Chapter 249: Are You Deaf?
Urashiki's eyes transformed back into the red Six Tomoe Rinnegan.
The entrance to Yomotsu Hirasaka opened at an even faster speed.
It seemed better to leave for now.
Just as Adult Sasuke was about to repeat his old trick, Urashiki pulled a clump of Chakra out of his fish basket.
"Go!"
Urashiki gave a low shout and violently hurled the chaotic ball of Chakra towards Sasuke's direction.
The purpose of this ball of light wasn't to attack, but to interfere.
As it flew, the Chakra ball expanded and twisted violently, emitting a blinding light and chaotic energy fluctuations, like a miniature sun suddenly exploding in Sasuke's field of vision.
The intense light pollution and energy interference instantly blocked Adult Sasuke's vision.
Sasuke had no choice but to temporarily close his left eye or look away, and the activation of Amenotejikara was forcibly interrupted.
"Now!"
Urashiki felt a sense of relief and leaned forward slightly, about to rush into the Yomotsu Hirasaka entrance that had already expanded enough to accommodate him.
Flying Thunder God!
A golden light lit up beside Urashiki without any warning!
Naruto's figure appeared out of thin air, yet he carried the momentum of a thousand tons.
Before even fully stabilizing his posture, the wooden sword in his hand, wrapped in extremely compressed Wind Release Chakra, tore through the air with a ghostly wail and slashed horizontally at Urashiki's waist!
The speed was at its absolute limit!
"I said the battle has just begun..."
Naruto's voice coldly pierced through the slight hum brought by the spatial jump, clearly reaching Urashiki's ears with an unquestionable, hunter-like pressure.
"Are you deaf?"
Urashiki's heart almost jumped out of his chest!
He was horrified to find that his proud reaction speed actually couldn't keep up at this moment!
Urashiki's combat had always relied on raw power and stats; his actual combat experience was very poor.
Or rather, apart from Momoshiki and Isshiki, few members of the Otsutsuki clan possessed rich combat experience.
The Time Rewind ability activated, and time returned to two seconds ago.
This time, Urashiki immediately transformed into paper cranes and entered Yomotsu Hirasaka right after opening it.
Naruto's Flying Thunder God Technique failed to activate.
"In your southeast direction, about four hundred meters away!"
Sasuke's voice was hoarse.
"His 'gate'... will open there!"
His Rinnegan, despite its poor condition, still captured the extremely subtle coordinate 'ripples' left in the spatial layers when Urashiki ducked into Yomotsu Hirasaka, and predicted his possible exit location.
More blood and tears flowed down Adult Sasuke's face.
His Ocular Power had not fully recovered after traveling through time, and using the Rinnegan's abilities with such high intensity—especially continuously activating Amenotejikara and spatial tracking—was a huge burden on him.
Having received Adult Sasuke's warning, Naruto didn't hesitate for a moment.
His Chakra instantly surged like a tide toward the location four hundred meters to the southeast.
At almost the same time Sasuke's words fell.
In that area, a seemingly ordinary two-story wooden house suddenly 'came alive'!
Rumble!
The foundation cracked, and the entire structure of the house made a tooth-grinding twisting sound.
Countless planks and wood chips flew and condensed; in an instant, the entire house transformed into a ferocious and majestic Wood Dragon.
The dragon's head was lifelike, its fangs bared, and its massive body coiled on the ground, ready to strike.
The current Hidden Leaf Village was entirely built by Naruto using Wood Release, so he naturally controlled it with ease.
With Kurama's Chakra supply plus Naruto's own Chakra, he wasn't afraid of running out of Chakra during battle.
Just as the Wood Dragon took shape, the space in front of it twisted.
Rip!
A black rift, the exit of Yomotsu Hirasaka, tore open there with the precision of a rehearsed performance!
Having just escaped from the spatial layer and thinking he was temporarily safe, Urashiki had just poked half his body out of the black rift when he was met not with the expected emptiness or chaos, but a rapidly expanding, toothy maw made of hard wooden pillars!
"What?"
Urashiki was shocked; he hadn't expected such a 'welcome ceremony' at the exit.
His Rinnegan didn't even have time to fully adjust to the slight lag brought by the spatial transition.
The Wood Dragon opened its mouth, and with the weight of a thousand tons, its massive head snapped shut, ruthlessly swallowing the newly appeared Urashiki along with the not-yet-closed spatial rift entrance!
Crack!
Thud!
The heart-stopping sound of wood being squeezed and shattered rang out.
At the Wood Dragon's closed maw, wood chips flew everywhere, and the entire dragon head vibrated violently, clearly enduring a massive impact from within.
However, Urashiki was an Otsutsuki after all.
"Break for me!!!"
A furious roar filled with shock and anger exploded from inside the Wood Dragon!
Boom!!!
Half of the Wood Dragon's head suddenly exploded, and countless shattered wooden blocks flew in all directions like cannonballs.
Covered in wood chips and with his clothes in disarray, Urashiki, surrounded by a violent aura of Chakra, soared into the sky from the shattered dragon head like a cannonball!
His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with fury at being outmaneuvered and ambushed.
But at that most awkward moment when he had broken through the Wood Dragon and soared into the air—his old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated, unable to find any leverage.
A golden light, following him like a shadow, lit up by his side.
Naruto's figure seemed to have been waiting there all along.
In reality, he had arrived instantly via the Flying Thunder God Mark branded on Urashiki's wrist!
The wooden sword, imbued with Wind Release and carrying cold killing intent, had already slashed toward Urashiki's neck.
The timing was so clever and the transition so smooth that it seemed as if Urashiki's action of breaking through the dragon was only to deliver himself under Naruto's blade!
"Damn it!"
Urashiki roared inwardly in madness, a chill rushing straight to the top of his head.
Although the opponent's attack was infused with Chakra, Urashiki couldn't absorb it!
His ability to absorb Chakra was nowhere near as convenient or efficient as Momoshiki's.
In other words, although he could also absorb Chakra, the startup time was massive and he couldn't do it on reaction; he could only predict it in advance.
Facing Naruto's tactics—where power and speed surged after opening the Eight Gates, combined with the elusive Flying Thunder God for extreme fast attacks—he could hardly find the startup time or gap to activate his absorption ability.
"This guy!"
Naruto's attacks were like a torrential rain, never stopping, each strike accurately hitting the breaks in his rhythm, forcing him into hasty dodges or passive defense.
If not for the superior dynamic vision granted by the Rinnegan and the margin for error provided by Time Rewind, he probably wouldn't even be able to see Naruto's movements clearly, let alone make an effective response.
Why was this guy so troublesome as a child?
The Future Fox wasn't even this troublesome.
If I had known, it would have been better to launch a sneak attack on him in the future timeline!
