If they had encountered each other earlier, Isshiki would have already fled in panic.
He already felt pressured dealing with Kyosuke and the other two, let alone Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's child.
Of Isshiki, Isshiki was aware of the existence of the Sage of Six Paths. Black Zetsu was the manipulator of the history of the Shinobi World, and wasn't he also a witness hiding in the shadows?
Kaguya's two children inherited about 70% of the Ōtsutsuki's abilities, therefore, he absolutely cannot show himself before his body recovers.
Unfortunately, he had already completed the Reincarnation Ritual, and the other party probably only found him by sensing the vast Chakra fluctuations.
"What a pity." His gaze swept over those purple eyes, and he said Isshiki interest, "Interesting, this is the legendary Sage's Eye, the ultimate evolution of the Sharingan."
"Let me see just what kind of power it possesses."
Hagoromo didn't say a word from beginning to end. The two sides were hostile to each other, and there was absolutely no possibility of reconciliation. Since that was the case, why waste words?
Just fight.
Facing the enemy's kick, Hagoromo remained calm, his Truth-Seeking Orb transforming into a long spear in his hand.
Seeking the Way· Amenonuhoko!
This is a weapon even more powerful than the Sage's Staff, requiring a powerful individual who has condensed the Yin–Yang Power to wield it. Even Kaguya, who has truly reached the Divine Fire Level, would not easily allow herself to be touched by it.
It's indestructible, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
Both sides exerted all their strength in a head-on clash, and the violent shockwave caused the clouds to churn, the earth to crack, and the climate of the entire Planet to be affected.
The place where Isshiki was hiding was a habitable Planet smaller than the moon. Such a fragile environment might not be able to withstand the aftershocks of their battle.
Feeling the surging force coming from in front of him, Hagoromo's eyes remained unchanged, but her heart suddenly sank.
His strength was inferior to his opponent's.
Ultimately, this is not his own body, and it is already remarkable that he can unleash the power of Six Paths High Tier.
He could dominate the Shinobi World without any problem; however, he was still at least two levels below his enemies.
"This is troublesome," Hagoromo a bit of a headache.
The process of condensing the Senjutsu Fruit is nearing its final stage.
Even so, it will still take several decades.
To the Sage of Six Paths, who has lived for thousands of years, a few decades is but a fleeting moment, and not enough to resolve the immediate crisis.
To ignite the Divine Flame by consuming the fruit, one must wait for it to completely transform; even a second too early could cause thousands of years of planning to fail.
"If it doesn't work out, let's retreat."
"Even if the enemy destroys the Shinobi World, it doesn't matter. As long as they can't find the entrance to Shikkotsu Forest, they will ultimately be unable to harm the hidden Ninja Sect."
"Once I step into the Divine Flame, I will be able to absorb the departed souls and find another suitable place to live to revive them."
In a daze, the Sage of Six Paths actually had the idea of abandoning the Shinobi World.
This is completely contrary to his unwavering belief over thousands of years.
Fortunately, Hagoromo quickly came to her senses and, while defending against the enemy's attacks, silently blamed herself in her heart.
"How could I have such a thought?!"
"Perhaps the strength of the enemy put too much pressure on me."
Seeing the enemy disappear again, Hagoromo wielded the Amenonuhoko like a whirlwind, giving the enemy no chance to get close.
With the power of his Rinnegan, he can clearly detect enemies that even the Eternal Sharingan cannot perceive.
Maybe...
Before the thought could even form in his mind, several suddenly enlarged Black Rods pierced through Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's body.
"You were too careless." Isshiki casually wiped his hands, seemingly enjoying the battle before him.
"If I focus too much on my movements, I might overlook the risks around me."
"They are even smaller, and can even pierce the skin without alerting anyone. Who would be wary of touching dust?"
That being said, it is clear to Isshiki that his abilities still have shortcomings.
It works fine for the neglected body and torso, but once you target the brain and heart, it will immediately trigger a strong instinctive reaction.
Even the slightest sting is unacceptable.
Just like an ordinary person who frequently bumps and scrapes their legs and feet, but rarely anything can harm their eyes.
This is due to the difference in the level of importance attached to something; the stronger the opponent, the more difficult it is to accurately hit the vital point.
The enemy must be incredibly powerful to have forced him to use his Dojutsu. Rather than missing the opportunity, it's better to choose a more reliable fighting method.
Therefore, most of the attacks in Isshiki technique target the human torso. Once the enemy's mobility is restricted, the subsequent methods of torture become less of a problem.
This is the difference in combat experience, and it's the main reason why the Sage of Six Paths was so moved.
The enemy he faced seemed even more formidable than Kaguya, who possessed Divine Fire Level power.
There's no other way.
A blue light shot into the sky, and the Perfect Susanoo size was almost the same as the Ten-Tails, descended into the world.
The Susanoo of the other people is basically not much different from that of the nine Tailed Beasts, about the width of the Ten-Tails' palm.
