However, leaving this thing like this is always a potential problem.
Normally, nothing much happens; Ginshiki can't cause any trouble.
However, in a battle where the forces are evenly matched, even the slightest oversight can turn the tide of the battle.
Just as Uchiha Kei was frowning in deep thought, Kaguya stepped forward and gently placed her fair hand in his palm.
"The wedge is a container for storing all the information of the Otsutsuki Clan."
Kaguya slowly raised her hand, and wisps of black gas rose from the diamond-shaped pattern.
"Normally, the wedge is in a frozen state, but through certain methods, it can provide some assistance to the host."
The black gas began to spread upwards from Uchiha Kei's palm, forming a pattern like a tattoo.
"But..."
Kaguya's gaze turned cold, and her unique aura suddenly erupted, flowing into the tattoo design.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream emanated from the pattern.
Uchiha Kei raised an eyebrow; he could tell that it was indeed Otsutsuki Kinshiki's voice.
"The information contained within the Karma seal contains the soul of the Otsutsuki. It will strive to invade the host's soul, and once it succeeds..."
"Then I am no longer myself."
Uchiha Kei sneered and answered directly.
Kaguya was taken aback, but nodded nonetheless.
Do you know how to remove a wedge?
Kaguya thought for a moment, then suddenly clenched her fist in his palm, and wisps of black gas surged wildly into her palm.
Uchiha Kei frowned.
He saw it clearly: the instant Kaguya absorbed the black aura, a black diamond pattern gradually appeared in her palm.
This is not about removing the wedge.
Instead, Kaguya wants to transfer the Karma seal onto herself!
Uchiha Kei immediately closed his palms, and the influx of black gas instantly stopped.
Kaguya paused, looking at Uchiha Kei.
"I want to remove the wedge, not transfer it into your body."
Uchiha Kei frowned deeply.
He is confident that his strength will not be affected by the wedge.
But for Kaguya, that would be somewhat of a stretch.
First of all, she is also Otsutsuki Clan, but who knows if there are any restrictions on her or her own clan members.
Secondly, Kaguya's strength is still somewhat inferior to his, so the influence of the Karma on her is definitely greater than on his own.
Finally, Uchiha Kei didn't like to leave trouble for others; it was just his personality.
Kaguya gave him a deep look and whispered, "The Karma won't affect me much."
That won't work either.
Uchiha Kei flatly refused.
No matter how much impact it would have, Uchiha Kei did not want to graft the Karma onto Kaguya.
There's no room for discussion!
Kaguya pondered for a moment, "Removing the wedge isn't impossible, it's just very difficult."
Tell me about it.
"Mental power!"
Kaguya looked at Uchiha Kei, "By suppressing the mental power far exceeding that of the Karma itself, the mental power contained within the Karma will be shattered, leaving only the energy source of the Karma. In this way, it will have no effect on you."
Uchiha Kei raised an eyebrow, an idea forming in his mind.
The Rinnegan stared intently at the diamond pattern on the palm of his hand, and the Genjutsu was activated instantly.
"Buzz!"
The surrounding space gradually began to ripple, with ripples spreading in all directions in layers.
"Genjutsu? Hmph, trying to teach a fish to swim!"
Otsutsuki Kinshiki's voice suddenly appeared, his tone filled with disdain.
As soon as he finished speaking, an even more powerful aura emanated from the diamond pattern.
Uchiha Kei's face revealed a smug smile.
We've been waiting for you to retaliate!
"Ding, mental attack detected. Would you like to return it tenfold?"
"Yes!"
Uchiha Kei let out a low growl.
"Thump!"
Before Kaguya's shocked eyes, a visible spatial collapse began to occur, centered on Uchiha Kei!
Layer upon layer of space collapsed, enveloping him like black ripples.
"Impossible! You're just an ant in the Shinobi World, how could you possibly possess such powerful mental strength!"
Otsutsuki Kinshiki's terrified voice rang out, trembling violently.
"Trying to treat others like ants, little do they know..."
A cold glint flashed in Uchiha Kei's eyes.
"You're nothing but an ant!"
A powerful spiritual force surged towards the rhombus pattern from all directions.
"No! No!"
Otsutsuki Kinshiki's voice grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.
The space collapsed and then instantly returned to normal.
Uchiha Kei looked at his palm; the originally jet-black diamond pattern had now turned silver-white.
"Mental energy... has... disappeared?"
Kaguya's eyes were glued to her.
She had just sensed an extremely powerful spiritual force, and anticipated that it might eliminate the spiritual force contained within the wedge.
But when she actually saw it, she still found it incredible.
The Otsutsuki Clan all know the method for removing the wedge.
But how many can actually do it?
Almost none!
Strength can be cultivated, but improving mental strength is extremely difficult.
Mental power has many uses; whether it's Genjutsu or the enhancement from one's own bloodline, it offers considerable benefits.
However, there are almost no ways to enhance mental strength.
There are differences in ability between people.
However, their mental strength is basically the same.
A mental strength far exceeding that of a wedge sounds easy, but is extremely difficult to achieve.
Now...
Uchiha Kei did it!
Uchiha Kei lightly clenched his fist, and a silver-white diamond pattern, like a tattoo, extended upwards along his arm until it covered half of his face.
Both physical and mental strength surged dramatically the moment the silver-white pattern covered them!
If Uchiha Kei's strength was 1 before, then it's now 2!
Powerful!
Very strong!
A direct doubling of the improvement!
Uchiha Kei clicked his tongue in surprise.
No wonder Boruto is the era of tattoos; the Karma seal truly has an immense effect on improving strength.
Uchiha Kei removed the tattoo with satisfaction.
The potential danger has now been eliminated.
All that's left is to seal Kaguya step by step, and his Space-Time Mission will be complete.
A side-effect-free version of Eight Gates...
And that's it!
