From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Clearly, during the exchange just now, not only Otsutsuki Yuki, who was observing from the sidelines, realized his inability to precisely control his power.

Even a combat genius like him realized this problem.

"Then, the second round!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang resounded, and Madara Uchiha transformed into a streak of crimson light, hurtling towards Isshiki Otsutsuki in the arena with lightning speed, tearing through the air and causing the earth to tremble slightly in his wake.

The chakra fluctuations it emitted were still incredibly powerful, but compared to before, they were much more restrained and solidified.

Meanwhile, Otsutsuki, who had been intently observing everything around her with her Byakugan, narrowed her left Byakugan the moment Uchiha Madara launched another attack.

She unleashed her time-slowing eye technique once more upon the mysterious Otsutsuki within her sight—Chihime-no-Mikoto!

Damn it!

Otsutsuki Isshiki, who was about to launch a direct counterattack, suddenly froze. As he recovered, a red figure flashing with intense crimson light appeared before him.

Madara Uchiha unleashed a powerful whip kick from above, which seemed to transform into a heavy axe, cleaving straight down at him.

Left with no other choice, Otsutsuki Isshiki had to switch from offense to defense and try to block the attack first.

With a deafening roar, the two extremely fierce forces collided instantly, creating a huge air wave, raising dust, and sending sand and stones flying everywhere!

After the attack, Madara Uchiha and Isshiki Otsutsuki exchanged a glance, and the two simultaneously and tacitly began to fight again, their lightning-fast afterimages constantly intertwining and colliding.

Outside the arena, Otsutsuki Mikoto kept her eyes wide open, watching the two fight closely, but she did not make any rash moves. The two were moving too fast for her.

Even with the keen insight of her three white eyes, she could only see two blurry afterimages.

Recklessly unleashing one's eye technique might inflict a heavy blow on Madara Uchiha, who is not an ally but is at least on the same side.

Even so, Otsutsuki Tsurugi kept his eyes wide open, not missing a single detail in the arena. The Ame-no-Murakumo sword in his hand gleamed slightly, ready to intervene at any moment and deliver a blow to the mysterious Otsutsuki.

My current strength makes it difficult for me to intervene in a battle of this magnitude.

Should we use that...?

Do not!

Let's wait and see. We must wait until this guy thinks he has the victory in his grasp before using it.

Otherwise, with my abilities exposed, I wouldn't have a second chance to deliver a fatal blow.

Battles between ninjas are not only a contest of strength and skill, but also a contest of information.

In the brief exchange, Otsutsuki Tsurugi had already revealed one of her Byakugan abilities—Chihime no Utsume.

However, this mysterious Otsutsuki also revealed his ability to absorb the Karma seal.

The Otsutsuki clan also possessed the Karma seal. Before absorbing this Otsutsuki secret technique, the Otsutsuki clan had also seen it in the Otsutsuki lineage.

However, before that, Otsutsuki Mikoto had focused more on the new eye technique she had gained with her Byakugan and had not yet learned how to absorb it with the Karma seal.

Therefore, the fatal blow I deliver to it cannot be a ninjutsu attack; it must be a purely physical attack!

Bang bang bang!

Inside the arena, Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was fighting Madara Uchiha, was also getting a little irritated.

While Otsutsuki was hesitating, he was also hesitating.

Should we liberate the "wedge"?

As he watched the previous Indra, Uchiha Madara, rapidly grow stronger in battle and become increasingly difficult to deal with, a thought flashed through Otsutsuki Isshiki's mind.

Yes!

Even now, Isshiki Otsutsuki has not used his true power.

He simply used this body, which he had adjusted many times, combined with his elite warrior's combat awareness and skills.

He firmly suppressed the man before him, whose strength had reached that of a full-fledged Otsutsuki warrior and whose pure power even surpassed that of the previous Indra.

But the reincarnation of Indra lived up to his name; even Indra himself was someone Indra feared during his lifetime.

In a very short period of time, it began to grow rapidly.

Let's wait and see.

After hesitating for a moment, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki gave up the idea, believing that the reason Kaguya's eldest son had not yet arrived was because...

That's because his gaze might not be on this spot at all.

Once he releases the "wedge," he unlocks the power from his own body.

Then the aura emanating from his own body, which is incompatible with the ninja world, will inevitably leak out, and might instantly attract the attention of Kaguya's eldest son.

"Hmph! Utterly shoddy!"

Facing Madara Uchiha's fierce punch again, Otsutsuki Isshiki advanced instead of retreating, and suddenly grabbed Madara's wrist.

Then, with a sudden jolt and a pull, in the instant that Madara Uchiha's body was unsteady, he raised his leg and delivered a triple kick.

Whether this previous Indra was stubborn or simply unwilling to accept defeat, it's unclear.

