—Tensubo Purple Light Dragon, Ryūgū!
A giant oarfish floated into the air, spewing out a purple-white "Ryūgū" from its mouth, attempting to overturn the rules with its power!
Toneri slowly raised his arm and pressed it against the space. The space quickly responded, and the originally transparent wall became faintly visible, with a golden shield blocking Toneri's way.
Buzz...
The Ryūgū slammed into the shield, unleashing a torrent of violent energy. The scattered air currents, carrying the chaotic Chakra, rushed outwards, and the ground seemed to be constructed with an invisible chessboard.
Toneri and Urashiki stood on opposite sides, like two lonely kings facing each other. However, Urashiki was all alone, while Toneri had thousands of troops fighting alongside him!
Urashiki could also see the overwhelming aura of his opponent; every blade of grass and every tree around him could be a piece, a soldier, or a weapon!
As Toneri raised his hand again, all the visible plants around him sprang up from the ground, as if confirming Urashiki's guess.
The grass roots and flowers, imbued with a special radiance, all rushed toward Urashiki from all directions with extraordinary power!
——Tensubo Red Light Ball!
Urashiki held the fishing rod upright in front of him, poured Chakra into his palm as if pouring it out, and then the grass roots hit the surface of the red light shield, causing an explosion!
Rumble—
The shattered grass roots were broken into countless pieces, and these fragments of grass still rushed towards the protective shield like soldiers going to their deaths.
boom…
boom…
Another explosion occurred, and the ground where Urashiki was located caved in deeply, but he managed to withstand the attack while hiding inside the red orb.
The fishing rod already has minor cracks, which will make repairing it more complicated.
Urashiki wasn't surprised by the damage to the fishing rod; after all, it had withstood Boruto's attacks before, and now it finally couldn't take it anymore and began to break down.
Seeing that there were no usable tools around, Urashiki breathed a sigh of relief, casually twirled his fishing rod, and quickly lifted it to approach Toneri.
Toneri's brow twitched. He gently plucked a thin strand of hair from the top of his head, which glowed with a special light within the "Myriad Forms" domain. He then used the strand of hair to block Urashiki's slash!
Clang—!
The heavy clanging of steel assaulted the eardrums, and thicker dust billowed up all around. Toneri used a strand of hair to slash at Urashiki's wrist from the fishing rod.
With the enhancement of the domain, the hair serves the same purpose as a close-range weapon; if cut by the hair, it might actually sever Urashiki's hand.
Realizing the crisis, Urashiki abandoned the stalemate and retreated through Yomotsu Hirasaka.
Seizing the opportunity, Toneri waved his hand, causing the surrounding dust to launch another attack.
Urashiki was horrified. Without hesitation, he activated the red orb, but his opponent seized the opportunity to launch an even more ferocious attack.
He quickly closed in on Urashiki, seamlessly transitioning to his position the instant the smoke attack ended. He held a single strand of hair in his hand, strong enough to bend in the wind, and kept Urashiki from lowering his guard.
Ding ding dong...
Under the relentless barrage of blows from Toneri, cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the red orb, and it was estimated that it would shatter soon.
Just as Urashiki gritted his teeth, preparing to clash head-on with Toneri, he saw Toneri rub several Truth-Seeking Orbs into the shape of arrows with one hand.
Urashiki swallowed hard. If even a small blade of grass could unleash explosive power with the aid of his domain, then what about the incredibly hard Truth-Seeking Orbs…?
He couldn't even imagine what the rest was like!
Ninja World is terrifying. He wants to go home. He doesn't care if his people laugh at him for being a coward. He can't bear the blow to his mental state.
For someone as proud and arrogant as him, nothing is more painful than throwing his pride to the ground and then repeatedly crushing it with the sole of his shoe.
—Heavenly Waves Surge, Rain Breaks, the Dragon Soars!
Urashiki immediately became ruthless, and a red light flashed with a different kind of brilliance. A royal oarfish swooped down from the void, its target Toneri.
