"Senpai, have you not noticed that this planet is somewhat strange?"
"The energy of this planet also seems somewhat eerie."
Urashiki did not know why Kitagawa Gen changed the topic so quickly, but this happened to be exactly what he was curious about.
"It seems to have been devoured by the God Tree, yet it is still full of vitality, and even the planet's energy is recovering. What is going on?"
"Because this planet has already had a God Tree planted on it."
Kitagawa Gen laughed. His hand moved behind his back, and a Truth-Seeking Orb had already fallen onto him.
"Otherwise, how would this planet have become like this?"
"Already planted…"
Kitagawa Gen's words made Urashiki frown.
"Could it be that Isshiki wants to plant again, and now he is waiting for Kaguya's resurrection? No, that is not right."
Urashiki indeed felt something off. If that were the case, then why had the Ten Tails' power been split apart?
And why was Isshiki's failed Kāma acting wildly? Where had Kaguya gone?
And what did this brat's "reverence" and "emotion" mean?
[Buzz—]
However, while Urashiki's mind was still continuously thinking, in the next moment he sensed something wrong.
He turned his head, and at an unknown moment a black ninja blade had appeared in Kitagawa Gen's hand, and it instantly swung toward him!
"What!?"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's pupils instinctively contracted. He had completely not expected that a fellow clansman would attack him.
And he had even less expected that this guy's speed would be so fast, and that his movement would be so decisive?
"Damn!"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki cursed inwardly. Now it was too late to do anything; he could only clench his teeth and instantly force his chakra outward.
A red chakra membrane appeared on his body in an instant, and at the same time the fishing rod in his hand immediately lifted to block.
But Kitagawa Gen's slash was simply too fast, and also far too unexpected. Under that enormous force, he could not block it at all!
In an instant, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki became like a cannonball, fiercely crashing toward the distance.
[Boom!]
[Rumble—]
His body violently smashed into the rocky mountain, and in an instant the entire mountain was crushed by the impact!
Huge rocks continued to fall from high above, and when they struck the ground, they rumbled without pause like an earthquake.
And his body was still crashing backward at high speed. The continuous mountains could not withstand his strength, collapsing one after another.
Only when the final mountain peak shattered did he finally slam hard onto the ground!
[Boom—]
There was another loud sound, and the ground was smashed by him into a pit hundreds of meters deep.
...
"Damn it."
Inside the small town of Kirigakure, several figures were fighting frantically.
And the more they fought, the more chaotic they became, and the more confused they became as well!
"What exactly are we even fighting?"
The three of Kisame and the people sent by Orochimaru had an extremely clear goal, which was to capture the Six-Tails jinchūriki Utakata.
As for Mei Terumi and her group, they needed to protect Utakata. A battle between them was simply unavoidable.
However, while they were, on this "vital and flourishing land where all things surged," "jointly contributing to the grand event"…
Suddenly, another strange fellow appeared and "launched heavy attacks" toward all of them!
This person did not wear a forehead protector and looked completely deranged, and his combat ability was even extremely lacking.
He only attacked using brute force!
But the fatal part was that his speed and strength were extremely exaggerated, and he also possessed a space ability that allowed him to move freely across the battlefield.
The battle between Kirigakure and the Akatsuki could not possibly stop, and they could not ignore this strange person either.
For a time, their battle situation became especially tense.
'Who in the world is this guy?'
Mei, while dealing with the attacks from the Akatsuki's side, could not help looking toward that madman at the side.
Most of the Anbu who had followed her had already died at his hands, and Ao and Chōjūrō were also appearing extremely battered under the encirclement of those Akatsuki members.
'If this continues, things will become bad.'
Mei thought inwardly, but she soon had no time to think further, because Kimimaro's bone spike once again came stabbing toward her.
And at the most chaotic moment, Obito's figure also quietly appeared here.
At this moment he had already changed his outfit. He had put his mask back on, and his entire body was once again completely covered.
His scarlet Sharingan eye stared at everything below, but the situation below was not good.
"Why are all of them here?"
Obito frowned slightly. That mentally unstable "Evolver" was carrying out indiscriminate attacks, and the Six-Tails was actually here as well!
