Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, under a light drizzle, a figure walked into the abandoned town.

Inside the cave, Nagato, who had been looking down, suddenly opened his eyes: "It's here!"

Obito Uchiha, who was not far away, stood up: "What's the next step? Should we send the information back first?"

Nagato stood up and said, "Let's confirm this first!"

In the abandoned town, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki stopped and slightly raised his head: "Have we been discovered?"

"So it's sensory ninjutsu, huh!"

A spatial vortex appeared, and then Obito Uchiha and Nagato emerged from it.

"Sharingan and Rinnegan..."

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked at the two of them and said calmly, "Is it just the two of you?"

"You must have obtained my information from Kaguya Otsutsuki, but I'm curious, how did you manage to find me?"

Even Kaguya Otsutsuki was unaware that he resided within the body before her.

However, neither Obito Uchiha nor Nagato intended to answer. Obito Uchiha directly activated his eye technique, attempting to use Kamui to twist off one of Isshiki Otsutsuki's arms.

But the next moment, Otsutsuki Isshiki disappeared from their sight.

However, Obito Uchiha, with his Sharingan, quickly noticed the shrunken Isshiki Otsutsuki and immediately raised his hand to shoot out a shuriken.

But then Otsutsuki Isshiki disappeared!

Did they escape?

Do not!

Obito Uchiha sensed spatial fluctuations behind him and immediately whispered, "Behind you!"

Shinra Tensei!

Nagato turned around and raised his palm, unleashing an invisible repulsive force.

boom!

Two invisible forces collided, accompanied by a deafening roar, creating a terrifying shockwave that swept in all directions.

Obito Uchiha and Nagato immediately retreated.

After the blast wave subsided, billowing smoke and dust followed.

Obito Uchiha suddenly whispered, "Watch out!"

The next moment, a black rod suddenly appeared and pierced through his body.

Nagato's figure flickered, but he didn't completely dodge; two black rods appeared on his left arm.

Otsutsuki Isshiki appeared in mid-air, first glancing at Uchiha Obito: "Space-time ability..."

"So, it seems my information has been leaked too?"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki frowned, a hint of doubt in his mind.

Even Kaguya Otsutsuki shouldn't know about his abilities.

The situation before him felt somewhat strange.

"In that case, let's take them down and see what the reason is!"

Otsutsuki Ichishiki raises his hand.

The next moment, a large number of black rods suddenly appeared.

As Obito Uchiha's figure flickered, he activated his intangibility. When Nagato realized that he could no longer dodge after a series of dodges, he immediately spread his arms to form an all-around rebound barrier.

But suddenly, a huge black cube crashed down, crushing the rebound barrier formed by Shinra Tensei.

Nagato reacted extremely quickly, summoning a stone panda for defense, but it was immediately crushed to pieces.

However, this also bought him time to withdraw from the space enclosed by the cube.

Asura Path!

Nagato grew a third arm, and with a flick of his five fingers, it transformed into rockets that were launched outwards.

Almost simultaneously, Obito Uchiha once again activated Kamui to lock onto Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Otsutsuki Isshiki once again shrunk his body to escape Kamui.

But when the rocket arrived, it exploded with a bang, covering everything in flames, but the raging fire quickly disappeared.

"It really can absorb ninjutsu!"

"It has the same effect as my Kamui..."

Obito Uchiha immediately shouted, "Use that technique!"

Nagato raised his hand, aiming at the spot where the firelight had disappeared.

All things guide the heavens!

Otsutsuki Isshiki was sucked in, and Obito Uchiha widened his eyes, locking onto the tiny Otsutsuki Isshiki once again.

But then, the giant black cube blocked Nagato's cube, and Otsutsuki Isshiki moved at lightning speed, breaking free from Kamui's lock.

Otsutsuki Isshiki, whose body had grown back to its original size, frowned slightly as he looked at Uchiha Obito.

What an annoying ability!

None of his methods could work against Obito Uchiha.

With Obito Uchiha around, it became impossible for him to deal with Nagato, the user of the Rinnegan, first.

"It seems we have to find a way to get rid of this Sharingan user."

Thinking to himself, Otsutsuki Isshiki lunged forward, charging toward Uchiha Obito at incredible speed.

Bang bang bang!

In close combat, Obito Uchiha was no match for him after only a few rounds and had to resort to intangibility.

Nagato seized the opportunity, activated the Heavenly Star Seal given to him by Hoshinobi, and unleashed Shinra Tensei with all his might.

The black rods and black cubes stuck in the ground were all blown away.

