Urashiki in Crane Form widened all three eyes, trying to catch sight of Kai's figure!
But every time he was about to lock onto him, only a lightning afterimage remained where Kai had been.
"H-how… how is this possible?!"
"Even the supreme Rinnegan can't capture him!"
He was stunned.
All three golden pupils trembled violently.
He could not understand why, under the supposedly omnipotent Rinnegan, his vision was actually slower than Kai's movements!
But that thought existed for only an instant.
In the next moment, his entire body vanished from where he stood.
Zzzzt—boom!
At the same time, where he had just been standing—
A fierce elbow strike appeared out of thin air!
Its power was so terrifying that even the air itself was stabbed into producing a roaring, explosive sound!
As for the rain that had been falling, it was instantly evaporated into vapor!
"Not only fast, but powerful too…"
Urashiki stretched out his tongue and licked the corner of his lips. A twisted smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Hehehe. You really are an unexpectedly interesting fellow!"
"But—this great me is faster than a crawling bug like you!"
"Stronger too!"
As his words fell, his entire body vanished again!
There was not the slightest warning.
Instant movement!
A powerful ability that could only be used after opening the third Rinnegan!
It was also one of the symbols of taijutsu reaching its peak.
"So this is instant movement under the Rinnegan state? It really is fast…"
Kai narrowed his eyes.
To be honest, he—
Could not see the trajectory of the other party's instant movement.
He could only use his own teleportation at the very instant the other party vanished from sight.
Or rather, his should be called—
Flying Thunder God Technique!
After years of practice, Kai's Flying Thunder God had long since reached mastery.
Combined with the reaction speed that had been stacked through various traits until it was infinitely close to zero, he could achieve cooldown-free Flying Thunder God inside this barrier!
For a time, one large and one small figure—one white, one black—chased after each other throughout the entire barrier!
"So, so, so fast… I can only hear the sound."
Boruto blinked. His bright blue eyes could not see anything at all.
As for Jiraiya…
He had silently entered Sage Mode.
Only with his powerful sage sensing ability could he barely catch a glimpse or two.
As for Sasuke…
He had already uncovered the Rinnegan on his left side. The six tomoe in his eye flickered and shone together.
Only then could he barely see a little.
And even that was only the afterimages of the two.
As he watched, a strange thought suddenly emerged in his heart.
"If I were the one facing attacks at this level… could I dodge?"
Could he dodge?
The answer was obviously no…
His eyes lowered silently, and his face dimmed for an instant.
"If this is right after the night of the clan massacre… then Second Brother should still be far from adulthood right now, shouldn't he?"
"And even so, his strength has already reached this level…"
"Looking at it this way, I really am the most useless one among the three sons of the Uchiha clan head…"
He fell silent, his face somewhat pale.
The current Sasuke had already endured twenty years of wind and frost. How could he still have the proud, high-spirited appearance he once had?
The old him could not even let a passing dog go by without giving it an Amaterasu.
As for now…
Using Amaterasu a few times was enough to make him weak…
Bang!
Just as he was lamenting, the explosions above suddenly stopped.
A massive crater was smashed into the ground!
Boom, boom!
Thick smoke instantly rose.
Even the heavy rain could do nothing to disperse it.
"Cough, cough… Boruto, fall back."
Sasuke coughed while staring at the thick smoke and pulled Boruto backward.
Only after reaching the edge of the barrier did he finally stop.
Jiraiya made the same choice.
He also retreated to the edge, both eyes fixed tightly ahead without moving.
Whoosh—
Whoosh, whoosh—
A moment later, the smoke scattered, and the scene in the field clearly appeared before them.
At the very center, on the scorched black earth, the crater had grown even larger!
A round pit nearly a hundred meters wide had sunk deep into the ground.
At the center of the pit was a white figure.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
Crane Form version.
The only pity was that this crane was already weakened to an extreme degree.
The wings on his forehead had been broken.
The sharp claws beneath his feet had also been snapped, twisting at a bizarre angle.
"Cough, cough…"
He struggled to cough twice. His entire body felt as if it was burning with pain.
His internal organs had all shifted out of place!
"How… how is this possible…"
"Why… why is there a human with stronger taijutsu than my Ōtsutsuki clan?"
"This shouldn't… this absolutely shouldn't be possible!"
He struggled for a long while and roared out those words.
But the moment he opened his mouth, several mouthfuls of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs surged out violently.
He could not stop them at all.
In the end… they turned into a miserable wail.
"Ugh… cough, cough…"
The sound was so tragic that it had even become distorted from the pain.
Splash.
The rain grew heavier, drenching his body and sticking his pale-white feathers together.
He looked like a drowned chicken being plucked.
"Crane…"
Kai stepped down one golden stair after another, descending slowly. His small face carried a hint of disappointment.
"At most, you count as beggar's chicken."
As his words fell, he directly activated Pure Byakugan!
A clear, 365-degree vision with no blind spots instantly captured the chakra circulating inside Urashiki's body.
Kai's five fingers clenched sharply!
Puff, puff, puff!
In an instant, three Infinite Locks wrapped in pitch-black chakra shot out violently!
With absolute precision, they stabbed into three chakra nodes on Urashiki's body!
They nailed him firmly to the ground.
Infinite Lock.
Seal.
"Sealing Art: Suppress God!"
Pfft!
In an instant, Urashiki's swollen, towering body was like a punctured balloon, deflating instantly.
Even the feathers that had just grown out wilted by quite a bit.
Like a balloon leaking from every direction, he became as thin as a withered corpse within moments.
At this moment, Urashiki's heart finally changed.
It was no longer the fury of someone high above being blasphemed.
Nor was it the madness of humiliation.
It was—
Fear!
That was right.
Fear!
The man before him had actually surpassed instant movement in speed!
He did not dare imagine it.
He truly did not dare imagine that a human could possess such terrifying strength!
Of course, Kai did not know what he was thinking.
And even if he did, he would not say anything…
After all, he had not only used Flying Thunder God…
After waiting for a while, just as Kai thought the system still had not judged Urashiki defeated, a heavenly sound suddenly rang beside his ear.
[Ding! Ōtsutsuki Urashiki defeated. Attempting to copy trait!]
