Isshiki Otsutsuki climbed up from the ground, unable to hide the astonishment on his face: "This is impossible! How is this possible?"
Although he knew very little about 'A', the 'A' who fought fiercely with him just now was definitely a powerhouse of 'Six Paths Level'.
This point was absolutely impossible to fake!
He had secretly seen 'B' several times. 'B' was indeed the top existence among the ninjas in the Ninja World, but absolutely couldn't reach the 'Six Paths Level', unless...
Karma!
Isshiki Otsutsuki suddenly froze, thinking of a possibility!
Holding Karin's hand, Shinji said softly: "Rest well, leave the rest to me!"
"Please be careful!"
After speaking, Karin fainted.
Shinji slowly got up and looked at Isshiki Otsutsuki in the distance.
It had to be said that Isshiki Otsutsuki's miserable condition at this time somewhat exceeded his expectations. Karin and Toneri completely overfulfilled the task.
Different from the situation in the original timeline, the current Isshiki Otsutsuki completed reincarnation and restored to peak condition, not the parasitic state of incomplete reincarnation in the original timeline. So Shinji had to try his best to overestimate Isshiki Otsutsuki's strength and means.
Therefore, Shinji formulated this tactic with the pupil technique 'Tamatsukuri no Hoko' awakened by Karin's 'Six Tomoe Rinnegan' as the core.
On one hand, having Toneri as an insider could ensure catching Isshiki Otsutsuki off guard. On the other hand, even if falling into a dangerous situation, Karin could use 'Tamatsukuri no Hoko' to reverse the situation.
So even if Karin and Toneri joining forces were not Isshiki Otsutsuki's opponents, this set of tactics could also test out Isshiki Otsutsuki's trump cards and consume Isshiki Otsutsuki's condition.
Sure enough, the effect of this tactic was very good!
Isshiki Otsutsuki was completely confused. First plotted against by Toneri, then fighting fiercely with Karin, he didn't discover Karin's real identity from beginning to end.
But this was also normal.
In the original timeline, Isshiki Otsutsuki failed to see through the Shadow Clone of Kawaki, whom he carefully cultivated as a 'vessel' and was incredibly familiar with, finally falling inexplicably at the hands of a Shadow Clone. How could he see through Karin's disguise?
One must know Karin activating 'Karma' was full of Shinji's chakra and aura.
Even people who knew Shinji and Karin very well might not be able to easily distinguish the two who deliberately disguised themselves, let alone Isshiki Otsutsuki who was completely unfamiliar with Shinji and Karin.
One must know this was the first face-to-face meeting between Shinji and Isshiki Otsutsuki!
Swish...
With a Body Flicker, Shinji appeared in front of Isshiki Otsutsuki.
"You..."
Just as Isshiki Otsutsuki was about to speak, a violent colicky pain came from his abdomen. Immediately, his whole body soared up.
Pfft...
While spitting blood, his peripheral vision noticed that Shinji's fist had already smashed fiercely on his abdomen!
Knocked flying again, Isshiki Otsutsuki's brain buzzed: "Gap so big?!"
Shinji strode towards Isshiki Otsutsuki who was knocked flying: "I seem to have overestimated you a bit too much!"
"Damn it!"
Isshiki Otsutsuki supported himself on the ground with his hands, stabilizing his figure. Then kicking the ground forcefully with his feet, while stepping out a depression on the ground, his whole person pounced towards Shinji rapidly.
Isshiki Otsutsuki launched a round of rapid attacks, but Shinji neither dodged nor evaded, standing still and neutralizing Isshiki Otsutsuki's offensive one by one. Finally, turning around with a kick, amidst a 'bang' muffled sound, he kicked him flying away.
With his whole body embedded in the mountain wall, Isshiki Otsutsuki trembled all over, his face full of disbelief: "How is this possible!"
Although he was seriously injured and in extremely poor condition at this moment, this didn't mean his strength had declined so obviously. Yet Shinji obviously suppressed him. This undoubtedly showed that even if he was in good condition, he would at most be on par with Shinji.
Such a fact, he couldn't accept!
Boom...
Instantly, the mountain wall behind him was shattered by his surging chakra.
Amidst splashing gravel and skyrocketing dust, he waved his hands fiercely, shooting countless chakra black rods towards Shinji's direction!
However, facing these incoming black rods, Shinji turned a blind eye, still walking unhurriedly!
Boom boom boom...
In the blink of an eye, those countless black rods shot by Isshiki Otsutsuki smashed on the ground or mountain walls in the distance, stirring up endless roars!
The ground all cracked, rocks collapsing in patches!
And Isshiki Otsutsuki, who caused all this, had an incredibly twisted and ferocious face: "Space-time dojutsu!? Damn it!"
Because those black rods he shot, without exception, all penetrated Shinji's body without causing any harm to Shinji.
Obviously, facing Isshiki Otsutsuki's angry blow, Shinji easily dodged using 'Kamui's 'intangibility'.
Arriving in front of Isshiki Otsutsuki, Shinji said lightly: "That Ten-Tails of yours has already been sealed by my people. Everything ends here!"
The enraged Isshiki Otsutsuki suddenly calmed down.
Shinji's words just now reminded him that he had completely fallen into a disadvantage currently. If he could reclaim the Ten-Tails at this time and seal the Ten-Tails into his body at all costs, using the Ten-Tails to replenish his consumed chakra, perhaps he could still turn the tables.
Otherwise, defeat was just a matter of time.
Thus, he immediately opened a space-time gate, wanting to return to the different dimension where his Ten-Tails was imprisoned and reclaim his little Ten-Tails.
Swish...
Instantly, a gloomy space-time gate appeared in front of Isshiki Otsutsuki.
Without the slightest hesitation, Isshiki Otsutsuki stepped in panic-stricken. Before leaving, he glared at Shinji fiercely, as if to carve Shinji into his brain.
Just then, Shinji raised his hand: "Goshingū!" (Shrine of the Gods)
With the activation of the dojutsu, Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had one foot stepped into the space-time gate, froze instantly. The movements of his body, the expression on his face, and even the thoughts in his brain were all frozen due to the stagnation of time flow.
Then, Shinji leaped. The moment he canceled 'Goshingū', pressing Isshiki Otsutsuki's head with his hand, he entered the space-time gate together with Isshiki Otsutsuki.
The next instant.
The two crossing the space-time gate appeared simultaneously in that different dimension where Isshiki Otsutsuki imprisoned the little Ten-Tails.
Shinji threw away Isshiki Otsutsuki in his hand, grinning: "Finally found this place!"
Isshiki Otsutsuki who recovered was stunned first, then reacted: "You didn't find this place?"
Shinji laughed: "Nonsense, you hid so deep. How could I find it in a short while?"
Obviously, Shinji didn't find that different dimension where Isshiki Otsutsuki secretly imprisoned the little Ten-Tails at all. Those words he said before were all deliberately deceiving Isshiki Otsutsuki to lure Isshiki Otsutsuki to bring him here!
