Inoshiki's eyes turned completely crimson.
At this moment, after devouring Watanabe's chakra, his body had fully recovered to its peak condition.
Ōtsutsuki Yamamoto roared angrily, "Inoshiki, you—!"
Inoshiki turned his head and shouted back furiously, "Shut up! What use is that trash? It's better to sacrifice him! If I didn't recover just now, do you think I could still fight these two?!"
Inoshiki's roar stunned Yamamoto into silence.
He knew Inoshiki was right.
Watanabe, whose chakra had already been drained, was nothing but a burden now. Instead of letting the enemy absorb his remaining bloodline power, it was far better to use him to restore Inoshiki's combat strength.
Ōtsutsuki Ono and Ōtsutsuki Kashiwazaki stepped forward at the same time, guarding Inoshiki from both sides.
"Captain," Yamamoto said in a low voice, "tell us how to fight."
Inoshiki's gaze sharpened.
"You three hold off that low-level creature," he said coldly. "I'll deal with Urashiki. I'll kill him myself."
With that, Inoshiki burst forward, charging straight toward Urashiki.
Naruto instinctively moved to intervene, but Urashiki raised his hand to stop him.
"No," Urashiki said calmly. "Since he wants to fight me, I'll accompany him. It's perfect timing—I also want to see how strong I've become now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Urashiki shot forward as well.
Inoshiki roared, "Urashiki! Come on!"
Urashiki raised his hand and gripped his crimson fishing rod tightly. He snorted coldly.
"Inoshiki, you're no longer my opponent."
"How shameless!!!"
Inoshiki roared. A black chakra rod instantly formed in his hand, and he swung it horizontally with overwhelming force.
Urashiki did not collide head-on. Instead, he flicked his fishing rod forward. The crimson fishing line wrapped around the black rod in an instant. Urashiki yanked backward violently, gripping the rod with both hands and locking it in place.
"You think you can pull me away?!"
Inoshiki extended his free hand, the Rinnegan spinning violently in his palm. A terrifying suction force erupted, instantly enveloping Urashiki.
Urashiki remained calm. He activated his strongest form directly.
Six magatama-patterned Rinnegan appeared clearly.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
While being dragged forward, Urashiki opened a spatial rift in front of him and slipped through it instantly.
Inoshiki snorted coldly and subconsciously raised his guard behind him.
Bang!
Urashiki's crimson fishing rod struck from behind.
Both were Ōtsutsuki, and Inoshiki was extremely familiar with Urashiki's abilities.
This technique allowed Urashiki to freely shuttle between dimensions, constantly teleporting through multiple spatial realms. It could shorten attack distance, disrupt an opponent's rhythm, launch surprise attacks, and also serve as an evasive maneuver against powerful techniques.
Seeing his attack blocked, Urashiki instantly vanished again.
Inoshiki sneered.
"Urashiki, do you think you're the only one who can travel through space?"
As he spoke, the Rinnegan in Inoshiki's left eye rotated violently. A spatial tunnel opened in front of him, and he chased Urashiki directly into another dimension.
On the other side.
Naruto looked at the three Ōtsutsuki standing before him and grinned.
"Really? You left three people for me? Good… very good."
The moment he finished speaking, Naruto attacked.
With a sharp hum, he appeared in front of the three in less than a second.
"Block!"
Ōtsutsuki Yamamoto roared and rushed forward, standing at the front. The three immediately formed a defensive barrier.
Naruto whipped out a powerful kick.
Boom!
The barrier trembled violently.
"Interesting," Naruto said with a faint smile.
He retreated a step and formed a hand seal.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Two shadow clones appeared instantly, leaving Naruto facing them one-on-one.
"That makes things fairer."
Yamamoto's teeth clenched. This monster was far too strong.
The three Narutos attacked simultaneously, each strike unleashed with full force.
The barrier formed by Yamamoto and the others shook violently. Naruto's raw power was terrifying—this defensive formation couldn't hold out for long.
Ōtsutsuki Ono spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Yamamoto!" Kashiwazaki shouted in panic. "Think of something! We can't keep resisting like this—we'll be震死 sooner or later!"
Yamamoto's heart sank.
When Inoshiki ordered the three of them to hold Naruto back, he already knew it was nearly impossible.
