CH 187

“I was caught up…”

Jigen looked back indifferently. His eyes were like dead fish eyes, surging with a deep sense of numbness.

He saw Yuuji chasing after him, getting closer and closer.

“I was in a hurry to take action now because of this guy. I didn’t expect to meet him here.”

Jigen felt a wave of irritation.

He could not show his face; in other words, he had to kill everyone who sensed that something was wrong with him.

Kaguya’s arrangement had not been exposed. He did not know if Hagoromo and Hamura had also left any backup plans. If he made a move now, the problem would be very big, and it would only cause more trouble.

“So, just in case, I still have to kill this guy…”

Jigen frowned slightly.

‘Although this guy is very difficult to kill, Godzilla is only a match for Bijuu in the end. No matter how strong he is, could he be stronger than Kyuubi?’

With his ability, he only needed to spend a little time.

The two started chasing one after the other.

Finally, in a deserted place, Jigen suddenly stopped and looked at Yuuji with an indifferent expression.

“You finally stopped running? Are you determined to get rid of me because you found that you couldn’t run away?” Yuuji sneered.

“You shouldn’t have caught up,” Jigen said coldly.

“The result is the same. If I don’t chase after you, you won’t let me go. Moreover, it is rare to meet such an interesting fellow like you. How can I let you go…”

Yuuji sized up the person in front of him.

Sure enough, it was indeed the monk in his impression, the unlucky person who was parasitized by Isshiki who was on the verge of death.

Especially the strange runes on his face indicated that he had been embedded with “K?ma”.

As long as he was embedded by K?ma, he would become a vessel for Otsutsuki’s people to possess and resurrect.

This small K?ma recorded all the “data” of Otsutsuki’s people, including memories, bloodlines, and strength. All of them were stored in this unremarkable strange rune.

When the time was right, the data stored in K?ma would gradually be unsealed, covering Jigen bit by bit, rewriting Jigen’s original DNA and level of life. He then would completely become Isshiki.

In other words…

As long as Yuuji could defeat Jigen and find a way to get K?ma, it would be the same as getting a copy of a pure-blooded Otsutsuki.

“Being able to look at you up close really makes me excited…” Yuuji’s eyes revealed a trace of eagerness.

This kind of gaze made Jigen nod his head slightly, “It seems to be an inferior creature that worships a God. So that’s how it is. It seems that you have grasped some secrets through some means.”

Yuuji, “I know everything you don’t want me to know. If I kill you and get everything from you, the secrets of you outsiders will be exposed in front of me.”

Silence.

After a long time, a slight change appeared on Jigen’s stiff and numb face, “Hmph, you’re actually a blasphemer, and you even know that I’m an outsider… How did you know all this? Did Hamura’s descendant tell you this?”

Jigen looked at Yuuji, who was dressed in a black robe, in bewilderment.

‘How could this be?’

Since a thousand years ago, when he was ambushed by Kaguya and devoured by the God Tree, he had been pretending to be dead and trying his best to hide his tracks. He had lived for a thousand years as a native of Ninja World.

‘But why… did this native in front of me know my identity?!’

‘Could it be that Kaguya guessed that I am still alive and told the two children she had given birth to?’

‘Humph, I have been hiding for a thousand years. It seems to be the right choice. Kaguya and her descendants are really vicious!’

‘This guy in front of me must also die!’

Jigen slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

While Yuuji was eagerly observing, he also maintained a high vigilance. The Godzilla Coat on the surface of his body slowly began to condense, entering the second stage of Godzilla Mode, half-Godzilla transformation.

“Otsutsuki Isshiki. I remember that this guy has a second Juubi in his hands…”

Yuuji pondered.

Compared to Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki’s team, Isshiki and Kaguya’s combination was stronger. Kaguya was fine. In terms of status, she was one level lower than Isshiki. In terms of character, she was equivalent to Kinshiki in Momoshiki’s team.

The most terrifying was Isshiki.

A thousand years ago, this guy had originally planned to sacrifice Kaguya to Juubi so that Juubi could mature quickly and speed up the speed of devouring this planet.

In the end, Kaguya attacked even faster and more ruthless. She launched a sneak attack on Isshiki first and then offered Isshiki as a sacrifice to the Juubi.

It was precisely because it devoured Isshiki that Juubi’s bloodline had been sublimated and entered a stronger form that he could transform into… God Tree!!

The key to Juubi transforming from a giant beast into God Tree was to let Juubi devour an “Otsutsuki”.

Isshiki and Kaguya were two people. Kaguya’s position was as a sacrifice to be absorbed by Juubi. Then she could resurrect through K?ma, and Isshiki would protect the God Tree until the chakra fruit completely matured.

