Late at night
Li Yu's Chakra recovered to about 50-60%. He put on the prepared black robe and mask, opened the window, and glanced outside.
A few lights were faintly lit within Konoha, and shadowy figures could be seen in the dark corners of the streetlights and streets.
"It should be Anbu Ninja on patrol."
Li Yu closed his eyes and jumped off the tall building, feeling the cool night breeze and the sensation of rapid descent.
"Swish"
The moment he opened his eyes, Li Yu vanished from mid-air and instantly appeared in a dark alley in Konoha, landing effortlessly and stylishly.
Having found the right direction, they headed towards the Konoha Research Institute.
Concealing his Chakra, Li Yu quickly infiltrated the research institute and used his sensory abilities to pinpoint the exact location.
He immediately Hand Seals and used Earth Release to dive downwards.
"I've found you, Amado."
In the darkness, Li Yu's eyes had turned into purple spirals, and he reached out a hand towards the sleeping Amado.
Who is it?
Although Amado woke up in time, she was still unable to resist Li Yu.
" The Human Path: Reading Memories"
Li Yu quickly obtained the information he wanted from Amado's mind, and also copied the android technology.
Before leaving, Li Yu used Genjutsu to erase Amado's memory of the night, then activated Flying Thunder God Technique on the spot to return to the hotel, leaving behind a Wood Release Clone. He then activated Flying Thunder God again to easily leave Konoha.
"Is this Amado really hiding information, and harboring his own ulterior motives, perhaps plotting to resurrect his daughter?"
"Too bad you ran into me!!"
" Code, right? Ōtsutsuki Isshiki shouldn't be dead yet; there's still time."
Li Yu traveled under the cover of night, using Sage Mode and even activating the Rinnegan to use ' Yomotsu Hirasaka '.
Every second counts; Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could kick the bucket at any moment, just as the first rays of dawn rose.
Li Yu arrived at the Kara's base and searched it carefully, discovering a number of instruments.
"These are all very nice items; I'll come back to get more later."
There were still quite a few inside the base, black leather belts with a row of buttons.
"Found it! This is what Code's spatial teleportation ability relies on!"
Li Yu Hand Seals, imagining the image in his mind, and "bang!" used the Transformation Technique to transform into Jigen's appearance.
He was bald, with a tuft of hair on his head, a pigtail braid down his back, and wore a white robe.
Li Yu mimicked Jigen's arrogant, indifferent, and disdainful face, his eyes turning into purple spirals.
Using the spatial information on the black belt, he opened a spatial portal and stepped inside.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared before them. A red-clad boy was fast asleep on the white ground. He opened his eyes the moment he sensed the spatial fluctuations.
Li Yu swiftly closed his Rinnegan and coldly watched the boy who had actually gotten up from the ground.
" Jigen Xian!"
" Code, my loyal and devout servant, how is the Ten-Tails?"
"Sir, there's nothing unusual here."
Code was completely unaware of Jigen's unusual behavior and continued to bow respectfully.
"That's good"
"In recognition of your faithful loyalty to me, I grant you greater power. Come here."
Are you going to carve another wedge for me?
Code stretched out his hands, palms facing outwards, and there was a diamond-shaped mark on his left hand.
Li Yu thought to himself, "Damn, this kid really has something going for him. He might not be the smartest, but his abilities are definitely quite bizarre."
Just as Li Yu was holding Code's left hand, preparing for the next move, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
"Sizzle"
Code's left-hand wedge suddenly reacted, and white mist suddenly appeared in the air in front of him. Within the white mist was a creature with horns on its head, wearing a white robe with Tomoe.
" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!" Li Yu thought to himself, realizing something was wrong.
Just as Code was caught off guard, his attention was focused on the wedge in his hand and the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in the air, and he thought that this was a change brought about by Jigen in front of him.
Li Yu struck first, his hands moving with lightning speed, his hand forming a grasping motion as he aimed directly at the black leather strap on Code's head.
"Pfft, creak"
With blood and sparks on his hands, he ripped the belt off Code's head, flesh and blood, and withdrew.
"Ah ah"
Code immediately lay down, clutching his scalp, which was torn. His once handsome and thick reddish-brown hair now had a Mediterranean patch in the middle, instantly reducing his good looks by 90%.
"What are you doing? Did I do something wrong?"
Seeing the heartbroken Code lying on the ground, Li Yu still couldn't guess Jigen's true identity. Relying on his piety that transcended reason, he remained foolish and dared not resist.
Removing the black belt made Li Yu feel much more at ease. Seeing how ignorant and devoted Code was to an alien, since he could still pretend, he would play along.
"Who are you"
Before the soul of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could utter the question "Who," Li Yu casually swung his hand forcefully, scattering Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's white mist and soul.
" Code, if you want to gain my power, you must pay a price." Li Yu maintained a cold and dignified expression, though he almost burst out laughing inside.
In fact, Code didn't recognize the appearance of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in the white mist, he only recognized the appearance of Jigen's body, and thought that this was a ritual performed by Li Yu.
The dispersed white mist condensed again, and the figure of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki slowly emerged. Li Yu dispersed it again, muttering incantations, looking like a modern shaman performing a ritual.
"Damn it, this fog just won't go away! We can't let Ōtsutsuki Isshiki open his mouth, or we'll give ourselves away!" Li Yu immediately turned around, his back to Code on the ground.
He opened his arms to the sides, and while doing so, his eyes quickly changed, turning into a purple spiral shape.
"If I am a soul, then I will follow the Human Path."
"I'll catch you."
Li Yu, with an invisible light emanating from his hand, grabbed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's soul and read its memories.
At this moment, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki his mouth in pain, letting out a silent scream, his eyes rolling back.
Mission accomplished.
Not long after, Li Yu finished reading Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's memories, closed his Rinnegan, and slowly turned around.
" Code, I grant you the power of the White Karma."
Code's left-hand wedge changed rapidly, powerful energy flowing throughout his body, and the bleeding, bald patch of his Mediterranean head healed quickly.
There's no way around it; the Karma has its own rules, which automatically infuse Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Karma with the legacy of Code, helping him become a new Otsutsuki and continue the Ōtsutsuki Clan of devouring life from planet to planet, ultimately becoming a true god.
In Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's memory, he saw that God possessed countless eyes, which was still quite chilling.
At this moment, Code, who was on the ground, suddenly stood up, his scalp ripped off, and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yu.
"I misunderstood you, Jigen."
"Okay, you stay here and wait for me to come back." After saying that, Li Yu turned around and glanced at the Ten-Tails larvae inside the building.
Li Yu turned his back to Code again, Rinnegan to create a spatial vortex, and stepped into it.
Kara Headquarters
"Pretending to be cool is exhausting; the Rinnegan is constantly being activated and deactivated."
"However, I still have the potential to be a charlatan," Li Yu said, occasionally mimicking Jigen's tone.
