Chapter 265: Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki!
Land of Moon.
Deep within the forest.
Sarutobi Asuma's figure appeared.
At this moment, Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, was leading a small squad from the Land of Lightning into the Land of Moon, heading south.
On the other side.
White Zetsu had also relayed the message, and the Immortal Duo, Kakuzu and Hidan, were on their way.
However, unlike the Four-Tails Jinchuriki last time, Yugito Nii and her team were being constantly monitored by White Zetsu.
Asuma stroked his chin and thought to himself, "It seems I'll need an alias to avoid alerting Black Zetsu."
"What kind of alias would be good?"
Asuma pondered for a moment, then had a flash of inspiration: "Perhaps I should create an Ōtsutsuki alias."
"That's right."
"Ōtsutsuki!"
Asuma remembered quite a few members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
For example, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki.
But they didn't seem quite right.
"Then I'll create an original one... Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki!"
With that thought, Asuma's figure vanished, returning to the underground experimental base in the Sage Domain.
He then activated a clone.
This clone was different from the batch used for Uka; it was closer to the Ten-Tails.
Previously, experiments had failed, but later Asuma proposed using the Sage Cursed Seal and the power of the Sage Tree to stabilize the God Tree's genes, which he had indeed accomplished, making this batch of clones even more powerful.
Of course, for Asuma, it was still not perfect, so he hadn't used them yet, with only three samples preserved.
He still controlled the clone with a Spirit Clone.
The moment the clone activated and opened its eyes, its eyes immediately transformed into the Byakugan.
Immediately after, its black hair turned white, two horns grew on its forehead, and its robes were transformed into a white long robe using Six Paths Level chakra.
Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki, at your service!
Asuma looked on, nodding with great satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Let's go, time to get to work!"
With that, the two of them disappeared from the experimental base.
Land of Moon.
Asuma and Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki separated, with Asuma waiting ahead of Yugito Nii's path.
Meanwhile, Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki quietly appeared beside White Zetsu, who was monitoring Yugito Nii and her team.
"Who?"
The moment Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki dispelled its invisibility, White Zetsu sensed it, but before it could burrow underground, it was grabbed out of the tree by Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki.
White Zetsu's eyes widened as it looked at the stranger before it. It had initially thought it had encountered Asuma again, but it was not him.
And this appearance.
It felt that something was very wrong.
Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki looked at White Zetsu from a condescending height, as if looking at an ant, with a playful smile on its lips, "A creation of the Ten-Tails?"
"It seems this trip was not in vain."
"The Ten-Tails' chakra is scattered across various regions, and you are also collecting it. It seems someone has betrayed the Ōtsutsuki!"
White Zetsu was horrified, "You are Ōtsutsuki..."
Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki did not answer, its gaze shifting to underground.
At this moment, another White Zetsu was fleeing rapidly underground.
Well, in truth, it had sensed this long ago.
This kind of paired operation was actually a choice made by Zetsu after learning from previous lessons.
By sending out two White Zetsu to collect information, even if there was an accident, one could escape and return with the intelligence.
Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki had deliberately let that White Zetsu escape.
Otherwise, this alias would be meaningless.
"What will happen when Black Zetsu knows an Ōtsutsuki has arrived?"
"It should speed things up, right?"
"Tsk, it feels like the Ninja World is being messed up by the main body. Poor Black Zetsu..."
Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki chuckled inwardly.
With that thought, the White Zetsu on his hand shot out, retracted, and was then consumed entirely.
Meanwhile.
The squad led by Yugito Nii had quietly fallen into Sarutobi Asuma's Infinite Genjutsu.
Of course, Yugito Nii was the only one conscious.
At this moment.
Yugito Nii, with her proud, queen-like demeanor, warily eyed Sarutobi Asuma, her claws even extended.
"Is this a genjutsu?"
"What are you doing?"
Yugito Nii's peripheral vision took in the surrounding scenery.
"That's right, this is a genjutsu," Sarutobi Asuma said with a light laugh. "But I don't mean any harm, though I doubt you'd believe me."
"The reason I'm here is to give you a warning."
"You've already been targeted by the Akatsuki Organization. Your best option now is to return to the Land of Lightning the way you came."
"Otherwise, you'll suffer the same fate as the One-Tails Jinchuriki!"
Yugito Nii frowned and then said, "Thank you very much for your warning, but Kumogakure does not fear the so-called Akatsuki Organization."
"Furthermore, I believe in my own strength."
"After all, cats have nine lives!"
Sarutobi Asuma sighed upon hearing this, feigning helplessness. "As expected, another one who won't listen to advice."
"Did you warn the One-Tails Jinchuriki back then?"
Sensing no ill will from Sarutobi Asuma, Yugito Nii's attitude softened slightly.
"No."
"It was the Four-Tails Jinchuriki who defected."
Sarutobi Asuma explained, "I had subdued him and handed him over to the Stone Ninja, but he escaped from them and has now become a rogue ninja. Perhaps the Akatsuki Organization was behind it."
"Alright, since you don't believe me, let's make a bet!"
