Unification War (II)
A dazzling golden light filled the earth below, even illuminating the clouds in the sky with a golden glow, and a tremendous roar seemed to tear space apart.
The entire Otsutsuki Temple collapsed instantly under Kushina's sword strike.
A human figure shot out of the ruins below like a lightning bolt. It was Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. He was looking angrily at Kushina, who was enveloped in green Chakra, and Orochimaru, who was holding the fort. As for Obito, he completely ignored him.
Isshiki's body quickly rose into the air and attacked Kushina.
Boom--!
Two immense forces collided.
Isshiki's body bounced back like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the ruins of the temple below, kicking up clouds of dust.
Whoosh!
Isshiki flew out swiftly, completely unharmed.
"You possess the power of the Otsutsuki Clan." Isshiki did not immediately attack Kushina. The power Kushina had just unleashed made him very wary. However, the main reason was that Orochimaru, who shared the Same Origin Power as him, was nearby. Therefore, Isshiki did not go all out and saved his power to prevent Orochimaru from launching a sneak attack.
"You've received favors from the Otsutsuki Clan, yet you still choose to be my enemy?!"
Isshiki showed anger, because before he could finish speaking, Kushina attacked him again.
Bang bang bang!
The two were still fighting using the most basic Taijutsu, but their speed and strength had completely surpassed the limits that humans could achieve.
Even with his Mangekyō Sharingan Obito, Obito's dynamic vision could only perceive the afterimages of the two individuals. Only Orochimaru, with his Rinnegan activated, could keep track of the battle's changes at all times.
Kushina and Isshiki clashed fists again, and both were sent flying by the enormous recoil.
Immediately afterwards, the two attacked each other again.
They exchanged over a hundred blows in a short period of time.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, Kushina was knocked back by Isshiki strike, her body flying backward.
This time, Kushina did not immediately launch another attack, because she felt it was necessary to change her fighting style.
"This guy's strength is terrifying; I've never seen anyone like him before."
Kushina moved her slightly numb right hand joints, looking somewhat surprised.
Since learning the "Crimson Dragon Calamity"Crimson Dragon Calamity Breathing Technique taught to her by Shiraha and mastering it, Kushina has almost never encountered an opponent stronger than her.
She suppressed the Third Raikage, who had mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, simply by using the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. She didn't even need to unleash her full Breathing Technique at that time.
Although the enemies she encountered became stronger and stronger, Kushina's own growth rate did not fall behind at all.
Furthermore, after activating the Tenseigan and becoming proficient in using the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, her power increased exponentially, and she has now completely mastered the power of the Kurama.
With the Tenseigan Chakra Mode and the Nine-Tails Sage Art, even Shiraha wouldn't dare to engage in a direct Taijutsu with her.
However, the Isshiki in front of her was subtly suppressing her in terms of Taijutsu, which was truly exaggerated.
No wonder Shiraha treated Isshiki enemy.
The Otsutsuki Clan is truly powerful!
"Kushina, don't go Isshiki out against Isshiki. With my Chakra support, you can wear Isshiki down with just your stamina. With the Senjutsu enhancement, the Tenseigan's power will be even stronger. You just need to fight Isshiki."
The Kurama ' reminder echoed in Kushina's mind.
"I understand. I was just trying to see if I could solve the problem, but it seems I was overthinking it. In the end, I'll leave it to Shiraha."
Kushina nodded.
' Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!'
She opened her right hand, and a large amount of Chakra gathered in her palm, eventually turning into a miniature tornado.
As the Truth-Seeking Orb behind her fell into her palm, the miniature tornado was released from her hand and rapidly expanded into a giant tornado with a diameter of over tens of meters, sweeping towards Isshiki Shi with the force to devour heaven and earth.
"Damn it!" Isshiki's face was ashen, his mind racing, and a large number of bluish-black Cursed Seal had already covered his entire body.
Just dealing with Kushina alone had already mobilized most of the power of the 'Karma' within him. If he continued to use the power of the 'Karma', this still unrecovered Vessel would probably collapse completely. In that case, he would have to immediately reincarnate and revive, which would further prolong the time it would take to recover to his peak condition.
However, at this point, he seemed to have no other choice, because Orochimaru had not yet made a move.
"You lowly creatures!"
Isshiki, Isshiki cursed and used his Rinnegan ability, "Sukunahikona," to dodge the energy storm attack of the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion it swept towards him. In the blink of an eye, the ruins of the palace behind him were carried into the sky by the huge funnel-shaped tornado.