Even the Byakugan ability of Isshiki Otsutsuki couldn't completely counteract such power, and he was sent flying.

Immediately following, the All-Encompassing Heavenly Guidance!

Otsutsuki Isshiki's body was sucked in.

Obito Uchiha used Kamui Lock again.

This time, instead of shrinking, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki summoned several black cubes.

One blocked the Universal Pull, while the rest were all smashed towards Obito Uchiha, forcing Obito to abandon using Kamui to deal with Isshiki Otsutsuki and instead intangibly transform himself to avoid being crushed into a meat patty.

Otsutsuki Isshiki's figure immediately disappeared.

Obito Uchiha's ethereal body slowly emerged from the black cube.

Suddenly, black rods appeared on Obito Uchiha's body.

puff!

Obito Uchiha coughed up blood, then staggered and knelt on the ground: "This guy deliberately made me use Kamui, then used a space-time ninjutsu to enter my Kamui dimension..."

Nagato was startled: "Has Kamui been broken?"

All things guide the heavens!

Nagato immediately pulled Obito Uchiha to his front.

But just as he was about to remove the black rod from Obito Uchiha, Obito shouted, "Watch out!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A large number of black rods appeared, and Nagato dodged them one by one. In the end, he had no choice but to use Shinra Tensei to deflect all the black rods. But the next moment, he was blasted away by a punch from the suddenly appearing Otsutsuki Isshiki, and he spat out blood.

"Such immense power..."

Before Nagato could control his body, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had already pursued him again, delivering several punches that completely rendered Nagato unable to resist. He landed in a tea cauldron.

"Oh no, it's a sealing artifact..."

Nagato gritted his teeth, wanting to unleash Shinra Tensei, but the next moment, several black rods pierced through his body, and then the lid fell, sealing him away.

On the other side, Obito Uchiha saw Nagato sealed away in the blink of an eye and quickly activated the Natural Seal.

With a roar, a massive burst of chakra erupted, Susanoo expanded, and at the same time, all the black rods on Obito Uchiha's body broke.

"Oh?"

"The power passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan, it seems they're going to use their true abilities."

Looking at the towering, fully-formed Susanoo, Otsutsuki Isshiki became even more serious: "In that case, I'll get serious too."

Obito Uchiha took a deep breath, his Susanoo grabbed with both hands, and the blade of Susanoo extended out, then he slashed at Isshiki Otsutsuki.

The great war has begun again.

However, Otsutsuki Isshiki, having unleashed his power, is even stronger and faster.

With a roar, Otsutsuki Isshiki dodged Susanoo's attacks time and time again.

"Too slow..."

With a hint of disdainful mockery, Otsutsuki Isshiki appeared behind Susanoo.

Obito Uchiha turned and slashed with his sword. The Otsutsuki shrank his body to avoid it, then his speed increased dramatically. In an instant, he was in front of Susanoo's head and threw a punch.

boom!

The Susanoo shattered, and Obito Uchiha was shocked. He immediately intangible his body, allowing Isshiki Otsutsuki to pass through it.

But Obito Uchiha immediately deactivated his intangibility.

He no longer dares to remain in a state of intangibility for long, lest he give Ōtsutsuki Isshiki an opportunity to exploit.

However, as soon as Obito Uchiha released his Hollowfication, a large number of black rods appeared.

After landing, Obito Uchiha dodged repeatedly, but in the end he had no choice but to use his intangibility.

Ōtsutsuki used the same trick again, and a black cube fell from the sky.

Obito Uchiha watched the falling black cube, then glanced at the black sealing cauldron out of the corner of his eye, thinking to himself, "I'll clasp my hands in greeting..."

Obito Uchiha knew very well that he was no match for Isshiki Otsutsuki at all. If things continued, he would probably expose more weaknesses and be caught by Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Therefore, without any hesitation, space distorted, and Obito Uchiha sucked himself into the Kamui dimension.

Rumble!

One by one, the black cubes landed, and Otsutsuki Isshiki, suspended in mid-air, coldly snorted, "They escaped?"

"It seems we have to change our plans..."

Releasing the current state, Otsutsuki Isshiki looked back at all the black cubes, then went to the sealing cauldron and opened it.

Looking at Nagato, Otsutsuki Isshiki said, "You, who once served as the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, are barely suitable to become my vessel."

Nagato's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and he immediately realized that Otsutsuki Isshiki intended to use him as a vessel for resurrection.

Just like Madara Uchiha did to Kaguya Otsutsuki before.

"This is troublesome..."

