You've Successfully Piqued My Interest / An Excited Kaguya

Moreover, those short-lived and forgetful ants surely don't even know the name of the Ōtsutsuki Clan anymore.

"I've heard a little about it," said Uchiha Shingen, the crimson light in his eyes fading, revealing his Rinnegan.

He removed his shadow hat so he could see the monk more clearly.

When his Rinnegan, which he hadn't used for a long time, was activated again, it naturally attracted the attention of another Ōtsutsuki Clan who was now in Leaf Village.

At this moment, in the Hyuga Clan residence, Kaguya, who was enjoying life without any regard for her image because no one was around, sensed the change in Uchiha Shingen Chakra and, out of curiosity, turned her gaze towards him.

When Jigen's figure appeared before her through the sharing mechanism of the Rinnegan, she immediately recognized his identity.

Isshiki pan!

She searched for a long time back then, determined to see him off on his final journey.

This is truly an unexpected stroke of luck; it just came to us of its own accord!

Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately gave it a thumbs up, and her immense spiritual power began to communicate with her main body on the moon, transmitting Chakra.

Chapter Nineteen: You've Successfully Piqued My Interest

Upon seeing Uchiha Shingen's Rinnegan, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki knew that it was absolutely the most suitable vessel for him, without exception.

The Rinnegan, even for the Ōtsutsuki Clan, is something that can only be obtained by eating Chakra Fruit.

Because this symbolizes the Ten-Tails.

Each Ten-Tails' power can only generate one pair of Rinnegan.

However, this pattern changes somewhat when it comes to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki thought of Uchiha Madara and Nagato, whom he had seen before.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, this world has had a second pair of Rinnegan. Including the pair before us, it is undoubtedly due to the power of the Devil Fruit consumed by Kaguya Otsutsuki, which has been dispersed along her bloodline.

If he had eaten the fruit in the first place, this would never have happened.

Kaguya Otsutsuki not only betrayed the Ōtsutsuki Clan, but was also a disgrace to the Ōtsutsuki Clan!

But then again, if Kaguya Otsutsuki hadn't made that mistake, he wouldn't have found such a good vessel.

As long as we can plant a wedge for Uchiha Shingen, we can discard Jigen as a vessel.

But the performance still has to be performed.

It's not to keep out ants, it's to keep out that Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki knew very well that Hagoromo Otsutsuki had been holding back a lot of tricks to honor his mother, and if he were to reveal that he was still alive at this moment, all those tricks could be used on him.

"What you're so proud of is just a tiny fraction of divine power. Let me show you," said Ōtsutsuki Isshiki seal.

If Jigen used to seem like a weirdo with bizarre tattoos, then he started to seem like he was on drugs.

The stripes on his face became thicker, and the most significant difference was that his head had changed shape, with a spiraling horn growing out.

The power of the Ōtsutsuki Clan finally began to change Jigen's body from its external form.

This is the so-called Karma II form, which is actually the result of the Ōtsutsuki Clan power exceeding the body's normal tolerance limit. As a result, it begins to exhibit the physical characteristics of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, which is a manifestation of the body being deeply eroded.

At this point, the container, in terms of biological type, was not much different from a Ōtsutsuki Clan.

However, from Uchiha Shingen's perspective, he inexplicably thought of the Ox-King.

The version of A Chinese Odyssey.

"I've been a ninja for many years," Uchiha Shingen said seriously after appraising the other's new appearance. "I've seen plenty of strange-looking people, but you're the only one who can coil up their horns and spin around like that."

If he weren't an Ōtsutsuki Clan, he would have immediately gone back and granted himself internal retirement, claiming he'd lost his mind and was no longer fit to Hokage.

The Susanoo, whose surface was covered with blue flames, began to dissipate.

What effect Susanoo have on the Ōtsutsuki Clan? Uchiha Sasuke from the original timeline had already demonstrated that, so Uchiha Shingen certainly wouldn't go and get hit a few times himself.

Although this is not Kaguya Otsutsuki created White Zetsu to deal with her own kind.

It's always better to be careful.

"Not using that technique anymore? That's a rational decision." Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had already completed his form upgrade, saw Uchiha Shingen's actions and affirmed the latter's caution.

The Ōtsutsuki Clan does use techniques; techniques are merely a skill. However, the Ōtsutsuki Clan's advanced Chakra research technology gives them more options.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki favored fists and feet.

With a slight hunch, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki rushed towards Uchiha Shingen at a speed far exceeding that of Jigen before.

But at that very moment, Uchiha Shingen raised his hand.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's fist paused for a brief moment.

Then it was fired anyway.

Its power is no less than any other Ninjutsu.

Uchiha Shingen in front of him was blasted to pieces by this punch, and the fragments revealed their true form - sand.

But in the blink of an eye, the sand was swept even further away by the force of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's punch.

With a single punch, a path was cleared through the forest.

Uchiha Shingen, ignoring the passage created by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and had already formed Fire Release imbued with Senjutsu Chakra.

The most commonly used Fire Release by the Uchiha Clan is, of course, the Great Fireball.

Uchiha Shingen's favorite techniques were Majestic Destroyer Flame and Great Fire Dragon.

The former is convenient for cleaning the ground, while the latter is convenient for combining with the Kagutsuchi.

The power of the Great Fire Dragon is more concentrated, making it more suitable for attacking individual targets.

The effect is even better if Senjutsu Chakra is added.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki calmly turned around, his eyes fixed on the Great Fire Dragon that was almost pouncing on him.

The next moment, the fiery dragon that had been obscuring his vision vanished.

Uchiha Shingen kept a close eye on it; he was certain that this was not Chakra- absorbing ability like the Preta Path.

