"You!?"
Isshiki Otsutsuki turned around abruptly, staring fiercely at Toneri Otsutsuki who suddenly attacked him from behind.
While stirring the golden sword in his hand, Toneri Otsutsuki said coldly: "I am Akatsuki's 'Z'!"
"What!"
Hearing this, Isshiki Otsutsuki felt like being struck by lightning.
He had thought of many possibilities in his mind, but never thought Toneri Otsutsuki was actually an Akatsuki member under 'A's command.
How could a dignified Otsutsuki kneel so easily and serve others as master?
Even Isshiki Otsutsuki himself currently only recruited Toneri Otsutsuki as an ally, not yet attempting to make Toneri his subordinate.
And before successfully sealing the Ten-Tails, 'A' was fundamentally not Toneri Otsutsuki's opponent.
Even if 'A' went to the moon immediately after completing the seal of the Ten-Tails, a shocking battle would have erupted between the two!
A battle between two 'Six Paths Level' beings, even if he was in the Ninja World, he would definitely notice something. Moreover, he had been to the moon, there were no traces of a 'Six Paths Level' battle. So he really couldn't understand when exactly 'A' subdued Toneri Otsutsuki so easily, and in what way.
Suppressing his astonishment, Isshiki Otsutsuki immediately activated the dojutsu 'Sukunahikona', instantly shrinking the golden sword in Toneri Otsutsuki's hand to a degree indistinguishable to the naked eye.
"!?"
Watching the golden sword disappear suddenly, Toneri Otsutsuki was stunned for a moment.
Shinji did mention Isshiki Otsutsuki's abilities to him before, but he didn't expect the golden sword condensed with nine 'Truth-Seeking Balls' would also be affected by the opponent's dojutsu.
Swish swish swish...
And in the instant Toneri Otsutsuki was stunned, more than a dozen black rods appeared on his body without warning, nailing various meridian hubs all over his body.
Then, he received a fierce kick from Isshiki Otsutsuki. His whole person was kicked flying like a cannonball, ploughing a deep ditch hundreds of meters long on the ground before barely stabilizing his figure.
Swish...
At this time, Shinji from the opposite side attacked. Isshiki Otsutsuki, caught off guard, took a few punches. Subsequently, the two started a taijutsu offensive and defensive battle.
After a burst of mutual attacks, both sides retreated from each other.
"Huff huff..."
Shinji panted heavily, his expression under the mask incredibly solemn.
Isshiki Otsutsuki's taijutsu cultivation completely exceeded his expectations. Even if the opponent solidly took a hit of Toneri Otsutsuki's 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion', even if he sneak attacked and seized the initiative, he still didn't gain any advantage in the mutual attack just now.
Isshiki Otsutsuki was somewhat exasperated.
He was plotted against again!
The betrayal by Kaguya Otsutsuki last time made him sink in the Ninja World for thousands of years. Now having finally completed reincarnation and restored to peak condition, before even fighting 'A', he was betrayed and plotted against by Toneri Otsutsuki again!
Looking down at his abdomen which had difficulty healing for a long time, his face became even gloomier.
For him who had recovered to full strength, ordinary injuries were not worth mentioning at all. As long as chakra was sufficient, he could recover in an instant. But for some reason, the abdomen pierced by Toneri Otsutsuki's 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' was slow to heal. And even now, that scorching burning sensation still lingered!
Then he glanced at the battle situation.
In the distance, Toneri Otsutsuki squatted halfway on the ground, seemingly not recovered yet.
Toneri Otsutsuki's brief stun before not only lost all the initiative brought by the sneak attack but also got hit by more than a dozen black rods urged by Isshiki Otsutsuki using 'Sukunahikona'. The chakra in his body was severely interfered with, and he had been forced to exit 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode'.
After all, Toneri still suffered from lacking 'Six Paths Level' combat experience.
Plus Isshiki Otsutsuki chose this different dimension as the battlefield, harboring the thought of isolating Toneri Otsutsuki's connection with the moon.
This move was originally just a precaution by Isshiki Otsutsuki, unexpectedly, it really came in handy.
Scanning to the other side, Isshiki Otsutsuki looked at 'A': "Whether taijutsu or chakra, both are at the top level of the Ninja World. Worthy of the guy who could win the Fourth Great Ninja War and snatch the Ten-Tails..."
Regarding 'A', Isshiki Otsutsuki gave a very high evaluation.
Except for genuine Otsutsuki, the opponent was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered, but that was all.
If not for being plotted against by Toneri Otsutsuki's 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' just now, losing a large amount of chakra, he was confident in taking down the opponent without damage.
Compared to descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki like 'A' and Toneri Otsutsuki, he, Isshiki Otsutsuki, was the Otsutsuki who truly plundered planetary energy.
Moreover, he also had an incredibly precious Kokugan!
The dojutsu 'Sukunahikona' that just shrank Toneri Otsutsuki's 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' to be invisible to the naked eye was the pupil technique contained in this Kokugan.
The ability of 'Sukunahikona' was to shrink and restore objects seen by Isshiki Otsutsuki. The only limitation was that except for Isshiki Otsutsuki himself, this pupil technique could not take effect on other living creatures.
In other words, the golden sword in Toneri Otsutsuki's hand didn't disappear just now, but was shrunk to the extreme by 'Sukunahikona', so it looked like it disappeared out of thin air.
At this time, Shinji shouted: "'Z', are you okay, can you still fight?"
"I'm fine!"
While speaking, Toneri pulled out the black rods on his body one by one with difficulty.
"Hmph!"
Isshiki Otsutsuki snorted coldly. Then exerting force under his feet, shattering the ground within a range of more than ten meters with a 'bang', he relied on the reaction force to rush fiercely in front of Toneri Otsutsuki.
Toneri, who still had a few black rods left too late to remove, had to meet him seeing this.
Although the two sides were hundreds of meters apart, due to Isshiki Otsutsuki's speed being too fast, he rushed in front of Toneri in almost a breath's time.
Knowing the opponent's strength, Toneri dared not be careless, engaging with full force, swinging a punch fiercely.
However, just the moment Toneri's fist was about to hit Isshiki Otsutsuki, Isshiki Otsutsuki suddenly disappeared out of thin air with a 'swish'.
"Space-time dojutsu!?" Toneri was stunned first, then realized something, crying secretly: "Bad..."
The next instant, Isshiki Otsutsuki who dodged Toneri's fist appeared abruptly again, punching Toneri's body.
Bang...
Accompanied by a low muffled sound, Toneri was knocked flying again.
Without the blessing of the Giant Tenseigan, Toneri Otsutsuki's taijutsu was similar to Naruto after the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War in the original timeline, and that was under the condition of activating 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode'.
Now Toneri in the different dimension, having neither the blessing of the Giant Tenseigan nor being in 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode' due to the black rods, fell into passivity instantly when encountering Isshiki Otsutsuki whose speed and strength far exceeded his...
