"Hagoromo, here's a letter for you. Read it in a couple of days." Sasame handed him the pre-written letter.
"Teacher, what's this for?" Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo asked, confused. Logically, they were together every day, so he could just say what he wanted. Wasn't writing a letter redundant?
"Hagoromo, you're the older brother, and your personality is more composed, so you'll have to bear many responsibilities," Sasame secretly thought, Won't this scare you to death?
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo immediately had a bad premonition. He looked up at the serious-faced Sasame and quickly asked, "Teacher, what happened?" His voice held undisguised panic. No matter how mature he was, he was still just a child. And his confidence actually came from the invincible Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. He couldn't imagine what they would do if something happened to his mother.
"It's nothing major," Sasame smiled, finding it quite amusing to tease the Sage of Six Paths.
"Then what is this letter?" Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo still wasn't reassured. Sasame was too unusual today. And he was about to leave with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, which had never happened before.
"It's about some suggestions for the future development of this world," Sasame patted his shoulder. "They're inspirations I've accumulated over time. I'm giving them to you; I hope they help."
"But... I'm still young," Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo was clearly not so easily fooled. You're acting like you're giving your last will and testament. No matter how I look at it, something's not right.
"Hagoromo, the future is yours," Sasame said earnestly. "Teacher is just an ordinary human and won't live for too long, but you and Hamura are different; your lifespans are long." Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo froze, a little panicked inside. He had grown accustomed to his teacher's presence. If he disappeared one day, he would be very sad.
"Alright, your mother is waiting for me," Sasame waved his hand, leaving only a profound silhouette behind him.
"Dad..." Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo watched him leave, then suddenly took a few steps forward, opening his mouth, but ultimately didn't call out. Compared to Ōtsutsuki Hamura, he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He lowered his head, looking at the envelope, and fell silent.
"Let's go," Sasame walked to the palace entrance. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who was waiting, turned her head, glanced at him, then took his hand.
In a flash, Sasame found himself in the Starting Ball Dimension of the Amenominaka. He looked around; it was desolate, with little scenery. Further in the distance, a different aura faintly emanated. These were the connecting points to the other five dimensions: the Hell of Lava, the Frozen Mountain Range, the Sea of Sulfuric Acid, the Boundless Desert, and the Hypergravity Space. Just by their names, he could pretty much guess their functions. It's worth noting that Obito Uchiha died in the Hypergravity Space. The Starting Ball Dimension was the main dimension, the only one directly connected to the other five. Here, one could absorb the chakra of ninjas trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi to strengthen oneself, making it a sort of supply station.
After confirming Sasame had entered the Starting Ball Dimension, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's face became completely devoid of emotion. She instantly appeared in the Land of Demons' metropolis. If Ōtsutsuki Isshiki were at his peak, he would be able to see through her suppressed power. But now he was injured. In fact, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, having eaten the God Tree fruit, was already half a step stronger than him. This contrast worked in her favor. She approached Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, or rather, Jigen, very smoothly.
It was an izakaya again. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was eating. Firstly, it was due to his personality; he enjoyed pleasure. Secondly, it was to conserve chakra. After all, if Jigen didn't eat, it would consume his chakra. With the Great Sage Toad's help, he had recovered seventy percent of his strength. But it was still not enough to confront Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. Therefore, he flatly refused the Great Sage Toad's invitation. And in the face of his refusal, the Three Great Sage Regions dared not do anything but pray he would fulfill his promise soon.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face showed a cold sneer. He immediately saw through the Great Sage Toad's intentions; how could he let it have its way? Defeating Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was certainly something he urgently wanted to do. But he demanded to do it without taking any damage. Because he was going to plant a tree afterward. What did the lives of the Three Great Sage Regions have to do with him? It could only be said that the Great Sage Toad was too foolish.
"Your sake." As Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was deep in thought, an ordinary human girl walked up and spoke. He paid her no mind, continuing to eat his food.
The next moment, a huge sense of crisis abruptly surged in his heart. He instinctively looked up and saw an eye gleaming with a crimson glow. The Rinne Sharingan.
"Kaguya?!" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face was filled with disbelief. What's going on? Why didn't I notice her even though she was so close? This Kaguya is very problematic! But he had no time to think. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a glacial expanse.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face was as dark as water. He extended his hands; black and red colors appeared before him but couldn't coalesce. Can't I perform spatial transfer? His heart skipped a beat, but he didn't lose his composure. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki withdrew his hands and asked, "Is this the ability you stole like a thief?" Although he tried hard to maintain his pride, by the end, his voice still revealed a hint of anger. Because it was supposed to be his! He had been careless, was ambushed, and thus lost the God Tree fruit. Now, seeing this thief use the fruit's power against him, how could he endure it?
