Tenshiki ranked twenty-fifth in the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Although her strength was not much different from Isshiki's before him.
When it came down to it, her status was still slightly higher than Isshiki's.
But at the previous God Selection Meeting.
Isshiki had "stolen" the allotment for a second God Tree that should have belonged to her!
So.
She had resolved to reclaim her God Tree at this God Selection Meeting!
Challenges between God Selectors were rare.
The Root King immediately looked intrigued.
He turned toward Obito, who stood calmly among the crowd, and asked.
"Isshiki, what do you say?"
Obito slowly flew out of the crowd.
He bowed slightly to the Root King and said.
"Root King, I am willing to welcome Tenshiki's challenge with our clan's highest honor."
Excited cheers immediately erupted from the crowd.
"Whooo!"
The Ōtsutsuki Clan's highest honor.
Meant a battle that decided not only victory and defeat, but life and death.
The victor could dispose of everything belonging to the loser as they pleased, including the loser's life.
Kaguya's expression shifted slightly at those words.
Has he gone mad? Tenshiki is clearly stronger than she was a thousand years ago!
Momoshiki flicked his fan open, the corners of his mouth curling high.
"Heh, now we're in for a good show."
The smile on the Root King's face grew wider as well.
He turned toward Tenshiki beside him and asked.
"Tenshiki, what do you think?"
Tenshiki had not expected Obito to challenge her to a death match.
But she showed no fear, looking at Obito with a cold smile as she spoke.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish. I accept this fight to the death."
The Root King nodded slightly, clapped his hands, and said.
"Good. Then you two may begin."
"Hmph."
Tenshiki snorted
