Inside the temple, Kinshiki and Urashiki were being burned and ravaged by the black flames.
Kinshiki's red ring dimmed in the flames as he unleashed a continuous stream of Chakra to resist the burning black flames.
However, the black flames ignited a new wave of Chakra, creating even more black flames.
If it weren't for this confined space Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki would have had a million ways to get rid of this disgusting and annoying black flame.
However, within the space enclosed by the wall of light, the black flames can burn anything.
There was nowhere to hide.
Urashiki consumed a Rinnegan, causing his strength to surge, but the black flames were still burning him.
Amaterasu stood in the center of the black flames, looking at the Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki.
The two of them naturally noticed Amaterasu entering this space.
"You inferior deity! Quickly put an end to these disgusting flames!"
Amaterasu did not answer.
She merely glanced back in the direction of the temple's exit.
His eyes were filled with resolute determination and endless longing.
Kinshiki Otsutsuki sensed something was wrong and immediately shouted angrily.
"What are you up to?"
Amaterasu finally spoke, her voice low and filled with boundless hatred.
"You keep calling people of inferior bloodlines gods. You treat the people of our planet like dirt."
Now let me, a lowly deity, summon you to your deaths!
As soon as Amaterasu finished speaking, countless black flames surged from her body.
Unlike the black flames that filled the temple, the black flames emanating from Amaterasu's body were even more violent.
Urashiki Otsutsuki could tell at a glance that this newly formed black flame posed a significant threat to him.
He was about to reprimand her when he saw the woman opposite him engulfed in black flames.
The humanoid black flames ignited the black flames throughout the entire temple.
The strange occurrence of flames igniting another flame left Urashiki Otsutsuki momentarily bewildered.
In an instant, the entire temple was enveloped by the newly formed black flames.
As Kushinadahime watched the wall of Natural Energy suddenly tremble violently.
Within the wall of light, the black flames ignited Natural Energy and began to spread outwards.
She suddenly sighed softly, then hurriedly mobilized more Natural Energy to form a wall of light.
What happened inside the temple naturally did not escape the notice of Hoshimasa and Madara Uchiha, two people with special eyes.
Amaterasu, within the temple, used her own life to form a unique flame.
They used this special flame to deliver a fatal blow to the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
The black flames burned ever brighter and brighter, and even the outer barrier of light could hardly contain them.
Hoshimasa sighed and turned to look at Kushinadahime.
"Let them go. If these flames aren't dealt with soon, they'll spread and burn the entire Takamagahara to the ground."
Kushinadahime nodded slightly. She knew that Amaterasu's black flames could burn anything.
If this black flame is allowed to spread, not only Takamagahara, but the entire planet will likely be burned to ashes by the terrifying flames.
With a flick of her wrist, the light barrier that had been trapping the temple vanished in an instant, and the suppressed black flames within erupted once more.
Shinsei had already unfurled a scroll and was rapidly Hand Seals.
Sage Art, Fire Sealing Method: Flame Seal.
A massive amount of raging black flames, like a whale sucking in water, all fell into the scroll in Shinsei's hands.
Shinsei quickly formed another Hand Seals, sealing away all the black flames.
Fortunately, there are unique Ninjutsu like Sealing Jutsu.
Otherwise, this terrifying black flame would be really difficult to deal with.
This is no ordinary black flame, nor is it the kind of flame that Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke created with their Mangekyō.
Rather, it is the special flame formed by the original owner of this ability with their life.
The black flames went in, and the battlefield became clear again.
The once magnificent temple has vanished without a trace.
A huge crater formed in the original spot.
The area around the crater was covered in bright red lava.
Two strange figures were kneeling on the lava.
Their clothes had been burned away by black flames, and their skin was showing signs of ulceration.
As expected of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
It possesses such powerful vitality that it has managed to remain in the black flames for so long.
Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Urashiki Otsutsuki were barely clinging to life.
However, their Chakra was exhausted.
Shinsei held the Kusanagi Sword to their necks, the tip of the sword pressed against their skin.
Kinshiki's chest was still smoking, and half of Urashiki's face was burned beyond recognition.
The two knelt beside the lava at the bottom of the pit, their breathing heavy and rapid.
Shinsei looked down at them, the white light of the Kusanagi Sword illuminating their two festering faces.
"Tell me, whose orders brought you to this planet?"
Kinshiki raised his head; his eyes were burned down to slits, yet a chilling killing intent still emanated from them.
"A god of inferior bloodline, dares to interrogate the Ōtsutsuki?"
