"Uchiha Obito went to look for Yakushi Kabuto?"
Inside the Akatsuki base's laboratory, Orochimaru looked in puzzlement at the information Yakushi Kabuto had sent over.
This made his expression appear somewhat strange; his first reaction was that this fellow had gone mad.
He had just been beaten violently, and then he went to Konohagakure again?
"This fellow, did he act on his own?"
Orochimaru muttered this inwardly. To be honest, he could not figure out what Uchiha Obito was thinking at all.
Likewise, he could not understand how this fellow's strength had suddenly increased so rapidly.
The feeling Uchiha Obito gave him was indeed somewhat peculiar.
"Orochimaru-sama, did something happen?"
While he was pondering, a voice came from behind him.
Turning his head, he saw Kimimaro walking over at a slow pace.
Several years had passed, and Kimimaro had already grown up. Although his complexion was still deathly pale, and even his body looked somewhat thin and bony, those pair of white eyes of his, as well as the power within his body that was poised to erupt, displayed his current strength!
"So, it's Kimimaro."
Orochimaru collected his thoughts, smiling casually as he spoke.
"Kabuto's information seems to suggest that something interesting is about to happen again."
"Kabuto."
Hearing this name, Kimimaro also showed a slight moment of absent-mindedness; Yakushi Kabuto could be said to be his friend.
Back when he was severely ill, Yakushi Kabuto had taken care of him for a long time. Later, when Yakushi Kabuto went to Konohagakure, they had no way to meet again.
In the blink of an eye, so many years had already passed.
"Orochimaru-sama, how is he doing now?"
Although Kimimaro himself had undergone many changes, he was still incomparably respectful toward Orochimaru.
"He has not been exposed, and he is doing quite well. After all, Konohagakure does not mistreat its own people."
Orochimaru smiled, though he stroked his chin.
"Forget it, tell me about your situation. Did you come to see me for something or not?"
"Orochimaru-sama, I feel that I have already recovered, and I have even become stronger!"
Seeing that Orochimaru did not wish to say more, Kimimaro immediately stopped asking and instead lowered his head, speaking with utmost sincerity.
"These past years, it has all been thanks to Orochimaru-sama's protection that I have survived until now. But I also need to do something for Orochimaru-sama, so…"
"Having stayed for so long, do you want to move around a bit?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, looking at Kimimaro in front of him as he fell into thought.
Kimimaro's problem had actually been solved just by a pair of Byakugan; this even made him somewhat surprised.
Moreover, with the help of this pair of Byakugan, Kimimaro had not only harmonized his own power, he had even made himself become even stronger!
That Shikotsumyaku of his also seemed to have become even more exaggerated, and had even gained some things that surprised even him.
'Yin Release and Yang Release really are very similar to the Uchiha and Senju, then—'
Doesn't this mean that there is a connection between Hyūga and Kaguya, and between Senju and Uchiha?
Could Kimimaro also perhaps create something similar to the "power of all creation"?
Thinking of this, Orochimaru was also incomparably excited.
And if one wanted to completely release and activate such a power, it seemed that battle was also one way?
"Since that's the case, then you should go to Kirigakure."
After pondering for a moment, Orochimaru finally spoke, and this immediately made a trace of excitement flash through Kimimaro's Byakugan.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama!"
"Don't be in such a hurry. You and Suigetsu and Jūgo will form a team, and while you're at it, bring along those four with Sakon."
"Those four?"
"I understand, Orochimaru-sama."
Kimimaro nodded. Jūgo was his friend, and he was very happy to act together.
Although Hōzuki Suigetsu was not a very reliable person, he was at least from Kirigakure.
As for those four fellows with Sakon, Kimimaro did not think very highly of them, but since it was Orochimaru's order, he would definitely carry it out resolutely!
"Go down and get ready."
Orochimaru let out a light chuckle, then spoke.
"The Akatsuki side hopes that I can let my subordinates move around a bit more, so I'll just satisfy them."
"And incidentally, you can also have a good workout; even if you run into trouble, you still have them."
"That should more or less do it."
...
In the Land of Water, Uchiha Obito was searching for traces of the space.
With "Rin's" guidance, he knew roughly where the location was, but wanting to open this space was somewhat troublesome.
Although he had improved quite a bit now, and his eye power had become even stronger, breaking open space was not any simple matter.
Especially when it came to finding the trajectory of the spatial fluctuations; in his current state, he was still somewhat barely managing it.
Fortunately, after several days of preparation, he was almost ready as well.
"Then, now I can also carry out some attempts."
Obito took a deep breath, and his eyes began to slowly rotate.
"Release this fellow, and then I'll leave this place. That way, I can lower the probability of being targeted."
Obito was basically scared now; every time he would encounter Ōtsutsuki Genshiki, and the shadow this had left on him was indeed somewhat great.
