Tearing the Void, Plucking a Treasure

Just then, a voice suddenly came from afar. "How dare you!"

After saying that, a long sword flew out and pierced through the two black cubes on Uchiha's head! With a whoosh, the black cubes shattered into pieces, and an explosion rang out.

Uchiha's pupils contracted. That sword... it was Red Firmament! Xiao has returned!

Uchiha Kō used the Flying Thunder God to appear beside Red Firmament then began to spin around Uchiha Kō.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's pupils contracted. Damn it, could it be that he's going to die before he even gets started?

"Owl, go save Hashirama, he's still..." Before she could finish speaking, Tsunade's figure flashed, her body surrounded by gold and red. With a wave of her right hand, a chakra sword made of a Red Firmament clone pierced towards the two cubes above Senju Hashirama's head.

In the same way, the techniques of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki were countered.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's lips twitched. That was Tsunade? How could her power suddenly surge so much, and why was her aura the same as Uchiha Kō's?

Uchiha Kō glanced at Tsunade, then smiled at Uchiha, "It's done!"

Uchiha stared in disbelief at Tsunade, his granddaughter-in-law possessing such power!

Senju Hashirama and looked at Tsunade: "Tsunade, you've become so strong!" These words came from the bottom of his heart.

Those two cubes had almost completely robbed him of his ability to resist; if he had let them fall, he would likely have been killed!

Tsunade smiled and said, "This is all thanks to my husband's willingness to lend me his power!" After saying that, Tsunade's beautiful eyes flashed as she looked at Uchiha Kō.

Uchiha Kō chuckled and nodded. Since Tsunade wanted to explain it this way, he should play along.

Suddenly, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's eyes hardened, and he summoned the portal once more. "Dust Release Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"

A white, columnar object emerged from the door and headed straight for Uchiha Kō.

Uchiha Kō remained calm and was about to make a move when a figure appeared in front of him. Upon seeing the figure, Uchiha Kō nodded.

It was the Ōtsutsuki Shibai.

Ōtsutsuki Shibai smiled, then mobilized his chakra, pointed his right finger into the air, and a white beam of light Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's, shot towards him.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face paled. This guy could actually use Dust Release instantly, and the damage he caused was incredibly powerful!

Most importantly, there's Ōtsutsuki Isshiki; I felt a sense of closeness from blood ties with this guy.

However, now is not the time to think about these things; dealing with the immediate problem is the most important thing!

Seeing that the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu stored in the portal was no match for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki Ōtsutsuki Shibai opened another portal and slipped inside.

Initially, the portal lost its chakra supply from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, causing the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu within it to become extremely weak.

In an instant, Ōtsutsuki Shibai's white beam of light engulfed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki Atomic Dismantling Jutsu, and at the same time destroyed the mirror that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had initially summoned for positional warfare.

Hiding in the void Ōtsutsuki Isshiki couldn't understand why his own kind wouldn't help him. If it were just that they weren't helping him, that would be fine.

But why did his own kind help those four humans instead? They were so close, so very close, to defeating Uchiha and Senju Hashirama.

Daidoki Isshiki gritted his teeth. At this moment, he dared not make any rash moves, because the strength of his clansman was unfathomable. If he really helped Uchiha Kō, then he would most likely be annihilated.

He could not accept the consequences of such an action, so he did not act rashly and continued to observe how things were developing.

"Awesome, Shibai, you caused this much damage with just a casual strike. You're much stronger than Ōnoki."

Ōnoki, who was dealing with the controlled ninjas, was full of questions. He didn't understand why he was being told to be quiet, or rather, loudly chirped by others.

Ōtsutsuki Shibai shook his head. "You can do this kind of ordinary application of chakra if you want."

Having been imprisoned for ten thousand years, Ōtsutsuki Shibai's once youthful and impetuous nature has been smoothed out by time. Now, when he receives praise from others, he remains calm and composed, unfazed by either honor or disgrace.

Uchiha Kō smiled slightly. He naturally knew, because after becoming the advocate of humanity, he understood that chakra was essentially energy.

Whether it's Dust Release or Scorch Release, they are both applications of this energy. Just as Ōtsutsuki Shibai said, he can catalyze it at any time to deal with enemies, whenever he wants.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who overheard the two talking in the void, was filled with question marks. He considered himself a genius of the Otsutsuki generation, so why couldn't he understand what they were talking about?

Uchiha Kō looked at Ōtsutsuki Shibai: "Brother, is there any way to capture him?"

Ōtsutsuki Shibai closed his eyes, and his spiritual power, like a vast ocean, spread outwards.

He quickly locked onto an anchor point in the void, then opened his eyes and smiled, "Of course!" With that, he raised his right hand at a 45-degree angle above his head and slowly clenched his open hand.

