Chapter 615: Limitless Minato
"I fucking knew it!"
Naruto was completely stunned.
He had seen Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki before.
The Ōtsutsuki clan played around with eyes, and their eyes could even appear in other places, such as the center of their palms.
It looked a little unsettling, but it was also kind of cool.
But what was going on this time?
How had Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's eye ended up there?
Actually, the reason was very simple. Compared with Jigen's body in the real shinobi world, Ichiraku's body was even worse, while Isshiki himself had been even closer to death.
With both factors combined, if Ichiraku wanted to contain Isshiki's power, the process had to be even more direct.
More importantly, hiding inside the ear was not dangerous, while hiding inside the intestinal tract meant that he would be absorbed.
With Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's constitution, he naturally would not be digested and absorbed by an ordinary human. However, the process would still occur.
Over time, the intestinal tract became the center of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's power.
The intestinal tract absorbed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's power, causing the intestinal tract to become stronger.
The stronger the intestinal tract became, the faster it could absorb Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's power.
This continued for more than a thousand years.
By now, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Ichiraku's consciousnesses had long since become inseparable.
Unlike Jigen in the real shinobi world, who was completely Isshiki's puppet, Isshiki in this world had already developed a split personality. Otherwise, he would not have become so obsessed with why Naruto was not eating ramen.
And the eye Ichiraku was revealing from below at this moment was Isshiki's dōjutsu—
"Sukunahikona!"
Ichiraku directly called out the name of the technique.
That's right. It was Isshiki's dōjutsu that could instantly shrink non-living objects, excluding himself.
Jiraiya's Big Ball Rasengan had been instantly shrunk by this technique just now.
During the Boruto era, Jiraiya's clone Koji Kashin fought Jigen, or rather Isshiki, and was defeated after giving it everything he had before fleeing.
Who would have thought that the same scene would be played out in the Engraved Tsukuyomi world as well?
But Isshiki in the Engraved Tsukuyomi world had no weakness.
He might have been mentally ill, but thanks to Ichiraku's intestines continuously absorbing his power, Ichiraku's body had already caught up. He did not need to use a Kāma to unlock Isshiki's power. He could already freely wield the power of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
There was no time limit either.
"Sexy Jutsu!"
"Reverse Harem Jutsu!"
Naruto experienced true despair for the first time and had already begun desperately throwing out random techniques in a panic.
In terms of strength, Ichiraku completely overwhelmed him.
Even if his mother, Kushina, came running over right now, she probably would not be his opponent.
After all, he was an Ōtsutsuki.
Even more despairingly, he was mentally ill. He would not listen to Naruto's talk-no-jutsu at all. Naruto could not even explain that he actually liked eating ramen.
Obviously, even if Ichiraku were not mentally ill right now, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had absolutely no interest in matters between men and women.
To Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, seeing Naruto's signature ninjutsu gave him the same feeling Naruto would have when looking at the Toads of Mount Myōboku or the dogs of the Inuzuka clan without clothes.
"Naruto, you've really disappointed me. I was originally considering whether you might have some genuine reason for doing this, but you've tried to run away and you've resisted me. That proves you really have betrayed ramen!"
Ichiraku opened his right eye and activated Daikokuten, throwing a huge black box out of it and crushing all of Naruto's shadow clones.
Naruto himself was pinned beneath Ichiraku's foot.
Now Naruto could see everything clearly.
Daikokuten's ability was similar to Kamui. It led to an independent dimension where that black box had been stored.
And the eye used to activate Daikokuten was located in Ichiraku's right eye.
No wonder Ichiraku always kept his eyes narrowed. Who would have thought that such a terrifying dōjutsu was hidden inside his eye?
As for his other eye, it was located down below.
At this point, the only thing that could deliver a fatal blow was Kakashi-Sensei's family secret technique—One Thousand Years of Death.
But Naruto's speed was nowhere near enough to catch Ichiraku. So how could he possibly stab that eye and blind it with One Thousand Years of Death right in front of Ichiraku?
"Naruto, don't be afraid! We're here!"
The reliable Namikaze Minato appeared beside Naruto, holding a kunai.
Beside him was his disheveled disciple, Kakashi.
Because Kakashi had forcibly used Kamui earlier to transfer Naruto away, he had passed out and ended up being enjoyed by Yamato for a while.
After Minato learned what had happened here, he had been entrusted with handling the crisis. He came up with a solution, but it required Kakashi's cooperation, so he went and found Kakashi.
As a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Minato put a Nine-Tails Chakra cloak around Kakashi, allowing Kakashi to regain consciousness.
"…"
Naruto felt extremely guilty.
Earlier, he had been thinking about tricking his father into having the Nine-Tails extracted and forcing Kakashi-Sensei to help him.
Now his father had brought Kakashi to rescue him.
"Dad, hurry and leave! You're no match for Ichiraku!"
Naruto shouted loudly.
He knew his father possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique and was the fastest man in the shinobi world.
But the Flying Thunder God Technique still required a formula.
To attack Ichiraku, he first had to touch him and leave his formula on him.
And more importantly, Naruto suddenly remembered that the Ōtsutsuki clan could apparently absorb ninjutsu.
If he had known this would happen, he should have spread the shortcut to Sage Mode throughout this world first.
Shiromo and the people of the Akatsuki in the real shinobi world really had the foresight.
You never know whether an accident or tomorrow will arrive first.
Naruto was filled with regret.
"Naruto, you're underestimating me too much. Do you think I could steal women right under your powerful mother's nose without having some skills?"
"You should know that the reason your mother still hasn't beaten me to death is because, to this day, she can only be certain that I'm guilty. She just can't get a shred of evidence!"
Minato proudly puffed out his chest.
It looked as though he had fired himself up, yet somehow something about it felt wrong.
"Flying Thunder God Guiding Thunder."
Minato confidently smiled as he held an explosive tag between two fingers.
The explosive tag disappeared, and the next second, a violent explosion erupted beneath Ichiraku.
"What?!"
Naruto was stunned.
When had that formula been placed there?
Could it be…
Had his dad also had a thing with Ichiraku?
Otherwise, why would he have been able to do that?
"Naruto, don't misunderstand. Although I may be a little too adventurous, I'm not so indiscriminate that I'll eat anything."
"These formulas were left behind during my 'selective eating' process!"
"I embezzled the public funds your mother gave me and used them to produce a batch of toilet paper, which I distributed free of charge to everyone in Konoha."
"Anyone who wiped with that toilet paper would have my formula imprinted on them."
"Maybe he doesn't actually need to take a dump, but if he wants to maintain appearances, sooner or later he'll symbolically wipe himself. And the moment he does, he's already fallen into my trap!"
Minato proudly explained the reason.
However, in the very next second, an unidentified object bearing the words "Sword of Ninja Love" smacked Minato right on the head with a wet smack.
Ichiraku emerged from the smoke of the explosion completely unharmed.
