Chapter 454 - Target: Ōtsutsuki Isshiki

"This… what is going on?"

Tsunade asked with a look of surprise, her expression filled with shock as she felt the immense transformation taking place inside her body.

"It's like this."

Kitazawa did not hide anything from her. He calmly explained the matters concerning the Sage of Six Paths and the Ōtsutsuki Clan, describing the origins of Chakra and the truth behind the Ninja World.

"So, Ninjas were born because of the Ōtsutsuki Clan?" Tsunade felt an overwhelming shock.

She stood frozen in place for quite a long time, unable to immediately recover her senses.

"You have absorbed Kaguya's Chakra. Your strength is already no less than that of an average member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan." Kitazawa reminded her.

"And what about you?" Tsunade looked straight at him and said seriously,

"This pill is more suitable for you to eat. I don't need it." Kitazawa felt a warm feeling rise in his heart.

He reached out and gently stroked her cheek.

"No respect for your sensei." Tsunade grabbed his wrist with a bright smile and asked playfully, "I feel like I might be able to beat you now. Want to spar?"

Kitazawa's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard those words.

With a swift motion, he pulled Tsunade into his arms, his right hand pressing lightly against her rounded and firm hips.

"I wasn't talking about that kind of sparring!" Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said.

"What abilities do you have now?" Kitazawa asked while catching the faint fragrance of her body.

At the moment, he only knew that Tsunade had awakened Wood Release, the Rinnegan, and the Byakugan.

It was worth mentioning that the Byakugan she had awakened was not the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan, but rather the Ōtsutsuki Clan's Byakugan.

"I received some information," Tsunade said thoughtfully. "There are two key abilities: Yomotsu Hirasaka and Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack."

Kitazawa fell into brief contemplation.

Both Yomotsu Hirasaka and Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack were abilities originally used by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

Since Tsunade had inherited Kaguya's Chakra, it was perfectly reasonable for her to awaken these two powers.

Moreover, these abilities suited her extremely well.

Before this, aside from Medical Ninjutsu, Tsunade's greatest specialty had always been Taijutsu.

And Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was widely considered the strongest Taijutsu technique currently known.

As for Yomotsu Hirasaka, it was a rare space-time technique that could greatly increase the strength of any Shinobi who possessed it.

"Then spend some time familiarizing yourself with them first." Kitazawa thought for a moment before continuing.

"When the time comes, you'll go with me to deal with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki."

"Didn't you say he was hiding?" Tsunade looked up at him and asked curiously. "Have you already found his location?"

"I couldn't find him before, but now I have a way." Kitazawa squeezed her waist lightly and replied.

The method he referred to was naturally the Rinne Sharingan.

Tsunade's body trembled faintly. She raised herself slightly on her toes and pressed her red lips against Kitazawa's.

Kitazawa immediately responded.

Tsunade closed her eyes, and her soft, full thighs instinctively stepped closer, pressing tightly against him.

Without hesitation, Kitazawa wrapped his arms around her. Her sleeveless top was squeezed tightly, outlining her graceful curves.

"Let's… let's go back." Tsunade pulled away slightly, finding a brief moment to speak.

Kitazawa gave a soft response and sealed her lips once again. At the same time, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The two instantly returned home.

Back at home, Tsunade no longer held back.

Her sleeveless top slid down from her snowy shoulders, revealing a large area of smooth, fair skin.

Before Kitazawa could react, he was pulled into a warm and soft embrace. Soon, he noticed the difference in Tsunade's body after she had obtained Kaguya's Chakra.

In the past, Tsunade relied on the Yin Seal to maintain her body's peak condition.

But now she could achieve the same effect naturally, even without using the seal. More accurately speaking, it was even better.

After all, a naturally powerful body was far superior. However, this also created another problem.

The gap in strength between Tsunade and Kitazawa had now narrowed significantly.

As a result, Kitazawa was forced to take three days of rest. If he had not retained a trace of rationality, it might not have been just three days.

It might have turned into three months. Still, occasionally spending three chaotic days and nights like that was not such a bad thing.

---

August 1st.

The Capital of the Land of Fire had fully entered the peak of summer. The temperature had risen considerably.

However, this had no effect on Kitazawa at all. With his current strength, even if he were placed inside a volcano, he would not feel any heat.

Kitazawa pushed open the door and entered the Hokage Office.

Konan was already waiting inside. Besides her, there was another person. Kaguya.

She had already changed into Anbu clothing and was wearing a mask.

Other than her snow-white hair and the two horns on her head, no one would ever imagine that she was the legendary Rabbit Goddess.

"Supreme Lord." Konan and Kaguya greeted him at the same time. Though the latter clearly sounded far less willing.

Kitazawa nodded slightly.

He walked toward the Hokage desk and sat down. After sitting down, he closed his eyes and began to think.

He was considering how to locate Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. His previous idea had been to use the Rinne Sharingan.

In theory, this was possible. With sufficient Chakra, the Rinne Sharingan could scan the entire Ninja World.

But there were two problems.

First, the Rinne Sharingan was essentially a combination of the Rinnegan and Sharingan, not a Byakugan.

