"Dimensional Ascension?" Minato and Itachi both looked thoughtful, but those two words were merely a term.
As for what they specifically meant, they didn't understand either. After all, they weren't even Star God Positions.
Itachi asked, "Before joining the Divine Court Clan, what faction did you belong to?"
A nostalgic look appeared on Kihane's face. "I was a descendant of the Kubai Star God beneath Takamagahara."
Without waiting for Itachi to continue questioning her, Kihane spoke up. "Three thousand two hundred years ago."
"My sister and I found a planet with fairly decent resources at the edge of the Divine Court Clan's territory."
"We happened to run into members of the Divine Court Clan."
"My sister's and my guardians were all killed. Because our abilities and rules were rather special, the Divine Court Clan lacked such rules."
"So we were captured. Over a thousand years ago, Isshiki forced my sister to become his guardian and leave with a barrier to search for suitable planets."
"He planned to feed my sister to the God Tree and see whether the fruit it bore could inherit her abilities."
Minato's expression turned slightly strange. "Isn't Meishiki's ability similar to yours?"
Kihane sneered. "That old man merely has an aging ability. He's nothing like us."
"How is it different?"
Kihane extended a finger. Before everyone's eyes, a section of bone gradually grew into shape, then steadily aged and decayed until it finally turned to ash.
"We do not merely cause aging. Our clan's ability is to catalyze life, then make use of the traits of every stage of its existence."
"To be precise, our ability contains the power of the Cycle of Life and Death."
"So it belongs to the life-and-death type."
Everyone thought of how Kimimaro's bones were all grown from his own body