Seeing that things were hopeless, Isshiki chose to avoid battle and did not engage in a direct confrontation.
"Kushina, Isshiki is behind you!"
Orochimaru, who had been watching the battle, suddenly spoke up to warn everyone. He had absorbed another Isshiki, and the Chakra within him was of the same origin as the current Isshiki. Therefore, even if Isshiki became as small as a speck of dust through the ' Sukunahikona ', he could still sense Isshiki's location through Isshiki Chakra.
At that moment, it was as Isshiki he had teleported, suddenly appearing behind Kushina. This was because he had moved behind Kushina after shrinking, and then restored his body size through ' Sukunahikona ' to launch an attack on Kushina.
Kushina turned around and punched the area behind her. Thanks to the powerful sensory abilities of the Nine-Tails Sage Art, she was able to sense Isshiki's location even without Orochimaru's warning.
Click!
The Yin-Yang Release Black Rod that was rapidly enlarging in Isshiki's hand was shattered by Kushina's punch.
"What?!"
Isshiki's expression changed in surprise as he watched the fist hurtling toward his face. He suddenly shrank, causing Kushina to miss.
The next second, Kushina delivered a side kick to the empty space beside her, and the four Yin-Yang Release Black Rod broke again.
With multiple enhancements, his physical strength alone is almost on par with Black Rod, not to mention the double boost from Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Nine-Tails Sage Art.
However, Isshiki used the ' Sukunahikona ' technique to enlarge and shrink his body, Kushina was unable to exert her full power. She immediately called out to Orochimaru, who was watching the battle, "Come and help!"
"Alright!" Orochimaru had long wanted to avenge the time he was Isshiki.
"He's trying to run away!"
At that moment, Orochimaru suddenly shouted.
It was seen that Isshiki's figure appeared a hundred meters away. Isshiki's figure quickly returned to normal size and he used his spatial ability. A dark Space Gate appeared in mid-air.
Isshiki was reluctant to give up this stronghold that he had painstakingly built up over a thousand years. At the same time, the Otsutsuki Main Family -Ten-Tails hidden beneath the temple was the key to his recovery of power. Otherwise, if he had not recovered his power and could not hand over the Chakra Fruit Kaguya had swallowed when the Kaguya came next time, he would have to be sacrificed again to become nourishment for the Divine Tree.
However, the black crystal on his chest had developed numerous cracks, and he needed to leave this place as soon as possible to be reborn.
If it were just Kushina, he could still deal with her, but now that Orochimaru has also made his move, staying here any longer would likely be life-threatening.
We have to go!
Therefore, Isshiki directly opened the Space Gate, preparing to abandon this stronghold.
As for the Ten-Tails, Isshiki can only keep it here for now. In any case, the Ten-Tails- Ten-Tails is almost Immortal Body, and even the members of the main clan cannot completely kill it, let alone these inferior creatures. At worst, it can lie dormant for a while and eventually find an opportunity to take revenge.
Orochimaru activated the power of his Rinnegan, causing the Space Gate that was Isshiki open to shrink rapidly.
At the same time, Obito pushed the Kamui of his eyes to the limit, opening Space Gate with Isshiki, which was immediately distorted and closed by spatial power. Obito's eyes also bled due to the massive consumption of his Eye Power in an instant, making it difficult for him to continue.
"Damn it!"
Isshiki, Isshiki was caught up by Kushina and Orochimaru at the same time. Even using the ' Sukunahikona ' technique, he could not escape their senses. His Vessel was about to collapse, which made Isshiki increasingly anxious. Finally, he decided to fight to the death.
"Go to hell!"
With Isshiki roar, he unleashed a massive amount of Original Chakra.
A snap.
Isshiki Vessel of Jigen's body, instantly collapsed and disintegrated, revealing Isshiki's original Chakra source.
A pale-skinned Otsutsuki with curved horns appeared, and a terrifying aura several times stronger than before swept through the entire space.
Kushina and Orochimaru watched with grave expressions as Isshiki sudden burst of power was completely suppressed by his surging strength.
Boom--!
Boom--!
In just a few exchanges, Kushina and Orochimaru were knocked back by Isshiki strike, their bodies crashing heavily into the ground, leaving huge craters.
Seeing Isshiki, Yishi did not press his advantage, but instead opened Space Gate to escape.
Although his power surged after unleashing his Original Chakra, he would die completely if he did not reincarnate within two days.
Although Kushina and Orochimaru are both excellent Vessel for reincarnation, it is impossible for him to defeat them in a short time. Once he has exhausted too much of his Original Chakra, he will be finished.
