Uchiha Yi's words made Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju stare at each other. Eating his own eyes? Were there really people like that in the world?
That was downright insane! But on second thought, it was not entirely impossible to accept.
After all, they were Ōtsutsuki!
They were aliens! Whatever strange things happened with their bodies seemed understandable.
Momoshiki Otsutsuki felt what was happening to his body, and his heart sank. He knew he was unlikely to escape this time.
