Originally, Bai Sui only wanted to compare his Inner Landscape with that of sea turtles on Earth to see what the differences were, but unexpectedly, he discovered a sea turtle just like himself.
However, this sea turtle is made of stone. Even by observing the Rhythm of the Bai Sui, no special features can be seen. It is simply a stone sea turtle statue.
However, this stone turtle statue is exactly the same as the one in the hands of the newly appeared Otsutsuki clansman, even down to the bow tied on its back.
With a wave of her hand, the stone turtle statue flew into Bai Sui's hand, an action that also attracted the attention of Otsutsuki Kaguya nearby.
"I don't know if you recognize this," Bai Sui said, handing over the turtle statue.
Otsutsuki Kaguya said with some confusion, "Huh? This! Me?"
I don't know either, but... I sensed the aura of the Ōtsutsuki Clan within it. But what exactly is this stone turtle for? And where did you get it? How do you possess something from the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
Bai Sui shook her head. "I don't know either. I don't know if you noticed, but the person who just appeared was holding a sea turtle. I searched the entire Ninja World to compare it with the sea turtles in the Ninja World, but I didn't expect there to be a sea turtle that looked exactly like it."
"However, the turtle he had was alive, while this one was a dead stone statue, which is why I asked him to bring it over so you could take a look and see if it has anything to do with the Ōtsutsuki Clan."
Otsutsuki Kaguya frowned. "That's right, this is indeed something from the Ōtsutsuki Clan, but I don't know exactly what it is."
Bai Sui pondered for a moment, "Hmm, if that's really the case, then it's quite interesting. It seems that if we want to understand the whole story, we still need to find that Otsutsuki clansman."
Since that's the case, Kaguya- senpai, would you be willing to make the trip? After all, his portal looks very similar to yours. Do you have any way to find them?
In my opinion, it's better to leave them all here as soon as possible. After all, you don't want them to go back and report this, leading to a constant stream of Otsutsuki members coming to attack, do you?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya thought for a moment and then nodded, saying, "Alright, I really don't want to confront the Ōtsutsuki Clan too early, but Yomotsu Hirasaka is, after all, the most advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu, and I'm not confident that I can definitely track it down."
"Let's go to the spot he just left and see if we can detect the spatial fluctuations he made when he left. If we can, things will be relatively easier, and we might be able to catch up with them soon."
Otsutsuki Kaguya then changed her appearance, transforming back into Black Zetsu, before randomly entering a bottle and landing in Bai Sui's hand.
Bai Sui used his divine sense to communicate with Madara Uchiha, instructing them to return to the moon first. Bai Sui himself then used the extraterrestrial meteorites he had inscribed to quickly approach the place where the Otsutsuki clan members had left.
"This is it. Can you find any traces here?" Bai Sui tossed the bottle in her hand and asked Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was regaining her original form.
Otsutsuki Kaguya closed her eyes, opened the Rinnegan on her forehead, and surveyed the space around her for about half a minute. Otsutsuki Kaguya, she opened her Byakugan and said, "Thank goodness, I found you!"
Immediately afterward, a black portal appeared behind Otsutsuki Kaguya, the same type used by the previous person. Bai Sui followed closely behind and entered the portal as well.
Speaking of which, this is the third time that Bai Sui has experienced Yomotsu Hirasaka, a Space-Time Ninjutsu. The first two times were to enter and exit Otsutsuki Kaguya's Amenominaka. Ame no Minakata is actually a special space of Otsutsuki Kaguya herself, which is similar to Bai Sui's Ame no Minakata.
Unlike the previous spatial travels in Yomotsu Hirasaka, this time it was more about moving in distance, so Bai Sui clearly felt the difference when she passed through the portal.
Previously, Bai Sui felt as if her body had pierced through a thin membrane of space, like a sheet of rice paper. Now, it felt as if she were standing on a conveyor belt, passively moving towards the distance.
Of course, this was just a feeling, because in reality, the speed of passing through the portal was very fast, only a moment, and the world before their eyes changed instantly.
This is a very desolate planet, devoid of any life. Well, calling it a planet isn't quite accurate; it would be more accurate to call it a meteorite or a comet.
After emerging from the portal, Bai Sui intentionally or unintentionally moved a step further away from Otsutsuki Kaguya, because he realized that this distance was beyond his one-click return distance. In other words, if Otsutsuki Kaguya and the two Otsutsuki clan members on the other side attacked him together, he would not be able to return to Earth instantly.
Therefore, for safety's sake, Bai Sui chose to leave a short, safe distance. Although this distance could not provide any substantial defensive effect, it at least gave Bai Sui some time to react.
After all, you can know a person's face but not their heart. And as the old saying goes, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts." Who knows if Otsutsuki Kaguya will actually ally with the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the other side?
After all, if we really delve into it, the reason why Otsutsuki Kaguya has turned against her own clan is actually just a God Tree Fruit. As for the so-called protected Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, he has already completely dissipated into the universe. Isn't the whole story just something that later generations can tell us?
Otsutsuki Kaguya, if she chooses to help the two on the other side now, and turns against them to take over the entire Earth, she might be able to atone for her mistakes. Not only would she be blameless, but she might even be credited. These are things we must be wary of.
Upon arriving at this place, Bai Sui immediately concentrated all his energy to imprint the land beneath his feet into his Inner Landscape. In this way, in the event of a battle, regardless of whether Otsutsuki Kaguya betrayed him, he would have a temporary teleportation point to move to.
