Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Pu Shi's eyes trembled: "Your subordinate...does not know!"

“I saw your soul, imprisoned in the depths of hell. They built a temple for you and bestowed upon you the title of Ōtsutsuki Mugen-ō…”

Vasala's gaze suddenly sharpened: "Then why are you kneeling here for no reason? Answer me!"

Urashiki Otsutsuki was struck dumb, as if by lightning!

Everyone cast sharp glances at him!

At this moment, a myriad of thoughts flashed through Urashiki's mind. He even thought of imitating what he had done to Gandharva many years ago, confessing that he had been persecuted by Uchiha Yu, enduring humiliation and pretending to be possessed by 'Kabuto', so that he could finally return to his rightful owner intact with a spy mission!

But... the fact that his soul was being exhibited in the underworld makes his explanation hard to believe!

Vasala would absolutely not care about the life or death of such a nobody as him!

Kabuto Yakushi's mind raced!

Put yourself in a desperate situation, and you will survive!

Pu Shi grabbed at the ground wildly, shouting in rage, "A conspiracy! A colossal conspiracy! This is a conspiracy by the Underworld! They're trying to divert your attention!!"

"Lord Vasala, if I were a spy from the Underworld, how could they make such a basic mistake as to expose me so openly before you!"

"Therefore, this must be a smokescreen carefully laid out by You Tan Po Luo!!!"

At this point, Urashiki looked up in righteous indignation: "Lord Basara, I beg you to kill me!!! Then find the real spy! Because the death of one Urashiki is insignificant! But please, please, do not let the real spy go unpunished!!!"

"Oh?" After listening to this impassioned speech, Vasala gave Pu Shi a deep look, then turned to the Gandharva and smiled gently: "Gandharva, Pu Shi is your servant, what do you think of him?"

The Gandharva chuckled harmlessly, “Hehe, Pu Shi said to kill him, so let’s kill him. Actually, I also have doubts about Pu Shi. How could such a minor character be so highly regarded by the big shots in the Underworld, who even went so far as to build a temple for him?”

Vasala nodded slightly: "So you mean it's okay to kill him too, right?"

The Gandharva said, "Hehe, killing is fine, but it's better to verify their identity before killing them."

Vasala: "Oh? How do you verify your identity? Tell me."

The Gandharva laughed, "Underworld, didn't they give Pu Shi the title of 'Rootless King'? Let's see if Pu Shi has any roots at all..."

"..." Vasala was stunned for a moment.

"Hahahaha..." The serious scene suddenly broke into laughter.

Vasala looked slightly helpless and said to the Gandharva, "You silly little thing, they went to great lengths to infiltrate here. Establishing a base isn't that difficult. You're still too naive. Don't let anyone fool you in the future..."

The Gandharva chuckled and said, "Hehe... With my older brothers and sisters and the clansmen looking after me, even if I'm deceived, I won't be left without a reason to seek justice."

Vasala looked at Pu Shi and said, "Pu Shi, based on the principle of 'presumption of guilt,' you should die immediately. However, considering that you have served a Gandharva, your life will be spared for a quarter of an hour. If we cannot find a spy today, we will use you as a scapegoat. Do you have any objections?"

Pu Shi said, "I have no objections. If the spies cannot be found, there's no need for you to take action. I, Pu Shi, will handle it myself!!!"

Vasala nodded: "Go to the side and stay there. Don't say a word!"

Urashiki, you're out.

Vasala stood with her hands behind her back, her mind wandering.

Three years ago, in the Temple of the Gods, we discussed the specifics of our campaign against the Underworld. Twenty-two gods were present. What I least wanted to see was a spy among these twenty-two...

However, if the Underworld is really using a nobody like Pu Shi as a smokescreen, it strongly suggests that they are likely trying to cover up the identity of a high-ranking official.

Basara's gaze swept across the faces of the gods in the heavens, one by one.

The gods of heaven, with their transcendent status and being consumers of the divine tree's fruit, naturally possess great charisma. They were able to remain unfazed even when faced with the gaze of the sage.

