Chapter 29 - Urashiki's arrival

With everyone gathered, they entered the bath house and began cleaning up. Though, most the time, Naruto was complaining that a Jonin shouldn't be doing a mission like this, but no one bothered to entertain him.

"Can you stop complaining for two seconds?" Boruto grumbled, feeling that Naruto is finally showing his age, as he's always been so mature when speaking with him before.

But now...he's acting like a prick!

"Nope" Naruto replied

"Come on Naruto, show some maturity for being a Jonin" Tenten giggled

"If you became a Jonin at the age of thirteen, would you agree to do this type of odd job?" Naruto asked

"..." Tenten was about to say yes, but on second thought, if she were a Jonin at that age, shouldn't the village see her as a talent worth nurturing? Why would she be wasting time cleaning a bath house at that point?

Seeing that it stumped her, Naruto snorted

"Let's get a move on then" Naruto sighed, he crossed his hand and summoned ten clones.

The clones lined up in front of him

"You three, go get more water, you seven, start scrubbing" Naruto said

"Yes sir" The grinned and immediately began working

Seeing him use his clones for this, Boruto's eyes lit up as he too, created two clones that began helping out.

"We won't be outdone, right Akamaru?" Kiba said as he glanced at the puppy beside him

"Arf" Akamaru barked in agreement

*Puff*

Akamaru transformed into Kiba, and they began working together on cleaning up the place

As they were cleaning, Boruto glanced over at Hinata

'I kinda wanna talk to her, but she's also not the same person I know, so it'll be weird...not to mention, she's scary' He gulped, and after contemplating, decided against it...

-Outside the village-

"Asuma sensei, what is the mission about? You still haven't told us yet" Ino was walking beside Asuma, with Choji following beside, eating.

"It's just a delivery to a nearby town" He replied

"Eh? Then why act so secretive?" Ino asked

"Hahaha, so Kurenai won't know I'm also going to that town to buy a new pack" He replied

"...I'm telling Kurenai sensei later" Ino said flatly

"Hey now, I'll buy you both something to keep you quiet, how bout it?" He winked

"Treat Choji to lunch for a week and I'll agree" Ino gave him a playful grin and asked

"...anything that doesn't involve ruining my financial situation?" Asuma coughed

"Nope~" Ino laughed as she skipped forward

*Sigh*

Asuma shook his head, that is what he gets for thinking he could trust his own students...

*Rustle*

"Hm? Ino, get back!" Asuma called out

From above, dozens of rogue like men jumped down, holding weapons in their hands with a bloodthirsty look in their eyes. 

Choji tossed his bag of chips aside, and took on a battle stance immediately

"Bandits eh? Good time to test you two, go all out, I'll help if you're in danger" Asuma observed silently, and felt that they were at most physically trained, but didn't have much chakra.

They posed no real threat as long as these two don't let their guards down.

"Kay~" Ino took out a scroll and slammed it to the ground

*Puff*

!!!

Asuma's eyes widened from shock, and the cigarette almost dropped from his mouth. Under everyone's frightened gaze, a massive puppet emerged.

"Let's move out" Ino grinned

*Bang*

She dashed forward, with the puppet following closely behind. The bandits were shaken, but their eyes were firm.

"It's just one giant, kill the girl and the giant will stop!" 

Ino flicked her hand, and the puppet ran forward, and bashed a few bandits into the air. She then appeared in front of a nearby bandit, and struck his back with the mind body disturbance jutsu.

"Ah!" The bandit trembled, and his body began moving towards his own comrade, striking him down with his own two hands.

"G-Get away from me!" He screamed, knowing his body is under her control

'Th-This...when did the Yamanaka clan implement puppets into their fighting style? No, this is obviously unrelated to her clan' Asuma was shocked as he watched Ino single-handedly wipe out any bandits in her path.

The puppet's destructive force aside, Ino was just as impressive! She was moving in close quarters, something most Yamanaka clan members tend to avoid, and using her clan jutsus with such ease!