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya paid no attention to his reaction, saying expressionlessly, "Today, you can't escape." Amenominaka was a dōjutsu of the Rinne Sharingan. In the original work, only the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan could freely enter and exit. And each time, it would consume a massive amount of chakra and dōjutsu power, even causing the tomoe to disappear. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki did not have the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
"Escape?" Anger appeared on his face. "If you hadn't ambushed me, it would be you escaping! Kaguya!"
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya gave no answer to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's words. She raised her hand. The glacier trembled, erupting with dazzling white light. Amidst the roar, the ice cracked, and countless mountain-like ice pillars shot up from the ground, raining down like ice shards.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's body trembled, and black marks appeared on his face. His aura immediately became exceptionally terrifying. His golden right eye, with its eight triangular patterns, flickered. A pile of gigantic black cubes poured out from his dōjutsu space. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's right eye was somewhat similar to Obito Uchiha's Kamui. It possessed a different dimension and could store and release objects.
Space vibrated. Black cubes and ice pillars continuously collided and shattered with a roar. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's eyes narrowed. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's recovery speed was far beyond her expectations. Why? She quickly thought of the Three Great Sage Regions. However, he was still not at his peak. In just one second, the ice pillars won, and their momentum unabated, they continued to crash down.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face was somewhat grim. Although there was a reason, losing to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who was of lower status than him, still made him feel extremely displeased. His golden right eye flickered again.
Dōjutsu: Sukuna Hikona! The giant ice pillars instantly shrunk to the size of ants, looking exceptionally miniature. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki clapped his hands, and a strong wind blew. All the ice pillars bounced back towards Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, immediately returning to their original size. In an instant, she was completely engulfed.
But Ōtsutsuki Isshiki knew this wouldn't harm her. Black receivers, constructed from Onmyōton, immediately appeared in his hands. He flashed, his Byakugan locked onto Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's position, and two black rods thrust towards her. The black rods had the effect of absorbing and disrupting the opponent's chakra. As long as they could touch Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, they would be effective. He was injured now, and what he needed most was chakra. If he could get enough, he would return to his peak, and only then could he defeat Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. He chose close combat because he knew she lacked combat experience.
But the next moment, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's fists descended like a furious storm. He couldn't react in time and was struck in the face by a punch, immediately bleeding profusely. In a moment of distraction, another four or five punches landed. With each punch, he felt as if his entire body was falling apart. This is definitely not Kaguya! In a flash of thought, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had endured the full Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. He was sent flying backward, landing on the ground, his white clothes thoroughly stained with blood.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's lips curved slightly. He who is absent for three days should be looked at with new eyes.How could you, a lone wolf, understand the importance of a servant? But she knew Ōtsutsuki Isssiki wasn't dead. Jigen, lying on the ground, erupted with an incomparably powerful aura. He stood up again. Black stripes covered his entire body, like wet ink dripping downwards. And the most significant difference from before was that he had grown a huge, curved horn, completely covering his head. He looked nothing like a human.
"You seem to have changed a lot," Ōtsutsuki Isshiki wiped the blood from his mouth. In his new state, he had completely shed Jigen's identity. In other words, this was his true self.
"From approaching me silently to that taijutsu just now, none of it should be something you can do," Ōtsutsuki Isshiki couldn't help but smile and ask, "Kaguya, can you tell me why?"
"Because I have someone I like, and you don't," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya thought for a moment and said.
"..." Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's smile froze. He wasn't upset about being mocked for being single, but because Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had actually fallen for someone else. After a few seconds, he burst into laughter.
"Kaguya, you are truly a disgrace to the Ōtsutsuki clan!" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's tone suddenly rose, his face full of disdain. "Even if I can't kill you, one day, the strong members of the Main Family will avenge me and kill you and the person you like."
The Ōtsutsuki clan were naturally strong, hence their arrogance and ruthlessness. They only pursued their own goals; anyone who stood in their way had to die. So-called emotions were merely burdens. Why did Ōtsutsuki Kaguya not have many emotional concepts? Because there was no need. Once she ate the God Tree fruit, she was destined to be immortal. Things like affection, love, partners, or offspring were all unnecessary.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya frowned, a strange anger inexplicably surging in her heart. She agreed with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's words, but she would not allow anyone to kill Sasame, except for her.
Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack! In an instant, extreme chakra surged forth, and countless fists, carrying chilling killing intent, filled the entire space.
