"Hmm?"
Urashiki, in his bird-man form, hovered in mid-air, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a look of surprise and uncertainty for the first time.
This brat in front of him was not right, very not right.
Almost instinctively, Urashiki flapped his wings violently, his body rapidly ascending, once again widening the distance between himself and Satoshi, attempting to regain control of the battle rhythm.
Urashiki couldn't fathom who he was truly facing now.
His mind raced as he stared intently at the figure below whose aura was steadily climbing.
"Just what… are you?"
Satoshi momentarily became speechless, how was he supposed to answer that?
He inherited the essence of Tobirama's elusive space-time Ninjutsu.
He could instantly activate a flawless Sage Mode, with natural energy at his beck and call.
He possessed a pair of Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
Within him lay the primal power of Yin-Yang Release from the Sage of Six Paths.
He was even Kaguya's landlord, capable of forcibly wielding her power.
And if he couldn't win, he could always summon the Great Toad Sage, who had lived for over a thousand years, to fight.
This was the ultimate cheat, Satoshi, who combined the Ninja World's peak inheritances and forbidden powers.
"Tsk, what a pain in the ass."
Urashiki cursed inwardly, his face devoid of any of the previous cat-and-mouse composure, replaced only by the frustration and ruthlessness of being cornered.
"This is as far as you go, bug."
"Amenosubaruboshinomikoto: Ryūgū!"
He roared, pushing his palms forward forcefully.
A suffocatingly vast purplish-black Chakra spewed forth, instantly transforming into a terrifying giant serpent that blotted out the sky.
The giant serpent opened its abyssal maw, and a destructive, concentrated Chakra orb rapidly spun within it, emitting terrifying fluctuations that could even distort space. Its target was Satoshi below.
Boom... Boom...
Several destructive purplish-black Chakra beams, like a divine punishment, violently erupted from the giant serpent's mouth, instantly engulfing the airspace where Satoshi was located.
The deafening roar of explosions and blinding light swallowed everything.
However, as the light dispersed, Urashiki's pupils constricted.
Satoshi's figure weaved and dodged within the energy torrent capable of destroying mountains, moving so fast that he left trails of afterimages. He easily avoided the attacks capable of tearing space apart.
"Now!"
Satoshi's eyes flashed, and his hands instantly clasped together.
Sage Art: Water Release: Water Dragon Jutsu!
A Water Dragon, even larger than the giant serpent summoned by Urashiki, burst forth.
The Water Dragon was wreathed in solidified natural energy, its roar shaking the surroundings, as it fiercely collided with the giant serpent in the sky.
At the same time, Satoshi's Six-Tomoe Rinnegan suddenly lit up.
Shinra Tensei!
Buzz!
A terrifying repulsive force that pushed away all matter erupted from Satoshi, acting upon the massive body of the giant serpent.
Rumble!
With the Water Dragon and Shinra Tensei's repulsive force attacking from both inside and out, the giant serpent was squeezed as if by two invisible mountains.
It let out a mournful cry of being overwhelmed. Then, it was instantly torn apart, turning into a sky full of purplish-black Chakra fragments, scattering everywhere.
"Kaguya, let's go!"
Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists!
Urashiki was horrified to see a blurry phantom suddenly appear behind Satoshi—it was Kaguya.
Countless giant fists, like a torrential rain, erupted from the phantom, instantly filling Urashiki's entire vision.
"How is this possible?!"
Urashiki's horror reached its peak, he simply couldn't believe his eyes. Kaguya had not only failed to seize the power of this vessel but had instead become like a domesticated power bank.
Under the command of this inferior being, she launched the Ōtsutsuki clan's Taijutsu against him.
Facing the overwhelming Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists, Urashiki desperately flapped his wings, trying to escape this deadly rain of fists. But Satoshi's offensive was like an unending tide.
Taking advantage of Urashiki's desperate evasion and disarray caused by the Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists, Satoshi performed an incredible aerial slide and turn.
