Shinjutsu: Divine Concealment duration countdown: 150 days.
In the starry cosmos, meteors and the vast river of stars shone against one another.
Not far away, three streaks of light flew into the distance.
Urashiki occupied the center, with Momoshiki and Kinshiki following on either side.
It was clear that, after successfully proposing a new plan, leadership of the three-man team was gradually passing to Urashiki.
"Urashiki, how much farther is that Life Planet you mentioned?" Momoshiki asked gravely.
On the far right, the silent Kinshiki could not help pricking up his ears as well.
"Not much farther." A faint, ambiguous smile lingered on Urashiki's lips. "But before we reach the Life Planet, shouldn't we discuss something?"
"Who exactly will be sacrificed to the Ten-Tails Sapling?"
"In other words, shouldn't we decide who on our team is going to die?"
At this point, Urashiki stopped, his entire body shrouded in a gauzy robe shaped from purple chakra energy, which even tinted his white Ōtsutsuki-style robe purple.
Momoshiki and Kinshiki both stopped as well, dark red and bright red barriers appearing one after another.
The atmosphere turned murderous. For a moment, the three remained at an impasse, their invisible auras surging in confrontation.
As everyone knew, the Ten-Tails Sapling needed a living Ōtsutsuki as a sacrifice to become a God Tree. This decision also meant that one of the three of them would have to sacrifice himself.
And this reality brought the small measure of warmth and trust they had finally developed by facing Shibai together to the brink of collapse.
"We haven't even caught sight of the Life Planet yet. Isn't it a little too early to discuss this?" Momoshiki said coolly.
Urashiki: "..."
Too early?
Who in the Ōtsutsuki Clan did not know that Kinshiki obeyed every one
