On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

If the person behind Chakra Technology is the Otsutsuki clan, then bringing people along would actually be a burden.

Nagasawa arrived in the Frost Country very quickly.

The Land of Frost was originally an ordinary small country, but due to the emergence of the Chakra Technology Company, it reaped the benefits of the first wave of chakra technology and developed rapidly, giving it a somewhat modern feel.

However, this only applies to the city where Chakra Technology is located; other places haven't seen much change.

Nagasawa silently entered the interior of Chakra Technology Company, visiting both public and private areas, but found nothing of note.

Nagasawa wasn't surprised. After all, Chakra Technology Company was so famous that Obito would have reported it to him long ago if the company's location could be found.

Just as Yongze was about to leave the Chakra Technology Company building, he suddenly sensed a strange aura.

"Lord Sugiyama Minato." The employees of Chakra Technology Company greeted Sugiyama Minato as he walked by.

Sugiyama Minato nodded expressionlessly and left.

“Interesting, a similar aura to that strange old man from back then.” Yongze, hidden in the shadows, smiled.

Although several years have passed, Nagasawa can still recall that an old man with a strange aura once tried to attack Konoha.

The old man's strength was very strange, with a strong explosive ability, and in the end he even unleashed the power of a Shadow.

Nagasawa believed that the old man was from the same organization as the people who attacked the Kazekage, but he was unable to find out who that organization was.

Now, Nagasawa has actually sensed an aura similar to that of the old man at Chakra Technology Company. It is also a high-ranking executive of Chakra Technology Company, which Nagasawa finds very interesting.

Originally, the plan was to investigate aliens, but unexpectedly, they discovered a wallet that they had failed to investigate back then.

Nagasawa silently followed Sugiyama Minato, and they eventually arrived at a villa.

Then, under Nagasawa's perception, Sugiyama Minato sat down in the room, his chakra beginning to surge, as if he were using some kind of continuous ninjutsu.

Nagasawa immediately entered Sun Breathing Sage Mode, activating all his senses and enveloping the entire Land of Frost. Finally, he located Sugiyama Minato's chakra underground in the forest near the city.

"Lord Jigen, the Land of Frost and even the entire ninja world are at peace today, and Konoha has made no moves." The blue image of Sugiyama Minato respectfully reported the latest information to Isshiki.

Yishi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

This is now the only use Chakra Technology Company and the Kara organization have for him: intelligence gathering.

Although someone capable of bearing his wedge has been found, the thawing of the wedge is not something that can be accomplished in a few days.

Four years have passed, and even with a deliberate acceleration, only a little over half of it has been completed. It will take another year to fully thaw him and bring him back to life.

During this period, Isshiki's strength remained unchanged from when he was seriously injured.

Isshiki didn't want his plans to be interfered with by those lowly people in the ninja world, so intelligence was also essential.

Suddenly, Yi Shi sensed something and his brows furrowed.

Immediately afterwards, the base beneath the shell structure shook violently, and large amounts of dust and wood chips fell from the ceiling, as if an earthquake had occurred.

"As expected, you natives can't be relied on." Itsuki said coldly.

Sugiyama Minato had just been telling him that nothing was wrong, and in the blink of an eye, someone had come knocking on the door of the Kara organization's base.

“Lord Jigen, I…” Sugiyama Minato wanted to explain something, but didn’t know how to say it. He opened his mouth, but then closed it.

Boom boom boom!!!

With a loud bang and tremor, a huge skylight suddenly appeared in this underground base that originally required lights to illuminate it, and intense sunlight shone down. At the same time, a figure appeared in the underground room.

“Fujiwara Nagasawa! How could you…” Sugiyama Minato instantly recognized the strongest ninja in the world, and stared at Nagasawa in disbelief.

He didn't understand why Yongze had found this place, or why he had come here.

As Isshiki sensed the intense aura emanating from Nagasawa, his expression turned even more grim.

How could this be? This uncivilized native actually...

Chapter 589 The Cosmic Emperor Otsutsuki

Isshiki stared at Nagasawa in horror, because in his perception, Nagasawa, this native of the ninja world, actually possessed the same aura as him in his prime.

