The Scorching Sun Village.
Uchiha Kei looked at an open space with a hint of amusement.
He had felt like he was being watched ever since the beginning.
This is it.
When his Sharingan was activated, he vaguely saw what appeared to be a cave.
There were also a few illusory figures.
The single horn on their heads indicates that these people are...
The Otsutsuki Clan!
Including Ginshiki, are there five Otsutsuki in total?
Uchiha Kei frowned slightly.
This is a bit tricky.
Of the other three, Hyuga Hanabi the most perceptive, noticed the change in Uchiha Kei and quietly approached.
"Teacher, is something on your mind?"
Hyuga Hanabi's face flushed slightly.
Her personality is different from Hinata's.
More decisive, and more resilient.
But...
Every time she faced Uchiha Kei, her heart would race and her face would turn uncontrollably red.
Uchiha Kei turned around and glanced at Hyuga Hanabi, then smiled and patted her head.
"What could be on a teacher's mind? You're overthinking it, little girl."
Hyuga Hanabi comfortably squinted her eyes, like a kitten.
"But the teacher clearly has something on her mind."
Hyuga Hanabi muttered stubbornly in a low voice.
"Little girl..."
Uchiha Kei wanted to say something more, but suddenly sensed something and looked up sharply into the air.
Shisui also stood up, looking up at the sky with a fierce fighting spirit.
Sasuke gripped the sword in one hand, a faint sharpness emanating from his body.
In mid-air, the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, dressed in a monk's robe, floated silently.
Are you waiting for me?
His voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
"Sort of, but not entirely."
Uchiha Kei wasn't nervous at all; instead, he answered with a smile.
"Oh?"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's expression remained unchanged.
"What I'm waiting for is the arrival of all of you Otsutsuki, not just you."
Uchiha Kei felt a little tired from tilting his head back, so he stretched his neck.
A strange light flashed in Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's eyes.
He actually knew!
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Uchiha Izuna was his student, and he died at his hands. He must have told him something before he died.
Furthermore, the White Bone Clan has already submitted to the Twilight Ninja Village.
The little creature he captured was from the White Bone Clan.
Knowing some information is not surprising.
"You're very confident, Uchiha Kei. Can you handle this on your own?"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki sneered, and with a casual flick of his wrist, dozens of small pebbles floated in front of him.
"Let me see what you're capable of."
With a wave of his hand, dozens of small pebbles shot out instantly, heading straight for Uchiha Kei.
"Playing with pebbles? That's not a good idea."
Uchiha Kei smiled as he watched the small stone hurtle towards him with a whooshing sound.
In his memory, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki seemed to possess a certain ability.
It can shrink objects...
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki sneered, "Sukunahikona!"
The already tiny stone instantly turned into invisible dust.
Uchiha Kei narrowed his eyes, and his Ninja Blade was instantly drawn from its sheath!
"Clang clang clang!"
Several muffled sounds rang out from the Ninja Blade.
Uchiha Kei also retreated sharply when the sound rang out.
After retreating nearly ten meters, Uchiha Kei forcefully stopped his retreat.
Shisui, Sasuke, and the other two stared in shock at the strange monk floating above them.
They've known Uchiha Kei for many years.
This is the first time I've seen him at a disadvantage in a fight!
In their minds, there was never anything that Uchiha Kei couldn't solve, nor any enemy he couldn't defeat!
But now, I have it!
The three clenched their fists simultaneously, their entire bodies tense, ready to join the fight at any moment.
Shaking his slightly sore and numb hands, Uchiha Kei's heart sank.
In the anime, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki has a significant role.
However, there is very little information available about his abilities.
He's incredibly capable, but he's just a minor character, almost like a boss.
This is Uchiha Kei's understanding of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
Uchiha Kei was momentarily dazed.
After all...
It's the real world. Whether it's a minor character in an anime or a major boss, everyone has their own abilities.
This ability is likely something that has never appeared in anime before.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki smiled with satisfaction.
The fact that he was able to be pushed back so far allowed him to estimate Uchiha Kei's approximate strength.
It's above average for Kage Level, but only slightly above average.
"Is this all the power you have?"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki chuckled and gave Uchiha Kei a mocking look.
Uchiha Kei didn't seem to mind, and a smile appeared on his face as he held his Ninja Blade.
"Disappointed? Don't be so quick to judge, this is just a warm-up. The real show is yet to come."
Uchiha Kei's Sharingan slowly rotated, the longsword-shaped Mangekyo exuding an eerie aura.
"I've been studying these eyes for the past few years, and I've finally made some progress."
Uchiha Kei sheathed his Ninja Blade sword, raised his hands, and said, "You can try it today, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki."
He clasped his hands together abruptly, and a surge of Chakra erupted from his body.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki narrowed his eyes slightly.
The surging Chakra was nothing special in his eyes, far from being comparable to his strength.
But he sensed a threat from the young man before him.
Those eyes, like those of a hungry wolf, were full of wildness!
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
To everyone's astonishment, Uchiha Kei, whose momentum had reached its peak, actually only used one move: Multi Shadow Clone?
Shisui frowned deeply.
The Uchiha Kei he knew never disappointed him; whenever faced with difficulties, he always managed to display astonishing performances.
But this time, even he couldn't figure out what Uchiha Kei was trying to do.
"Such a move might frighten the people of the Shinobi World."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki smiled dismissively, glancing at the Uchiha Kei across the mountains. "But you should understand, such techniques are meaningless to me."
The Uchiha Kei, all wore eerie smiles.
"Don't speak too confidently, or you'll scare yourself to death."
After saying that, countless Uchiha Kei simultaneously unleashed their Mangekyo and roared, "Susanoo!"
Shisui hearing this roar, Shisui's eyes widened instantly.
He suddenly recalled what Uchiha Kei said one day.
"Brother Shisui, what's the difference between Multi Shadow Clone and Shadow Clone?"
Uchiha Kei lay lazily on the grass, a blade of grass of unknown origin dangling from his mouth.
Shisui, who was cultivating, paused, pondering, "Shadow Clone is just a kind of illusionary Ninjutsu, intended to confuse the user. However, Multi Shadow Clone is listed as a forbidden technique, not only because it consumes a huge amount of Chakra, easily draining the ninja, but also because Multi Shadow Clone has an independent Chakra system and inherits a portion of the original user's bloodline and senses. If a large number of them are killed, the original user may die from the pain."
"Is that so?" Uchiha Kei thoughtfully.
"So, according to you, Multi Shadow Clone can also use Kekkei Genkai."
Shisui didn't understand, but he nodded subconsciously nonetheless.
"If a member of the Uchiha Clan were to use the Multi Shadow Clone, combined with the Mangekyo Sharingan to Susanoo..."
"Don't do anything reckless!" Shisui was terrified and quickly said, "Putting aside the enormous Chakra consumed by the Multi Shadow Clone, the destructive power of Susanoo against the Mangekyo alone is enough to kill you!"
"Okay, okay, stop nagging."
Uchiha Kei casually waved his hand, spat out the blade of grass in his mouth, and left humming an unknown tune.
"Boom!"
Countless enormous silver figures rose from the ground, each wielding a massive energy-transformed Ninja Blade.
Even the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who had witnessed countless grand scenes, was momentarily stunned.
Sasuke stared in shock, mouth agape, as if looking at countless Susanoo.
Susanoo...
Is this even possible?
