From Victor and Boro's minds, two spatial coordinates were extracted. Naruto decided to investigate them one by one.
Using Yomotsu Hirasaka, he instantly connected to distant space.
Naruto, Obito, and Madara arrived at the location indicated by the coordinates.
A high platform stood near a wall bearing a pair of horn-shaped totems carved above and below!
Obito examined the lower totem: "Hey, look at this totem's shape..."
Madara said: "Identical to Kaguya's horns!"
Naruto's eyes narrowed slightly: "Could this be..."
He leaped up and pressed his hand against that totem!
Hum!
Suddenly, Kaguya's image materialized on the high platform!
Obito and Madara both tensed defensively: "What is...!?"
Naruto landed: "Relax, it's just a projection..."
After several seconds, the image vanished and he fell into contemplation.
In his previous life, before directly confronting Kara, Sasuke had followed spatial coordinates left behind after Kara's airship crashed, arriving at a mysterious space with similar configurations!
Naruto's gaze shifted upward to the upper curved horn totem. He jumped again and pressed it!
Whoosh!
Another image appeared on the platform!
This Otsutsuki had pale skin and grayish-white hair. A single curved horn grew from his head to the back of his skull like a crown.
He possessed only one eyebrow on his forehead, positioned above his right eye. That right eye was heterochromatic—a black wheel pattern with eight radiating spokes at its center.
His left eye was a Byakugan. His hair, right eyebrow, and beard were all grayish-white with distinctive serrated patterns. Vertical rows of tomoe tattoos adorned his chest and back. Both fingernails and toenails were painted black.
Obito frowned: "This is..."
Naruto's expression darkened as he studied the image: "Exactly. This is Isshiki's true form!"
Madara murmured: "Quite imposing. They say his status once surpassed Kaguya's, right? The totem placement makes that clear."
Whoosh!
Isshiki's image disappeared.
Obito turned toward the wall: "Naruto, you seem familiar with this wall..."
Naruto nodded: "Correct. In my previous life, Sasuke visited this space. This wall chronicles the Otsutsuki who came to Earth. Originally, it didn't just record Kaguya and Isshiki—it also documented Momoshiki and Kinshiki, plus... traces of another Otsutsuki pair."
Madara glanced over: "Another pair?"
Naruto explained: "Those totems were deliberately destroyed back then. Sasuke never uncovered the full truth, but later I learned from Amado that they recorded Urashiki and 'Ryushiki'—Urashiki's superior!"
Obito's gaze grew somber: "The one who destroyed the ninja world was an Otsutsuki called Jinshiki. Before that, did you ever encounter Ryushiki?"
Naruto shook his head: "Never. He remained hidden from beginning to end. We knew absolutely nothing about his background. But according to Amado, Ryushiki ranks among the top five strongest in the entire Otsutsuki clan..."
Obito's pupils dilated sharply: "In that case..."
Naruto's expression turned grave: "Yeah, I didn't grasp it then, but now I realize Ryushiki's power probably exceeds even Jinshiki's. If that monster had acted early, we wouldn't have survived until Jinshiki's arrival. Why Ryushiki came but never revealed himself remains a complete mystery. Maybe this lifetime we can solve it!"
[Note: Ryushiki has never appeared or been mentioned in Boruto, but following established patterns, there's potential for future appearances. If Ryushiki does appear, please refer to the original Boruto series for related plot developments.]
"ROAAAAR...!!!"
A distant roar snapped all three from their thoughts.
They turned toward the massive container in the distance!
Naruto said: "Ah, forgot to mention—this space is exactly where Kara stores the Ten-Tails!"
Moving closer, they peered through the container's gaps at that crimson eyeball!
Obito said: "The Ten-Tails... Even knowing the truth, personally confirming this terrifying beast isn't unique still unsettles me."
Naruto said: "The Ten-Tails was never Kaguya's exclusive weapon—it's a tool that clan uses to drain planetary life force. The difference is Kara's Ten-Tails remains juvenile, hasn't become a Divine Tree, and hasn't produced fruit..."
Obito asked: "How do we handle this?"
Madara said: "Obviously we're taking it back."
Obito said: "I know we're taking it, but won't that tip them off? Looks like Kara's main base—where Jigen's hiding—isn't here."
"..." Naruto's gaze darkened: "Let's try the other spatial coordinate!"
Whoosh!
Yomotsu Hirasaka opened, revealing an already evacuated base!
Naruto frowned: "Too late? Obito, can you reverse time?"
Obito closed his eyes, sensing: "Beyond reversal limits. They evacuated roughly thirty minutes ago. But... I can replay what happened!"
Naruto said: "Then let's see what went down!"
Obito's eyes focused intently.
—Yomotsu Hirasaka: Past Replay!
Simultaneously with the Inner trio's defeat, Amado rushed frantically before Jigen!
"Boro, Victor, and Deepa defied your orders and walked straight into Uzumaki Naruto's trap! Our location has definitely been compromised!"
Hearing this, Jigen's expression showed no expected panic: "Even so, finding this place won't happen instantly!"
Amado said: "I'm afraid it will. Uzumaki Naruto possesses the same Yomotsu Hirasaka ability as Kaguya..."
"What?" Jigen's brow furrowed: "He has the Rinnegan, but no Byakugan, correct?"
Amado said: "My oversight. I accessed satellite imagery—Toneri granted Naruto Byakugan power, fulfilling Yomotsu Hirasaka's activation requirements. He can reach us in an eyeblink..."
Hearing this, Jigen gripped his chair's armrests and stood: "I'll transfer the Ten-Tails!"
Amado said grimly: "No time! You lack suitable reincarnation vessels right now. Excessive chakra consumption means death. Preserve yourself for future opportunities!"
Jigen studied the exhausted elder before him: "Amado... you truly are loyal."
But Amado replied: "Don't misunderstand—loyalty means nothing to me. We share common interests, so I'll protect you desperately. Don't worry, I'll create more powerful cyborgs to fill our combat gap. For now, we retreat!"
Jigen reluctantly conceded: "No other choice..."
At the replay's end, Amado turned around. As if anticipating Naruto's trio's arrival, he addressed the air: "Uzumaki Naruto, having experienced the future once, you should know my background. But I can't determine your current stance or potential attitude toward me!"
"So for self-preservation, I can't let you find Isshiki now. Kara's Ten-Tails—consider it my goodwill gesture. Take it. I've shown my sincerity, so now show me yours..."
Whoosh!
The replay ended. Naruto shook his head with genuine admiration: "Amado... still the same cunning fox..."