He had originally wanted to use this "Evolver" to see whether he could attract Ōtsutsuki Genshiki, and along the way bring Kitagawa Gen over.
But now, like this, it had directly turned into a complete mess!
"This is really troublesome."
Obito felt somewhat dazed. He was already thinking about whether he should personally enter the field and "snatch people" before Kitagawa Gen arrived.
However, at this moment—
{Boom—]
A loud sound suddenly erupted in the sky. In an instant, the dense mist immediately dispersed, and bright moonlight shone directly onto the ground!
Everyone who was fighting felt as if the entire space suddenly shook, and then that terrifying shockwave and deafening sound rushed toward them.
[Boom—]
All of them could not stand firm at this moment. The invisible shockwave knocked all of them down to the ground.
Almost at the same time, the upper half of the distant mountain peak seemed to be struck by something, and the massive mountains collapsed one after another before their eyes.
"What—what is going on now?"
"This kind of power… what happened?"
Watching the enormous falling rocks slam fiercely onto the ground, watching the originally towering peaks break directly apart—
Their minds buzzed endlessly. At this moment they were all completely stunned.
[Whoosh—]
However, just as they were stunned, a figure suddenly shot up from underground, then stopped in midair and let out an angry roar.
"Ōtsutsuki Genshiki! What are you doing? How dare a junior like you offend me like this?!"
"I told you already, Isshiki-senpai is truly a pioneer."
This voice echoed through the heavens and earth, but everyone's hearts only felt cold.
Ōtsutsuki Genshiki.
This name was not unfamiliar to any of them. He was truly someone who existed like a God.
Then who was the one fighting him?
Before they could think further, an incomparably dazzling golden light flashed past, illuminating the gloomy night as brightly as midday in midsummer.
That violent chakra made everyone's hearts tremble, and a cold voice echoed across the sky once again.
"I have already met Isshiki-senpai, and I also greatly admire everything he has done."
A golden light blade swung out, but it was quickly blocked by a red object that looked like a fishing rod.
But the one who made the defense was sent flying backward again, as if tearing the air apart!
"He killed his clansman, devoured the fruit, and even hid himself completely. If not for my luck, I truly would not have found him."
Golden light flickered. Kitagawa Gen's figure flashed, and the golden sword in his hand followed through with a slash.
That sword, carrying a brilliant divine might, made Ōtsutsuki Urashiki feel as if he could not dodge, and that vast power was already pressing down onto him.
[Puh—]
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was once again sent flying backward. He stared at his chest in disbelief; a gap had already been cut open there.
This left his expression somewhat confused, because he did not understand what Kitagawa Gen was talking about, and he also had not expected to be injured!
"What exactly are you trying to say."
"Do you still not understand your own situation?"
Kitagawa Gen let out a sharp laugh. The Truth-Seeking Orbs behind him instantly appeared again and completely fused into the golden sword in his hand.
"Isshiki has already broken the rules, and everything he has done has pointed me toward my path forward."
As he spoke, Kitagawa Gen's gaze swept across the ground. Only then did he laugh and continue loudly.
"Nurturing a fruit requires devouring a clansman. In that case, why should I not skip this step?"
"Nurturing a fruit… skip this step?"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was stunned. What was this bastard talking about?
"That's right!"
Kitagawa Gen looked somewhat excited, and the smile on his face grew even brighter.
"A clansman is also our 'long stairway to godhood.' Isshiki-senpai did it, so why can't I?!"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki froze. Isshiki also did it?
"And I should thank you, Senpai, for traveling all this way to verify my guess."
At this moment Kitagawa Gen withdrew his smile. His golden sword pointed directly at Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
"Then, Senpai, for the dream shared by me and Isshiki-senpai, please go in peace!"
"Hiss—"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki truly felt this guy was insane. He gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "You really think you have me cornered? And you actually dare to treat your clansman like this?"
"A very strange question."
Kitagawa Gen tilted his head. In an instant, his figure vanished, and when he reappeared he was already in front of Urashiki.
"When you are eating a snack, would you show any attitude of treating a clansman?"
