Chapter 103

"Everyone stay calm and listen to me." I exclaimed as I slammed the table before moving towards Mifune and his deceased subordinate

I then kneeled and generated a pure cyan-colored chakra from my hand before touching the lifeless body in front of me.

His wounds then began to rapidly close along with his clothes reconstructing themselves, and suddenly, the man opened his eyes and coughed, evacuating the blood that remained stuck in his throat before looking at his hands and then at me and Mifune while mumbling "I-I'm alive..?"

"Of course you are, I just brought you back." I declared before getting up while Mifune checked his subordinate's pulse and said with a gentle voice "Thank you, Yuichi-sama... Now I see how you brought back Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sama."

"You're welcome." I shortly let out before moving back to the table, facing everyone except Mifune since he was still attending to his subordinate

"Now if you please, there was an unexpected entrance... And it seems like our enemies decided to strike first." I exclaimed, making everyone listen to me attentively

"But this is actually better for us, after all, our armies are ready to fight... And I believe that the fact that they showed themselves isn't related to Michiko's betrayal, she was but an 'Outer' knowing nothing too important... No, instead, I think they acted this way because what they seek is too close to pass by." I then explained before looking at Kaguya who was back on my chair, just to my right

I then looked at the guard who just got up and asked him "Could you tell us what you saw west?"

The man's expression obviously shifted from relief to horror as he said "It- I saw a massive brown monster with many spikes on his back, a giant human-teethed mouth, and a massive red eye shaped with rings... It also has numerous arms and it summoned many smaller monsters that are still as big as a Tailed Beast! It completely destroyed anything in its path, even the mountains around look like they withered!"

"The smaller monsters are as big as a Tailed Beast you said?! What kind of abomination did they unleash..." the Raikage said as he held his head with one of his hands

"I know what it is, and now I'm sure about their current objective..." I exclaimed, making everyone shift their gaze to me before adding "Remember when I talked about the God Tree? Well, this monster is the God Tree's seed, and it absorbs the surrounding Natural Energy as well as chakra to bloom... But to change into a God Tree, it needs to absorb someone."

"An Ōtsutsuki." Rasa let out before looking at Kaguya who nodded and declared "Isshiki wants to use me as a sacrifice to finish what he couldn't do in the past... If he succeeds, this planet is doomed."

"Then she should hide!" Michiko exclaimed but I shook my head left and right and explained "And be at the mercy of that boy who can seemingly go anywhere he wants? It will be better for us if Kaguya is close to us, not only would we be able to help her if she gets caught but her strength will definitely be needed in our upcoming battle."

"I agree with Yuichi-sama, while it might seem risky at first, it is definitely better than leaving her alone to hide." Mei let out before Rasa exclaimed "Now that it came to this we have to bring our armies to the front west of the Land of Iron... But I'm afraid that it will take too long, this country might already be doomed."

The negativity of the Kazekage truly affected Mifune as he clenched his fist, frustrated that it might be the end of his country, still, he exclaimed "I can gather an army and try to hold these monsters back until you come with your reinforcement, however, if that thing is stronger than the Tailed Beasts together, it might be for naught."

"Don't worry, I was interrupted before but I have allies of mine already moving toward the west, they should be able to slow them down enough for us to bring our armies... After all, this group is led by Madara Uchiha." I revealed, making once again everyone surprised that another legendary shinobi was still alive

"Even then, it will still take days to arrive, let alone the shinobi from Kiri and Kumo." Michiko said but I quickly retorted "About that, don't worry." before making five clones as I explained "My clones will teleport you back to your respective villages, once there, I want you to gather all shinobi who will take part in this battle and let me make a speech in front of them, with you staying on my clone's side to show that we are in an Alliance."

"After that, I will perform a massive teleportation, in short, it will only take at most a few hours, the time for your subordinates to prepare, for all armies to arrive at the front west." I added, giving back some hope to Mifune as he let out a sigh of relief

"I see, but won't that weaken you for the upcoming battle? It will definitely cost a massive amount of chakra from you." the Raikage said but I shook my head and replied "Don't worry, I heavily researched the subject and finally created something I tried to do for years now... Basically, by using spacial coordinates, chakra, and natural energy, as well as some extremely complex Fūinjutsu, I can create gates that are linked with each other."

