"What's wrong with them? Why do they all seem to know you?"
Seeing these people call out Momoshiki's name, Furina was particularly surprised, but also nervous, subconsciously hugging the Ten-Tails tighter.
Two of them were hostile, and one called Momoshiki "senior." It seemed the situation was very wrong.
Momoshiki wasn't fully revived yet. Could he defeat those two dangerous-looking guys?
[Phew...]
[See that pineapple head? And that guy who's completely covered in "trying to look cool"? Those two are the ones who beat me into this state.]
[Of course, there were others, but they're not here.]
"Huh?!!"
Hearing that they were the ones who had beaten Momoshiki into this state, Furina was instantly dumbfounded.
Momoshiki in the Kamui Dimension rubbed his temples, gritting his teeth slightly.
There was no time to think about why the teleportation destination wasn't a planet but this kind of space. Now, many memories and hatred related to Momoshiki Otsutsuki surged up.
Sasuke... Boruto... the fox's son... hateful lower lifeforms... insects... kill... die!!
A pile of strange hatred values constantly swirled in his mind, like resentment from the depths of his memory and personality, wanting the current Momoshiki to flay these two alive.
"Wait! That guy... that guy is holding...!!"
Sasuke instantly froze after clearly seeing what Furina was holding.
What is that thing? A mini Ten-Tails?!
"How is that possible! Where did you get the Ten-Tails!" Sasuke shouted in disbelief, gripping his Kusanagi Sword, ready for battle at any moment.
"Whoa!"
Furina was startled, inadvertently taking a step back, which caused the Ten-Tails to sense hostility and let out a fierce, baby-like growl at Sasuke.
Boruto, who was protected behind him, curiously scrutinized the wailing Ten-Tails, raising an eyebrow.
"This guy... uh... actually looks quite cute. Why are you so nervous?"
Not to mention Boruto hadn't seen this kind of Ten-Tails, it seemed no one in the entire ninja world had seen such a cute Ten-Tails. It was not only adorably silly but also seemed very easy to bully.
"Be careful! Don't be fooled by its appearance!" Sasuke glared back at Boruto. The combination of his Sharingan and Rinnegan looked very imposing.
"Oh my~"
Urashiki twirled the fishing rod in his hand, resting it on his shoulder, his eyes filled with admiration mixed with an inexplicable feeling.
"It seems I missed a lot of good drama~ I didn't expect Senior Momoshiki to even get such a special Ten-Tails."
"Just feel the aura of life force remaining in its mouth. So rich and powerful, it must have devoured a planet, right~"
"What?!"
Hearing Urashiki say this, Boruto was also startled, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"Devoured a planet?!"
[Phew...]
Momoshiki let out another long breath, successfully suppressing the inexplicable hatred.
He thought he could finally have some peace, but another wave of hatred surged in his heart.
How dare you poke my eyeball with a kunai! How dare you hit me with a Rasengan!
Momoshiki: "..."
He couldn't take it anymore. If this continued, he would be driven insane by these two memories and personalities.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind, but before he could do anything, a blur flashed past Furina's eyes.
At this time, Sasuke discovered that Furina seemed to have an individual consciousness, not like she was possessed, and her eyes were innocent and pure. She might be a good breakthrough point, so he launched a probing attack, while observing the Ten-Tails' reaction.
Things went exactly as he thought. He rushed fiercely towards Furina, his Kusanagi Sword almost slashing her neck, but she still didn't react.
But suddenly, the Ten-Tails sharply raised its head, spitting out a small compressed chakra energy blast, which violently struck Sasuke's chest.
With a bang, Sasuke flew straight back like a cannonball. Boruto quickly ran forward, trying to catch Sasuke, but they were both sent sprawling.
The two almost fell off the platform because of this. Fortunately, Sasuke recovered in time, grabbing Boruto with one hand and the edge with the other, and swung back around.
"Ugh..."
Boruto rubbed his aching head. Before he could clearly see the scene in front of him, a fishhook was flung over.
Urashiki didn't give the two a chance to breathe, swinging his fishhook while engaging in close combat.
He didn't know what he was thinking. He was clearly a squishy mage, invincible as long as he played it safe and collected chakra, yet he insisted on getting up close and personal to take a beating.
Sure enough, as soon as he charged over, he got entangled with Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword, and then, in a moment of carelessness, he was kicked in the face.
"They're fighting, fighting, fighting!!"
The scene of flashing blades and swords made Furina quickly shrink into a corner, tightly hugging the Ten-Tails and facing the group.
Boruto, holding a kunai, also rushed up, constantly interfering with Urashiki from various angles to create opportunities for Sasuke to attack.
Currently, both of their chakra reserves were very low, so they tried their best to avoid a clash of ninjutsu. Urashiki also dramatically didn't use ninjutsu with them, nor did he try to fish for their chakra; he just took the beating head-on.
[Are you just going to watch like this?]
"But they're so scary, I don't dare to go..."
Furina buried her head behind the Ten-Tails, her body trembling slightly.
If they weren't the ones who defeated Momoshiki, then Furina would have gone up to touch them a couple of times. But since even Momoshiki was defeated, she, who was useless at everything, shouldn't go up and feed them experience points.
[Alas... their power has been greatly depleted, but their combat experience is indeed richer than yours. Relax your body, let me take over.]
Momoshiki sighed slightly, possessing Furina.
Momoshiki didn't know who to help now, but given the current situation, standing with Urashiki was definitely the easiest choice.
After all, they were on the same side, even if they were villains, and he knew from his shifty eyes that he wasn't planning anything good. But since he had been beaten to that state, he definitely wouldn't do anything to him.
Having figured it out, Momoshiki molded a Crimson Spiral and charged forward.
