Ōtsutsuki Isshiki: Shimura Danzō, I...

The Ōtsutsuki Isshiki controlling Jigen reacted instantly.

"Damn you, Kaguya, you bitch!"

He threw the documents directly to the ground, his face twisted with unparalleled fury.

"Unbelievable... I never imagined that a mere native of the Ninja World, a lowly creature with only a trace of Divine Tree bloodline, would stumble into awakening the most primal power of the Divine Tree. How could this be... how could this possibly be..."

Jigen clasped his hands behind his back, pacing incessantly within the temple, his expression a mix of unease and bewilderment.

Unlike others in the Ninja World, as a powerhouse of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, once he pieced it together, he understood that destroying the entire world by himself—this man named Uchiha Yue—might genuinely be capable of it.

Unlimited absorption of a planet's energy, allowing oneself to grow endlessly—wasn't that the Divine Tree's core ability?

It was precisely by relying on this ability, continuously draining the life energy of one planet after another to produce Chakra Fruits, that the Ōtsutsuki Clan had evolved from an ordinary race into a formidable clan that roamed the cosmos.

Such a terrifying power had always belonged exclusively to the Divine Tree. This energy absorption, capable of covering an entire planet with seemingly no cost, a constant passive ability—even within the Ōtsutsuki Clan, it was unprecedented.

And now, to think it had appeared on this damned planet.

"How can this be! I haven't been revived yet! I haven't taken my revenge! How could I die at the hands of some mere Ninja World native! Damn you, Kaguya, damn you all..."

At this thought, even the ever-composed, elegant Ōtsutsuki Isshiki couldn't help but curse, seething with rage. He had never imagined that his carefully laid plans—hiding here all these years, patiently using Natural Energy to strengthen the Karma, quietly building an organization, searching for vessels, everything proceeding methodically—would come to this.

He had only just begun to see some progress. At such a critical moment, these natives of the Ninja World had pulled off this massive stunt, birthing a monster wielding the Divine Tree's core ability!

This was something theoretically possible but practically impossible, yet it had actually happened to him. The probability was like a Branch Family member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who had been docile and resigned to death for millennia, suddenly committing the ultimate treason by attacking a Main Family member.

Such an astronomically low probability event had actually befallen him. Was he some sort of heaven-forsaken child? Why did every misfortune land on his lap?

"Shimura Danzō!! I'll fuck your mother!!!"

The moment he thought about being killed in the near future by this native who had awakened the Divine Tree's primal power, he recalled the root cause of it all from the reports—merely that idiot named Shimura Danzō had wanted to wipe out the Uchiha Clan.

If that fool Danzō hadn't moved against the Uchiha back then, if Uchiha Yue hadn't been provoked, Uchiha Yue wouldn't even have awakened in the first place!

After all, according to the investigation, before awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Yue was just an ordinary person who couldn't even beat a genin. Anyone with a kunai could have stabbed him to death.

Thinking that he might die on this planet for such a ridiculous reason, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki felt like he had eaten dog shit—as if a global nuclear war had started just because someone, while trying to order a cola, accidentally pressed the nuclear launch button. It was utterly absurd and infuriating.

"No, no, impossible. A mere Ninja World native, even with a trace of Divine Tree bloodline—how could he truly awaken its core ability? Impossible, absolutely impossible! I have to go see what this Uchiha Yue is really about!"

With that thought, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki immediately rushed toward the Land of Fire. He had lost his composure. On one hand, he despised the lowly native who had awakened the Divine Tree's primal power, turning into a human-shaped Divine Tree. On the other, if it truly was the Divine Tree's core ability, once that monster grew strong enough, he too would die.

Dying at Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's hands was already unacceptable—a mere Branch Family member daring to strike against a Main Family member, utterly reckless—but dying at the hands of a Ninja World native was even more humiliating.

Just as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was rushing toward Uchiha Yue's location, Tsunade arrived at the edge of that Dead Silence Domain.

"So this is... Uchiha Yue's power?"

Tsunade stood quietly with a group of ninjas at the edge of this blurred domain, as if covered by a layer of frosted glass. The next moment, she reached her hand inside, and her expression shifted—the chakra within her body began to drain uncontrollably.

Then, Tsunade decided to enter and see for herself. A rope was tied around her, with the other end held firmly in Shizune's hands.

"Tsunade-sama, are you really going in?"

Shizune looked at Tsunade with concern. She didn't understand what good entering would do. Hadn't Lord Jiraiya's condition already shown them how dangerous this Dead Silence Domain was?

Hearing this, Tsunade simply shook her head.

"Shizune, if you see me collapse or sense something wrong, pull me out."

Tsunade gave her instructions, then turned her gaze to the Dead Silence Domain. Unlike Jiraiya, after thoroughly understanding some of the domain's characteristics, she had prepared a countermeasure.

In truth, ensuring one's survival upon entering this domain was simple—just tie a rope around yourself. After all, the domain only absorbed energy and didn't actively attack. If you couldn't move anymore, someone outside could pull you out.

The reason Jiraiya ended up like that was because he hadn't known in advance, overestimated himself, and rushed in without any preparation. If he had tied a rope around himself back then, he wouldn't have ended up in his current state.

Soon, Tsunade stepped into the Dead Silence Domain. The power within her began to drain uncontrollably. After walking a certain distance, she was completely certain—as long as this domain existed, they would never be able to reach Uchiha Yue. Forget about persuading him or awakening the Will of Fire in his heart.

Even just surviving long enough to reach Uchiha Yue's side before dying was already the mark of a top-tier elite.
