"So it really is Senior Isshiki, what happened to you?"
After seeing the expression on Jigen's face, Otsutsuki Urashiki confirmed it was indeed Isshiki, so he directly strangled Victor unconscious; since he was a subordinate of a clansman, he did not kill him.
"I didn't expect Senior Isshiki to still be alive, we came here to help you hunt down Kaguya... Wait, just because Senior Isshiki is alive in this timeline doesn't mean he'll still be alive decades later."
Otsutsuki Urashiki remembered this was a different timeline, so he awkwardly spoke, but he didn't care about Otsutsuki Isshiki's feelings at all, and said it bluntly.
"Where is Senior Isshiki hiding now?"
"It's none of your business, Urashiki."
Jigen put down the wine glass and said coldly. He believed Urashiki came to kill Kaguya, but absolutely didn't believe Urashiki was there for his well-being.
The completion of the Divine Tree requires a pure Otsutsuki sacrifice to grow the fruit most suitable for the Otsutsuki; Isshiki is alone now, indicating he has already consumed a Divine Tree Fruit.
He is busily cultivating his vessel, impossible to approach Urashiki.
"Senior Isshiki is still so wary of us, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm just passing through this timeline. Once I collect all of Kaguya's Chakra, I'll return... Senior Isshiki, you don't mind, right?"
Otsutsuki Urashiki shouldered his Red Light Fishing Rod weapon and spoke politely to Jigen, but his tone always sounded provocative.
However, Jigen wasn't angry. On the contrary, he understood what kind of person Urashiki was. But after hearing 'this timeline' twice, Jigen reacted, a bit surprised, and said, "You... used Plow to get here?"
"That's right, but this thing charges too slowly, and there are two enemies who came along with me, but I've never found them... It's quite a headache and I was hoping to kill them by chance!"
"I didn't expect you to find Plow, in that case, suit yourself. If you can collect Chakra, I won't stop you... In fact, I might even offer you a bit of help."
After saying this, Jigen paused for a moment, then continued to speak to Otsutsuki Urashiki: "Information, do you need it?"
"Information? About the Divine Tree Chakra? Senior Isshiki, would you really be so kind?"
Otsutsuki Urashiki questioned suspiciously. In the Otsutsuki Race, there's no such thing as caring for clansmen, as everyone is striving to evolve into the God of Otsutsuki, devouring weaker clansmen is not uncommon.
"I'll have the information sent to Victor, whether you believe it or not is up to you; I currently do not need the Divine Tree's Chakra, Urashiki."
Saying this, Jigen ended the call.
Otsutsuki Urashiki sat alone in the room and suddenly couldn't comprehend what Isshiki meant; it was true Isshiki didn't need the Tailed Beasts at the moment, he was probably preparing to use Wedge Rebirth, cultivating a vessel was his most crucial task.
But after rebirth, Isshiki would certainly need the Divine Tree Chakra; the Otsutsuki can only evolve to a higher life form by consuming the Divine Tree Chakra.
"Quite strange, Senior Isshiki!"
Although Otsutsuki Urashiki felt suspicious, he still waited there for a day.
He initially wanted to track down Isshiki's residence through the person who delivered the information, but the person Isshiki sent was a puppet, who destroyed itself after handing over the information.
"Such a cautious guy..."
Otsutsuki Urashiki glanced at the still unconscious Victor; this guy couldn't possibly know Isshiki's whereabouts, so he left directly, found a place to go over the information Isshiki gave him.
"It's incredibly comprehensive..."
Nine Tailed Beasts, nine Jinchuriki, but Otsutsuki Urashiki remembered the native of the Ninja World with the Rinnegan he saw earlier, who seemed to have already collected quite a few Tailed Beasts.
That Divine Tree Shell was at least half-filled with Chakra.
There weren't many Tailed Beasts left outside, perhaps only three or four.
Additionally, Urashiki noticed from the information that two Tailed Beasts from the Hidden Rock Village had died on the battlefield and would take some time to resurrect.
"That guy moves fast, no, I definitely can't let that bastard take the strongest fox!"
Upon seeing this information, Otsutsuki Urashiki decided to go to Konoha Ninja Village; after acquiring the power of the Nine-Tailed, he could defeat that Ninja World native and snatch back the remaining Divine Tree Chakra.
"Hmm... so Konoha's strongest ninja is the First Generation Hokage, that guy is indeed quite troublesome, but fortunately, they're in the Land of Wind."
After seeing the information on the First Generation Hokage, Urashiki understood that the strongest in Konoha Ninja Village was that guy, followed by the Fourth and Fifth Generation Hokages... Though it was somewhat different from what he knew, it didn't really matter.
After going over the information, Otsutsuki Urashiki was about 70-80% persuaded, but what he trusted most was still his own ability, with Yomotsu Hirasaka, no one could detain him.
"First, let's go to Konoha and collect the fox!"

"Kushina, I'm back."
When Kushina opened the door and saw Minato smiling, she also smiled and said, "Come in quickly, Minato, did you complete the mission?"
"Yes, after delivering the information, the Second Hokage had me use Flying Thunder God for a few tasks, so that's why I'm late, sorry."
Namikaze Minato smiled as he entered, habitually taking off his shoes; but just as Kushina was about to squat down to put them away, the shoes that Minato left behind turned into paper scraps.
