Time flew by, and three years passed. Ryun waited on the Star of Yoshiki until he was almost bored out of his mind, but he never did manage to wait for the arrival of that Ōtsutsuki clan leader. He did not even get a single Six Paths level lackey...
The distance between them was still too vast. Across the vast starry sky, if there really was friction and they wanted to deal with someone, it would require waiting for a long, long time.
Ryun did not manage to wait for the Ōtsutsuki clan's retaliation. However, the ninja world welcomed an uninvited guest.
Village of Heaven.
The originally calm Village of Heaven suddenly became tense one day. The Eye of Heaven system from the moon sent back an urgent message. Someone was approaching from the direction of the Ōtsutsuki clan. Moreover, the other party possessed the Byakugan. It could basically be confirmed that it was undoubtedly an Ōtsutsuki.
During this weakened period when many of the Village of Heaven's top experts were away, the appearance of such an Ōtsutsuki would certainly cause panic and confusion for many. This news was also immediately delivered to the Shadow Mansion.
The Ittō Bunshin Ryun took this news very seriously. He personally went to the moon and used an astronomical telescope to observe the incoming person.
However, when he saw the enemy's face, his originally slightly tense heart immediately relaxed.
The person coming was Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, just a small fry...
"Probably sent here to gather intelligence. But now that his tail has been caught, it won't be so easy for him to hide anymore." Ryun said with a low laugh.
The combination of the Hyūga's Byakugan and the constantly upgraded, precise astronomical telescope, in terms of visual range alone, could see farther than his own Nine Tomoe Rinnegan. Coupled with round-the-clock uninterrupted monitoring, it was almost impossible for the Ōtsutsuki clan to secretly approach the ninja world.
"How is it? Is the enemy strong? Can we handle it?" Kushina asked nervously, one question after another.
When the Ōtsutsuki hadn't come, this redhead thought Ryun was lying to her. She felt that being deep in the rear there couldn't be any danger. The so-called 'the ninja world needs her alone to protect it' was completely baseless nonsense.
For this, she had complained about Ryun quite a bit.
But now that an Ōtsutsuki had really come, Kushina knew that she and a clone shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting billions of lives and their homeland. She couldn't help but tremble with nervousness.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to defeat the enemy. She was even more afraid of messing up Ryun's important matters.
"What are you shaking for? What are you panicking for?"
"Didn't you say I was lying to you? Didn't you say you were really good at fighting? The person hasn't even arrived yet and you're starting to panic?" Ryun couldn't help but tease her.
Because the person coming was Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, Ryun didn't take him seriously at all. So, he felt like teasing the redhead.
"I... I'm not shaking. I'm not panicking. I'm excited, okay. I'll fight one Ōtsutsuki if he comes, and beat up a pair if two come."
As she spoke, Kushina didn't forget to clench her iron fist, showing Ryun her strength. However, the口头禅 'Dattebane' that came out when she was nervous betrayed her true feelings.
"Is that so? In that case, then this enemy will be left to you to deal with. Perfect chance to let me see how good you are at fighting." Ryun looked at her with a smile.
"Of course. Since only one Ōtsutsuki came, of course I should deal with him. Do you expect a clone to do it?" Kushina said stubbornly, putting on a brave face.
Seeing the redhead clearly nervous but still trying to act tough, Ryun couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. "Don't come begging to me, this clone, if you can't beat him later. This time, the person coming is very powerful."
"Very powerful. That suits me just fine." Kushina said with a forced smile.
"Admirable courage. The arduous task of killing the invading enemy and protecting the world is entrusted to you." Ryun applauded with little claps.
"Don't... Don't worry."
Two days later.
On this day, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki stealthily approached the vicinity of the moon, only to be cornered by Ryun and his wife, who had been hiding there all along.
"Your clan really doesn't take your life seriously at all, sending you alone to die like this." Looking at the horrified Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, Ryun said with a laugh.
"You... you knew I was coming?"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki still thought he had hidden his presence very well. Little did he know the Eye of Heaven system had discovered him long ago.
"Of course. We've been waiting for you for two days now."
As soon as Ryun said this, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's face instantly turned pale. The clan had said this place was dangerous and told Urashiki to be extremely careful. But he never expected that as soon as he arrived, he would be blocked by two enemies who looked very strong.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki originally wanted to use 'Kūkan e no Tobira' to escape. However, Kushina kicked him away with lightning speed in the next instant.
Ryun also took the opportunity to throw Flying Thunder God special kunai in all directions.
"Barrier, Eight Directions Divine Sealing Array."
As the chakra on the Flying Thunder God kunai was fully released, golden barrier walls erected instantly. He alone used the powerful barrier that required eight Kage-level experts to combine their efforts to perform.
A huge golden cage sealed the three of them inside. At the same time, space was completely sealed at this moment. Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's spatial abilities were directly rendered useless.
"Wife, it's up to you now."
Ryun turned his gaze to Kushina.
"Don't interfere. I'll handle this alone." Kushina said confidently, chest puffed out. In her Sage perception, this Ōtsutsuki's chakra was not strong, far weaker than hers. She was fully confident she could defeat the other party.
"Bastards. Sending a woman to deal with me? Who do you bastards think you're looking down on." Seeing no way to escape, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki had no choice but to brace himself and start the fight.
As he spoke, the red chakra fishing line in his hand was suddenly flung out.
However, before the hook could hit its target, Kushina suddenly shot out chakra sealing chains, accurately tangling with the incoming hook.
Both of them pulled back with force almost simultaneously. The fishing line and chains instantly tightened at the same time.
The man and woman fell into a brief contest of strength. However, the stalemate did not last long. The red-faced Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was violently pulled over by the redhead's monstrous strength.
Kushina threw a punch at the now close Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. Ōtsutsuki Urashiki decisively raised a foot to collide with the incoming fist.
In the next second after the collision, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki immediately felt a sharp pain shoot through the sole of his foot. He couldn't help but let out a pained scream.
Not only Ryun and Nanaise knew the Monster Strength Fist, Kushina also knew it, and she was quite proficient at it.
Seeing this scene, Ryun couldn't help but laugh.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's strength was mediocre. In a one-on-one physical fight, he really was no match for Kushina.
After all, after so many years of Sage Art cultivation and receiving power gifts from Ryun, her Uzumaki Sage Body had long since fully awakened. Even within the Six Paths tier, Kushina ranked in the mid-tier. Dealing with an Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was naturally not a problem for her.
