“Who are you?”
Kaguya Sora held a bone blade in his hand, and his eyes released fierce killing intent.
“You don’t even recognize me? I guess I’m not as famous as I thought.” Shin shook his head with disappointment.
As expected, he hadn’t reached the point where the entire Shinobi World recognized him.
It was similar to Madara Uchiha—though his name was legendary, few would recognize him in person.
“Die!”
Kaguya Sora obviously didn’t want to talk nonsense with Shin. Holding the bone blade, he slashed towards Shin—assuming he was a Kiri Shinobi sent to kill him.
“I like your decisiveness.”
Shin didn’t want to talk nonsense either. He wanted to achieve his objective and return to the Land of Whirlpools.
It was getting late. he didn’t want Kushina and the others getting angry.
He drew his Kusanagi blade, blocking Sora’s bone blade.
The impact left a small chip in Sora’s weapon, and Shin’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. It was surprisingly durable.
“Impressive. That bone’s tougher than I thought,” Shin said with a light laugh.
Kaguya Sora didn’t pay any attention to what Shin said.
The Kaguya clan members became very bloodthirsty and crazy after entering a battle state.
Kaguya Sora was in that state now, focused solely on killing Shin. Bone spikes erupted from his body, shooting towards Shin.
In close combat, few clans could match the Kaguya Clan.
“Too slow.”
Shin’s Kusanagi blade flashed, and then Kaguya Sora froze, a line of blood appearing on his neck.
Before Sora even realized what had happened, his throat had been severed. He collapsed—Dead.
Shin sheathed his sword, storing both the blade and Sora’s corpse in the Kamui dimension.
Kamui was convenient for storage, This was equivalent to carrying a portable Inventory.
“Time to leave.”
He used Yomotsu Hirasaka to return to the Land of Whirlpools, arriving just as Mikoto finished preparing dinner.
——
After dinner, Shin retrieved Kaguya Sora’s body from Kamui. His purpose was to study Shikotsumyaku.
As for why he killed Kaguya Sora instead of keeping him alive for research, Shin wasn’t a pervert like Orochimaru
He wanted the All-Killing Ash Bones, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s signature technique—a Kekkei Mōra ability where sharp bone projectiles erupted from the user’s hand, causing anything they touched to disintegrate at a molecular level.
It was a powerful technique. Even Six Paths Obito had been disintegrated by it.
A one-hit kill Jutsu, arguably even more potent than Truth-Seeking Orbs. If it had perfect accuracy, it would be unstoppable—second only to Shin’s [Tenmomei] and [Takamagahara].
Shin definitely wanted that ability, but he suspected he’d have to wait until Kaguya was revived and copy it from her.
“Shin, whose body is that?”
Kushina asked Shin.
Because Shin threw Kaguya Sora’s corpse out in the yard, Kushina and the others naturally saw it.
“If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a Kaguya,”
Tsunade looked at Kaguya Sora and said.
The Kaguya clan’s characteristics were too obvious. The two red dots on the brow, and that hairstyle, were particularly easy to identify.
“That’s right. It’s Kaguya Sora—the Kaguya Clan head.”
Mei Terumī stared at Shin. So during his absence, Shin ran to Kirigakure and killed the Kaguya Clan Head?
“You know him?”
Shin looked at Terumi Mei with some surprise.
“Of course. He’s the Kaguya Clan head. I’m just surprised you killed him.”
Mei Terumī knew the Kaguya Clan Head was very strong.
It was precisely because of this powerful Clan Head that the Kaguya clan was relatively arrogant in Kirigakure.
However, The Kaguya Clan wasn’t well-liked. Their arrogance and bloodlust made them unpopular.
“The Kaguya Clan’s been wiped out,” Shin said.
“Did you do it?”
Kushina blinked at Shin.
“No. They weren’t my enemies. Why would I bother? They rebelled against Kirigakure and got themselves killed.”
In fact, even if the Kaguya Clan didn’t rebel, they were destined for destruction. Or rather, their Kaguya clan was actually forced to rebel by Kirigakure.
“So you killed Sora because he offended you?” Mikoto couldn’t help but ask.
“No. I wanted to research his Shikotsumyaku.”
Shin shrugged and said, and then Shin began to do research.
——
“Shin-nii, what’s wrong?” Konan asked, seeing him frown. She wanted to help.
“It’s a bit complicated. I’m not good at this kind of research.”
Shin didn’t even know where to start.
Then Shin looked at Tsunade. As the strongest medical Shinobi, he wondered if Tsunade could help.
“Want my help?” Tsunade asked, correctly interpreting his look.
However, Tsunade shook her head at Shin. She couldn’t help with researching Shikotsumyaku either.
“I can’t help with that. I’m a medic, not a geneticist. But I can recommend someone.”
“Who?” Shin asked.
“Orochimaru.”
Shin smacked his forehead. Of course! Orochimaru, the greatest scientist in the Shinobi world, was the perfect person for this. He’d be thrilled to study Shikotsumyaku.
