The moment Sasuke and Boruto rushed into the light, everything in front of them suddenly went black, as if the whole world had vanished in an instant.
The next second, the scene that came back into view left them stunned.
They were standing in a strange place that looked unreal, like a dream. Beneath their feet was a massive platform glowing with dazzling golden light.
Looking around, they saw a vast and endless starry sky. Countless stars were scattered like jewels, shining with charming brilliance.
And those mysterious doors that flashed in and out of sight looked like entrances to unknown worlds.
At that moment, Boruto's body suddenly trembled. A strange feeling rose in his heart.
It felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed his heart tightly.
Right after that, his throat felt like it was completely blocked. No matter how hard he tried, he could not breathe.
The sudden change made Boruto lose all strength. His knees gave out, and he fell to the ground in pain.
"Ugh!"
Boruto lay there in agony, both hands clutching his chest. His face turned from pale to bluish, then to purple. Large drops of sweat slid down from his forehead.
Sasuke, standing beside him, was filled with panic, but he had no idea what had happened to Boruto.
Still, out of instinct to protect his companion, he rushed over without thinking, crouched down, and shielded Boruto with his body.
At the same time, he carefully watched their surroundings in case of any danger.
"What's wrong with you, Boruto?"
Looking at Boruto, who had suddenly collapsed and could no longer speak, Sasuke shouted anxiously.
Boruto's face was pale as paper. Sweat kept rolling down his forehead. He clutched his throat tightly, his body trembling from extreme pain.
At that moment, Urashiki, who had been using Karasuki for spacetime travel, stopped moving.
He turned his head in slight surprise and looked at Boruto and Sasuke.
"Oh? I didn't expect the two of you to follow me here."
When he saw Boruto lying on the ground in pain, a cruel and teasing smile appeared on his face.
"Oh my, look at this poor little thing. Seems like he's not doing so well."
Before he even finished speaking, a cold killing intent flashed at the corner of his mouth.
"In that case, I'll be kind and send you on your way."
With a sharp swing of his arm, the fishing rod in his hand, glowing with an eerie red light, shot out like a venomous snake.
The thin fishing line cut through the air and rushed straight toward Boruto.
At that critical moment, Sasuke did not hesitate. He drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist and slashed hard at the incoming line.
Clang!
The sword and the red glowing rod collided violently, sending out bright sparks.
But because Sasuke had lost a large amount of chakra just days ago, his body was still extremely weak.
After only a few exchanges, he could no longer keep up. Urashiki seized the chance and kicked him hard, sending him flying.
Just when everything seemed lost, Boruto suddenly felt his throat tighten.
Then came a violent gag.
"Ugh!"
A black bead shot out of his mouth. It was the very bead Naruto had forced into him before.
"Ha!"
After spitting out the bead, Boruto gasped for air like someone who had just surfaced from drowning, greedily breathing in the fresh air around him.
The moment the bead left his mouth, a huge hole suddenly tore open in the air beside it without any warning.
Then a figure shot out from the hole like lightning.
It was Uchiha Rengoku.
His appearance was so sudden that the three people present instantly widened their eyes in shock.
They could not believe that a living person had just appeared out of thin air.
But Rengoku had already anticipated what kind of situation would be here and who would be present.
So he did not hesitate for even a second. His body flashed, and with incredible speed, he reached out and grabbed Karasuki.
He had carefully planned for this moment.
When Boruto traveled through time and space, that would be his best chance to seize Karasuki. Only by using its power could he return home.
However, the instant Rengoku tightly grasped Karasuki, the once quiet device suddenly let out a harsh alarm.
["Error. Error."]
["Spacetime variable interference detected."]
["Spacetime data disorder. Attempting repair…"]
["Spacetime data disorder. Attempting repair…"]
["Spacetime data disorder. Attempting repair…"]
The sharp mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire space.
Rengoku did not know much about Karasuki. He only knew that it could travel through time and space.
As for terms like spacetime data disorder, he had no idea what they meant.
But now that the device was in his hands, he had no time to think.
He knew this was not a place to stay. Urashiki might not be top tier, but he was still a Kekkei Mora.
Without hesitation, Rengoku rushed toward the vast space beyond the platform.
He thought to himself that he would first enter any unknown space.
Once he escaped danger, he could find a way to use Karasuki safely to return home.
But at that moment, the spacetime platform suddenly began to shake violently, as if the entire world was about to overturn.
The surrounding space abruptly solidified.
Bang!
Rengoku slammed into what felt like an unbreakable wall and fell straight down.
Karasuki in his hand kept letting out sharp alarms.
["Error. Error. Spatial barrier rapidly thickening."]
["Error. Error. System intrusion detected."]
["Error. Error. System intrusion detected."]
Amid the unsettling alarms, Karasuki suddenly broke free from Rengoku's grip and shot up into the air.
"Hiss!"
Rengoku held his head and stood up with difficulty. That collision had almost given him a concussion.
He clearly remembered that the space outside had been empty.
What was this about the spatial barrier thickening?
Hearing Karasuki's announcements, Rengoku's face was filled with shock.
'What is going on? With the power of the Dragon Vein in me, leaving this place should be easy. Why am I trapped here now?'
'And what about this Karasuki? Why has it suddenly gone out of control?'
