"What?! You encountered an enemy from the Ōtsutsuki Clan!"
Orochimaru immediately stood up in shock. He knew the Ōtsutsuki Clan existed, but he had thought they were all still drifting through outer space and would not arrive in the Shinobi World for who knew how long.

"Hashirama Senju was called the God of Shinobi, yet he was only at Super-Kage level. Doesn't that mean Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is stronger than
