Isshiki [ORIGIN UNIVERSE]
Issihiki knew he was in trouble the moment he realized that Kaguya was free… When they arrived on this planet, Kaguya was nothing more than a weakling, but he couldn’t say the same after she consumed the Chakra Fruit. Only their Clan Patriarch, the Clan Elders and the Elites of their Clan had consumed one and he knew just how strong all of them were.
Even though he could use Chakra just like them, he knew that he was no match for them… Kaguya was from one of the lowest-tier groups of their clan, but after consuming the Chakra Fruit, her powers must have multiplied severalfold. She may not be as strong as even one of the Elites of their Clan since her foundation was weak, but he was still no match for her.
Thankfully, he was certain that Kaguya did not he was still alive or she would have come after him a thousand years ago. However, now that she was back, all of his hard work for the past thousand years has gone to waste. Kara was done for… Without Chakra, they were just average humans and without Chakra, even the cyborgs were nothing but scrap.
That is why he decided to abandon Kara and go into hiding… Avoiding the God Tree and the Infinite Tsukiyomi wasn’t that hard for him, but he knew that he could not stay out in the open… So, he simply decided to bide his time and gather as much power as he could… His Clan was eventually going to realize that something must have gone wrong and they were going to come looking.
That was when he was going to act and rejoin his Clan… That filthy whore was going to pay for betraying him. Chakra Fruit or not! He was going to make sure of it…
Then all of a sudden a gasp escaped his lips when he felt something pierce through him. “You look pretty alive for someone who is supposed to be dead, Isshiki” He heard a feminine voice as she slowly turned around only for his eyes to grow wide in shock. Kaguya was standing right there… Did she know he was still alive? Still… How did she even find him?
Kaguya looked quite different from before and Isshiki didn’t miss her left arm where she had implanted several eyes… And her presence… Isshiki could tell that she was strong, but if she wasn’t standing right in front of him, there was no way he could have sensed her. It felt like she was a part of the Nature… How?
Even though Isshiki had so many questions, he knew that he was in trouble… He needed to get away from her as quickly as he could. Isshiki tried to use Sukunahikona to shrink himself and escape since there was no way he could fight her, but just when he was about to activate his Kakugan, a gasp escaped his lips when another rod pierced his back.
Isshiki whirled around and much to his horror, he found another Kaguya standing behind him… Isshiki knew that he needed to act soon. He pulled out some kunai from inside his jacket and tossed them at one of the Kaguyas before attacking the other Kaguya. Isshiki was expecting her to dodge or catch his hand, but he wasn’t expecting his hand to simply pass through her.
What the hell? What kind of power was that?
However, instead of getting an answer, he was stabbed by metallic rods from both sides. “Come now, Isshiki… Do not fight this” Kaguya said softly as Isshiki dropped to his knees and started to pant. The rods were interfering with his Chakra network, which was not good… Then all of a sudden, his vision darkened as Kaguya loomed over him.
“Agghhh!!” Isshiki screamed as felt Kaguya dig into his eye socket…
“I am going to put this to good use” Kaguya said as she decided to put Kakugan inside a glass jar for the time being and store it inside her Kamui dimension.
“Eventually they are going to realize something is wrong” Isshiki spat hatefully as he glared at Kaguya. Right now, he was cursing himself for not keeping his Byakugan activated all the time. He might have noticed her arrival if he had his Byakugan activated. However, there was no medicine for regrets.
“I am aware… That is why I need more power” Kaguya admitted offhandedly as she looked down at Isshiki. With his words, Isshiki was expecting to get a rise out of her, but his plan seems to have fallen flat. “Right now, I might be stronger than thrash like you, but I am still not ready to face any of the Elites, much less any of the Elders or the Patriarch” Kaguya admitted grimly, once again surprising Kaguya.
“Hmm… At least you know your place, bottom feeder” Isshiki spat in disgust.
However, instead of getting angry, Kaguya simply smiled. After all, Isshiki was right… In the clan, she was nothing but a bottom feeder. To change her fate, she allowed her greed to win and in the process, she ended up betraying Isshiki for the Chakra Fruit. Regardless, she still did not regret the choice she made that day, otherwise, Isshiki would have sacrificed her to nurture the God Tree.
Yes, she could have returned with her Kama, but she was not willing to give up her life even if temporary… Kaguya always wanted to be free. She wanted to be free from all the expectations. She wanted to be free from all the traditions. She wanted to be free from the caste system in the clan and above all, she wanted to be free from her clan…
“At least, I decided to fight against my fate instead of simply accepting it. Goodbye, Isshiki” Kaguya said and stabbed him with All-Killing Ash Bone… Isshiki gasped before he started to scream as he turned into ash… “Clean this place and see if you can find anything useful before returning” Kaguya ordered the clone as she opened a Portal.
Kaguya stared at the spot where Issihiki was standing for a moment before finally stepping inside the portal… To be honest, Kaguya was expecting some epic fight, but Isshiki was nothing but a disappointment. However, she guessed that she couldn’t blame him… After all, she was just like him and she would have lost against Naruto and Sasuke if not for the memories. Kaguya hated her clan, but she was just as arrogant as them.
Kaguya was not completely useless, but her skills were mothering compared to the skills of an average Jonin before she decided to absorb the memories of veteran Shinobi and train. The rest of her clan was like that too… After all, why would they need to train when they could simply overwhelm their enemies with raw strength? Thankfully, Kaguya now knew that skills and combat training could be force multipliers.