At this moment, the woman with a figure like a Tiger tank, the Otsutsuki Hanagata of the Heavenly Gods, said, "Lord Basara, Kaguya went out without permission and has not returned yet. Do you think there might be something fishy about this...?"

She didn't say it explicitly, but everyone understood what she meant.

Vasala shook her head: "She didn't attend the Heavenly Council back then, and she's always been independent and willful since she was little. She's not interested in anything except the Dragon Clan. If Huiyue is a spy, I can only admit that Youtan Bala's operations are too brilliant. You have to admit it. It's not her, it's not her..."

The aloof, masked woman with a sword, Ōtsutsuki Sento, one of the gods, said, "If it's not Kaguya, then we can basically conclude that she's one of us gods..."

The atmosphere in the Yutuo Blood Plains became incredibly grim!

Otsutsuki Basara clasped his hands behind his back. After a long while, he said coldly, "I urge the 'Divine Mandate Flag' to do everything in our power to root out this cancer that has infiltrated our ranks!"

Chapter 1071 Unpredictable Changes in the Weather, A Major Reveal

The ancient Kushaha clan of Takamagahara possessed the ability to forcibly possess another's body with their soul!

The Otsutsuki clan suffered greatly from this, and even after the great battle ended, there were still many Kushaka clan members mixed in with the clan, secretly causing trouble!

Thus, the 'divine command flag' came into being, which can detect whether the soul and body are in harmony!

Vasala still refused to believe that a member of his own family had betrayed him. He was more inclined to believe that a powerful member of the clan had been taken over by Kushaha Yutanbhara and had infiltrated the clan!

Therefore, he ordered his men to bring out the divine command flag!

The Divine Mandate Flag consists of a flagpole, a set of tokens, a banner, and an 'eye' at the top!

The flagpole's base is made of 'heavenly soil,' while the body of the flagpole is made of the tree trunk and plated with 'heavenly gold.' It has two poles, one vertical and one horizontal, with the vertical pole being longer than the horizontal one. The vertical pole, starting from the top of the base, is three 'measuring sticks' long [measuring stick is a unit of measurement in Takamagahara, with one measuring stick corresponding to 1.76 meters]. The horizontal pole crosses the vertical pole at its neck, and at each end of the horizontal pole hangs a pendant symbolizing yin and yang and the sun and moon!

The token, inlaid at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical bars, between the yin and yang talismans, is made of heavenly gold. Due to the infusion of divine blood and several restrictions, it has a jet-black color!

The banner, starting from the top eye, obscures the horizontal bar and the token. The banner moves without wind, its surface sometimes flowing gently, sometimes burning fiercely, with lightning-shaped red divine patterns appearing and disappearing uncertainly on it, resembling water and fire, and possessing the characteristics of thunder and lightning, making it unpredictable and erratic!

It is said that this is the divine garment of the primordial god, which was created only after being infused with divine blood!

At the top of the divine command flag is a closed 'eyeball'!

Those who know the intricacies of this eyeball are few and far between on Takamagahara.

Some say it's the 'Rinne Sharingan', some say it's the 'Rinne Tensei', and others say it's the 'Rinne Tensei Tenmoku', which is a combination of the two. There are many different opinions.

However, after the complete defeat of the Jiushaha clan, the Heavenly Mandate Banner was enshrined in the temple of the gods, which is nearly 10,000 years ago!

After the divine command flag was brought out, Vasala respectfully knelt down!

Behind him, all the gods, as well as the main family members and branch family members, prostrated themselves!

There is a law in Takamagahara that says, "To see a divine banner is to see the 'ancestral god'!"

Who would dare not prostrate themselves in worship?

Vasala rose, holding the divine command flag, and turned to face his people!

His gaze swept over the sixteen most exalted gods in front of him!

Those people were all his brothers, sisters, or nephews and nieces!

With unwavering resolve, he declared, "Starting with me, I will leave no one out, until the traitor is exposed!"

chap!

As soon as she finished speaking, Vasala bit her finger and flicked a drop of golden divine blood onto the banner!