Even now, we still only use physical techniques to fight him.

He didn't even show any intention of using his own Rinnegan's eye techniques.

But Otsutsuki Isshiki didn't indulge him like that. In terms of taijutsu, his skill was outstanding even within the entire Otsutsuki clan.

Although the previous Indra grew rapidly in battle, it was mostly due to his application of that external chakra power.

His physical skills were still crude and incompetent in his eyes.

If the previous Indra had used his eye technique, it might have caused him a lot of trouble, but he could have fought him using only physical techniques.

They've brought this humiliation upon themselves!

Bang bang bang!

Otsutsuki Isshiki's first kick struck Uchiha Madara in the abdomen, causing him to completely lose his balance as he was already unsteady.

The second kick landed on Madara Uchiha's chin, sending him flying through the air.

The third kick, delivered at the same angle but with different force, slammed heavily into Madara Uchiha's spine in his lower back, shattering and twisting the bone as he was sent flying backward once more.

This time, you won't be so lucky.

Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes were cold and sharp, revealing a chilling killing intent. With a single hand raised, he revealed that he had ambushed countless black rods around Uchiha Madara this time, so that even turning his head to the side or rolling over a few times would be useless.

Multiple black rods will pierce through every part of his body!

But just as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was about to raise his hand, a streak of light, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, shot straight at his raised hand with lightning speed.

Ok?

Just as Otsutsuki Isshiki was about to activate the Karma seal to absorb the light, he instantly sensed something was wrong and changed his approach to grabbing it, catching the incoming beam of light and revealing its true form.

The Kusanagi Sword!

Did you know I can absorb chakra, so you turned it into a physical attack?

Otsutsuki Isshiki's expression remained unchanged as he prepared to release the Shona Bikona around the flying Uchiha Madara once more, restoring the black rod to its original size and instantly killing him.

But his body froze for a moment, and then the whole sky seemed to brighten as a golden light shot straight toward him, accompanied by a thunderous roar a hundred times louder.

It turned out that it was Otsutsuki Yuuki who made the move. Knowing that Otsutsuki Isshiki could absorb chakra, she directly delivered a flying kick this time.

His entire being, imbued with a vast and powerful yet unyielding force, seemed to transform into a sharp arrow tearing through the sky, striking straight at Isshiki Otsutsuki's head.

"You don't even have the power of a proper Otsutsuki warrior, yet you dare to get involved? You're truly overestimating yourself!"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki let out a cold laugh, gripping the Ame-no-Murakumo sword in his hand, ready to teach its master a lesson, but suddenly froze.

Because he suddenly touched nothing, the Kusanagi Sword, which should have been a physical object, inexplicably turned into a phantom and disappeared from his hand.

In that instant of hesitation, Otsutsuki Isshiki's flying kick was already in front of him. Caught off guard, Otsutsuki Isshiki had no choice but to raise his hand to defend.

With a loud bang, a burst of golden light followed.

Otsutsuki Naru was sent flying backward, vomiting blood.

They came as fast as they came and left just as fast.

One round!

In just one round, Otsutsuki Niji, who had not yet reached the Six Paths level, was struck by Otsutsuki Ichishi and coughed up blood.

But this was far from over. With a stomp of his foot, Otsutsuki Isshiki pursued forward with tremendous force.

With his eyes fixed on the flying Otsutsuki, he suddenly raised his hand, and four sharp black rods pierced through his body and limbs, causing blood to gush out.

Upon seeing this, Otsutsuki Isshiki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

My "vessel"!

My own "vessel"!

Finally! Finally!!!

With his heart pounding, Otsutsuki Isshiki's speed increased significantly again, and he appeared in front of Otsutsuki Yuki, who was flying backwards, almost instantly.

His eyes seemed to be filled with madness, longing, and covetousness as he reached out to grab the other's neck.

Um! ?

Empty! ?

When Ōtsutsuki Isshiki reached out with his left hand, it was like trying to grasp the moon's reflection in water; his hand was empty, and he grasped nothing and touched nothing.

The black rods that had been piercing through Otsutsuki's limbs seemed to have passed through some kind of illusion and fell straight down.

The blood that Otsutsuki Yuuki had coughed up after being struck hard, as well as the blood that had surged from her limbs after being pierced, vanished like dreamlike flowers in the wind.

how come?

I clearly didn't detect any spatial fluctuations?

The black rod should have already pierced her body.

Otsutsuki Isshiki, whose eyes were filled with fanaticism, was suddenly stunned, but at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

As the Ōtsutsuki was flying backward, the shadow beneath her suddenly twisted and transformed into another Ōtsutsuki wielding the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, which stabbed at the Ōtsutsuki Issho with lightning speed!

Danger!

This distance!