That was why instead of attacking Isshiki, she decided to ambush him silently… After all, it did not if she was being cowardly or not… What mattered was that she was alive and her enemy was dead…
However, now that Isshiki was finally dealt with, Kaguya knew that she needed to return to her training. Her Clan was not going to wait and just like Isshiki said, eventually they were going to realize something was wrong… After all, that is what happened in the anime and her clan decided to send Momoshiki, Urashiki, and Kinshiki to Earth to see what was going on. She was confident that she could deal with the three of them on her own, but then what?
Maybe, they would send a few more members until they would have finally enough of her and send a couple of Elites to get her…
Kaguya knew that she was no match for the Elites… She needed to grow stronger to match them and she could not do that in this world. So, using Fuinjutsu to hide this world from her clan before going to another world was going to be the best course of action for her… Maybe, she could travel to Marvel, DC, or one of the Cultivation Worlds she saw in the memories of Janet and maybe, recruit some subordinates on the way.
However, for the time being, she needed to train and grow stronger… Maybe, she could send off her clones across the Elemental Nations to gather all the knowledge from the Hidden Villages… All that knowledge may not be useful, but there was bound to be something she might find useful and she still needed to discover the unique power of her Rinne Sharingan. Just like all Mangekyo Sharingan eyes, all Rinnegan eyes possessed some unique powers.
For example, Madara could use the ability of Limbo: Hengoku which allowed him to summon several clones of himself from different realms. These clones could not be seen or sensed by anyone except for someone with Rinnegan or the Six Paths Sage Mode. And Sasuke could exchange himself with someone or an object within a certain range with his Rinnegan. He could also open portals to travel through dimensions.
Kaguya clutched her hand tightly as a determined look appeared on her face… There was a lot she needed to do, she could kick back and relax after she had dealt with her clan…
~~Five Months Later~~
Kaguya stared at the seal on her belly with a long of pure excitement on her face. It had been five months since she killed Isshiki and implanted the Kakugan in her arm. The Kakugan was not that useful, compared to all the other eyes she possessed, but it would be a waste to throw it away, so she implanted it.
Kaguya closed her eyes and started to absorb the Nature Chakra around her… It took her five months. Five long months to finally reach the level of Minato Namikaze in Fuinjutsu and then modify the Eight Trigrams Seal to store Nature Chakra… The Eight Trigrams Seal was originally designed to seal a Tailed Beast, but after some tweaking, she was able to store Nature Chakra inside it.
With her Wood Clones, it was easy for her to test the modified Seal and after a whole month of testing, she was finally confident to place the Seal on herself…
While challenging the Nature Chakra through her body, she started to direct the extra straight into the seal. A smile bloomed on her face as the Seal started to work as intended… There were no leaks, but the process was far from over. The Seal was massive from the inside. The seal was strong enough to keep the whole Kyuubi, so the amount of Nature Chakra she could probably store inside the Seal was not going to be any less than the amount of Chakra the Kyuubi possessed, which was a lot.
By the end of it, she would probably end up drying the Sacred Lands of all the Summons, but she wasn’t worried. After all, even if she absorbed all the Nature Chakra from the planet, it would replenish on its own… It might take years to happen, but it would happen eventually. As long as there was life on this planet, Nature Chakra would always get replenished with the passage of time.
Kaguya started to suck all the Nature Chakra in the Elemental Nations like a vortex and after an hour, there was nothing left for her to absorb. She had absorbed all the Nature Chakra on this continent, but her Seal wasn’t even half-filled. Kaguya could probably absorb Nature Chakra from the rest of the Continents while sitting here, but the process was going to be extremely slow…
Even though the Seal was far from full, Kaguya could still use Senjutsu without stopping as long as she continued channelling the Nature Chakra from the Seal through her body and then back into the Seal. She would need to keep repeating the cycle, then she could stay in the Sage Mode forever.
However, Kaguya wasn’t willing to stop now. Even though her original intention was complete, she was still planning to fill up her Seal completely with Nature Chakra. The Elemental Nations was just a continent, and there were 5 more continents besides the Elemental Nations…
First, there was this continent where none of the humans possessed the ability to wield Chakra, but there were Chakra Beasts on that continent. The humans have learned how to kill those beasts and compress their power into some devices called Teigu… The Teigus have stopped working after she had used the God Tree to absorb the Chakra, but the Nature Chakra on that continent was still present in abundance.
Second, there was this continent where the humans would dance to wield to power of Chakra and use Chakra in the form of four elements… There were also some beings called Spirits roaming on the continent and they would bestow their power upon the humans. To be honest, Kaguya found their techniques amusing from an entertainment perspective… The humans on this continent lost the ability to wield Chakra and the so-called Spirits simply disappeared.
This continent was the biggest continent in this world and the place was still brimming with Nature Chakra…
The third continent was where humans referred to Chakra as Magic and they used Chakra through books… No, that is not right… They called them Grimoires. However, the Grimoires and the humans lost their ‘Magic’ after she absorbed Chakra from the planet, but the Continent was still filled with an abundance of Nature Chakra.
The last continents lacked any human civilization and were dominated by Chakra Beasts… Once again, both of those continents were brimming with Nature Chakra…
With so many options in front of her… Kaguya decided to travel to the closest continent and absorb Nature Chakra as long as her Seal wasn’t completely full…
