Godzilla In Konoha

Chapter 521: Otsutsuki Karin is Now Online!

Yuuji calmly tore through the ice and snow space barrier, sensing Kaguya and Isshiki's chakra, and locked onto their location.

If one's sensory abilities were not up to par, and they were unable to grasp exact coordinates, recklessly traversing through alternate dimensions was suicidal. The worst-case scenario would be getting lost in the endless crevices of space.

"Um, so Sasuke was left here, huh? There's no need to bother him; he won't die anyway. The other two are in that direction."

Yuuji glanced briefly toward the Lava Space but quickly lost interest and headed toward the Sand Space.

Sasuke was still frantically scrambling in the Lava Space like a headless fly, relying solely on Rinnegan. He would never be able to escape and would forever be imprisoned in this harsh environment.

Unless he could further develop the power of the Rinnegan in a short time, there might be a chance to escape back to the shinobi world.

Sand Space.

The battle between Kaguya and Isshiki had been fierce, unleashing deadly moves incessantly.

At this stage, the two were well aware of each other's powers and capabilities, so probing was unnecessary. It was a fight to the death.

"You think you'll find time to resurrect and reclaim all your power? I won't give you that chance."

Kaguya rarely launched such a high-frequency onslaught, giving Isshiki no chance to breathe.

At this point, Isshiki, having a small portion of the Ten-Tails inside him, might not have as much chakra as Kaguya, but it certainly wasn't his weakest point.

The biggest issue for Isshiki was his current body.

Without achieving 100% unsealing and complete resurrection, he was still in the frail human body of Uzumaki Karin, not the orthodox Otsutsuki physique.

Simply put, it was too fragile and couldn't endure the extensive expenditure of power required.

Isshiki's strength lay in his terrifying physical prowess, a level that even those at the Six Paths level must be careful about. Karin's fragile mortal body alone is insufficient for him to display it fully.

Whoosh!

The entire Sand Space was wildly turbulent; endless sands converged into clusters of cannonballs, continuously bombarding the area, covering every inch of space, and blocking all of Isshiki's movements.

Such attacks wouldn't cause substantial damage to Isshiki, but as long as they could distract him and make him worry about Karin's body, Kaguya's purpose was achieved.

Isshiki was in decline, his tactics exhausted, even using dōjutsu several times, but he still couldn't severely injure Kaguya.

He could kick Kaguya a few times at most, but he couldn't kill her in one go.

"Mother, we can win soon." Black Zetsu was exhilarated.

Kaguya's power would surge further after killing Isshiki and letting the Ten-Tails inside him devour Isshiki again.

By then, Sasuke would be negligible and easily killed.

Even facing Yuuji, she could dominate; after killing Yuuji, she could return to the shinobi world to deal with the planet Godzilla.

A perfect strategy, worthy of Mother!!

Black Zetsu was highly excited.

Kaguya's mood also lightened considerably; her brows relaxed, and her demeanor was more composed.

She continued her onslaught of All-Killing Ash Bone and various dōjutsu, steadily weakening Isshiki, erasing his moving space bit by bit.

"We mustn't be careless; this man won't give up until the last moment. He's looking for a chance to kill me."

Kaguya observed her Byakugan, guarding against Isshiki, trying to shrink himself and rapidly approach her.

No matter how you looked at it, victory was in sight.

Separating several powerful enemies into different spaces was simply the perfect tactic.

"You should have died a thousand years ago; surviving till now is merely due to my negligence." Kaguya spoke, "Embrace your deserved end."

Kaguya prepared to use her most potent power to finish off her enemy in one go.

"If I seize the opportunity, use that..." Kaguya's eyes searched for the chance.

"His end isn't to die by your hand but by mine. Don't get that wrong."

A voice suddenly came through, not very high in pitch, yet it pierced through the howling sandstorm and the booming clash, accurately reaching the ears of the two Otsutsuki.

Yuuji had opened the door of space and traversed it.

"So, it's the Sand Space, huh? It's a fine place to serve as Isshiki's grave." Yuuji surveyed his surroundings and smiled.

Kaguya and Isshiki both retreated, distancing themselves, warily eyeing Yuuji.

"Quickly locating my position, this man's spatial dōjutsu is not simple." Kaguya's expression was grim.

