"Is this the power of a god?"
Orochimaru had already run to the highest point, gazing at everything in the distance, his heart filled with immense sighs.
With a mere wave of his hand, he seemed capable of destroying everything. If this wasn't a god, then what could be considered one?
"It's actually that terrifying?"
Obito enveloped himself within Kamui. He dared not show his face at all.
Having been beaten so many times, he had gained experience, but seeing the battle in the distance, he fell silent.
His fists clenched slightly, and a hint of doubt couldn't help but arise in his heart.
"The scale of this battle far exceeds the one with Nagato…"
"Can we… really defeat such a guy?"
"Even if the Ten-Tails is summoned…"
Obito was somewhat confused. He felt his understanding of this world becoming increasingly blurry. But then, suddenly, he realized something.
"Who exactly is he fighting?"
Who he was fighting was crucial, and this also piqued his curiosity.
"If it's someone who can deal with him, then…"
Driven by curiosity, Obito gritted his teeth and finally made a decision, and his figure quietly vanished from where he stood.
"What exactly is going on?"
Compared to Obito's curiosity, Black Zetsu's heart was filled with fear. Such a battle most likely indicated one thing.
"This is a battle with another Ōtsutsuki…"
In Black Zetsu's opinion, only an Ōtsutsuki could create such a commotion.
But he didn't understand. There was already an Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki, so why had another Ōtsutsuki appeared?
And why would two Ōtsutsuki fight each other?
"Why has this world become so crazy?"
Black Zetsu murmured, and fortunately, this time, the battle between these two seemed to have consciously moved away from Konoha.
He didn't know the reason, but he knew this was their chance to survive.
"It's time to leave. This place absolutely cannot be stayed in…"
Black Zetsu didn't want anything now, he just wanted to run away quickly.
"This power…"
And in a place relatively close to Konoha, Jigen's figure quietly appeared. He was constantly panting, and the cubes around him lay shattered on the ground.
Clearly, he had protected himself by relying on their defensive power and his own strength.
He looked up at the distance, where the area was completely engulfed in flames.
Even where he was currently, the already crumbling ground became even more scarred.
Countless deep pits and broken earth, illuminated by the raging fires all around, looked like a hell on earth.
"Damn it, this damn body…"
He cursed under his breath, not only at Takemi but also at Jigen's body.
If he hadn't been unable to bear his own power, if he hadn't been dragged down by this body, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.
He felt that he was reaching the limit of his body. Now he had only two choices left.
"Return to the Ten-Tails' dimension to absorb the Ten-Tails' power and stabilize the body…"
Stabilizing the body would naturally allow Jigen to continue to survive. He had been doing this for a thousand years.
However, once he left, Takeshiki would inevitably kill those two Kaguya descendants.
"Or take a gamble and capture those two Kaguya descendants."
However, doing so carried great risks. If he fails, he will be forced to revive.
He can't really do much with one or two days of lifespan. At most, he will have to randomly grab a passerby, and it will likely be the same as with Jigen.
He had tried countless times over the years, and the results were all extremely poor.
"But how much worse can it be than now? Might as well seize this opportunity." He gritted his teeth and instantly made a decision.
The opportunity was right in front of him. He would rather take a gamble, after all, as an Ōtsutsuki, he could revive.
At most, it would just be another thousand years of waiting.
Buzz—
In an instant, he furiously headed towards those two Kaguya descendants.
He hadn't expected Takeshiki to act without a word. He hadn't had the chance to leave a Karma on these two when he had saved them before, nor had he sent them into the Ten-Tails' dimension.
So during the battle, he had deliberately avoided their location, lest they be wiped out by the aftershocks.
'Now, it's time for you to repay me.'
Jigen roared in his heart, he only wanted to capture these two now.
Although not 'revived' meant he didn't possess the Byakugan, his sensory abilities were absolutely fine.
Under his perception, he instantly locked onto the two, and the power of space bloomed around him.
With the distortion of space, in the next instant, he had already appeared before the two.
But at the same time, a mysterious force locked onto him.
"This is…"
This force tugged at his body, causing him to lose his spatial judgment almost instantly.
His perception seemed to be overturned in this instant. Up, down, left, right, gravity and repulsion all seemed to be inverted compared to other positions.
At the same time, he was shocked to find that in mid-air, Takemi was already waiting for him.
"Senpai, you can find them, so can't I do the same?"
That ethereal voice made Jigen's eyes widen in fury, and the Truth-Seeking Ball behind Takemi merged together.
With the oscillation of Chakra, a golden greatsword, a thousand meters long, had condensed in his hand.
"I guessed you'd take a gamble, so I prepared in advance. After all, who would pass up such good material, just as I won't let you, a traitor, go."
"Traitor…"
Jigen quickly regained control of his body. Even if this control lasted only one second, it would be enough to decide their victor.
"I won't forget senpai's grace, so it's time to end this."
Takemi didn't hesitate at all. The thousand-meter-long golden greatsword suddenly swung, and endless Chakra poured down at this moment.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Boom—
The roar sounded again.
The golden greatsword silently swept through, and in an instant, the air exploded. Everything under this terrifying power was like tofu, instantly shattered and turned into smoke and dust.
Jigen's body was instantly cut into two, the extreme pain spreading through Jigen's body, and even permeating his heart.
At this moment, painful memories flooded his mind.
A thousand years ago, he was ambushed by Kaguya, and also had half his body severed…
