Hovering above the clouds, Urashiki looked at the unfamiliar planet beneath his feet, his face full of confusion, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "What? Did I come to the wrong planet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Urashiki clearly sensed the dense chakra within humans appearing all over the planet.
His brows furrowed even tighter as he continued to mumble in confusion, "That's right, this planet really does have chakra!"
Urashiki just stood there in midair, looking around with a puzzled expression.
Completely unaware that a figure had already arrived silently behind him.
At that moment, a voice sounded.
"Outsider, are you looking for Isshiki and Kaguya?"
The instant he heard this voice, the usual carefree and casual expression on Urashiki's face suddenly froze.
Don't be fooled by his usual laid-back demeanor. In reality, he was extremely cautious, always wary of dying.
He had roamed the world for years and was always vigilant, yet never had anyone approached him so silently from behind without him sensing anything. A strong sense of danger instantly swept through his entire body.
In the next second, chakra around Urashiki trembled slightly as he suddenly turned around. His gaze was sharp as a blade, locking onto the direction the voice came from.
In midair, an old man with white hair and beard floated quietly. He wore a plain white robe that fluttered in the wind, and in his hand he held a completely black staff.
"You!? Who are you?", Urashiki immediately demanded coldly.
At this moment, alarm bells were already ringing wildly in Urashiki's mind. Just the fact that the other party could appear behind him without making a sound was enough to judge that this seemingly ordinary old man in white had unfathomable strength.
Urashiki steadied himself, facing the old man Arisu directly. His eyes locked onto him as he regained his composure and asked in a deep voice, "Where are Isshiki and Kaguya?"
Arisu looked at Urashiki calmly, shook his head lightly, and spoke in an indifferent tone, "Those two… their life and death are unknown…"
"Life and death unknown… oh?"
"What happened? You seem to know quite a lot. Mind telling me?"
Urashiki raised his brow, a trace of suspicion flashing in his eyes as a fake smile quickly spread across his face.
Seeing Urashiki's smile that hid a blade, Arisu's lips slowly curved into a strange smile. He stepped forward unhurriedly and said word by word, "Of course they were both killed by me~"
"Those two were really weak. I hope you can give this old man a bit of surprise."
As soon as these words came out, the fake smile on Urashiki's face froze completely. The previous playfulness and friendliness vanished without a trace.
"You lowly creature of this planet, are you prepared to welcome the arrival and punishment of my noble Otsutsuki clan?!", Otsutsuki Urashiki shouted sharply, his voice full of fury.
Hearing this, Arisu not only didn't get angry, he instead laughed.
His tone carried a condescending mockery as he slowly said, "Then you, lowly two-dimensional creature, are you ready to face the attack of a noble three-dimensional being?"
"You're the native of this world."
As his words fell, Arisu's gaze landed on Urashiki's eyes. His expression sharpened, his tone turning cold, "I'll be taking those eyes of yours."
Before his words even finished, Arisu had already appeared in front of Urashiki.
"Damn it! Time reversal!"
Caught off guard, Otsutsuki Urashiki immediately activated time reversal, trying to return to the moment he had just seen Arisu's move clearly.
However, at the very instant it activated, time reversal seemed to get stuck, completely unable to rewind.
"Why isn't it working?!"
Otsutsuki Urashiki was shocked and hurriedly retreated.
But Arisu had already reached him.
Several Truth-Seeking Balls instantly sealed off Urashiki's position.
Arisu suddenly reached out his hand...
Puch!
"Ah!"
Otsutsuki Urashiki covered his now empty left eye and staggered backward, falling from the air to the ground.
"Choosing the Monkey King Sage Art clone was the right decision. If I had chosen another sage clone, I'd probably have to drag things out with this guy for a while."
Arisu tucked Urashiki's eye into his sleeve. A portal appeared behind him, and Arisu stepped into it.
———
Bang!
Urashiki slammed heavily onto the ground covered with broken stones, landing on his left shoulder first. The pain from his left eye surged through his entire body.
"Damn it! Damn that old bastard! Why is time reversal completely useless?!"
Urashiki gritted his teeth hard and punched the ground. Broken stones scattered and splashed onto his blood-covered face. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and hatred.
"Why haven't Momoshiki and Kinshiki arrived yet? Once they get here, I'll tear you into pieces!"
Recalling the moment his left eye was forcibly gouged out, Urashiki's heart clenched with pain.
Almost instinctively, Urashiki activated his chakra and forcefully opened a spatial rift with Yomotsu Hirasaka, trying with all his strength to escape into another dimension.
He had been instantly defeated in his normal state. If he rashly entered his crane form, it would only end even worse. The only option was to hide in another dimension to temporarily avoid danger.
"I was still too late… otherwise my left eye wouldn't have fallen into that bastard's hands!"
Urashiki covered his empty eye socket, his fingers touching the warm blood, his hatred intensifying.
But just as Urashiki regained a bit of composure and tried to sense spatial fluctuations to confirm whether he was safe, the scene before him made him freeze instantly, his face full of confusion.
"Wait? Why am I still on this planet?"
"I clearly used Yomotsu Hirasaka to move to another dimension!"
Urashiki struggled to get up from the ground, staggering as he stood. He looked around at the familiar terrain of Earth, repeatedly sensing his surroundings, confirming that he had not left this planet at all.
"No need to think about it. I used my power to distort your spatial destination. From beginning to end, you never left Earth."
A cold and familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him without warning.
"Ah!?"
Urashiki suddenly turned his head. Arisu's figure floated in midair like a ghost, only a few meters away, looking at his miserable state with an indifferent gaze, as if looking at a dying insect.
"Damn it! You actually chased me here too? You persistent old bastard!"
Urashiki was completely enraged. His face twisted, his remaining right eye wide open. The intense pain from his left eye nearly drove him insane.
Arisu wasn't surprised at all. In the original story, the more desperate this guy became, the more he liked to bark.
When dealing with Boruto, he also kept spouting trash.
Urashiki suddenly swung out his red light fishing hook, aiming straight for Arisu's vital points.
Facing the incoming red light hook, Arisu didn't even bother to look. The several black Truth-Seeking Balls floating beside him instantly blocked in front like an impenetrable wall.
The red light hook struck the Truth-Seeking Balls, and the attack was easily neutralized.
With his attack failing, the panic in Urashiki's heart grew even stronger. He knew Arisu's speed and strength far surpassed his own and didn't dare hesitate for even a moment.
He hurriedly took out a black square box from his robe and roared, "Time Freeze!"
The box instantly released dense white smoke, spreading rapidly in all directions!
In the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped Arisu's figure. The surrounding space also formed faint icy patterns, as if time itself had been forcibly frozen.
"Cough, cough… old bastard, once you're caught in my time freeze, just sleep in this Dragon Palace for ten thousand years!"
