Always hoping to capture Otsutsuki to serve as sacrifices is not a long-term plan. Moreover, the Otsutsuki clan are not soft persimmons; there are ruthless characters like Shibai Otsutsuki who mastered 'Shinjutsu' among them. If such an Otsutsuki were truly attracted, the roles of hunter and prey might be reversed.
Hearing Shinji's request, Amado, who had some understanding of Shinji's purpose, fell into contemplation.
Starting from when Shinji inquired about the method to contact the Otsutsuki clan in the starry sky, he knew the Otsutsuki must have some unknown use for Shinji. Therefore, when Momoshiki, Urashiki, and Kinshiki, the three Otsutsuki, descended on the shinobi world this time, he was the least surprised.
But knowing is one thing; artificially manufacturing Otsutsuki, in his view, was still somewhat fantastical.
Of course, he wasn't aware that Shinji had already artificially manufactured an Otsutsuki, and that was Obito Uchiha.
Manufacturing Otsutsuki in the shinobi world is actually not as intuitively difficult as it seems. Because prestigious ninja clans like Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Hyuga possess Otsutsuki bloodlines themselves, only diluted after a millennium of reproduction.
So as long as one traces back the source and lets ninja from these prestigious clans collect genetic traits scattered among other prestigious clans bit by bit, biological atavism can be completed!
After some discussion, Shinji and Amado reached a consensus.
Currently, the prestigious clans in the shinobi world were either exterminated like the Uchiha and Uzumaki, or sparsely populated like the Senju. So gathering ninja from prestigious clans for experiments was neither efficient nor Shinji's usual style.
Thus, the two decided to experiment on prisoners. Using cell transplantation methods, cells from Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki containing Otsutsuki genes would be transplanted into prisoners one by one. Then the prisoners would undergo the ritual, using the power of the ritual to push the prisoners to the 'Six Paths Level', thereby qualifying them as sacrifices.
The advantage of doing this is that it can also promote the Research Institute's research on 'Shinjutsu'. Because from Orochimaru's example, it can be seen that as long as one successfully survives the ritual, there is a probability of obtaining 'Shinjutsu'.
In this way, the Research Institute can obtain research materials on 'Shinjutsu', and Shinji can obtain sacrifices.
After Shinji provided the idea, the specific execution was fully entrusted to Amado.
Time passed day by day.
The Research Institute remained brightly lit and extraordinarily busy.
As an institution gathering the best and most elite researchers in the entire shinobi world, the Research Institute did not fall into panic due to the Otsutsuki descent incident.
The capture of Momoshiki and Kinshiki also proved that the Research Institute, with Shinji as its backer, had the confidence to challenge the Otsutsuki.
However, the calm at the Research Institute did not mean the shinobi world was the same.
Urashiki Otsutsuki, fleeing all over the shinobi world, did not continue to attack the remaining three major ninja villages—Iwa, Suna, and Kiri—as everyone expected after successfully attacking Cloud and Leaf. Instead, he turned to attack those small ninja villages located in remote areas.
These small ninja villages naturally were no match for Urashiki. Many were easily annihilated by Urashiki alone before they could even send out a distress signal.
In the conference room of the Research Institute.
Kabuto reported: "The search team has just confirmed that the Star Ninja Village in the Land of Bears is almost completely annihilated, with very few survivors!"
Tsunade was furious: "Snow Ninja Village, Takumi Ninja Village, and counting Star Ninja Village, that bastard has already slaughtered three small ninja villages! If this goes on, the entire shinobi world will panic!"
Including 'Six Paths Level' combat personnel like Orochimaru, Eida, and Daemon, all participants frowned tightly.
The problem now was not being unable to beat the opponent, but being unable to catch the opponent.
The meeting ended in silence. There had been several similar meetings. No matter how clever the brain, facing Urashiki's almost roguish tactics, there was no good solution for a while.
Shinji actually tried several times on his side. For example, activating the Giant Tenseigan on the moon to attract Urashiki with its high-quality chakra as bait. Or stimulating Neji to liberate the power of 'Karma' to lure Urashiki to rescue with Momoshiki's chakra contained in 'Karma'.
However, without exception, all these attempts failed.
Urashiki seemed determined to play hide-and-seek with Shinji wholeheartedly.
And just as the entire shinobi world was searching for Urashiki everywhere, Urashiki quietly descended into a ruin in the Land of Fire.
Stepping into the ruins, Urashiki activated his Byakugan to look around, finally landing on a turtle-shell-shaped stone carving on the altar.
"Found it!"
The corner of Urashiki's mouth curled up, and he reached the altar in a few steps.
Caressing the turtle-shell-shaped stone carving on the altar, Urashiki took out the chakra harvested everywhere recently from the chakra fishing basket and poured it all into the stone carving.
Whoosh...
With the overflowing brilliance, the stone carving instantly came alive, turning into a turtle.
Undoubtedly, this turtle in front of Urashiki was the Otsutsuki clan's treasured tool 'Karasuki' (The Plow) left in the shinobi world. And its ability was very heaven-defying: it could reverse space-time, allowing the user to return to a certain moment in the past.
The purpose of Urashiki's tossing about was to activate 'Karasuki'.
Because although 'Karasuki' could reverse space-time, activating it once required consuming a huge amount of chakra. Urashiki naturally wouldn't consume his own chakra, so he targeted the ninja.
This was also why Shinji's traps didn't work, because Urashiki didn't need as massive an amount of chakra as the Giant Tenseigan, nor was he interested in risking rescuing Momoshiki and Kinshiki.
From beginning to end, his goal was only one, and that was to seize the 'Chakra Fruit' nurtured in the shinobi world. So after being repelled by Uchiha Hikari, all his actions were to harvest chakra to activate 'Karasuki', then use the power of 'Karasuki' to travel to the moment the 'Chakra Fruit' was just nurtured, and seize it from Isshiki's hands.
Correct!
Until now, Urashiki still thought that it was Isshiki who plotted against him, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki. And he concluded that Isshiki hadn't completed the reincarnation ritual and was still parasitizing a certain host, which was why he didn't personally deal with him. Also, because Isshiki hadn't completed the reincarnation, the 'Chakra Fruit' in Isshiki's hands must still be there now.
Based on this judgment, he activated 'Karasuki' with great expectation.
Whoosh...
As 'Karasuki' was activated, a golden sphere of light emitted from 'Karasuki' and continuously expanded. In just a blink of an eye, it enveloped Urashiki. Then with a shoo sound, the sphere of light disappeared, and disappearing with it were Urashiki and the Otsutsuki treasured tool 'Karasuki' on the altar...