Although he was also not too clear on why there was always such a high probability of encountering these inexplicable fellows, if he increased the number of these so-called "evolvers," perhaps it could help him avoid some trouble?
"Maybe I can lure Ōtsutsuki Genshiki over here, and then I can fight Kitagawa Gen in peace!"
Although Obito was a "fool," at this moment he also erupted with "astonishing wisdom."
"If I don't manage to lure him over, I can also bring Kitagawa Gen, and even Ōtsutsuki Genshiki who might appear at any time, over here. At that time—"
with two "evolvers" facing him, he might be able to observe more closely, and it would also be safer.
"Bastard."
Only, this was what Obito was thinking in his heart, but it almost made Isshiki faint from anger.
It had to be said, Obito this time had shown a slight bit of insight, but only just slightly.
"Hiding and watching—what use is that? You need to fight him, you need to fight continuously in order to continuously release the 'Kāma'!"
What Isshiki wanted was for Obito and Kitagawa Gen to fight nonstop, so he could relieve pressure while observing Kitagawa Gen at the same time.
But this guy actually came up with such a "heinous" idea—wasn't this just handing over his own "bait" for nothing?
"Fortunately, he's still thinking about going to fight. He's not beyond saving to that extent."
Isshiki rubbed his brow in pain. Actually, all this was still manageable. What made him unable to hold it in was that this fellow actually treated him as some "Rin."
Which part of me looks like you lower creatures?
"A lower creature is a lower creature. Even if you gained the faint power mutated from the fruit's power, it is nothing more."
Isshiki was somewhat irritated, but right now he could only watch this fellow mess around.
If he wanted to further control Obito, he needed the "Kāma" to continue decompressing.
"Right now!"
While he was pondering, Obito suddenly let out a low shout, and his Sharingan spun frantically.
In an instant, space twisted for a moment, and a strange black hole quietly emerged.
In the blink of an eye, countless black ribbon-like objects extended out from within the space; these black stripe-like things faintly carried the power of space!
"What is this?"
Obito was somewhat puzzled, but recalling how he would often be beaten into "trash" by "heaven-sent justice" at any moment, he almost immediately entered Kamui. He absolutely did not want to touch these messy kinds of powers.
[Buzz—]
At this moment, a vast power erupted from within the space.
This power trembled madly as if it were pouring out; in the next moment, the surrounding mist shattered, and the ground cracked open.
The surrounding mountains, rocks, and trees all collapsed silently in the blink of an eye!
This power shot straight into the clouds, then rippled outward across the sky.
"So this is an 'evolver'?"
Obito murmured, and that terrifying feeling made him somewhat shiver.
"It finally came out?"
But Isshiki silently nodded. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
"This way, I should be able to attract that fellow Genshiki, and I can attract even more people…"
His gaze slightly lifted toward the sky, and those strange eyes of his seemed able to see farther!
In that deep starry sky, two rays of light were flying at high speed.
At first glance they looked like two shooting stars, but upon looking carefully, one would discover that these two rays of light were clearly figures wrapped in chakra!
These two figures both looked very different from humans; on their foreheads grew horns, and the surging chakra formed the garments on their bodies.
They looked both mysterious and noble!
Only, at this moment, the speed of these two, who were like shooting stars, suddenly halted, and their gazes stared straight into the distance.
"Did you feel it, Kinshiki?"
Among the two, a short fellow spoke indifferently, while the tall and burly man beside him lowered his body very respectfully.
"Momoshiki-sama, it seems to be Isshiki-sama's aura, but it's also somewhat different."
"It seems that's correct. It's in this direction."
Momoshiki revealed a cold smile. Roughly a few years ago, he had sensed a strange aura, and thus he had brought Kinshiki over here.
Only, that aura had not appeared for a long time afterward, which also made him unable to confirm whether the direction he was traveling was correct or not.
But now, he could already be certain, and could even determine roughly who it was!
"Let's go. Just in time, we can take a look at what exactly is going on."
While he was speaking, the two once again turned into shooting stars and vanished from their original spot.
At the same time, within a star region closer to the Shinobi World, another figure similar to them also halted.
"That's right, it's in this direction. It seems I've found it. It's just that the aura is very different from last time."
This figure pondered for a moment, then immediately laughed.
"But this time it's certain—it seems to be Isshiki's aura. How truly interesting!"
After a brief self-talk, he also vanished from his original spot in an instant.
Not only those Ōtsutsuki outside the star region—Kitagawa Gen, who had been pondering for several days and was still thinking about how to meet Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, also sensed the aura of "his kin" at the first moment!
"So arrogant?"
He tilted his head and looked off into the distance, but very quickly he revealed a smile.
"You really do have guts. But that's fine as well."
"I've already remembered your chakra, my 'White Kāma'."