Choji was also stunned, he couldn't even comprehend how Ino is doing all this, forgetting to even fight as he watched. Even if he did join in, what can he do? Ino's influence in this battlefield is so insane that adding him, it won't make a difference.

*Bang*

The puppet slammed its fist into the ground, creating a massive shockwave that sent many bandits flying.

"R-Retreat!" The few remaining screamed in terror as they began running from them, never would they have imagined that they'd be wiped out so easily!

"Hehe, Na-kun's the best, fighting up close with a puppet is actually so fun" Ino giggled

With the bandits retreating, Asuma finally snapped out of his stupor. He still remembered seeing her fight a few weeks ago, and it was nothing like this! Her fighting style has completely changed, and her concentration is on a whole other level!

He walked over, unable to express his shock

"Ino, wh-when did you start learning to use puppets?" He asked in awe

"Just a few days ago, but it's all thanks to Na-kun that it works this well" She grinned, but if Naruto heard this, he'd choke on her words.

All thanks to him? He may have given her the idea and necessities, but her talent is nothing to scoff at. Her ability to master it so quickly, as well as turning his theoretical jutsu into reality, it's all mind blowing, even for him.

"Naruto? H-He helped you? Wait, how does he know how to do all this in the first place?" He asked

Ino looked back

"Dunno, but if he hasn't told me, I won't pry" She responded

"...*sigh*, well, what he has done is indeed very beneficial for you, but my other question is where you obtained such a powerful puppet, the force behind it is quite a threat, where even I cannot ignore" He frowned as he stared at the monstrosity behind Ino.

Ino scratched the back of her head

"Ah, I don't know that either, Na-kun prepared it for me" She replied

"...fine, I'll pretend I know nothing, don't reveal this to the public either, keep it a secret for now" Asuma said, he felt that if this puppet is used correctly, it could become quite the trump card for Ino.

"Okay~" Ino nodded

-Back to the bath house-

"Finally done..." Naruto heaved out a sigh of relief

"You barely did anything? You just had the clones do it all" Boruto grumbled beside him

"Kid, looks like you know nothing of the multi shadow clone, whatever the clone experiences, it would be returned to the user once they disperse, so I just stacked nearly a dozen people worth of fatigue onto myself" Naruto replied in a low voice

"O-Oh" He actually had no idea that the multi shadow clone has such an effect.

"Hey Naruto, wanna join us in a meal?" Tenten called out

"Anyone treating me?" Naruto replied

Tenten rolled her eyes

"Sure, if you pay me back with interest" She replied

"...I'll pay for my own" Naruto coughed

Rock Lee walked over at this moment, his gaze focused on Naruto

"Naruto, let's compete in eating! The loser will complete five hundred sets of squats! If they cannot do it, then they shall finish one thousand pushups!" Lee said with a burning gaze

Naruto lifted a brow as he grinned

"You're on" 

"Hahaha, I knew you would accept, as expected of someone who shows such incredible youthful energy!" Lee gave him a thumbs up as he revealed a wide grin

'Youthful...energy? Dad? When did he get infected with Rock Lee sensei's 'youthfulness'?' Boruto stared at Naruto in bewilderment

Naruto decided to treat Boruto since he didn't have the currency of this timeline.

"Hey da-...ahem, Naruto, be honest, do you wear tight green jumpsuits and yell 'My youth is burning' in your spare time?" As the group began to eat, Boruto asked with a serious expression

"Hm? No, why?" Naruto asked as he finished his fifth bowl of ramen, whilst Lee was on his fourth

"No reason..."

After lunch, Lee invited Boruto to go train with him, in which Boruto refused with a rather awkward smile. 

