<div> Honestly, Orochimaru somehow felt even more unhinged.
 From start to finish, Orochimaru had treated Ōtsutsuki Isshiki as nothing but lab material. No matter how strong Isshiki was, in Orochimaru's mind it was only natural that Natsuki would beat him down and deliver him to the operating table.
 It was just a question of how much effort Natsuki felt like using.
 If Natsuki wanted, he could probably end this faster and not let Isshiki spill even a single extra drop of blood.
 But the Alliance quickly accepted it.
 Fine. Orochimaru had always been a mad scientist. Grave-robbing and tomb-digging used to be routine for him, and he'd gone around tricking talented kids into following him too. [So this version of him was honestly… not that hard to accept.]
 As long as he did proper research, dug out every last bit of Ōtsutsuki power, and helped everyone get stronger, that was pretty nice.
 As for his personality, there was no need to meddle.
 Natsuki acted like he hadn't even heard Orochimaru. He snapped out two more kicks, sending the remaining two cubes flying. With a ripping boom, the cubes tore through the air and reached Isshiki in an instant.
 Isshiki had been terrified before, but now he reacted. It was like he finally remembered his [?] power.
 He decisively used his black eye and activated Sukunahikona, shrinking the two incoming cubes and avoiding the attack. [Only then did he let out a hard breath of relief.]
 When he looked back at Natsuki, there was fear in his eyes, but also a thick, burning killing intent.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">

 </div>
 </div> This man was the greatest enemy.
 Even those four with Six Paths-level strength hadn't forced him, an Ōtsutsuki, into this kind of dread. He had to eliminate this guy.
 But right now, he probably couldn't win.
 And his lifespan wasn't long either. [He had to find a new vessel as soon as possible!]
 He couldn't keep wasting time here.
 Isshiki gritted his teeth and spat out a threat. "Natsuki, right? I, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, will remember you! Just you wait. One day, you'll pay back today's humiliation!"
 "Oh? You're trying to run?"
 Natsuki understood instantly and naturally had no intention of letting him escape.
 He opened Hachimon Tonkō (Eight Gates), and went straight to the Sixth Gate. In an instant, his long red hair whipped wildly in the violent chakra airflow. The aura he released was so overwhelming that [even the spectators far away couldn't help trembling].
 Isshiki was shocked by Natsuki's change.
 He was already this strong, and he could still get stronger? This guy was terrifying.
 He had to run, now.
 Isshiki immediately released all of his Daikyōten cubes. The giant blocks fell like a torrential storm, trying to obstruct Natsuki's approach.
 At the same time, Isshiki opened a space portal, [planning to leave at once].
 But how could Natsuki let him have his way?
 "Ryūken Bakuhatsu (Dragon Fist Burst)!"
 Natsuki threw a decisive punch. The terrifying straight punch compressed the air into a dragon-shaped cannon blast. A dragon roar erupted, and the air-dragon surged forward.
 The cube downpour abruptly stopped.
 A number of cubes were swept by the dragon and [actually exploded on the spot]!
 And the air-dragon reached Isshiki in an instant. Under Isshiki's horrified stare, space itself twisted. The portal was torn apart, leaving him no way to flee!
 With a roar, an air-dragon pierced straight through Isshiki's chest, then coiled tightly around him, locking him down so he couldn't move at all.
 At the same time, the Dragon Fist's force swept across the entire dimension, cracking the ground apart. If Natsuki hadn't held back, he might have blown the entire space to pieces.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Everyone watching could only stare in stunned shock.
 Isshiki, that terrifyingly powerful Ōtsutsuki, was subdued in a single move. [It was absurdly strong.]
 Hashirama, Tobirama, and Minato, along with Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji, were seeing this move again and still couldn't stop marveling.
 Back then, it had been this same Dragon Fist Burst that completely crushed Kaguya. Now Isshiki was about to follow in Kaguya's footsteps… no, maybe it would be worse.
 Because he was going to become Orochimaru's experimental material.
 And since his time was short, he probably wouldn't last long anyway.
 Isshiki truly was in despair now. He'd underestimated his enemies. He couldn't believe someone could even tear apart a space portal, [leaving him unable to run at all].
 If he got another chance, he would run immediately!
 No, he'd never come here in the first place, and he definitely wouldn't have partnered with Kaguya!
 But regret was useless now.
 "No! I won't accept ending like this! I have to live! Right, this Natsuki's body is insanely strong. He's the perfect vessel. I have to find a way to place my Kāma on him!"
 Isshiki lowered his gaze, not letting Natsuki see the sharp gleam in his eyes.
 He only had one chance. He had to succeed, or this was absolute death.
 So he began secretly charging power, copying all of his power and converting it into data, waiting for the moment Natsuki came close so he could imprint it onto him.
 But Natsuki had already noticed Isshiki's little movements and knew he still had something up his sleeve. So he pretended not to know and started walking closer.
 When the distance was less than a meter, Natsuki suddenly seemed distracted by something. [He turned around and looked off in another direction.]
 Isshiki seized the moment. The only finger he could still move jabbed toward Natsuki's body, and the Kāma mark fired out instantly.
 But Natsuki had deliberately exposed that opening. He wasn't going to let Isshiki succeed. The next second, he vanished with a whoosh, reappearing in the distance beside a black cube.
 … … …
 Clearly, he'd left a Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) formula on the cube earlier.
 Ah! The cube was sent over by Flying Thunder God, and [the Kāma mark struck the black cube instead].
 Isshiki fell into total despair, because Kāma could only be placed on a living person to successfully parasitize and allow a future reincarnation. Striking a dead object did absolutely nothing.
 Sure enough, in the next moment, the black Kāma mark vanished on the spot.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Natsuki flashed back. His movements were lightning-fast as he instantly plucked out Isshiki's black eye and Byakugan.
 Isshiki's vision went black. The next second he let out a soul-tearing scream.
 It wasn't because losing the eyes hurt that much, but because the pain in his heart was even worse. Most of his power came from those eyes. [Without them, how was he any different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?]
 "Beautifully done, Natsuki-kun!"
 Orochimaru had already arrived, pulling out two nutrient canisters and sealing the black eye and the Byakugan inside.
 Staring at the pinwheel-patterned black eye, Orochimaru couldn't help licking his lips, clearly thrilled. He was obviously very interested in Sukunahikona and Daikokuten.
 As for the Byakugan, it was… better than nothing. He'd research it later and see how this one differed from other Byakugan.
 Natsuki reminded him, "Orochimaru, be careful. I didn't fully understand that sneak attack he tried just now, but it probably isn't related to the eyes, so he can likely still use it. Don't let your guard down and end up taking a hit."
