Research Institute, underground shelter.

"What?!"

Amado was instantly shaken upon hearing the urgent communication from the communications team within the core node's underground base.

Ada and the Dimon siblings, who had just arrived at the command center, saw this and quickly asked, "What happened?"

They understood Amado very well, knowing him to be someone who didn't show his emotions easily; they had never seen him so surprised!

Scorpion, who was nearby, also cast a curious glance.

Amado first took a puff of his cigarette before saying, "The core node just sent a top-secret communication. The one guarding the Divine Tree isn't the Lord!"

The others exclaimed in unison, "How is that possible?"

Like 'Otsutsuki Shibai,' the people present couldn't believe that the one guarding the core node wasn't Shinji himself, because planting the Divine Tree and activating 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' couldn't be faked!

Amado said, "They've already confirmed it. The one disguised as the Lord and guarding the core node is 'B'!"

Ada frowned: "Could 'B' also be a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki? That's not right. Even if she sealed the small Ten-Tails that Otsutsuki Isshiki had, we've all seen that Ten-Tails. It clearly hadn't reached maturity, so how could the Divine Tree it transformed into be so towering?"

Amado said, "Perhaps the Lord used some method to make that Ten-Tails grow rapidly and enter the mature stage, deceiving all of us!"

Thinking of Shinji's previously secret 'Artificial Otsutsuki' plan, he felt it was increasingly possible.

Dimon questioned, "How could 'B' be a match for Otsutsuki Shibai?"

Scorpion said, "That's a fake!"

Dimon pouted: "Even if it's a fake, he's still someone who can overwhelm a 'Six Paths Level' individual. Besides, he's obtained the power of a Overlord; I can't even imagine how strong he is now!"

Ada pondered for a moment and said, "'B' has sealed a mature Ten-Tails, so she's likely already a 'Kekkei Moura.' Plus, with the chakra gained from 'Infinite Tsukuyomi,' it's normal for her to be able to contend with Otsutsuki Shibai!"

Scorpion said in a deep voice, "No wonder the identities of the personnel guarding the nodes are being strictly kept secret. So that's why!"

Now everyone finally understood why Shinji had strictly kept the identities of those guarding the nine nodes secret, because only in this way could he conceal the fact that 'B' was disguised as Shinji and guarding the key node. Otherwise, if all the guarding personnel were made public, everyone would easily realize something was wrong.

Amado said, "So this isn't an accident, but something the Lord intentionally did. We don't need to worry too much!"

Ada asked, "Then where is he now?"

Dimon and Scorpion also showed the same confusion on their faces.

Or rather, everyone who knew that the Shinji fighting 'Otsutsuki Shibai' at the core node was 'B' in disguise now had a common question in their hearts: Where is the real Shinji?

Core Node.

"Where is he?"

'Otsutsuki Shibai,' who had swapped states with Karin after being hit by Karin's 'Yatsuka Spear,' was also asking the same question at this moment.

However, compared to Ada, he was filled with panic.

If the person who had been fighting him all along was Akatsuki's 'B,' then it was very likely that Uchiha Shinji was hiding somewhere nearby, watching him.

The thought sent chills down his spine!

Because if even 'B' could contend with him, he couldn't even imagine what would happen when the real Uchiha Shinji made his move.

Furthermore, he had been hit by Karin's 'Yatsuka Spear' and swapped states with Karin. Although his strength was still maintained at the peak 'Kekkei Moura' level, he had lost a large portion of his chakra, and inexplicably gained many injuries.

For him, who possessed divine techniques, the sudden appearance of injuries wasn't terrifying, but this series of inexplicable changes ignited the unease in his heart, causing him to be enveloped by Shinji's terror once again!

On Karin's side, thanks to the 'Yatsuka Spear,' her state had returned to its peak.

Now it wasn't a question of whether he could deal with Karin; what he was truly worried about was Shinji hiding in the shadows. So, he gritted his teeth and turned to flee.

Karin chased after him: "You can't escape!"

'Otsutsuki Shibai' glanced back at Karin, his expression ferocious and terrifying.

Since the ninja world was already in this state, he naturally wasn't simply trying to escape. He wanted to absorb the divine techniques from Ada and Dimon, and then use his absolute strength to kill 'B,' lure out Shinji, and finally completely defeat Shinji!

The speed of a peak 'Kekkei Moura' was naturally beyond doubt, so in just a moment, 'Otsutsuki Shibai' flew hundreds of kilometers to the vicinity of the research institute.

Feeling the faint resonance of the divine techniques from Ada and Dimon, he began to get excited: "Almost there! Almost there! Once I absorb the divine techniques from Ada and Dimon, I will break through my limits, and I will no longer have to fear Uchiha Shinji!"

Soon, the main building of the research institute appeared in his sight, causing his eyes to become incredibly eager.

But just then, his divine technique 'Premonition' began to frantically warn him.

"Could it be..."

He instantly guessed that Uchiha Shinji was probably about to make his move personally, otherwise, ordinary enemies wouldn't give him such a great sense of crisis.

But the more it was like this, the more he had to absorb the divine techniques from Ada and Dimon, otherwise, he wouldn't have the confidence to defeat Shinji at all.

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!"

His eager gaze gradually turned frantic, and his flying speed increased again, transforming into a long rainbow in the sky, heading straight for the main building of the research institute.

Rumble...

In the next instant, 'Otsutsuki Shibai' landed on the main building of the research institute. Due to the excessive impact force, the sturdy building crumbled inch by inch under his feet.

"Uchiha Shinji, I'm not afraid of you!"

He roared, then looked down at his feet.

He had already sensed that Ada and Dimon were underground. Just one step away, and he could absorb the divine techniques from them.

Whoosh.

Whoosh.

Whoosh.

But just then, barriers of sealing walls rose around him, enveloping him.

"! ?"

He was stunned, a look of panic appearing on his face.

However, before he could figure out what was happening, accompanied by a series of sharp whistling sounds, dozens of slender bone rods shot into his body from all directions.