Shinsei smiled, stretched out his left hand, and slapped Kinshiki Otsutsuki across the face.
With a sharp crack, Kinshiki Otsutsuki stumbled.
Answer my question.
Kinshiki grinned. The smile pulled at the burns on his face, making him look even more ferocious than before.
"You think killing us will end it all? This planet has been marked."
The Ōtsutsuki Clan knows its location. If you kill us, our main clan will send someone within three years.
If it's not someone like me who comes, you'll all die.
We will kill every life on this planet!
Let's plant all the Natural Energy here into God Tree!
Urashiki coughed a few times beside him; his voice was much weaker than Kinshiki's, but his tone was just as harsh.
"You're having such a hard time even fighting the two of us. When the Isshiki comes, you won't even have a chance to make a move."
Shinsei didn't speak; he looked down at the two of them. What Kinshiki said did seem somewhat credible.
Kushinadahime's prophecy already mentioned Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
Kinshiki is saying now is simply adding a three-year timeframe.
Is it a three-year term?
Kinshiki had already made his position very clear. Urashiki, on the other hand, looked like he was resigned to his fate.
Shinsei pressed the sword against Kinshiki's neck. Kinshiki did not dodge.
He closed his eyes, muttering some kind of curse under his breath, probably in some kind of their family language.
Shinsei is preparing to take action.
He was going to finish them off. But just as he raised his sword, a hand pressed down on Kinshiki's head.
"Wait a moment."
It's Kushinadahime.
She had somehow climbed down from the edge of the pit and was standing beside Shinsei.
Her right hand rested on Kinshiki's forehead, and her left hand rested on Urashiki's forehead.
Her Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is spinning, its patterns like a flowing river.
"What are you doing?" Shinsei asked.
"Give them intelligence."
Her fingers glowed with a silvery-white light, which seeped from her fingertips into the minds of Kinshiki and Urashiki.
Kinshiki's body suddenly stiffened.
His eyes opened, his pupils dilated, and his body struggled incessantly.
His mouth opened, as if he wanted to curse, but no words came out.
Kushinadahime's fingers were moving, as if she were turning the pages of an invisible book.
Page after page. Kinshiki's face was contorted, but his will had been suppressed.
Urashiki even worse; he was already barely clinging to life, and after Kushinadahime pressed her hand on him, he didn't even have the strength to struggle.
His pupils began to dilate, and his lips moved silently.
Shinsei stood by and watched. He didn't stop Kushinadahime.
He knew what she was doing; she was reading their memories.
After about ten breaths, Kushinadahime withdrew her hand.
"How was it?" Shinsei asked.
After a moment, Kushinadahime reached out and a ball of white light appeared in her palm.
"These are the memories of two Ōtsutsuki Clan. Would you like to view them?"
Shinsei shook his head. Who knows if Kushinadahime's hidden hand is hidden in this memory?
We have three years.
Kinshiki wasn't lying; his family did mark the planet, but the marking wasn't done when they arrived.
It's been there for a long time. When Kaguya defected, the main family already knew the location of this planet.
They didn't come because the God Tree is still there. The God Tree is still growing, and the fruit is not yet ripe, so they are not in a hurry.
" The God Tree is gone now."
"Although the God Tree is gone, the Ōtsutsuki Clan has to face more than just our planet."
"What about the Isshiki?"
Kushinadahime remained silent for a moment.
" Isshiki wasn't sent by the family; he came on his own."
He wasn't even at the very top of his own family, but he was far superior to Kinshiki and Urashiki.
In Kinshiki's memory, Shiki Isshiki leveled three planets; he didn't need the God Tree.
He himself is the reaper.
Shinsei glanced down at Kinshiki and Urashiki at his feet; the two were completely still.
When Kushinadahime absorbed their memories, she also drained their last bit of spiritual energy.
Their bodies were slowly getting cold.
With a casual wave of his hand, Shinsei caused two flames to ignite on the bodies of Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Urashiki Otsutsuki.
Kushinadahime's abilities are too bizarre; Shinsei won't leave these two corpses to him.
Who knows if he will resurrect them and turn them into two Six Paths Level puppets again.
The matter was finally resolved, and Shinsei breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Madara Uchiha to the side.
" Madara-senpai, I'm going home now, taking Kaguya with me."
What are your plans?
Shinsei's words caught Madara Uchiha.
He certainly understood what Shinsei meant.
Strictly speaking, he and Shinsei are still enemies now.
Back in their original timeline, the two still have to have a showdown to decide who has the ultimate say in the Shinobi World.
