"My mission is complete."
Seeing Isshiki otsutsuki reincarnated in Jigen's form, Koji Kashin spoke indifferently.
What happened next depended entirely on Amado Sanzu's arrangements. The current Isshiki otsutsuki was already beyond his capability to handle.
Watching Koji Kashin struggling to rise, Isshiki otsutsuki let out a cold snort: "Still trying to resist? These Black Receivers possess the power to disrupt chakra flow. You've already lost."
With that, he conjured a glass of red wine into his hand.
Isshiki otsutsuki swirled it slightly before taking an elegant sip.
At that moment, the Black Receivers embedded in Koji Kashin suddenly shattered.
Immediately afterward, Koji Kashin slammed both hands onto the ground.
[Reverse Summoning Jutsu!]
Poof!
Koji Kashin's body transformed into a wisp of white smoke and vanished without a trace.
"Tch, those Ninja-Ware gadgets… Miscalculation," Isshiki muttered with disdain.
He didn't care about not killing Koji Kashin.
Just a clone—hardly worth his attention.
Nothing else mattered except Kawaki.
Isshiki otsutsuki directed his gaze toward Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, speaking elegantly: "Hand over Kawaki, and I'll leave immediately."
Hearing this, Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki tightened their grips on their weapons, positioning themselves protectively in front of Kawaki.
Though they didn't understand exactly what was happening, the sudden appearance of such powerful, mysterious opponents—one possibly connected to Jiraiya-sama—warranted thorough investigation.
"Reinforcements will arrive shortly. I advise you to cooperate with our investigation."
"Certainly not?" Isshiki replied coolly. "Then you shall die."
As a noble member of the Otsutsuki Clan, merely conversing with these two insects was already an enormous favor.
Since they refused to show proper gratitude, elimination became necessary.
Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki simultaneously scoffed: "The whole of Konoha stands behind us. We guard Konoha's gates with our lives—we will not be defeated!"
"Foolish."
Golden light flashed in Isshiki's eyes as Daikokuten: Shokatsu and Sukunahikona were instantly unleashed.
Black Receivers seemed to materialize from thin air, impaling both Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki.
"Damn it… He's way too strong…"
Lying on the ground, Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki immediately lost all capacity for resistance.
Isshiki otsutsuki advanced toward Kawaki.
Kawaki's arm transformed directly into a thick column of molten lava, crashing toward Isshiki.
"You dare defy me?"
Isshiki contemptuously grabbed Kawaki's attack with one hand, then sent him flying a hundred meters away with a single kick.
Kawaki hit the ground, spewing blood from his mouth.
Just then, a yellow flash appeared, and Isshiki Otsutsuki was sent flying with a single kick.
Naruto Uzumaki, his entire body glowing with a golden chakra aura, pulled the Black Receivers from Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki. He said coldly, "Stay back. I'll handle this one."
Right after that, Sasuke Uchiha's figure also appeared at the village entrance.
"Isshiki Otsutsuki, have you finally decided to stop hiding like a coward?"
Facing Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, Isshiki Otsutsuki remained calm.
"Just two insects daring to challenge my authority."
"Today, I'll offer both of you to the heavens."
Isshiki Otsutsuki had now reincarnated through Jigen's body and regained all his former strength.
After thousands of years, returning to his peak caused subtle changes within him unconsciously.
He had once feared Mirai Uchiha, but now that seemed meaningless.
After all, Kawaki was right here—no one on this planet could stop him anymore.
"Let's hear how much nonsense you can spew. I'd like to see what sets you apart from the rest of the Otsutsuki Clan."
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, his figure turned into another yellow flash.
Isshiki stood in place and kicked toward the Void.
Bang!
Naruto went flying from the impact.
"Too slow."
Isshiki scoffed.
The moment those words left his mouth, countless black flames suddenly appeared upon his body.
[Amaterasu!]
Sasuke Uchiha growled, unleashing Amaterasu against Isshiki Otsutsuki.
Isshiki Otsutsuki drank up the red wine in his hand, instantly absorbing all the black flames.
Anyone who saw it would surely say—
Now *that* was elegance at its finest!
After returning the wine glass to an alternate dimension, Isshiki Otsutsuki shot toward Sasuke Uchiha like a bolt of lightning.
Sasuke's pupils sharply contracted.
What speed! Incredibly fast!
Even with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he could barely catch a blurry image of his opponent. No wonder he kicked Naruto away so easily.
Not daring to slack off, Sasuke furiously poured his ocular power into his eyes.
Then, a Perfect Susanoo erupted into existence at the village entrance of Konoha.
"Hmph! This is the god-given might of the Uchiha Clan!"
Standing atop the Susanoo, pride showed on Sasuke's face.
However, just as his voice faded, Isshiki Otsutsuki leaped upward from the ground.
Bang!
Isshiki Otsutsuki's fist pierced through the Matoi effortlessly, sending Sasuke Uchiha flying with a single punch.
"Fleas," he scoffed. "No matter how many fancy techniques you master, you'll never match me."
The battle unfolded in an instant. Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki wore stunned expressions.
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were top-tier talents in the next generation—powerhouse fighters even among beyond Kage-tier shinobi.
Yet both had just been crushed so easily...
How terrifying!
Thud! Thud!
The moment they hit the ground, several Black Receivers embedded themselves into Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha's bodies.
Under the influence of the Black Receivers, both instantly lost their ability to fight.
"It seems I was too cautious earlier, actually believing insects could threaten me."
Isshiki Otsutsuki's confidence soared.
He had secretly collected intel about the ninja world for a long time and naturally recognized the identities of the two he had just defeated—Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
From what he recalled, these two had often claimed to be Mirai Uchiha's successors.
If they were true successors, they should possess strength not inferior to Mirai Uchiha's.
Judging from this performance, apparently Mirai Uchiha was nothing more than a name.
"Kawaki, obediently become my vessel—it's your highest honor!"
Seeing Isshiki Otsutsuki advancing toward him, Kawaki immediately turned and ran toward Konoha.
But within a second, Isshiki Otsutsuki already gripped his neck.
Amado Sanzu, who had been hiding in the shadows, could no longer hold back when he saw Kawaki being captured. He was about to activate the self-destruct mechanism to kill Kawaki.
However, before he could act, Isshiki Otsutsuki had already detected him.
Several Black Receivers pinned Amado Sanzu to the ground. Isshiki Otsutsuki sneered, "Amado, we'll settle our score later."
Then he turned his gaze to Kawaki struggling frantically in midair.
"Finally caught you."
A faint smirk crossed Isshiki Otsutsuki's face as he activated the reincarnation ritual!