Second, if he scanned the entire Ninja World, then at the moment he discovered Isshiki…

Isshiki would also discover him.

In other words, it would alert the enemy. The most troublesome possibility was that Isshiki would hide.

Isshiki possessed two extremely dangerous ocular abilities.

The first was Sukunahikona.

Kitazawa had already obtained it through the system.

Its ability allowed the user to shrink any inanimate object, while living beings could only shrink themselves.

Shrinking alone might not seem terrifying, but Isshiki had another ocular power.

The second was Daikokuten.

This ability allowed him to store shrunken objects inside a pocket dimension where time stood still.

He could also retrieve those objects instantly. When combined, these two abilities formed an almost perfect survival technique.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could shrink himself and hide inside that pocket dimension.

Back when he survived Kaguya's betrayal, these two abilities had played a crucial role.

Fortunately, Kitazawa had a way to deal with them.

That method was Amenominaka. This was an ability granted by the Rinne Sharingan.

The six dimensions within Amenominaka were all controlled by the user. In other words, they functioned like a spatial prison.

Without Double Kamui or Yomotsu Hirasaka, Isshiki would not be able to escape.

But if Kitazawa wanted to drag him into Amenominaka, a surprise attack would work best.

In simple terms, he needed to locate Isshiki without being detected, then immediately activate Amenominaka.

Using the Rinne Sharingan to scan the entire world was therefore not the best approach.

Kitazawa suddenly thought of another possibility. Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Infinite Tsukuyomi used the moon to cast Genjutsu upon the entire Ninja World. Although it was said to use the moon itself, it actually relied on moonlight.

Kitazawa realized he could modify Infinite Tsukuyomi into something else.

An Infinite Perception technique. It would also use moonlight. But instead of casting Genjutsu, it would function as a worldwide sensing network.

Wherever moonlight reached, everything could be perceived. And since it relied on natural moonlight, it would not alert Isshiki.

That would allow Kitazawa to achieve his goal. Thinking of this, he turned to look at Kaguya.

Infinite Tsukuyomi was a Kekkei Mōra, the highest level of Genjutsu. Modifying it would take a long time.

Kitazawa intended to have Kaguya assist him in order to shorten that time.

Although she only had one percent of her Chakra left, her knowledge and abilities were still intact.

"Kaguya," Kitazawa spoke and explained his idea.

"I want a reward," Kaguya answered immediately.

"I can give you one percent of my Chakra." Kitazawa smiled slightly.

Although Kaguya's Chakra had been devoured by Tsunade, any Chakra would still work.

He intended to temporarily give her a portion of his own Chakra.

Once they captured Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, this small investment would return thousands or even tens of thousands of times.

"Too little," Kaguya spoke in a dissatisfied tone, clearly unhappy with the offer.

"If you try to bargain again, I will take back all of your remaining Chakra." Kitazawa glanced at her calmly and spoke in an indifferent voice.

Kaguya's expression instantly froze.

She was furious, yet she did not dare to argue. In the end, she could only lower her head and remain silent.

Half a month later, with Kaguya's assistance, Kitazawa finally obtained the highest-level sensory Ninjutsu.

Infinite Perception.

Just like Infinite Tsukuyomi, it was a Kekkei Mōra, created through the fusion of seven Chakra nature transformations.

That night, Kitazawa activated Infinite Perception.

The ocular power of the Rinne Sharingan spread throughout the Ninja World along with the moonlight.

In an instant, everything within the Ninja World entered Kitazawa's perception.

Soon, he discovered Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. Or more precisely, the body he was currently possessing: Jigen.

Jigen was originally a monk, and his appearance made him very easy to identify. However, after locating him, Kitazawa did not deactivate Infinite Perception.

With his current strength, he could maintain the technique indefinitely.

This was an idea he had just thought of. With Infinite Perception, he could effectively monitor the entire Ninja World.

If anyone attempted to disrupt the peace of the world, he would know immediately. Of course, constantly maintaining it was unnecessary.

Too much information would flood his mind every moment, which would quickly become irritating.

Therefore, Kitazawa decided to activate it once every week to observe the state of the Ninja World.

"Did you find him?" Tsunade, standing beside him, asked.

"I've confirmed his location." Kitazawa looked at her and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Of course." Tsunade clenched her fists confidently. She had long wanted to test the strength she had gained.

"After I pull him into Amenominaka, you use Yomotsu Hirasaka to enter," Kitazawa instructed her briefly before disappearing from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared outside a temple.

He paused for a moment, concealing all of his aura before walking inside like an ordinary Shinobi.

After all, shinobi warfare is information warfare. This principle remained true even at the level of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki knew absolutely nothing about Kitazawa. This meant Kitazawa could launch a direct ambush.

Even if Isshiki remained cautious, he would never have imagined that Kitazawa possessed the Rinne Sharingan.

In theory, there should only be one Rinne Sharingan in the entire Ninja World.

After all, there had only been one God Tree fruit, and it had already been consumed by Kaguya.

"I wonder what business the benefactor has visiting so late at night?" A bald man dressed in white robes suddenly appeared.

