As Hagoromo spoke, she placed her other hand directly on Jigen's head.
"Since you're unwilling to come out, then I'll just strip you off directly."
"Ah--!"
Jigen let out a shrill scream. This sound was not the one he had just spoken; it sounded more like the struggle of an old, frail being.
After all, this body is over a thousand years old; it wouldn't have survived this long if it weren't for the power of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
Black wedge-shaped markings kept appearing beneath his skin as Jigen struggled violently, trying to break free in this way.
"It's useless."
Hagoromo, who had been gripping Jigen's fist, pointed it towards Jigen's heart. "Your wedge is essentially a parasite of information, and information can be overwritten."
A white light began to slowly pour in.
Amidst Jigen's screams, a second voice emerged, filled with fear and resentment, "Save me!"
Is this the real Jigen?
Hagoromo ignored her. Even if it really Jigen, so what?
Is he trying to get rid of it in this way?
He's not some naive and innocent girl.
"You really are cold-blooded and ruthless." Jigen's voice returned to its previous tone as soon as he finished speaking.
Black wedge-shaped markings appeared on Jigen's body, then peeled off from behind Jigen and transformed into a beam of black light that shot deeper into the distance.
With a light tap of Hagoromo finger, Yu Yi sealed Jigen's body. A figure from a thousand years ago, he was of some value.
He then looked at the spot where the black light had just disappeared, where a body suddenly stood up, Isshiki voice came from it, weak but full of manic laughter.
"Hahaha... you can't kill me! As long as I'm conscious, I can kill you countless times..."
"Idiot--"
With Hagoromo Yi arrived directly before the body. "It was Princess Kaguya who ambushed and severely injured you, yet you used the 'White Zetsu' she created."
"Laughable, yet pathetic."
He Isshiki flew into a rage; anything could be said about her, except for Princess Kaguya!
"You're nothing but her vessel! How dare you be so arrogant!" Isshiki roared, "Daikokuten - Infinite Seal!"
It seems that White Zetsu's body allows Isshiki to unleash his full power, and countless black cubes instantly appear all around, each a small piece of a different dimension that has been cut out.
Once it appears, it begins to stack and nest wildly, constantly dragging the entire area into an ever-folding space.
Hagoromo just a glance, Yu Yi knew what Isshiki Shi was about to do.
They wanted to operate within their own rules and space, so that he could unleash his remaining power.
Hagoromo raised her hand and swung it sharply forward, "Zeroing."
Bang--
Countless cracks instantly appeared on all the black cubes, and then they were erased from existence as if wiped away by an eraser.
Naruto and Tobirama, among others, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Hagoromo, teacher... this strength is a bit abnormal.
Tobirama is the most speechless. So, Hagoromo already had this level of strength before fighting Madara Uchiha?
Isn't that just toying with Madara Uchiha?
If Madara Uchiha knew, he might just come back from the Pure Land to kill them.
Isshiki's eyes widened, then he let out a muffled groan, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Impossible! You're just a vessel, how could you possibly change the rules of reality..."
Isshiki was filled with disbelief. The fact that a vessel could unleash half of Otsutsuki Kaguya's power was enough to praise the vessel's exceptional talent.
However, the Hagoromo before them were clearly more than just that.
"That bitch Otsutsuki Kaguya! How does she have such good luck!"
Isshiki let out a shrill scream that was a mixture of mournful cries and maniacal laughter, "You think I, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, will die like this? Haha, impossible!"
Isshiki's entire body was engulfed in a frenzied flame, roaring, "Even if I die, I'll drag you, this vessel, down with me! I'll make Otsutsuki Kaguya die with me!"
"Complete Reincarnation!"
Hagoromo stopped what she was doing; she was desperate and had to resort to desperate measures.
What he wanted was for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to make this choice, and the Karma automatically entered the Reincarnation state, thus reviving Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
However, the consequence of this is that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki cannot rely on perfect transformation, and the White Zetsu's body can only allow Isshiki to survive for less than a day at most.
He is even inferior to Jigen.
At the very least, Jigen's body, after so many years of nurturing, still retains a certain vitality.
"Kaguya's vessel! Listen up!" From within the black flames, Isshiki's voice was filled with endless resentment, "You can never erase me as I am now!"
Then the black flames suddenly contracted, and White Zetsu's body emitted a horrifying scream.
The black marks covering his entire body began to surge wildly, then contracted back to the location of his heart, and White Zetsu's body also began to undergo drastic changes.
The bones stretched, and the skin became even paler than before, almost transparent. A small horn slowly pierced through the skin on the forehead and grew out, a sign of the Complete Reincarnation of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
White Zetsu's body underwent endless cycles of collapse and rebirth during this process.
Hagoromo watched quietly, and he understood why Complete Reincarnation had allowed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to survive for such a short time.
The body broke down and recovered countless times during this process, and was close to its limit. In the original work, it was simply burned to a crisp by the Samadhi True Fire, so this process was omitted.
Or rather, the body is no longer able to reproduce this process.
"Ahhh--!"
The newly formed Isshiki roared and let out a sound.
The next instant, Isshiki's eyes snapped open, revealing a golden wheel-shaped pattern in his right eye and the Byakugan of his left eye.
He looked at Hagoromo and the figures of Naruto and the others behind him.
Newborn, he was filled with murderous intent... and hunger.
I need Chakra, I need life energy!
At this Isshiki, only this thought occupied his mind. His body could not sustain his activity for long; all he felt was the instinct to devour everything.
"Roar--!"
With Isshiki wild roar, he charged toward where Hagoromo was.
Hagoromo raised her right hand, and a Black Receiver formed, which she then shot out fiercely.
Isshiki's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively raised his right hand to block. A black substance, similar to keratin, instantly appeared on his arm.
"Like..."
Naruto watched Isshiki's movements and murmured something.
It seems the teacher is Yang Release Armament.
However, it wasn't a dark gray, but pure black.
Sasuke frowned, his Sharingan fixed on Isshiki's right eye, an eye that evoked a sense of longing in him.
A deep-seated longing.
Sizzle--!
The Black Receiver pierced through Isshiki's stratum corneum and sank deep into Isshiki's shoulder.
If it were a simple Yin-Yang Release technique, it wouldn't be able to be detected. However, Hagoromo now possesses the Six Paths Power.
For him, Truth-Seeking Orb was something he could do casually.
