Chapter 492: Shinobi World, I AM BACK!
Inside the unknown dimension with red sky and a desolate aura.
"My seal has isolated this dimension from the rest of the universe. You have nowhere to run."
The royal Otsutsuki member glares at the astral demon prince and the cloaked figure.
"I have been looking for you for centuries and now I will finally exact my vengeance."
Shiing
The golden byakugan of the Otsutsuki shines with brilliance. He extends his hands forward and summons multiple truth-seeking orbs and a platoon of powerful Otsutsuki Marionette puppets numbering in thousands.
Almost every puppet has an aura on par with the Abyssal Centurions, and around ten puppets stand out with an aura on par with Abyssal Lords.
"That's" The eyes of the Astral demon prince widen in shock as he recognizes the fleet of puppets.
"That's the Golden Monzaemon Kugutsu Order of Thousand Puppets!"
"What's so special about them?" The cloaked figure asks in confusion.
"You might not know about them, but these puppets are made by refining of the bodies of the most powerful warriors from several worlds. The members of the Otsutsuki clan destroyed several worlds and captured the powerful warriors of each world, destroyed their souls, and refined their bodies into puppets.
There are around a hundred thousand of these powerful puppets, and this puppet platoon is a part of that army. Also, this powerful puppet army formation is powerful enough to contest and suppress the power of a divine relic." The astral demon prince explains to him.
"That's quite powerful indeed!" The cloaked figure calmly nods his head, unperturbed by the panicked expression of the prince.
"I will destroy your spirit, imprison your soul, and refine your body in a puppet to join my collection to satiate my heart." The Otsutsuki clan member clenches his fists and shapes the truth-seeking orbs into a spear.
"I want them to die as painfully as possible." He swings the spear toward the duo.
Swish swish swish
The puppet army aligns itself into a formation. Each puppet wields a special red, glowing, malleable chakra weapon. The Otsutsuki makes these weapons from a special chakra ore found in the heart of a star. This special ore contains traces of Origin energy and thus is immune to ninjutsu.
The Otsutsuki uses a secret tool creation technique called the 'Benkei no Nanatsudgu' to shape this special chakra metal into powerful weapons.
The Otsutsuki clan member initiates the attack by infusing his chakra into the truth-seeking spear. The spear blazes with scarlet flames and leaves a crimson trail as it instantly arrives in front of the cloaked figure.
Swoosh
The cloaked figure grabs the tip of the spear right in front of his face
BOOM
An explosion of scarlet flames engulfs him, but the cloaked figure easily shrugs them off.
CRACK
He clenches his fists and the truth-seeking spear breaks apart into small fragments and disperses.
"Not impressed!"
"Attack!"
Jashin and Kishin also signal their army to attack the duo.
"Damnit! This prince never expected to fall in such a desolate place and much less at the hands of the traitors."
The astral demon prince glares at Jashin and Kishin's figures. He extends his hand and a bolt of purple lightning falls from the sky. The lightning dissipates to reveal a trident. He grabs the trident and prepares to battle the abyss army of Kishin and Jashin.
"I will let you handle the Otsutsuki mad dog. Leave these two traitorous bastards to me." He infuses his energy into the trident and prepares to use a Shinjutsu technique to unleash the might of the divine relic.
Suddenly, a shockwave pulsates through the entire dimension.
"What was that?"
The abyss army and the puppet army stop in their tracks as Jashin, Kishin, and the Otsutsuki clan members get distracted by the sudden burst of energy.
"This energy signature"
The expression of the Otsutsuki clan member changes.
"That's"
Even Kishin's and Jashin's eyes gleam with surprise. Slight joy appears on their face as they also sense the familiar energy signature.
"Wait, this energy signature! Could it be the thing that my sister was protecting?"
"Looks like it's about time!"
The cloaked figure mumbles to himself and pats the demon prince's shoulder.
"Leave everything to me!"
He turns towards the Otsutsuki clan member, whose eyes also happen to meet his.
"You weren't my match a thousand years ago. You aren't a match for me, much less now."
The cloaked figure slowly removes the cloak around his body.
"Three years have passed since she last saw me. But for me, almost a thousand years have passed since that day."
He removes the cowl of his cloak to reveal a fair-skinned man with spiky, black hair with a blue tint to them. His bangs part down from the center of his face to frame both sides. The rest of his hair is hanging loose behind his back. A crescent moon earring with a star in the center hangs on his left earlobe.
Shiing
Izuna opens his eyes to reveal a Rinne-Sharingan in his left eye and a Reigan in his right eye.
"Impossible!"
Kishin, Jashin, and the Royal Otsutsuki's eyes widen to the core in shock.