Without saying a word, Kitazawa activated Amenominaka.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was instantly dragged into the dimension.

"Amenominaka?!" Isshiki looked around at the endless snow and ice, his expression changing dramatically.

Kitazawa casually waved his hand. A stream of Chakra shot toward Tsunade.

Receiving the signal, Tsunade immediately used Yomotsu Hirasaka to enter the dimension.

"Yomotsu Hirasaka? What is your relationship with Kaguya?" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki asked with a gloomy expression.

It was obvious he had fallen into a trap.

Tsunade smiled faintly. Then she raised her fist. Chakra Enhanced Strength!

With a single punch, the surrounding space twisted violently.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's pupils shrank. He sensed danger.

Strictly speaking, Chakra Enhanced Strength was not Taijutsu. It was a force amplification technique.

When used by the current Tsunade, its destructive power was sufficient to injure Isshiki.

Daikokuten!

Isshiki's eyes flashed.

Several black cubes appeared instantly and shot toward Tsunade.

Tsunade moved swiftly, kicking away the cubes with both hands and feet.

Then she raised her hand. Several black receivers appeared in her grasp and flew toward Isshiki.

Isshiki quickly dodged.

After evading the receivers, he raised his own hands and fired several black receivers in response.

Shinra Tensei!

Tsunade switched to her Rinnegan. An invisible repulsive force erupted, colliding with the incoming receivers.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki frowned. He was completely confused by the sudden appearance of Kitazawa and Tsunade.

At first, he suspected they were related to Kaguya.

But now he doubted that. He knew Kaguya well.

That woman was obsessed with Chakra. She would never share her Chakra with anyone.

In fact, it seemed more likely that Kitazawa and Tsunade had already defeated Kaguya.

Regardless of the truth, Isshiki realized something clearly. He had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.

There was no way for him to escape Amenominaka. Although he possessed space-time abilities, he had never consumed the God Tree fruit.

Space-time Ninjutsu also had different levels. And Amenominaka was the highest level.

Therefore, only one option remained. Kill Kitazawa.

If Kitazawa died, Amenominaka would collapse automatically.

But the problem was, Isshiki had no idea how strong Kitazawa actually was.

He only knew that Kitazawa could control Amenominaka. While fighting Tsunade, Isshiki simultaneously searched for a way to deal with Kitazawa.

Although Tsunade was powerful, she was roughly on his level. The pressure she created was not overwhelming.

[Current Mission: Defeat Ōtsutsuki Isshiki]

[Mission Reward: Daikokuten]

[Accept?]

Kitazawa nodded slightly.

If he obtained Daikokuten, then combined with Sukunahikona, he could unleash the true potential of both abilities.

However, he was in no hurry. Instead, he quietly observed the battle between Tsunade and Isshiki.

Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!

After fighting Isshiki for several minutes, Tsunade realized she could not defeat him quickly.

She clenched her fists. In an instant, Countless fist shadows surged toward Isshiki.

Sukunahikona!

Isshiki did not dare to face it directly.

After all, he was currently possessing Jigen, not using his true body. The countless fist shadows shrank instantly.

Isshiki quickly dodged.

"How troublesome." Tsunade had not expected that Sukunahikona could shrink even fist shadows.

She immediately formed hand seals.

Wood Release — Wood Golem Technique!

She did not use Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands, since she had not learned Sage Mode.

Sukunahikona!

Isshiki used the same trick again.

The enormous Wood Golem rapidly shrank to the size of an ant. But doing so consumed a tremendous amount of Chakra.

After all, the stronger the technique, the more Chakra it required to shrink.

Seeing this, Tsunade launched another Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. The fist shadows rushed toward Isshiki.

Isshiki instinctively prepared to use Sukunahikona again.

But at that moment, Kitazawa finally raised his hand. Tsunade alone could not defeat Isshiki.

Suddenly, the entire space trembled. Countless ice spears erupted from the ground, flying toward Isshiki like deadly lances.

Isshiki's heart jolted. At the critical moment, he slammed both hands onto the ground.

Summoning Technique!

A massive Ten-Tails appeared, blocking the attack.

Kitazawa's eyes narrowed. This Ten-Tails was clearly different from the one he possessed.

It looked far younger. However, discovering a second Ten-Tails was actually a pleasant surprise.

With a mere thought, Kitazawa caused countless ice spears to pierce through the Ten-Tails' body, pinning it firmly to the ground.

Isshiki seized the moment to escape Tsunade's attack.

But before he could react, Kitazawa activated: Sage Art — Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!

A colossal Thousand-Armed Kannon Statue appeared. Unlike before, a Rinne Sharingan had appeared on its forehead.

Countless fists descended. They slammed into Isshiki's body repeatedly. 

Isshiki screamed as his body was crushed into bloody fragments. Yet as a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, he still had not died.

Kitazawa calmly walked forward. Then he activated Chakra Edible Creation.

As the pill formed in his hand, Isshiki's remaining Chakra vanished completely while his body turned into ashes.

Just like Shinobi, if an Ōtsutsuki's Chakra is completely exhausted, their life will also come to an end.