But Kaguya refused to accept this result. She didn’t want the planet to be swallowed, was one aspect, but also because the Ninja World at that time was full of weak mortals, and no one could become a vessel for her resurrection. It was not impossible to forcibly use K?ma on mortals because, after the resurrection, she would only live for a few minutes and then die on the spot.

Therefore, Kaguya took the risk and attacked Isshiki first.

Her plan succeeded. Juubi swallowed Isshiki and mastered God Tree form.

Isshiki was dead, devoured by Juubi, and had no chance to resurrect. Kaguya, who had killed him, thought so.

But in fact, after most of Isshiki had been devoured by the Juubi, he had relied on his right eye to escape successfully. He found the unlucky Jigen and embedded K?ma in him.

However, because Isshiki was too weak and Jigen’s body was also too weak, Isshiki did not immediately seize the body to resurrect. Instead, he parasitized on Jigen and lived on for a long time.

“This guy is not easy to deal with. My only chance is to defeat Jigen before Isshiki forcibly revives and thinks of a way to seize K?ma from him… Maybe it is possible to use a sealing technique?”

Yuuji’s expression was solemn.

Isshiki’s attainments in physical skills alone were already superior to the current Ninja World.

In the original work, before he was completely resurrected, he only used a single kick to kick the adult Sasuke’s Susanoo!

Even if it couldn’t compare to the desperate attack of the Eight Gates Guy, it was still extremely dangerous.

Isshiki’s eyes were also very special. His left eye was normal, but his right eye was extremely strange. It had three dojutsu, and its shape was similar to that of a network structure. Moreover, just from the shape of this right eye, it was impossible to determine whether it was the Rinnegan system or the Tenseigan system.

“So, I can only fight quickly. At this time, even if the Kara organization is established, it is reasonable to say that it is still an empty shell. Without the help of a group of thugs, Isshiki’s recovery state is far less than twenty years later.”

“Before using Jigen’s body, Isshiki will not easily take the last step and forcibly revive… But as long as Jigen’s body is crippled, and he doesn’t embed K?ma on others, then Isshiki won’t last long and will die.”

Yuuji’s brain worked quickly as he stared at the other party.

‘The current Isshiki should stay on top of Jigen’s brain and control Jigen’s body.’

Running away after doing one job was what Yuuji wanted to do. As for whether Isshiki would go crazy in the future and how long he could live, he was too lazy to pay attention to it.

‘Oh, right, there is also the juvenile Juubi that this guy has and sealed in a different space. It is also very valuable…’

The more Yuuji looked at it, the more he felt that Isshiki was simply a great treasure.

“Your eyes make me very dislike them. Dig out your eyes and give them to me, inferior creature.” Jigen said coldly.

“To a certain extent, you are also a native of Ninja World now. If you fall, you will have to live on with the body of a native. How sad.”

Yuuji laughed coldly. As the other party’s expression changed, he attacked brazenly.

Boom!

He, who had transformed into half Godzilla, was like a small giant beast. Just stepping on the ground caused a shocking dent in the ground.

In a flash, his figure moved quickly, creating a terrifying deep pit in the ground and triggering a violent explosion that was far more intense than before.

“You seem to know a lot about Otsutsuki’s clan… How much did the rebels from Kaguya’s lineage tell you?”

Jigen’s expression was numb. Facing this little monster that suddenly charged over, his figure quickly retreated.

“As expected.”

Isshiki was very worried that Jigen’s body would be damaged.

So…

“At this time, Jigen did not carry out large-scale human experiments. He did not capture a large number of suitable people and embed them with K?ma. He did not find a suitable reincarnation vessel… He did not dare to act casually. Otherwise, it would be easy to be exposed to the vision of Kaguya and her descendants!”

As long as he could cripple Jigen’s body, Isshiki would be finished!

Swish, swish, swish!

The two of them engaged in a terrifying battle.

“Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu(Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)!” Yuuji raised his hand and shot out ninjutsu to test the waters.

“Did you use Ninjutsu? Inferior creature, I will let you use your life to understand the consequences of offending God.”

Isshiki raised his hand.

The palm with a strange pattern spread out and aimed at the ridiculously large fireball.

Whoosh!

The entire fireball was immediately swallowed up as if there was a different dimension in Jigen’s palm.

It was very similar to Nagato’s Gakido(Preta Path) ability but also somewhat like Obito’s Kamui.

In less than a second, the fireball was swallowed up.

A stiff expression appeared on Jigen’s face.

