Chapter 72 – Can Ōtsutsuki Urashiki Come Quickly?
Late at night.
Su Li, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.
He gently got out of bed, careful not to wake Temari and Yakumo sleeping beside him.
As for why things had ended up like this—it all started with Temari's suggestion that couples should sleep in the same bed.
Whatever her true intention was, once Yakumo heard it she refused to be outdone.She volunteered to sleep together too, using a perfectly reasonable excuse:she feared the demon might resurrect again, so it was safest to stay by Su Li's side.
Su Li stepped onto the balcony.
The next moment, Sasuke's figure emerged from the shadows.
"Your Excellency."
"Welcome back, Sasuke. Are you alright?"
Su Li didn't rush to ask about the mission's outcome; instead, he asked with concern.
For most shinobi, the mission is top priority.But Su Li cared more about Sasuke's safety than success or failure,and that small kindness warmed Sasuke's heart.
"No, I'm fine, Lord Agent… but we failed to assassinate the Fourth Raikage.He's seriously injured but still alive."
"I see."
Su Li nodded, saying little more.
To him, it didn't matter much whether the Fourth Raikage lived or died.In fact, either result benefited him.
If the Raikage died, Hyuga Hiashi and Sasuke would have their revenge, owing him gratitude—and Cloud Village would plunge into chaos, buying Su Li valuable time to grow.
If the Raikage lived, that too served a purpose.As Su Li had said before—to unite within, one must have an enemy without.
Take Gaara's father, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.When the Third Kazekage was killed by Sasori, Sunagakure fell into turmoil,and Rasa seized power amid the confusion.Lacking reputation, he stabilized his position by waging war.External pressure left no room for dissent.He purged opposition by sending troublemakers to die at the front lines,and redirected public doubt into hatred of the enemy.Whether the war could be won was secondary.
The same logic applied here.The Fourth Raikage was worth more alive than dead.
"A man like the Fourth Raikage isn't easy to kill," Su Li said, hands clasped behind his back."If the mission failed, then it failed. Compared to our true enemies, he's merely an ant."
"The real enemy?"
Sasuke frowned in confusion.
If even a Kage was considered an ant,then what terrifying foe could Su Li mean?
"That's right. I shouldn't tell you this so early," Su Li replied, his voice solemn,"but they're about to appear, so I can't keep it secret much longer.For your safety, you should know in advance."
Sasuke swallowed hard. Su Li's tone made his heart tighten.
"Their name," Su Li continued, "is the Ōtsutsuki Clan."
"…The Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
The name stirred something in Sasuke's memory.Then it hit him—he had seen it before, in The Inventory of the Strongest Dōjutsu,the chapter that mentioned the Rinnegan.
Did the Agent mean the enemy possessed the Rinnegan!?
The thought was so shocking that his brows furrowed deeply.
He knew full well how overwhelming the Rinnegan was.Its versatility might not be as absurdly broken as Su Li's Emperor Kekkei,but in overall combat power it surpassed nearly everything,even bending time and space itself.
Even with his Emperor Kekkei, Sasuke couldn't guarantee victory against such a foe.Compared with that, the Raikage really was like an ant.
"Don't be so tense, Sasuke," Su Li said lightly."If nothing else, only one Ōtsutsuki will attack this time."
He turned and patted Sasuke's head.
"And even if something unexpected happens, I'm still here."
Those words made Sasuke relax.
Right—even if the sky fell, there was someone taller to hold it up.
If the Ōtsutsuki Clan came, Su Li would crush them with ease.Sasuke admired him too much to think otherwise.
"Is there anything I can do to help, Lord Agent?"
"Well," Su Li said, "I've foreseen the Ōtsutsuki attack, but I only know the general time and place.I'll need your help using your clone."
Then he explained his plan.
Not long from now, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki would travel through time and space to Konoha,accompanying Boruto and the others.
In the animation, the event ended safely, with Urashiki defeated—but this was the real shinobi world.With Su Li's own arrival already changing fate,who could say the same outcome would repeat?
He couldn't just rely on Boruto and his team, could he?
If Urashiki attacked Konoha,even with its vastly increased strength,few could match an enemy of Six Paths level.
After thinking it over, Su Li decided to eliminate Urashiki himself.Doing so would not only remove a hidden threatbut also allow him to claim Urashiki's Rinnegan, weapons,and possibly the artifact Plough, which allowed time-space travel.
