Jigen's True Identity!

Shinki was once again astonished by the technology of the Shinobi World.

It's hard to imagine that an ordinary-looking pair of glasses could actually be a miniature projector!

The projected image was in a very dark place, and two men were standing in the image.

A figure dressed in a white robe, sitting in a chair with some strange device covering his abdomen, was none other than Jigen, who was 'charging'.

The other one stood opposite, dressed in a Black Robe and wearing a mask. Based on Shūichi's memories, Shinki recognized this person as Kashin Koji, one of the Naijin Member the Kara.

"What does this mean?" Shikamaru asked, pointing to the projected image with a puzzled look.

"I've said it before, I want to kill Jigen... and I'm doing it now." Amado looked at the screen, his expression clearly turning serious.

"Then what's going on with this footage? Did you specifically place Surveillance Camera cameras where they were fighting?" Sasuke continued to ask.

Amado shook his head. "No, this is the footage transmitted in real time by the Koji's psychic frog. What the Koji is about to do will prove that I genuinely want to betray the organization."

After Amado finished speaking, the glasses placed on the table made a sound!

The first to speak was Jigen, who sat calmly in his chair. "My Chakra was severely depleted in order to deal with the Shinki. Now is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for anyone who wants to deal with me."

"I've long suspected there was a mole within the organization. The accident that happened on the ship transporting the 'device' was also orchestrated by you and Amado, wasn't it?"

"Did they deliberately send the 'weapon' to Konoha because they thought that Hokage could create some kind of miracle?"

"Actually, I'm very curious, why did you and Amado rebel against me?"

"Obtaining the Chakra Fruit should be the common goal of all Naijin Members."

Jigen rattled off a long string of words, Amado on the other end didn't respond at all.

Jigen smiled helplessly, "That's right, you're just Artificial Human created by Amado, only able to obey the will set by Amado, a tool he uses..."

"What's there for us to talk about...?"

Kashin Koji had been silent all along, finally spoke, "Tools, isn't that the true essence of Ninja?"

After saying that, the Koji began to form hand seals. "Fire Style: Flame Bullet!"

"Whoosh--!"

Several fireballs were spat out from the Koji's mouth!

In response, Jigen, seated calmly, raised his hand and absorbed all of the Koji's Ninjutsu!

The flames had barely died down when the Koji spat out a mouthful of Toad Oil!

"Whoosh!"

Jigen, his face full of displeasure after being doused with Toad Oil, exclaimed, "This fighting style is truly annoying!"

Inside the Hokage's Office, after seeing the few techniques the Koji had used, Shinki's expression turned strange. "Why do all his Ninjutsu look so familiar?"

Amado didn't say anything, he just kept his eyes glued to the projection!

In the video, the Koji and Jigen are fighting back and forth!

At a certain moment, thanks to Jigen's special ability, the mask on the Koji's face began to shrink!

Amado, in the Hokage's Office, explained, "This is Jigen... or rather, Isshiki's ability— 'Sukunahikona'!"

"It can shrink all objects and be activated visually!"

"It is worth noting that this technique cannot shrink other life forms besides the Isshiki."

Shinki frowned and asked, "What is the 'Isshiki' you just mentioned? What is its connection to Jigen?"

Just then, the Communication Frog went black due to the battle between the Koji and Jigen.

Amado seized the opportunity to explain, "Right now, controlling Jigen is the Isshiki, the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!"

Naruto scratched his head, clearly still a little confused. "Ōtsutsuki? Jigen? Could you explain in more detail?"

Amado was wearing handcuffs, felt his throat was a little dry and asked Shinki for a cup of coffee...

Shinki casually poured Amado a glass of water. "There's no coffee, have this."

Seeing that the water was personally collected by the Shinki, Amado didn't say anything more. After gulping it all down, he asked mysteriously, "Do you know anything about the Ōtsutsuki race?"

Do you know what they're going to do?

Shinki pondered for a moment, "I don't know the origin of the Ōtsutsuki, but their entire race seems to aspire to become immortals..."

Amado: "Momoshiki told you, didn't he?"

Shinki remained noncommittal, Amado continued, "The Ōtsutsuki are an alien race, born with immense power, obsessed with consuming the God Tree Fruit to evolve into gods, with their primary goal being to plant the God Tree on other planets and harvest its fruits."

"As for the fate of the planets where the God Tree once grew, everyone knows that all life on those planets was drained by the God Tree and condensed into a tiny fruit."

Naruto: "You still haven't explained the Isshiki clearly?"

Amado: "Don't rush, let me explain slowly. (||๐_๐)"

"As far as I know, there are always two Ōtsutsuki members who go to each planet to collect the Devil Fruits."

"Speaking of which, some clever ones should have already noticed the clue... That's right! Why was Kaguya, who descended upon the Shinobi World thousands of years ago, always alone?"

"The truth has long been buried by the dust of history; Isshiki was the one who came to this world with Kaguya!"

"Later, for reasons unknown, Kaguya attacked Isshiki."

"At that time, Yi Shi was Isshiki injured and on the verge of death. He happened to encounter a passing monk, and his survival instinct caused him to possess that person's body. That person is now Jigen."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the Ōtsutsuki Clan are beings who transcend death. The 'Karma' is the reason they can live for endless years even in the face of danger."

"They can digitize themselves and replicate themselves into others. The person whose data is implanted will have a black Diamond Mark on their body, which is a 'wedge'. The person who carries the 'wedge' is the 'vessel'."

"The 'wedge' will slowly thaw over time after being branded. When the thawing process is complete, the Ōtsutsuki will be resurrected..."

"A tool?" Shinki thought of the Shūichi.

Upon hearing Shinki's words, Amado instantly understood his meaning and nodded, saying, "That's right, Shūichi is also one of the vessels of the Isshiki."

Shinki continued, "So, Isshiki's parasitism on Jigen also relies on the wedge?"

Amado shook his head. "No, Jigen was critically injured and dying after being attacked by Kaguya, so he didn't have the ability to imprint the 'Karma' mark at all. He used another method, which is the 'Sukunahikona' that I mentioned to you earlier."

"He shrunk his body and entered Jigen's body through his ear, surviving by parasitizing him and absorbing his nutrients. He then took control of Jigen's brain and gained control of Jigen's body."

"The 'wedge' on Jigen's face that you see now was imprinted Isshiki after that."

"However, compared to the Isshiki, the Jigen is not a perfect vessel."

"His body is too fragile; it simply cannot withstand the immense Chakra of the Ōtsutsuki."

"Therefore, even though the wedge within Jigen's body has now completely thawed, Isshiki still refuses to rely on Jigen's body to complete his resurrection, instead choosing to collect other containers."

"He's the one who found the Shūichi; it's a pretty good vessel."