Naruto approached Neji, who was about to head off, and hung his arm over his shoulders

"So~ What's with you and the Hyuga clan's little princess? I thought you disliked the main branch" Naruto teased

Neji rolled his eyes

"I decided she is no longer showing any traits that I despise, but my anger towards the main clan has not wavered, Hinata is the only exception" He replied

"Oh...can I ask what changed? I noticed that she was quite fierce today"

"Isn't it you?" Neji replied

"Huh? Me?" Naruto was a little taken aback, he didn't think he did anything to Hinata that the original Naruto didn't do.

Neji stared at him as if he was staring at a fool

"Can you be any more dense? Ever since your performance during the chunin exam, she has been determined to become stronger for you, plus, you and Ino are practically a thing now, so she became more desperate" He replied

"...oh..." Naruto thought about it, so Ino was the deciding factor, or rather, his close relationship with Ino.

Hinata wasn't the type to have acted so decisively if Naruto didn't have anyone who would be interested in him, but with Ino in the fray, it seems it tipped her over the edge in that regard. Being still young, she has quite the impulsive mindset as well, leading to this change in attitude in order to catch up to Naruto.

Neji then explained to Naruto about the experiences he had with fighting Hinata, which led to his expression to change once more.

"Y-You're serious?" Naruto gasped

"Dead serious" Neji responded

Naruto was in shock, from her attitude or her fighting style, they were both....terrifying!

"How are you faring against her during the spars?" Naruto asked

Neji trembled at the thought

"I win...but it doesn't feel like a victory" He replied, his gaze became gloomy as he spoke

"..."

'Just how traumatised is he?'

He coughed and decided it was better to change the subject

"Well, that's that then, let's talk about you and Tenten now, I saw that you two were practically inseparable when we were cleaning the bath house, care to explain?" Naruto revealed a cheeky grin as he nudged him.

Neji squinted his eyes at Naruto, then turned around to leave

"Hey now, don't be like this, tell me the details!" Naruto grabbed onto Neji's wrist, but Neji wouldn't talk no matter what.

"Urgh, fine, I'll find out sooner or later" Naruto sighed as he let go

After exchanging a few more words with one another, Naruto left with Boruto.

"So, how was it meeting your senseis as children? By the way, who is your team Jonin?" Naruto asked

"It's quite odd...oh, and our team Jonin is Konohamaru sensei" Boruto replied

"Konohamaru...hm...oh, right, the kid I tried to use to blackmail the Hokage" Naruto clasped his hands together and remembered his first day of transmigration.

"...you what?!?" Boruto gasped

"Nothing, anyway, you head back first, I'm gonna go visit someone" Naruto said

"Who are you meeting? Bring me along" Boruto asked with an excited look

"No" Naruto replied, he's going to visit Orochimaru after all. 

If he were to bring Boruto with him, he won't even know when his son from another timeline ends up disected. 

"Tch, you're no fun" Boruto grumbled

"I won't be gone for long, and I'm not going out to play" Naruto said

"Urgh, fine" Boruto sighed

Before parting, Naruto had a talk with Sasuke

"So, before I go, you're sure this guy named Urashiki won't appear beforehand? He will definitely appear in two days?" Naruto asked

"..."

"Say something"

Sasuke sighed

"I cannot be sure, I am only sure that we arrived before him, and the estimate of three days can change" He replied

"Urgh, that sounds like a bother, then what am I supposed to do?" Naruto asked

"I will go with you" Sasuke replied

"...what about this kid?" Naruto pointed at Boruto and asked

"He will only get in the way if anything does happen, so he can just stay" Sasuke replied

"Good plan" Naruto nodded

"Hey, I didn't agree to this!" Boruto was shocked, they're seriously going to ditch him like that!?

Naruto glanced at him

"Forget about Urashiki, if you go with us, you will probably die before you even meet Urashiki" Naruto said with a frown

"..."

Boruto stared at Naruto in shock, die before Urashiki appears!? Where is he even going then!? It also surprised Sasuke quite a bit to hear such a thing, but he felt that it was more so a reason to stop Boruto from wanting to come with them.

