligned. Her chakra calmed.

Tsunade staggered, blinking.

> "You… stabilized my time anchor. No one but Hashirama could've done that."

She looked at him, golden eyes softer now.

> "What the hell are you?"

Yash smiled gently. "Someone who's going to rewrite the fate of this world. And maybe… someone you'll come to trust."

Tsunade folded her arms under her generous chest, a smirk forming.

> "You're cocky. Dangerous. And far too smooth. I'll be watching you… very closely."

Time Remaining Until Amayō Awakens: 60 Hours

Next Objective: Forge Pact with the First Beast – Ryūko

But the dragon spirit is not impressed by blood.

It only respects sacrifice.

And in the shadows… a traitor among the Ōtsutsuki harem stirs.