So Isshiki hesitation, Yishi plunged headlong into the Space Gate.
"Shiraha!?"
Kushina, Orochimaru, Obito all looked up at the clouds, wondering why Shiraha hadn't made a move at this point and had let Isshiki leave.
At this moment, Shiraha's figure descended from the clouds.
"Shiraha, why didn't you stop Isshiki?" Kushina asked, puzzled.
Shiraha smiled and pointed to the dark, shadowy Space Gate in mid-air.
"Huh? This is... Could it be?" Orochimaru's eyes widened. Isshiki had already escaped, why hadn't this Space Gate closed yet?
At this moment, Shiraha's Rinnegan narrowed slightly. Under the influence of his powerful Eye Power, the dark Space Gate in mid-air began to fade, eventually turning into a semi-transparent color.
Now, Kushina, Orochimaru, and Obito could also see what was inside.
Isshiki, Isshiki was battling Orochimaru when Kushina joined the fight. Then Isshiki's Vessel collapsed, suppressing the two with his Chakra essence, and he escaped through Space Gate.
Then, the scene inside loops again.
"Ah! Why?!"
Isshiki roared in the time loop, clearly showing that his resistance was much stronger than that of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu. He had already realized the problem, but he could not escape this specific time loop at all.
"This is truly..." Orochimaru felt a chill in his heart. Although he had seen Shiraha use "Infinite Ring" to deal with Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, seeing that even Isshiki strong person like Ichishiki could not escape this eye technique, Orochimaru still felt that it was somewhat unreal. It was truly an eye technique that was almost impossible to solve.
"This is the ' Infinite Ring ' you were talking about?!" Kushina's eyes widened as she stared at the Isshiki that Shiraha had manipulated so easily, and for a moment she didn't know how to express the shock in her heart.
Although Shiraha had told her about the power of the Rinnegan technique, this was the first time she had ever seen it.
"This ability is too overpowered!"
After a long silence, Kushina couldn't help but sigh.
In a direct confrontation, she was confident that she wouldn't be much weaker than Shiraha, but if she were to face this eye technique, she would be completely helpless.
"And you even said that the Isshiki was too strong? We prepared for so long, and you just defeated him so easily?" Kushina continued.
"His Isshiki is indeed very strong. Without you attracting his attention, I wouldn't have been able to intercept this segment of time and space so smoothly."
Shiraha said with a smile.
His words were not flattery, because he had already used nearly 60% of his Eye Power to capture a segment of spacetime and maintain the continuous operation of the "Infinite Ring".
The strength of the Isshiki was even greater than he had expected. Fortunately, he was not careless, otherwise, if he were to deal with the Isshiki by himself, he would have to use up at least 80% of his Eye Power.
Orochimaru watched as Ichishi continued his powerless rage within the "Infinite Ring" Isshiki, his aura rapidly waning. He then withdrew his gaze and looked at Shiraha: "So what do we do now?"
"I'll stall him a little longer. You guys go and catch those little rats that escaped from here," Shiraha said. "Next, the Shinobi World will embrace unification and enter an era of eternal peace!"
"Okay. I remember there's a guy named Amado in the Kara. He's quite talented. We can capture him to assist in the research."
Orochimaru nodded.
Although he had long since lost much hope for peace, he was still very interested in the Tech Empire that Shiraha had described.
If everyone were to develop technology in a peaceful country, out of hundreds of millions of people, there would always be a few geniuses like Kabuto and Nonō, and it's not impossible that another Shiraha would emerge.
The emergence of talented individuals will make their Tech Empire even stronger, and it is not impossible for them to move from Planetary Civilization to Interstellar Civilization.
"I'll go too."
Obito spoke up from the side.
"Well, now it's your turn to shine." Shiraha smiled slightly.
It is foreseeable that this revolution, which is about to sweep across the entire Shinobi World, will replenish his "Chain of Emotions" with a great deal of high-quality Emotional Power, further contributing to the Bloodline Throne he may build in the future.
Orochimaru and Obito used their spatial abilities to teleport, while Shiraha withdrew his thoughts and focused on dealing with Isshiki.
Although Isshiki was already trapped, he wasn't yet at the point where Shiraha could capture him immediately; he still needed to be worn down a bit.
With a complete source of Otsutsuki Chakra, plus the technology mastered by Shiraha, it's even possible to quickly recreate a complete Otsutsuki.
If all of it is given to Kushina, it won't be long before her life level is raised to Fourth-Level.
However, Shiraha has another sustainable way to make full use of everything in Isshiki.
