Hashirama and Tobirama, being dead, definitely couldn't serve as vessels.
Isshiki didn't recognize Sasuke, but he could sense the other's power. Having mastered the Creation of All Things, it would be almost impossible for him to take over his body.
Soon, Isshiki turned his gaze to Mikoto, Kushina, and Rinka—an ordinary Uchiha, a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and someone with a Byakugan, seemingly a descendant of Hamura.
Compared to Hamura, Isshiki was clearly more wary of Hagoromo.
A female will do.
Gender wasn't actually important to Isshiki. As long as it benefited his strength, it was fine.
Isshiki could clearly feel that Rinka's bloodline had undergone an atavism, almost reaching the purity of Asura and Indra. If he could plant a Karma on Rinka, he could definitely restore his strength to the greatest extent.
The only concern was whether Kazuki would see through his intentions, and whether Hamura and Hagoromo would discover and target him. But at this point, even if he could defeat Kazuki, he had no choice but to plant Karma on these people.
"Those who kill will be killed. Isshiki, your fate was decided long ago. When you destroyed various planets, you already bore the curses of countless living beings. You have only one outcome."
Kazuki condensed an incredibly terrifying Chakra in his hand. This Chakra had solidified, exploding forth, then was continuously compressed. A golden light suddenly appeared, transforming into a long sword that slashed towards Isshiki.
Gold Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
This was Kazuki's first use of the Tenseigan's ocular jutsu after absorbing Hamura's Tenseigan. With the enhancement of his incredibly terrifying ocular power, this Gold Wheel Reincarnation Explosion seemed capable of tearing through space, directly slashing into Isshiki's body.
Isshiki, caught off guard, could only block with his hand, and was ultimately severed of one arm by Kazuki.
This scene made Kazuki slightly relieved. Dealing with an Ōtsutsuki was indeed difficult, especially Isshiki. However, his Gold Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was incomparable to Toneri's.
The initial setting of the Gold Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was to be able to split the moon, and it could indeed do so. But in Kazuki's opinion, Toneri was still a bit lacking. Naruto simply blocked the Gold Wheel Reincarnation Explosion with his hand.
But Kazuki's was different. He inherited Hamura's Tenseigan, and moreover, his ocular power was far superior to Hamura's. When it suddenly erupted, even Isshiki's arm could be cut off.
"So strong. Good job. Kazuki, go!" Kushina cheered.
"Be careful when you attack." However, Tobirama had a look of distress.
This was an Ōtsutsuki. Kazuki actually cut off its arm, wouldn't the remaining Ōtsutsuki corpse be incomplete?
Kazuki's face darkened. Sure enough, Tobirama's heart was dark.
He immediately set his sights on Isshiki's body. Fortunately, Isshiki didn't know Tobirama's thoughts, otherwise he would probably wish to grind Tobirama to dust, or even make his soul scatter.
Don't doubt whether Isshiki could do it. If he couldn't even do that, then why call himself an Ōtsutsuki?
Moreover, this was Isshiki.
Isshiki glanced at his severed arm, then his figure flashed, heading towards Rinka and the others.
Did you see?
Kazuki's eyes flickered. His goal was almost achieved. He just didn't know whose luck would be better.
Sasuke was impossible. As for the others, he could use Enmasatsu at any time.
As for whether Isshiki would control others to make Kazuki hesitate, with him and Sasuke present, if Isshiki could still achieve that, Kazuki might as well commit seppuku.
Sure enough, the moment Isshiki approached, Sasuke also launched a counterattack. Three Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind Sasuke, quickly transforming into a Truth-Seeking Ball long sword that fell into Kazuki's hand, meeting Isshiki.
Clang...
It was unclear if it was because Isshiki was fighting desperately, but the moment they clashed, Sasuke was actually repelled. Then Isshiki attacked Rinka.
Rinka didn't know about the Ōtsutsuki's Karma. Seeing Isshiki attacking her, she thought he was targeting her to threaten Kazuki, so she quickly attacked Isshiki. However, with her current strength, though powerful, it was still far too little against Isshiki.
Fortunately, Kazuki was very fast. After personally witnessing Isshiki plant Karma on Rinka, he came to Rinka's side, stood in front of her, and attacked Isshiki.
This time, he no longer held back. His taijutsu was displayed to its fullest extent at this moment. In an instant, he suppressed Isshiki, his attacks like continuous rain falling on Isshiki's body. This made Isshiki even more inexplicably horrified. He was not like other Ōtsutsuki, his mind was much sharper than theirs.
He looked at Kazuki in disbelief. Why was Kazuki so powerful, yet he had hidden his strength so much before, and only attacked after he planted Karma?
Could it be that the other party did it on purpose?
Suddenly, a black rod landed in Isshiki's abdomen, causing his movements to pause.
Strike while the iron is hot, Kazuki seized the opportunity, instantly condensed several black rods, and stabbed them into Isshiki's limbs.
Even though Isshiki tried his best to dodge, he was still hit in his four limbs by Kazuki's attack, obstructing the flow of Chakra.
Seeing Isshiki impaled like a porcupine, Kazuki was not at ease. He formed hand signs, slapped Isshiki's abdomen, and the Sealing Jutsu took effect.
