Cuckoo's Nesting Strategy

Bai Yang never imagined that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who had just sought cooperation with him, would attack him for no reason the next moment. His Spirit Body projection in the Mind World instantly appeared before Bai Yang, and an iron-clamp-like right hand directly locked Bai Yang's neck, slowly lifting him into the air.

At this moment, Bai Yang understood that even a 'Spirit Body' could feel suffocated...

He frantically pried at Isshiki's right hand with both of his own, trying to pry it open from his neck, his feet also weakly kicking back and forth against the latter's body...

"Ant!"

Isshiki stared cautiously at Bai Yang with his Heterochromatic Eyes, observing his entire Spirit Body, afraid that he might have some means of retaliation similar to dying together. But after waiting for a moment, he realized that the foreign Spirit Body before him was truly just an ant that could be killed at will!

Upon realizing this fact, Isshiki instinctively believed that Bai Yang posed no threat to him, even though he was currently in the weakest state of his life.

Although Isshiki didn't know why Bai Yang, this foreign Spirit Body, had suddenly appeared within his body, he only needed to know that Bai Yang was no threat to him and was a weak existence that could be crushed at will.

Just a foreign Spirit Body like an ant; annihilating him was just a matter of flicking a finger!

Thinking this, Isshiki increased the strength in his hand, making Bai Yang even more painful, his limbs flailing and kicking chaotically...

"Die! Ant!"

Isshiki didn't have time to waste on Bai Yang. He needed to get rid of Bai Yang immediately, and then slowly recuperate within his vessel's body...

"No—!"

Bai Yang felt Isshiki's killing intent, and he let out a low, hoarse sound of unwillingness. He had only just arrived in the Naruto World, how could he die so easily!

Infinite desire for survival suddenly rose in his heart, and obsession grew wildly in his mind...

"Just the impotent rage of the weak!"

Isshiki was clearly surprised that Bai Yang's Spirit Body could still persist and had such a strong will to survive, but it could only go so far!

Isshiki didn't want to waste too much time on Bai Yang...

Thinking this, Isshiki used more force with his right hand!

The sound of a neck breaking rang out as Bai Yang's neck was snapped by Isshiki.

Even if a Spirit Body had its neck twisted or its heart pierced, it still wouldn't die, it would only damage the Spirit Body. Isshiki naturally knew this, so his right hand didn't release Bai Yang's neck...

"...Become fertilizer for my Spirit Body!"

Isshiki said ferociously to Bai Yang, then stared intently at Bai Yang with his Heterochromatic Eyes. Dōjutsu Power aimed at the Spirit Body instantly poured into Bai Yang's Spirit Body, causing his Spirit Body to instantly become illusory, looking like colorful bubbles.

The next moment, Isshiki lightly squeezed his right hand again, and Bai Yang's Spirit Body shattered instantly like fragile bubbles, turning into twinkling fragments of Spirit Body that lingered around Isshiki.

Then, with the pull of Isshiki's Spirit Body, these fragments of Spirit Body lingering around him plunged into his Spirit Body in one go.

Just as Isshiki had said, he was going to devour all of Bai Yang's Spirit Body in order to strengthen his own Spirit Body...

In fact, in Isshiki's perception, Bai Yang's Spirit Body was very solid, and its strength was no weaker than his own. With such an excellent Spirit Body as nourishment, it would definitely allow Isshiki's Spirit Body to take a step further, and by then, he could more easily step into a higher level...

"Wh-what's going on?"

Bai Yang's Spirit Body fragments should have been devoured and fused by Isshiki's Spirit Body in an orderly manner, but an accident occurred. Those Spirit Body fragments that entered Isshiki's Spirit Body were not absorbed immediately, but instead began to gather and fuse strangely, and began to devour him within his Spirit Body in an unbelievable way!

"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Bai Yang's will was transmitted to Isshiki's mind through the Spirit Body, making Isshiki both shocked and angry!

He was shocked that Bai Yang still had conscious obsession remaining even after his Spirit Body had shattered!

He was angry that an ant like Bai Yang dared to provoke the majesty of his Ōtsutsuki Clan!!!

"How can an ant swallow an elephant?"

Isshiki laughed in anger, and Dōjutsu Power poured into his body from his eyes without restraint, completely destroying most of Bai Yang's soul fragments, turning them into pure soul power that merged into Isshiki's Spirit Body.

"Then I'll swallow... and show you!"

Bai Yang's will was transmitted to Isshiki's mind again, and his remaining soul fragments began to fuse at an accelerated rate, and while fusing, they also devoured parts of Isshiki's Spirit Body, like using war to support war!

Isshiki believed that Bai Yang could not possibly survive under his Dōjutsu Power, so he was not afraid at all and engaged in a tug-of-war of mutual Spirit Body devouring with Bai Yang. At the beginning, Isshiki did indeed have the upper hand, and Bai Yang's Spirit Body fragments were basically destroyed by eighty or ninety percent, with only ten or twenty percent desperately resisting!

But as time went by, Bai Yang in desperation actually relied on his amazing will of survival to resist Isshiki's Dōjutsu Power kill, and began to fight back.

For a time, the advantages and disadvantages were exchanged!

"Impossible!"

"This...no, impossible!"

After a long time, emotions such as fear and dread rose in Isshiki's heart, because he found that the Bai Yang Spirit Body fused in his body seemed to have become immune to his Dōjutsu Power, making his Dōjutsu Power feel like tickling when it landed on him, which made it even more impossible for Isshiki to stop Bai Yang from devouring his Spirit Body!

"Ōtsutsuki Isshiki... are you also afraid of death?"

Bai Yang seemed to feel Isshiki's fear and dread, and he accelerated the fusion of his Spirit Body and the devouring of Isshiki's Spirit Body even more.

This scene made Isshiki feel even more despair, because if this continued, he would really die!

"Wait! Wait..."

Isshiki was really scared. He had not yet completed the final evolution in the universe, had not yet become the 'god' of his dreams, he... did not want to die!

Bai Yang's Spirit Body was not complete at this time, and his consciousness was only supported by his will to survive, so he ignored Isshiki's pleas for mercy and continued to fuse and devour on his own!

In fact, even if Bai Yang's Spirit Body was complete and had normal thoughts and consciousness, he would definitely not spare Isshiki, after all, the surname Ōtsutsuki represented his nature...

The farmer and the snake is not just a story!

As Bai Yang devoured more, his devouring speed increased, which meant the countdown to Isshiki's death was getting shorter and shorter!

"No—!"

In the end, Isshiki let out a cry of unwillingness before his death, just like the words Bai Yang had previously used to mock him. The sound was simply like the 'incompetent barking of the weak.'

How laughable.

How sad.

Who can really say what the relationship between hunter and prey is?

The moment Isshiki died, it also meant that Bai Yang had successfully devoured Isshiki's Spirit Body and established a connection between this Mind World and the body outside.

In other words, Bai Yang had officially replaced Isshiki at this time, becoming the Spirit Body of this Ōtsutsuki body, completing a 'feat' of 'Cuckoo's Nesting Strategy'!