'Though it is still in the experimenting part... Let's not make them worried' I thought as I hoped that no one will find themselves with an arm growing from their crotch and their balls finding themselves on their head

Still, I had to thank the Ōtsutsuki technique I learned called Yomotsu Hirasaka, after all, I based the portal on this technique which allowed me to get an even better understanding of space-time ninjutsu.

I then coughed and asked "Also, I will not reveal my ability to revive the deceased to your armies, please do not talk about it to them either."

"Understandable." Rasa let out which made the Raikage and Mei ponder as to why I shouldn't reveal that

Minato saw their gaze and explained "The simple fact of risking one's life makes one stronger and more inclined to fight with everything they have... If the risk of dying was nonexistent, they wouldn't use their full abilities and it might increase our chance of loss." to which Rasa nodded since Suna had the shinobi who fought the most with the risk of dying, their country being such a rough place

"Still, how are we going to explain the presence of Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara?" the Raikage asked without using any honorifics

"Honestly, everyone is going to be so busy that they won't have the time to ponder about the how and the why." I replied as I shrugged my shoulders

They would be surprised the moment they see them but they just need to look at the monsters in front of them again for a moment and their mind will be occupied.

"Anyway, let my clones bring you back home, we have a war to prepare for, and the sooner my speech happens, the sooner everyone can be ready, and the sooner we'll take care of it." I said as every Kage nodded, my clones standing near them and their respective bodyguards before teleporting them away

Now, only Kaguya, Hashirama, Tobirama, Mifune, and his bodyguards were in the room, so I turned toward Mifune and asked "From what we know, the monsters are coming from the mountains west, but could you tell me if there is somewhere flat and preferably large on their way?"

Mifune looked down for a second as he replied "There is, but... The third most populated city of the Land of Iron is located there, taking most of the plain, aside from that, it's only mountains, villages, and overall disadvantageous terrain for us until the capital."

He was obviously worried about his citizen living in this city, and both of us knew what we had to do as I exclaimed "We will have to take the fight where this city is then."

Mifune was a little bit on edge and blurted out "But the citizen!" to which I quickly stopped him and said "Don't worry, I will move them by using the same portal my clones are assembling right now in the five great shinobi villages, in fact, a clone of mine is already doing so right now."

'After all, I left a clone in the Ancor Vantian along with Madara and his group' I thought as they were already near the battlefield, my clone ready to assemble the portal

"I just need you to tell them when we get there, as for the city, well… I'll have to raze it to the ground, sorry 'bout that. But don't worry! I will help with paying for the damage, money has never been a problem for me I explained which made Mifune chuckle nervously before saying "It's fine, as long as the citizens are safe, it doesn't matter if there is material damage, one city is better to lose than the entire continent and its inhabitants after all."

"Great, now could you gather all samurai? It's soon time for me to do my speech." I exclaimed to which Mifune nodded and left the room, leaving me with Kaguya, Hashirama, and Tobirama

"So, how do you intend to raze the city?" Tobirama asked as he stayed silent for most of the meeting since he was summoned, his back laying on the wall

"I happen to have the perfect technique to completely erase a city without much effort, though it will leave a crater behind so my clones asked all Kage to group those who can use Earth Release so they can arrive first and fill it." I explained which made Tobirama shrug it off before Hashirama asked "Yuichi, don't you think Tobirama and myself should go to the frontline and help Madara right now? I can't help but feel nervous even though your preparations wouldn't take more than two hours at most."

"Mmh... You're right, I was thinking about it anyway, just go with a clone of mine since I don't want you and Madara to start bickering at each other." I replied which made Hashirama smile while Tobirama was slightly annoyed to see Madara's face sooner

"Just one thing, be careful of these 'Inners', I don't know anything about them, but if that number five guy was their average shinobi, you will die from being careless." I warned them since the boy who appeared out of nowhere before was someone who even I couldn't seemingly kill, well, we'll see about that

"Don't worry! I know our goal isn't to kill it but to slow it down as much as possible until everyone is here." Hashirama said which reassure me as I nodded before making a clone to bring them to the front

"Stay careful, my clone may be able to help you by using Ninjutsu but he can't use my Dōjutsu and even less revive you if you die, though he can bring your bodies to me if that happens before I'm here." I said as both of them nodded before putting their hands on my clone's shoulders and teleporting away

I then turned towards Kaguya, presented my hand, and said "Let's join Mifune, shall we?" which made Kaguya take my hand as we left the meeting room and left the building to go where Mifune grouped all the samurai that would join the war

Since my speech will take place simultaneously in all six places, I wasn't in a hurry, after all, all leaders were doing an introduction speech to let their shinobi know that the meeting went well and that my presence alongside them was because I was made the Supreme Leader of the Alliance, and therefore my orders had to be acknowledged by them.

