"What is this..."
Otsutsuki Shibai looked down at the blood-splattered wound on his body and the bone rod embedded in it. His pupils dilated, and his expression froze.
"They used a constant barrage of attacks to dull the warnings from my 'Premonition' shinjutsu, and Ada and Daemon's shinjutsu to cloud my judgment. Damn it!"
He finally realized this was a trap set specifically for him. Ada and Daemon were the bait meant to lure him in.
Just then, Karin, who had followed close behind, arrived at the battlefield. With a quick flicker, she effortlessly entered the barrier.
At the same time, two figures emerged from the dust around them.
The figure on the left wore an Akatsuki Red Cloud outfit and a mask marked with the design of Red Pupils. The figure on the right wore the garments of the Otsutsuki Clan, with long hair trailing along the ground.
There was no doubt: the two figures emerging from the dust were Uchiha Hikari and Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had been lying in wait for a long time.
"You... you..."
Otsutsuki Shibai staggered back two steps.
He had already been struck by Karin's Tamatsukuri Spear, which had forcibly switched his state with hers, making him fall from his peak condition. His injuries were one thing, but the real problem was how much Chakra he had lost.
Now, he hadn't absorbed the shinjutsu, and instead had walked into an ambush. He could tell from sensing them alone that both figures before him were Kekkei Mōra on the same level as himself.
Karin slowly descended to the ground, the golden sword in her hand. "Be careful. His shinjutsu is a real pain!"
"Don't worry," Kaguya Otsutsuki said. "He's already been hit by my All-Killing Ash Bones. He's as good as dead!"
"All-Killing Ash Bones?"
