The entire Grand Arena exploded with energy, as if a firestorm was about to consume the very air!
"Capture the Otsutsuki alive!"
"Tie him down as a slave!"
The scattered thousand paper cranes gathered together, forming Urashiki's figure in the sky. Gone was his usual calm composure—now he glared down at the crowd with intense fury. "Don't think for a second that sheer numbers can defeat me! No matter how many ants you throw at me, they're still just ants. They pose no threat to an eagle soaring in the sky! From now on, not one of you will land another hit on me!"
The crowd, however, simply scoffed.
"Not let us land another hit? What nonsense!"
"There are so many of us here—we'll hit you somehow no matter what!"
Urashiki regained his composure and calmly descended from the sky. "All your attacks are in vain before my Dojutsu, which sees through the future!"
"An exclusive ability of the Rinnegan?" Those who had already witnessed the terror of Madara's Wheel Release felt a chill run through their spines. "Is he about to show off his power too?"
This time, Urashiki didn't use Shinra Tensei. Instead, he faced his enemies with only his Fishing Rod, skillfully maneuvering within a small area using light, nimble steps.
Surprisingly, he seemed to anticipate every attack—dodging each strike with perfect timing, while those attacking him were sent flying one after another.
"How is this possible? How did he do that?"
"He doesn't even seem like a Taijutsu master. How can his body reflexes be this sharp?"
Hearing the confusion in the crowd, Urashiki kindly explained, "Because I chose the most favorable future for myself from dozens of possible timelines!"
Even Seiki's pupils slightly contracted. "Choosing the most favorable future for yourself?"
Others were even more stunned, breaking into murmurs of disbelief.
"His Dojutsu lets him see the future?"
"Can he really do something like that?"
"See the future?" Urashiki smiled and shook his head slightly. [Time Reversion]—I clearly know everything each of you will do next!"
Many couldn't help but feel fear. He can actually revert time—wasn't that even more terrifying than predicting the future?
Urashiki burst into loud laughter. "Now do you understand the gap between us? Before these eyes, you have absolutely no chance!"
In the midst of the heavy silence, a regular man stepped forward. "Then let's create more variables for the future, so he can't possibly account for all those possible timelines!"
Up until now, the fighters who had joined the battle were mainly Chunin, Jonin, Genin, and ordinary civilians who remained on the sidelines. Many recognized the speaker.
"Isn't that Teuchi, you know, the owner of Ichiraku Ramen?"
"What does Teuchi mean by that?"
Teuchi shouted loudly, "Our strength might be weak, but our power isn't! Even if we're just pitching in with a few stones from the edge of the battlefield, as long as we're part of this, we can still create a new future!"
"If he can pick the best future out of a few thousand people, what happens when it's tens of thousands—or even a hundred thousand?"
"Numbers are our greatest weapon!"
Hearing this, the crowd remaining in the stands became excited.
Compared to Jonin and Chunin, they - the commoners and Genin - were by far the largest group.
They might not be fighters, but they could definitely reduce Urashiki's chances of hitting his target just by sheer numbers!
Urashiki's expression finally changed. If they really followed that civilian's suggestion, the workload for his Time Reversion would increase dramatically.
Even worse, these people might go find more reinforcements, increasing their numbers to millions!
By then, he might wear himself out to death before even identifying the most favorable future!
Thinking this, Urashiki quickly made a decision: "Kill some of the civilians, so they won't even dare to approach the battlefield's edge!"
[Otsutsuki Teleportation]!
Urashiki opened a spatial portal, escaping the crowd, and instantly appeared above the civilians.
"Die..."
However, before he could make a move, everything blurred, and he suddenly found himself standing before Minato.
From the perspective of everyone else, it looked like Urashiki and the Raikage had suddenly swapped positions.
The Raikage appeared mid-air, pulled downward by gravity as he fell, his face darkening. "Not again, damn it!"
"Teleportation!" Boruto clenched his fist excitedly. "I get it now! Uncle, your weakness was just an act to fool Urashiki! I'm right, aren't I?"
He turned around eagerly, only to see middle-aged Sasuke slumped on the ground, completely drained of strength.
[Confused face]
Elsewhere.
Though they hadn't coordinated beforehand, Minato immediately understood what was happening. He rushed forward and "touched" multiple areas on Urashiki's body!
Since even the Raikage's attack hadn't caused any real damage to the enemy, Minato naturally didn't intend to attack. Instead, he seized the opportunity to leave his signature mark on Urashiki!
Urashiki got goosebumps from Minato's actions and instinctively used Shinra Tensei to repel him.
"You're sick!" Urashiki cursed, clearly annoyed, then quickly resumed his previous plan.
But just as he teleported back using Otsutsuki Teleportation, Minato instantly reappeared beside him and took him away.
[Flying Thunder God Technique]!
Urashiki immediately understood. This bastard hadn't been groping him earlier but had actually marked him with the Flying Thunder God Technique Form!
"Damn it!" Urashiki silently cursed the other's cunning. If it were just one marking, he could simply cut away that part of skin, or even sever his limbs!
The problem, however, was that Minato Namikaze had touched him from head to toe. Was he supposed to cut off his entire body?!
"Hmph, looks like I'll have to act before he can react! Hmph, what's the neural response speed of an ordinary human without Kekkei anyway?"
Urashiki unleashed Shinra Tensei, then at maximum speed teleported into the crowd. Before he could even start acting, Minato took him away again.
"Damn it! How is this guy's reaction so fast?!"
Refusing to believe it, Urashiki kept trying, but each time he teleported away, Minato would instantly teleport him back. After several repetitions, he finally lost his temper.
"Ahh! This is so annoying! I'll kill you first!
However, Minato refused to engage him in direct combat.
When the opponent also wielded spatial abilities—and handled them even more skillfully—Urashiki could do absolutely nothing against Minato!
In the end, the battlefield reverted back to how it had originally been.
Urashiki was surrounded and pursued by tens of thousands of Chunin and Jonin. He wanted to use Time Reversion, but couldn't see through the future due to too many variables!
Unable to endure any longer, Urashiki finally snapped.
"You wretched vermin! You've forced me into this corner! Unforgivable! Utterly unforgivable!"
Seemingly having fallen into darkness, after this outburst, Urashiki erupted into maniacal laughter, then swallowed the red-light fishing basket hanging at his waist.
"Not enough... Still not enough!"
Saying this, he tore his own eyes from their sockets and gnashed them violently between his teeth.
The next moment, a crack split his forehead open, and a golden Rinnegan revealed itself!
