"Listen to you. Why does that sound so depressing?"
Tetsuya couldn't quite understand it. Wasn't Isshiki supposed to be an early-stage minor boss in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations?
How had a boss ended up like this, without the slightest imposing presence?
"Depressing? Hahaha, I suppose it is, a little."
Jigen poured himself another glass of wine and took a sip before continuing.
"The power of the Ōtsutsuki Clan is beyond question, especially an Ōtsutsuki who has obtained the God Tree's full power.
Once Kaguya is released, she will be able to wield the God Tree's power directly. At that point, the entire shinobi world will fall under her control.
This planet's ultimate fate will be to become nourishment for the God Tree.
Once Kaguya drains this planet dry, I'll be the next one to die."
Tetsuya thought it over carefully. That really was how things stood.
From Jigen's perspective, there was currently no one in the shinobi world who could face a fully resurrected Kaguya head-on.
In fact, in the original story, even Naruto and Sasuke, with the cheats the Six Paths Old Man had given them, were no match for Kaguya in raw power.
They had only managed to seal Kaguya with help from Kakashi, Sakura, and Obito, along with all sorts of tactics and cheats.
From Jigen's perspective, Black Zetsu had already gathered six tailed beasts and the Rinnegan. With the shinobi world plunged into turmoil again, collecting the remaining three tailed beasts was only a matter of time.
Once he gathered all the tailed beasts, resurrected the Ten-Tails, activated Infinite Tsukuyomi, and freed Kaguya...
Kaguya would be unstoppable. Everyone in the shinobi world would eventually become nourishment for the God Tree. Once the shinobi world had been devoured down to the last scrap, he would be next.