It had been a thousand years since he had fought with anyone, especially since his opponent was a trash species of this planet.

“Ninjutsu, this kind of thing was only an inferior creature like you will pay attention to it. It is useless to me. Die.”

Jigen said dryly, then suddenly punched out, directly smashing toward Yuuji’s face.

Just this punch almost made an explosion sound.

Bang!

Yuuji raised his claw and took the punch head-on. After that, he flew out, turned over in the air, and stood steadily.

“Interesting. Your fist is very heavy. Even Guy, who has opened six gates, can’t compare to you in terms of physical skills.”

Yuuji swung his claw and felt the pain coming from his rough skin – although the pain soon disappeared, and with Yuuji’s powerful self-healing ability, this kind of damage was nothing.

If it were an ordinary ninja, the whole body of flesh and blood would have been blown up by that blow just now.

Yuuji observed Jigen’s palm.

“You have a secret technique that absorbs Ninjutsu. I have seen this ability in other people, but that guy is obviously more skilled than you.”

Yuuji spoke while looking at the other person and looking for an opportunity.

K?ma, this thing was very interesting. Not only was it a data backup of Otsutsuki’s people to revive, but it also has the ability to absorb all ninjutsu to turn into chakra.

Moreover, for pure-blooded Otsutsuki, the lethality of most ninjutsu would be greatly reduced when it hit them.

Because in the entire Otsutsuki clan, no matter if it was the main clan or the branch clan, they did not have the concept of “technique”. They themselves are a collection of techniques, and they did not need to use “seal” to launch “technique”.

The seal was a “medium” created by the natives of Ninja World in order to make use of external energy like chakra. It was Indra who was the first to use the seal, which could allow every individual with chakra to successfully launch “techniques”.

“Inferior creature, the lowly beast in your body actually made me feel a little surprised… I have never encountered such a kind of creature.”

Jigen looked ahead indifferently, passing the scene he saw back to his brain for Isshiki to receive.

To be honest, the experienced and knowledgeable Isshiki was also surprised.

“What kind of creature is this? The more I look at it, the more strange it is…”

Isshiki activated Byakugan without hesitation. He quickly glanced at Yuuji and closed it immediately.

“I can’t see through it… A huge shadow blocked my vision, but looking at the appearance of this half-Bijuu, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary animal…”

Isshiki was puzzled, ‘From the patterns, it seemed a bit like a plant?’

A plant that was even more animal than an animal… Such an ordinary planet would give birth to such a strange species?

“Interesting, I didn’t expect to have an unexpected harvest. Inferior creature, I can forgive your offense, but you have to offer your loyalty and join my organization… Kara.” Jigen said.

“The name of this organization is really bad. It doesn’t have any future. You will soon be killed by me, an inferior creature. I will make good use of your body.”

Yuuji laughed. In the next moment, he acted brazenly.

Since ninjutsu couldn’t solve the problem, he would use other ways to solve it.

For example… body techniques!

Boom!

Yuuji struck out sending Isshiki flying.

Two figures exploded with a terrifying roar like two meteorites colliding. They were both individuals with extremely strong physical attributes, and now they erupted with unimaginable body techniques.

In the current stage, physical skills were undoubtedly one of the methods that could cause the most harm to Jigen.

“Hmph, not stupid. You know that you can’t use ninjutsu against me.” Jigen said coldly.

He punched out but was slapped away by Yuuji’s claw. Immediately, his other claw flashed with terrifying long nails, carrying the strength to tear the earth apart and rushed toward Jigen’s body.

With a single blow, Jigen’s clothes were torn apart.

A terrifying wound appeared, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Not only that, Yuuji swung his tail behind him and smashed onto Jigen.

Halfway through, it triggered a small hurricane, causing a large amount of sand and stone to fly and dance in the air.

Jigen’s body was like a cannonball as it was forcefully blasted out. It smashed through the rock and rolled on the ground in a sorry state.

“…”

Jigen got up and looked down expressionlessly. The wound on his chest immediately healed.

He then patted the dust off his body.

“You have angered me. You are an inferior creature, but I am very interested in you… Maybe you have a chance to become my reincarnation vessel. You should be proud of it.”

Jigen said, conveying Isshiki’s will.

The next moment.

Rustle…

A strange pattern that resembled Sage Mode appeared on his face.

“Have you finally realized the truth…” Yuuji straightened his body, the tail behind him slowly swaying as he looked at the other party.

This change in Jigen meant that Isshiki in his brain could not help but exert his strength. The more strength and the longer the time used, the faster Jigen’s body would die.

This form of Jigen was clearly…

K?ma: Stage 1.
