That golden light really had come from the moon. Uchiha Yi might even have fought his way up there.
But how had Uchiha Yi become so terrifyingly powerful? He had even awakened the Rinnegan. Hagoromo Otsutsuki, did your Chakra reincarnation have some kind of cheat!?
For some reason, Black Zetsu felt that Uchiha Yi might one day surpass even Hagoromo Otsutsuki at his peak. He had to pick up the pace.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi plan could not be allowed to fail!
But Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan still had not fully developed! Black Zetsu was miserable about it, though he could not say so aloud.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Fire, a monk gazed intently toward the moon. He was Jigen, the man Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had possessed. By now, little remained of Jigen's freedom of will; Isshiki controlled him for the most part.
If Jigen's body had not been so useless, Isshiki would have resurrected through it long ago.
Isshiki knew that Hamura Otsutsuki's descendants lived on the moon. In fact, whenever he had tried to sow chaos in the Shinobi World over the years, they had quickly noticed, and a beam of golden light would descend from the heavens.
That made Isshiki especially wary. He was not too concerned about the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon. They bore the Ōtsutsuki name, but not all Ōtsutsuki were equal. They might be far superior to the natives of the Shinobi World, but they were nowhere near a pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki like him.

Hagoromo in particular had become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and his strength had faintly surpassed Isshiki's