Sasuke occasionally observed Furina during the battle. When he saw her body covered in patterns and Momoshiki's aura growing stronger, he knew something was about to happen.
Sure enough, a crimson orb instantly appeared right in his face.
Sasuke, who was prepared, immediately used Body Flicker to dodge, then appeared behind Momoshiki, intending to slash him fiercely with his Kusanagi Sword, but he cut through empty air.
The Kusanagi Sword passed through Momoshiki's body as if it hadn't touched anything.
Phasing!
This was Sasuke's thought for a split second, but time didn't give him any chance to think. Momoshiki turned around and directly kicked Sasuke in the stomach, sending him flying high into the air with violent force.
"Ugh..."
Sasuke violently spat out a mouthful of blood. The sudden intense pain caused temporary paralysis.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Momoshiki then threw the Crimson Spiral, aiming directly at Boruto.
Boruto, who had just dodged Urashiki's attack, hadn't reacted before he took this hit to the face, spinning in the air, then his cheek scraped the ground.
Okay! The grudge of being sneak-attacked and smashed in the face by an invisible Rasengan was successfully repaid.
"I didn't expect Senior Momoshiki's strength hasn't weakened much~"
Urashiki still smiled meaningfully, then seemed to remember his own abilities. He swung his fishing rod, instantly piercing Sasuke, who had just crashed to the ground.
He dragged him to his feet like a dead fish.
Sasuke didn't have much chakra left. He had almost depleted it before coming to this space, so hooking him out now was a bit of a waste.
Urashiki unceremoniously lifted his foot and stomped it fiercely on Sasuke's chest.
"Damn lower lifeform! How dare you obstruct me repeatedly! This will make you realize your place!"
Urashiki said fiercely, stomping on Sasuke's chest, seemingly wanting to vent all the beatings he had taken during this time.
Boruto, struggling to stand up not far away, immediately got angry at the scene in front of him. He fiercely threw a kunai, intending to pierce Urashiki.
But the kunai was caught by a hand wearing a black glove as soon as it flew out.
Momoshiki played with the kunai in his hand with some interest.
You know, the craftsmanship was good, and it was quite heavy. The pointed part was exceptionally sharp. If this were sold online, wouldn't it fetch a few hundred?
"Tsk..."
Seeing the kunai easily caught, Boruto frowned. His naive style kicked in, and he directly charged over, intending to punch him, but was easily grabbed.
"Punch me? What are you thinking?"
Momoshiki raised an eyebrow, and with a slight exertion of force, directly pinned Boruto to the ground.
"Ugh..."
Boruto struggled desperately on the ground, but Momoshiki exerted a little more force, making him unable to move.
A pain like dislocation came from his wrist and arm joints, which made him unable to even make a simple movement.
"Huh? Why did he subdue them so easily?"
Furina blinked in a daze.
No way? Even if they lost a lot of power, they shouldn't be defeated so easily, right? It felt like no one was even trying.
Please, this makes me look so stupid hiding in the corner!
The Ten-Tails, thrown into the corner, was equally bewildered.
It had been continuously condensing a compressed chakra ball in its mouth, constantly trying to aim at Boruto or Sasuke, but the battle ended so simply, making it feel perverted, like it was playing bondage with a gag the whole time.
"Ugh!"
The Ten-Tails swallowed the chakra ball in one gulp, and slammed the ground in dissatisfaction.
Momoshiki squeezed Boruto's wrist, then lifted him and slammed him onto the ground.
With a bang, Boruto fell to the ground, his consciousness hazy, seeing stars.
In a daze, he felt a high heel step on his face, accompanied by the scent of Lumidouce Bell.
"Lower lifeform!"
Momoshiki also said with satisfaction.
Finally! Finally! Finally, his great revenge was exacted!
"How does it feel to be smashed to dust by such a large Rasengan, and to be trampled underfoot?!"
As he was speaking, Urashiki, seeing Sasuke motionless, thought he was dead, and in a moment of brain-deadness, reeled in his fishing line.
In an instant, Sasuke's Rinnegan moved.
Space flashed, and Boruto, who should have been trampled underfoot, suddenly turned into a bewildered Urashiki.
The dazed Boruto fell to the ground. Sasuke, holding his Kusanagi Sword, charged fiercely, intending to sneak attack while the two were stunned.
At the critical moment, another "Sasuke" appeared in front of Sasuke's blade.
Before he could react, the blade cut a gash in "Sasuke's" back.
At the same time, a gash also appeared on Sasuke's back. The pain caused his attack direction to shift, and he was kicked in the face by Momoshiki, sent flying on the spot.
It turned out that Momoshiki had used the power of his new Rinnegan to pull a past Sasuke, using space transfer to block the current Sasuke's attack.
The moment Sasuke was kicked away, with a bang, Sasuke turned into a puff of white smoke.
At the same time, a cold light flashed before his eyes.
Time Freeze!
...
"It seems my experience is still insufficient. I didn't even see through this little trick."
Momoshiki sighed, looking at the Kusanagi Sword that had almost stabbed him in the eye.
Boruto, who had been dazed and unconscious, had already gotten up at some point, his hands forming a hand seal.
The Sasuke who first launched the sneak attack was actually a fake clone, but he didn't expect that due to time projection, it had harmed the real Sasuke.
But even so, it didn't disrupt their plan. Using the fake to distract and relax their guard, the real Sasuke launched a sneak attack the moment the smoke appeared.
Their coordination was truly tacit.
Momoshiki gripped the Kusanagi Sword with one hand, moved it aside, and walked lightly to Sasuke's side. He reached out and directly grabbed his neck, throwing him backward with force.
Time Freeze ended, and Sasuke, with a bewildered expression, directly slammed into Boruto.
Familiar recipe, familiar taste. Boruto was once again sent sprawling.
