All Hokage in The Chat Group

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki watched Ryan's movements in utter disbelief.

This speed… It's impossible! He thought, his mind reeling. He couldn't even track Ryan's movements with his enhanced perception. Forget counterattacking—he couldn't even aim his Dojutsu at him in time! His reflexes, eyes, or body won't react in time.

Boom!

Ryan struck with full force, delivering a single devastating punch. Kaguya was sent hurtling through the air like a rag doll, her body cutting through the sky as if it were weightless, soaring several kilometers before crashing down.

Even as Kaguya tried to muster a response or launch a technique, the sheer overwhelming pressure of Ryan's power made it impossible. There was simply no room to act. Before Isshiki could process his shock, Ryan's figure appeared beside him in an instant.

Boom!

Another punch connected, this time directly against Isshiki's body. The force was unstoppable.

Isshiki's abilities, derived from his God tree and capable of shrinking non-living objects, were utterly useless against a living opponent. He had no way to counter. Ryan's punch didn't just land—it tore through him, leaving a gaping hole in his torso.

Boom!

Isshiki's body flew backward, crashing to the ground with devastating impact. His form now bore an enormous, gruesome wound at its center.

Kakashi and the rest of the Anbu team, all of whom had been trained by Minato, stood in stunned silence, their eyes wide with awe and disbelief as they watched the scene unfold before them.

Kakashi, unable to tear his gaze away, muttered in awe, "So this... this is Hokage-sama's true strength?"

Yamato, his usually composed demeanor faltering, shook his head in disbelief. "He's finally getting serious... I didn't think any human even Guy had it in him to unleash this kind of punch."

"Unbelievable," whispered one of the Anbu operatives. "He doesn't even need fancy techniques—just raw physical power is enough to utterly dominate them."

Kakashi, having seen countless battles and experienced incredible power himself, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect and awe. "To think… Hokage-sama has been holding back this whole time. His power's on a whole different level."

The spectators couldn't contain their amazement, their voices filled with awe and shock.

Meanwhile, both Isshiki and Kaguya lay crumpled on the ground, broken and barely alive. Their once formidable presences were reduced to pitiable shadows of their former selves.

Isshiki, in particular, was in an extremely dire state, his body on the brink of collapse. Bloodied and battered, he struggled to lift his head and look at Ryan. His face contorted with disbelief, his mind unable to reconcile what had just happened.

How...? Isshiki thought desperately. How could someone with such overwhelming strength exist on this planet? We drained the entire original energy of this world, and on top of that, Ōtsutsuki should have been invincible against anyone using Chakra.

He had always prided himself on his power, yet here he was, utterly defeated, unable to comprehend how everything had unraveled so quickly.

Ryan's strength was built upon countless rewards, each piling atop the other to form an overwhelming power. Compared to him, the might of the Ōtsutsuki clan was insignificant—a mere fraction of what Ryan could wield.

With the Limit Remover and the Saiyan bloodline coursing through his veins, Ryan's power had become monstrous, almost incomprehensible. Like Saitama, his ordinary attacks alone were devastating, capable of obliterating even the strongest foes.

At this moment, Isshiki Ōtsutsuki realized the dire state of his body. It was destroyed beyond repair, while Kaguya's body was beginning to heal slowly. A thought suddenly struck Isshiki.

Kaguya… She consumed the Chakra Fruit of the God tree.

The fruit had made her truly immortal. No matter how grievously she was injured, her body would eventually regenerate and return to its original state. She could not die—not by any conventional means as long she was near this planet.

This was the very reason the Sage of Six Paths had sealed her on the moon rather than killing her. Destroying her was impossible; sealing was the only option.

"It seems I have no choice but to use that technique again!" Isshiki thought grimly.

Suddenly, dark, intricate patterns—resembling a black Madara—appeared on Kaguya's body. Slowly, her form began to dissolve, vanishing piece by piece.

At the same time, Isshiki's own body began to heal rapidly. His wounds regenerated with alarming speed as his form stabilized.

He was absorbing Kaguya.

This was a forbidden power he had developed—a technique that didn't just allow him to control the target's mind but also let him absorb their very being. All of Kaguya's strength and immortality were now becoming his.

Ryan watched the transformation unfold, his eyes sharp but calm. Despite the shift in the battle's dynamic, he didn't panic. Instead, his expression remained steady, unbothered by the display of Isshiki's newfound power.

Let him try, Ryan thought, his confidence unwavering. It won't make a difference.

Ryan observed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's actions with detached interest, a faint smirk playing on his lips. He had no reason to panic. His opponent's strength, no matter how it changed, was simply not enough to threaten him. The gap between their powers was insurmountable.

