"Yes!"
Amado bowed and accepted the order.
Clearly, targeting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's move against "A." It would both strengthen his side and draw "A" out.
So Amado secretly counted himself lucky. Apart from leaking a little information without leaving a trace, he hadn't interfered in the matter. Otherwise, he would probably have been eliminated by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki by now.
Still shaken by the close call, Amado slowly withdrew to carry out Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's assignment: contacting the Dark Dawn.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki continued leisurely sipping his red wine.
The Nine-Tails' Chakra was indeed tempting to him. If he hadn't recruited such a powerful fighter as Otsutsuki Toneri, he might have absorbed the Nine-Tails directly to improve his chances against "A."
But now that he had recruited Otsutsuki Toneri, the situation had changed completely.
With Otsutsuki Toneri's help, along with his own Kara Organization and the Dark Dawn, he was confident he could defeat "A" head-on. So he planned to keep the Nine-Tails alive. After taking the Divine Tree from "A," he would have the Divine Tree devour the Yin Nine-Tails inside Naruto and return to its peak state. Then he would sacrifice "A" to the Divine Tree. At that point, the Divine Tree might be able to produce a "Chakra Fruit" outright.
Soon, as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's orders went out, Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon, Obito and Zetsu at the Akatsuki Organization's base, and Orochimaru and the others, who had reached an agreement with Obito, all received orders to assemble.
Aboard the Flying Fortress.
Boom!
Amid a tremendous crash, Hikari slammed into the wall. In an instant, cracks spread across its reinforced surface.
Shinji asked, "Are you all right?"
Uchiha Hikari shook her head and sprang to her feet, thrilled. "I can feel it! My 'Yachihoko' is back!"
Clearly,
Shinji