Yugito Nii shook her head. "While I appreciate your warning, I don't make bets with people. I'm sorry."
Sarutobi Asuma chuckled.
She looked like a proud queen, but her personality was interesting.
"You may not have a choice, but you'll thank me later."
After Sarutobi Asuma finished speaking, Yugito Nii fell into a deep sleep.
He then swiftly separated the Two-Tails within Yugito Nii, taking the yang chakra of the Two-Tails.
The genjutsu was silently lifted.
Yugito Nii's memories were sealed, leaving her completely unaware that she had been under a genjutsu, nor that half of her Tailed Beast had been taken.
The four of them traveled through the Land of Moon, entered the Land of Hot Water, and arrived at the ruins of a building hidden deep within a dense forest.
This was their destination.
This was once the territory of a ninja clan called the Hagoromo Clan.
This clan was annihilated during the Warring States period and was once an enemy of the Senju Clan.
Yugito Nii and her team had come to excavate the ruins, hoping to find ninjutsu, secret techniques, or similar items.
However, just as they arrived, uninvited guests appeared.
"It's the Akatsuki Organization!"
"Lady Yugito, let's retreat! They must be here for you!"
"Those guys, they already took the One-Tail and killed the Fourth Kazekage!"
The three subordinates urged her one after another.
Yugito Nii looked at Kakuzu and Hidan and said coldly, "The Akatsuki Organization, is it? Leave immediately, or I won't hesitate to kill you!"
"Hey, hey, don't act like we're easy to defeat!"
Hidan immediately shouted in annoyance. He swung his scythe, his eyes filled with evil killing intent as he looked at Yugito Nii and the other three Cloud Ninja, "Today, I will offer you all to the great Lord Jashin!"
Kakuzu immediately reminded him, "Not Jinchuriki, they must be alive!"
"Got it, got it!"
"Then I'll leave this arrogant, foolish woman to you!"
With that, Hidan shouted and lunged at the other three Cloud Ninja at high speed.
He wanted to take down these three!
"Yoohoo!"
Hidan shouted excitedly.
Just as Yugito Nii was about to move to intercept the rampaging Hidan, a giant ball of wind came whistling toward her.
The great battle had officially begun!
Not far away, Sarutobi Asuma and Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki were watching the battle in stealth.
"Hidan's taijutsu is only average."
Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki commented.
Sarutobi Asuma smiled and shook his head, "It's indeed average for us, but it's not bad against regular Chunin and Jonin."
"Besides, anyone who doesn't know his background will mean death once they lose their first life to him."
"You can't afford to make even the slightest mistake when fighting someone like him."
In the original story, he died at this guy's hands.
When he first arrived here, he had planned to kill Hidan immediately once he became stronger.
But now... he wasn't even concerned about it.
He was thoroughly enjoying watching the show.
Meanwhile.
Somewhere in the southern part of the Land of Fire.
Upon receiving the news from the White Zetsu clone, both Black Zetsu and White Zetsu were greatly shaken.
"Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
"The Ōtsutsuki Clan from beyond the heavens?"
White Zetsu asked.
Black Zetsu: "Most likely."
"That appearance, it can only be them."
"I didn't expect them to arrive so soon. It seems they're also after the Jinchuriki!"
White Zetsu said, "Kakuzu and Hidan are probably going to fail. Even if Nagato personally intervenes, can he..."
"No!"
Black Zetsu interrupted, "That Ōtsutsuki probably won't snatch the Two-Tails."
"His target is the Ten-Tails."
"He'll use the Two-Tails as bait."
White Zetsu frowned, "Then should we postpone our plan?"
"We can't postpone it, we need to accelerate it."
Black Zetsu continued, "Nagato's development of the Rinnegan is good, but not enough."
"Resurrecting Madara is the only way to counter this Ōtsutsuki!"
After waiting for a thousand years, how could he let this opportunity slip away?
Once his mother was resurrected, what was this Ōtsutsuki to him?
His mother hadn't killed an Ōtsutsuki before, had she?
...
Forest Ruins.
Wind Style, Fire Style, Lightning Style, Water Style... The entire battlefield was in disarray, reduced to scattered ruins by Kakuzu's powerful might and large-scale ninjutsu.
And Yugito Nii finally realized the might of the Akatsuki Organization.
That crazy guy was one thing, he wasn't much of a threat.
But this old man who specialized in ninjutsu was terrifyingly ruthless, even covering his own allies with his large-scale ninjutsu. He was a madman!
However, as the flames subsided, Yugito Nii's pupils constricted as she saw Hidan, who was seemingly unharmed.
This crazy-looking guy was also not normal.
"You three leave immediately!"
Seeing her three injured subordinates, Yugito Nii made a decision.
"Lady Yugito, let's retreat together!"
"Yeah, these two guys are too strong!"
The three injured Cloud Ninjas said in succession.
"If we all retreat together, none of us will be able to get away."
Yugito Nii shook her head, her expression solemn as she said, "You all retreat, I'll cover the rear."
