Year 42, Unknown location~

Isshiki looked at the fool kneeling before him, reporting about their invaders. How they have managed to wipe out the outers and currently engaging with the inners.
He almost laughed at the situation, not believing the humans could trace his activity and track his organisation.
He tried to think where he made the mistake of getting noticed but soon realised he made no such mistake. It was beneath him to do so.
'No, it's the human who found him. He is the one who's exceptional and smarter than his coms.' Isshiki smiled.
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* Multiple explosions went outside the door, bringing Isshiki out of his thoughts.
The gate to the room opened leading multiple shadows to enter and quickly subduing his subordinates which disappointed him greatly.
'Kara is too weak without me. They can't even take out a Great Village despite the Enchancment they received with the latest technology. I need someone smart to improve the technology. The current people working are not adequate.' Isshiki thought as he saw a young human slowly walked in.
He scanned the teenager from his brown mane to his emotionless eyes to his caramel skin, but what he noticed most was the immense Chakra residing in his body.
'It's comparable to that so-called God of Shinobi.' Isshiki analysed. His greed rose at the sight of a body comparable to one he considered a perfect vessel.
'If only the bastard son of that wench Kaguya wasn't looking after the reincarnation of his sons I would have resurrected myself by now.' Isshiki thought as he addressed his invaders.
"Quite impressive of you reach here." Isshiki complimented and saw his invader raise an eyebrow 'probably in surprise.' He said inwardly.
"Well, I wasn't expecting that." Came an authoritative but emotional voice from the young human.
"Ohh what were you expecting?" Isshiki questioned his own brows rising in curiosity or lack of.
"Well, I was expecting some young master shit like how dare you to enter this Otsutsuki's base base, mortal. Or courting death." He said offhandedly making me snort in amusement.
"I'm not my kin, I have learned from mistakes I have made," Isshiki said and watched the young human shrug but suddenly he frowned.
'His shrug even his raised brow looked too fake and rehearsed. How did I think them of as genuine reactions?' Isshiki's frown deepened at those thoughts.
'This human is tricky like the human who manipulated that wench Kaguya.'
"Human what is your name?" Isshiki asked indirectly giving Ryoichi a form of respect only reserved to high members of his celestial clan.
"My name? Ryoichi. Senju Ryoichi." Isshiki nodded to his name.
"Senju Ryoichi what do you think of joining me? I can give knowledge and power far beyond what you can collect in your pitiful lifespan." He offered, thinking of Ryoichi's value higher than that of a vessel.
"A tempting offer I would have accepted, I admit. If not for that?" Isshiki looked towards the direction Ryoichi pointed and saw one of the masked men carrying the body of one of Kara's many test subjects.
"You want to reject my offer for that? Is it perhaps she belongs to your clan?" Isshiki questioned getting a smile that made him slightly uneasy.
"If she was just a member of my clan I would have accepted your offer. I admit but She. Is. Not. A. Mere. Member. She's my mother." Isshiki almost snorted but stopped when saw those emotionless flashing with fury, daring him to speak what he was about to.
'How DARE YOU, HUMAN!!!' Isshiki shouted inwardly. His anger flared not at the insolent human but at himself for getting intimidated and almost thinking of not speaking his mind.
"For an intelligent human, you are quite emotional. It's disappointing." Isshiki spoke, hiding his anger behind his passive face unknown to anyone, or so he thought.
"Something I expected a Parasite to not understand. I'm not disappointed." Isshiki's passive face finally broke at those mocking words and at the arrogance oozing off of Ryoichi.
'He doesn't put me in his eyes.' Isshiki thought and that finally broke the camel.
"Fine, if you don't want to live, it's okay. Dead or alive you will be useful either way." He said as he stood from the makeshift throne and opened his Doujutsu.
Isshiki prepared to put Ryochi out of his misery only to see him shake his head.
"It would have been hard if you had resurrected yourself but since you haven't, we don't breathe in the same dimension." That was the last word Isshiki heard Ryoichi speak as the masked man surrounding them both slammed their hands on the ground, trapping Ryoichi with him.
Isshiki looked at Ryoichi and asked in a condescending voice.
"Is that your genius move, trapping yourself with me and cutting your retreat? Not that you would be able to." Isshiki said aiming to rile Ryoichi but it didn't work. Ryoichi just raised his palm at Isshiki as the green sphere materialised and expanded towards him.
Isshiki snorted at the stupidity, he used his Karma to absorb the Chakra behind the attack but just as he did a tyrannical will inside the Nature energy he felt beside the Chakra broke out in his body.
He quickly tried to expel the absorbed energy but before he could the sphere engulfed him, and in there his body and thoughts froze.

Ryoichi shrunk the sphere and looked at the frozen body of Jigen.
'Time Manipulation really is a cheat without something like Reality Manipulation challenging it' he thought as he made another Chrono Stasis sphere and sent it inside the one trapping Jigen.
He covered Jigen's unique Doujutsu with the second sphere then started to speed up the time inside.
In a second tens of thousands of years passed, and Jigen's once-powerful body whitered and looked-like corpse, another second passed and by then Jigen's body was noting but ash. The next second the ashes also disappeared leaving behind only his Doujutsu that was saved in the second sphere.
Ryoichi caught the eyes and placed them in a glass container filled with preservative chemicals.
He then turned around ignoring the revering looks of his subordinates.
"Scan every corner of the dimensions, leave nothing untouched. And Mirai find every gate leading to the Elemental nations besides the one we used to enter." Ryoichi ordered as he disappeared to where he sensed Shinju tree.
""HAI, MAISTER!!!"" His subordinates acknowledged the order and dispersed in the shadows leaving behind a room filled with corpses.