And after a few more minutes, as we arrived where Mifune was currently speaking to his own army, I let go of Kaguya's hand and came up to his side the moment he finished.

Coughing in my hand before starting, I then put my arms behind my back, used Sound Release, and began to declare with a voice that could be heard clearly by everyone "Dear samurai of the Land of Iron, just as your leader told you, I, Yuichi Senju, was made the Supreme Leader of the Alliance with the accord of every Kage present during the meeting." as my clones changed the word samurai by shinobi and also the land according to where they were

"I, as well as all Kage, are all aware of the enmities that some of us hold against each other, but today is the day when you should put them aside, just like all Kage did during the meeting, and for one important reason: all of us, regardless of the village we are coming from, are currently facing a threat like no other." I continued as my clones replaced the 'all Kage' with their respective Kage's name

"As I am talking, the Land of Iron, the land that always stayed neutral with all of us shinobi, is getting attacked by this threat, a threat that will then strike the lands near before eventually reaching yours, simply because it does not intend to stop until everything is destroyed and everyone is dead."

"This massive threat requires the cooperation of all of us because no village, individually, would be capable of dealing with it, and let me show you why." I continued before using the camera device of the Ancor Vantian that showed the massive Ten-Tails as well as the army of smaller yet as big as the Tailed Beasts monsters ravaging the western mountains of the Land of Iron

It was a recording so it didn't show Hashirama and Tobirama yet, however, they could see a group of people jumping from where the camera was filming toward the army of monsters.

Of course, this created a commotion as those who listened to me began to talk with each other, saying things like 'What monstrosity is this' or 'We can't fight against that' so, after a few seconds, I breathed in and shouted "SILENCE." by using Sound Release again which created a blast powerful enough to make them jolt but not fall or be pushed back

"As you saw, a group of people is currently slowing down these monsters as much as possible for us to arrive, these people are our allies, and while they are individually powerful, it won't be enough. That's why we need everyone we can to join the fray, if we don't do that then you can say goodbye to your families and friends since, as I said, it won't stop at the Land of Iron." I then declared which made many of them impressed when they learned that a small group of people was already facing this army

"Also, unlike what you may think, this isn't a battle, it's a war because this giant monster is being used by a group of seventeen people, a group named Kara and whose leader has for goal to absorb all life on our planet to become the most powerful being in the world, and if you think that they are less of a threat than the army of monsters, you would be wrong..." I then dropped the bomb which definitely made many shinobi lose some hope

"That's why we will make groups. Most of you will be tasked to deal with the monsters, and some smaller groups will take care of those from Kara, then, another group will take care of the massive monster... I know you may think that it will be impossible for you to fight these things, but you are not alone, cooperation and coordination will be our key to victory, and you won't be doing it just for yourselves but to protect everyone you hold dear."

"This is a war we have to do and a battle we have to win if we want a future, and regardless of the outcome, not participating will undoubtedly lead to our doom. So fight, and show everything you got, death always happens during war, but this time, it won't be against each other but all of us together against a common enemy. This will be the greatest war in the history of shinobi, and also the shortest, so let's show these despicable people how effective our cooperation will be against them!" I finished as I raised my fist above my head and spoke louder at the end

Every single shinobi, and samurai, then did the same and shouted, making the crowd not full of fear and hopelessness as before but instead fired up and ready to fight to the death for their future.

I inwardly smiled at that, after all, my initial goal was to forever stop the needless war happening against each other, and this battle was definitely the best opportunity to do so.

Nevertheless, I as well as my clones then took a few steps back to let Mifune and all Kage speak to their citizens, asking them to prepare quickly since this war happened so suddenly, before asking those who could use Earth Release to come forth first once they are ready, giving everyone one hour to prepare.

While they did, my clones would build the gates that will bring everyone to the front, while bringing all Kage back to the meeting room so we could talk about a strategy... Well, since this war consists of a single battle, it won't be something sophisticated.

