After everyone's eyes focused on him, Amado continued speaking.
"In fact, Sasuke-kun's prediction wasn't too far off."
However, the reality is not that simple.
"Let me use Boruto as an example. He has the Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki carved on his body."
What exactly happened to Boruto's body?
" Momoshiki copied himself and converted his data at the most intense moment of the battle."
"Then inject it into Boruto's body."
In short, a wedge is like a compressed backup file of Otsutsuki.
Even Li Yu, who was practically invisible in the interrogation room, couldn't help but speak up.
"That's possible too. You can convert yourself into data, inject it into the enemy's body, and then possess and be reborn."
"That's roughly the idea. The Ōtsutsuki Clan is indeed troublesome," Amado said, turning his head.
"What did you say?"
Backup
Everyone in the interrogation room was astonished upon hearing the confirmation.
"Compressed files will gradually unfreeze over time."
"Then, when all the data is unfrozen..."
" Boruto's body will be replaced by Momoshiki's data, and Boruto's own existence will completely disappear?"
"Thus, the resurrection of Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki is completed."
After hearing what Amado had said, Naruto became restless and asked anxiously.
"How could this happen?"
Is there any way to save him? What can be done to stop him?
Amado dared not meet Naruto's sharp gaze, and lowered his head to speak.
"Who knows? As far as I know, there's no way."
What Amado really wanted to say was that the only way to stop Momoshiki's resurrection was to kill Boruto, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
"I have a question," Sasuke said.
What question do you have?
"If Momoshiki were to revive within Boruto, how would the Karma seal change?"
That's a good question.
"The thawed Otsutsuki data will integrate into the body, like a sugar cube poured into black tea, and the wedge will disappear," Amado replied.
That's a bit strange.
" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki took over Jigen's body, but the Karma seal still remains within him."
"Why didn't it disappear but remained?" Sasuke asked.
That's true.
"Why is this happening?" Naruto asked, puzzled.
"Does the fact that the wedge still remains on Jigen's body mean that Isshiki has not yet been resurrected?"
"Similarly, shouldn't Boruto's Momoshiki be in the same state?"
"Your explanation is contradictory." Sasuke seized on a detail again, asking further questions.
"Haha," Amado couldn't help but smile, a smile that annoyed Shikamaru standing nearby.
Shikamaru grabbed Amado by the collar and warned him.
"In my opinion, Jigen is merely Isshiki; Kawaki is the key to Isshiki's resurrection," Li Yu stated his conjecture.
"That's right, this gentleman looks unfamiliar. What you're saying is very close."
"He took over Jigen's body with Isshiki, but not using the method I just mentioned, the wedge technique."
The reason is simple.
"He was so weak at the time, he was really teetering on the brink of death, and carving the wedge mark was an extremely strenuous task."
"At that time, he had no strength left, so he used the secret technique of the Sukunahikona to shrink his body and enter Jigen's body through his ear."
"He absorbed nutrients while surviving inside Jigen's body, like a parasite."
"Soon afterward, he took control of Jigen's mind, speaking his own language through Jigen's voice and manipulating his body."
" Jigen's body was taken away, just as the name suggests."
" Isshiki's physical form is currently still inside Jigen's body."
Amado meticulously analyzed the method of Isshiki and taking over the body.
"What"
"What a terrifying guy."
Boruto and Kawaki outside the door exclaimed in surprise.
The group of friends were stunned again; it was another bombshell.
Li Yu unconsciously picked at his ear; this kind of parasitic reverse was impossible to guard against.
Even with their current strength, they are powerless against such unconventional tactics.
"The branding of the wedge into Jigen's body happened later."
"He did this to revive the Isshiki form of the form," Amado continued.
"I still don't understand. Since Jigen has the Karma mark on him, why hasn't he been revived even though he recovered by Isshiki?" Naruto asked.
Li Yu found the long question-and-answer session somewhat unbearable and began to speak.
" Jigen was merely Isshiki temporary, reluctant choice; Kawaki was a carefully selected one."
"The Karma on Jigen's body is only to unleash the power of Isshiki technique, while the Karma on Kawaki's body is cultivated for resurrection."
"Oh, this gentleman's analysis is very accurate, that's exactly it."
" Jigen is an unlucky man; Jigen body is utterly unsuitable as Isshiki," Amado said.
"Sigh, this is clearly the same as you guys back then: Orochimaru, Sasuke, the Five, Anko— how strikingly similar they are!"
Only those who have experienced it firsthand and know the inside story can understand Li Yu's cryptic remark.
These are all people who have been given the Curse Mark seal by Orochimaru, and who are fanatically trying to become Orochimaru's reincarnation, such as Kimimaro.
"I have a question I'd like to ask: Is there anyone in the Isshiki who is so obsessed with becoming a weapon that they haven't been able to achieve their goal?"
Li Yu's question left Amado completely bewildered.
"That's true, it's Code from the Kara. He was also marked with a wedge, but lamented that he couldn't become a weapon of the Isshiki, and he greatly envied Kawaki."
"What? Someone actually wants to become Isshiki?"
"What"
"That's right. If we want to take down Isshiki, we can't forget about Code."
"Sir, let's think about how to deal with Isshiki; time is of the essence."
Li Yu glanced meaningfully at Amado, but didn't pay it any mind, and then continued to watch the battle in the projection along with everyone else's gaze.
"If Jigen had a Jigen on him, why didn't Isshiki revive him quickly?" Naruto asked, still confused.
"It's understandable that you would ask that, but when carving the wedge, the most important element should theoretically be the object itself."
"In other words, the chosen vessel was Jigen, who was just an unlucky man who happened to be there. For him, Isshiki's Chakra was too powerful."
" Jigen's body is insufficient to serve as Isshiki vessel for Isshiki. Even if Isshiki be directly reincarnated, Jigen's body would not be able to withstand his Chakra."
"I'll probably only last two more days before I die, so I've Isshiki up on reincarnating into Jigen and started preparing a new vessel."
After Amado explained his actions towards Jigen, he also revealed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's weakness, which eased the atmosphere in the interrogation room slightly.
"Is the new vessel you're preparing for Isshiki, Kawaki?" Naruto seemed to understand.
The projection on the desktop returned to normal, and the image reappeared on the wall.
"Look!" Shikamaru reminded him promptly.
"Looks like communications have been restored," Amado said easily.
