<div> When Isshiki tried that sneak attack earlier, Natsuki had actually planned to take it head-on.
 But he'd instinctively sensed something was off, so he dodged instead. He just had this gut feeling that getting hit by it wouldn't be a good thing.
 So it was necessary to warn Orochimaru, just in case he got so deep into his research that he accidentally fell for it.
 Blood tears streamed down Isshiki's cheeks. Even without his eyes, you could still see the despair and unwillingness in him. But his entire body was wrapped tightly by the air-dragon, and he couldn't move at all.
 Natsuki's technique wasn't something you could break out of so easily.
 Even if the air-dragon couldn't bind him for very long, it could still trap Isshiki for eight full seconds!
 At that moment, the others gathered around too, studying Isshiki with curiosity, but none of them dared get close. They'd all just seen Natsuki almost get sneak-attacked.
 The enemy could still move, so anyone without the strength shouldn't go looking for death by getting too close.
 Then Tobirama walked over with Amado of the Three Paths. "Natsuki, he says he has something to tell you."
 Natsuki looked curiously at the man who resembled Hayao Miyazaki and waited for him to speak.
 Amado of the Three Paths spoke without hesitation. "That sneak attack just now was meant to leave a Kāma mark. It's a technique for stealing a body!"
 Everyone's expressions changed. They'd assumed it was just some ordinary sneak tactic. They hadn't expected it could seize someone's body. The Ōtsutsuki really were dangerous.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">

 </div>
 </div> Good thing Natsuki hadn't tried to tank it and had chosen to dodge.
𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 Otherwise, if Natsuki's body got taken, that would be true despair for the shinobi world.
 Isshiki roared, "Amado! Are you betraying me?!"
 Amado of the Three Paths pushed up his glasses, calm as ever. "You're at the end of the road now. What good would loyalty to you do me? In fact, I was never loyal to you. I made a clone of Jiraiya to deal with you."
 "What?!" Isshiki's voice turned sharp. "Don't you want to revive your daughter?!"
 "Of course I do. But if the shinobi world is devoured by your tree plan, if this entire world stops existing, then even if my daughter is revived, where would she go? And you, an outsider, have never treated the people of this world as people. Even if the God Tree truly succeeds, would you really share the chakra fruit with us?"
 "I will!"
 "Heh. I don't believe you."
 Amado of the Three Paths smiled with open ridicule. "Your arrogance, your coldness, your Ōtsutsuki superiority. I've watched all of it for years. You only care about yourself. For your own safe reincarnation, for your own chakra fruit, you didn't hesitate to reveal your identity and dangle bait in front of everyone. Greedy people will believe your lies. But I absolutely won't."
 Isshiki: "…"
 He had nothing to say. In truth, he saw himself as a lofty Ōtsutsuki. Of course he'd never put shinobi-world natives in his eyes.
 He didn't care whether Amado's daughter could be revived. The only thing he cared about was whether Amado worked properly and whether he could help find a suitable vessel.
 It was the same for the other members. If it weren't for the fact he hadn't reincarnated yet, he wouldn't have relied on these worthless insects at all!
 Share chakra fruit with him? They could dream.
 The others watched the drama with interest. Looks like Kara's internal situation was pretty entertaining. They'd have to dig into it properly.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Natsuki pressed, "So what exactly is this Kāma mark?"
 Amado of the Three Paths didn't hide anything. "Kāma is the Ōtsutsuki clan's method of reincarnation. They copy all of their power, convert it into data, and implant it into someone else's body, leaving behind what's called a Kāma mark. Over time, the Kāma gradually 'thaws,' continuously invading the host's brain until it ultimately takes the host's body and completes the reincarnation. But not everyone can withstand that power, so the reincarnation vessel is crucial."
 "A vessel?"
 "A vessel, or a host, is the key to reincarnation!"
 Amado of the Three Paths continued. "Isshiki bragged that he and Kaguya came to this planet in ancient times. Originally, the plan was for Kaguya to be sacrificed to the Ten-Tails, and for him to reincarnate through Kāma. But Kaguya suddenly betrayed him. He fled on the brink of death. Fortunately, he encountered a monk named Jigen, so he used Sukunahikona to shrink himself and enter Jigen's body, taking it over.
 But Jigen's body was no good and wasn't suitable for reincarnation. So Isshiki spent many years searching for a proper vessel.
 Later, he realized searching alone was too inefficient, so he created Kara. I was lured into Kara because I wanted to revive my daughter.
 Over the years, I primarily handled the research work, while the other members helped him search for qualified vessels. The plan was: once a vessel was found, Isshiki would place the Kāma mark. When the Kāma had thawed enough, he would use Jigen's body to sacrifice the Ten-Tails, then reincarnate through Kāma. The Ten-Tails would become a God Tree and bear fruit. At that point, all inner members would supposedly share the fruit…"
 Now that was a huge pie he'd been drawing.
 Everyone looked at Isshiki, and honestly, they were impressed.
 He'd dared to expose his true identity under massive risk. He'd aimed straight at human greed.
 After all, once people learned that eating a chakra fruit not only granted enormous power but also increased lifespan, very few could resist the temptation.
 And Isshiki's "confession" had looked sincere, naturally making greedy people believe him.
 So the greedy would willingly work for him.
 In reality, it was all for Isshiki's reincarnation. Once Isshiki truly reincarnated, with that overwhelming power, who could possibly stop him?
 As if he'd share the chakra fruit then.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Only greedy idiots would think that kind of bait tasted good.
 You had to admit, Isshiki understood the weaknesses of human nature. He exploited people's greed, and he exploited Amado's love for his daughter. He really was a successful final-boss-level villain.
 But Isshiki was also truly unlucky. First, he got stabbed in the back by Kaguya. Then, on the verge of death, the person he found was a useless body that couldn't serve as a vessel. He searched for years and still couldn't find a container that could bear him. He hid in the shadows for ages, only to get exposed because his useless underlings blew it. It was like everything that could go wrong did.
 Natsuki couldn't help laughing. "So after all those years of hiding, he still never found a suitable vessel?"
 Amado of the Three Paths sighed. "He tried many people. No one could withstand his power. That's why his reincarnation kept getting delayed. And without reincarnating, he couldn't sacrifice the Ten-Tails either, which delayed the tree plan."
 "Ha! That's insanely unlucky!"
 Natsuki doubled over laughing, and the others couldn't hold it in either, all of them grinning wide with bright teeth showing.
 Hearing their laughter, Isshiki felt the mockery stab into his ears. He was so furious his insides seemed to burn. He wanted nothing more than to destroy the shinobi world on the spot.
