"What are you doing here?"
In the sky, as Takemi observed the Ten-Tails, Kaguya couldn't help but ask curiously.
She couldn't see everything Takemi was seeing, but she had her own concerns.
"Now the entire Ninja World is in chaos, and those three guys could come out at any moment. Why are you still idling here?"
"Don't worry, my God Tree Clone is with them. Their every move can't escape my eyes."
Takemi smiled upon hearing this, then he raised a hand, and a strange Chakra began to emanate from it.
"We can't push them too hard right now. After all, they still have a Ten-Tails, and besides that, Isshiki seems to have some things worth taking."
"Isshiki."
Upon hearing that name, Kaguya knew exactly what Takemi was thinking. He intended to empty Isshiki's coffers, leaving him with absolutely nothing.
While such an act was highly immoral, Ōtsutsuki inherently lacked morality, they merely followed the rules of their clan. Takemi had already torn the clan's most important rules to shreds, even driving others mad. To him, rules were useless, even Kaguya found this somewhat troublesome.
"Forget it, you won't care about these messy things anyway. But even if you want to take it, it won't be easy. Isshiki's space is very well sealed."
"It is indeed well sealed, but don't forget, I've extracted his Karma."
A smile appeared on Takemi's face, black Chakra flickered in his palm, and space was constantly being torn open at this moment.
"I have to say, these Karma are really good things. Not only can they revive oneself, but they can also do the same for others."
"Convenient for you to steal their information?"
"Not only that, but they can also provide pure energy to allow me or the God tree to grow."
"..."
Watching Takemi continuously tear through space, Kaguya didn't feel like speaking at the moment.
Although he seemed very gentle now, she wouldn't forget how terrifying he could be when he went berserk. She was still a bit worried about what terrifying things this Ōtsutsuki, raised under Hagoromo's influence, would do.
'I hope it doesn't fall on me, otherwise...'
She felt that if she fell into Takemi's hands, she would be utterly doomed, beyond even Hagoromo's saving.
"It's open."
Just as she was thinking, Takemi's voice sounded again, and the space in front of them had been torn apart like folded pixels. And within that space, a terrifying aura permeated, accompanied by violent roars echoing from within as the space opened.
"Roar—"
The violent roar seemed to affect the space, making everything around it appear somewhat distorted, yet strangely, none of it spread outwards.
"Hmph, you really think I came unprepared? Trying to get yourself discovered by others, huh?"
Takemi raised an eyebrow, smiling disdainfully, while Kaguya's eyes widened.
"You really found it? Is this Isshiki's Ten-Tails?!"
"Exactly, but you need to rephrase that."
Takemi leaped up, instantly disappearing into the space, and the shadowy space behind him closed at that moment. He floated in the air, looking down at the giant beast below. This guy was much better looking than the Gedo Statue. It didn't have the appearance and skin like withered wood, and it was slightly better than Takemi's giant beast, its enormous Rinnegan was already open.
At this moment, it was nervously staring at Takemi, and a captivating Chakra continuously erupted from within its body.
"Now it's not Isshiki's Ten-Tails, but mine."
"Roar—"
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the Ten-Tails suddenly let out a roar, its voice captivating. It instantly stood up, its massive fist swinging directly at Takemi. It was just a simple move, but with its immense size and seemingly endless Chakra, everything became incredibly terrifying.
"Hmph, is this how you greet your new master?" Takemi snorted.
In an instant, an incredibly dazzling golden light flashed. This attack illuminated the dim space like a blazing sun. It was like an indestructible blade, heavily striking the Ten-Tails.
"Roar—"
This strike was incredibly fierce, making the Ten-Tails roar again.
And on the Ten-Tails' body, a deep sword mark appeared, making it difficult for the Ten-Tails to stand steady. Its tail continuously swayed in the air, seeking balance, before it flipped over and crashed heavily onto the ground within the space, leaving several deep claw marks.
In the Ten-Tails' Rinnegan, the hint of fear intensified, and when it looked down, one of its hands had actually been severed.
"It's strange that Tailed Beasts can develop their own intelligence."
Takemi looked at this Ten-Tails, driven entirely by instinct, and couldn't help but ask with a hint of amusement.
"But the Ten-Tails doesn't seem to have its own intelligence, it's just a monster driven by instinct. What's going on?"
"I don't know about that either."
Kaguya raised an eyebrow upon hearing Takemi's words.
She had never considered such a thing. After all, while Ten-Tails was dangerous, to them Ōtsutsuki, it was merely a 'pet'. They wouldn't care what their 'pets' thought, especially since these 'pets' were used for planting the God tree and would even devour them Ōtsutsuki. It could be said that these things were dangerous and terrifying, but also a source of immense energy.
"However, can you really deal with it?"
"Aren't you underestimating me too much?"
Upon hearing Kaguya's words, Takemi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
And at this very moment, the Ten-Tails roared to the sky, and a red and black Chakra sphere instantly gathered. As this Chakra sphere grew larger and larger, a terrifying aura instantly emerged, a pure power meant to destroy everything.
"Ten-Tails Tailed Beast Ball?"
Takemi looked up with cold eyes, a disdainful smile on his lips.
"Speaking of which, my god tree source can also use this move, and I know its specific power, so using it on me is a waste. So..."
Before he finished speaking, he began to frantically mobilize the Chakra within his body, and the golden light sword in his hand grew longer and longer. In the blink of an eye, this massive golden sword had reached over a thousand meters.
"Since you're so impolite, I won't be polite either. I think my God tree will really like your taste."
Divine Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
Without any superfluous words, Takemi wielded his long sword and charged towards the Ten-Tails.
"Roar—"
Ten-Tails let out a roar, and its massive Tailed Beast Ball fired with a boom.
Wherever the Tailed Beast Ball passed, space trembled, and the ground was scarred by a deep crack from the aftermath. In just a blink, it collided with Takemi's long sword.
Boom—
In an instant, a series of explosions erupted, and the entire space was utterly disfigured in that moment.
The terrifying power frantically tore the earth, constantly churning the space, and the chaotic black holes layered one upon another, as if the area was about to completely collapse.
However, Takemi still floated in the sky, such an energy impact seemed to have no effect on him. And Isshiki's Ten-Tails frantically retreated, though its body was covered in wounds, it still looked full of life.
"It seems the Ten-Tails isn't that easy to deal with after all." Kaguya said softly upon seeing this.
"Do you want to summon your Ten-Tails? That way it might be easier to deal with it."
"No need. Compared to summoning it, throwing it into my space is the key." Takemi shook his head gently.
With a slight flick, the thousand-meter golden sword had already disappeared, making it seem like he was going to stop.
"What is this?"
Kaguya was a little confused, but Takemi chuckled softly, his gaze already looking into the distance.
"Is it there, that kind of power?"
The moment this space was shattered, he clearly sensed that in the deepest part of this space, there was another terrifying thing hidden. This thing had no life, yet it gave people the illusion of having infinite vitality. And the power contained within it made even the current Takemi feel fear.
"Shibai's remains..."
Takemi murmured, but a brilliant smile spread across his face.
These were his true objectives for coming here, these were the nutrients for his Path to Godhood.
