He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

The Death Forest is rich in life energy, and the wild animals living here are generally much larger than their counterparts outside. Normal-sized tigers are simply eaten as snacks here.

Many of the normal creatures in the ninja world are not much different from those in Isogen's previous life. Those large wild beasts, if properly tamed, can become powerful summoning beasts for ordinary ninjas.

This is thanks to the immense life force of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release. The life force that escapes instinctively attracts wild beasts to reside there. Some of the wild beasts in the Forest of Death were released by Konoha, while others were attracted there.

If you're lucky enough, you might even find an insect nest cultivated by the Aburame clan here.

Two girls walked through the dark and gloomy Forest of Death as if on a picnic, their expressions relaxed, heading straight for the central tower.

They didn't want to linger here any longer; rather than wasting time here, they felt more relaxed being with Ishizon.

Hyuga Mizuki had grown accustomed to it over the years and considered it a necessity of life. Uchiha Hikari, on the other hand, felt an instinctive affinity; if it weren't for Igarashi, she would have been wandering the ninja world alone even without seeking trouble with those clans after escaping.

As I watched the two girls' backs, Ishigaki subconsciously compared them.

Uchiha Hikaru is about half a head taller than Hyuga Mizuki, while Hyuga Mizuki appears more gentle and graceful from behind.

The combination of a capable and gentle temperament is timeless.

Both girls were relatively tall for their age, but Wuzhixian was able to look down on them.

Although girls develop faster than boys, and this is no exception in the ninja world, Isogen's height never increases simply with age.

If all those Yang attributes can't even increase a cricket's height by a little, then what's the point of all that effort?

Suddenly, Isogen's mind stirred slightly, and his observation ninjutsu, specifically designed for the Otsutsuki, detected a point of light rapidly approaching.

With a wave of his hand, a portal of light appeared before the two girls.

"Yu Ge?!"

The two were pleasantly surprised.

Fifty strings appeared, looked at them, and smiled.

"Did you have fun?"

Uchiha Hikaru nodded slightly: "It's alright. The ninjas nowadays are much more interesting than they were back then. They have more of a living, breathing presence."

The ninjas of her era were so full of the aura of the dead that only the young people who had just become ninjas could retain a trace of the living.

Isogen nodded slightly and smiled, "Interested in playing a game of marbles?"

About ten kilometers away from the three of them, Jigen's figure swiftly swept through the dense forest, avoiding the ninja's regular patrol points, and rapidly approached the target.

At this moment, his previous gentleness and warmth towards ordinary people vanished, replaced by the bone-chilling coldness of the Otsutsuki clan.

Suddenly, the nerve in his brain that signaled danger jolted, causing him to instinctively stop in his tracks.

"What's going on?" He frowned.

Is there something in this forest that I feel threatened by?

Those two beasts couldn't do it, and neither could the Kage of Konoha. Having lived in the ninja world for a thousand years, he knew best the level of the strongest beings that could be naturally nurtured on this land.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, and without any reaction, pure physical instinct compelled him to retreat rapidly.

The next second, the trees in front of them vanished, the boulders disappeared into thin air, and the forest in front of them seemed to be wiped away without a trace by some unseen force.

His life was threatened, and his body instinctively activated an emergency state. He saw it: two pitch-black spheres exhibiting bizarre, undulating movements.

"Seeking Daoyu?!"

His expression changed.

How could there be a Seeking the Dao Jade here!

The synthesis method for this thing is so complicated that even he doesn't know it. Moreover, as a noble Otsutsuki, he only needs to keep planting the Divine Tree and consuming Chakra Fruits to continuously grow stronger and awaken new abilities. The Truth-Seeking Balls, although they have some damage, are insignificant compared to those mysterious and powerful eye techniques.

The key point is that this technique, formed from the condensation of all chakra attributes, can harm him!

Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

At the same time, upon hearing the commotion, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, his expression grave.

"Everyone, proceed according to plan! Barrier team, sealing team, everyone be on your guard!"

Chapter 61 Even Tailed Beasts Feel Fear!

Buzz

A massive chakra barrier emerged from the sky like a spider web and slowly healed.

Upon seeing this, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's pupils constricted.

"trap?!"

Thinking back on the various unreasonable things he had encountered in Konoha recently, he finally realized that he had been tricked!

These damned commoners knew about me all along, and even set a trap for me!

He was so naive to think that others were receiving the same treatment as him, only to find out he was being made a fool of!

Igogakure: Is it possible that this is how unruly people in the ninja world are?

Coming to his senses, he quickly took action.

He activated his space-time ninjutsu, and a spatial portal opened behind him, into which he quickly retreated.

