Shinji actually thought about persuading Isshiki Otsutsuki to join the camp against the Hegemon, but he soon dismissed this idea.
Because he knew clearly that any Otsutsuki who had participated in plundering planets would not have antagonistic feelings towards the Hegemon, because they were all 'plunderers' and they knew the power of the Hegemon better than anyone else.
And Isshiki Otsutsuki was exactly such an Otsutsuki!
To him, the Ninja World was just an ordinary hunting ground. There was neither affection nor any bond between him and the Ninja World. Therefore, Shinji felt that if he informed the other party about the Hegemon's invasion of the Ninja World, not only would the other party not assist him in fighting the Hegemon, but he would also use this to target him.
So Shinji dared not, and could not take this risk.
Besides this worry, Shinji also made no secret of his coveting of Isshiki Otsutsuki's 'Kokugan'.
Because Isshiki Otsutsuki's 'Kokugan' was a dojutsu Kekkei Genkai completely independent of Kaguya's lineage, different from any Kekkei Genkai currently existing in the Ninja World.
This meant that if Shinji obtained the 'Kokugan', his 'Susanoo Lamp' could get a huge completion in pupil power nature from the 'Kokugan'. By then, his harnessing of the 'Kokugan' would gain an unprecedented pupil power boost.
In addition, there was a very important reason compelling Shinji to deal with Isshiki Otsutsuki.
This was also the reason Kaguya Otsutsuki ambushed Isshiki Otsutsuki back then: if one wanted the God Tree to bear a 'Chakra Fruit', one must sacrifice a real Otsutsuki to the God Tree!
Back then, Kaguya Otsutsuki sacrificed Isshiki Otsutsuki, thereby obtaining a 'Chakra Fruit'. She just underestimated Isshiki Otsutsuki's ability to survive, not expecting the other party to parasitize the monk Jigen who happened to pass by in the form of 'Karma', surviving until now.
"Since he helped once anyway, presumably he shouldn't mind helping again!"
In Shinji's view, rather than letting Isshiki Otsutsuki harm the Ninja World or other worlds, it was better to sacrifice the other party to the God Tree again.
It could be considered waste utilization!
Toneri Otsutsuki also understood Shinji's meaning. Isshiki Otsutsuki was an enemy that needed to be eliminated!
He had no objection to this. After understanding Isshiki Otsutsuki's background, he knew that as descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki, they actually had no room for reconciliation with Isshiki Otsutsuki. If the other party really found a suitable 'vessel', it would inevitably trigger a new round of great war.
The Ninja World, with only a few years left, obviously couldn't withstand such torment!
Without staying longer, Shinji brought Toneri Otsutsuki back to the Ninja World, and then everyone returned to the Otsutsuki branch family's castle from the ruins battlefield together.
Passing through the debris belt suspended in the air, the group arrived at the temple enshrining the Giant Tenseigan.
At this time, Tenseigan puppets frozen into ice sculptures stood outside the temple, and at the entrance of the temple, Haku guarded there dutifully.
Nodding to Haku, Shinji said: "Come in together!"
"Yes!"
Haku entered the temple with everyone.
"So this is the Giant Tenseigan!"
"So beautiful!"
"Simply incredible..."
Mumei, Sasuke, and others seeing the Giant Tenseigan for the first time couldn't help but exclaim in admiration after seeing this dazzling divine object!
Snapping his fingers, Shinji lifted the barrier isolating the Giant Tenseigan.
In an instant, Toneri Otsutsuki restored the link with the Giant Tenseigan, breathing a slight sigh of relief in his heart.
And as the barrier was lifted, the might of the Giant Tenseigan also erupted, causing everyone present except Toneri Otsutsuki and Neji to change expression in unison.
"Fortunately, My Lord isolated the connection between the Giant Tenseigan and Toneri Otsutsuki!"
Those who fought with Toneri Otsutsuki before all had this thought in their minds at this moment, secretly rejoicing. Because if there was the help of the Giant Tenseigan, even if they joined forces, they probably wouldn't be Toneri Otsutsuki's opponents.
Although it wasn't the first time coming here, every time Shinji stepped into this temple, he still couldn't help but marvel at this masterpiece of the Otsutsuki branch family.
Suddenly thinking of something, Shinji took out a prosthetic body purchased from Heimdallr and placed it in front of the Giant Tenseigan.
"Puppet?"
Everyone looked over one after another.
Seeing this, Toneri Otsutsuki also couldn't help but examine the prosthetic body Shinji took out.
In the Ninja World, the pinnacle of puppetry was actually not on the surface of the Ninja World, but in the Otsutsuki branch family on the moon. Although the main reason for this was because the Otsutsuki branch family possessed the Giant Tenseigan capable of activating sentience in inanimate objects!
"Eh!"
After examining the prosthetic body, Toneri Otsutsuki immediately let out a soft cry of surprise.
Because this prosthetic body Shinji took out was not the common wooden structure, but mainly a metal structure throughout. It seemed to also integrate many precise mechanical instruments. Both design and workmanship were unheard of and unseen by him!
Shinji introduced to everyone: "This is a prosthetic body I brought back from another world. The main structure is made of superalloy, equipped with a weapon system, reconnaissance system, and energy system."
Mumei asked: "What is a prosthetic body?"
Shinji explained: "It's a mechanical body. People in that world can control different mechanical bodies by transferring consciousness!"
Toneri Otsutsuki asked: "Soul descent?"
Shinji nodded: "Similar principle!"
Of course, compared to using information as a carrier for consciousness and changing prosthetic bodies by uploading and downloading, Toneri Otsutsuki's method of using the power of the Giant Tenseigan to directly project his soul into the puppet body and occupy the puppet was undoubtedly simpler and more direct, while the former was more cumbersome and dangerous.
Seeing Toneri Otsutsuki somewhat interested, Shinji said: "Try it?"
"Okay!"
Toneri Otsutsuki sat cross-legged, then slowly closed his eyes. Then with a thought, his soul instantly detached from his body, like a beam of light, diving into the prosthetic body.
Immediately after, the prosthetic body lying on the ground suddenly sat up.
He first twisted his neck, then raised his hands to look, exclaiming: "Such delicate feeling, this prosthetic body is simply a work of art!"
This superalloy prosthetic body undoubtedly completely crushed all puppets in his castle in various performances.
Watching Toneri Otsutsuki instantly transfer his soul and control the prosthetic body on the ground, everyone else clicked their tongues in wonder.
After experiencing for a while, Toneri Otsutsuki's soul left the prosthetic body and returned to his own body, then said to Shinji: "Breathtaking design! Compared to it, these puppets in the castle are simply toys!"
Shinji said: "Can you try using the Giant Tenseigan to activate its sentience?"
