The reincarnation ritual proceeded quickly—within the blink of an eye, Isshiki Otsutsuki had completed his reincarnation.
"This vessel... it's truly marvelous."
"From now on, who can possibly stand in my way?"
After testing his new body, Isshiki Otsutsuki wore an excited smile across his face.
Compared to that defective vessel Jigen, Kawaki's body was practically custom-built for him.
Now, he not only possessed peak-level strength, but also didn't have to worry about damaging his body from using his powers.
After thousands of years lying dormant, he had finally achieved his goal!
Meanwhile, Amado Sanzu stood nearby with a furious expression.
He had schemed for so long, yet still failed to stop Isshiki Otsutsuki from completing his reincarnation.
This result was difficult for him to accept.
[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!]
[Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!]
The wind and fire elements combined, instantly engulfing Isshiki Otsutsuki's body.
However, just moments later, the massive flames vanished completely.
Isshiki Otsutsuki stood exactly where he'd been, completely unharmed.
He approached Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, gazing down at them disdainfully.
"You two have Ninja-Ware too..."
"Pity—they may have flashy tricks, but even then, they're just insects."
A sharp Black Receiver formed in Isshiki Otsutsuki's hand as he coldly declared,
"As the first to die after my reincarnation, you should feel honored."
As he spoke, the Black Receiver shot straight toward Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki's necks.
Just at that moment, an immense repulsive force suddenly appeared, sending Isshiki Otsutsuki flying away.
"Trying to kill my subordinates right here in Hidden Leaf Village—who do you think you're disrespecting?"
Mirai Uchiha's slightly lazy voice rang out as he appeared right in front of Kotetsu and Izumo.
"Lord Emperor, please forgive us..."
Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki wore expressions filled with shame.
As Konoha guards, being defeated so easily by their enemy was extremely humiliating.
Seeing their expressions, Mirai Uchiha calmly said, "Don't blame yourselves. After all, we're not in the Shippuden era anymore."
Hearing this, Kotetsu and Izumo exchanged puzzled looks.
What did that mean?
Without explanation, Mirai Uchiha simply treated their wounds briefly before walking toward Isshiki Otsutsuki.
Standing nearby, Amado Sanzu bitterly asked, "Why did you allow Kawaki to leave?"
"Don't you understand how important Kawaki is to Isshiki Otsutsuki?"
"Clearly you could have stopped Isshiki Otsutsuki's perfect reincarnation. Why give him such an opportunity?!"
Upon hearing Amado Sanzu's roar, Mirai Uchiha looked at him with mild surprise.
"Just a stray mutt. What difference does it make?"
Amado Sanzu was momentarily at a loss for words.
He'd long heard that the Uchiha shinobi were wild and unruly, and now he could see it firsthand.
Too arrogant!
Unable to contain himself, Amado Sanzu snapped hysterically, "Isshiki Otsutsuki isn't someone you've faced before! He's nothing like them at all!"
"You're far too sure of yourself."
Before Mirai Uchiha could respond, Isshiki Otsutsuki's amused voice rang out.
"It's already too late to say anything. I'll send you both to hell soon enough."
Saying so, he pulled out a wine glass filled with red wine from an alternate dimension and drank it in one gulp.
Hmph! Seeing Isshiki Otsutsuki's demeanor, Mirai Uchiha couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
For some reason, after watching Isshiki Otsutsuki's supposedly elegant movements, one phrase kept echoing in his mind.
"Officer, please sit down."
Isshiki Otsutsuki also sensed that Mirai Uchiha seemed to be mocking him and immediately growled angrily, "What are you laughing at?!"
Mirai Uchiha waved his hand dismissively. "I just thought of something funny."
"What's so funny?"
"Your wife just had a baby!"
"You bastard!!!"
Isshiki Otsutsuki finally realized he'd been tricked and could no longer maintain his previous elegance.
He smashed the wine glass on the ground and immediately activated his Dojutsu technique.
In an instant, Mirai Uchiha caught several sharp Black Receivers launched by Isshiki Otsutsuki.
"Incredible speed."
Isshiki Otsutsuki's pupils contracted.
Since regaining his powers, this was the first time someone managed to evade his attack.
"That's all you've got?"
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's contemptuous tone, Isshiki Otsutsuki sneered coldly, "Don't get too cocky, inferior creature!"
As his voice fell, several massive cubes suddenly appeared midair, hurtling downward toward Mirai Uchiha.
"This material I acquired by chance in space has extreme density and absolute hardness."
"Die!"
These cubes weighed more than mountains—just imagine the devastation from their falling from midair.
Isshiki Otsutsuki could already visualize Mirai Uchiha being crushed into paste.
However, unexpectedly, Mirai Uchiha simply threw an upward punch.
Boom!
All the cubes shattered instantly into dust, vanishing into midair.
Seeing this, Isshiki Otsutsuki's pupils suddenly constricted.
Although he had used only two attacks previously, they were truly his strongest techniques.
Yet both had been easily countered by Mirai Uchiha. Her strength seemed somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Thinking of this, Isshiki Otsutsuki's eyes turned cold.
Absolutely could not allow the opponent to strike back.
[Sealing Coffin!]
A huge black coffin and lid manifested out of nowhere, engulfing Mirai Uchiha's body.
The enormous weight even caused the ground to crack with spiderweb-like fractures.
At the moment the coffin and lid shut together, countless sealing formulas crawled all over its surface.
"No matter how powerful you are, there is absolutely no way you can escape."
Sealing techniques were the most terrifying things in this world; they could imprison enemies many times stronger than oneself.
His ultimate sealing technique, performed at full power, should be impossible to break even if the entire ninja world united against it.
Just as Isshiki was thinking this, the massive coffin shattered directly into pieces.
Mirai Uchiha lazily yawned.
"That's it?"
"If you don't have any other tricks, then it'll be my turn to strike next."
Mirai Uchiha showed no aura at all, yet everyone present felt an immense pressure emanating from her.
Especially Isshiki.
His ultimate sealing technique, performed at full strength, should be impossible to break even if the entire ninja world united against it.
Didn't that mean Mirai Uchiha's power had surpassed his by several tiers?!