Seeing this, Toneri took the initiative to break Urashiki's red light sphere, then shot a strand of hair into Urashiki's heart, causing an explosion!
boom--!!
The oarfish finally crashed onto the Truth-Seeking Orb shield that Toneri had conjured, creating an energy surge. The terrifying fluctuations stirred up the invisible domain, allowing Urashiki to find a breakthrough.
——Yomotsu Hirasaka!
Urashiki seized the opportunity and immediately left the moon, vowing never to return.
His heart is broken, and he will probably die if he doesn't find a vessel or catch enough Chakra with a fishing rod.
The rumbling explosions finally subsided, and the aftershocks, carried by the detonator, swept into the sky, eventually detonating and tearing open the moon's surface.
From Ninja World's perspective, it was as if a bright light suddenly appeared on the moon, but it only lasted for a brief moment and therefore did not attract much attention.
Toneri sighed and waved his hand, causing the surrounding ground to move automatically and fill the huge pit.
He then returned to the chessboard, put it back, and silently put the black piece that had been removed back in.
"As expected, Ōtsutsuki are not to be underestimated. This is probably the second time he has escaped. I am really useless."
Toneri shook his head helplessly, feeling extremely guilty.
...
Ninja World.
Inside Orochimaru's temporarily open laboratory, the ostentatious decorations and various sophisticated, technologically advanced instruments immediately give the impression that Orochimaru's technology is incredibly advanced.
As a result, prominent figures from the five major villages have come to visit, ostensibly to observe Orochimaru's technological level.
In fact, each visitor left behind a vial of reagents, willingly and personally handing over the precious secret of their Bloodline Limits to Orochimaru for research.
Before leaving, it's better to flatter Orochimaru, hoping to achieve results soon and accelerate his cultivation.
This left Sasuke, who was hiding in the shadows and responsible for guarding Orochimaru's safety, completely stunned. He knew all too well that Orochimaru was as disgusting as a rat in the sewers and was conducting all sorts of heinous experiments.
Unexpectedly, the major ninja villages have come to Orochimaru to provide research materials, and various experimental funds and equipment have also been tilted towards Orochimaru.
This greatly displeased Konoha's other scientist, Katasuke Tōno, because his experimental funding had been severely reduced in recent days and was no longer sufficient to support his experimental research on Scientific Ninja Tools.
Therefore, harboring resentment, he personally visited Orochimaru.
"Truly worthy of Lord Orochimaru, the most brilliant scientific researcher in Ninja World."
Visitors from a certain country were enthusiastically flattering him.
Orochimaru simply laughed it off, stating that his research had an extremely high success rate and virtually no chance of making mistakes. He added that he would definitely have Ninja deliver the results to them once they were available.
The visitor from another country grinned even wider, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then walked out of the laboratory with great enthusiasm.
When Katasuke Tōno arrived near the laboratory, his mouth dropped open in astonishment. A long queue stretched as far as the eye could see in front of the laboratory.
"Isn't that outrageous? Orochimaru has figured out an elixir of immortality?"
Upon seeing Katasuke Tōno, Orochimaru's assistant appeared before him in an instant and said, "I have long admired your name, Mr. Katasuke Tōno, the genius scientist of Konoha."
Katasuke, quite self-aware, quipped, "Don't flatter me. My experimental achievements are far inferior to Orochimaru's. I've come here to ask him for advice."
But the assistant said, "Don't think that way. It's just that you two are researching in different directions. Lord Orochimaru just achieved results a step ahead of you. If you succeed in your research in the future, your achievements will be no less than Orochimaru's."
Katasuke Tōno's eyes gradually brightened as he listened, and the gloom that had been building up dissipated.
The assistant raised his hand and said, "Please, with your intelligence and wisdom, you will surely become Orochimaru's best right-hand man. It would be a powerful combination!"
Katasuke seemed to be tempted as well, following him into Orochimaru's laboratory, the calls along the way subtly changing with his steps.
In a daze, he could hear in his ears,
"Katasuke Tōno is a genius! Katasuke Tōno, your achievements are immeasurable!"
