All the factions in the Shinobi World were watching anxiously, waiting for the two powerful figures who could shape its fate—Shinji and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki—to determine the winner.
As everyone waited nervously, the battle in the other dimension continued.
Thud.
With a muffled impact, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was kicked flying by Shinji once again!
Shinji didn't press the attack. Instead, he leisurely taunted him. "Hey, you're a full-blooded Ōtsutsuki, at least. Don't tell me this is all you've got?"
"Damn you!"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was furious beyond measure.
He had never been this angry, not even when Kaguya Otsutsuki had ambushed him.
"If I'd known you were this weak, I wouldn't have had Toneri and Karin deal with you. This is just painfully boring!"
Shinji yawned, looking utterly bored.
"Go to hell!"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki swept both hands out, firing countless Black Rods at Shinji once more.

"Tch!"
Clicking his tongue, Shinji dodged the ordinary Black Rods.
Thinking Shinji had fallen for his trap, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki immediately used Sukuna Hiko Na to restore the shrunken Black Rods to their original size, hoping to catch Shinji off guard.
But Shinji dodged, then reached out and caught all the Black Rods that had suddenly grown larger under Sukuna Hiko Na.
"!?"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki froze.
Shinji casually tossed away the Black Rods in his hand. "A cheap trick like that won't work on me. I've seen through your dōjutsu completely!"
Roar!
Just then, the Ten-Tails let out a furious bellow in the