"Return to the Land of Lightning as fast as you can and bring reinforcements!"
"This is the best way!"
The three Cloud Ninja hesitated at her words.
Seeing this, Yugito Nii smiled, "You know, cats have nine lives!"
"You know my abilities; it won't be easy for them to capture me!"
"I'll definitely hold out until you get back!"
The three Cloud Ninja grit their teeth, then nodded and retreated quickly.
They also knew that staying with their injuries would only make them a burden to Yugito Nii. Leaving now was the best choice.
For themselves, and for Yugito Nii!
Kakuzu and Hidan did not pursue.
Though the latter seemed somewhat displeased.
Yugito Nii looked at the two, and the dark red Tailed Beast Chakra began to manifest on her body.
The next moment, her figure vanished.
Her speed was even faster than before!
Puff!
Hidan didn't have time to react before a chunk of flesh was torn from his face, sending him flying.
Kakuzu raised his hand, hardening his entire body with Earth Style, and exchanged a blow with the incredibly fast Yugito Nii.
He didn't break through her defense.
Yugito Nii's figure appeared on a large rock, looking at Kakuzu with a slight frown.
Her defense was too strong!
"Damn it!"
"You guys who offended the Evil God!"
Hidan got up, the wound on his face rapidly healing, and charged at Yugito Nii with his scythe.
Kakuzu formed hand seals, and large-scale Ninjutsu bombardment began once more.
The fierce battle resumed, with Sarutobi Asuma and Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki watching with great interest.
Yugito Nii was quite strong, but she had run into Kakuzu and Hidan, the Immortal Duo.
Especially since Kakuzu was a clone impersonating him, Sarutobi Asuma.
Five minutes later.
Yugito Nii's blood was taken by Kakuzu, then handed over to Hidan, who critically injured her with a Jashin ritual.
The battle ended, and the two left with Yugito Nii.
Sarutobi Asuma handed the Two-Tails over to Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu and Hidan, with Yugito Nii, traveled through the Land of Hot Water, then headed east into the Land of Rice before entering a cave.
A torii gate outside the cave served as a barrier.
Inside the cave.
A projection of Deva Path Pain appeared, forming hand seals to summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
The extraction of the Two-Tails began!
Outside the cave, Sarutobi Asuma and Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki waited quietly.
Inside the cave, as the Tailed Beast's power was continuously siphoned away, Yugito Nii, whose consciousness was already somewhat hazy, suddenly regained some clarity.
A new memory surfaced in her mind.
It was the memory of meeting Sarutobi Asuma and falling victim to Genjutsu.
"He was right..."
At this moment, the proud Yugito Nii couldn't help but feel regret.
Yet, a sliver of curiosity and anticipation lingered in her heart.
What bet did that guy, known as a Ninja Demigod, want to make with her?
Her consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
Outside the cave, night had fallen.
Meanwhile.
In the Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
The Fourth Raikage was furious. He smashed his desk to pieces before personally leading his forces out of the village, traveling at high speed to rescue Yugito Nii!
However, by the time they arrived, they only found a battlefield of ruins.
Meanwhile, inside a cave in the Land of Rice, Yugito had already been swallowed by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
With the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path gone, the other Akatsuki Organization members dispersed one by one. Deva Path Pain said, "Kakuzu, Hidan, immediately take the body of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki to rendezvous with Orochimaru."
After speaking, Deva Path Pain's projection vanished.
"Let's go!"
Kakuzu turned and walked out.
Hidan, unwillingly grabbed Yugito Nii, and grumbled, "Hey, I didn't kill anyone this time. Lord Jashin is very displeased!"
Kakuzu's footsteps didn't falter. He said nonchalantly, "If you want to kill someone, you can wait here."
"The Fourth Raikage should be coming soon!"
Hidan quickly caught up and snorted, "We're teammates, so we should stay together!"
"Sorry, not interested!"
Kakuzu replied indifferently.
However, as the two of them just walked out of the cave, Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki appeared before them.
Kakuzu's body immediately flickered as he moved away.
Hidan, carrying Yugito Nii, looked at the bizarrely shaped Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki. Just as he was about to speak, Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki appeared before him and grabbed his neck.
Crack!
Hidan's neck snapped, and he was then thrown to the ground like a dead dog by Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki.
Yugito Nii had already been taken by him.
Having received a telepathic message from Sarutobi Asuma, Kakuzu retreated at full speed without a moment's delay.
If not for Sarutobi Asuma's message, he would have almost truly believed an Ōtsutsuki had descended.
"Hey, Kakuzu!"
"You bastard!"
Hidan shouted.
Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki lightly snorted, activating his Byakugan. With a bang, Hidan's neck exploded, separating his head from his body.
"Damn it!"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Lord Jashin will definitely punish you!"
"Jashinism will give you the most terrible punishment, you scoundrel!"
Hidan cursed.
He could already feel that even with his immortality, he wouldn't be able to escape.
This guy in front of him was unfathomably strong!
"Jashin?"
"Then I'll look forward to it!"
Ōtsutsuki Kamishiki chuckled.
