"Since you're going to die anyway, there's no harm in telling you."
"My real name is Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and I do not belong to this world."
"Otsutsuki...Isshiki?"
Mifune clutched his chest, used his katana to support himself as he got to his feet, and looked at the man opposite him with suspicion and uncertainty.
He had never heard of these strange names.
But the other party said he didn't belong to this world, which was a bombshell message, enough to shatter one's worldview and perception.
Mifune finally understood why the enemy was so powerful, so powerful that even a strong person like himself was powerless to fight back.
It turns out that they didn't belong to the ninja world at all, but were powerful beings from another world.
At this moment, Cixuan continued talking to himself.
"I came here for only one main purpose: to revive the Ten-Tails, cultivate a new God Tree and plant the Chakra Fruit, and then eat it."
"That's why I founded 'Shell'."
(afbd) "It's okay if you don't understand, anyway, that's how it is."
As they were talking, Cixuan had already arrived in front of Mifune.
He looked down at the heavily injured Mifune, his hand clenching in the air, and in an instant, a black chakra rod appeared.
This deadly weapon had just eliminated Rikka, a key subordinate of Mifune.
At this moment, I will suffer the same fate.
Mifune was unwilling to be eliminated so easily.
He brandished his katana, assuming a fighting stance to continue the battle with the enemy.
However, Ci Xuan spoke up again at this moment: "Having heard my explanation, do you have any questions?"
"Of course!"
Mifune responded immediately.
He didn't want to be killed so quickly.
Moreover, there are indeed many questions that I want the other party to answer.
"First of all, Ten-Tails, are you referring to the tailed beasts in the ninja world? But I've never heard of Ten-Tails, I've only heard of the existence of the nine tailed beasts from One-Tails to Nine-Tails!"
"Also, what is the Divine Tree? What is the Chakra Fruit? I've never heard of these before!"
Mifune asked all his questions in one go.
It's not just about hoping to buy time.
If he had even the slightest chance of escaping, he would pass on this crucial information.
Regardless of what this man was going to do next, my intuition told me that Mifune was an enormous threat to the ninja world.
The only thing that can stop this outsider's ambitions now is probably the Hidden Leaf Village, which has just united the various countries of the ninja world, and that man named Uchiha Ryosuke.
Upon hearing Mifune's question, Jigen stared at him for a while.
Suddenly, he extended an invitation to Mifune: "The Shell Organization has just been established, and for the time being, I am the only member."
"If you are really interested in these things, you can join my team. With your strength, you meet the requirements to become a teammate."
Jigen's sudden change in attitude surprised Mifune.
His eyes darted around, and he asked, "You want me to do something for you?"
"Only this way can you survive, otherwise you will die."
Ci Xuan said coldly.
Mifune's heart stirred again. After pretending to hesitate for a moment, he immediately made a decision and nodded in agreement: "I can join your team, but you must tell me the whole truth!"
"By gathering the One-Tailed to Nine-Tailed beasts of the ninja world together and sealing them with the Gedo Mazo, we can then revive the tailed beast known as the Ten-Tailed Beast."
"In other words, the Ten-Tails is an amalgamation of the nine tailed beasts, from the One-Tails to the Nine-Tails. The Gedo Mazo is the root of the God Tree and also the shell of the Ten-Tails."
"After being resurrected, the Ten-Tails will rapidly grow into a divine tree after absorbing enough chakra, and condense a chakra fruit with infinite energy. By eating it, we can evolve. By continuously eating chakra fruits, we will gain more and more power and eventually evolve into an unparalleled and supreme god."
"That's my purpose."
Jigen's explanation left Mifune's face filled with utter shock.
He never knew, nor could he have imagined, that the nine tailed beasts could merge into an even more powerful being.
They had no idea that there were things like the Divine Tree and Chakra Fruits.
At this moment, everything Cixuan said not only shocked him, but also moved him.
Chakra is the source of all power.
Even as a samurai, he still uses chakra to fight.
Mifune knew very well what possessing a vast amount of chakra meant.
"To evolve into a supreme god...?"
"So, one last question."
"Is Ōtsutsuki your surname? Are you from the same clan?"
Mifune stared intently at Jigen.
Just when he thought the other party wouldn't answer the question, Ci Xuan spoke up.
"The Otsutsuki clan is a high-level alien race that transcends all things. The ninja world is just one of the planets that our clan manages. I used to be the guardian of this place, and my duty was to plant the God Tree and reap the chakra fruits."
