~The broken otsutsuki~

chapter 15

Jigen closed his eyes. "Whats with this girl. Does she really not know anything about it?" He thought. "I do happen to know why they were sent here and yes, it relates to 10tails devouring you" he said. "Could you tell me about it?" She asked. "Unbelieveable" isshiki thought. "Well sure. Since you asked so nicely" he replied.

"As I said before, for countless eons the Otsutsuki clan have been travelling throughout dimensions. They do it for seeking out worlds to plant ten tails saplings to". Solana nodded and kept listening. "Once planted, it grows into a god tree with its roots spreading across the planet to siphon chakra and genetic material from all its surroundings and inhabitants. it will bear a large fruit for the Otsutsuki to consume in order for them to evolve, gaining power and longevity"

"Whats chakra?" She asked. Jigen looked at her. "How truly disappointing" isshiki thought. "Once harvested, they no longer need the planet so they move to another to repeat the process". Solana gave a quiet pout at the fact he completely ignored her question and he gave a small laugh to that. "So impatient" he mumbled.

"In order for the Ten-Tails seeds to bloom into a God Tree, a living Otsutsuki must be fed to him" he said. Solana eyes slightly widened. "The clan members travel in pairs, with the lower ranking being the sacrifice, while the other one watches over the fruit's cultivation. But you wernt with anyone which is very uncommon" he said.

"Your question about why the two otsutsuki were sent here and if it relates to you being eaten by 10tails. Everything I just said should answer that" he said. Solana looked at her hands that rested in her lap. Now all her curiosity about the otsutsuki is gone. "As for your question about what chakra is. Think of it as a special energy" he said.

She nodded again still not looking at him. She was going over everything he just told her. It was alot to take in. "You know so much about this jigen. I'm ashamed for not knowing any of that considering I'm part of the clan" she said. He didnt say anything and continued looking at her.

"The otsutsuki clan. Theyve traveled the universe for eons.. and basically created the 10tails. All just to become god like. But I dont get it. It sounds like there already gods so-" Solana gasped and her eyes widened. A big realization hit her. One that no matter how she looked at it she cant understand.

Jigen noticed her sudden action. The room fell quiet as neither of them said anything. Just him staring at Solana who eyes were still widened staring at her hands. She couldn't believe she just now noticed this. Moments later she closed her eyes and relaxed. Jigen continued to stare at her in silence.

Solana then looked up. "Jigen. Would you help me understand something?" She asked. "Depends" he blankly replied. "The otsutsuki has been traveling for eons and they basically created the 10tails" she calmy said. "Where is she going with this?" Isshiki thought.

"Get to the point" Jigen demanded in a serious tone. Solana nervously looked at him. "I just don't understand..why you a human is trying to accomplish an otsutsuki's job" she said. After that the room fell quiet once again. Solana nervously stared at jigen who stared back with a straight face. Mintues later jigen closed his eyes and smirked then started quietly laughing. Solana eyes widened at that. "It seems I've said too much" he thought then rested his cheek on the back of his palm.

He looked at Solana to find him cautiously staring at him. "I wasnt expecting that" Isshiki thought. But he remained calm and knew exactly how to handle this. "Solana. If you keep asking these absurd questions the next few years is gonna be a pain" he said. The girl eyes widened. He did in fact know how to handle this.

It was the last thing he wanted but didnt really have a choice. He had to distract her from that topic with something he knew she'd be intrested with. It was either this, telling her about himself, or simply killing her now that she questioned that. But he obviously isnt revealing himself to her and things wouldnt be so interesting anymore if he did kill her before 10tails did.

After all isshiki was acually starting to enjoy the otsutsukis company. They shared good conversations he hadn't had with anyone else and shes the only person he acually dosnt mind being around. She even managed to make him laugh. He feels now that shes around things wouldnt such a bore. At least up until her death.

Jigen stared at Solana who still stared at him shocked. "The next few years...what do you mean?" She asked. "It appears it's going to be a while before I can acually claim my vessel. My guess is 4 years. Meaning-" "I get to live longer" solana said inturupting him. Jigen stared as she softened her eyes and they started watering. "I still have time" she thought.

He watched as tears fell from her face. "You should rejoice at a time like this yet your crying. I do not understand you" he said. "Well. Now you'll have plenty of time to try and understand" she said. "Oh? That sounds like it will take quite a while" He stated which received a smile from her. Jigen closed his eyes. As she watched him something crossed her mind.

"Jigen. Do you like being around me?" She hesitantly asked. "What makes you say that?" He responded. "Do you always fall asleep near someone you didnt like being around?" She asked. He opened his eyes and glanced at her. "You've gotten comfortable with speaking your mind. You wernt like that at all a few weeks ago" he blankly said. Solana laughed. "Yes that's true. I was careful on what to say to you out of fear. But as time passed youve opened up to me a lot".

He continued staring at her. "Now that I'll be here alot longer i shouldnt be so fearful of what to say to you" she said. Jigen didnt say anything and just looked down. Moments later she laid down on her back. "I still can't leave this room can I?" She asked. He looked back at her.

"What a stupid question you know the answer to" he replied. Solana closed her eyes. "Why dont you leave with me. I dont have the power to run from you and sitting in this room for the next few years dosnt sound interesting" she said. He continued staring at her.

"Where would you even want to go. Theres nowhere interesting around here" he said. She thought for about it moment. "Lately I've been wanting to eat something". She then turned on her side with her back facing him. "I think all this information made me tierd" she quietly said. Jigen stared at her then closed his eyes. "I see" he said as he got up and left the room.
