After discovering the pheromones permeating the air, Shinji floated into the sky and looked down at the base of the Divine Tree.
"As expected..."
His pupils constricted slightly, and he sighed softly.
Similar to his guess, the outer periphery of the Divine Tree's base was already piled up with rings of the Reproduction Hegemon's flesh puppet remains. These flesh puppet remains, like small mountains, were layered upon one another. At first glance, they looked like a large ring of mountain ranges surrounding the Divine Tree.
"Truly exaggerated!"
Looking at these rings of flesh mountains piled up from corpses, Shinji couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Moreover, he also noticed that a new model of flesh puppet seemed to have appeared among the remains—a type of flesh puppet larger and more terrifying than the previous ones!
Fortunately, no matter how strong these flesh puppet were, they were ultimately just flesh and blood bodies, so Shinji's Truth-Seeking Balls could still suppress them for the time being, preventing them from approaching and damaging the Divine Tree.
Soon, Shinji returned to the top of the Divine Tree and gently placed his hand on the Divine Tree's branch.
Through the Divine Tree's feedback, Shinji obtained a more real and detailed situation of 'T33'. After weeks of internal and external attacks, the rate of decline of 'T33's spatial barrier exceeded the model predictions of 'Glory' Alice and 'Greedy Wolf' Hengo.
The current 'T33' simply couldn't hold on for one or two years, or even half a year.
At most, in another two or three months, cracks would appear in the spatial barrier here. At that time, the Reproduction Hegemon's power would directly invade, just like during the time when the 'Demon Slayer World' finally headed toward destruction—apocalyptic phenomena appeared in the sky, and everything began to collapse and disintegrate!
However, from Shinji's personal standpoint, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Because with the collapse of 'T33', his Divine Tree could absorb the planetary energy here faster. The lengthy absorption that might have originally taken decades or even centuries might be completed in just a few months during this time of world collapse and apocalypse.
Turning around to look at the surroundings, watching the originally lush 'T33' gradually falling into withering, Shinji sighed softly: "I will make your sacrifice worthwhile... hopefully!"
...
Shinobi World, Hidden Leaf Village.
Although influenced by Eida's Charm, Tsunade still retained her basic judgment ability. So after bringing the siblings Eida and Daemon back to the Hidden Leaf, she designated an extra area for Eida and Daemon to live in and strictly prohibited idlers from approaching.
And in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, only Naruto, as the reincarnation of Otsutsuki Asura, had certain resistance to Eida's Charm, so Tsunade arranged for Naruto to be responsible for hosting the siblings Eida and Daemon.
A few weeks later, Amado took the initiative to come to the Hidden Leaf.
Inside the Hokage's Office.
Tsunade frowned: "You're saying both Eida and Daemon were modified by you?"
"Mm!"
Amado smoked a cigarette and nodded lightly.
Utatane Koharu asked: "How can you prove it?"
Amado directly spoke about Eida's Charm ability and stated that all Hidden Leaf shinobi who had come into contact with Eida had already fallen under the Charm's effect.
"This..."
Utatane Koharu panicked for a moment.
Tsunade was much calmer.
Because she had long sensed something was wrong, but Eida's Charm was a Shinjutsu effect that happened imperceptibly. Even as the Hokage, she could only faintly sense something was amiss but couldn't find the cause.
Now hearing Amado's explanation, she suddenly realized that the strange feeling that had been lingering in her heart all stemmed from Eida's Charm.
Amado said: "So I'm not worried that your Hidden Leaf will harm Eida and the others."
Tsunade said: "Then what is your purpose in coming to our Hidden Leaf?"
"I hope to take Eida and Daemon away!" Pausing for a moment, Amado said: "In essence, they are still just a pair of ten-year-old children, so I'm worried someone will use them to disrupt the shinobi world!"
Tsunade pondered.
Utatane Koharu spoke up: "Why should we trust someone like you who has served Otsutsuki Isshiki?"
Mitokado Homura on the side also said: "If Eida and Daemon's abilities can really disrupt the shinobi world, then they should stay in the Hidden Leaf even more!"
Hearing this, Tsunade agreed: "Correct, them staying in the Hidden Leaf is at least much safer than staying by your side!"
Amado took a drag of his cigarette, then requested: "Can you let me see them?"
"No!"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura objected in unison.
In their view, Amado's own suspicion hadn't been cleared. The Hidden Leaf not interrogating him immediately was already exceptionally lenient; how could they allow him to come and go freely in the village?
Tsunade, however, nodded: "Okay, but we can't let you see them alone."
Not long after, accompanied by Tsunade, Amado arrived at the large mansion where the Hidden Leaf had settled the siblings Eida and Daemon.
Seeing Amado arrive, Eida didn't seem surprised at all: "You're here!"
Amado sat down opposite Eida: "Are you two willing to come with me, or stay in the Hidden Leaf Village?"
Eida stretched lazily: "Here there is food that doesn't repeat, various styles of new clothes, and a comfortable bed. Except for that idiot Naruto being a bit stupid, there's nothing bad here!"
"Alright!"
Amado didn't say anything more.
Because Eida possessed Shinjutsu, as long as she herself wasn't willing, Amado felt that in the current shinobi world, apart from 'A', no one could force her to do anything.
Thinking for a moment, Amado then asked: "I have a few questions I want to ask you."
Eida said casually: "Go ahead!"
Amado asked in a deep voice: "Was Otsutsuki Isshiki really captured alive by 'A'?"
Hearing this, Tsunade on the side narrowed her eyes, because this question was also something she wanted to know.
Eida nodded: "Mm, at that time the battlefield's space was sealed by 'I', so Otsutsuki Isshiki couldn't escape."
"Space seal..."
Learning this answer, Amado revealed a thoughtful expression on his face.
In the intelligence he collected using the Kara organization, under 'A's command, only 'B's strength was slightly stronger, while the others were not worth mentioning.
As a result, in this great battle, the combat power under 'A's command completely exceeded his expectations, and the Kara organization was almost completely beaten.
Taking a deep breath, Amado continued to ask: "Is Otsutsuki Isshiki dead?"
Eida didn't know whether Otsutsuki Isshiki was alive or dead, but since she had promised Amado, Eida activated her Senrigan preparing to observe Otsutsuki Isshiki's situation.
"Eh..."
Soon, Eida let out a soft exclamation of surprise.
Seeing Eida's expression of surprise and doubt, whether it was Amado or Tsunade, or even Daemon on the side, all asked: "What's wrong?"
Eida's face was somewhat ugly: "My Senrigan can't find them!"