The gap between the two sides is obvious.
"Oh, so this is what you look like when you're serious." Looking up at the towering giant that pierced the clouds, Isshiki shook his head, realizing that the enemy's actions were nothing more than a blind delaying tactic.
How could such a clumsy attack possibly hit him?
Just as he was about to dodge, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's expression suddenly changed drastically.
In the void before him, a purple talisman was emitting a soft glow.
Immortal's Talisman - Imprisonment!
The Sage's Talisman - Healing is a treasure of Mount Myōboku. The Sage of Six Paths used this item to revive his younger brother, Hamura, who had been controlled by his mother and then killed by him.
Its effects are so powerful that they are in no way inferior to the resurrection power of the Rinnegan.
The existence of items like the Box of Bliss and the Red Gourd suggests that crafting ninja tools was one of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' few hobbies.
Given the immense power of the sacred talismans of Mount Myōboku, how could he not study them?
Over thousands of years, he developed many immortal talismans with different functions.
This Sage Talisman has a binding effect, which means it can seal off a certain area of space, specifically designed to deal with agile enemies.
"Prepare to die!" The god-like Susanoo slashed down with his sword.
The mere swing of the sword caused the entire Planet's atmosphere to churn, and the dark, heavy clouds were split open with a clear dividing line.
Boom!
As the blade fell, the asteroid emitted mournful cries of unbearable pressure.
The once relatively quiet ground now bears the shocking sight of a massive crater, tens of thousands of meters deep.
Lava erupted, and gales howled, creating a terrifying scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.
The Perfect Susanoo stood silently in the void, while the Sage of Six Paths searched for traces of the enemy with his gaze, completely indifferent to the life and death of this strange Planet.
At worst, the two can just fight on another battlefield.
"Hiding and not coming out?" Hagoromo thought for a moment, then condensed a second immortal talisman. This time, it was slightly different; it was entirely crimson, like a flame.
With a snap, he clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and the light of the Sage Talisman suddenly shone brightly, with cracks quickly appearing on the surface of the entire Planet.
Immortal's Talisman - Explosion!
"If you don't come out, then you'll never have to come out."
Burst!
As the immense Senjutsu within the talisman erupted, the asteroid that had carried the two in battle ended its life with a deafening roar.
Even Perfect Susanoo, as powerful as a god, could not withstand the impact of Planet exploding.
Surrounded by blue energy, the Sage of Six Paths retreated thousands of miles before slowly coming to a stop.
He carefully sensed the energy fluctuations around him, even using his soul-based abilities, but he still couldn't find any trace of the enemy.
Is he dead?
"No, an enemy that even my mother fears cannot die so easily."
"They must have used the cover of the Planet explosion to break through the confinement spell and escape using their spatial abilities."
After a moment's thought, the Sage of Six Paths took out a third Sage Talisman from his robes, the effect of which was to lock onto Chakra fluctuations from countless light-years away.
As long as the enemy dares to move, they will not be able to escape his lock.
On the other side, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, covered in blood, fell awkwardly from the Space Passage.
Cough cough... He uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood, struggled to his feet, and flew with difficulty toward the strange building in front of him.
He never imagined that Kaguya's child could be so terrifyingly strong.
"Miscalculation."
"But it doesn't matter. A body of Divine Fire Level is incredibly resilient. Even if I haven't fully ignited yet, I won't die from a mere planetary explosion."
He quickly flew to the top of the building, and as soon as he stopped, a loud roar came from inside.
"Long time no see." A faint smile appeared on Isshiki's lips.
Below him, a monster with ten tails was roaring to the sky.
This is the seed of the God Tree, the tool used to create the Chakra Fruit, the Ten-Tails.
"Stop yelling, aren't you tired of all this noise?" Isshiki slowly descended from the sky.
With his arrival, the Ten-Tails became increasingly restless, knowing that this guy was preparing to absorb its Chakra.
The Ōtsutsuki Main Family possesses a perfect manufacturing process that allows them to extract and refine Chakra, creating wondrous creatures capable of absorbing Chakra.
From the moment they were born, their mission was to absorb Chakra and transform it into edible fruit.
As for resistance... with the seal of the Ōtsutsuki within their bodies, they simply have no chance to resist.
Even if it was unwilling, this Juvenile Ten-Tails could only watch helplessly as Isshiki absorbed its power.
"I'll just borrow a little bit. Once I've killed that guy, I'll make sure you have a good meal." Isshiki didn't forget to offer a rosy promise.
As expected of the future leader of the Kara, his skill in making empty promises is truly profound.
Soon, Isshiki's Chakra returned to its peak, and his injuries were also healed.
"Then let's continue the unfinished battle."
The Space Passage opened, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki smile.
When he reappeared, he had already returned to some corner of the Shinobi World.
"Bring it on."
"Let us sound the prelude to the destruction of the Shinobi World."