And as I moved back to where Kaguya was waiting for me, she grasped my arm which made me surprised and when I met her eyes, I understood that she had something urgent to tell me so I asked "What's wrong?"

Kaguya didn't reply and instead tapped my hand with a peculiar rhythm so I let out "Ah that's right, I forgot to bring that, let's go take it." before making a clone that would take part in the strategy meeting instead of me

I then teleported us somewhere no one would expect us to be: on the Moon, and once we were up there, I asked again "So, did you notice someone spying on us for you to do that?" since the rhythm she used to tap my hand was one we set in case someone was watching us

She nodded at that and then began to explain "I think I know what ability the boy had, and if I am correct, they could spy on us with ease."

This made me raise an eyebrow as I asked "Won't they hear us right now as well?" to which she shook her head left and right as she replied "They could, but they would need to know where to spy at first."

Of course I was now curious so I changed our surroundings to something cozier and sat on an armchair as I asked "I'm all ears then. The more we know about them the better it will go."

Kaguya then came near me and sat on my lap before explaining "His ability reminded me of someone from the Ōtsutsuki Clan who also had it, though it was a lot stronger."

"What's his name?" I shortly asked as I brough her closer to me with my arms surrounding her waist since she was sitting side-wise

"Shibai, Shibai Ōtsutsuki, but... He's not with us anymore." Kaguya replied before I inquired "Is he dead?" but she once again shook her head and said "No, he didn't die."

"Then..?" I wondered if he was still alive but she promptly added "Shibai Ōtsutsuki was the Ōtsutsuki Clan's leader, and everyone saw him as a God ever since he achieved ascension, he was the only one who successfully did so after eating countless chakra fruits."

"But, to ascend, he had to leave his physical body behind, and many wanted to take it for their own greed, but the body suddenly disappeared without a trace in the middle of their strife." Kaguya explained which made me frown as I asked "Do you think Isshiki was the one who stole it?"

"Maybe. While it was a long time ago, he was definitely there back then... And it cannot be a coincidence to see the same ability appear again, an ability too unnatural for the boy to be born with it, but a human shouldn't be able to withstand that." Kaguya said which made me look down and think about an explanation

'If Isshiki truly has Shibai's physical body with him then it should be possible to use his DNA and biologically modify someone with it, but the chance of success would be zero since no human could withstand a foreign and higher's race DNA, unless they have a similar ability to mine or are descendant of Kaguya, then again, it's unlikely' I thought as I took off one of my arms surrounding Kaguya to stroke my chin

"Unless..." I thought out loud before an idea came to mind so I looked up again to meet Kaguya's eyes and asked "Did you feel something wrong with that boy? As if he truly wasn't... Human?"

Her eyes blinked a few times before replying "He wasn't human. He felt like... Like... Me..?"

Kaguya was slightly distressed when she said that since she didn't understand how it was possible, however, I was now sure of it as I said out loud "Shit, there's a high chance that he was a homunculus just like the body I used for your revival... It would definitely be possible to modify them with the DNA of a higher being since they are extremely adaptable, and if that's the case, this bastard got his hands on Orochimaru's and my's research."

Since I was unable to track him back then and barely could recently, it's plausible that he sneakily observed, stole, or copied our successful research... And that boy, I also felt that he wasn't entirely human, which could possibly mean that all Inners were homunculus modified with Shibai's DNA.

I don't think Outers were also modified, it takes time to create a homunculus, and doing a dozen in less than ten years is impossible even with the whole formula, six, however...

"Could you tell me what abilities that Shibai guy had?" I then urgently asked since it would allow us to predict the Inners' most powerful abilities, if my assumption was correct, of course

"Shibai was the only Ōtsutsuki known to have five different Dōjutsu, he had one light-green Rinnegan in each palm, one of them allowed him to reflect anything coming his way while the other was able to create black orbs that could absorb anything it touched." Kaguya first explained while I was taking notes in my mind

'So his Rinnegan abilities are basically Reflection and Absorption, great' I thought before Kaguya continued "He then had a Dōjutsu he named Senrigan as his left eye, and it allowed him to see the past and the present of any location, coupled with the ability to go wherever he wanted, which he used to cheat death, just like that boy."

[Self-made Senrigan because I didn't find one]

"I see, you wanted us to go somewhere they wouldn't expect because one of them could have the ability to see us with this ability?" I asked to which she nodded before I questioned again "But these two abilities are tied to this Dōjutsu, right? Then that boy had the Senrigan?"

