A giant mechanical shark submarine emerged from the dark depths of the ocean, returning to the sunlit zone before quickly surfacing again. It opened its cavernous mouth, filled with sharp teeth, at the shoreline.
Staring at the colossal shark before him, the wild rabbit froze for a few seconds before its expression turned to sheer terror. It quickly turned and hopped back towards the forest.
The giant shark swiftly closed its mouth and submerged back into the sea.
Witnessing this, Izayoi couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a Divine Technique. If not for the fact that space-time could still detect it, I wouldn't have been able to track him even if he infiltrated Konoha."
After the mechanical shark submerged, a figure suddenly appeared in the brightly lit interior.
This figure didn't appear as abruptly as space-time ninjutsu. Instead, it expanded like an inflating balloon, but the speed of its expansion was astonishing. To ordinary people and those with certain dōjutsu, it was indistinguishable from the instantaneous movement of space-time ninjutsu.
However, before Izayoi's Rinne Tenseigan, this expansion process was incredibly slow.
With just a glance, Izayoi saw through Isshiki Otsutsuki's Sukuna-Hikona ability.
He had to admit, Divine Techniques were indeed advanced abilities that only pure-blooded Otsutsuki could master. Just like how Izayoi himself now had a way to shield his presence from others, Isshiki, in his shrunken state, had also reduced his chakra, making him untraceable by Izayoi.
If not for the future seen by Ame-no-Tokotachi, Izayoi wouldn't have been able to pinpoint his location.
Combined with another Divine Technique, Daikokuten, it was no wonder Isshiki could survive the Truth-Seeking Balls back then and instantly escape into another dimension.
But now, Izayoi wouldn't give him another chance to escape.
"Lord Jigen!"
Inside the mechanical shark, the scientists, excluding Amado, greeted Isshiki Otsutsuki respectfully.
Isshiki ignored them, his brow furrowed as he stared at Amado, his expression displeased. "For you to make me appear in such a manner, I hope your urgent notification is good news that warrants such a risk."
"Rest assured, Lord Jigen, it is good news," Amado said with an elegant smile, unhurriedly. "Please follow me. There's something I want you to see."
With that, Amado turned and walked towards a high-tech metal door. Isshiki, giving him due respect, followed closely, his eyes filled with anticipation.
As for the other scientists, they remained in place, not daring to follow.
They were all scientists, but merely outer members.
Amado, on the other hand, was an inner member and the one most valued by 'Lord Jigen'.
After all, besides Amado, none of the scientists had ever seen an inner member dare to be so casual in front of Lord Jigen.
Opening the metal door, there was another metal door inside that required a fingerprint scan to unlock.
Moreover, this metal door, while appearing silver-white on the outside, contained special substances within that could block sensory perception. Even before the final battle, neither Izayoi nor Madara Uchiha, even in Sage of Six Paths Mode, could sense through it.
Now, Izayoi saw through the nature of this door with a single glance.
This door, or rather, this entire room, contained black substances, on par with the sealing cauldrons Isshiki used to seal the Ten-Tails.
More precisely, it was a product similar to Yin-Yang Release and Chakra Orb, also part of the Otsutsuki clan's advanced ability system.
Currently, Izayoi could also create such substances.
And this thing was more advanced than Susanoo. Being inside it would also render one immune to the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Otherwise, Izayoi would have already found them using his Rinne Sharingan.
The space inside the metal door was a small laboratory. Besides some instruments, there was only one incubation pod.
Standing before this incubation pod, Isshiki's eyes were filled with immense surprise, his voice laced with a hint of excitement, "You... you succeeded?"
Inside the incubation pod stood a girl with yellow curly hair, wearing a blue-green outfit, her eyes tightly shut.
Isshiki was no stranger to this girl.
She was Amado's deceased daughter... Akebi Sanzu.
"No, she's still Ada," Amado's eyes held a trace of gloom.
Although the girl in the incubation pod looked exactly like his daughter, her personality was the complete opposite.
