"Those damned monkeys! How dare they leave me in such a sorry state!"
Utterly exhausted, Urashiki clutched the turtle and stumbled into view at the edge of the void. His Byakugan gazed at the distant Shinobi World, filled with hatred and humiliation.
"Lord Urashiki Otsutsuki, we have successfully returned to the world where the God Tree resides..."
The turtle-shaped Space-Time Sacred Tool slowly reported:
"Lady Kaguya Otsutsuki's descendants were unfortunately swept into the turbulent flow of space-time. Their current whereabouts are unknown..."
"Shut up! None of that matters!"
Urashiki angrily interrupted the turtle's report. He couldn't care less where those monkeys had been dumped, as long as they stayed out of his way.
"Warning. Energy depleted. Entering hibernation..."
The turtle withdrew its head and limbs, and the Sacred Tool Kama returned to its original form. Urashiki stuffed it back into his sleeve, his gaze still fixed on the Shinobi World.
The priority was finding the God Tree!
His sole mission was to take the God Tree away. An Origin God Tree nearing maturity would earn him endless power and Chakra Fruits from the main clan!
Although he was still in contact with Momoshiki Otsutsuki and his servant Kinshiki, and could easily summon them, Urashiki was brimming with confidence. He believed he could handle this himself and had no intention of sharing the credit that was almost within his grasp.
"...Tch. Why are there so many traces of the God Tree in this damned place?"
Urashiki gritted his teeth in fury. The God Tree's traces scattered throughout the Shinobi World were too numerous and tangled, making it impossible for him to pinpoint Shingetsu's location.
After all, Shingetsu wasn't the only God Tree to have existed in the Shinobi World's thousand-year history.