In his heart, Ryan understood perfectly: even if Isshiki fully absorbed Kaguya's body, the outcome wouldn't change. The combined might of both Isshiki and Kaguya still paled in comparison to Ryan's overwhelming strength. Plus as The True Saiyan warrior, how can I stop anyone from completing their Transformation?

Moments later, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki completed the absorption process, drawing all of Kaguya's power into himself. His body fully healed, his injuries vanishing without a trace.

Standing tall, Isshiki exuded an air of confidence, his pride practically oozing from every pore.

Isshiki's eyes glowed with a mix of rage and amusement as he sneered. "Hmph, how pathetic," he said coldly, his voice dripping with malice. "You think you've won? Do you think you can defeat me so easily? Prepare yourself. You let me absorb Kaguya's body this will be your greatest mistake. I'll make you regret every second of this."

Without warning, Isshiki's figure vanished in an instant.

Kakashi watching the scene unfold with his mangekyou sharingan was alarmed and sweating from the sheer chakra being thrown around.

"That guy has completely changed after devouring his teammate!" Kakashi exclaimed, his voice laced with concern.

Yamato furrowed his brow, watching Isshiki with a mix of confusion and concern. "Kakashi-senpai, after devouring Kaguya… is this guy even still a man? Or is he something else now?"

Kakashi glanced at Yamato, his expression serious. "I don't know, Yamato. But whatever he's become, it's not good. I've never seen someone do anything like this before even in the most absurd novels of Jiraya-sama."

"It's dangerous! Be careful, Hokage-sama!" Yamato cried out, their worry evident.

However, Ryan remained entirely calm, his expression unchanging.

Kakashi and the others don't understand me well enough, Ryan thought. Do they think I'd be troubled by this?

Despite Isshiki's display, Ryan knew better. While the new ability might look impressive, in truth, it was nothing extraordinary. All Isshiki had done was tap into Kaguya's powers—more specifically, her Yomotsu Hirasaka, the ability to move between dimensions.

Ryan's figure vanished as well, mirroring Isshiki's movements. He entered a gray, desolate space, his expression still calm and unyielding.

Let's see where this leads, Ryan thought, his confidence unwavering.

Boom!

The deafening sound of an earth-shattering impact echoed through the space. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, his body crashing hard into the ground.

Ryan stood tall, looming over him with an air of dominance, his piercing gaze fixed on the fallen Isshiki.

"Did you think I wouldn't know how to counter that power?" Ryan asked his tone calm yet laced with disdain. "How utterly ridiculous."

Isshiki's face twisted with horror. He couldn't comprehend how Ryan had mastered Kaguya's abilities as if they were his own. His thoughts raced, but there was no time to dwell on his disbelief.

"Daikokuten!" Isshiki shouted, releasing one of his abilities in desperation.

From a pocket dimension, a torrent of objects began to pour out—massive structures, ancient relics, and countless other things he had collected and stored after shrinking them. Now restored to their full size, they rained down like a storm, crashing into the ground and shrouding the battlefield in chaos.

The towering debris obscured Ryan's line of sight, giving Isshiki a fleeting chance. Wasting no time, Isshiki turned and fled, panic gripping him.

"How... How could this happen?" Isshiki seethed inwardly, his pride scorched. "I am Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and yet I am forced to retreat like this? Fleeing from someone so inferior... this is beneath me!"

The battlefield was engulfed in destruction, with enormous objects scattered across the terrain. But Ryan remained undeterred. His body shimmered as he stepped effortlessly into another dimension.

In an instant, he reappeared behind Isshiki. With a single, devastating punch, he ended it.

Boom!

Isshiki's lifeless body crumpled to the ground, unmoving. Ryan stood over him, his expression calm, almost indifferent. "That's all? I expected more from a combination of two Gods. What a disappointment."

Kakashi and the others, who had been watching from a distance, rushed over, their faces a mix of awe and disbelief.

"Hokage-sama… you're incredible!" Yamato exclaimed.

Ryan waved off their praise with a slight shake of his head. Taking out a sealing scroll, he carefully sealed Isshiki's remains inside. He then handed the scroll to Kakashi.

"Enough with the flattery," Ryan said, his tone sharp but not unkind. "Take this to the scientific research department. Make sure Orochimaru gets his hands on it—I'm sure he'll be very interested in studying the body of a Chakra God who gobbled up a chakra Goddess and possessed her body."

Kakashi nodded solemnly, clutching the scroll as the group dispersed to carry out their tasks. Ryan turned away, his thoughts already moving to the next challenge that lay ahead.