This was not his daughter at all!
Upon hearing that it wasn't Akebi Sanzu, Isshiki's expression immediately soured, and he said displeasedly, "If she's still Ada, then why did you contact me urgently?"
Out of respect for Amado and because the original form of the girl before him was Amado's daughter, Isshiki hadn't spoken too harshly.
If it were any other scientist, Isshiki would have already reprimanded and even punished them.
Since the cloning technology wasn't completely perfected, contacting him urgently was practically endangering him.
What if Kaguya's descendants discovered him?
As if sensing Isshiki's displeasure, Amado calmly explained, "While this is still Ada, it is Ada's second body."
"What do you mean?" Isshiki was a bit confused but patiently waited for Amado to continue.
"This is Ada's spare clone. As long as her consciousness is transferred to this body, she will be immediately revived, with both her body and consciousness identical to before," Amado said. "In other words, as long as Ada's consciousness is not dead, she can be revived at any time."
Hearing this, Isshiki's eyes immediately lit up. "You mean, this is a clone without consciousness?"
"That's right. Apart from lacking consciousness, she's identical to Akebi," Amado said, his eyes filled with regret.
It was a pity that his abilities and conditions back then were insufficient to preserve his daughter's consciousness.
Otherwise, he could have truly revived his daughter by transferring her consciousness.
Isshiki Otsutsuki was, of course, unaware of Amado's mood. He looked at the clone in the cultivation pod and praised him without reservation, "No need for soul possession, just transplanting will is enough to revive. You truly are a scientist who surpasses this era, Amado!"
At the same time, Isshiki Otsutsuki felt incredibly excited.
The fact that Amado could create such a clone meant he could also create a clone of Jigen.
Although Jigen was also unsuitable to be his clone, and even if Karma was successfully branded, he would collapse in a very short time after reincarnation.
However, Jigen's body could at least be branded with Karma.
Before finding a suitable vessel for his complete reincarnation, creating a few more Jigen clones would be a reassuring matter.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about Jigen's body suddenly collapsing.
After all, this body had been alive for over two thousand years.
Even controlled by Isshiki Otsutsuki, it could only exert the combat power of a Kage-level expert.
To exert Super Kage-level combat power, he still needed to absorb the Ten-Tails' Chakra.
Thus, Isshiki Otsutsuki was about to speak, preparing to have Amado begin the next phase of the experiment.
But when he turned his head, he met Amado's terrified eyes and his mouth agape, unable to utter a sound.
Behind Amado, a black portal had appeared at some unknown time.
A hand reached out from within, grabbed Amado by the collar, and pulled his body into the black portal.
Isshiki Otsutsuki's eyes widened, and he instinctively moved to snatch Amado back.
But in the next second, several gray bone arrows shot out from within.
Isshiki Otsutsuki immediately recognized what ability this was, and reacted instantly, his expression changing drastically as he used Sukuna-Hikona to shrink the incoming bone arrows before dodging.
When he reappeared about a meter away, the black portal had already closed.
Amado had also disappeared.
Isshiki Otsutsuki's face was extremely grim, and his mood was extremely foul.
However, he didn't even have time to utter a curse before he quickly created a black and red circular portal in the air and rushed into it.
Although Amado being captured was a huge loss for him, even severely impacting his revival plan.
Compared to these, his life was more important.
The world was vast, and there should be several semi-vessels like Jigen that could barely be branded with Karma, and perhaps even suitable vessels for his complete reincarnation existed.
But if he reincarnated now, he would have less than half a day to live.
If he didn't reincarnate, Jigen's body was no match for that descendant of Kaguya.
Apart from fleeing, Isshiki Otsutsuki had no other choice.
Only by choosing to flee could he have a sliver of hope for survival.
Moving at high speed within the space-time tunnel, Isshiki Otsutsuki used Sukuna-Hikona to shrink his body. He quickly passed through a warped space-time door and appeared in a dimly lit space that resembled a cave, as if it had merged with the darkness.