Nagato's heart sank.

……

In the Hokage's office in Konoha Village, Minato Namikaze, who was busy at work, suddenly looked up and saw Obito Uchiha appear.

"Obito?"

Minato Namikaze was somewhat surprised, then realized something: "Have they found traces of Isshiki Otsutsuki?"

Obito Uchiha said, "That's right. We've already fought him, and his strength is beyond our imagination. Nagato has already been captured by him."

"What?"

Minato Namikaze suddenly stood up, about to go directly to Shuichi Hoshino, but stopped and said, "Hayate, get Shuichi here immediately."

Just two days ago it was confirmed that Konan was pregnant, and now we've received news that Nagato has been arrested. This is probably not good.

A moment later, Hoshino Shuichi appeared in the Hokage's office. He was taken aback when he saw Uchiha Obito, as Gekko Hayate had not mentioned Uchiha Obito.

"Obito...it seems he's in trouble?"

Hoshino Shuichi already had some guesses.

Obito Uchiha nodded: "Nagato was captured by Isshiki Otsutsuki."

Xingxia Xiu raised an eyebrow.

They're really capable; they found Otsutsuki Isshiki so quickly.

Hoshino Shuichi wanted to scratch his head a little.

"Things are indeed a bit troublesome..."

Under the stars, Xiu Yi frowned.

Minato Namikaze's expression darkened: "Shuichi, is there no way to deal with Isshiki Otsutsuki?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "That guy is much more difficult to deal with than Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Obito Uchiha nodded: "That guy can shrink all matter, as well as various ninjutsu, and store them in a different dimension similar to my Kamui dimension, and then expand and release them."

"I'm afraid only ninjutsu like Shinra Tensei would work on him."

"Physical attacks are probably only effective with physical techniques."

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "That's not what I meant, but... Otsutsuki Isshiki has been searching for someone suitable to bear his power."

"Now that we've discovered him, we'll have to lower our standards."

Minato Namikaze's expression changed: "Shuichi, you mean, Nagato...?"

Hoshino Hideaki nodded: "Nagato has the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths, which means he also has the bloodline of the Otsutsuki. In addition, he was once the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, so his body has undergone a transformation, and he also has the Rinnegan."

"Although he is not the most suitable person, he is very suitable for Otsutsuki Isshiki at present."

"Especially since he should know that I am very strong."

"Of course, Otsutsuki Isshiki's strength surpasses that of Otsutsuki Kaguya, and Nagato should not be able to withstand his power either."

Minato Namikaze immediately understood: "In that case, gather your forces immediately and don't give Isshiki Otsutsuki any more time."

Xingxia Xiu said, "We don't need too many people."

"Just call Shisui."

"Ordinary ninjutsu, and even sage techniques, are not very effective against him."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then cautioned, "Be very careful."

"If we can't win, we'll give up for now and think of another way later."

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, teacher, I'm not alone anymore."

Yekura and Tenyun are about to give birth, Minami is pregnant again, and Asuka has been working very hard to conceive and will be due soon too.

……

The Forest of Death.

Uchiha Shisui, who was training with Uchiha Itachi, suddenly stopped.

Itachi Uchiha asked in confusion, "Brother Shisui?"

Uchiha Shisui said apologetically, "It seems I won't be able to take you with me for the time being. I have an important mission to attend to, so I'll have to wait until I get back."

Itachi Uchiha was startled.

An important mission, especially one requiring the involvement of a powerful figure like Uchiha Shisui, is truly astonishing.

However, being a mature thinker, he didn't rashly inquire about the mission details. Instead, he nodded and said, "Then Brother Shisui, go quickly. There are other people in Root who can teach me!"

Uchiha Shisui patted Uchiha Itachi's head, and then his figure disappeared.

Itachi Uchiha stood there, unable to contain his curiosity, thinking, "What kind of mission is this? It seems extremely urgent!"

……

In the Hokage's office, after Uchiha Shisui arrived, Uchiha Obito immediately used Kamui to bring himself and Hoshino Shuichi into the Kamui dimension.

Because Hoshino Shuichi could no longer sense Nagato, he couldn't teleport there directly.

However, Obito Uchiha had already marked that abandoned town, so when he came out of the Kamui dimension, he was directly in the abandoned town where the previous battle had taken place.

"Shuichi, can you go directly into that alternate dimension?"

Obito Uchiha said, "My Kamui can only be activated when he opens a different dimension."

Hoshita Shuichi sensed it briefly and nodded, saying, "No problem." (End of Chapter)
