All three looked at Xuandou at once-
As the clan head of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family, he would generally have to spend long periods in the main family.
This allowed him to coordinate the interests of its various members.
Whenever he occasionally had time to spare, he would either pursue greater strength or search for new life planets to obtain God Tree Fruits.
This meant that the probability of encountering the Ōtsutsuki Clan's head here, in this remote star region to which two teams had already been dispatched, was infinitely close to zero, if not nonexistent.
Thus, the first reaction of Momoshiki and the other two was: this clan head was an impostor.
Their second reaction was: a chance to earn great merit had arrived, and they could not miss it.
The three had only just departed from the main family after accepting the mission to retrieve the God Tree Fruit, yet Xuandou's actions had left them unable to locate the Shinobi World. They were particularly delighted.
Before this, they had suspected that Isshiki and Kaguya might be too powerful for them to complete their mission.
They had suspected that the God Tree Fruit had already been eaten, and that other unforeseen circumstances might arise...
Never had they imagined that the greatest difficulty of this mission would actually be finding the Shinobi World first.
Faced with this, even the three of them, with their wealth of experience, seasoned methods, peerless combat prowess, and ample means and strength, were helpless.
Even the best cook could not make a meal without ingredients.
Whatever they intended to do, they first had to reach the Shinobi World. Now that they could not even find its exact location, and with the universe stretching endlessly, none of them could find any trace of Isshiki or Kaguya.