"Fine..." He sighed dejectedly

"Mn, alright, Sasuke, you ready?" Naruto asked

Sasuke was a little curious as to where Naruto was going at this moment

'Well, wherever it is, I doubt I'll be surprised at this point' Having witnessed so many shocking events, he felt that he's already numb to it all.

Naruto grabbed Sasuke's wrist

"Ready?" Naruto revealed a playful grin, which made Sasuke feel a little uneasy

He felt that it would be fun to mess with Sasuke a bit, after all, he's a foreigner in a new timeline which he has driven off course. How much fun would it be to mess with him?

*Swoosh*

Boruto watched bitterly as the two vanished...

When they appeared once more, they were in a rather dark place, seemingly underground, with bad air flow and a strong stench of blood.

Sasuke shivered as memories appeared bit by bit.

"N-Naruto, where...did you take us" He asked, but he seems to already know

"Sss...who is this now?" A pale faced man approached from behind them as his neck stretched out so it looped around Sasuke as he stared at his face.

*Swoosh*

Sasuke grabbed his blade and quickly slashed down on Orochimaru's head, but Orochimaru pulled back and jumped to a safe distance.

His tongue hissed at Sasuke before slowly turning to Naruto

"Brat, why did you bring someone else to my lab....and what is that written on your face" He asked in a low voice

Naruto laughed

"I felt it'd be fun for you two to meet, say, how do you feel meeting him, as for my face...I actually have no idea" Naruto laughed as he nudged Sasuke

Sasuke's expression was rather dark. Although in his timeline, Orochimaru ultimately became an ally, the current Orochimaru is still a sinister monster who wish for nothing but the destruction of Konoha!

"What is the meaning of this" Sasuke said in a low voice

Naruto chuckled and punched his arm lightly

"Don't be so hostile, that goes for you too, Orochimaru" Naruto smiled, he noticed that Orochimaru was prepared to strike Sasuke at any moment.

"Relax~, Orochimaru, I think you'll be quite interested in this person here" Naruto said with a grin

But Sasuke grabbed his head

"Don't you dare..." He said in a low voice, knowing Naruto was about to reveal his identity to Orochimaru.

"Hahaha, man, you look livid" Naruto smiled

"Speak, who is he" Orochimaru growled 

Naruto sighed

"You two are no fun, both are so hostile"

To ease Orochimaru up a little, Naruto took out a scroll that he threw over. When Orochimaru caught it, he quickly opened it up, and before long, his furrowed brows were now relaxed, even smiling.

"Hm, not bad, I guess I can forgive you for bringing someone else in, though....he won't reveal my location, will he?" Orochimaru asked

"Nah, this guy may be grumpy and not as handsome as me, but he is nice enough to not leak anything" Naruto replied

"...that second half is unnecessary" Orochimaru responded

"Wha~t? That's completely necessary!" Naruto laughed

Sasuke was having a hard time comprehending all this, just what is going on between Naruto and Orochimaru? These two did not have such a good relationship in his timeline, not even after the war where Orochimaru became an ally of Konoha!

"Anyway, ignore the grumpy guy, I came to see how the puppets are coming along, and also see if you need any assistance in any experiments" Naruto said, his smile dropped, and was replaced with a serious expression.

Orochimaru glanced at Sasuke, finding him to be quite familiar, but dropped it after some thought.

"The puppets are coming along fine, I just need you to form some seals in the core to finalise it before assembling some parts" He replied

"As for experiemnts...you came at the right time, I was about to improve on the curse mark on Sasuke, but figured that your presence will make things easier for me, maybe even give me a nice surprise" He chuckled

Sasuke was stunned, Naruto is helping Orochimaru with improving the curse marks!? And what's this about the puppets? These two are working together? 

A foreboding dread crept up on him...if these two works together, wouldn't Konoha be in danger?

"Sure, one sec" Naruto crossed his fingers, and with a puff, he transformed into his original appearance.

