Orochimaru looked thoughtful. "You mean... something like Kara?"
"Similar, but it might not go by that name. Focus on any leads connected to the name Jigen. This may be the identity or vessel Isshiki is currently using," Sōkyū Hatake offered a crucial hint.
"Understood!" Orochimaru and Mayuri Kurotsuchi took note.
"As for Urashiki Otsutsuki," Sōkyū Hatake looked toward the flickering signal markers along the edge of the star chart, "he's more likely to be active. Momoshiki Otsutsuki has been captured, and Kinshiki Otsutsuki is dead. If he does exist and is their accomplice, he couldn't have failed to notice anything. He may try to investigate the truth behind Momoshiki's disappearance or accelerate his own plans. Focus surveillance on several fronts:"
"First, check all ancient ruins, shrines, and sealing grounds connected to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki or the Otsutsuki for any recent reports of abnormal energy fluctuations, spatial disturbances, or missing persons."
"Second, check whether the major shinobi villages' Jinchūriki, or individuals with unusually vast amounts of chakra, have been subjected to unidentified surveillance or attacks. Urashiki's fishing rod seems particularly fond of chakra."
"Third, closely monitor the area around Rōran, especially the energy fields and spatial stability near the laboratory. He may try to infiltrate or spy on us."
"Fourth," Sōkyū Hatake paused, "launch the causal information flow tracing project. Using Momoshiki Otsutsuki's blood and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's cells as a basis, try to capture even the faintest causal echoes or information traces related to the two concepts of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Urashiki Otsutsuki within the Shinobi World's vast ocean of information."
Orochimaru's and Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyes lit up. Using Momoshiki and Kaguya as beacons or templates to conduct large-scale scanning and matching on a more abstract informational level was undoubtedly an imaginative and potentially effective approach! Although the workload and technical challenges