With his body as small as an ant and hidden in the pitch-black darkness, Isshiki Otsutsuki finally felt a sense of security, and only then did he have time to curse, "It's been so long, and this guy is still watching the Shinobi World, not even sparing the islands. Does he have to be so relentless?"
At the same time, Isshiki Otsutsuki's eyes trembled slightly, and he even felt a trace of fear in his heart.
Even when Kaguya Otsutsuki consumed the Chakra Fruit and activated the Rinne Sharingan, or when Kaguya's son became a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Isshiki Otsutsuki hadn't felt fear; at most, he had felt it was a bit troublesome.
But now, Izayoi appearing instantly, and instead of ambushing him immediately, capturing Amado, made Isshiki Otsutsuki feel fear.
He had only opened the portal for a few seconds, and in his Divine Technique state, he definitely hadn't exposed his chakra.
Even Kaguya and her son couldn't break his Divine Technique, so her descendants certainly couldn't.
Yet, in just these few seconds, Izayoi could instantly detect him and arrive immediately.
This meant that Izayoi had been monitoring the entire Shinobi World, and even all the islands outside the Shinobi World.
His first target wasn't him, which meant he could not only see him but also hear his conversation with Amado.
Such strength, such intellect... they were not on the same level as Kaguya and her son.
Moreover, if he wanted to return to the real world, he had to open a space-time *teleportation gate*, which was the only ability that couldn't be shrunk by Divine Technique.
If the other party could detect it once, it meant they could detect it a second time.
Doesn't that mean that as long as the other party is alive, his path back to the real world is completely blocked?
If it were a thousand years ago, Isshiki Otsutsuki wouldn't have cared if Izayoi blocked his path.
But now, he feared he couldn't withstand Izayoi.
To be precise, Jigen's body couldn't withstand Izayoi.
However, soon, Isshiki Otsutsuki no longer had such worries.
A black crack, also merged with the darkness, appeared out of thin air.
Immediately, pure white light illuminated the entire cave-like Other Dimension.
BOOM————
A deafening, earth-shattering explosion echoed through the space.
When the white light faded, darkness still remained.
However, if one possessed night vision, they would discover that the original cave space had transformed into a vast stone chamber.
Aside from the stone walls sealing off this space, there were no other objects present.
Oh, wait, there was one more person.
It was Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had automatically deactivated his Sukuna-Hikona state after using it to block the explosion of the Truth-Seeking Ball.
"How is this possible?!"
Isshiki Otsutsuki, floating behind the lid of the sealing cauldron, was filled with disbelief.
He had fled decisively, so how did that guy find him?
For over two thousand years, even Kaguya and her two sons couldn't track his whereabouts with the combined technique of Sukuna-Hikona and Space-Time Portal.
How did this descendant of Kaguya find him?
Could it be that he had been marked?
Perhaps due to extreme shock, Isshiki Otsutsuki forgot to flee as decisively as he had before.
The next second, darkness turned into daylight, and a terrifying gravity descended, pinning Isshiki Otsutsuki to the ground.
"This wasn't easy, but I finally caught you, you rat!"
Izayoi, also struggling against the oppressive gravity, raised his hand and created sharp Black Rods, piercing Isshiki Otsutsuki's body. This disrupted his Chakra flow, preventing him from using any Divine Techniques.
These Yin-Yang Release Black Rods were also effective against pure-blooded Otsutsuki.
Immediately after, Izayoi raised his hand and used Miketsukami, employing an upgraded Preta Path ability to drain Jigen's body and the Chakra of Isshiki Otsutsuki parasitic within him, again denying him the chance for complete reincarnation.
After doing all this, Izayoi then used Amenominaka again, transferring himself and Isshiki Otsutsuki to another Other Dimension.
A super treasure, not inferior to Kaguya Otsutsuki, and in some ways even more precious, was finally in hand!
