Chapter 348 Final Form
Chapter 348 Final Form
Outside Konoha Village, in a relatively secluded clearing at the edge of a forest.
Urashiki Otsutsuki sat cross-legged on the ground, reaching into the fish basket behind him and pulling out a ball of chakra energy.
He held the ball of chakra in his palm, and after a moment, the unstable chakra energy condensed into a small blue ball the size of a longan, resembling a physical pill.
Pu picked it up and put it in his mouth without hesitation.
"Gurgle."
After taking the pill, the bruises and fist marks on his face faded and disappeared at an astonishing speed, and the minor wounds exposed by the tears in his clothes also healed quickly. His breathing became noticeably more stable and improved.
However, he did not let his guard down. His blue Rinnegan remained activated.
"The troublesome guy... he's finally here."
He suddenly muttered to himself, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
Before he finished speaking, his seated figure suddenly shifted several meters to the left without warning!
At the very instant his body moved away—
"BOOM!!!"
A buzzing Rasengan landed with perfect accuracy where he had been sitting cross-legged! A crater several meters in diameter was blasted into the ground, and soil and rubble mixed with the aftershocks of chakra shot out in all directions!
Urashiki had already used the Rinnegan's abilities to evade this surprise attack from the hidden location! He appeared to be healing, but in reality, he had been maintaining the state of his blue Rinnegan in preparation for this anticipated sneak attack.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!!"
Before the smoke and dust from the Rasengan explosion had even cleared, a series of whooshing sounds, like a sudden storm, followed! Countless shuriken and kunai, fired from all directions at sharp angles, descended upon the area!
However, Urashiki's figure seemed to transform into an intangible shadow amidst the icy light. His dodging movements didn't appear to be extremely swift, yet he always managed to slip through the most unbelievable gaps with the slightest margin, or make the smallest, most efficient tiny displacements to precisely avoid every incoming ninja tool.
The application of the "time rewind" ability. At the moment of the attack, he rewinds a very short time, selects and executes the best evasion route "at this moment" at a "past" point.
"Clang clang clang..." The ninja tools missed their mark and embedded themselves in the ground or trees.
After the last shuriken futilely pierced the soil, Urashiki calmly landed in the center of the clearing and surveyed the now silent woodland.
"Have you had enough fun? You can come out now, don't keep me waiting too long. My things have been stored there long enough, haven't they? Now, can you give them back to me?"
After a brief silence.
Two figures emerged from different directions, one after the other, and stopped at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from Urashiki, forming a subtle pincer movement.
It was Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
"So you failed," Naruto said, looking at the unharmed Urashiki. He wasn't too surprised; in fact, it confirmed his suspicions. "It seems you deliberately leaked your presence to let us find this place."
"In any case," Sasuke stepped forward to stand beside Naruto, "it's time to put an end to this. We can't let you continue to run rampant in this era."
"Reckless behavior? Ha..." Pu Shi laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, his laughter filled with undisguised sarcasm and condescending contempt.
"You inferior creatures, have you been mistaken about something all along? The plowshare is a treasure of my Otsutsuki clan. As for the Nine-Tails... it is also a 'product' created by our clan in the past."
"To seize other people's belongings, to claim creations as one's own, and even to turn around and accuse the owner of 'misbehaving'...aren't you the very ungrateful, arrogant bunch who do it?!"
"drink--!"
At the very end of this tense conversation, Urashiki launched a surprise attack without warning! He suddenly reached into the fish basket behind him again and pulled out a ball of green chakra that he had prepared beforehand.
He forcefully hurled the chakra ball forward onto the ground!
"boom--!!"
The incredibly violent tornado turbulence howled, and the fierce wind pressure instantly enveloped the area where Naruto and Sasuke were located. It not only greatly interfered with their vision and movement, but also had a strong binding and blocking effect, attempting to limit their first wave of counterattack!
Taking advantage of this brief opening, less than a second, Urashiki finally unleashed his true killing move, which he had been preparing all along.