But should I really go back now?
Ryūchi Cave, there lived his two children.
Madara Uchiha looked at Inadatenhime, who was standing to the side, and Inadatenhime also looked at him.
Inadatenhime didn't speak, but her complex gaze seemed to tell Madara Uchiha everything.
Madara Uchiha looked at Shinsei and sneered.
"It's none of your business. I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
Shinsei shrugged; he could tell that Madara Uchiha wasn't planning to go back so soon.
He found new bonds in this world.
This is normal, since Madara Uchiha has no relatives left in his own timeline.
He had almost no friends.
Now he's gotten a wife and twins for free here.
Oh, and I also got a pair of twins.
That's alright then.
" Madara-senpai, in that case, I'll take my leave."
I hope that when you come home, we won't be enemies.
Madara Uchiha coldly, neither saying yes nor no.
Shinsei extended a Chakra Threads from his left hand and wrapped it around the fishing rod that had fallen to the ground.
He was just about to use the Chakra Threads to slide the fishing rod into his hand.
But then they saw the fishing rod vanish like Utakata.
Kushinadahime turned to look at Shinsei, a half-smile playing on her lips.
Well, it seems I'm not the only one eyeing this unusual fishing rod.
It's no longer realistic to try and take back the fishing rod.
Kushinadahime's illusion abilities are so powerful that even the Rinnegan cannot see through them.
God knows where he hid the fishing rod.
Left with no other choice, Shinsei could only wave goodbye.
"Farewell then, no need to see me off."
When Shinsei returned to Shikkotsu Forest, it was already dark.
He walked through the familiar crevice in the stone, across the bottom of the bluestone valley, where the pool of water still shimmered with silver light.
The Katsuyu Sage was coiled by the pool, its tentacles swaying gently. Kaguya sat on a stone platform, holding Hamura in her arms, while Hagoromo rolled around beside her.
She heard footsteps and looked up.
Upon seeing that it was Shinsei, she stood up, and Hamura almost slipped out of her arms.
"You're back."
"You're back."
Shinsei walked over, took Hamura from her, hugged her, and then looked down at Hagoromo.
Both children opened their eyes and reached out to touch Shinsei's face.
He put Hamura back, sat down next to Kaguya, and recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Urashiki, Amaterasu's black flames, Kushinadahime's prophecy, three-year term, main family.
He spoke plainly, without embellishment or avoiding the danger.
After listening, Kaguya remained silent for a long time.
She looked down at the faces of the two children, her fingers gently tracing the forehead of the woman in the Hagoromo.
Then she looked up at Shinsei.
"You asked me before if I would go back to your time with you. Does that still count?"
"Count."
Kaguya's face lit up with a bright smile, and she spoke with anticipation.
"Let's go then."
Shinsei scratched his head but didn't get up immediately.
Kaguya's eyes dimmed.
"If you don't want to take me home, that's fine too. I'll live here with the children."
"That's not how it works."
Shinsei hurriedly waved his hand.
"I'm thinking about how to explain this to them."
Kaguya was somewhat confused. She had never experienced anything like this before, so of course she didn't understand Shinsei's current predicament.
Shinsei only thought about it for a moment before deciding to put it out of his mind.
There's always a way out; who cares?
He stood up, walked to the edge of the pool, and the Katsuyu Sage's tentacles reached out in his direction.
Are you leaving?
"I'm leaving now. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days."
The Katsuyu Sage was silent for a moment. Her antennae swayed gently.
"No need to thank me. I'm not so bored when you're around. The 'me' in your timeline is probably waiting for you too. Say hello for me when you get back."
Shinsei smiled.
Yes, it will.
The Katsuyu Sage remained silent, simply observing Shinsei quietly.
Shinsei turned around and walked to the stone platform.
Kaguya had already wrapped the two children in cloth. She carried one on her chest and the other on her back.
She stood at the cave entrance, waiting for Shinsei.
Shinsei closed his eyes and mobilized the Dragon Vein energy within his body, which belonged to Xiaobai.
A white dragon head emerged from his shoulder and let out a soft cry.
The spacetime portal slowly opened upon sensing the movement. The coordinates stabilized, and the turbulence dissipated.
He reached out and took Kaguya's hand. Xiaobai let out a soft groan, and white light enveloped the three of them.
The next moment, Shinsei, Kaguya, and the two children all disappeared from the Shikkotsu Forest.
The Katsuyu Sage looked at the empty stone cave and the traces of their past life, and sighed softly.
I don't know when we'll see each other again.
