Above the town ruins.
After receiving the message from Orochimaru via 'Jikibi', Shinji was stunned first, then smiled bitterly in secret.
Orochimaru's worry was obviously somewhat redundant.
Although Isshiki Otsutsuki's condition was very poor and chakra consumption was also severe, Shinji really didn't have a means to settle Isshiki Otsutsuki once and for all.
Because he had tried repeatedly in secret, Isshiki Otsutsuki indeed had resistance to his 'Goshingū'.
As for the reason, he inferred it was mostly Isshiki Otsutsuki's dojutsu 'Daikokuten'.
'Daikokuten' was one of the dojutsu of Isshiki Otsutsuki's Kokugan. Previously, Isshiki Otsutsuki used 'Daikokuten' to attack Toneri and Karin with giant black cubes.
However, the ability of 'Daikokuten' was not only to take items at will. More importantly, 'Daikokuten' connected to a different dimension where time was frozen. Those giant black cubes summoned by Isshiki Otsutsuki previously were actually taken from this different dimension where time was frozen.
So Isshiki Otsutsuki's 'Daikokuten', to some extent, was a space-time dojutsu biased towards the time domain.
Perhaps precisely because of this, Isshiki Otsutsuki possessed certain resistance to Shinji's 'Goshingū'.
Don't look at Isshiki Otsutsuki being embarrassed now. As long as Shinji's 'Goshingū' didn't work well, Shinji actually had no way to settle Isshiki Otsutsuki once and for all!
At this time, Isshiki Otsutsuki sensed for a moment.
Turns out he returned from the different dimension to the Land of Rain battlefield in the Ninja World not to flee, but to pursue the little Ten-Tails' chakra. So he didn't even look at the situation on the town ruin battlefield below, immediately sensing the location of Shion who sealed the little Ten-Tails.
A few breaths later, he looked in a direction: "Over there!"
Obviously, he had already sensed Shion's detailed location at this moment.
Swish...
Accompanied by a screeching wind-breaking sound, Shinji pounced on Isshiki Otsutsuki!
Seeing through Isshiki Otsutsuki's mind, he naturally wouldn't let Isshiki Otsutsuki find Shion and reclaim the little Ten-Tails.
Seeing Shinji pounce over, Isshiki Otsutsuki roared: "Damn it!"
Instantly, the two fought into a ball, hitting so hard that even sparks seemed to rise in the air.
Bang...
Fists collided fiercely. A burst of explosions was instantly stirred up in the air. Immediately after, under huge impact force, the two flew backwards respectively!
The moment Shinji and Isshiki Otsutsuki appeared, Sasuke who activated Perfect 'Susanoo' noticed. And now seeing Isshiki Otsutsuki repelled by Shinji flying towards his side, Sasuke was instantly overjoyed: "Watch me!"
Saying this, he mustered all pupil power to urge his 'Susanoo', shooting an arrow towards Isshiki Otsutsuki.
At the same time.
Shinji, who was also repelled, happened to retreat towards Hiruko and Ranmaru's area.
"Good chance!" Seeing 'A' retreating with back facing his side, Hiruko instantly had an idea, shouting: "Ranmaru, let's attack together!"
Ranmaru looked at Hiruko with surprise, the expression on his face as if looking at an idiot!
However, at this time he was too late to stop Hiruko. Hiruko who had already activated 'Swift Release' rushed out long ago, pouncing towards 'A' retreating towards their side.
In the air.
"'A', you didn't expect to die in my hands, right!"
Hiruko stabbed towards Shinji's back with a ferocious smile.
And at this time, Shinji's gaze had been locked on Isshiki Otsutsuki. Although he showed various disdain on his face, the wariness towards Isshiki Otsutsuki in his heart remained consistent.
So when seeing Sasuke trying to sneak attack Isshiki Otsutsuki from behind, his face changed instantly: "Stop!"
Swish...
At this time, the arrow of Sasuke's 'Susanoo' swept up with a storm, pointing directly at Isshiki Otsutsuki's back.
For Isshiki Otsutsuki who possessed a Byakugan, there was no so-called blind spot at all. Front and back were no different. Unless it was a super close-range sneak attack, or entangled by a strong enemy with no time to attend to others, leading to forced errors, otherwise he wouldn't be successfully sneak-attacked at all.
Sure enough.
Before the arrow shot by Sasuke's 'Susanoo' reached Isshiki Otsutsuki, Isshiki Otsutsuki easily dodged this arrow by shrinking himself with 'Sukunahikona'!
"!?"
Looking at Isshiki Otsutsuki disappearing out of thin air, Sasuke was stunned on the spot.
The next instant, Isshiki Otsutsuki flashed angrily in front of Sasuke. With just a flying kick too ordinary to be more ordinary, he easily penetrated Sasuke's awe-inspiring Perfect 'Susanoo', kicking Sasuke together with Naruto just rescued by Sasuke flying away.
Isshiki Otsutsuki, who solved Sasuke with a turn of his hand, didn't even look at Sasuke again, turning his head to look at Shinji in the distance.
At this time, Shinji only swayed slightly, dodging Hiruko attacking from behind. Then reaching forward with his right hand, he easily grabbed Hiruko's neck, lifting Hiruko up.
"You..."
Hiruko, whose neck was pinched by Shinji, instantly had a flushed face, unable to even catch his breath.
At this time, he had no prestige of an Akatsuki member anymore. In Shinji's hands, he was as weak as an infant less than a year old.
On a dilapidated high building.
Watching this scene, Obito's face was incredibly solemn: "Is the gap this big?"
Zetsu on the side also felt sympathy.
Don't look at Isshiki Otsutsuki being suppressed and beaten by 'A', extremely embarrassed as if defeat was right before his eyes. But someone as strong as Sasuke who opened 'Six Tomoe Rinnegan' trying to sneak attack Isshiki Otsutsuki was also kicked flying by Isshiki Otsutsuki with one foot.
Similarly, a top powerhouse in the Ninja World like Hiruko sneak attacked 'A' from behind, resulting in being grabbed in hand by 'A' casually like beating an infant.
In the ruins on the ground, Sasuke spat out a mouthful of blood, panting heavily for a while before catching his breath.
Subsequently, he looked blankly at Isshiki Otsutsuki in the air, his face full of disbelief.
He didn't understand how the opponent dodged his arrow just now, nor did he understand why the opponent could easily pierce his Perfect 'Susanoo' with one blow.
"How is this possible!"
He roared, wanting to get up and fight again.
Haku flashed in front of Sasuke at this time, stopping Sasuke, shaking his head at him: "Don't act rashly, we are not Otsutsuki's opponents!"
"But..."
Sasuke was unwilling.
Clearly watching Shinji and Isshiki Otsutsuki attack each other, the opponent seemed just so-so. Why did it feel completely different once he got involved?
Others scattered on the town ruin battlefield, after seeing the consequences of Sasuke and Hiruko trying to intervene in the battle between Isshiki Otsutsuki and 'A', all understood that Isshiki Otsutsuki and 'A' were existences completely beyond their level. Others simply didn't even have the qualification to intervene.
