Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was nearly driven mad.
There was no helping it. He had been resting peacefully in the Shell Organization's base inside Jigen's vessel, recovering his Chakra while preparing to summon Kashin Koji.
He wanted to find out why Kashin Koji and Amado had betrayed him and let Kawaki escape.
But before Kashin Koji even arrived, Isshiki suddenly sensed something amiss in his pocket dimension!
Jigen hurried back into the dimension to investigate.
That was when he discovered, to his shock, that both his precious Ten-Tails juvenile and Naruto, who had been imprisoned in the Sealing Cauldron, were gone!
Jigen couldn't believe it. He'd only rested for a moment—how had someone managed to break into his home and steal everything?

There were also traces of jutsu battles left by
