At this moment, Kairen activated Tenseigan Chakra Mode, with a full twelve Truth-Seeking Orbs revolving around him.
Each one was like a condensed Tailed Beast Ball—ordinary in appearance, yet containing terrifying destructive power.
Kairen brought his hands together to form a seal.
"Rasa, twelve Truth-Seeking Orbs—can you block them?"
A pressure like towering mountains, surging like an enraged ocean—the overwhelming aura emanating from Kairen made many Sunagakure ninja tremble uncontrollably.
They seemed to recall once more the fear of being dominated by Kairen.
"I'm out! I still need to support my sister-in-law!"
"I'm out too—the widow next door can't live without me!"
Chiyo cursed angrily at the terrified ninja beside her.
"What are you afraid of?! He's only one man—are we really so many that we can't grind him to death?!"
"All of you, follow this old woman and chop off his head!"
Granny Chiyo went full berserker mode, ferocious from head to toe, charging forward controlling two puppets.
If even an old woman was fighting this hard, how could these young people possibly retreat?
"Kairen, you thieving bastard—give me back my brother's life!"
The Sunagakure ninja cursed loudly as they charged together, their desert-hardened stubbornness surging like a flood.
Kairen's twelve Truth-Seeking Orbs slowly floated into his palm, finally merging into one.
With a cold, indifferent gaze, he looked down below.
Too many lives had stained his hands already—far, far too many killings—but most of them had simply been courting death.
Just like this group right here.
"Sunagakure—dust to dust, earth to earth. If you can survive this attack, our grudges will be settled!"
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
The twelve Truth-Seeking Orbs detonated, forming a golden sword between heaven and earth, as if splitting the sky itself.
The golden blade of energy instantly drowned out all noise; Sunagakure vanished into green smoke within the light.
...
Watching the battle through Black Zetsu, Uchiha Madara remained silent for a long time before finally asking,
"Zetsu… if I become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, can I be this strong?"
Black Zetsu's soybean-sized eyes were utterly stunned, waves roaring in his heart like a raging sea.
Tenseigan, Rinnegan—just who exactly is this guy?
Not Hagoromo, not Hamura… could he be an Ōtsutsuki?!
The other party possessed every trait of the Ōtsutsuki—overwhelming power, power so absurd it defied logic.
"Wait… did I miss something? Mother's memories mentioned that Ōtsutsuki can use a 'Kama' to reincarnate."
"Kama" was a revival method used by the Ōtsutsuki after being sacrificed.
The principle was to implant all of one's data into a 'vessel's' body, waiting for the right moment to resurrect.
Like copying data—if one USB drive breaks, transferring the data to another makes a complete Ōtsutsuki again.
Ōtsutsuki always worked in pairs. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had come to the ninja world with a partner back then.
They weren't here to perform comedy—they were here to plant trees.
Kaguya, who was supposed to be the sacrifice, broke the rules, sneak-attacked her partner, and monopolized the God Tree's fruit.
"Could it be that Moku Kairen is that Ōtsutsuki's 'Kama'?" Black Zetsu speculated.
This hypothesis would explain how someone from the ninja world could possess Ōtsutsuki power.
But in the end, his imagination was wrong.
Kairen was not an Ōtsutsuki.
When all the smoke and dust had cleared,
Kikyo Pass had been shaved flat at the top, a canyon-like chasm splitting open ahead.
Bottomless, like a mysterious black hole devouring the soul.
Kairen dispelled his Tenseigan Chakra Mode, carrying an air reminiscent of Yan Shuangying.
"I told them not to point guns at my head. They just wouldn't listen."
"You demon!" a trembling voice cried out.
Kairen looked to the side, at Pakura kneeling on the ground.
As a chef, of course you remove the impurities and keep only the essence for yourself.
Kairen smiled at Pakura.
"I really am a demon. It's just a pity this world has no angels—no one can stop me from doing whatever I want."
"Drip! Drip!"
Tears fell like rain as Pakura knelt helplessly on the ground, gazing at the earth-scarred wound that looked like the planet itself.
"Why? Why do you always leave only me behind?"
Kairen walked beside Pakura, smacking his lips.
"Because you've got a big chest."
Pakura suddenly pulled out a kunai from her waist and stabbed fiercely toward Kairen's thigh.
But Kairen's skin seemed plated in gold—no matter how she stabbed, it wouldn't go in.
Kairen smiled faintly.
"I'm already a sage. How could a sage be killed by such simple blades?"
Pakura stopped struggling and collapsed weakly onto the ground.
Kairen looked at the pitiful woman and declared her future fate.
"From now on. For your sake, I won't pursue Sunagakure any further."
Pakura pointed at Kairen and cursed loudly.
"You're a demon! One day, you'll die a miserable death!"
Kairen's divine eyes gazed levelly into the distance.
"God or demon—it's all the same. All things in this world are merely my passing whims. All living beings can only be my playthings."
Not everyone rushed at Kairen in a blaze of hot blood to die. In the midst of disaster, many fled in the opposite direction.
These were people who had once helped surround Kairen—utterly terrified, they ran the instant they saw him.
Many others pretended to be dead in the mountains and forests; his Tenseigan saw them all clearly.
But Kairen did not continue the pursuit. Being able to escape with their lives was a gift from heaven.
"Hm?!"
With Tenseigan vision radiating over twenty kilometers, Kairen noticed a figure hidden beneath the soil.
At a glance, he recognized Rasa.
"This eyebrowless guy's pretty tough—still alive after eating one of my big moves."
Kairen's killing intent surged.
He had no intention of letting Rasa go.
Back then, Sunagakure had used him for human experiments, and the mastermind behind it all still hadn't paid the price!
Even if Gaara hadn't been born yet, Kairen still intended to kill him.
For no other reason than fulfilling an old promise—to kick Rasa's head like a ball.
Kairen lightly chopped Pakura's neck, knocking her unconscious, then split off a shadow clone.
"Take Pakura back. Have her wash up—I'm coming back tonight for dinner!"
"Got it, boss~"
Kairen jumped onto Wolon's bear back and kicked it.
"Iron-Eating Beast, chase!"
"Mm~눈_눈!"