"Mn, since you're ready, I'll go bring Sasuke" Orochimaru nodded and walked out the room

Once he left, Sasuke grabbed Naruto's shoulder

"Speak, what is going on, why are you in contact with orochimaru, and will you harm Konoha in any way" He said threateningly, his eyes emitted a strong killing intent, but Naruto shrugged it off.

"Pfft, Orochimaru and I, we're in a cooperative relationship, I help him, and he helps me, but we keep personal things out of it, if we face off on a battlefield, we will fight, but outside of that, we are partners" Naruto replied

"But why him of all people" Sasuke asked

Naruto sighed

"Listen, I need someone with a good head to help me, who in Konoha has such capabilities? Although Orochimaru is a mad man, but he is a genius in his field of work, something no one else can compare to" Naruto said calmly

Sasuke gnashed his teeth, at this moment, Orochimaru is one of the biggest threats to Konoha, outside of the Akatsuki, yet Naruto is working with him so casually!?

"Will it really make me stronger?" At this moment, 'Sasuke' walked in with Orochimaru

When he saw Naruto and future Sasuke, he narrowed his gaze, feeling that the man with black hair seems awfully familiar, but couldn't put his hands on it.

"Who are they" He asked

"This is a helper of mine, he will be able to improve the mark if he helps, as for the other one...just ignore him" Orochimaru gave future Sasuke a cold glare before pulling Sasuke over to Naruto.

Sasuke stared at his future self, whilst the future self looked away... 

'This is embarrassing...' He thought to himself, as he was reminded of his edgy state during this time period...

Sasuke then turned to Naruto, who gave him a friendly smile. But for some reason, he had a strong urge to hit him despite this being their first time meeting.

"Now now, Sasuke, relax, otherwise, your chakra flow will be quite the mess to work with" Naruto said, but his smile only served to annoy Sasuke.

"Hmph" He looked away and scoffed

Naruto's lips twitched, he walked over and...

*Thwack*

He chopped down on his neck, knocking Sasuke out cold...

"Alright, time to get a work on it, I'll improve his seal, but I'll be damned if I don't add a gimic that f**ks him over" Naruto sneered coldly 

"That's my future body you're messing with" Orochimaru interjected

Future Sasuke:...that's my younger body you're messing with!

Naruto rolled his eyes

"Don't worry, it won't be anything big, I'm just implementing a little memory altering seal into it, so every time he uses the upgraded curse mark, images of Itachi turning into a woman will surface his mind" Naruto revealed a cold smirk as he laughed maniacally

"..."

"You're ruthless"

[Ruthless brat]

Orochimaru and Kurama both were shocked by such an implementation, how f**ked in the head does one need to be to think of such a thing!? 

"..." Future Sasuke's lips twitched, he has seen the scene of his brother being turned into a woman, it's too much!

"That's what he gets for scoffing at me, in the first place, I'm already showing a lot of respect to you by not f**king him over, I hate this guy, why should I even help him in the first place" Naruto sneered

At this, Sasuke quickly realised...the Naruto of this timeline doesn't give a sh*t about him! He didn't realise it earlier, but shouldn't Naruto be doing everything he can to bring him back to Konoha?

In his timeline, Naruto was relentless when it comes to chasing him down, just to bring him back to the village, but here...Naruto doesn't seem to give a damn, does he?

It baffles him, someone who should be looking for him, already knows where he is, and is even helping Orochimaru strengthen his curse mark!

"Let's begin" Naruto and Orochimaru narrowed their gaze on the mark on Sasuke's neck.

From the side, future Sasuke watched intently as Naruto and Orochimaru began altering the curse mark. The more he watched, the more shocked he became, because he could feel the quality of the mark improve with each new implementation from them.

"Seems like your theory from last time worked" Orochimaru chuckled

"At this point, we should..." Naruto fiddled with the curse mark a bit more 

Sasuke's expression was rather complicated

'That mark...is far superior to the one I had back then...' He couldn't believe it, but he was somewhat jealous.

