Watching the direction Cha Uzumaki had flown off in, Uchiha Gen smiled even more happily.
"Land of Earth? Iwagakure? You hid yourselves pretty well, huh~"
The reason Uchiha Gen's attacks had been ineffective all along was that he had noticed this guy's purpose was too clear. He had practically planned his escape route from the very beginning.
This really wasn't Cha Uzumaki's fault. Who wouldn't run after encountering the final boss the moment they met? Shouldn't there have been a few minor mobs to crush first before facing the boss?
Cha Uzumaki couldn't figure out how Uchiha Gen had discovered him. After all, who could have expected the Land of Fire to have already unlocked the radar technology tree?
Time slowly passed. Uchiha Gen struck harder and harder, eventually fighting all the way above the Land of Earth.
The massive amount of attributeless Chakra appearing within his senses made Uchiha Gen freeze for a moment. Too lazy to keep attacking Cha Uzumaki, he stared straight below.
As far as the eye could see, the ground was covered in densely packed White Zetsu. Black Zetsu was attached to one of them, but the person beside Zetsu was even stranger.
"This guy... his Chakra is a little strange..."
He looked like an old monk, palms pressed together with a kind and benevolent expression, utterly harmless.
Yet beneath that outer shell, Uchiha Gen saw another appearance.
Chakra so immense that even the Tailed Beasts would be ashamed, along with that utterly composed demeanor.
"You're—Jigen?"
"Or... should I call you Ōtsutsuki Isshiki?"
The scene fell silent. Cha Uzumaki, who had been chased by Uchiha Gen all the way here, had already vanished while taking advantage of the opportunity. But Uchiha Gen had left a mental mark on him, so he was not worried
