He himself had not suffered any injuries either.
Kitahara Kaede admitted that Tsukikawa Isshiki was formidable. Perhaps the other man had held back.
But Kitahara Kaede felt that he had already found a way to break the deadlock.
How could he not explore it while moving forward?
After all, Kitahara Kaede had already felt out part of the path.
Of course he had to try it.
Besides, the Ten-Tails was inside him anyway.
If anything went wrong, the Ten-Tails would definitely be able to tell.
"I think I need to give it a try."
Kitahara Kaede made it clear to the Ten-Tails that he was standing by his decision.
"Impossible. You're completely courting death."
The Ten-Tails firmly refused as well.
"Then I'll go find Tsukikawa Isshiki and discuss working together."
Since the Ten-Tails would not agree to help him,
Kitahara Kaede simply switched to another target.
Yet that simple provocation only earned him the Ten-Tails' mocking laughter.
"Tell me, do you even know where Tsukikawa Isshiki is? You probably can't even find him! 13"
"How do you know I can't find him?"
Kitahara's voice brimmed with confidence.
Naturally, it was all an act for the Ten-Tails.
As for Tsukikawa Isshiki's whereabouts, he truly could not find them.
"Then go ahead. He can indeed help you, as long as you don't bother me."
The Ten-Tails still held firm to its stance.
It did not want Kitahara Kaede to take risks.
Kitahara Kaede had no choice either.
If he could condense that pale golden energy himself,
he could simply hand it over to Orochimaru for research.
But Kitahara Kaede did not have that kind of strength yet.
He could only ask the Ten-Tails for help.
Unfortunately, who knew what this fellow was plotting.
It refused no matter what.
Perhaps it was worried