He couldn't risk letting anyone else seize such treasures.
"I understand. Leave it to me, Lord Agent!"
Sasuke accepted the order with resolve.He'd planned to return Hyuga Hiashi to Konoha and then go harass Cloud Village again,but this mission took precedence.Dealing with Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was top priority.
"Good. Don't overthink it—it's just one Ōtsutsuki," Su Li said, smiling as he ruffled Sasuke's hair."You've just come back from a mission. Go rest for now. Don't pressure yourself."
Sasuke didn't like being treated like a child,but since it was Su Li, he simply nodded.
After sending Sasuke off, Su Li lay down again.
But could he really sleep, knowing Urashiki might appear soon?
He smirked to himself.
Would Might Guy need to go Super Saiyan to face the villain?Would Kakashi awaken Bankai and electrocute him?
He chuckled.Urashiki's expression would be priceless.
[Ding! Host, your system point balance has reached 50 million! New permission unlocked: Double Draw Authority!]
As the prompt echoed, Su Li's eyes lit up.
A new feature? Double draw?
"System, what does 'Double Draw' mean?" he asked silently.
[Explanation: Double Draw Authority allows the host to choose a multiplier during the lottery.The system deducts points according to that multiple, and rewards appear in the same multiple.]
"Sounds pretty good," Su Li mused.
Essentially, it was a gamble.With 50 million points, he could perform five King-Level ten-draws.But with a multiplier—a ×2 draw would yield double rewards but cost double points.A ×5 draw would quintuple both.
If something good appeared, the payout would be immense.If not—he'd bleed points fast.
A high-risk, high-reward mechanic.
Su Li had been hoarding points hoping to unlock a higher-tier lottery.He hadn't expected this new privilege first.Naturally, he couldn't resist trying it.
"Alright! Let's go all-in—five-times draw!"
[Ding! Starting King-Level Ten Draw!]
[Ding! Illusion EXP +700,000 — ×5 multiplier = 3.5 million points!][Ding! Taijutsu EXP +660,000 — ×5 multiplier = 3.3 million points!][Ding! Taijutsu EXP +600,000 — ×5 multiplier = 3 million points!]
Sure enough, each reward quintupled!
This looked so much better.Getting 100 all at once felt far nicer than five 20s.
[Ding! You get Erina's Love Bento ×1 (from Shokugeki no Sōma world)! ×5 multiplier = 5 bentos!]
"…Huh?"
A bento box?Wasn't this a King-level draw?
Could food really rank that high?Well—if it came from Erina, maybe.In a world where culinary skill equaled power,her cooking might indeed qualify as King-tier.
Still, Su Li sighed.No matter how tasty it was, food wasn't combat power.
[Ding! You get World-Class Item: Slaughter Gun ×1! ×5 multiplier = 5!]
"Jackpot!!"
His heartbeat skipped.
The Slaughter Gun!A World-Class Item from the Overlord universe!
It could erase targets completely,restorable only by another World-Class Item.There was a price, of course—the user must pay a cost to perform total erasure.
Even so, the weapon's power was undeniable.Su Li might not wield it himself,but he could always trap enemies with illusionand trade it through manipulation—profit secured.
Further notifications followed—more EXP boosts, but no better prizes.
Still, five Slaughter Guns were plenty.No loss there.
When the ten-draw ended, the prize light dimmed.
Su Li opened his status panel.Skipping the minor stats, he checked the basics:
[Basic Abilities]
Chakra: Domain Level [True Mystic: Real Arcane Energy] [Domain: Inactive] (Exp 57,7040 / 100 M)
Taijutsu: Domain Level [True Mystic: Real High-Speed Regeneration] [Domain: Inactive] (Exp 618,340 / 100 M)
Ninjutsu: Domain Level [True Mystic: Real Grandmaster] [Domain: Inactive] (Exp 729,123 / 100 M)
Genjutsu: Domain Level [True Mystic: Real Magic Resistance] [Domain: Inactive] (Exp 30,210 / 100 M)
All four core stats had advanced from Profound Level to Domain Level.Each Profound Truth evolved into its True Profound form.The Domains themselves remained inactive—perhaps more experience or a special condition was required.
Either way, Su Li was satisfied.For now, this power was enough.
What mattered most was whether Ōtsutsuki Urashiki would appear soon.
He couldn't wait to see how that arrogant alien would reactupon witnessing the current Konoha.
It was going to be fun.
