"Yin-Yang Release, what troublesome things."
Looking at where Takemi had disappeared, Tobirama felt a bit displeased. He turned his head and looked seriously at his elder brother.
"Doesn't your body possess both of these powers? Can you produce them?"
"In a death state, it's probably very difficult." Hashirama sighed helplessly, then he showed a wry smile.
"I never thought that being a burden would feel like this. We actually need a child to help us draw fire."
"Sigh…"
This question made even Tobirama feel a bit dejected, but Hashirama continued to speak, "Perhaps, you were right…"
"Only through the Sage of Six Paths's cruel training did we get Takemi, who can now face an Ōtsutsuki…"
Above the small town in the Land of Water, Urashiki looked at everything below with great interest.
"How interesting…"
So many strange and abstract creatures, using their power—such a sight was rare on other planets.
"It seems that what attracted me here was that blank Karma." Urashiki carried his fishing rod, a mischievous smile on his face.
"Could it be that Isshiki's reincarnation failed?"
That white Karma had no soul belonging to Isshiki, only Isshiki's power. And that guy's soul was muddled, which made it hard for him not to think in that direction.
"But it doesn't matter, there are a lot of good things in here."
Urashiki stretched, lightly exercising his limbs. Although everything below was interesting, to him…
"They are just a bunch of ants, wielding our power, tearing at each other."
Ant fights were interesting, and those fighting techniques even piqued Urashiki's interest slightly. But the fundamental difference was too great. He would lose interest after watching for too long. It was more important to quickly reclaim those powers.
"And there's still a lot of scattered Ten-Tails Chakra in this world, and there are quite a few things worth investigating. Tsk tsk, maybe I can even get a Chakra fruit."
Urashiki's gaze sharpened, and his Chakra began to subtly vibrate. However, just as he was about to make his move…
Suddenly, he sensed something and instantly turned his head. Behind him, space suddenly folded bizarrely, and then a spatial gate abruptly appeared.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka?"
Urashiki immediately recognized what this was, as he himself was very proficient in this power.
The next moment, a figure similarly clad in white robes stepped out from the spatial gate.
As this figure appeared, the mist shrouding the Land of Water seemed to dissipate. Silver moonlight fell upon him, making his face utterly indistinct.
Only those eyes, like stars, shimmering with azure light, gazed intently at Urashiki.
Upon seeing this person, even Urashiki felt a sense of oppression. After a good while, he finally smiled.
"Oh, I never thought I'd encounter a fellow clansman on this planet."
"I am Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. May I ask who you are…?"
Urashiki was very confused right now, he seemed to have never met this guy before. However, he didn't pay it much mind, as he had been searching for Isshiki for nearly a thousand years.
During all that time, it wasn't impossible for the clan to have nurtured a new member.
Besides, having a fellow clan member made things much more convenient for him. After searching for Isshiki for so long, he was already annoyed himself.
"Wasting my time..."
The relationships between true Ōtsutsuki clan members were not as good as one might imagine. Because they were born noble, time left few traces on them.
The only ones they could associate with were clan members who could keep up with them. As for other life forms, they were nothing more than ants.
And in their long lives, all they sought was powerful strength. Only powerful strength could give meaning to their long, almost infinite lifespan.
Therefore, they treated all life-bearing planets in the universe as ranches, not hesitating to destroy entire planets to obtain the Chakra fruit.
Searching for Isshiki and Kaguya had wasted too much of Urashiki's time, so he couldn't be happy about it.
"Just call me Takeshiki."
Takemi said casually, realizing that this guy, just like Isshiki back then, hadn't set up any defenses against him.
"Takeshiki?"
Urashiki nodded, then quickly asked, "How long have you been on this planet? Do you have any news of Isshiki-senpai? Why is his Karma here? Did his reincarnation fail?"
"No need to rush. I can answer these questions one by one." Takemi smiled, no defenses were a good thing.
"I've only been here for less than twenty years, but I have indeed discovered quite a few things, especially concerning Isshiki-senpai."
"Less than twenty years, huh? You've investigated quite a bit then."
Urashiki clicked his tongue, suddenly interested. Staying on a planet for twenty years meant there were many interesting things here.
"Tell me, especially about Isshiki-senpai. What happened to him?"
"Isshiki-senpai is a true pioneer!"
Takemi's tone was filled with 'reverence,' and within that 'reverence' was boundless 'emotion.'
"Senpai, haven't you noticed something peculiar about this planet?"
"The energy of this planet seems a bit strange..."
Urashiki didn't know why Takemi changed the subject so quickly, but this was exactly what he was curious about.
"It seems to have been devoured by a God Tree, yet it's still full of vitality, and even the planet's energy is recovering. What's going on?"
"Because this planet has already had a God Tree planted on it." Takemi smiled, his hands behind his back, a Truth-Seeking Ball already resting on him.
"Otherwise, how would this planet have become like this?"
"Already planted..."
Takemi's words made Urashiki frown.
"Could it be that Isshiki wants to plant it again, and now he's waiting for Kaguya's revival? No, that's not right..."
Urashiki felt that something was off. If that were the case, why was the Ten-Tails's power split up?
And why was Isshiki's failed Karma causing trouble? Where was Kaguya?
Also, what did this kid's 'reverence' and 'emotion' mean?
Buzz—
However, while Urashiki's mind was still racing, he suddenly sensed something amiss the next moment.
Turning his head, he saw that Takemi had somehow produced a black blade in his hand and was instantly swinging it towards him.
"What!?"
Urashiki's pupils instinctively contracted, he had absolutely not expected his fellow clan member to attack him.
Even more, he hadn't expected him to be so fast and act so decisively?
"Damn it!" Urashiki cursed under his breath. It was too late to do anything now, he could only grit his teeth and instantly release his Chakra.
A red Chakra membrane instantly appeared on his body, and at the same time, the fishing rod in his hand immediately lifted to block.
But Takemi's strike was too fast and too unexpected. Under the immense force, he simply couldn't block it.
In an instant, Urashiki was sent flying like a cannonball, smashing fiercely into the distance.
Rumble—
His body slammed heavily into the mountain rock, and in that instant, the entire mountain collapsed from his impact.
Huge boulders continuously fell from high above, crashing onto the ground with a constant roar like an earthquake.
And his body continued to crash backward at high speed. The continuous mountains simply couldn't withstand his power, collapsing one after another.
It wasn't until the last peak shattered that he finally slammed heavily onto the ground.
Boom—
Another loud bang, and a deep pit several hundred meters wide was violently gouged into the ground by his impact.