On the ground, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki pushed off with his foot and soared into the air.

Uchiha Shingen noticed the movement of his left hand.

Although Ninjutsu was invented by humans in this world, as long as it uses Chakra, the basic principles are there, and many things can still be reasoned using the logic of Ninjutsu.

For example, the movement of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki has obvious guiding characteristics.

Uchiha Shingen's figure vanished immediately.

Instead, a rain of black Chakra rods fell from the sky.

The black Chakra rod, having lost its target, vanished again before it even hit the ground.

The Ōtsutsuki Isshiki remained suspended in mid-air.

He recalled what had happened before.

"You can see me?" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki didn't turn around; he raised his left hand. "Or is it because of me?"

"What do you think?" Uchiha Shingen wasn't focused on the other person's hands anymore. "You've eaten the Chakra Fruit? Which Ōtsutsuki Clan are you?"

The Chakra rods are the mark of the Kekkei Mōra, Uchiha Shingen wouldn't mistake them.

Uchiha Shingen believed that the Ōtsutsuki Clan was powerful, but he didn't believe that the Ōtsutsuki Clan Chakra Kekkei Mōra.

This shows disrespect for the Chakra Fruit.

In other words, the Ōtsutsuki Clan's training path likely involved constantly planting trees and eating fruit.

"You know a little about us." Ōtsutsuki Isshiki somewhat surprised. He turned around. "There are still traces of us left on this land. As descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki, you haven't forgotten what you shouldn't have forgotten."

"Are you Ōtsutsuki Isshiki?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

The Kaguya Otsutsuki was quite distinctive.

Based on Uchiha Shingen's extensive experience, he would only speak in this tone to someone who had betrayed him.

"You've successfully piqued my interest," said Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. "I'm almost convinced you've seen that woman, if not for knowing her true nature."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the Great Fire Dragon that had just disappeared suddenly reappeared, bringing the heat back to the sky. However, this time, its target was Uchiha Shingen.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki then swept towards Uchiha Shingen along with the flames.

This time, he made the same gesture with both hands.

Chapter Twenty: Kaguya's Excitement

Seeing the fiery dragon rushing towards him, Uchiha Shingen didn't seem to feel anything.

After all, this is clearly a smokescreen.

From the perspective of Kaguya Otsutsuki in the original timeline, when Ōtsutsuki Clan and who can throw bricks.

The reason it's described as superficial is because they have also trained their Chakra to an extremely high level; Kaguya Otsutsuki's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack is the best example.

It looks like just Ora Ora, but the Chakra released in each punch is at a level that 99.999% of people could never achieve in a lifetime.

There's nothing we can do; they live a long life, and they don't have any other hobbies, they just focus on training their Chakra.

Despite his doubts, seeing the Great Fire Dragon about to strike him head-on, Uchiha Shingen Kagutsuchi first.

The fiery dragon immediately circled around him.

But Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had vanished without a trace, and his powerful Chakra had also disappeared without a trace.

Something was definitely fishy.

Uchiha Shingen Chakra from all the acupoints in his body, Chakra membrane expanded.

Even without the Byakugan, Uchiha Shingen couldn't copy the Hyuga Clan's Rotation, but he could still learn their Chakra membrane.

As the Chakra membrane continued to expand, the Great Fire Dragon controlled by Kagutsuchi dissipated in mid-air—before figuring out what abilities Ōtsutsuki Isshiki possessed, Uchiha Shingen would absolutely not risk absorbing Chakra that had already been handled by his opponent.

[Shingen, this is the Dōjutsu of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Sukunahikona. It can shrink all non-living things, but he himself is the only exception. He's trying to burrow into your body.]

Kaguya Otsutsuki's voice suddenly rang in Uchiha Shingen's mind.

Dōjutsu?

Oh wait, why is Kaguya suddenly synchronized?

[Is it really him? But he looks like he's eaten Chakra Fruit?]

[Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's status is higher than mine, and I may have consumed him before. His abilities are indeed very troublesome. I will give you a hint... He's here, on your left.]

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shingen didn't hesitate and unleashed a solid Shinra Tensei to his left.

Since tangible escape techniques can be shrunk.

What about the invisible force field?

As he unleashed Shinra Tensei, he activated Flying Thunder God once more.

The design of the Flying Thunder God Seal can theoretically be carried by any physical object.

In other words, this also includes Chakra constructs.

The Susanoo that had previously "dispersed" was actually granulated and infused with the Flying Thunder God Seal by Uchiha Shingen, then dispersed into the surrounding air.

These tiny Susanoo particles can flow with the air, making them more concealed than the normal Flying Thunder God seal carrier.

Since Ōtsutsuki Isshiki can shrink himself to the point where he can enter another person's body, I wonder if he will be able to detect the Susanoo particles in the surrounding air.

As Uchiha Shingen teleported once more, the power of his Shinra Tensei was just beginning to be unleashed in the sky.

The repulsive force pushed the air, quickly forming a violent hurricane that even caused the clouds in the sky to move. The storm swiftly and decisively flattened an entire forest, and the extremely rapid and violent airflow caused a mournful howling sound to echo in the sky.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki reappeared, enduring the power of Shinra Tensei. Although he was forced to retreat continuously, he managed to withstand it.

Having changed his position, Uchiha Shingen couldn't help but feel puzzled as he watched this scene.

Why did Ōtsutsuki Isshiki need to return to its original size?

Uchiha Shingen felt as if he had discovered a weakness in this technique, if that could be considered a weakness.

The celestial phenomenon brought about by the Shinra Tensei quickly ended, and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Chakra became even "brighter".