Whoosh! The banner, after absorbing the divine blood, did not open the closed eye at its tip!

This is inevitable. If it were to open... even someone as powerful as Vasara would be instantly annihilated by the power of that 'eye'!

This is the terror of the 'Divine Mandate Flag'!

Two people in the room looked up in awe at the closed eye at the top of the divine command flag!

Otsutsuki Onikaku and Otsutsuki Kamikaku, known as the two matriarchs of the Otsutsuki clan, are true veterans even among the gods of heaven. They were 'witnesses' of the great battle in Takamagahara!

Therefore, they knew the secret of the eye on the divine command flag!

They murmured mysteriously, "The shikigami enshrined in that eye is the 'Divine Illumination'!"

chap!

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener; Urashiki Otsutsuki's eyes widened!

With Vasala setting an example, following the order of the gods—Radiant, Karmi, and Flower-shaped—the gods took turns sprinkling their divine blood onto the banner. Only after the last Gandharva had finished did Vasala breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that none of the eyes at the top had opened.

At least, this proves that spies are not among the gods!

At this moment, the Gandharva said harmlessly, "Do the other tribesmen still want to try? Hehe, with so many of us, even if we took turns spitting blood on them, we wouldn't finish by dawn. Besides, the ancestral gods who made this flag would also be troubled..."

Vasala said indulgently, "What the Gandharva said makes sense, but right now, the spies haven't been exposed yet, and we don't have a better way to investigate..."

At this moment, the aloof, masked woman, Ōtsutsuki Sento, stood up and said, "My lady, I've been wondering since just now whether our investigation has reached a dead end."

"Oh?" Vasala asked, "What are your thoughts on Qian Dou?"

Ōtsutsuki Sento said, "Why must you be so certain that the spy came from the 'Underworld'? Perhaps he came from the Ashihara Country, from the Uchiha Yu school!"

chap!

The Gandharva's gaze flashed with a sharp glint in it!

Urashiki Otsutsuki almost suffocated instantly!

Vasala's gaze was uncertain: "This... can't be, right?"

Qian Dou pointed out incisively, "You are a strong person, and you are used to thinking like a strong person. Therefore, you instinctively tend to overlook the actions of the weak. It is a well-known fact that Long Shi has betrayed the clan, but the reincarnation method he left behind, called 'Wedge,' is still widely circulated within the clan. There are even many clansmen who have successfully extended their lives using 'Wedge.' If Long Shi had ulterior motives and tampered with 'Wedge,' then these clansmen who have already been reincarnated using 'Wedge' must be on guard..."

Basara, his gaze low, recalled the actions of Uchiha Yu and his group during the battle in the Underworld.

"Indeed, we cannot ignore this possibility."

He looked at the main family seats: "All members of the clan who have been reincarnated using the wedge technique, please step forward!"

Fifty-six people in this household stood up!

"If this is Long Shi's doing, I have reason to believe that he even considered the 'Divine Mandate Flag'..."

Vasala released the divine command flag and said to those people, "Since you have successfully reincarnated, it means you have lived past the 3000-year limit, which is enough. Now, say what you have to say..."

That clearly means they need to give their last words: better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

Now, Otsutsuki Oreshiki, the first member of the Shiki generation, said: "Lord Basara, I am innocent! If I, Oreshiki, have done anything to betray my clan, I would rather be struck by lightning!"

Vasala said, “I think this is what most of you want to say, right? I know that most of you are innocent, so I promise that you will die without pain, and each of your bodies and bones will be forged into an indestructible ‘spear’ to kill one of the earth people who caused your death!”

"Then we have nothing more to say..."

All the family members, close your eyes!

With a flick of his wrist, Basara unleashed a series of highly refined streams of chakra that precisely struck the crowns of the heads of these fifty or sixty people, killing them instantly!

With a wave of his hand, Vasala ignited their bodies, turning them on the spot into 'Shared Killing Crimson Bones'!

As Vasala retracted her hand, the crimson bones flew in response, landing scattered around the divine command flag.