Yi Shi couldn't believe, nor did he want to believe, that such a powerful being could emerge from an indigenous planet that hadn't even entered the interstellar age.

But no matter what Isshiki thought, Nagasawa eventually appeared in front of Isshiki, looking down at him.

"Strange." Nagasawa looked at Isshiki, who had a cold expression, and felt that the person in front of him was very contradictory.

Although he has the same appearance as the ninjas, even when he looks at Nagasawa, his eyes still carry the contempt of a superior life form looking at a lower life form.

Then there's strength. His impression of Isshiki is that he's not as strong as Kinoshita Tsukasa, who went through a power surge before.

"Are you Isshiki Otsutsuki?" Nagasawa asked Isshiki, ignoring Sugiyama Minato beside him.

These aliens are all self-important and might not bother to hide it.

"It seems you mortals have quite a few tricks up your sleeve." Even with a flying dragon riding in his face, Ichishiki was still able to answer Nagasawa's question with composure and elegance, nodding his head.

He directly admitted his identity.

After all, in Isshiki's eyes, even if Nagasawa's aura was strong at the moment, it was still no match for his noble status as an Otsutsuki.

Sugiyama Minato, standing nearby, was extremely anxious and wanted to deal with Nagasawa, but he discovered that he was just a chakra projection and could not make any actual moves.

However, his residence is too far from the base, so if he were to go there, there probably wouldn't be anything for him to do.

“Fujiwara no Nagasawa, as a native of this planet, you are indeed outstanding and qualified to be a member of our Otsutsuki clan,” Isshiki said calmly.

"If you are willing to become my protector, I will grant you eternal life."

The Otsutsuki clan has the ability to transform outsiders into Otsutsuki members. However, those who become Otsutsuki members in this way can only become low-ranking Otsutsuki, like Kaguya, and can only become protectors, not the protected.

Since Isshiki was just about to kill Kaguya, replacing her with a protector with superior combat power would be a good choice.

"Are the Otsutsuki clan very powerful?" Nagasawa asked curiously, like a newbie seeking answers, hoping to get some information about the Otsutsuki clan for free.

"The nobility of the Otsutsuki is far beyond what a mortal like you can imagine." Isshiki raised his head, a look of pride on his face.

"Even in the starry sky where countless races coexist, the Otsutsuki are the noblest. The patriarch of the Otsutsuki clan is an invincible cosmic emperor!"

Nagasawa sighed inwardly. The worst had happened. If Isshiki hadn't gone too far with his boasting, then the Otsutsuki clan was not someone to be trifled with, even on a scale that spanned the entire universe.

If he were truly some kind of cosmic emperor, then he would probably need to be modeled after a Saiyan to withstand him.

"You're very lucky. My task of planting the divine tree hasn't been completed yet. Help me complete this planting, and you'll get a share of the credit," Yishi said casually, as if Yongze had encountered a stroke of good fortune.

“What you said is very good, but—I refuse!” Nagasawa gave an answer that Ishiki never expected.

"Do you know what you've refused? To become an incomparably noble Otsutsuki." Isshiki's face darkened, even more so than when Sugiyama Minato and the others failed their mission.

In Isshiki's mind, the Otsutsuki clan was incredibly sacred and noble. For a native like Nagasawa to be given the status of a lowly Otsutsuki, Nagasawa should have knelt down and wept with gratitude.

And Nagasawa actually dared to refuse! This is practically a slap in the face to the Otsutsuki! How dare you, a mere native, do such a thing?

"Because I've discovered that even you, this noble Otsutsuki, don't seem to be that strong." Nagasawa chuckled and extended a finger at Isshiki. The terrifying power directly pressed Isshiki's body into the ground, leaving only his head sticking out.

Yongze would never become an Otsutsuki; that would be utterly insane. He could develop Konoha indefinitely and even wipe out the entire Otsutsuki clan. Why would he become a dog for the Otsutsuki?

Sugiyama Minato, standing nearby, was so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information that he was unable to think straight and was completely bewildered.

The one-handed technique, which had been pressed into the ground, could no longer hold back. Unable to maintain the elegance of his superior Otsutsuki life form, he revealed an expression of impotent rage.

"You foolish mortal, do you know the price you'll pay for doing this?" Itsuki stared intently at Nagasawa.

