After Jigen cut off communications with Victor,
his expression grew somewhat solemn. What Victor had shown him was Otsutsuki script.
In other words, the other party had revealed his identity.
He was an Otsutsuki Clan member!
This strike against Konoha had been a spur-of-the-moment decision by Jigen, yet it had led him to discover that there was another Otsutsuki on this planet.
Naturally, he could no longer spare any attention for Amado's request. After all, he currently had no suitable vessel.
Jigen's vessel was already nearing the end of its usefulness.
But that Otsutsuki already had Natsuki as a vessel.
That vessel was incomparably perfect, practically tailor-made.

Even Urashiki's body had been intended to feed the God Tree.