"Mother, his other dōjutsu is called Amenominakanushi, which seems to create a separate space." Black Zetsu quickly informed.

Kaguya stared at Yuuji.

This was troublesome; Kaguya was unsure of defeating Yuuji one-on-one, and the risk was too significant.

It would be best to devour Isshiki's power, kill Sasuke, and then gather all her strength to take down Yuuji.

Now, however, Yuuji had come to them.

His target was Isshiki.

"It seems I arrived just in time; lucky me, you haven't fully resurrected yet." Yuuji's gaze passed over Kaguya and landed on Isshiki.

He was here for Isshiki.

Kaguya, for now, could wait.

"Just one more step away from resurrection, huh? Too bad, this is as far as you go." Yuuji stated.

"What makes you so confident? I'm very aware of your power; if I wanted to evade, you might not be able to kill me."

Isshiki spoke coldly, keeping his guard up.

This man was an enigma. Now, he had targeted him instead of teaming up to take down the strongest, Kaguya?

Isshiki didn't hesitate and immediately started the resurrection ritual.

Karin's body began to change; the horn on her head grew more extensive and twisted, her skin began to change, and her physique showed signs of expansion.

He needed to resurrect quickly!

Yuuji's lips curved into a smirk, "At this point, your body is no longer under your control."

Isshiki furrowed his brow, "You're targeting me, just like before, trying to interrupt my resurrection ritual? Impossible. I won't give you that chance."

Kaguya wasted no time and continued to launch attacks on Isshiki, using various dojutsu in succession, attempting to prevent Isshiki's resurrection.

Yuuji remained calm, standing in place, and slowly said, "I could have struck you earlier, but I thought that if I killed you prematurely, I would still need to give Karin time to control the power you left behind gradually. That wouldn't be ideal. I need a qualified combat tool."

Isshiki vaguely understood what was happening. After dodging Kaguya's attacks, his expression turned grim, "You tampered with my body? When did this happen? Was it during the incident in Kusagakure?"

Isshiki cherished Karin's body.

The first body was when he had a chance to escape from the hands of the Ten-Tails and Kaguya and temporarily parasitized into the body of the monk Jigen, which was a last resort.

The second body was when he had a strength advantage but was forcibly consumed by Yuuji. He had to abandon Jigen's body and parasitize an animal.

Karin was the third body he chose. For this reason, he also attacked the Kusagakure and took Karin away.

But then, he was ultimately killed by the combined efforts of Obito, Yuuji, and Nagato.

Was it during that time?

When he attacked Kusagakure and was about to leave with Karin, but was stopped?

"You are Xu. At that time, you indeed had the ability and motivation to target Karin, but why didn't I notice anything?"

For so many years, Isshiki had been carefully maintaining this body and repeatedly checking to confirm that it hadn't been tampered with—things like carrying Yuuji's cells simply didn't exist.

Isshiki wasn't blind; he wouldn't have missed something like this.

If it wasn't on the material level, then it must be... on the spiritual level?

"Genjutsu?" Isshiki furrowed his brow.

"That's right, it's a genjutsu. I have a subordinate named Uchiha Shisui who awakened a genjutsu called Kotoamatsukami, which can perfectly modify a person's thoughts. It's an extremely powerful genjutsu. Even if the target realizes they've been affected, they won't think their new thoughts are wrong; instead, they'll strictly adhere to them."

Yuuji said, "Since that time, Karin's thoughts have been modified by Kotoamatsukami. In reality, she has become my subordinate. For all these years, she has obeyed you just to deceive you."

"Hmph, so what? Now, this body is under my control!"

Isshiki shouted, in a few seconds, he would be resurrected!

But Yuuji wouldn't give him that chance. He suddenly acted, and Amenominakanushi descended.

Isshiki attempted to retreat, but Yuuji had already expanded the coverage of Amenominakanushi, covering the entire sand space forcefully!

Isshiki tried to open a space portal to break free from the confines of Amenominakanushi, but Yuuji's Chigaeshinookami prevented him.

Even Kaguya was trapped in Amenominakanushi, enduring immense pressure.

Yuuji continuously unleashed Kinrin Tensei Baku, a dojutsu powerful enough to slice through the moon, sending one golden beam after another, severing everything in its path.

Initially, Isshiki could easily evade.

