"Wait, wait!" Urashiki Otsutsuki's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly held out a hand to stop Shinji from attacking.
"Oh? Is there something else you want to say?"
Urashiki Otsutsuki fell silent, deep in thought.
He said...
He didn't like the Otsutsuki Clan?
As a long-lived species, all they had to do was keep planting God Trees. Eventually, they would have a chance to rise through the ranks and receive a Chakra Fruit of their own.
To achieve eternal life!
A superior species like that!
And he didn't like them?
Urashiki Otsutsuki was furious at first. Then he froze, his expression shifting.
Could it be...
Shinji Uchiha was an "exile"?
An exile—
That was what the Otsutsuki Clan called someone who had betrayed their homeworld over a thousand years ago, had yet to be captured or killed, and had killed another member of the clan.
Someone like Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Except...
Kaguya had been rather foolish.
Otherwise, she could have crossed the universe, hunting down Otsutsuki one after another. After all, someone like her, who had swallowed an entire Chakra Fruit whole...
Would be considered powerful even on their homeworld.
At that thought,
Urashiki's expression shifted.
He ventured, "Lord Shinshiki, I also know the whereabouts of several other Otsutsuki. If you wish, I could lure them here for you to capture. How does that sound?"
Shinji looked puzzled. "But what use would I have for captured Otsutsuki?"
"..."
Urashiki Otsutsuki stood frozen. A moment later, delight appeared on his face. "The Ten-Tails! They can be sacrificed to the Ten-Tails! You could even give me my eyes back, and I'll bring them to the Shinobi World! Then you'll have sacrifices for the Ten-Tails!"
Shinji rubbed his chin, frowning slightly. "But you sensed it too. I only have this one Ten-Tails..."
Thud!
Urashiki