The two people opposite them clearly did not expect that someone would come looking for them so quickly, and that the person who found them would use Yomotsu Hirasaka, a top-tier ability even within the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Moreover, judging from their expressions, the Otsutsuki who appeared later was clearly more astonished.
"What? You actually mastered Yomotsu Hirasaka so early? No, that's impossible, and it shouldn't be like this! I haven't been affected at all!"
"Ah, yes, it's you!" At this moment, the Otsutsuki clansmen who appeared later seemed to only then notice Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was also present.
Bai Sui, however, became interested. "So you know me? But I don't know you at all, I have no recollection of you whatsoever. It seems you really did travel through time to get here. Kaguya- senpai, it seems your guess was correct."
The Otsutsuki clansman opposite him was clearly delighted to hear the name Bai Sui mentioned. " Kaguya? You're Otsutsuki Kaguya! You're also a member of our Ōtsutsuki Clan, are you just going to help outsiders against us like this?"
I remember the mission information said you were the guardian? It seems the one you were protecting with is already dead, and you must have already eaten the Chakra Fruit that was supposed to be handed over.
But none of that matters! Although these are serious crimes within the clan, you must know that the person beside you will be the greatest enemy of our Ōtsutsuki Clan! If you are willing to help us take him down, everything can be forgiven!
Believe it or not, you know I traveled through time to get here. I have extremely important information to report to my clan, information about the God of Finality. Compared to that, nothing else matters. If you are willing to help us deal with him now...
I can vouch for you. No matter what you've done, the clan will forgive you, Otsutsuki Kaguya! I hope you think this through and consider your own identity."
Bai Sui shrugged indifferently at the situation, because he had considered this possibility the moment he stepped into this place. Moreover, due to Otsutsuki Kaguya's special status, as long as he said this, regardless of whether Otsutsuki Kaguya ultimately agreed or not, it had already sown discord between Otsutsuki Kaguya and Bai Sui.
After all, given that statement, Bai Sui would never dare to entrust his life to Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was from the Ōtsutsuki Clan. In the end, no matter what Otsutsuki Kaguya said, Bai Sui would always remain on guard to prevent being betrayed at a crucial moment.
However, Bai Sui didn't really care whether Otsutsuki Kaguya betrayed him or not, because based on the previous battle between Madara Uchiha and Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Bai Sui was not afraid of dealing with two Otsutsuki clan members like them, plus Otsutsuki Kaguya who had not recovered most of her strength.
After all these years, although he has never encountered an opponent who could make him use all his skills, and has not even made a move many times, he knows that his strength, as it stands, far surpasses that of Senju Hashirama and the others.
It's important to know that ever since Bai Sui elevated Senju Hashirama to the level of Otsutsuki, Madara Uchiha and Senju Hashirama have fought many battles in space. Bai Sui observed them using his divine sense while they were testing their moves.
He then simulated the battle in his mind, putting himself in either of the two sides' shoes, and in each simulation, Bai Sui easily won.
Of course, although at Bai Sui's level of skill, there is basically no longer any issue of mind and hand not working together, Bai Sui is still the kind of person who has the idea in his mind but hasn't tried it out in his hands. Therefore, he manually reduced his strength by a certain amount.
Even with the reduced odds, according to Bai Sui's own simulation, he could still easily win this battle, even if all three opponents attacked him simultaneously.
Yes, it's a three-on-one fight. If it's just a fight against two, and the third one manages to ambush you, the outcome is uncertain. After all, ambushes are unpredictable, and no one can say for sure what will happen to them after being ambushed. So, Bai Sui decided to treat Otsutsuki Kaguya as an enemy for the time being, as this is the best option at the moment.
" Sage Art: The Five Elements Rotation "
Having already decided on his attitude towards everyone, Bai Sui decided to strike first. He immediately used a self-created Senjutsu, based on the principle of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint, to form a huge spherical seal in front of him.
People and things within this seal must constantly endure attacks from the five elements of Sage Art: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Moreover, this Senjutsu is not only that, it also references the principles of various Sealing Jutsu, allowing the five elements to form a specific seal during their rotation. This seal suppresses everything and energy within its range. Bai Sui once tried it and found that even space itself could not be broken through within its seal, which was intended to prevent various forms of teleportation.
Although the opponent still possesses a Noble Phantasm that can travel through time and space, according to Bai Sui's judgment, it is certainly not something that can be used easily. Even if there is no huge cost to its use, there must be some other restrictions. Otherwise, the opponent would simply have used that Noble Phantasm to move from the very beginning, instead of opening a portal.
What Bai Sui didn't expect was that just as the energy emanating from his palm was about to engulf all three people in front of him...
The newly appeared Otsutsuki clansman suddenly had a pair of blue Rinnegan appear where his Byakugan had been. As it unleashed a large amount of ocular power, Bai Sui could clearly feel a strange power surging from it.
This power was very strange, because Bai Sui discovered that under the influence of this power, the energy generated by his Sage Art: Five Elements Rotation was actually flowing back.
What kind of magical eye technique is this? It can actually make someone's move go back? No! That's not right! This isn't just reversing someone's move; it's affecting time! It's turning time backward!
Within the range of Bai Sui's divine sense, it was clear that all observable people and things were experiencing a time reversal under this strange fluctuation. However, this reversal was obviously not very thorough, because Bai Sui's mind was still functioning normally.
Not only that, but Bai Sui also had a feeling that he could break the reversal of time at any time if he wanted to, and the source of this feeling was his own Yang Spirit.
