After entering Aomi's household, Might Duy was regarded as family, receiving everything from daily necessities to abundant training resources. Normally, both Aomi and Shisui would call him Uncle Duy, never treating him as a servant.
Within Aomi's domain, Might Duy opened himself to the Taijutsu world he once couldn't access. His disadvantaged body and lack of resources were compensated for, and his cherished son enjoyed top-tier resources, even by Konoha's standards…
Everything was meticulously arranged.
Might Duy had long thought of sacrificing himself for Aomi...
Even today, with Aomi already out of the coffin, this dynamic youth beast would work relentlessly to gather intelligence for Aomi, never allowing Aomi to face enemies like Isshiki on the frontline!
He was Aomi's Nursing Home guardian, always needing to fulfill his duty once instead of a lifetime of sweeping, mopping, and washing clothes…
A barely noticeable, satisfied smile appeared on Might Duy's charcoal-like face.
He finally…
helped Aomi fend off an enemy that no one else could!
"Lord Aomi, since following you, my youth has become incredibly exciting…" Might Duy's remaining consciousness echoed in his heart: "So fortunate to have met you!"
Meanwhile, in the distance.
The shrunken Otsutsuki Isshiki reverted to his normal state, but only a half of his body remained...
"How… how is this possible…"
Isshiki angrily glared at the burnt-out Might Duy, hoarsely and weakly yelling: "How can a mere mortal possess such power, actually causing me… causing me…"
Isshiki wanted to say, actually causing him to die!
Indeed…
Though Isshiki wasn't dead yet, his method of shrinking to evade Night Guy hadn't completely succeeded.
Isshiki intended to confuse Might Duy, causing him to hesitate, slowing down the lethal attack and weakening its impact, so he could dodge or minimize the damage…
But Might Duy remained unwavering, kicking Night Guy with full strength into what seemed like empty space!
Thus…
Night Guy still solidly hit Isshiki.
Just not the head.
Yet the battle achievement was still remarkable…
The mysterious, domineering Otsutsuki who had mastered the entire situation, instantly killing several powerful beings, after a millennium of settling in the Ninja World, was soon sunk again after showing off his might.
Only the majority of a head remained, glaring with golden star-shaped eyes, muttering angrily, gasping heavily with sounds like "huff", "huff", looking almost breathless, seemingly with little time left.
Isshiki's body, in strict terms, wasn't his; it's merely a vessel carrying his information.
The real Isshiki, or every Otsutsuki, essentially depends on their so-called "Wedge"; they just need to find a suitable vessel to transform into their original form.
"I must… I must find a vessel, this body is thoroughly destroyed, I'm dying!!"
"I can't die, I must have revenge on Kaguya, become the strongest Otsutsuki, devour planet after planet, follow the path of the God Lord, and become the second God of Otsutsuki!"
Isshiki's eyes revealed a mad glow, with only half a head left, he struggle-crawled towards Uchiha Obito.
Modified by Black Zetsu with precious Kaguya Chakra, Uchiha Obito seemed like a suitable vessel to Isshiki!
Even the awakened Rinnegan Uchiha Madara was simply guiding out the Six Paths Sage's Chakra by combining Asura and Indra Chakra.
Compared to Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara's compatibility and nourishment for Isshiki ranked lower…
No matter how hard Isshiki tried, he could only crawl grotesquely like a maggot, unable to close even a step's distance to Uchiha Obito…
The desire to possess Obito was merely wishful thinking.
Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna exchanged a look, both showing an inexplicably complex expression.
This battle today was incredibly strange…
It began with Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Madara ambushing Senju Tobirama, marking the start of the first skirmish.
During this, the suddenly strengthened Uchiha Obito defected, with power even to spar with Uchiha Madara without faltering…
Suddenly.
Isshiki, with mysterious Dojutsu and powerful Taijutsu, shattered Uchiha Madara's Susanoo, instantaneously eliminating Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Obito, and Izuna with Yin Yang Release forged black rods…
Then appeared an unknown energetic monster, yelling his loyalty as a Nursing Home guardian, opening the Array of Eight Gates to kick Isshiki into half a head…
At this moment.
The entire battlefield fell into silence.
After Isshiki's death, the temporary alliance between Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna dissolved, reverting to mutual confrontation.
The situation was indeed very complex…
These unknown strong figures appeared one after another, seemingly all hiding their power, only at last revealing their final moves before Aomi's coffin.
What exactly was going on?
Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna exchanged a glance, both pondering.
In Uchiha Izuna's view, Senju Tobirama utilized Aomi to resurrect, but failing to control, sealed him again; coming to the Land of Water aimed at strengthening the seal once more…