"No, that's why I said it wasn't as powerful. I think he could only use the ability to be where he wanted, and while he cheated death, I'm sure it wasn't on the same level as Shibai because he could travel to the past with this ability." Kaguya said which I also believed to be the case since we wouldn't have been here in the first I've if he could travel to the past at will

Still, the boy had a form of Omnipresence, and maybe one of them had a sort of Clairvoyance... The more I knew, the more I understood how Shibai was considered a God amongst the Ōtsutsuki.

Nevertheless, Kaguya then continued "His right eye was usually a Byakugan but he could change it into the Hōgan, and it allowed him to change the size of anything. I don't know if it can do something else, I only knew about the ones he used a lot and became common knowledge within the Ōtsutsuki Clan."

[Hōgan or Isshiki's Dōjutsu I named that way]

"His Byakugan changed? Was it an evolution of the Byakugan?" I asked, though it reminded me of the Sharingan which appeared when the user activated it

"A few members of my Clan can change their Byakugan into another Dōjutsu they awakened, it doesn't need to have any relation to the Byakugan." Kaguya quickly explained to me while I relayed all information to my clone, though I didn't make him tell others for now

"And his last Dōjutsu?" I finally asked to wrap up our conversation and prepare a better strategy

"Not much is known about it except for the name, the Jōgan, and Shibai claimed that it was the most powerful Dōjutsu to ever exist..." Kaguya ended up saying which made me disappointed, not towards Kaguya but toward the fact that not much was known about it

[Jōgan]

"Alright, so we can expect one of them to absorb things, one of them to reflect things, one of them to see things, one of them to go to things, and one of them to change the size of things... Add Isshiki to the fray and that would be the six Inners." I let out to summarize everything Kaguya told me before embracing Kaguya again and said "You rarely talk so much, still, thank you, it might be of great help."

Kaguya couldn't help but smile as she decided to embrace me as well before mumbling "I was just worried." making me smile in return

'Now that it came to this, let's ask Inoichi to use his Mind Body Transmission Technique for our meeting, this way, spying or not they won't be able to hear anything' I thought as one of my clones at Konoha went to see both Shikaku Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka since they were two great assets for our next battle

Shikaku was by far the greatest mind I knew so I wanted him to be here during the strategy meeting, as for Inoichi, he would allow us to keep everything secret from Isshiki and his minions.

I also knew the number of people on our side thanks to my clone and since we were only bringing Jōnin and adult Chūnin to the fray, Konoha would bring around 10 250 shinobi, Kiri 5 750, Iwa 4 500, Suna 5 250, Kumo 7 250, and the Land of Iron 9 000 samurai so we have around 52 000 people on our side which was a decent amount to face off the Ten-Tails' offshoot.

It's mostly my fault if the other villages have so little shinobi, since I obliterated Kumo and Iwa at some point, while dealing heavy damage to Suna and eliminating some Clans within Kiri...

Nevertheless, it seemed like I had something else to do right now, a clone of mine just warned me that Tsunade had some difficulties with a certain strong-headed girl.

"It looks like I have to switch with one of my clones in Konoha for a while, let me bring you to the meeting room, I will switch again once I'm done." I said as I gave a quick peck on Kaguya's cheek before she left my lap and allowed me to get up

I then teleported Kaguya to the meeting room where some of the Kage already came back, Shikaku and Inoichi soon arriving along with Minato, before teleporting myself to my clone in the Senju Compound.

And as the scenery changed, the first thing I heard was an angry voice yelling "But Mom! I am a Chūnin as well, I can fight!" before another strict voice replied "You are staying here, period, girl, willingly or not, you are too young to go to war."

"But Yugito is participating!" Tsugumi yelled again only to have Tsunade retort "And she's an adult, unlike all of you who have to stay here."

I then walked inside the living room where all children in the house were grouped, along with Miroku the priestess, and the two children of Shuzo.

Tsugumi noticed me and decided to ask "Dad! I'm stronger than many of the Chūnin participating, even some Jōnin! I can help!"

