"However, this guy seems a bit strong, doesn't he?"
The Senju brothers looked at Obito in front of them, their expressions somewhat solemn.
Especially seeing the black rod in Obito's hand, which made them realize that he had probably obtained Yin-Yang Release, just like Takemi.
"This is going to be troublesome..."
Of course, although it was troublesome, they would not shy away from the fight. In fact, they wanted to experience the strength of Yin-Yang Release.
'Troublesome immortal, and he even knows my information.'
Obito was extremely annoyed right now. These two Hokage were unexpectedly strong in combat.
Whether it was their use of Wood Release or Flying Thunder God, combined with the information they knew, it made it difficult for him to break through for a while.
'And what's even more crucial is that Takemi actually dealt with that evolutionist so easily?'
He had been following Takemi's battle and naturally saw the final outcome.
But this made him even more confused, why could Takemi resolve it so easily?
Yet he, facing two Edo Tensei, couldn't resolve them for a long time?
"How could this be?"
While Obito was feeling irritated, Kimimaro and the others weren't doing any better.
Tobirama had only briefly dealt with them, but he instantly took out four of them. This kind of oppressive feeling was the first time they had encountered it.
"Let's find an opportunity to withdraw."
Suigetsu couldn't help but gulp, those four guys weren't great people but their strength was decent.
Being taken out by Tobirama in a blink of an eye, it made him somewhat unable to hold it together.
"The reinforcements have done their part. If we can't win, let's leave quickly. Don't keep dragging this out."
"Hmph."
Kimimaro snorted, ignoring Suigetsu's words, but his Byakugan's peripheral vision was focused on Takemi nearby.
"Resolved so quickly? Takemi, how fast are you progressing?"
Kimimaro felt a bit dazed inside. He had never forgotten how Takemi had used Orochimaru's statue to block him.
Moreover, it was he who brought great humiliation to Orochimaru, and it was he who kept him in a low state.
He had always yearned to surpass Takemi, at least to do something for Orochimaru, but now the gap was growing wider and wider.
'I cannot easily admit defeat like this. I must do something for Orochimaru-sama. I must live up to Orochimaru-sama.'
Kimimaro roared inwardly, pulling out a bone spike and once again assuming a combat stance.
"Hmm?!"
However, at this moment, a powerful force erupted in the sky.
This intense Chakra fluctuation made everyone freeze, and when they looked towards the sky, their expressions suddenly changed drastically.
"That is..."
In the sky, Takeshiki extended a hand and pointed at another Ōtsutsuki.
That guy, having been defeated, was clearly trying to escape, but in just a blink of an eye, a vast power instantly erupted from that guy's body.
Buzz—
A vast glow erupted from his body, then struck the ground.
Rumble—
Rumble rumble—
Rumble rumble rumble—
The ground beneath their feet began to boil, as if the entire Land of Water was shaking.
Dust filled the air, rising from the earth, and a winding canyon, whose depth was unknown, quietly appeared before their eyes. This canyon continuously extended, as if stretching to the end of the earth, directly to the sea.
Because the canyon was too deep, even groundwater seeped out, pouring into it.
In the sky, the Ōtsutsuki who was hit suddenly broke into two halves. Blood rained down from the sky, staining the entire land.
"What is that?"
In Obito's consciousness, Isshiki looked at this scene with extreme astonishment. He failed to understand how Takemi had attacked.
He hadn't even figured out how Urashiki had lost, but for some reason, he felt a strange sense of comfort.
Because that's how he lost...
"What is this?"
Urashiki's expression was extremely ugly. He himself hadn't figured out what had happened, but he felt that he was not far from death.
His upper body kept plummeting towards the ground, and his peripheral vision looked at the figure in the sky.
He saw Takeshiki suddenly open 'Yomotsu Hirasaka' and instantly retrieve his broken lower body.
'He will definitely not let me go!'
Urashiki understood that Takeshiki was determined to kill, and his life was rapidly draining away. This left him with only one final choice, his Byakugan frantically scanned everything below.
Then he gritted his teeth and crashed heavily towards the ground.
Boom!
Another huge roar reverberated through the sky, and the ground shattered even more severely at this moment, with endless gravel shooting wildly in all directions.
Thick smoke and dust continuously billowed, as if to engulf everything. But the next instant, as a figure plunged in, the smoke and dust were shattered in a blink of an eye.
"Cough cough cough."
Urashiki coughed continuously, blood constantly spilling from his body, and his life at this moment seemed to have reached its end.
"How ugly."
Takemi walked slowly to his front, looking at him indifferently, then shook his head.
"Why must you go against your own destiny? Are you unwilling to become a part of me and share in that glory?"
"You lunatic—"
Urashiki's speech was somewhat slurred, but his eyes were still fixed on Takemi.
"Takeshiki, to attack a fellow clan member, you are the first. No, Isshiki was the first. You both deserve to die, to be surrounded and killed by your own clan, alone."
"Alone?"
Takemi sighed and shook his head, his face seemingly showing some 'sadness' and a touch of 'resolve'.
"I said, Isshiki-senpai has already made me understand that rules are the cage that binds us, and loneliness..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a surge of Chakra instantly erupted. Chakra Edible Creation was activated.
Urashiki immediately felt his life and power being frantically drained, and he was already on his last breath.
"One who stands at the pinnacle is destined to be alone, and this loneliness is true freedom."
"Lunatic..."
Urashiki's life grew weaker and weaker, he felt he was about to die.
"From the moment you did this... your destiny is already sealed, you traitor."
"You're wrong again."
But Takeshiki remained unmoved, he smiled and shook his head.
"The one who wins forges destiny, the one who loses is the traitor."
"I haven't lost, and destiny is forged by me, because those who cannot forge destiny are merely destiny's prey."
Speaking of this, Takeshiki paused for a moment. The energy in his hand was almost condensed into a pill.
He reined in his smile, and his expression became solemn.
"Thank you for your sacrifice, senpai. Thank you for upholding the dream that Isshiki-senpai and I share. We will meet on the path to Godhood."
"And I, too, shall surely transcend the heavens!"
