A few days later.
Bai Mo had resolved the Dragon Vein issue, and the Land of Wind began to recover.
Temari and Gaara did not continue to Konoha with Bai Mo; they had their own mission, which was to clean up the mess after the Land of Wind's Daimyo's death.
On their way back to Sunagakure, Bai Mo and his group encountered a somewhat disheveled Sasori.
This brings us back to Bai Mo's previous 'speak your mind' theory.
Sasori was clearly an introverted, even somewhat sullen person.
After receiving Bai Mo's mission to assassinate the Land of Wind's Daimyo, he outwardly claimed it was 'boring,' but in reality, he took the mission very seriously.
He absolutely could not accept failure on a mission with no difficulty.
What was the result?
He controlled his puppets to rampage through the Daimyo's Mansion, only to discover that the Daimyo wasn't there.
Crucially, he had killed everyone and left no one to question.
Sasori could only search on his own.
As for reporting to Bai Mo that he had spent half a day killing without finding the Daimyo? Sasori couldn't bear that humiliation.
Sasori continued to search, holding back his frustration.
If he hadn't coincidentally run into Bai Mo's group, it's unknown how long Sasori would have searched in the Land of Wind.
After all, the Land of Wind's Daimyo and his group had been incinerated by the Solar Disk.
Aside from the few involved, to everyone else, they were at most considered missing.
In short, the matters in the Land of Wind were concluded.
Bai Mo and his group returned to the Land of Fire.
Yes, including those who were Edo Tensei'd.
According to new intelligence collected by White Zetsu, they learned of Jiraiya's movements and the news of Asuma's death.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, upon hearing this, could only continue to blame himself silently.
Besides those who followed Bai Mo from the Dragon Vein, Itachi Uchiha, who was stationed with Kisame in the Land of Waves, was also summoned by Bai Mo, along with a special guest: Black Zetsu, who also rushed over from Hidden Rain Village.
It would be a great pity if Itachi Uchiha wasn't present to witness what was about to happen next.
As for Black Zetsu, this was equivalent to letting him completely confirm the matters of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
The group huddled in a temporary base.
Senju Hashirama was forced to learn Wood Release to build a house.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, used the Telescope Jutsu to monitor the surrounding movements.
Finally.
As Sasuke led the four children, 'two people and two pills', to train in the forest, and Jiraiya was scouting nearby, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air.
It appeared so abruptly, as if it were a monster spawned from a Monster Spawner.
A pair of Byakugan, pale skin, overall grey and white attire, and a bright red fishing rod in his hand.
"Is this an Ōtsutsuki? To be able to stand in mid-air without any support."
Tobirama arrived first, pushing aside the Third Hokage who was in front, his gaze fixed on the image from the Telescope Jutsu.
He had to collect as much intelligence as possible quickly.
"That's right, he is the Ōtsutsuki Urashiki I mentioned. The fishing rod in his hand can hook away other people's Chakra."
Bai Mo's voice came from behind.
Everyone rushed to the room after hearing the message from the Third Hokage.
"Haha, Uzumaki Naruto, I finally found you."
Urashiki let out an arrogant laugh, swinging his fishing rod towards Naruto's abdomen.
The fishing rod passed through Naruto's abdomen, and Urashiki pulled on the rod.
"Huh?"
The Fisherman Urashiki successfully came up empty.
Looking at the empty fishhook, Urashiki was stunned.
"It's a Sealing Jutsu."
Sasuke explained to the equally confused Naruto, Boruto, and others beside him.
"Good heavens, that red fishing rod looks creepy, but a Sealing Jutsu can block it?"
Senju Hashirama, watching the live broadcast, grumbled.
"Big Brother, you're too naive. Besides a Jinchuriki, who would place a Chakra sealing technique on themselves? And even if you seal it, you still have to unseal it when you need to use it, and the opponent can still take away Chakra with his fishing rod."
Tobirama analyzed seriously.
Unable to take away his Chakra, Urashiki decided to take Naruto away first.
The fishing line wrapped around Naruto, and he threw out some stones from his fish basket that were not even as hard as Kakashi's Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, blocking the others.
Then, Urashiki, relying on his ability to fly, took Naruto away under everyone's watchful eyes.
Everyone watched this scene in silence.
"Is Sasuke truly the Supporting Shadow in the future?"
Itachi was the first to ask Bai Mo a soul-searching question.
This Supporting Shadow supported nothing.
"Don't worry, it gets even better later."
"Is that so?"
Itachi nodded slightly.
He believed Bai Mo.
He thought Bai Mo meant that future Sasuke deliberately hid his strength and let the opponent go.
As for why, he didn't know.
Jiraiya rushed back at this moment, summoned a Toad to smash the rocks, and the group sat on the Toad's head, beginning their pursuit.
On the other side.
Urashiki discovered the seal on Naruto and decided to break it to directly steal his Chakra.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's Telescope Jutsu was so masterfully used that the First and Second Hokage's gazes towards him changed.
—What in the world was this perverted monkey always peeking at in Konoha?
Fortunately, the impact of the newly appearing scene once again captured everyone's attention.
Urashiki reached into Naruto's abdomen, preparing to plunder the Nine-Tailed Chakra.
"This is bad, Jiraiya and the others are too slow! Urashiki has already started taking Chakra! Don't hide, let's act too, Big Brother, and Bai Mo!"
Tobirama grew anxious upon seeing this scene.
"Ah!"
Urashiki in the scene suddenly let out a scream.
It turned out his hand was scalded by a tiny bit of overflowing Nine-Tailed Chakra, and his hand was directly burned and festered.
"..."
Tobirama fell silent.
Everyone fell silent.
"Is this the strength of the Ōtsutsuki Clan? Then Mother... Ōtsutsuki Kaguya creating White Zetsu to fight them doesn't seem to be a problem."
Black Zetsu, squatting in the corner watching, said faintly.
"Everyone, don't underestimate the Ōtsutsuki. Don't forget, I was instantly killed by Boruto, who was possessed by an Ōtsutsuki!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing everyone's expressions, quickly spoke up.
"So now we suspect you're also a weakling, Monkey."
Hashirama patted Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulder and said earnestly.
Damn it, he was scalded by overflowing Nine-Tailed Chakra, right?
And this was without it even condensing into an attack or a Tailed Beast Ball.
"He seemed to have transformed his Byakugan into a Rinnegan for a period just now, didn't he?"
Nagato also looked faintly at Bai Mo, "Why doesn't he use the Deva Path ability if he has the Rinnegan? Is his Rinnegan different, or does he not want to use it?"
"Don't ask me, just keep watching. Uchiha Sasuke, the strongest combatant in the future Ninja World, is about to arrive. It will surely be an astonishing and breathtaking battle."
Bai Mo spread his hands.
What could he do about it?
He could only say that it was a good thing Momoshiki was still inside Boruto, which could elevate the Ōtsutsuki's prestige a bit.
Otherwise, with Urashiki's track record... after this, everyone would really start to suspect if Bai Mo was trying to use the Ōtsutsuki name to expand his own power and conquer the Ninja World.