"This concludes the Q&A session. So, what's your opinion?"
Cixuan looked at Mifune indifferently.
As the leader of the Land of Iron, Mifune has experienced all sorts of ups and downs over the years. He is a man of great knowledge and experience, and he would not completely lose himself at such a time.
Faced with Jigen's question, Mifune remained calm and countered, "So, if I join your team and help you achieve your wish, what will I get in return?"
The Chakra Fruit grants unimaginable power to those who eat it, allowing them to evolve into new members of the Otsutsuki clan.
This is something Cixuan himself clearly stated when he explained it earlier.
If that's the case, Mifune would certainly want a piece of the pie too.
The temptation to evolve step by step into a supreme god is simply too great.
Compared to the mere peace of the ninja world, this childish little goal is nothing at all.
But will this guy in front of me agree?
"As long as you are a member of Kara and help me achieve my goal, I will distribute the Chakra Fruit to each and every one of you."
"Currently, the organization only consists of you and me, so after we successfully revive the Ten-Tails and retrieve the Chakra Fruit, the power of the fruit will be shared equally between you and me."
Without the slightest hesitation, Cixuan immediately gave his answer.
Even if only one part of such a promise is true, it is enough to give people unparalleled allure.
Mifune was tempted.
His previous plan to escape from here and inform Konoha, requesting Uchiha Ryosuke to deal with this powerful enemy, had long been forgotten.
All he wants now is to be eternal.
"So what are you planning to do next? What are your plans?"
Mifune asked the question.
"So you've already agreed to join, right?"
"Next, we need to find a suitable 'tool'."
"Tool?"
Mifune was clearly confused.
"My body is too weak right now, I need to use a device to complete my reincarnation."
Ci Xuan didn't hide anything and continued to explain.
His words left Mifune speechless.
This body is too weak right now.
Look, is this what a human being would say?
Even in this so-called "weak" state, she was still unable to gain any advantage over this man.
They might even be instantly killed by their opponent.
If what Cixuan said is true, he is currently only in a very weak state and has not yet recovered his true strength.
So, what will this man become when he regains his true power?
Just thinking about this filled Mifune with deep dread, yet at the same time, an inexplicable burning desire arose within him.
If I could also obtain the power of the chakra fruit condensed from the Divine Tree, would I also be able to become a powerful being like Jigen?
Any price is worth paying, as long as it's possible.
"So, how can we find the right instrument?"
Mifune asked curiously.
At this moment, Cixuan walked over and grabbed his wrist.
To Mifune's astonishment, a dazzling stream of light emerged from Jigen's body, forming a data stream that rapidly penetrated his body, resembling a double helix structure of DNA.
However, Mifune did not sense anything unusual.
A moment later, Ci Xuan released his hand.
“I have infused you with my ‘wedge,’ which contains all my genetic information and my power.”
"After the 'wedge' is thawed, if your body meets the requirements of the 'vessel,' you will become the suitable 'vessel' for my reincarnation, and you will also receive all my power."
"If you cannot withstand my chakra, then you are an unsuitable 'vessel,' which will have no effect on you; you will still be you."
Ci Xuan spoke as if nothing had happened.
It was as if they were talking about something that had nothing to do with them.
However, Mifune felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words.
He finally understood that the so-called "vessel" was just a tool, or rather, a container that could house the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki behind Jigen.
The current Cixuan is also a similar vessel.
Although fulfilling the conditions of the device would grant access to the man's full power, if that time truly came, one would no longer be oneself.
My body will be taken away, my consciousness will be erased, and I will become Otsutsuki Isshiki.
This is quite different from Mifune's original plan.
He longed to be eternal, to become an unparalleled god.
However, he was unwilling to become a vessel for Otsutsuki Isshiki.
However, now that the die is cast and the wedge has been carved, and he can't beat this man, Mifune, despite his dissatisfaction, showed no sign of it.
"If I'm not suitable, wouldn't you have wasted your time?"
Mifune asked casually.
In reality, she had already begun planning how to get rid of this man.
Ci Xuan replied, "Therefore, we need to continue searching for more 'tools'."
"Let's start with this country."
As he spoke, he prepared to walk outside.
At this moment, Mifune said, "However, what are your plans to do about Uchiha Ryosuke and Konoha behind him?"
These words immediately made Ci Xuan stop in his tracks.
He turned his head in confusion and looked at Mifune: "Who is Uchiha Ryosuke?"
This surprised Mifune; the other party didn't even know who Uchiha Ryosuke was.
