"You!?"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki abruptly turned his head, his gaze fierce as he stared at Otsutsuki Toneri, who had suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind.
While twisting the golden sword in his hand, Otsutsuki Toneri said coldly, "I am Z of the Akatsuki Organization!"

Swish, swish, swish.
Yet the moment Otsutsuki