With his current power, he could easily kill even Nagasawa in his normal state, let alone Nagasawa in Sage Mode.

"What will be the price?" Nagasawa asked nonchalantly.

"Don't force me to use my true strength, or you'll regret it," Yi Shi said with a gloomy face.

The newly implanted wedge has not yet thawed, so if he wants to be resurrected, he can only do so through Jigen. However, Jigen cannot withstand his full power, so resurrection would be tantamount to suicide.

Moreover, once he is fully resurrected in Jigen, the newly implanted wedge will disappear directly. This means that unless Isshiki can defeat Nagasawa before his body collapses and find a qualified person to implant the wedge again, he will really die.

That's why Isshiki wanted to recruit Nagasawa; he didn't want to fight Nagasawa, the cost would be too high.

"I have a flaw: the more others don't want me to do something, the more I want to do it." Nagasawa smiled and stretched out his finger again, releasing a chakra ray at Isshiki's head. Instantly, Isshiki's mind opened up, and his brain felt much better.

Ichishi felt both humiliated and immensely pained.

So Yi Shi stopped hesitating. Now, whether he used his power or not, he was doomed. So he decided to use it directly!

Even if it means death, I must first kill Nagasawa, that disrespectful native of the Otsutsuki clan.

A terrifying power erupted from Isshiki, causing the ground next to him to explode. Then Isshiki's appearance began to change rapidly, transforming into a large tsutsuki with long, curved horns and grayish-white skin.

"You lowly, despicable native have truly enraged me." At this moment, Yi Shi completely lost his usual composure and elegance, his eyes burning with anger.

Isshiki was prepared to use all his strength to kill Nagasawa, and then quickly implant the wedge again, which was his only chance of survival.

"Then let me see what kind of strength you, this so-called advanced life form, possess." Yongze continued to provoke Yishi with words, but inwardly he became wary.

At this moment, Ichishiki's aura was extremely powerful, no less than when he entered Sage Mode.

To Nagasawa's surprise, Isshiki's eyes were not both Rinnegan. Isshiki's right eye was a golden eye that Nagasawa had never seen before. Instead of the circle pattern of the Rinnegan, there were eight triangular patterns around the pupil. He wondered if it was a special Rinnegan of the Otsutsuki clan.

The left eye is surprisingly ordinary, looking no different from a normal white eye.

Unaware of Isshiki's Rinnegan abilities, Nagasawa first tentatively launched a massive Sage Art: Water Dragon Bullet, several hundred meters long.

Because the timing was good, Isshiki didn't have any intention of testing the waters and rushed forward directly, using the Rinnegan ability of his right eye, Shona Hikona.

Isshiki's Rinnegan ability is very simple and brutal: it can shrink any object, and for living beings, it can only shrink themselves.

Under Isshiki's power, the originally enormous water dragon instantly became as small as a finger, and was then easily dispersed by Isshiki.

Nagasawa narrowed his eyes, memorizing the ability of the technique: it could shrink ninjutsu and reduce its power, eliminating the need for physical contact.

In that case, using ninjutsu to bombard the enemy would definitely not work, so Nagasawa directly made a grasping motion in the air, and Ryujin Jakka appeared.

Immediately afterwards, Nagasawa unleashed Ryujin Jakka's Bankai, unleashing a terrifying spiritual pressure, and Ryujin Jakka's body also experienced terrifyingly high temperatures.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Nagasawa swiftly unleashed a large number of Flying Thunder God kunai at Isshiki.

Although Isshiki was unaware of the existence of the Flying Thunder God technique, he sensed the aura of space from the Flying Thunder God mark on his kunai. Therefore, Isshiki summoned a large number of black rods from Daikokuten to intercept the Flying Thunder God kunai.

Daikokuten is Isshiki's second ability of the Rinnegan. Daikokuten is a very special alternate dimension where time is frozen. Isshiki can store shrunken objects in Daikokuten for easy access.

With Issho's power, a large number of black rods not only blocked the kunai, but also hurled a large number of black rods at Nagasawa.

These black rods are creations of Yin-Yang Release, extremely hard, and if pierced into the body, they can interfere with chakra.
