Absolutely Impossible to Kill

The chakra within Uchiha Yue was toxic—to any sentient being, it was nothing short of lethal poison. After devouring Uchiha Yue's chakra, he found that he was completely unable to digest it. On the contrary, this chakra acted like a living thing; the moment it entered his body, it began to erode and assimilate his own chakra. If he didn't deal with it immediately and let it remain in his system, he might be hollowed out by this energy and reduced to an empty husk.

"What on earth... are you?"

Incredible growth potential, immortality that seemed to have no limits, and this bizarre, active chakra—is this thing really a creature that could appear in the Ninja World? Is this really a lifeform that could be born on this pathetic little ball of dirt called the Ninja World?

Even his own Ōtsutsuki Clan possessed no such eerie, evil-defying abilities. A monster—even an existence as proud as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had to admit that the guy in front of him was an out-and-out monster! A demon!

If not for that pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, and if not for Uchiha Yue's human form, he would have suspected that this wasn't a creature of the Ninja World at all, but some horrific, bizarre, and unimaginable alien lifeform from the depths of the universe.

"Me? Hahaha! I am, of course... a human! Come! Didn't you want to devour my power? Hahaha! Come! Come! Since you want to devour, then I'll give you all of my power! Hahaha!!!"

Uchiha Yue stood up slowly, opening his arms to embrace the world. The next moment, the chakra on his body surged wildly like a tidal wave. The original dark blue chakra transformed instantly, turning into a scorching, constantly leaping energy that emitted sharp, crackling explosions.

In the next instant, Uchiha Yue's figure flashed, appearing before Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and he slammed a fist down toward him.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki raised his hand, and the two clashed fists once more. If this had happened before, that punch would have caused Uchiha Yue's arm to explode instantly, and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki would have seized the opportunity to strike him down and crush his head. However, this time...

The layer of chakra on Uchiha Yue's skin began to compress the moment it touched Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's fist, and then...

BOOM!

A violent explosion rang out, and a small mushroom cloud rose slowly, breaking through the constraints of the Dead Silence Domain.

Following the rise of this mushroom cloud, the ninjas dispatched by various Ninja Villages to monitor and observe the Dead Silence Domain from distant mountaintops finally realized something was wrong—no, they had already realized something was wrong just a moment ago.

For so many days, the Dead Silence Domain had not moved a single inch, only ever-expanding, but suddenly it had begun to shift. This made them incredibly nervous; after all, even though he was called a natural disaster, Uchiha Yue was still a living person.

Such a massive Dead Silence Domain, if it started moving, could destroy any nation it happened to wander into.

But after observing it for a while, they saw the domain swaying irregularly from side to side, as if someone were tossing and turning in bed while sleeping, which made them breathe a slight sigh of relief.

It went back to the same point: Uchiha Yue was a living person. Perhaps he had just been sitting still for too long and felt tired, wanting to move around a bit?

But now, they finally realized that there was no "tired and wanting to walk around." With such a commotion, it seemed like a battle was taking place inside!

"My god, what kind of powerhouse could withstand that terrifying absorption ability and enter the domain to fight Uchiha Yue!"

On a mountaintop in the distance, a ninja from Iwagakure watched the slowly rising mushroom cloud in shock. They immediately began contacting their village to report what was happening.

Other Ninja Villages took similar actions, and some ninjas even went directly to the edge of the Dead Silence Domain, intending to see what was going on. Unfortunately, even though an incredibly intense battle was raging inside, from the outside, it appeared deathly still and calm. One could barely see anything at the very edge.

Once one looked deeper, all that could be seen was a profound, endless darkness.

If not for that mushroom cloud, they wouldn't even have known a battle had occurred inside.

Inside the Dead Silence Domain.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki stood amidst the ruins. From the first time Uchiha Yue died until now, he had finally been injured!

Drip!

A drop of blood fell to the ground. He looked at his hand; it was a bloody mess, his finger bones shattered into a pulp. On the surface, it might have looked like nothing, but in reality, it had been reduced to mush.

"Truly powerful! But, how much longer can you keep up this kind of power?"

Uchiha Yue's figure walked slowly out of the smoke and dust, grinning. The next moment, he charged forward again.

"Monster!"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki stepped back and took flight. Immediately after, a barrage of Chakra Black Rods rained down like a storm, piercing Uchiha Yue until he looked like a hedgehog.

However, these black rods made of chakra only caused puncture wounds; Uchiha Yue's body began to rapidly absorb the chakra that composed them.

Next, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki exhausted all his techniques, even pushing his power to the current limit he could achieve, completely sealing Uchiha Yue. Yet, within seconds, Uchiha Yue devoured the chakra that formed the sealing jutsu and crawled out.

He couldn't be killed! He couldn't be sealed!

A monster! A true monster!

At this moment, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki felt completely numb. Everything happening now was entirely different from what he had imagined. In his original plan, Uchiha Yue should have been killed by now, his eyes stolen and transplanted into the body of Jigen.

Yet, ninety seconds had already passed, and he still hadn't killed Uchiha Yue or taken those eyes.

It wasn't that he couldn't kill Uchiha Yue; it was that Uchiha Yue simply wouldn't stay dead!

Such terrifying immortality was something even their Ōtsutsuki Clan didn't possess! Before their clan devoured the fruit of the Divine Tree and merged with it, if someone like him had been cut in half, he would have died. If he hadn't encountered Jigen back then, he would have perished.

Even to be resurrected, one needed a suitable vessel and the planting of a Karma. But Uchiha Yue?

He didn't need any conditions; he just resurrected, as simple as that.

After these few dozen seconds of fighting, he had largely figured out Uchiha Yue's specific abilities: a...