Immediately afterwards, the void began to shatter, and a dark and deep crack appeared. At the same time, a large blue hand materialized from the air and reached out to grab the crack.

Upon seeing this, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's pupils contracted, and he immediately prepared to retreat. Just as he was about to use the teleportation portal again, he suddenly felt that he could not mobilize his power, and a sense of dread and fear from his very soul lingered in his heart.

He looked back, and the large hand was already reaching for him.

"Damn it! Move your body!" Perhaps it was Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's persistence that made his body slowly move. His face lit up with joy, and his right hand had already touched the threshold!

Suddenly, he felt his body tighten. He looked down and saw that his waist was being gripped by a large hand. A wave of despair and helplessness washed over him.

He frantically grabbed the portal frame with both hands, straining with all his might, his arm muscles bulging. "No, no no no no! No!! No!!!"

However, in the end, the arm can't twist the thigh, and he still let go, being pulled away from the portal by the large hand.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could only watch helplessly as the portal receded into the distance, muttering repeatedly, "Spare my life, I'm a streamer... no, spare my life, I'm a descendant of the Ōtsutsuki Clan."

But the giant hand ruthlessly pulled him out of the space-time rift and then slammed him to the ground in front of Uchiha Kō.

Uchiha Kō looked at this supernatural power with envy. This was the power of Ōtsutsuki Shibai, the legendary figure!

I wonder how many more ninjutsu like this he has!

"Alright, I've captured the person. Ask whatever you want." Ōtsutsuki Shibai's expression was indifferent. In his view, apart from the Otsutsuki who fought alongside him against the heavens and were considered his clansmen, the others were at most just ordinary people.

Uchiha Kō with some doubt, "Is this one of your clansmen?"

Ōtsutsuki Shibai nodded. "By blood, yes, but I've never met him, so it doesn't count."

Uchiha Kō's lips twitched. What he said made perfect sense. Tsunade, standing to the side, smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, she used one of Uchiha Kō's abilities, Intimidation, to control all the Cloud Division and Mist Division ninjas.

The subdued ninjas were then knocked unconscious by Rock District's ninjas, and soon, this massive battle came to an end.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kō gave Tsunade a thumbs up, then looked at Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki face contorted with rage. "You have no martial ethics! What kind of people are you to bully me, with so many of you ganging up on me?!"

Uchiha Kō was speechless. He could be easily defeated by Tsunade Ōtsutsuki Shibai, but this guy wouldn't fight him; he just hid.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll ask you a question, you answer it, and I'll let you go if you answer it well." Uchiha Kō stared straight at him.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was about to say something when Uchiha Kō took out Otsutsuki Dō's eyes. He didn't speak, but looked at Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's pupils contracted. He recognized those eyes; they belonged to that person. Now, those eyes were in the hands of Uchiha Kō. Did that mean that person was dead?

Seeing Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's expression, Uchiha Kō already had a guess in his mind.

"I don't understand, why do you want to unify the Ninja World? Is it for the God Tree Fruit, or... is someone instructing you?" After saying that, Uchiha Kō pointed to the sky.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was pale and kept his head down, not daring to speak. However, the tension on his face betrayed him. Uchiha Kō was certain that the Heavenly Dao Path was behind this.

"You'd better think this through. Working for that guy is like asking a tiger for its skin."

"Presumably, you've found out that the Ōtsutsuki Clan was wiped out because of him, and very few of their descendants have survived to this day."

"If you hadn't accepted the mission to plant the God Tree back then, you would probably be reunited with your clansmen in the Pure Land by now, wouldn't you?" Uchiha Kō began to coerce and entice.

Upon hearing this, a rare look of desolation flashed in Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's eyes, but it quickly returned to deathly silence.

Even if he found out, what could he do? The Heavenly Dao is an existence that even the God of Ōtsutsuki recorded in history was defeated by; what could the likes of us do?

Uchiha Kō knew his words had worked, so he stood up. "I forgot to introduce you. This gentleman beside me is Otsutsuki clansman named Ōtsutsuki Shibai, the God of Ōtsutsuki."

Upon hearing this, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked up, his eyes shining, and his lips moved. "You, you are our ancestor!" He became excited. For so many years, the Ōtsutsuki Clan had seemed to be superior to others, but in reality, they were still the dogs of the Heavenly Dao.

If you do not act in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, then prepare for your demise!

Ōtsutsuki Shibai a complicated expression. Although he didn't acknowledge these clansmen who hadn't participated in the great war, when these people knelt before him and pitifully called him "ancestor," he was deeply moved.

His heart skipped a beat, the coldness in his eyes faded, and he uttered a faint, "Hmm..."
