Even Kaguya Otsutsuki felt a bit stunned at the moment Ichimomozuki appeared!
What was going on in this era? Powerful warriors who were rarely seen even within the Otsutsuki Clan were now showing up in clusters!
Under continuous shocks, Kaguya Otsutsuki's divine system-restrained rationality began to recover. "Damn it, I should have prioritized destroying the Moon and rescuing my main body earlier!"
Yet, she knew it herself—the enhanced Moon was not that easy to destroy. Even if she had kept her restraint before, accomplishing such a feat in front of so many people was still impossible!
Kaguya Otsutsuki calmed herself and thought seriously, "This era is indeed too unfamiliar to me. I need to find out just how many more people are hiding in the shadows..."
Thinking this, Kaguya Otsutsuki projected her sensing ability onto the God Tree, using its vines spread across the Moon to infinitely radiate her perception outward.
Seeing Kaguya Otsutsuki remain silent and expressionless, Ichimomozuki continued provoking, "Do you still remember what I said back then? I curse you—may you surely suffer the pain of betrayal by those close to you!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression remained calm, unshaken, "I never bother remembering the whining of losers!"
Hagoromo's face revealed surprise—how come Mother seemed more normal now?
Judging from previous situations, "betrayal" seemed to be a sensitive topic for her. She shouldn't be this calm, right?
Ichimomozuki's face darkened, "A loser? Seems like you're in no position to talk like that!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki responded, "At least I am, compared to you!"
"You disgraceful bloodline, today I'll..." Just as Ichimomozuki was about to attack in anger, Aizen walked out leisurely from behind the God Tree, "The 'Spring' has been captured. According to the rules, it should be my turn next, Lord Ichimomozuki—you've overstepped."
Ichimomozuki immediately became alert. Originally, the first descent was a punishment for the defeated side, yet this guy was actually competing with him—it meant his target was likely Kaguya Otsutsuki as well!
What a shameless situation—everyone treated this as his personal victory!
Before Ichimomozuki could even speak, he saw a Spatial Vortex appear ahead.
Shusei Soushi emerged from the vortex with Naruto and Sasuke, speaking calmly, "Kaguya Otsutsuki, isn't it time you returned my disciple's body?"
"Damn it, he's joining in too!" Ichimomozuki thought bitterly, involuntarily exclaiming, "I was the one who started this fight first!"
Seeing these bastards treating her like prey, Kaguya Otsutsuki started losing her cool again, "Enough! What do you insects take me for?"
"Can't you tell?" Ichimomozuki sneered, "You see others as food—I see you the same way too!"
"Food?" Kaguya Otsutsuki surveyed the three newcomers, her heart sinking further. According to her perception, although they weren't as strong as her prime state, they were definitely stronger than her current form!
Despite knowing the unfavorable situation, she still refused to show weakness. Kaguya Otsutsuki coldly shouted, "There's still another Otsutsuki, isn't there? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
As her words fell, the entire area fell silent.
Everyone exchanged glances. Toneri narrowed his eyes and asked, "Another Otsutsuki? What do you mean?"
Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance in their minds. Could it really be Otsutsuki Urashiki?
The Otsutsuki Urashiki from the Parallel World was long gone, but this timeline's Otsutsuki Urashiki had yet to appear.
Seeing their reaction, Kaguya sneered, "Seriously? You don't even know? Heh, looks like I'm not the only one being hunted after all!"
Hagoromo tensed up. "Mother controls the Ten-Tails. She can sense things we'd never detect!"
Ryushi no longer hid himself. Clapping his hands, he stepped out from the Void. "No wonder you're the greatest traitor in Otsutsuki history—you're the first to discover my existence!"
Ichimomozuki shrugged. "See? I told you this kind of strategy wouldn't work. For the Otsutsuki, there's no need for such elaborate plans—just charge in and fight!"
"The greatest in Otsutsuki history?" Though puzzled by the remark, Kaguya asked with a heavy expression, "Are you from the Main Family? Why don't I remember ever seeing you before? Could you have been born within the last thousand years?"
Ryushi calmly replied, "Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Otsutsuki Ryushi, and I've come to correct a mistake!"
Upon Ryushi's appearance, shockwaves rippled through the shinobi world's crowd.
"So the Gaka organization truly concealed another Otsutsuki!"
"Damn it, this is getting troublesome!"
"What are we afraid of? Given the Otsutsuki's arrogant nature, if his strength were truly formidable, he'd have already emerged to subjugate the entire world!"
"Exactly! He might not even be a match for Urashiki or Kinshiki!"
Amidst the clamor, Aizen looked helplessly at Otsutsuki Ryushi, who had revealed himself publicly.
After learning about Ryushi's plans from the White Snake Sage, he had carefully guarded against him, preparing a counter-ambush when Ryushi attempted to strike his main body.
But what was the result?
The one person who should have least likely detected anything ended up discovering Ryushi's presence!
Aizen quickly calmed himself despite the regret.
Changes in plans were only natural—it was impossible for everything to unfold exactly as he had anticipated.
Moreover, he felt genuinely curious about this Otsutsuki Ryushi.
According to what the White Snake Sage told me, Ryushi's clearly from the Main Family, yet even Momoshiki and Isshiki know nothing about him!
Plus, from the info he'd received from Sasuke Prime in a future timeline of the Parallel World, there had never been an Otsutsuki Ryushi in their world!
Although it could indeed be the result of diverging worldlines, it still seemed strange.
Also, this particular Otsutsuki had been overly cautious—sneaking around secretly and even planning a covert attack. That wasn't how a typical Otsutsuki should behave!
Take Momoshiki and Isshiki, for example. They'd lost to him before. But once they fused and their power surged, their first move was still to go after him—and his main body!
That was the attitude a superior Otsutsuki should have—stubborn to a fault!
Additionally, that Otsutsuki's complex emotions—barely detectable as his gaze passed over his main body—bothered him greatly!
That gaze definitely wasn't the reaction one should expect from an unknown Otsutsuki!
"Correct a mistake?" Seiki's voice grew heavier. "So you want to correct a mistake? Which one?"
Ryushi forced himself not to look at Seiki, acting calm as he said, "Of course it's to correct the wrong development of this world and return it back to its original path!"
"Original path? The path where your ancestors kept us like cattle to be bred?" Hagoromo questioned sharply.
Ichimomozuki scoffed, "Invaders? You're a descendant of invaders!"
Seeing Ichimomozuki about to say something else, Ryushi raised his right hand and cast his gaze toward Hagoromo. "I know you're not convinced. So I will give you an opportunity to start from scratch and 'fairly' compete with me!"
