In a dilapidated little village in the Shinobi World.
"Isshiki, each village now possesses a group of very strong ninjas. Individually, they are not as strong as us, and even if they join forces, we alone cannot break through them."
Otsutsuki Hui Xi looked somewhat disheveled, and the hatred in his eyes was extremely obvious.
"If you're useless, don't make excuses."
Beside her, Otsutsuki Hui Meng scoffed, his face full of disdain.
"You!"
Otsutsuki Hui Xi turned around angrily.
Damn it!
If Ginshiki hadn't died, she wouldn't have been mocked by Otsutsuki Hui Meng every day.
The Otsutsuki Clan has always operated in pairs; only by working together can they unleash their full power.
However, because Ginshiki died early, her strength was always weaker than that of Otsutsuki Hui Meng.
"Okay, stop arguing."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who was standing at the very front, rubbed his temples.
My head hurts.
I originally thought that his arrival in the Shinobi World, this barbaric land, would be a piece of cake.
Who knew that after experiencing Kaguya's betrayal, and then, just when he was feeling triumphant, a native suddenly rose to power.
Uchiha Kei!
He witnessed the battle between the Twilight Ninja Village and the gods a few days ago.
Yes, Isshiki had been lurking in the Twilight Ninja Village for a long time, hoping to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Uchiha Kei.
Once Uchiha Kei is dead, the Shinobi World poses no threat to him!
But the moment he saw Big Thunder, he was completely dumbfounded.
Gods of the Netherworld!
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki came from Takamagahara and knew far more than these natives of the Shinobi World.
Their Takamagahara is extremely powerful; tens of thousands of planets are their cultivation Takamagahara.
Even so, they are still a level below the Netherworld.
The Netherworld, the place where all living beings rest in eternal sleep!
That's a place where gods exist!
When he saw Big Thunder fleeing frantically, Uchiha Kei severing his arm with a single strike, Isshiki even thought he was dreaming.
People...
Slaying gods with a sword?
This is insane!
A deep sense of fear loomed over him like a shadow.
He might not be surprised if he were among the top 20 of the 100 strongest in Takamagahara.
What about Uchiha Kei?
They're just natives of a wild, untamed planet!
"Stop the intrusion for now, observe for a while first."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's glassy eyes were filled with an unwilling compromise.
What could he do?
As long as Uchiha Kei remains in the Shinobi World, there's nothing he can do.
"Isshiki!"
Otsutsuki Hui Xi called out anxiously.
Her guardians died on this vile planet, and no one harbored a deeper hatred than she did.
Her sole objective was to wipe out all the native inhabitants of the Shinobi World.
Now that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki has called a halt to the opportunity, how could she not be anxious?
"Isshiki, I can cooperate with Hui Meng, as long as you don't change the plan!"
Hui Xi gritted her teeth and lowered her head in resignation.
Hui Meng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
The members of the Otsutsuki Clan are all proud and arrogant.
Apart from their own protectors, even family members will not cooperate with each other.
This is the pride they were born with!
But now, Hui Xi actually chose to join forces with him to avenge Ginshiki, which means she has thrown that arrogance into the ground.
Therefore, Hui Meng unusually refrained from making sarcastic remarks.
"No."
To everyone's surprise, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki still shook his head.
"Grown ups!"
"I said no, and that means no!"
The Otsutsuki Clan suddenly looked up at Hui Xi, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped her entire body.
Hui Xi felt as if her body was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, unable to move, and even her breathing became difficult.
Hui Meng subconsciously took a step back, looking at Ōtsutsuki Isshiki with some fear.
As a senior member of the clan, Isshiki's strength is beyond doubt.
But he never imagined that the gap between the two would be so vast.
Just their sheer presence was enough to immobilize Hui Xi!
"Heh heh heh, just as I thought, you outsiders are not united."
In the midst of this tense atmosphere, a dark figure completely concealed under a cloak suddenly appeared behind the group.
"Who!"
Hui Meng turned around abruptly, looking warily at the dark figure, and his guardian was equally on high alert.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki as if he hadn't heard anything, continuing to look at Hui Xi with cold indifference.
He had already noticed the presence of the shadowy figure.
They're just too lazy to bother with it.
In the entire Shinobi World, the only person he feared was Uchiha Kei.
"Don't be nervous, we should be considered friends."
The shadowy figure grinned sinisterly as it slowly approached the group.
"Friend?"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki sneered, "A primitive world has no right to be our friend."
"Yes, you come from Takamagahara. If we're judging by strength, I certainly don't qualify."
The shadowy figure wasn't angry; instead, it nodded seriously.
"But..."
The shadowy Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, "We have a common enemy, the enemy of my enemy, isn't that what makes us friends?"
As Ōtsutsuki Isshiki withdrew his momentum, Hui Xi fell to the ground in a sorry state, covered in cold sweat.
Just now...
She felt she was close to death.
"I am here in the hope of cooperating with you, our guests from afar."
The shadowy figure didn't waste any time and directly stated his purpose.
"Cooperate? With your abilities?"
Isshiki Shi chuckled, as if he had heard a good joke.
"Of course I can't, but..."
"I can help you quickly dismantle the villages!"
In short, it was earth-shattering.
Hui Xi and Hui Meng, still in shock, stared at him in disbelief.
"Although I am weaker than you, I am still a member of the Shinobi World, so I naturally have far more methods than you."
The shadowy figure spoke with unwavering confidence.
He believed that the offer was tempting enough for these outsiders.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki frowned slightly, pondering the pros and cons of this condition.
After Ōtsutsuki Isshiki shook his head helplessly.
"Even if the entire Shinobi World is destroyed, as long as Uchiha Kei is still alive, we cannot win."
Yes, after the previous encounters, and the battle between Uchiha Kei and Big Thunder, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had completely lost his confidence.
With his strength, he couldn't defeat Uchiha Kei.
Even with the addition of Black Shadow, Hui Xi, and Hui Meng, they still wouldn't be a match for Uchiha Kei.
After all, Uchiha Kei wasn't alone.
To his surprise, the shadowy figure's next words stirred his heart.
"Uchiha Kei has left this world. Although we don't know why, he won't be coming back for some time."
The shadowy figure was not at all surprised by his response.
After all, Uchiha Kei's current strength is undeniable.
A being comparable to, or even slightly surpassing, the gods!
That guy is even more terrifying than Senju Hashirama!
"He left this world? Where did he go?"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki quickly pressed for an answer.
The shadowy figure shook his head. "I don't know, but after he leaves, there will be a considerable amount of time, and that time will be our only chance."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki remained silent, his expression grave.
After a long while.
What is your purpose?
A smile appeared on the face of the figure hidden beneath the black robe.
Upon hearing this, he knew he had achieved his goal.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki...
I'm smitten!