His other hand suddenly shot out, his fingertips pinching a blood-red pill that seemed to flow with flames and a violent will!
Nine-Tails Chakra Elixir! It was the ultimate "supplement" that he had compressed and refined with all his might during the break from healing, using the enormous Nine-Tails Chakra he had stolen from Kushina!
Without hesitation, he stuffed the crimson pill into his mouth and swallowed it!
"Ugh—!!!"
An unimaginably vast and scorching chakra instantly filled his body! Urashiki couldn't help but let out a ecstatic roar.
"Oh? Heh heh... Hahahaha!!" Urashiki felt the power within him and couldn't help but burst into wild laughter. "This is... the power of the 'Fox'? It's wonderful! This is the moment I've been waiting for!"
He locked his gaze on Naruto and Sasuke, his voice trembling with power.
"You two...you don't actually think I'd face both of you at the same time without being absolutely certain of victory, do you?!"
This is not over yet!
Under the solemn gazes of Naruto and Sasuke, Urashiki made an even more shocking, even insane, move.
The next moment, he actually stuffed his weapon—the dark red fishing rod—and the fish basket behind him into his mouth at the same time!
It wasn't a symbolic gesture; they were actually gnawing on it!
"Although restoring your eyes will be a bit troublesome... just in case, we absolutely... cannot let any of you leave here alive!"
Finally, the most terrifying scene unfolded.
Urashiki raised his hands, and without hesitation, stabbed his own eyes with his fingers!
"Pfft!"
A faint but eerie sound.
He forcibly plucked the two eerie Rinnegan eyes from their sockets!
Without the slightest hesitation, he stuffed the two eyes, which contained terrifying pupil power and should have been the core of his power, into his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them!
"Gulp."
It was as if the last key was inserted into the lock, and the last fuel was thrown into the furnace.
"boom----!!!"
An indescribable surge of chakra erupted from Urashiki, causing the surrounding air to distort violently, the ground to tremble slightly, and rubble to float up as if defying gravity.
Abandoning his weapons, devouring his own eyes, and reclaiming all "external" power for himself, Urashiki has clearly stopped considering retreat or the aftermath; he has staked everything on this battle.
In front of Urashiki, a portal of light opened, and incomprehensible light and shadow flowed within it. Urashiki's floating body was completely enveloped and swallowed by this light.
When the light from the gate faded and the new form of the Urashiki reappeared, the changes were nothing short of earth-shattering.
His once aesthetically pleasing features had completely vanished. His body had become elongated and inhuman, his skin a bloodless pale white, covered with dark lines.
The most noticeable change is in the head. The comical gray square "horns" that appeared broken on both sides have now transformed into symmetrical bony wings that spread out on both sides of the skull, although the previous damage is still there.
His arms extended out organs resembling wings, which were both decorative and clearly functional for attack or flight.
At this moment, Urashiki was suspended about a foot above the ground, his posture resembling a human-shaped crane, exuding a powerful sense of oppression far exceeding that before.
"As expected... it's like this again?" Uchiha Sasuke stared at Urashiki, who had completed his transformation. "In the end, what you did and what we are going to do remain unchanged."
Although Urashiki's aura was terrifyingly powerful at that moment, Sasuke's eyes showed no wavering or fear. Instead, he slowly drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist.
On the other side, facing the even more terrifying pressure from Urashiki's evolved form, Naruto's gaze became incredibly focused.
"I heard this guy's the 'weakest' of all the 'Otsutsuki'?" he muttered, a warlike smile playing on his lips. "Looks like I'll have to step up my game!"
"boom--!!!"
A dazzling golden light, like the rising sun, enveloped his entire body in an instant as the Nine-Tails' chakra enveloped him.
Urashiki, having completed his final evolution, slowly lowered his head. "...Alright."
His gaze swept over the two men who were standing ready, and finally landed on Naruto.
"The tailed beast's chakra... we can 'take' it later. Naruto Uzumaki... I was originally going to spare your life... but you asked for it!"
