The Ninja World has always had its crises, not to mention Kaguya, the 'People from the Heavens' are constantly descending.
Perhaps it won't be long before these 'People from the Heavens' fully arrive, and at that time, it will be another disaster for the entire Ninja World.
The stronger Takemi becomes, the more peace he can bring to the entire world.
Therefore, his 'little skirmishes' don't even count as problems.
After a while, Hamura smiled and said, "Perhaps it's to make it more interesting when Takemi merges with Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki in the future."
Then his gaze turned to his elder brother. "Speaking of which, you actually favor Indra more, don't you?"
"?"
Hagoromo was stunned for a moment, then looked bewildered.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Those two children, I…"
"Then why did you only leave a stone tablet for Indra?"
"…"
"Why were you guiding Indra, and not Asura?"
"…"
"The advice was for both sides, so why did you do that? Is it because you secretly prefer Indra more?"
"…"
Hagoromo looked at his younger brother's smiling face. He didn't need to ask to know where this damned rumor came from.
No doubt, it must be that bastard who loves to spread rumors the most. At this moment, his fists not only hardened, but his heart also couldn't help but lament.
'Has the education in the Ninja World fallen to such a state in just a thousand years?'
'Such excellent children, yet they've been educated like this?'
'The education in the Ninja World is finished…'
Various parts of the Ninja World had more or less received some intelligence, and the ninja villages allied with Konoha also received information transmitted from Konoha.
They were either surprised or thoughtful, incredulous or excited. But everyone realized one thing: Konoha was probably returning to the 'Dual Gods Era.'
Of course, this was merely a conjecture that arose because they hadn't truly seen the battlefield, and no one was willing to explain it to them.
Takemi asked, "How much longer until Naruto figures it out?"
On a high platform in Iwagakure, Takemi leaned there resting, and Jiraiya brought two bottles of lemonade, specifically handing one to him.
"I don't know. It will probably take some more time. Naruto's situation is a bit complicated, after all, he has quite a few 'tenants' inside him, so…"
"This isn't a problem. Why is it taking so long if he can't figure it out?"
Takemi yawned, casually inserted the straw, and started drinking.
"It's better to go back early. Sasuke isn't doing so well right now, and Naruto isn't either. They need extra training, they need to improve, they need to strike hard."
"…"
Jiraiya swallowed. He wondered if it was because he hadn't ended up in the hospital this time, so Takemi had set his sights on those two youngsters instead?
After all, this time, it seemed he couldn't use the excuse of 'the Second Hokage is already dead, so he can't be angered into the hospital' anymore…
"Sigh, I'll go check. It really needs to be sped up. I want to go back too."
After thinking for a long time, Jiraiya decided it would be better for Takemi to send those two kids to the hospital. His old bones couldn't handle the torment, but he thought of something.
"By the way, when we get back, there's something I hope you can support me with."
Takemi asked, "What is it?"
"The Akatsuki. I want to thoroughly investigate them. Although you're not afraid of them, they are too dangerous now."
When he mentioned this, Jiraiya's expression became somewhat serious.
"Obito, Madara, and Nagato, among others. Your fearlessness doesn't mean others are safe, so…"
"This kind of thing, huh?"
Takemi's expression was a bit strange. He couldn't understand why Jiraiya was thinking about the Akatsuki again. But after thinking for a long time, he ultimately didn't give a promise.
"Let's talk about it when we get back. This matter isn't that simple, and besides, what can you do alone?"
"Tch, fine."
Jiraiya didn't get a satisfactory answer, but he didn't press further. He stood up and walked towards Naruto.
Takemi remained in place, watching Jiraiya's retreating figure. After a moment, he shook his head, and then his figure suddenly flickered and disappeared.
Inside Amenominaka, his figure appeared on a giant tree, and at the same time, he took out two scrolls.
"It's time to look at the spoils of war. After all, the harvest this time wasn't small…"
He mumbled, and his panel appeared in his line of sight.
[Completed Special Side Quest: Who Dares to Claim Invincibility, Who Dares to Claim Undefeated.]
[Reward acquired: Isshiki's 'White Karma' information.]
"?"
"White Karma?"
Seeing this information, Takemi was momentarily stunned. He then reacted, realizing what this thing was.
"It's actually something like this?"
Takemi's expression was a bit strange, but soon his eyes began to glow.
White Karma—that was a Karma that was purely a power mark.
Karma was divided into two types: one was Black Karma, which recorded all of an Ōtsutsuki's information, including their soul, for resurrection.
Takemi also knew how to make this, and he had even secretly placed one on Zetsu. However, Zetsu didn't participate in combat, and Takemi was living well, so that Karma naturally showed no signs of releasing or decompresing. But it did allow him to observe it, and even—
"Lock your position, I can teleport there at any time."
However, White Karma was somewhat different. Although it was still Karma, it only contained Ōtsutsuki's power.
"No soul information, no memory information, and even the power aspect isn't comparable to Black Karma, but—"
But this pure power was actually the best for him right now.
"It seems that guy named Code, or whatever his name is, uses White Karma?"
White Karma, this pure power, was simply too suitable for the current Takemi, especially this Ōtsutsuki power. This kind of thing would surely increase his bloodline development and even bring him more benefits.
"The only trouble is, just like the divine artifacts, I have to find it myself."
Takemi wasn't particularly fond of treasure hunting. It took him a long time to find both of Uchiha's divine tools. But after he found them all, he realized they seemed useless to him...
"I can still use Totsuka Blade from time to time, but Yata Mirror is useless."
In three years, Takemi naturally wouldn't leave Yata Mirror untouched, but the Akatsuki was lucky that time.
They didn't run into him...
But after getting Yata Mirror, he had a headache because its effect on him was very ordinary.
As a spiritual tool, it can undergo all kinds of nature changes, altering its attributes according to the attribute of the attack to nullify it.
In terms of effect, it was indeed excellent. Calling it a divine tool was no exaggeration, but Takemi already had a better choice.
Truth-Seeking Ball.
Truth-Seeking Ball could be said to be both offensive and defensive, especially in defense, where its effect was outstanding.
Compared to Yata Mirror...
"I think Truth-Seeking Ball is better, especially since I have three."
Yata Mirror was temporarily sealed away by him. Although it was useless, he didn't care. Whether to use it was one thing, whether to have it was another.
"White Karma is of high value to me. It is most likely for cultivating subordinates?"
Takemi didn't quite understand, at least he wasn't very clear about the specific use cases for White Karma, but no matter what, this thing was very suitable for him.
"Isshiki must have made a lot of preparations these years. The Kara organization might not have been established yet, but he couldn't have done nothing to fully resurrect..."
Takemi was in a great mood. Since he had already tricked Isshiki once, it was only natural to go and snatch his things along the way.
"Also, the information left by his Chakra still needs to be continued, the dimension where Ten-Tails is still needs to be explored, and especially the news of Otsutsuki Shibai needs to be expedited."