Crack crack
Izuna cracks his neck and removes the Astral demon robe around his body. He tosses it toward a flabbergasted Astral Demon Prince.
"Your clan needs a better tailor!"
""
The astral demon prince silently stares at Izuna's face as the latter switches his outfit to a high-collared black shirt with the Uchiha clan crest.
Izuna takes a deep breath and stretches his muscles and clears his throat.
"Man! It was so tough to act like someone else for a thousand years."
Izuna ignores everyone's piercing gaze and turns towards the astral demon prince.
"Looks like the restriction 'she' placed is lifted according to my arrangement. Now, it's just a matter of time. For now, let's return home."
"Ah! Yes yes!" The astral demon prince regains his composure.
"So, it's finally time!"
"Seems like our thousand years of preparations are complete, Seiry! Now, there is no need for me to hide myself." Izuna nods at the astral demon prince.
"Who are you?" The Royal Otsutsuki glares at Izuna with cold eyes.
"Where is Gra, one of the Daiykai?"
"Gra is dead. I killed him!" Izuna replies in a calm tone.
"Impossible! A weak being like you" The Royal Otsutsuki pauses as he stares into Izuna's eyes.
"How how come you possess the royal bloodline of an Otsutsuki and an astral demon at the same time when you are none of them?"
Instead of replying to him, Izuna asks him a question.
"Hey, earlier you said that this dimension is sealed by a very powerful sealing formation, right? No one can see what's going inside and similarly, no one from inside can relay any information outside, right?"
"That's true! No one can break the seal of Shirtra, one of the sacred sealing relics of the Otsutsuki clan." The Otsutsuki clan member replies in pride.
"Enough of your questions. Now tell me who you are and I will impart a quick death to you."
"I see! That's reassuring to hear." Izuna nods at his words.
Even Kishin and Jashin warily stare at Izuna as Kishin senses a familiar presence from Izuna.
"Why do I feel like I have met him before?" Kishin stares at Izuna's face with skeptical eyes.
Izuna closes his eyes and raises his left hand towards the sky of the hellish dimension.
"Order and Chaos authority: Klacakra"
Rumble rumble
The ground quakes, and the sky trembles as Izuna slowly opens his eyes. There is a sigil of a Dharma wheel with eight spokes in his right eye and another sigil of a chaos wheel with eight arrows in all directions in his left eye.
RUMBLE. RUMBLE
A gigantic sigil of the Dharma wheel shrouds the entire dimension. Another layer of Chaos wheel stacks on top of the Dharma wheel.
"So, that's your plan?" Seirysighs and shakes his head.
"It will be faster that way and no one else will know what happened here, thanks to that dumbass!" Izuna mocks the Otsutsuki clan member with a smile.
"That's that's an origin" The Royal Otsutsuki trembles at the sight of the Dharma wheel.
"Correct! But no points for the right answer." Izuna smiles at him and waves his hand.
Bzzt crackle
Black and white lightning flicker between the two wheels. The gates of order and chaos open as a rift to reveal the spokes of a giant, wheel-like weapon. Numerous irreparable spatial cracks appear in the surroundings just from the presence of the giant wheel weapon alone.
BOOM
A blinding light engulfs the entire dimension and wipes the very phenomenon of cause and effect to rewrite the very laws of existence itself.
After a few seconds, the light dies down to reveal the souls of various beings. The torn souls of the Otsutsuki Marionette bow in Izuna's direction to express their gratitude for freeing them from their suffering. Izuna nods at them and the various soul fragments disperse.
The kaleidoscopic pattern in Izuna's Reigan (Soul Eye) spins as Izuna opens his palm to reveal three souls. Two of these souls are pitch black, an effect of being tainted by the Abyss. While the third soul is blue and has a unique sigil in the shape of an eye engraved on it.
"The Otsutsuki clan will make you pay for this." The Royal Otsutsuki threatens him but Izuna ignores his measly threat.
"Now that's troublesome!" Izuna recognizes the unique energy from the soul of the Royal Otsutsuki.
"It's still a little early to directly clash with him."
SHOOM
Izuna's Reigan flickers slightly, and a small black hole appears in his palm. The black hole absorbs Otsutsuki's soul and disappears.
"As for these two, they are yours!" Izuna tosses the shivering soul of Kishin and Jashin to Seiry.
"This technique consumes a hell lot of my energy. Still, it was the fastest method to settle things." Izuna rests against Seiry'sshoulder as he recovers his energy.
"Alright! Alright! I will take you to your home world." Seiry shakes his head.
Whoosh
A dimensional fissure appears in the skies of the shinobi world. Seiry and Izuna walk out of the fissure.
HAAH
Izuna takes a deep breath and shouts at the top of his lungs.
"Shinobi World, I AM BACK!"