But Yuuji's attacks intensified, with countless Kinrin Tensei Baku slashing through relentlessly. Looking around, the entire Amenominakanushi was filled with flashing and spreading golden beams.

This intensity, this frequency, was unprecedented.

Clearly, for Yuuji, this level of attack was also a burden.

Isshiki was forced into a corner, enduring several Kinrin Tensei Baku and sustaining injuries.

This was Yuuji's goal. He never intended to brutally kill Isshiki.

"Is that it? Did you think Karin would listen to you and interfere with my control over this body? Impossible! Her soul is about to dissipate and was about to be completely consumed by me!"

Isshiki spat blood, roaring.

In the endless flashing golden light, Yuuji appeared instantly near Isshiki, wearing a mysterious smile on his face.

At close range, he raised his hand and unleashed several Truth-Seeking Balls surrounding Isshiki.

Sukunahikona!

Isshiki tried to shrink himself.

But Yuuji immediately used the Chigaeshinookamie, disrupting Isshiki's dojutsu.

"Sukunahikona is just a spatial dojutsu and still under the suppression of my Chigaeshinookami!"

Yuuji stretched out his hand and struck Isshiki's chest with one blow.

Yuuji stretched out his hand, piercing Isshiki's chest with one strike.

"Damn..." Isshiki's eyes widened.

"Mother, he killed Isshiki!" Black Zetsu was angry and fearful, "Isshiki was Mother's prey, her food!! If Mother hadn't weakened Isshiki, how could he have succeeded so quickly!"

Kaguya coldly stated, "That's his purpose, using me to weaken Isshiki, then coming himself to strike fully."

"Although I don't know what he plans to do, we can't let him get Isshiki's power!" Black Zetsu panicked.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in Isshiki's power, including his eyes... Sukunahikona and Daikokuten, these two dōjutsu are of no interest to me." Yuuji spoke calmly.

Slowly pulling his hand out, he revealed the hole in Isshiki's chest.

He was also rapidly invading his cells, preventing Isshiki from repairing his body.

"This level of injury requires you to consume data to repair, but as long as you consume even 1% of your data, you'll never be able to resurrect," Yuuji explained.

"Hmph, you really know the information about our clan very well. Is this your purpose, to prevent me from being resurrected so that I can only use this fragile body forever?"

"No, I want you to die and let Karin live... You can hear me, right, Karin? Even if he suppresses your consciousness, you should still be able to perceive things in the outside world vaguely." Yuuji said.

Karin's consciousness began to awaken.

An Otsutsuki, who was not perfectly resurrected, has many flaws. Especially after being seriously injured, their ability to suppress the container will drop sharply.

Otsutsuki Momoshiki always overturned when suppressing Boruto's consciousness. He could only seize control of the body when Boruto was in crisis and mentally weakened.

Isshiki was not much stronger. What he possesses was a Karin, who was under Kotoamatsukami and has a strong obsession with Yuuki.

"Sir..." There was confusion in one of Karin's eyes.

"You know what to do. I've done so much for you. The last step is up to you. Take control of the body and use the data to repair it. Otherwise, you will die."

Yuuji ordered.

If Karin fails to fight for it, there is nothing he can do. Yuuji can only watch Karin die - there is no way he can let Isshiki survive.

Karin lowered her head, silently feeling the power in the Kama, and trying to mobilize the data in the Kama.

Normally speaking, if Isshiki disagreed, Karin could not use his own data, but the problem was that Isshiki himself was extremely weak.

"Although it is very risky, there is no problem in theory. Boruto can use Momoshiki's data, so Karin can also use Isshiki's data, but how to compete with Isshiki..."

It depends on Karin herself.

In other words, it depended on your own character and will, whether you were the kind of person who would not give up until you achieved your goal and who could go to the extent of going crazy and exploding at critical moments.

Obviously, Karin has a stubborn and crazy side.

The part of Karin's body belonging to Isshiki was receding rapidly. Isshiki's entire face was gradually fading away, while Karin's own features were slowly emerging.

Gradually, Karin filled the hole in her chest with bits and pieces of data.

When this kind of behavior occurs, it means that Isshiki has completely failed and will never be resurrected.

Just like Momoshiki could never be resurrected from Boruto and can only survive by relying on Boruto.
