Chapter 196 – Assault on Konoha
Urashiki begged for mercy in a pitiful state. The terrifying gravitational pull of the darkness consumed him, and he could no longer feel his body—slowly sinking into the void.
"The Ōtsutsuki Clan... they won't let you live...!" he cried in fear.
The golden Rinnegan on his forehead flickered again, but the glow was so faint it didn't even register within Yusuke's Observation Haki.
A few seconds later, Urashiki's body vanished completely—swallowed whole by the darkness.
A surge of lingering energy spread through the area. Yusuke raised his hand and activated the power of the Gura Gura no Mi, absorbing every last trace of it.
"So much power..." Sasuke whispered, staring at the darkness surrounding them, his eyes filled with awe. The others were too stunned to speak—only able to nod in disbelief.
Yusuke didn't pay any attention to their reactions. He calmly walked over to Sasuke and the others.
"It's over. You should head back," he said, his tone even.
"Head back…?" Naruto looked confused.
"We'll have to wait a bit longer," Sasuke responded quietly.
Yusuke nodded without explaining further—then disappeared from sight.
He returned home, and as he stepped into the silence of his sanctuary, he opened his crimson Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. A ripple formed in space, revealing a pocket dimension.
This was his private realm—the same one he had once used to hide Rin. She had fully recovered now and had been relocated to a place no one could ever find.
Yusuke came here for one reason: he hadn't absorbed all of Urashiki's power in front of Sasuke and the others.
There was a certain kind of energy Urashiki had released—something Yusuke had no intention of showing them. But that wasn't the only reason.
Before he died, Urashiki had done something.
Yusuke looked down at his palm.
There, glowing faintly, was a diamond-shaped mark.
He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he stood within his own mindspace—a boundless realm of white.
"Come out. You think I wouldn't notice your trick?" Yusuke said coldly.
A shadow flickered behind him. A silent stab aimed for his back.
But a wave of frost surged out. The strike froze mid-air, and the attacker's body instantly encased in ice.
Yusuke turned slowly, his gaze filled with mocking amusement.
"Still hiding, are you, Urashiki?"
Trapped inside the ice, Urashiki looked furious—and terrified.
"You noticed…? Damn it... But no matter what you do, your body will become mine! You can't kill me!"
"Oh? So that's the golden Rinnegan's ability... Mark of Binding," Yusuke said flatly.
Urashiki's eyes widened.
"Who the hell are you?! How do you know all this?!"
"You say I can't kill you?" Yusuke's voice was calm.
His eyes shifted.
In both sockets, two pairs of Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan appeared simultaneously.
Urashiki trembled.
"T-Two pairs?! That's impossible! How can a human possess that?!"
He knew exactly what that meant—two fully awakened Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, each more terrifying than the golden Rinnegan.
Even within the Ōtsutsuki clan, barely anyone could control them.
And this man—Hatake Yusuke—not only possessed them, but could switch freely between them. That meant the eyes were truly his, not implanted.
And that was terrifying.
"Surprised?" Yusuke asked coolly. "No matter. You'll die soon enough."
His eyes unleashed a devastating pull.
Within the mental realm, the Rinnegan's power tore into Urashiki's essence—draining his soul, his chakra, and his very dōjutsu.
In the real world, the last fragments of Urashiki's body—once swallowed by the void—were completely destroyed. The energy flowed into Yusuke.
Urashiki's final scream faded… until it vanished entirely.
"Argh!"
Yusuke clenched his face, blood tears dripping from his eyes. The pain was excruciating—like his eyes were being carved out from the inside.
It lasted a full hour.
Only then did the agony fade.
"Damn… I guess this is the only pain I can still feel."
He chuckled weakly.
Thanks to his Infinity Ability, almost nothing could hurt him anymore. And even if something broke through his defense, his body had become utterly absurd.
After all, he had fused the powers of four Mythical Zoan fruits:
Hito Hito no Mi: Model Daibutsu
Hito Hito no Mi: Model Nika
Uo Uo no Mi: Model Seiryu
Tori Tori no Mi: Model Phoenix
Stacked within a single body, their powers didn't just combine—they evolved beyond measurement.
In Yusuke's mind, no weapon could ever pierce his defense… except perhaps the Truth-Seeking Orbs wielded by a peak-level Sage of Six Paths.
When the pain faded, he summoned an ice mirror in front of him.
The reflection showed golden Rinnegan glowing in his eyes.
"So this is the power of that eye… No wonder Urashiki couldn't control it."
Even Yusuke had trouble containing the immense energy within.
And this… was just the beginning.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan was truly terrifying.
From the memories he had absorbed, Yusuke now understood their hierarchy.
Not all Ōtsutsuki were powerful—many were little more than ordinary members of their kind. Some didn't even possess the Byakugan.
But those born with it… were unrivaled prodigies.
And one thing made Yusuke smile.
The head of one of the main Ōtsutsuki branches—their leader—was an absolute monster.
A being born with golden Rinnegan… who had already consumed nearly all the fruit from the Chakra Tree.
A monster whose strength defied logic.
Their reason for coming to this world: the battle for the Chakra Tree.
From Urashiki, Yusuke had also gained two new ocular abilities:
Time Reversal
Heaven Illusion Dominion (Ten Gen Meison)
A technique similar to Izanagi—but far superior.
A reality-warping illusion that could rewrite fate, invert cause and effect, and even erase death.
But it came at a terrible cost—massive energy expenditure. Yusuke could only use it once per day.
"A power even more terrifying than the original Izanagi…" he muttered, smiling faintly.
At that moment, a loud explosion echoed beyond the dimensional barrier.
The ground shook violently. Even Yusuke's house quivered from the impact.
In an instant, he activated Observation Haki—his awareness spreading across all of Konoha.
In the sky, dozens of shinobi flew with chakra wings, launching attacks from above—raining destruction from the air.
"How dare they… courting death."
Murderous intent surged in Yusuke's eyes.
In a flash, he vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already inside the Hokage's office. His movement was so fast it defied the laws of space.
Tsunade and Shizune were there. Konoha was in chaos. Yūhi Kurenai—heavily pregnant—stood near Tsunade, her body trembling from the recent blast.
Yusuke approached and gently touched her shoulder, channeling a soft blue chakra into her.
It immediately calmed her body, stabilizing her condition.
"It's alright. Just a little shock," Tsunade said to Yusuke.
"Y-yeah… I'm okay," Kurenai added with a smile, gently rubbing her belly. "It just startled me, that's all."
Yusuke gave her a small smile.
"I'll be back soon," he said.
He stepped toward the door—his killing intent no longer hidden.
