Ōtsutsuki Isshiki suddenly laughed.
The Sealing Cauldron instantly appeared in front of him.
"I really don't know where you got the confidence."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's voice came from behind his tattered sealing garment.
Kitahara Kaede gave a cold laugh.
He unleashed the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Facing the numerous Kitahara Kaedes, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki remained indifferent.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki watched Kitahara Kaede withdraw from the battle, but he did not pursue him.
Instead, he looked at the ground below, which was gradually