Why? Because, if he had such a mark back in the days, it would have made his battles so much easier. But when he thought of the powers he has now, he shook his head and laughed at his childish thoughts of being jealous of it.

"Should I make it so he can activate sage mode with it?" Naruto asked

!!!

Sasuke turned over in stupor, sage mode!? He can do that!?

Orochimaru shook his head

"No, it would be too much for his body at the moment, the chakra he would obtain from this mark is enough to push his body to his limits" He replied

"Alright" Naruto nodded

After some finalising, they were quite satisfied with the finish product.

"And now~" Naruto grinned as he added one more seal onto the mark...

The two stared at Naruto with a grim expression when he added that final seal, knowing what it was for...

"With that, the mark is complete, if my calculation is correct, it should be about twice as effective as the original, and would put less burden on the body, all we need now is for him to activate it" Naruto snapped his fingers and grinned

'T-Twice as effective?' Sasuke gulped, one needs to remember, he is only thirteen this year...if that is the case, wouldn't the Sasuke of this timeline become much stronger than himself when he was that age?

Orochimaru licked the side of his lips

"Not bad, indeed, it was the right call to wait for you" He nodded in satisfaction

As they were appreciating the new curse mark they have created, Sasuke's expression became dark as he looked up.

"Naruto, it seems your random guesses came true" He sighed

Naruto lifted a brow

"Uh...don't tell me..." Naruto frowned

"Urashiki is here"

"..." Naruto's lips twitched, he was only joking when he said that Urashiki might appear whilst he came here, but it actually came true?

"Who?" Orochimaru frowned

"Uh, someone who wants my nine tails, this guy here is tasked with protecting me from it" Naruto replied as he pointed at Sasuke

Orochimaru sighed

"And it just have to be above my lab, eh? Whatever, I still need you for the future, so I'll see what I can do to help" He muttered

"Damn, seriously? And here I thought you'd leave me be and watch from the side" Naruto gasped

Orochimaru rolled his eyes

"Don't expect much, if he's beyond what I can handle, I'm leaving you without a second thought" He hissed

"Well, it's the thought that counts" Naruto shrugged

Naruto patted Sasuke's back

"Well, let's head up and greet our new guest" Naruto grinned

'Why is he so casual about this'

Orochimaru opened up a pathway, and the three exited the lab. Upon exit, they saw a figure in white, with light grey spiky hair, and white pupils.

"The Byakugan, and flight...interesting" Orochimaru stared at the person floating above and licked the side of his lips.

Urashiki, looked down at them as a frown appeared on his face.

"I thought I sensed something unpleasant" He muttered as he glared at Sasuke, knowing that his plans were complicated with his intervention.

He shifted his gaze to Naruto and Orochimaru, as his frown faded.

"But no matter, mortals like yourself never stood much of a chance against me" He smirked as a fishing rod appeared in his hand.

Naruto straed at him blankly

"Urgh, I hate looking up at people, my neck is now sore" He grumbled as he rubbed his neck with his hand

*Swoosh*

A single fishing line shot down towards him, but before it could land, Naruto vanished, and appeared behind Sasuke.

"Hey now, I thought you're here to stop him? Why didn't you block that for me?" Naruto asked

Sasuke's lips twitched, but he shook his head

"Don't let that line touch you, he steals chakra through it" He said

"Oh? A fascinating jutsu..." Orochimaru rubbed his chin

His arm turned into numerous snakes as it shot towards Urashiki like vines. However, his attack was simply blasted apart by Urashiki when he shot a black orb of condensed chakra at it.

Sasuke stared at Urashiki with a dark expression, one of his eyes became purple, with circles around his pupil.

