1 New World and Shinshiki Otsutsuki.
3RD POV
In a dark void, a glowing purple orb, a soul, drifted aimlessly, unable to comprehend the vast emptiness that surrounded it.
Suddenly, the soul surged with energy and disappeared like something had pushed it, hurtling through space at a speed beyond imagination. It traveled past celestial bodies and galaxies until it approached a small blue dot, the Earth.
As it crashed onto Earth, the soul merged with a dying teenager's body, sparking a fierce battle for control. The intruder, fueled by determination, began to overpower the original soul.
Markings resembling tattoos started to appear on the child's skin, extending from a diamond-shaped mark on the hand to the forehead. These markings aided the intruder in its mission to consume the original soul.
The original's memories flooded its consciousness, showing its history of experimentation, abandonment, and further tests using its cells. It experienced the agony of being confined in a tube filled with a mysterious liquid.
Desperately seeking assistance, the intruder located a tiny, shrunken soul within the host. This parasitic soul was destined to take over the body, but the intruder resisted, engaging in a fierce battle.
After a long and grueling fight, the intruder emerged victorious, absorbing the soul and gaining nearly a thousand years of battle experience and some fragmented memories.
With newfound strength, it transformed into an experienced warrior, infused with the power of Otsutsuki Urashiki.
External changes accompanied this transformation. His bald head sprouted spiky, greyish-blue hair down to the shoulders. Grey horns protruded from the back, encircling the forehead with a small gap between them.
The boy's pale, white eyes opened, revealing a Byakugan—an all-seeing eye that allowed him to perceive the world within a ten-kilometer radius, for now. He hovered ten meters above the ground, covered in mud and wearing tattered rags.
Acting on instinct, the boy activated his Dojutsu and used it to locate a nearby river. With newfound abilities, he teleported to the water's edge, bewildering himself with this newfound power.
Submerging into the pond, he cleansed himself and his clothing, the kimono which was covered in mud and dust, he cleaned it in the river, he knew he couldn't keep this clothes for long, realizing his need for new attire, he contemplated his next steps—to discover his location and purpose.
Drawing upon his powers, he conjured a fire release to warm himself, utilizing the Karma mark left by Urashiki to absorb its energy.
Examining the mark on his left hand, Urashiki Otsutsuki had inscribed the Karma there, a means for Urashiki to seize control once it finished extracting the data within, though that will never happen, now that he had killed the soul.
His name was Shin, once a test subject of Orochimaru, whom the snake had exploited and subsequently discarded when his body proved worthless.
"I shall call myself Otsutsuki Shinshiki," he whispered, gazing at the heavens. Once more, with Otsutsuki pride swelling within, he affirmed, "Yes, starting today, I am Otsutsuki Shinshiki!"
Activating his Karma Mark, he levitated above the ground, awed by the incredible muscle memory that transformed him from a novice into an experienced warrior in mere moments.
Gazing at his new form, he beheld a sixteen-year-old youth with an ethereal visage. His skin was porcelain pale, his eyes a hauntingly light shade, and his hair cascaded in a silky white curtain down to his shoulders.
Yet beneath this seemingly delicate exterior lay a reservoir of boundless might, capable of pulverizing the surrounding area with a single punch.
With his impeccable chakra control, and his chakra sense, he could sense nine enormous chakra from various places around the planet, one was particularly weak.
Because he did not have the full strength of the Otsutsuki that gave him karma, he decided to fly towards the weak one first and harvest the chakra from it.
As he soared through the skies, he experienced the resistance of the air pushing against him. With his adept chakra manipulation, he crafted a delicate barrier enveloping his body, allowing the air pressure to divert around him.
His body transformed into a determined projectile, homing in relentlessly on his intended target.
In a matter of minutes, he traversed halfway across the world, only coming to a halt once he reached the location where his target rested.
His presence remained concealed, as he had earlier erased his chakra signature, rendering him invisible to his target's senses.
Silently descending onto the river's shore, he found his target enveloped in a thick, concealing mist, in fact the entire river shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see more than a few meters ahead.
Raising his hand and stretching it in front of him, the chakra mist began to get sucked into the Karma seal on his palm, causing the mist's density to decrease rapidly. This action must have also alerted his target to his presence.
A deep growl emanated from the rapidly decreasing mist, resembling the furious roar of a beast angered by the intrusion.
"Who is the ignorant plebeian that dares to intrude my territory!" It roared furiously as it raised its turtle head, still somewhat covered in mist, even after absorbing a lot of chakra-turned mist, it still wasn't enough to fully dissipate it.
"Oh, so the beast can speak," the voice rang out, somewhat deep and smooth. The beast looked behind him, unable to hide his surprise. A human? And one who could hide his chakra? This was unheard of.
Standing on the river, which was a blatantly disrespectful act towards the three-tailed beast with its enormous and dense chakra, was the mysterious figure.
Feeling uneasy, the beast opened its mouth and began gathering chakra. A massive amount of chakra condensed and took the form of a spherical bomb of destruction.
With a deafening roar, it fired the small Tailed Beast Bomb towards the intruder. To the beast, this was just another human attempting to capture and seal it inside yet another human cage once again.
It was a massive shock for the beast when it witnessed the human stretch out his left hand and effortlessly begin absorbing the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Confirming what it saw, the beast decided to take action. With an enormous display of power, it lifted its tail and struck down forcefully upon the pale human.
Unable to feel the impact of its tail connecting with the human, the beast was puzzled but sensed something standing on its tail. Realizing the human's incredible speed, it prepared to release another Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Tch, you vulgar beast." The Otsutsuki disappeared from the beast's view with incredible speed, reappearing before its head and delivering a powerful kick.
The beast felt the force of the kick as its head was pushed into the water, causing it great pain and frustration, The beast struggled to get back on its feet, bewildered by the incredible strength displayed by the human before it. It was a question that echoed in its mind, 'Why is a human this strong?'
"You are no-" Before the beast could finish its question, it was once again engulfed in pain as its chakra was relentlessly absorbed by the mysterious figure before it.
The realization was dawning upon the beast that this intruder was something beyond human.
The Otsutsuki proudly proclaimed, "That's right, I'm not a normal human, I'm the chosen one, the only one," as he continued to absorb the beast's chakra.
The beast could do nothing but writhe in agony as its chakra was drained away. It had never encountered a being like this before, and the fear of its impending doom washed over it as its power continued to dwindle.
"This world is interesting, you see. So I'm going to enjoy it to the fullest before I harvest from it."
That was the only thing the beast, Isobu otherwise known as the Sanbi, could hear before everything went black.