"My answer will be the same as your mother's, Tsugumi, it was decided by all Kage that children wouldn't take part in the war, and you are no exception, stronger or not." I replied as I walked to Tsunade's side and laid one of my hands on her back

"But what if you die!? I would curse myself if that happens while I was forced to stay away!" Tsugumi added but I retorted "That won't happen, and while losing a parent is a common occurrence, losing your child does not have the same importance, you would only make us worried, and you're too weak to be useful anyway." while being somewhat mean to force her to stop arguing

"It doesn't matter if I die! You can just revive me anyway!" Tsugumi replied as her look was fierce but it quickly shifted to one of fear since she made me angry and release some pressure on her before I ordered "Never. Say. Something. Like. This. Again. Is that clear?"

Despite the fear, I knew my daughter had guts, too many guts, so, instead of continuing a talk that wouldn't go anywhere, I put her to sleep and prevented her from falling, taking her in my arms.

"I'm sorry it came to this, honey." I said as I spoke to Tsunade who neared me and replied "Don't worry, I know that you are doing it to protect her."

I smiled at that before asking "Could you bring her to her bedroom?" to which Tsunade nodded as she took Tsugumi in her arms

I then looked around the room and saw the worried expressions of almost everyone, making me sigh before saying "I apologize for the sight, and I hope that all of you understand that we are doing this for your protection, you are all too young to experience such a battle, and while I admit that I do not follow the Will of Fire perfectly, I agree that the younger generation must be preserved."

"It's alright, all of us will cheer for your victory." Shisui who was also here since his mother was joining the war exclaimed as he was the 'big brother' of all children here

While it was true that most of the children living with us were better than many Chūnin going to war, like Shisui, Yukimi, her brother Tenzō, and Guren, the others like Shuzo's two children, Jūgo, Fū, Kimimaro, Toneri, and, physically speaking, my son, Yushiro, were definitely too young for this.

They would become the best shinobi of the next generation but now was not their time.

And while I was lost in thoughts, Chiaki, Shuzo's daughter with Miruko, came to my side and pulled my clothes which made me ask "What is it, Chiaki?" as I kneeled to be around her height

When I did so, she came closer to my ear and whispered "Please, don't forget yourself." before going back to her mother who then said "When the war was announced, she used her power on her father but didn't tell us about what she saw... So, I don't know what she told you but I'm sure about one thing, she's never wrong."

"Thank you, Chiaki, I will make sure to follow your advice." I said with a gentle smile as I knew that her ability to read one's future came with a pain potentially worse than death

Nevertheless, I then looked at Yushiro who had a troubled expression, and said "Yushiro, follow me, I need to tell you something." which made him leave the chair he was sitting on and follow me deeper inside our house

"Father, I-" Yushiro began to utter but I interrupted him and said "It's not your fault, Yushiro, a butterfly effect was bound to happen the moment I decided to keep the memories of what you told me... And while the danger is different, I, also, am different. I'm stronger, and our enemies are not the same... We are only facing Isshiki and his minions, not many Ōtsutsuki who should have arrived one or two years ago."

I then stopped walking in the middle of the corridor as Chiaki's words were still in mind and, as one of my hands was resting on my sword, I removed it from my belt, faced Yushiro, and said "Here, take it." which made him dumbfounded as he shifted his gaze between me and my sword

"Why now? You're going to fight, you'll need it!" Yushiro exclaimed but I shook my head and replied "I reached a point where I can do everything my sword can without needing it, and believe me, I feel like it should stay here, just... Avoid using it, it eats the chakra of anyone trying to wield it, and it's filled with mine."

"...Alright, I will believe in you." Yushiro said before taking my sword which was towering over him since he was still only three years old, in contrast to his mindset

"Take care of your sister for me while Tsunade and I are away, will you?" I then asked to which he nodded so I went to join Tsunade as she was preparing, now that Tsugumi was sleeping in her bedroom

I used a special kind of barrier to surround our house, one that surely couldn't prevent the number five boy from coming in but one that would instantly kill him if he tries to... This way, he won't have the time to do anything as he will constantly be killed as long as he stands inside the house.

I also left a clone here that would do everything it can to stop him if he tried anything, after all, I knew that my weakness was my family.

For now, it seemed like Isshiki was going for a full frontal confrontation, something that was completely different behavior-wise to the Isshiki Yushiro told me about, being stealthy until the end and all... It seems like he was in a hurry now that his goal was so close, he doesn't want to waste such an opportunity.

It was time for me to get rid of him once and for all.
