The Warring States Period 2 [Jigen's Battle]

"Isshiki, I've come for you!"

"I just wonder how much of your strength you've managed to recover."

Otsutsuki Yuhao thought to himself.

Otsutsuki Isshiki hailed from the Otsutsuki clan and was the founder and de facto leader of the Kara organization.

Over a hundred years ago, he had arrived on Earth with his partner, Kaguya, to plant the God Tree. During that time, he was severely wounded by a sneak attack from Kaguya after she betrayed him. Afterward, Isshiki survived by parasitizing Jigen's body and established Kara to search for a suitable vessel.

A powerful radiance emanated from Otsutsuki Yuhao's right eye.

A spiral-shaped portal was summoned, and Otsutsuki Yuhao slowly stepped into it.

At a certain monk's temple in the Ninja World.

Jigen was recuperating inside. When Kaguya had ambushed him all those years ago, he had indeed nearly died, but thanks to the existence of Karma, he had managed to survive. However, Jigen's body was not suitable for his reincarnation, and he could currently only exert one-third of his power.

Suddenly, at that very moment.

Space tore open.

[Rasengan Uzuhiko]

If struck, the chakra would be driven into the enemy's body, and this chakra would rotate in sync with the planet's rotation. As long as the planet's rotation did not cease, this attack would never end.

Otsutsuki Yuhao had seen Boruto practicing this technique, which he had learned through the Heavenly Mechanism Technique.

A sky-blue Rasengan, its surface flickering with countless streaks of lightning, struck toward Jigen.

Jigen's heart jolted, and he instantly entered Karma State Two.

Black markings spread across his body, and a horn grew from his head as his strength instantly reached the power of fifteen Super Kages.

BOOM!

A terrifying force of impact instantly slammed into the ground, turning a hundred-meter radius into a massive crater, leaving a pit thirty to forty meters deep and over a hundred meters wide.

Jigen's body appeared in a somewhat disheveled state several hundred meters away.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of intense combat echoed across the earth and sky. The two fought in close quarters like lightning, trading blows with fists and feet. Every strike was a lethal attack, every punch capable of erupting with the power of a nuclear bomb, and every collision vibrating the air like thunder.

Their fists slammed into each other with the ferocity of thunder, their strength so great it shook the very earth.

BOOM!

After exchanging over a hundred blows, Jigen and Yuhao finally saw Yuhao seize an opening and kick Jigen away.

Jigen's body slammed heavily into the ground; his clothes were shredded, and the bones in his arm were shattered.

"Otsutsuki Yuhao, when did you find out my identity!"

Jigen slowly stood up, looking at Otsutsuki Yuhao with a hint of shock on his face.

Otsutsuki Yuhao's improvement in strength was somewhat beyond his imagination.

Otsutsuki Yuhao did not answer Jigen's question.

A [Rasengan Uzuhiko] appeared in each of his hands, and his other Rinnegan switched into a Tenseigan.

[Flying Thunder Might]

In an instant, Otsutsuki Yuhao appeared before Jigen, the Rasengan Uzuhiko in his hands about to be driven into Jigen's body.

[Sukunahikona]

Jigen's Golden Rinnegan widened violently, his pupils emitting a golden light.

Otsutsuki Yuhao's Rasengan Uzuhiko was shrunk, but only by a small margin.

"What!"

"Is my ocular power not enough?"

Jigen thought in alarm.

"It seems I have no choice!"

Jigen's Byakugan stared fixedly at Otsutsuki Yuhao, and finally, he made his decision.

[Daikokuten]

[Sukunahikona]

Countless black-red cubic blocks, fifty meters in size, descended from the sky, crashing toward Otsutsuki Yuhao.

Jigen's figure instantly vanished from before Otsutsuki Yuhao.

"Unable to shrink my Rasengan Uzuhiko, so you shrunk your own body to evade my attack? And you even had time to unleash Daikokuten."

Otsutsuki Yuhao watched Jigen's vanished form while simultaneously sensing several heavy objects imbued with powerful chakra signatures descending from the sky to crush him.

Otsutsuki Yuhao pointed his hands toward the sky, the Rasengan Uzuhiko in his palms striking upward at the Daikokuten above.

Rumble!

More than a dozen fifty-meter-wide cubic blocks exploded instantly, transforming into fireworks that burst forth, with grains of chakra energy spraying into the sky and blooming proudly in the air.

Black, red, and blue light illuminated the earth as if it were broad daylight.

"Bang!"

Otsutsuki Yuhao kicked the ground, and the massive shockwave struck the earth, carving out a trench thirty to forty meters long, two meters deep, and three to four meters wide.

Jigen's shrunken body began to enlarge, tumbling dozens of times across the ground before finally slamming heavily into the earth.

When Jigen's figure finally steadied, his body was covered in wounds of varying sizes.

"Otsutsuki Yuhao, I recall we have no feud between us. Why are you attacking me?!"

Jigen said with an ugly expression.

"It's simple. I already know about the business between you and my mother."

As he spoke, Otsutsuki Yuhao launched another attack toward Jigen.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that Otsutsuki Yuhao wouldn't even give him a chance to explain and was attacking him directly, Jigen couldn't help but curse in exasperation.

In the end, he simply used space-time ninjutsu to flee.

Otsutsuki Yuhao was stunned; he hadn't expected Jigen to run away so quickly.

"It seems Jigen's strength has declined even more severely than I imagined."

Otsutsuki Yuhao muttered to himself.

On the other side.

Jigen tumbled out of a portal, landing in a half-crouch on the ground.

"Cough... cough-cough!"

Jigen coughed several times, spitting several mouthfuls of blood onto the ground.

"Otsutsuki Yuhao, his strength has grown far too quickly!

Moreover, unlike those half-bloods Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, Otsutsuki Yuhao is a much purer clansman.

And he hasn't even consumed a chakra fruit yet.

If he were to eat the God Tree's chakra fruit, his strength would likely reach the level of the higher-ups!

His talent is truly astonishing!"

Jigen thought to himself, his face expressionless.

"This vessel is far too weak; I must find a body suitable for reincarnation as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if I encounter Otsutsuki Yuhao again, escaping won't be so easy."

Thinking this, Jigen walked toward the edge of the Land of Fire.

"Uncle Yuhao!"

Just then, Indra and Asura finally arrived at the scene.

Both of them were cultivating the Imperial Golden Core; although they had only reached the Golden Core Realm, it was enough to allow them to live for over two hundred years, and both remained in their youth.

"Uncle Yuhao, who were you just fighting?

That powerful chakra was very close to my father's.

How could there be such a powerful ninja in the Ninja World?"

Asura asked curiously.

"It likely wasn't a ninja. No matter how powerful an ordinary ninja is, at most they only cultivate senjutsu, but this chakra carried the aura of the Rinnegan and the Byakugan."

Indra thought for a moment before speaking seriously.
