"Cough, cough, cough—"
Inside the Kamui Dimension, Obito collapsed to the ground.
He coughed continuously, blood spilling from the corner of his lips, indicating how miserable he was.
He lied there for a long time, soothing himself, before finally getting back up.
"Truly Takemi, with this kind of power, no wonder he's the evolutionist acknowledged by Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki."
"..."
Isshiki remained silent within Obito's consciousness. He didn't know how to evaluate his vessel now.
"Why can he be this stupid?"
Obito clearly had a firm will and could discern the essence of some things, but his mind seemed to only have flashes of brilliance.
Other times, it was basically a complete mess, which gave Isshiki an immense headache.
"Sigh, never mind. At least there's a gain this time."
Isshiki didn't want to think about Obito's problem anymore. What else could he do at this point?
Fortunately, he wasn't empty-handed, whether it was his Karma or Takemi.
"From the Chakra signature, Takemi is stronger than last time. It might be due to spatial obstruction causing my judgment to be inaccurate, but—"
Recalling the battle between Takemi and Obito, Isshiki's expression became somewhat serious.
"Such a difference seems a bit large, but it also confirmed some of my conjectures."
Isshiki had too many conjectures about Takemi, after all, this was someone even that madman Takeshiki thought highly of.
However, he had always been unable to accurately determine what kind of life form Takemi truly was. But with this battle, he seemed to have made a rough judgment.
"So compatible with natural energy, extremely strong physical prowess, capable of using various ninjutsu including Yin-Yang Release, and..."
Isshiki remembered that last time Takemi faced Takeshiki, he seemed to have used the planet's energy. He didn't use it this time, probably because his opponent was Obito.
And he had the aura of the Ten-Tails on him. Combining all of this, he had a strange conjecture.
"Is this an individual with the power of the Ten-Tails, constantly undergoing self-evolution, or..."
A peculiar life form born under the impetus of the planetary will?
After all, this planet was too special. Despite already having nurtured a Chakra fruit, it hadn't collapsed and was even self-recovering.
And himself, Kaguya, and Takeshiki kept arriving, and in the future, there would certainly be more Ōtsutsuki coming to search for him and Kaguya.
"So, could this planet have given birth to an existence like Takemi to protect itself?"
Although this conjecture was absurd, it wasn't impossible. Of course, it wouldn't be surprising if it was the power of the Ten-Tails.
Although the Ten-Tails was enslaved by them, the Ōtsutsuki would not deny the power of the Ten-Tails.
If the Ten-Tails underwent some strange mutation, thereby awakening and giving rise to a life form like Takemi, it wouldn't be surprising.
"But no matter which one it is, it's extremely peculiar, and it's enough for me to properly verify and understand it."
Isshiki thought to himself, and his expression became somewhat excited.
"Takeshiki probably had a similar conjecture and wanted to verify this point, and then—"
Then, just as he wanted to devour him, he would eventually devour Takemi.
With this thought, Isshiki felt that he had definitely guessed correctly.
Such a peculiar life form would surely contain an immense amount of energy.
Whether it was the Ten-Tails or the planet's will, these were things that even the Ōtsutsuki yearned for.
"Then my plan is fine..."
Isshiki took a deep breath. He looked at Obito with some disdain, and finally shook his head helplessly.
"Nurturing Takemi to deal with Takeshiki is definitely a viable path."
After all, Takemi's potential seemed limitless, incomparable to Obito's.
"Now, I just don't know if Takeshiki was attracted by my White Karma, and if Takemi has truly been led astray by Obito this time, I don't know what will happen."
Isshiki sighed. His only relief now was that...
After being severely beaten by Takemi, the speed of Obito's Karma release began to accelerate. Soon, he would be able to try to control Obito.
In the starry sky, as black pixel-like blocks unfolded, a spatial gate suddenly appeared.
"Finally here..."
Immediately after, a figure carrying a fishing rod-like artifact, with a playful expression, flew out from the spatial gate.
He was clad in white, standing tall above the starry sky. His Byakugan gazed into the distance, and on his head, there was a bone membrane resembling a forehead protector.
Clearly, the person capable of activating Yomotsu Hirasaka was also an Ōtsutsuki, and he was Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
"Is this the planet where Isshiki's Chakra erupted? It's a bit strange, why is Isshiki's Chakra so weak?"
Urashiki's goal was naturally to find Isshiki and Kaguya. Originally, he was teamed up with Momoshiki and Kinshiki, but for various reasons, they traveled separately. And he wasn't particularly far from here, only taking a few years to arrive. Besides, a few years was no problem for Ōtsutsuki like them.
"Tsk, what a strange planet."
Looking at the distant blue planet, Urashiki chuckled.
"It clearly has a strong sense of brokenness, yet it's still intact. Is this where Isshiki and Kaguya planted the Ten-Tails back then?"
After a laugh, Urashiki prepared to move towards the location of Isshiki's Chakra eruption, and also wanted to learn more about this planet.
"After all, Isshiki's Chakra eruption was very weak, and before that, there was also the Chakra of an unknown fellow clansman..."
A black spatial folding door quietly appeared behind him, and his figure was about to step into it.
But at this moment, he turned his head and glanced at the nearby moon.
"Also, why does that feel so strange?"
But after a few glances, his body had already disappeared from where he stood.
Perhaps for such a lifeless and clearly artificially constructed planet, he was too lazy to spend more time investigating it carefully.
However, he didn't notice that inside the moon, a gigantic golden eye inadvertently swept over him.
