"Finally out?"
Isshiki silently nodded, this was the effect he wanted.
"This way, it should attract Takeshiki, and it can attract more people..."
His gaze slightly shifted towards the sky, his pair of strange eyes seemingly able to see further.
In the deep starry sky, two rays of light were rapidly flying.
At first glance, they looked like two meteors, but upon closer inspection, one would find that these two rays of light were human figures wrapped in Chakra.
The two figures differed greatly from humans in appearance. They both had horns on their foreheads, and surging Chakra formed their clothing. They looked both mysterious and noble.
However, at this moment, the two figures, moving at the speed of meteors, suddenly stopped, their gaze fixed on the distance.
"Did you feel it, Kinshiki?"
The shorter of the two spoke indifferently, while the tall, burly man beside him respectfully bowed.
"Momoshiki-sama, it seems to be Isshiki-sama's aura, but it's also a bit different."
"It seems I was right, it's in this direction."
Momoshiki revealed a cold smile. About a few years ago, he had sensed a peculiar aura, so he had brought Kinshiki and headed in this direction.
However, that aura hadn't appeared for a long time since then, which made him unsure if he was heading in the right direction. But now, he was certain, and he even had a good idea of who it was.
"Let's go, it's a good chance to see what's going on..."
As he spoke, the two once again transformed into comets and vanished from their spot.
At the same time, within a starfield closer to the Ninja World, another figure similar to them also stopped.
"That's right, it's this direction. It seems I found the right place, but the aura is very different from last time."
This figure pondered for a moment, then smiled.
"But this time, I can confirm it seems to be Isshiki's aura, how interesting."
After muttering to himself, he instantly vanished from his original spot.
Not only the Ōtsutsuki outside the starfield, but also Takemi, who had been pondering for days, still thinking about how to meet Kaguya, also sensed the aura of his 'kin' immediately.
"So arrogant?"
He tilted his head, looking into the distance, but soon he revealed a smile.
"Their guts are pretty big, but this is also good..."
"I've remembered your Chakra, my White Karma."
...
"Ao, have you found anything?"
"Not yet."
Inside the Land of Water, Mei and Ao were leading a small squad, constantly searching for something.
The unique Chakra fluctuation that had erupted in the Land of Water naturally didn't escape their notice.
Even if they weren't entirely clear about the other, more special information hidden within this Chakra, they knew of its immense power.
"There's not a single trace?"
Chōjūrō murmured, looking a bit nervous.
"Could it be those Akatsuki members? After all, Iwagakure over there was…"
"We can't be sure yet."
Ao shook his head, but he also glanced at Mei.
"However, I think we should notify Konoha first. After all, we are allies."
As he said this, Ao actually felt a bit ashamed.
As one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, when faced with trouble, especially from the Akatsuki, who they held an irreconcilable hatred for…
His first thought was to notify Konoha, who had been their greatest enemy for the past few decades?
If the older generation of Kirigakure ninjas knew this, they would probably 'rise from their graves.' But times were different, and their approach had to be different too.
"Notify Konoha?"
Mei pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright, but before that, we should still search. We can't rely on them for everything."
"Indeed." Ao rubbed his brow, then smiled helplessly.
"Honestly, the Ninja World is becoming more and more incomprehensible."
"You're right. I feel like we've been eliminated. The vast Iwagakure was actually conquered by one person."
Chōjūrō said, then he seemed to recall something.
"However, the scariest one seems to be Konoha's Fifth Hokage…"
At the mention of Takemi, everyone fell silent.
This Fifth Hokage was truly inhumanly strong!
Especially Mei, she knew even more and was clearer about his terrifying power.
"Alright, let's not talk about him. Let's continue our mission."
After a while, she shook her head and said, and everyone immediately nodded.
"Yes!"
At the mention of Takemi, everyone present seemed to lose interest. The gap was too vast. If they continued to discuss it, they would lose their composure. It was better to discuss such a person as little as possible.
Meanwhile, also in the Land of Water, Kisame asked Jūzō and Raiga, who were beside him.
"Have you found anything?"
As former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they naturally couldn't avoid a mission regarding Kirigakure.
"Not yet. Who knows where that brat Utakata went?" Jūzō shook his head.
Raiga looked a bit curious and said, "Also, what was with that Chakra from before? It felt a bit off."
"You two dead men are afraid of these things?" Kisame's face was full of strangeness. He grinned as he looked at the two.
"You don't have to worry even if you die. Someone will revive you anyway. Speaking of which, I really envy you."
"Then why don't you die?"
Jūzō and Raiga looked at Kisame with deep gazes, which made Kisame pause.
Kisame said, "As long as I can live, I won't go looking for death."
"Then why are you talking nonsense?" Raiga snorted coldly.
Jūzō chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, we might encounter Takemi during our mission. Maybe you'll really die this time."
"That's not necessarily true."
Unlike others who trembled at the mention of Takemi, Kisame acted very normally.
"Don't forget, Orochimaru sent reinforcements, didn't he? If anyone's going to die, they'll die first."
