Takemi was a man of action. Especially with a new mission appearing, it made him even more enthusiastic.
Although most missions aren't very effective for him anymore, they're still missions.
Takemi rather missed the old days when he wasn't so strong and missions would pop up all the time.
For example, that [Delicious And Tasty Sisters] mission that once made him tremble with fear.
But now that missions had become scarce, he felt a bit unaccustomed to it. This contrast made him wonder if he was being a bit overly sensitive.
"You're really bored, thinking about such inexplicable things."
Inside Amenominaka, the God Tree Clone complained.
"Better to think about how to cooperate later. After all, the atmosphere is already here, it wouldn't make sense not to fight."
"Do you want me to smash your head?"
Takemi rolled his eyes and cursed subconsciously, but then he instantly felt something was wrong.
Oh no, he cursed himself.
"I don't care, you'll feel the pain anyway."
The God Tree Clone scornfully glanced at its main body before speaking.
"But it doesn't seem to matter. Our thoughts are consistent, and you know everything I use, so a draw shouldn't be a problem."
"That's the problem, how to make the fight look real yet effective." Takemi sighed.
His clothes, covered in Chakra, had already transformed into a white robe.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, you can use any power except those belonging to Ōtsutsuki, including Yin-Yang Release."
"That's true, it seems like I can use seventy to eighty percent of the power, which is enough. Just don't be too harsh."
"I know what you're thinking even if you don't say it."
"Aren't you saying it too?"
Takemi glared at his God Tree Clone. He felt his clone's personality was problematic. Though, that personality was his own.
But it was fine this way. When the two of them truly 'faced off,' it was impossible to start fighting without a word.
Getting used to it beforehand was just right.
"Alright, pay attention. After the battle erupts, don't be too hasty. I still need to collect the Four-Tails' Chakra."
Takemi's Chakra stirred slightly, and the two of them had already left Amenominaka.
Looking at the brightly lit ruins of Iwagakure in the distance, he gently shook his head.
"It's truly tragic. Fortunately, the next battle won't be here."
"Alright, I know."
The God Tree Clone pointed to its head.
"Don't forget, our minds are connected."
Takemi nodded. He slowly put on his mask, then his Chakra stirred slightly.
Buzz—
With the surge of Chakra, he instantly vanished from his spot, reappearing on a mountaintop.
He closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, they had transformed into a flowing starlight, like stars.
"Getting closer and closer, this is a good thing."
Takemi's eyes had locked onto Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, which made him nod.
In fact, before setting off, he had already scanned the entire Land of Earth with the giant Tenseigan on the moon, confirming Roshi's location. But he was moving, so Takemi naturally needed to confirm multiple times.
'It seems the battle in Iwagakure attracted him, which saves a lot of trouble.'
Thinking this, Takemi flashed again. At this moment, he was already floating in mid-air.
Watching the Four-Tails Jinchuriki constantly rushing towards Iwagakure, he slowly raised his hand, and in an instant, a Truth-Seeking Ball landed in his palm.
Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
Boom!
The massive storm propelled by the Truth-Seeking Ball instantly engulfed the entire valley.
In such a fierce storm, the towering valley became incredibly fragile. Countless large trees in the valley were instantly uprooted, and huge rocks were ripped away.
Immediately after, they were shredded. All things became fragile under the Chakra storm.
The continuous valley was shredded into dust at this moment.
Moreover, that powerful force was still constantly spreading, heading straight towards Roshi.
"The distance is just right."
Takemi glanced at the distance and nodded. He was very satisfied with his control over his power.
Just enough time to react, and just enough to be hit by the energy. Without any surprises, he would lose his combat ability. After all, he was there to capture him, not to kill him.
"Hmm?"
However, just as the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was roaring, Takemi suddenly froze.
He clearly saw that on the path of the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, space suddenly twisted. Immediately after, a masked figure suddenly flashed out of the space.
The next moment, his vast power had already heavily struck that figure.
"..."
The moonlight was enchanting, silver moonlight illuminating the earth. And in an open space among the mountains, Black Zetsu slowly emerged.
"Madara-sama, Obito, he has been found."
Black Zetsu looked at the two figures in front of him and spoke in a low voice.
"That guy isn't far from here and is heading towards Iwagakure. He might have noticed the changes happening in Iwagakure."
Madara and his group had caused such a commotion in Iwagakure that probably the entire Land of Earth could feel the energy fluctuations erupting there.
Of course, this wasn't Madara's sole contribution. Black Zetsu knew Takemi also played a part.
'It's just that, he actually managed to fuse Yin-Yang Release? Such talent...'
Black Zetsu praised in his heart, but at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh.
The Ninja World, in just a few short years, had become such a chaotic mess before his eyes. It also became increasingly unfamiliar, he understood it less and less.
"Found him? That's good."
Madara nodded. He had been waiting for a long time and was getting a bit annoyed.
Obito, however, asked, "How is Iwagakure? Do they show any signs of moving out?"
"Not yet. Everyone is busy with rescue and cleanup."
Black Zetsu reined in his thoughts, but he couldn't help but glance at Obito again. He felt that Obito was somewhat different.