The two Seeking Truth Orbs barely grazed his forehead.

The atmosphere is thick with danger.

boom!!

Seeing that he had been exposed, Jigen stopped hiding himself and unleashed a torrent of chakra energy, which transformed into a massive, tangible impact that caused such a commotion that even the barrier in the sky seemed to tremble!

"Stabilize the barrier!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, his hands flying as he unleashed a series of profound sealing techniques, reinforcing the massive barrier.

Beside him and at every barrier node, all the Jonin from Konoha who were skilled in sealing techniques were present, and those who were not were temporarily reassigned to study intensively for a period of time in order to fill the gaps in times of crisis.

"Such powerful chakra! I can't believe this is actually human!" Nara Yokkaku was sweating profusely.

He, the Hokage's assistant, had participated in the entire operation. Normally, seeing such a grand display of force, taking down this unknown enemy would be no problem. However, upon witnessing the immense chakra emanating from this creature, comparable to or even surpassing that of any previous Tailed Beast, he wondered, "Who exactly is the Tailed Beast?"

These days, all the powerful figures who suddenly appear are such outrageous things. If you have such abilities, why didn't you stand out back in the Warring States period?

Don't tell me you only acquired this power in recent years!

"A barrier, a sealing technique, huh, they came prepared." Otsutsuki Isshiki watched this scene with a cold expression, secretly speculating in his heart.

The fact that they went to such great lengths to devise this plan means that there must be someone on the other side who knows about the Otsutsuki clan. Could it be one of the two clansmen who caused Kaguya Otsutsuki's downfall?

In his view, although the Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo were not born in the clan, they were still pure Otsutsuki bloodlines. After all, they were directly under Otsutsuki Kaguya, and their bloodline originated from her, without any other impurities.

If Kaguya Otsutsuki instilled more knowledge about the Otsutsuki clan in the two of them before she was sealed away, it wouldn't be difficult for them to know this.

“No, it shouldn’t be. If they came on their own after learning about my situation, it would be different.” He shook his head, dismissing his own guess.

Knowing the customs of his own people, he trusted them the least.

This view was further solidified after the two filial sons overthrew Kaguya Otsutsuki and hung her in the sky to illuminate the ninja world.

Look, even though they didn't grow up in the clan, the Otsutsuki are so ruthless. They're only a few decades old and they've already turned against their own mother. If they grow any older, won't they cause chaos?

If they catch me, will I be alright?

As his thoughts surged, he activated the Byakugan in his left eye, locking onto what lay ahead. He used space-time ninjutsu to evade potential attacks and continued advancing without pause.

Peng!

The Otsutsuki Forcefully broke through the ancient tree that stood in its way, and landed at the location where the blood of the two clans was most concentrated, his brows furrowing.

"What about people?"

Before him, there was no one of his kind whose bloodline had been awakened; there was only one handsome young man.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Hey young man, where is my kin who was just here and is now awakening?"

Although it is a hybrid, it is still an awakening of the Otsutsuki bloodline, and he doesn't mind giving it a name of the same clan in words.

Isogen tilted his head slightly, met Otsutsuki Isshiki's gaze, and suddenly, he smiled.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Otsutsuki Isshiki from the Otsutsuki clan, who was betrayed by the Goddess of the Rabbit and hid in a monk's ear for a thousand years and has not yet recovered?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the veins in Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes bulged: "Who are you!"

Before Wu Shixian could answer, he suddenly exerted force with both hands.

"The Great Heavenly Box!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen huge black cubes appeared in the sky, exuding an ominous aura, and then crashed down!

"They lack martial ethics."

With a single step forward, the space-time rippled, and the next second his figure appeared behind Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Space-time ninjutsu!

Isshiki Otsutsuki remained unfazed, and with a wave of his hand, chakra rods rained down like raindrops.

Bang bang bang!

The fifty strings moved back and forth between the chakra rods, their movements agile and nimble, as if they were weightless.

Yes, he really has no weight right now.

Wind Release: Light and Floating Technique.

By entrusting their own weight to the ubiquitous wind in nature, they achieve a light and graceful, ethereal effect.

It's a ninjutsu that Ishigami developed after he got up because he didn't want to move.

Both attacks were dodged. Otsutsuki Isshiki assumed a fighting stance and charged forward with fierce momentum, unleashing his fists and feet.

Seeing this, Isogen also got into a fighting stance, and the two immediately engaged in a fierce physical combat.

They went back and forth, neither giving an inch.

Otsutsuki Issho was highly skilled in taijutsu, and even when used by Jigen, it still possessed considerable power.

However, the fifty strings are not to be outdone.
