Reunited After a Thousand Years / Isshiki Otsutsuki Tells Himself Not to Panic

But before that...

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki expressionlessly took out new clothes and pants, and then put them on in front of Uchiha Shingen.

Although the Tailed Beast Ball had blasted him black, he felt his elegance returned once he put his clothes back on.

That "everything is under my control" aura returned to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

Uchiha Shingen found it somewhat amusing; he suddenly realized that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Uchiha Sasuke had quite similar personalities.

Uchiha Sasuke Uchiha Mikoto that night, but the next morning he would feel like he was invincible again.

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Shingen lowered his head again.

"Let's get things sorted out properly," he said to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. "We have plenty of time."

That was so much fun! Don't stop, keep playing!

"Uchiha Shingen, I have seen through your abilities," said Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

Despite being beaten, as a noble Ōtsutsuki Clan, he wouldn't let the beating go unpunished.

"I've already seen through your Dōjutsu," Ōtsutsuki Isshiki seriously. "What do you call it?"

The hobby of naming things isn't unique to ninjas; even the Ōtsutsuki Clan are no exception.

"If I can't beat you to death, will you take my surname?" To avoid an awkward silence, Uchiha Shingen came up with a suggestion on the spot.

The effect is probably not good, because Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's expression is really sour.

"Accept my gift to you," said Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

He's made up his mind. If he tries to communicate with Uchiha Shingen again, he'll be an idiot!

Having abandoned futile actions, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki again took direct and straightforward action.

This time, however, he had something that looked like a black hole in his hand.

The black hole he used during his spatial teleportation has the same properties.

Uchiha Shingen saw this, but acted as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual about Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's hands.

He charged Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

A standard, Super Strength Punch collided with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's fist.

In an instant, a whirlwind swept through the land, which was already bald from being stripped bare, so the task fell to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

This time, he was hit so hard he spun like a top, flying a long way as he went.

Same recipe, same taste.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was truly dumbfounded.

Chapter Twenty-Four: A Reunion After a Thousand Years

As a proud Ōtsutsuki Clan, what is he most proud of?

It's not about strength, of course; after all, they're Ōtsutsuki Clan, so it's expected that they're strong.

What this group is most proud of, and what they believe is fundamentally different from other races, is their mastery and study of Chakra.

Like his fellow clansmen, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki believed himself to be someone who had mastered the true essence of Chakra, a being of a higher civilization, and that he would eventually become a god.

The natives of this planet only acquired the ability to use Chakra by sheer chance.

After being sent flying by Uchiha Shingen once again, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki lost his elegance.

He was starting to lose his composure.

The proud Ōtsutsuki Clan don't care about physical injuries, but they will remember the emotional wounds for a lifetime.

How could this be? There's no Chakra at all!

Absolutely impossible!

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was no stranger to Dōjutsu; space-time abilities could cancel each other out.

Why does this law fail?

"Is something like this surprising?" Uchiha Shingen laughed.

Ninigi-no-Mikoto never stopped his research.

Unlike the relatively singular Flying Thunder God Ninigi-no-Mikoto has better derivative abilities, and more importantly...

Flying Thunder God Ninigi-no-Mikoto is about remaining still while the enemy moves.

The stronger a person's reflexes, the stronger their Flying Thunder God technique.

But Ninigi-no-Mikoto depends on her imagination.

Thanks to him for watching so many anime series on his first playthrough; the world of anime truly is a treasure trove.

This application can be called "Infinite." As for who it copied, well, that person wasn't in Hokage, so here it's considered original.

It could also be said that it drew inspiration from Uchiha Fugaku's "Boundless Heaven and Earth".

Space-Time Ninjutsu can indeed cancel each other out, but that's a one-to-one relationship; one cannot cancel out Infinite.

Ultimately, it's because Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is too crippled now, still stuck in the realm of gods, on par with Uchiha Shingen.

Relying on the "Infinite" convenience, Uchiha Shingen recklessly Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. Having lost his advantage in speed and strength, the outcome was far more than a 50/50 match.

After a thousand years of martial arts battles, ninjas have perfected their Taijutsu. With comparable average abilities, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's skills are simply no match for them.

He quickly realized this.

Finally, seeing that Uchiha Shingen had an opening, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki immediately launched a punch, but Uchiha Shingen suddenly turned to the right and kicked Ōtsutsuki Isshiki back with a "bang".

They sent me a classic face-plant landing.

Uchiha Shingen had given up on the idea of killing an Ōtsutsuki Clan with a critical hit; he decided to whittle it down little by little.

As the saying goes, "Many grains of sand make a tower," and "Little by little, much can be accumulated." With perseverance, even metal and stone can be carved.

After being slammed into the ground by Uchiha Shingen's back once again, creating a Ōtsutsuki Isshiki gave up on the idea of competing with Uchiha Shingen in hand-to-hand combat.

He finally decided to quit.

He wouldn't come looking for Uchiha Shingen again until he found a way to break Uchiha Shingen's technique.

With this technique in place, his Dōjutsu is useless.

Even using Chakra as an argument is unreliable. Uchiha Shingen did have a chakra bar, but the current Ōtsutsuki Isshiki isn't much better.

There's no point in staying any longer; he can't subdue Uchiha Shingen, Uchiha Shingen can't kill him either.

But his pride kept him lingering for far too long.

Not only Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Uchiha Shingen also sensed someone approaching.

Before the person even arrived, the overwhelming spiritual power had already overflowed, to the point that it affected the natural environment.