'I guess that's the rinnegan, huh?' Naruto glanced at it

"Chidori senbon" Lightning crackled in his hand as he leapt into the air

"What a boring trick" Urashiki smirked as he slammed his fishing rod towards Sasuke

*Swoosh*

Sasuke's figure blurred, and Urashiki heard the sound of lightning crackling behind him. When he turned around, hundreds of sparks of lightning shot towards him.

But before any of it landed, Urashiki smiled

'Rewind' 

In an instant, time reversed by just a few seconds, and he immediately slashed his fishing rod backwards, forcing Sasuke, who just appeared behind him, to back off and dispersed his chidori.

"A mortal will forever be a mortal" He chuckled as a condensed ball of chakra formed in his hand

*Bzzt*

"Was I forgotten? Oh well" Urashiki heard someone behind him, and he felt a strong suction force pull him backwards.

"Pathetic" Urashiki voiced as he turned around, and shot the ball towards Naruto, who held a rasengan in his hand.

"Kurama, beast bomb" Naruto said calmly

[Don't need to tell me twice]

Naruto opened his mouth and shot out a bijuudama towards the incoming ball. When the two collided, a powerful explosion occured in the air, knocking Naruto back, whilst Urashiki took this chance to approach Naruto.

He reached towards Naruto's neck as a wide smile grew on his face

"Bleh" Naruto stuck out his tongue and flipped him off

Right after, Sasuke suddenly appeared in his place, and in his hand was a blade covered in lightning that slashed towards him.

Urashiki's pupils shrunk

'Rewind' 

Time turned back once more, and instead of reaching towards Naruto, he directly shot a barrage of strings towards him. The moment Naruto switched with Sasuke, Sasuke was surrounded by the strings, and was forced to cut them apart instead of attacking him.

Naruto landed beside Orochimaru

"You found out anything about him yet?" Naruto asked

Orochimaru frowned

"For one, he isn't serious right now" He said

"And your reason being?"

"His byakugan isn't activated, or else, you wouldn't have snuck up behind him, and he seems to be able to predict your strategies" He added

"I've had similar thoughts, when I switched places with Sasuke, he didn't flinch at all, and when Sasuke teleported behind him, he reacted before his appearance" Naruto muttered

*Bang*

Sasuke's sharingan activated, as black flames began rampaging around Urashiki.

"Piece of trash, how dare you get in my way" Urashiki clenched his fist and raised his fishing rod into the air.

Numerous fishing lines began shooting out from the tip, raining down towards them.

"Tsk" Sasuke slashed at the strings, summoning the arms of Susano to increase his area of clearance.

Orochimaru crossed his hands, as snakes began rising behind him, shooting towards the strings that rained down on them. Each snake that was struck by the string would immediately crumble away, however, the string would also retract.

"Annoying pesks" Veins bulged around Urashiki's eyes as he landed on the ground, creating a massive crater upon impact.

'He activated his byakugan, guess it's about time to get serious as well' 

An orange cloak began covering Naruto, and behind him, four tails sprouted out. Orange marks appeared around is eyes as his pupils became toad like.

'He can even control the nine tail's chakra? Just what sort of monster is the Naruto of this timeline' Sasuke gasped in awe when his witnessed this, but quickly turned his attention back to Urashiki.

Naruto then created nine clones, each with sage mode and Kurama's chakra.

"Move out, tail beast bomb, times ten!" They all formed the bijuudama that shot towards Urashiki who just landed

Urashiki was stunned by this intense barrage, but acted swiftly.

"Mere tricks" He sneered as his byakugans transformed into a red rinnegan with six tomoe.

*Boom*

The ten beast bombs exploded on impact, creating a deep crater that even Orochimaru dreaded.

However, when it cleared, Urashiki was gone without a trace

[Kid, behind!]

Naruto didn't even look back, and teleported away, just in time to avoid Urashiki's fishing rod.

"Tsk" Urashiki clicked his tongue

He narrowed his eyes on Naruto, feeling annoyed that he is unable to even steal the chakra of a child.
