Even if he was not from the Ootsutsuki clan, but a representative of an unknown powerful alien race, this could be accepted. But they tell him that this guy uses the power belonging to their own clan? And that there's only a fraction of that blood in him, so insignificant that it's almost gone?
What does he mean by that? It was inconceivable, inconceivable! He couldn't, he just couldn't accept it!
It was a collapse, a complete collapse of his worldview.
What was it like? Imagine the path to power: one has only to follow it, step by step, and in the end one will achieve immortality — at least in their understanding. And now he is being told that it is enough to take one of the first steps, pull it out of the common path, wait a little, develop it well, or at least somehow, and you will get a power that surpasses the final goal. It turns out that the ultimate goal of this whole long journey is just a starting point for a single stage of it. What kind of mockery is this?
What does "one plus one is less than two" mean?
That's exactly it!
That is why Ootsutsuki Isshiki would rather believe that Uchiha Yue is an alien like himself than that all his power is contained in a pair of Mangekyo Sharingans. Just a pair of Mangekye Sharingans... just a pair of Sharingans! What was their Ootsutsuki clan becoming then? What did the Divine Tree mean then? What did all the long-term efforts of their kind become?
Uchiha Yue... such a monster has no place in this world, no — in the whole universe! Perhaps the very merging of the Uchiha clan's blood, their Sharingan, with the genes of the local natives was a mistake!
And it was this knowledge that terrified Ootsutsuki Isshiki. He understood that under no circumstances would he be able to defeat Uchiha Yue. After all, his copy from a parallel world piloted a gigantic demonic mech, was resurrected and fought Uchiha Yue in the prime of her life.
And what was the outcome? Nothing. He just quietly disappeared without a trace.
This is the fate of anyone who dares to stand up to Uchiha Yue.
And he hasn't even been resurrected yet. He will have to face a true disaster that has already engulfed the entire planet. Once this calamity appears through the Dragon Vein, dead silence and darkness will envelop this world. Then he will have nowhere to run — he will only have to wait for death.
Having found, as it seemed to him, the only correct solution, Isshiki, after a moment's thought, exclaimed:
— Let's blow up the Dragon Vein! As soon as she disappears, Uchiha Yue will lose touch with this world and will not be able to invade here!
"Absolutely not, Mr. Jigen! We've already had that thought!
"But the Dragon Vein is too important. It is thanks to her that we can move between worlds. Uchiha Yue is not a dead man, he is a living being. Even if we blow it up, what guarantee is there that he won't find another way to break into our world?
"And if we lose the Dragon Vein, we won't be able to explore ways to travel to other universes." And then we really will only have to wait for death!
The two Senju Tobiramas quickly dissuaded Ootsutsuki Isshiki from this venture. There was some truth in their words, and even a considerable one. However, Isshiki wanted to argue that the problem was not so big, because there was also a Plow. With his help, they could also leave this world.
But there was a problem: this Plow could not be found anywhere! No one knew where he was. In addition, only a member of the Ootsutsuki clan could awaken and use the Plow, and in his current state, Isshiki was unable to do so — only after complete resurrection.
But a complete resurrection was unlikely!
These ninjas have already reported who the Destiny's Child is, but it hasn't been born yet. His vessel didn't exist yet. So he couldn't have been resurrected. And without that, it was impossible to escape from the planet.
"Unless... unless you go to a new parallel world, find the Destiny's Child there, intercept it before the "I" from that world does, resurrect and escape from this planet! Yes, that's right! The other me, I'm sorry, but I have to survive. I want to live in a world without Uchiha Yue!"
At that moment, Ootsutsuki Isshiki understood everything. He found a way to survive.
And what about the Shinobi world? He is not his doppelganger from a parallel world, not that idiot. Even without meeting him, Isshiki knew: greed. That "he" fell victim to his own greed. He probably wanted to get Uchiha Yue's power to become a god alone, but he miscalculated. Whatever "for the sake of the Shinobi world" is, it's all for yourself. And although Isshiki himself was not averse to seizing Yue's power, but knowing how it ended for his double, he did not feel the slightest interest in her. Once he was resurrected, and he didn't give a damn about the life and death of these natives, he would immediately escape from this planet.
What kind of curse had brought him to this planet!
And if so, then the preservation of the Dragon Vein became a prerequisite. He had to use her and the powers of these ninjas to develop a technology for moving through space and time.
"Well, in that case, let's save the Dragon Vein," Isshiki said, taking a deep breath and calming down. He looked at the two Senju Tobirama and asked, "However, she is a great danger right now. We can't be sure that Uchiha Yue won't come here. If that happens, our world is over. Do you have any ideas?
—Yes, sir, yes!" But for this we will need your help! Tobirama from the main world nodded and began to explain.
It turned out that, realizing the need to study the technology of moving between worlds, they had been puzzling over how to safely explore the Dragon Vein for a long time. Its destruction seemed to be the only way out — a drastic decision, but fraught with unpredictable consequences. So it was impossible to blow it up. But then what to do? After much thought, they finally came to the conclusion that they would have to blow it up. But not now, but only under certain circumstances, according to a pre-prepared plan. That's why they came to Jigen. They needed his power to turn the Dragon Vein into a bomb. Normally, no matter what they did, nothing would have happened to the apartment. But if absolutely necessary, they could undermine it, destroy it, and thus gain time by delaying the invasion of Uchiha Yue.
After listening to their plan, Ootsutsuki Isshiki nodded. He agreed. If it helps to stop Uchiha Yue…
