Several days after Ōtsutsuki Yagara dispatched four God Realm experts and ten Six Paths level experts to capture Ōtsutsuki Zeroshiki and his son, Ōtsutsuki Feiyu successfully revived through the 'Karma'.
As soon as he revived, he immediately sought out Ōtsutsuki Yagara and reported on the previous events that occurred in the Ninja World.
"Clan Leader, how are Lord Patriarch and Meishiki? Did they defeat the enemy in the end?" Ōtsutsuki Feiyu asked urgently after finishing his report.
After listening to the report, Ōtsutsuki Yagara frowned. Faced with Feiyu's question, he did not know how to answer for a moment.
At this moment, the terrifying conjecture, 'Did Ōtsutsuki Zeroshiki win or not?' arose in his heart. However, he dismissed this conjecture as soon as it appeared.
Based on Feiyu's intelligence, it was insufficient to determine the outcome of the battle between the two God Realm experts. At most, it indicated that human had gained a temporary upper hand.
In his eyes, Zeroshiki, who had used the Burning Karma secret technique, could not possibly lose. Moreover, regardless of whether the one who defied him was Zeroshiki or not, it was absolutely impossible for the four God Realm experts sent to capture him now to fail.
"I understand this matter. Your intelligence is very important, and you have worked hard. Go back and rest well!" Ōtsutsuki Yagara waved his hand, tossing out a bottle of chakra pills, then signaled that Feiyu could leave.
"Thank you, Clan Leader!"
Ōtsutsuki Feiyu accepted the pills with great joy. Originally, he had wanted to ask about the Patriarch's situation, but seeing the Clan Leader's unpleasant expression, he could only leave dejectedly.
Not long after, Ōtsutsuki Yagara used a magic mirror to convey intelligence about two of Ryun's abilities to the four God Realm experts on the mission. The first was the special ability to resurrect the dead, and the second was the ability to inflict severe mental damage by making eye contact...
Ōtsutsuki Yagara could not rule out the possibility that the human was the real formidable enemy. Therefore, even though he believed the dispatched team could succeed, out of caution, he still gave the reminder.
"Two abilities that seem like genjutsu? Cannot make eye contact?" Ōtsutsuki Karashi frowned upon hearing the description.
"Our clan's Byakugan can easily see through genjutsu, right... If it's genjutsu, then we don't need to worry at all!" Ōtsutsuki Mitoshi said casually, crossing his arms.
"Don't be careless. The genjutsu of the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan is no ordinary genjutsu. He possesses the exact same eyes as Kamikyo. I don't need to elaborate on how Kamikyo's genjutsu is, do I?" Ōtsutsuki Karashi reminded sternly.
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Ōtsutsuki Mitoshi, showed grave expressions.
"Karashi is right. The Nine Tomoe Rinnegan possesses extreme ocular power. It is the ultimate state of the Rinnegan. If we truly encounter that human, we still must not be careless!" Ōtsutsuki Karura also spoke up to remind them at this moment.
For a time, everyone set aside their carelessness. They could look down on humans, but they absolutely could not look down on the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan!
"Karashi, you handle the acceleration... Time should not be wasted on the journey..." Ōtsutsuki Kagutsuchi spoke up proactively.
Ōtsutsuki Karashi possessed the Space Eye, and his own comprehension of space was extremely profound. The cosmic vessel, under his control, could explode with speed surpassing its limits!
"Are you in a hurry?" Before Ōtsutsuki Karashi could speak, Ōtsutsuki Mitoshi coldly asked first.
"Mitoshi..."
Ōtsutsuki Karashi called out to her. He shook his head slightly, signaling her not to say more, then proactively took over control of the vessel.
Unfortunately, Ōtsutsuki Kagutsuchi showed a teasing smile. The look he directed at Ōtsutsuki Mitoshi even carried a hint of lewdness.
"Is it not good to complete the mission sooner? My dear niece seems quite dissatisfied with me?"
"Withdraw your disgusting gaze, if you still want your eyes!" Ōtsutsuki Mitoshi coldly warned.
Ōtsutsuki Kagutsuchi showed not a shred of respect or awe for his own clansmen, yet before her Clan Leader grandfather, he was obedient as a dog. Such a person was looked down upon by Ōtsutsuki Mitoshi. Especially the bloodline he carried made members of the Ōtsutsuki clan naturally detest him.
The Ōtsutsuki clan were descendants of the Divine Tree people, born with a Wood Destiny. However, Ōtsutsuki Kagutsuchi possessed a Fire Destiny, inherently countering them. Any pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki would naturally dislike him, despite his formidable strength.
"Hehe... Dear niece's personality is truly fiery... Uncle likes it more and more..." Faced with Mitoshi's warning, Ōtsutsuki Kagutsuchi showed no restraint at all. Instead, his gaze towards her became even more brazen.
Veins bulged around Ōtsutsuki Mitoshi's eye sockets, her gaze sharp as a blade. Unfortunately, Ōtsutsuki Kagutsuchi showed no fear, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
"Bastard..."
Ōtsutsuki Mitoshi suddenly cursed in a low voice. As soon as this word was uttered, Ōtsutsuki Kagutsuchi's expression changed drastically. Flames seemed to dance in his eyes, and his aura instantly turned dangerous!
Ōtsutsuki Mitoshi referred to him as 'bastard' based on what she had heard from her Clan Leader grandfather.
According to legend, during the tenure of Ōtsutsuki Yagami as Clan Leader, the Clan Leader's wife once took supreme-grade chakra divine fruit to Takamagahara to offer it to the 'God'. While she was presenting the fruit, it happened that a fire god named Kagutsuchi was a guest in the 'God's' hall.
That fire god, seeing the Clan Leader's wife's beauty and her innate Wood Destiny, was deeply moved. Thus, he conceived evil intentions. Using a certain 'Divine Communion Ability', he forcibly violated the Clan Leader's wife, even causing her to become pregnant.
Ōtsutsuki Yagami was furious upon learning of this. However, in the end, under a warning from the 'God', he chose to let the matter rest and was even ordered not to dispose of the child in his wife's womb without permission...
This child possessed the bloodline of a fire god, born with terrifying flames. At the moment of birth, it burned through its mother's abdomen, causing the Clan Leader's wife to die!
Ōtsutsuki Yagami could not resist the god's oppression, nor could he avenge his deceased wife. He dared not kill this child, fearing the god's wrath. In the end, he only dared to secretly name this child 'Kagutsuchi', attempting to reclaim a shred of self-respect by insulting the god's name in this way...
Ōtsutsuki Yagami's idea was: You, fire god Kagutsuchi, slept with my wife and caused her death. Then I'll simply name this bastard Kagutsuchi. I'll make you forever be Yagami's son!
Rarely, Ōtsutsuki Yagami used his own method to resist the god's oppression. However, not long after, he was directly devoured by the 'God' for having no divine fruit to offer. Whether this involved karma is unknown...
This was the origin of Ōtsutsuki Kagutsuchi. The reason he could possess the second strongest strength in the entire clan was also inseparable from the divine blood and divine power flowing in his veins!
Therefore, Ōtsutsuki Kagutsuchi hated being called a bastard most of all!
"Mitoshi! Do not be disrespectful to your elder!"
Ōtsutsuki Karashi hastily spoke up to reprimand her. If he did not intervene, his own people would soon start fighting, and the mission would not be accomplished...