This was the man who had killed Momoshiki and Kinshiki and absorbed the bloodline power of multiple Ōtsutsuki. With their current strength, trapping him was nothing more than wishful thinking.
They weren't hunters anymore.
They were prey.
Naruto clearly sensed their weakening resolve. He decided to end it quickly.
The three shadow clones retreated instantly. Naruto then created two more shadow clones.
Five Narutos formed a three-dimensional pyramid formation—four at the base and one at the apex.
All five formed hand seals simultaneously.
A crimson barrier deployed instantly, sealing the space.
Yamamoto's expression changed drastically.
"Not good—we're sealed!"
The original Naruto focused. Another shadow clone entered the barrier, and Naruto began compressing chakra between his palms.
A Tailed Beast Ball formed rapidly.
Ōtsutsuki Ono stared at the ever-expanding chakra sphere in horror.
"Yamamoto, stop him!"
Yamamoto rushed forward desperately, but the shadow clone Naruto smiled faintly and flew straight toward the three.
"Hah!"
Naruto roared coldly.
The Tailed Beast Ball detonated instantly.
Boom!!!
There was no sound in the vacuum of space, but the destructive force was absolute. The crimson barrier expanded violently, bulging outward like an overfilled sphere.
From the outside, it looked as if space itself were swelling.
The three Ōtsutsuki attempted to reinforce their defense, but it was futile.
The barrier shattered.
All three were blown back, their bodies severely injured.
"Hahaha!" Naruto laughed. "Just give me your power and stop struggling!"
Yamamoto spat blood and roared, "In your dreams!!!"
At that moment, spatial fluctuations erupted nearby.
Urashiki and Inoshiki emerged from the different dimension, both bearing injuries. The battle between them had clearly been brutal.
Inoshiki's injuries were far worse.
Urashiki licked the wound on his arm and sneered.
"I didn't expect the elders to give you such a divine artifact. Hmph. Without it, I'd have taken you down already."
Inoshiki gasped heavily and glanced at Yamamoto and the others. In his current state, there was no chance of turning the tables.
No… this couldn't end here.
Inoshiki made a final decision.
He opened the Rinnegan in his left eye and twisted it toward Naruto's barrier.
With a sharp sound, a hole tore open in the barrier.
In the same instant, Inoshiki appeared beside Yamamoto.
Urashiki's eyes widened.
"So ruthless."
Naruto frowned.
"What happened?"
Urashiki replied, "He sacrificed one Rinnegan. He forcibly broke through everything and teleported."
Naruto was startled.
The Ōtsutsuki had a technique similar to the Uchiha's Izanagi—sacrificing an eye in exchange for survival.
Yamamoto supported Inoshiki in shock.
"Captain… you…"
Inoshiki shoved him aside, pressed his palm onto Ono's head, and panted.
"No time to explain. Give me your power! Otherwise, we all die here!"
He began absorbing immediately.
But Ono was still a main-family Ōtsutsuki, and Inoshiki was weakened after sacrificing his Rinnegan.
"I won't—why—AAAAAHHH—!"
Ono screamed.
He looked toward Yamamoto in disbelief.
Yamamoto clenched his teeth… and helped Inoshiki refine Ono.
A chakra fruit formed.
Blood-red, like a peach.
Inoshiki swallowed it instantly, his eyes blazing with excitement.
Kashiwazaki pointed at Yamamoto in fury.
"Yamamoto! You actually—!"
Before he could finish, Inoshiki attacked him.
"Come here—you too. Give me your power!"
But Naruto struck first.
While Inoshiki was refining Ono, Naruto and Urashiki moved simultaneously.
Yamamoto blocked Urashiki's attack.
But Naruto slipped through.
"He's my food."
A gigantic chakra hand seized Kashiwazaki. Naruto pulled him in, grabbed his neck with one hand, and sealed him instantly.
Seeing this, Inoshiki's heart sank.
He immediately opened a spatial rift with his remaining Rinnegan and escaped.
Urashiki finished off Yamamoto.
The two glanced at the fleeing Inoshiki.
They knew—he had escaped.
There was no stopping him now.
So they turned back.
Naruto and Urashiki each refined the Ōtsutsuki they held.
"AAAAAAHHHH—!"
This time, Naruto and Urashiki each obtained chakra pills and chakra fruits, preparing for the battles yet to come.
