"Uchiha Makoto..."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face was pitch black.
To him, Uchiha Makoto's methods were crude; he simply activated the light and shadow to expose everything, forcing him into a battle.
They're just using force to lure him in; it's obvious they have a way to kill him!
When Ōtsutsuki Isshiki saw that Uchiha Makoto's side had gathered five Six Paths level cultivators who could be considered equal to him, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki knew he should hide.
Putting aside the fact that he would surely die in a fight against multiple opponents, even if he managed to seize the opportunity to plant his "Wedge" on someone in Uchiha Makoto, that person would probably be killed instantly!
Even though he tried to hide and set up some obstacles, Tengai Shinsei broke through them, forcing him to face the battle head-on!
'That damn bastard!'
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is now seething with rage.
He found these descendants of Kaguya to be incredibly cunning, having even considered the Pure Land technique – something he had never anticipated.
They used the remaining remnants of the civilization he had destroyed to plot against him!
After two thousand years of accumulation culminating in a single eruption, his battle today, barring external interference, would almost certainly have had a predetermined outcome!
But he wasn't without options!
"Is this your trump card?"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and gently wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, looking at the outstanding figures, but his expression remained extremely arrogant.
"You should know that they haven't even reached the edge of the Six Paths level, so how could they possibly defeat me?"
"You're all a bunch of losers, sealed away in the tomb of the civilization I once created. Now that you've been unearthed, do you think you can do something with me?"
Uchiha Makoto stood at the front of the group, sneered, and refuted Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's words.
How can you know the final result if you don't try?
"Our bloodline dictates that we are destined to be enemies to the death!"
"Each of them alone could not defeat you, but now that they are all together, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, even destroying the Shinobi World is only a matter of time!"
"Moreover, you hold the key to our next step forward!"
Uchiha Makoto's words were very straightforward: they were family, and there was naturally nothing to say to an "outsider" like Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!
Add to Isshiki the God Tree in Yishi's possession that could further enhance their strength, and his own flesh and blood—who else would they attack but you?
Uchiha Makoto had no intention of continuing to entangle with Isshiki. He simply pointed at Isshiki calm yet moving voice.
"This is a test, and also a direct screening of resource distribution!"
"The capable will rise, the mediocre will fall; your future depends on this battle!"
"Let's go together! I'll cover your losses!"
"Kill!"
Someone shouted, and in just a moment, almost everyone attacked Isshiki together.
Without testing or hesitation, they all decisively used their killer moves.
"Oh!"
Facing hundreds of attacks, Isshiki sneered dismissively and calmly raised his right hand, seemingly intending to block all the attacks with just one hand!
Countless offensive Ninjutsu flashed with dazzling light: Fire Style, Lightning Release, Storm Release, Boil Release...
They pushed their advanced Ninjutsu to their limits, creating spectacular scenes that ordinary ninjas could only dream of.
Thanks to the real-time lighting and shadows, even ordinary people in the Shinobi World can witness this scene that can be called mythical.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the center of the attack.
The attacks from those powerful figures gradually dissipated, leaving only a figure with a raised palm. His eyes were cold, and he slowly walked out, the curve of his lips seemingly mocking the weakness of the attacks.
"How is that possible!"
The pupils of the powerful figures contracted sharply, their faces filled with disbelief, as if they had been choked and could not utter a sound.
"This is not a power on the same level as ours!"
"Is this the power of the Six Paths level?"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, their expression shifting between anger and uncertainty as they looked at Isshiki, who appeared to be covered in tattoos.
Such power was truly beyond his comprehension!
This one ability of theirs has already rendered most of their methods useless!
How can we fight like this?
Close combat?
"Don't panic! We have equally powerful experts here!"
Someone spoke up to remind them, and another person glanced at the five calm and composed people behind them, and their heart, which had been hanging in suspense, returned to its original position.
The real players haven't even entered the fray yet!
"So they were just a bunch of rabble?"
With Isshiki wave of his hand, he summoned a Wind Release, scattering the dust that surrounded him.
"Your strength is indeed considerable, but unfortunately, it hasn't reached my level!"
"Your attacks are futile before me!"
As soon as Isshiki finished speaking, the expressions of all the powerful ninjas who made their living through Ninjutsu became extremely solemn.
The Hyuga Clan and Horn Clan are alright; they are naturally skilled in hand-to-hand combat, not Ninjutsu.
However, the Senju Clan and Hagoromo Clan were outmatched. The bias of their Kekkei Genkai meant that they had virtually no means to inflict effective damage on Isshiki!
They're no match for Isshiki; they can only take a beating!
"This is no longer a normal living being."
In the distance, Senju Tobirama, his expression somber, gazed at the seemingly invincible Isshiki and murmured, "He's Six Paths level cultivator! Even his near-death state can't change the essence of his strength!"
"If these are all the methods we have, we will be annihilated in an instant!"
Senju Tobirama looked at Uchiha Makoto, remaining silent.
He was waiting for Uchiha Makoto to have some means, at least to prevent them from falling into such a passive position.
"It seems we'll have to step in."
Kaguya Takeori observed the battle and frowned slightly.
The Pure Land, this trump card, has always been incredibly powerful and invincible in every era.
They are an artificially created invincible ninja team, but for non-ninjas, they are simply no match for a powerhouse of the Ōtsutsuki level!
Now that their trump card Pure Land, is mostly useless, it might really be time for them to make their move!
"No rush, we must trust the wisdom of our predecessors!"
"These guys aren't that weak!"
Uchiha Makoto held Kaguya Takeori's hand and spoke slowly.
But when he turned his head to look at the powerful figures watching him, a cold, sarcastic smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Old folks, times have changed!"
"You are all the most outstanding figures in the history of the Shinobi World, but before us, the progenitor-level Ōtsutsuki, only Taijutsu, Dōjutsu, Senjutsu, and even higher-level divine techniques and Kekkei Mōra are effective!"
The powerful figures fell silent. Currently, only the Uchiha Clan possessed eye Dōjutsu. Were they really going to try out that Isshiki, Taijutsu depths were unknown?
At that moment, someone from the Hyuga Clan marched straight forward to the center of the battlefield.
"Senjutsu? I have them!"