The Six Paths Staff in his hand, infused with the power of Yin-Yang Release, instantly transformed into a jet-black blade wreathed in Six Paths Power.
Sage Art and ordinary Ninjutsu had limited effect on Otsutsuki, only Taijutsu attacks containing Six Paths Power could inflict true damage.
Flying Thunder God Slash!
Pfft!
The jet-black sword was like lightning tearing through space.
Urashiki only felt a blur before his eyes and a sharp pain in his chest.
Looking down, he saw that a blood-soaked hole, front to back, had appeared. He hadn't even seen how the sword had arrived.
"Slash again!"
Pfft!
The second slash followed closely, precisely piercing Urashiki's lower abdomen, the intense pain blurring his vision.
"Slash repeatedly!"
Pfft... Pfft... Pfft...
Satoshi's figure transformed into a true storm of death, the jet-black sword weaving a lethal net around him.
The dense sound of blades entering flesh was sickening. Urashiki's bird-man form instantly became a tattered rag doll.
The most tragic were his white wings, which he relied on for flight. They were brutally hacked off by the jet-black blade infused with Six Paths Power.
Excruciating pain swept through Urashiki's entire body. His body trembled uncontrollably, no longer able to maintain flight, and he plummeted towards the ground.
"Wh-why?"
Urashiki crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, his face filled with horror.
His Rinnegan was still there, but the dojutsu he was proud of had completely lost its responsiveness.
"How am I supposed to fight?! Damn it!"
"Despicable inferior creature, how dare you steal the noble power of the Ōtsutsuki clan?! I will never forgive you!"
Urashiki endured the intense pain, trying to infuse Chakra to heal his shredded wings. However, under the erosion of Six Paths Power, everything was futile.
"That blade! That's no ordinary blade!"
Only then did Urashiki realize that the jet-black blade was not on the same level as the Murasame that had ambushed him earlier.
Urashiki, who had intended to stall for time, no longer had any thought of fighting. He just wanted to run away quickly.
This incredibly troublesome inferior creature should be left to Momoshiki and Kinshiki, those two idiots, to deal with. Let them also taste the power of this monster.
Urashiki kicked out a black rod, shooting it straight at Satoshi's face. While Satoshi dodged, he once again used his life-saving ocular jutsu.
Yomotsu Hirasaka, the ultimate space-time jutsu, opened a black portal out of thin air, allowing him to travel between different dimensions.
"Hmph, farewell, brat. Next time we meet... huh?"
His smile froze on his face.
The portal was clearly right in front of him, less than a few centimeters away. However, these few short centimeters were like an unbridgeable chasm.
A powerful and despair-inducing spatial anchoring force had him firmly pinned to the spot.
Forget jumping into the portal, he couldn't even move a muscle.
Takemikazuchi!
[Strength is related to ocular power and the opponent's strength.]
Now, Satoshi's ocular power was at its absolute maximum.
Dealing with a scout like Urashiki was like child's play.
Enemies from the sky?
He was invincible in the sky too.
Satoshi raised his right hand, and a grayish-white bone spike slowly grew from his palm. "Goodbye, despicable invader."
All-Killing Ash Bones!
"No!"
The All-Killing Ash Bones pierced Urashiki's chest without any hindrance.
"Ugh, you…"
Urashiki felt the pierced area rapidly disintegrate. This irresistible sense of demise plunged him into unprecedented fear.
"Damn it! If you dare to kill me, my clansmen will not let…"
Bang!
A second All-Killing Ash Bones pierced his throat.
"So much nonsense."
Satoshi's figure flickered, instantly appearing before Urashiki, whose body was rapidly disintegrating and vanishing.
Before the Rinnegan, which contained vast ocular power, could dissipate with Urashiki's body, Satoshi acted quickly.
Pfft.
The Rinnegan was firmly clasped in Satoshi's hand.
"Who should I give this to?"