Throughout the entire Hokage world, there is only one person with such outrageous mental strength.

Sensing the approaching, overly aggressive animals, the two stopped what they were doing and looked west.

Even in broad daylight, dark clouds had already gathered over there.

If you look closely, you'll see that it's not a dark cloud.

It was a large piece of Truth-Seeking Orb that had transformed into a flying carpet.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's insight far surpassed that of Uchiha Shingen; he saw the person on it.

Since he started fighting Uchiha Shingen, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki has unlocked many expressions, but none of them are as expressive as this one, which can be described as -- "Worry, damn it!"

Who did he see!?

It's that wretched woman Kaguya Otsutsuki!

When did she run away?

A large Truth-Seeking Orb hovered above their heads. Kaguya Otsutsuki stared intently at her old friend whom she hadn't seen for a thousand years, her pretty face displaying a playful expression.

"Isshiki, it's been a long time." Kaguya Otsutsuki's voice was full of joy. "I've been looking for you for so long, do you still remember me?"

You caused me to lose half my body, and to make matters worse, Jill is gone too. Do you remember?

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki felt he had found the answer.

No wonder Uchiha Shingen so outrageous.

It turns out that the source of his power was Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"Isshiki, it's rare for you to come to my door so willingly, so let me escort you to your peaceful rest," Kaguya Otsutsuki chuckled. "You must have raised another little Ten-Tails, hiding it in your alternate dimension, right?"

"Kaguya Otsutsuki, you know the consequences of betraying your clan." Ōtsutsuki Isshiki ignored Kaguya Otsutsuki's sarcastic tone. "You know it's impossible to get a second Ten-Tails from me, don't you?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki was not bothered by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's threat; she had clearly thought things through before she made her move.

She looked at Uchiha Shingen.

"Shingen, you've made very good use of the eyes I gave you."

She also witnessed Uchiha Shingen's actions through vision sharing.

To be honest, it was completely beyond her expectations.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki the more powerful Ōtsutsuki Clan. Although he is now crippled, he is not someone that any ninja in this world could easily suppress.

The way Uchiha Shingen used the Ninigi-no-Mikoto was also very familiar to her.

Kaguya Otsutsuki had already recognized Uchiha Shingen's methods, and she became even more certain of her judgment of Uchiha Shingen.

"Mother, is this guy Ōtsutsuki Isshiki?" Black Zetsu poked his head out from Kaguya Otsutsuki's sleeve.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki, you truly are a disgrace to the clan. You can't even use a Karma seal properly," Ōtsutsuki Isshiki sneered. "Making this mediocre thing, are you planning to keep it as a pet?"

Black Zetsu stated that he disliked Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

He is clearly Mother's child.

"Kaguya, you two have a good chat. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave now," Uchiha Shingen suddenly said.

After fighting Ōtsutsuki Isshiki for so long, he was quite certain that he was not as strong as Kaguya Otsutsuki, even though the latter had lost the Ten-Tails.

Even if he misjudges, it won't matter.

After all, Kaguya in this state is essentially just a clone.

The same applies to the original timeline.

"You've worked hard, Shingen." Kaguya Otsutsuki smiled, her eyes narrowing. "Isshiki, your grand entrance... is it the main family that's here?"

Chapter Twenty-Five Ōtsutsuki Isshiki tells himself not to panic.

Upon hearing the title "Master, "Uchiha Shingen, who had originally planned to return and criticize Namikaze Minato, stopped in his tracks.

He'd heard of the Main Family, he'd heard of branch families, but the main family? What the heck?

Although he hadn't watched Boruto, he knew about the movie. Although he hadn't watched many of them, he also knew that there was an Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon, although only a few of them remained.

And it has an exceptionally large Byakugan.

Whether the world depicted in the movie actually exists or not, Uchiha Shingen couldn't confirm. He had never been to the moon, but he had been to the Land of Wind, where he hadn't heard anyone mention anything about dragon veins.

Since there is insufficient evidence to refute it, he can only assume that those things exist for now.

As descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki, the Byakugan on the moon still use Ōtsutsuki Clan as their surname and are divided into the Main Family and branch family, just like the Hyuga Clan on Earth.

No one knows Hyuga Clan began designing its main and branch families. Uchiha Shingen personally speculates that it may have been inherited from the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

After all, it's impossible for Hamura Otsutsuki to go to the moon alone and have a whole family of children; he must have brought them from Earth.

As for the Ōtsutsuki Clan that they inherited, it doesn't refer to the ones on the moon, but rather to the real Ōtsutsuki Clan who live in outer space and roam among the stars—that is, the origin of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Uchiha Shingen had never met Hamura Otsutsuki, but he had met Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Although Hagoromo was a stubborn old man, to be honest, if he could serve Kaguya Otsutsuki together with this stubborn old man, Hamura Otsutsuki probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to design the main branch family system.

Essentially, this is a very special organizational system. Hyuga Clan the Hyuga family as an example, the Main Family and the branch family are not as irreconcilable as outsiders think. In daily life, there is not much difference between the two.

However, this system is certainly not the original version; it should be something with a more specific purpose. If it were simply about protecting bloodlines, there would be many other ways. Logically speaking, it should have been designed for a more important purpose.

Uchiha Shingen believed the most plausible guess was that the original clan system of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was a set of procedures that served the Ōtsutsuki Clan's planting of trees and harvesting of fruit everywhere.
