Boom!
A thunderous roar erupted.
The massive tree stump that would have taken two people to wrap their arms around was sliced cleanly in half with ease.
Then, under the tremor of the remaining force, it directly crumbled into powder.
But this was only the beginning.
In the next second, the scorched black earth below was pierced straight through!
A terrifying, narrow trench appeared—only twenty centimeters wide, yet so deep its bottom could not be seen.
It was like a high-pressure water jet piercing through loose yellow soil. Under that scarlet spear, all the charred dirt, molten rock, and broken stones were lifted into ash by the violent energy.
Only the trench remained, standing silently below.
Pfft!
At some point, the sound of water suddenly came from beneath.
Then it rose in a straight line!
With a loud puff, it shot into the sky, rushing toward the stars and moon!
Splash, splash.
At that moment, smoke and dust filled the air, and water vapor spread everywhere.
An eerie silence covered the entire scorched land.
But Kai was still sitting cross-legged, floating in midair, one hand propping up his chin as he smiled at everything before him.
It was as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
Even the water waves below still passed straight through his body!
And he himself still had the leisure to reach out and toy with the jetting stream, as if washing his hands…
"No… no… impossible!"
Seeing this scene, Urashiki found it difficult to understand.
Within his narrow Rinnegan, the figure beneath the water was clearly reflected.
Uchiha Kai!
His originally handsome face had now twisted slightly from shock and disbelief.
"You! Who exactly are you?! How could this kind of higher-dimensional power belong to a lowly insect?!"
Splash.
The rain fell heavily, gradually washing the people below clean.
As for Jiraiya and the other two, their reactions were all different.
Jiraiya did not change much.
He simply watched silently.
Very calm.
This strange and miraculous ability of Kai's was not something he was seeing for the first time.
Now that he saw it again, he had already expected it.
Boruto, however, opened his mouth wider and wider.
His jaw was nearly about to dislocate.
Originally, in his view, coming back to the past with the many developments and advantages of the future should have allowed him to shock the people of this era.
But only now did he realize that he, the person from the future, was more like a country bumpkin!
He had been shocked beyond belief instead!
This ability to turn intangible was practically a bug!
Only Sasuke, after seeing this power, had his pupils shrink instantly.
Even his original six-pointed Mangekyō Sharingan reverted to black pupils for an instant because of his extreme emotional turmoil.
He spoke with difficulty.
"Ka… Ka… Kamui?"
"Kamui? That name sounds familiar…"
Hearing this, Boruto's brows twisted together. After thinking hard for a moment, he suddenly slapped his palm.
"Is it the eye Senior Kakashi once lost?!"
He finally remembered.
It was the technique Senior Kakashi had once possessed when he had the Sharingan.
Kamui.
There were not many records of it, and he did not know exactly how powerful it was.
But looking at it now, this single aspect alone could crush most ninjutsu!
"No. This Kamui is the other half—the ability that belonged to Obito."
Sasuke shook his head and explained.
"And… as long as he wants, other people's attacks can't touch him at all."
But even though he clearly explained this ninjutsu, Sasuke himself was still extremely shocked.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not figure out how this technique was connected to his second brother.
As far as he knew, the abilities awakened by each pair of Mangekyō were basically different.
And in this timeline, Obito should still exist.
So where had his second brother, Uchiha Kai, obtained this technique from?
Could it be…
Kai had killed Obito?
Suddenly, that possibility took root and sprouted violently in Sasuke's heart.
So much so that his body even swayed slightly.
That mastermind behind the scenes who had made them suffer endlessly and ruined their families—
Had he been killed by his second brother just like that?
And even his eye had been taken for public use?
Sasuke found it hard to believe his own guess…
"Hm? Relax. That's Kai's own ability."
Beside him, Jiraiya saw Sasuke's face shift from gloomy to bright to green and patted him on the shoulder.
Hiss!
The moment those words came out, the ripples in Sasuke's heart directly surged into stormy waves!
Just what kind of eyes did this timeline's second brother possess?!
"Pat, pat."
On the remains of the tree stump, Kai patted off his backside and slowly stood up.
Under the moonlight and water mist, his entire body seemed to be draped in a faint veil.
For the first time, the pitch-black pupils of his eyes no longer carried laziness or teasing.
Only silence remained.
A calm indifference that looked down on everything.
"We're done chatting. Next…"
He raised his head, looked at Ōtsutsuki Urashiki with his strange expression, and spoke in a clear voice.
"It's time for you to get beaten."
Whoosh!
Before his voice had fully fallen, he directly threw out a shuriken!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of air being torn apart rang out instantly, extremely fast.
"Not bad speed, but—"
Urashiki did not seem to care at all. He only casually lowered his head and shifted sideways, avoiding the shuriken.
"Before these eyes of mine, everything is in slow motion."
He merely tilted his head.
Beside him, a shuriken clearly brushed past his temple.
It touched nothing.
Whoosh!
But at that moment, he suddenly discovered that Uchiha Kai ahead of him had vanished.
As if disappearing into thin air, the chakra fluctuation flashed once and was gone!
Where had he gone?
Urashiki could not believe his own eyes. The blue ripples in his gaze spun rapidly, searching for traces.
At the same time, his body instinctively retreated backward at high speed!
If he could not see the enemy, then retreat, retreat, retreat!
But the instant he moved back, a hand suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision.
At—
The rear side of his body!
He reacted abruptly. At the same time, he raised the fishing rod in his hand and instinctively swept it backward to block!
Unfortunately, it did not intercept anything.
He could only watch helplessly as, behind him, a pitch-black Tailed Beast Ball rapidly condensed and directly erupted!
Bang!
Boom!
Scorching energy rushed toward his face!
Even though he possessed the Rinnegan and wanted to avoid it, he simply could not react in time.
In that urgent situation, he could only activate his life-saving divine technique!
Buzz!
Time…
Rewind!!
The flow of water-like ripples within his blue Rinnegan grew faster and faster.
In the next second, they directly enveloped his body.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In an instant, the surrounding scene returned to the moment from before.
Kai sat cross-legged on the tree stump, one hand supporting his chin.
The other three people were still pointing from the side, looking extremely confused.
"Huff…"
Urashiki let out a breath of relief.
Although this ability was a little exhausting, it was still better than being injured.
Looking once again at Kai, who seemed dazed and confused, he smiled again.
And this time, his smile became even more excited and intense.
"Hahahahaha, brat, are you curious why everything seems to have happened all over again?"
"Time Rewind? Interesting."
Kai pursed his lips as he looked at the formula he had just carved onto Urashiki's collar. His brows and eyes curved slightly.
"Then you—"
"How many times can you rewind?"
