Whoosh.
Space-time shifted.
Minato had already brought several people back to Konoha, arriving behind Kimimaro.
Kimimaro was currently interrogating Otsutsuki Kihane.
Calling it an interrogation was generous. Kihane looked so weak that a single slap could probably kill him.
So they merely had him sit in a chair as a formality.
When Minato appeared, Kimimaro immediately turned around.
"Kimimaro, Natsuki has already grievously wounded this Kyokushiki. Keep him restrained."
Kyokushiki's body was covered in Sealing Jutsu markings, while a Bone Blade was embedded in the center of his chest.
Seeing the Bone Blade in Kyokushiki's chest, Kimimaro looked surprised. "How does Lord Natsuki know All-Killing Ash Bones?"

A sensation of shared blood instantly arose, and he immediately poured Withered Power into it.
Kyokushiki retched, blood immediately spilling from his mouth.
"Kimimaro, don't kill him. He may still be useful. I'll go bring Lord Orochimaru over later," Minato instructed.
As long as High-level Otsutsuki were not killed outright, they recovered extremely quickly.
However, with a Bone Blade infused with Withered Power lodged in his chest, his regenerative energy instinctively resisted the foreign intrusion.

Kyokushiki's indignation was only half genuine. Though he could no longer control the energy in his body,
he still bore the Body-Burning Karma Seal placed on him by Lord Yōshiki. In other words,
