The blue Rasengan struck Urashiki’s chest with full force. The intense tearing power made him instinctively let go of Sasuke’s neck. But in the blink of an eye, he reacted—his red Rinnegan gleamed, and a powerful force surged forward.
With Minato’s mastery of the Flying Raijin, appearing, attacking in an instant, and then teleporting away with Sasuke right after—this level of space-time movement was nothing for him.
So Urashiki’s attack completely missed.
Beside Naruto, Minato and Sasuke reappeared at the same time. Minato held Sasuke, dressed in an Anbu uniform with a mask covering his face. But if one looked closely through the eye holes of the mask, they would notice a faint trace of orange eyeshadow.
Minato could also use Sage Mode.
Seeing Minato appear, Naruto immediately stepped forward to check Sasuke’s condition, his face filled with concern.
"What could happen?" Sasuke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his purple Sharingan locking onto Minato. "Uncle Minato, did you leave the mark?"
"Yeah." Minato nodded slightly and turned to look at Urashiki. His tone carried an unintentional killing intent. "As long as the Flying Raijin mark is there, it won’t disappear even if I die. No matter where he runs, I can catch him."
What could be said about the Flying Raijin technique?
It’s just a total cheat. If nothing else, the fact that the mark couldn’t be erased was already completely broken.
In the original story, Minato left a mark on Obito’s back on the night of the Nine-Tails attack. Even after Minato died, the mark remained for sixteen years. During the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Minato was resurrected by Edo Tensei, he could still use it to ambush Obito.
If Obito hadn’t become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and used his overwhelming power to break the mark, it probably would have stayed until he died.
Urashiki was strong, but he was nowhere near the level of a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. He didn’t have that kind of raw power to erase the mark. So even if Isshiki himself stepped in, he wouldn’t be able to remove it.
"Checkmate," Kurama said, landing beside them, grinning as he looked at Urashiki.
At that moment, Urashiki glanced at the wound on his chest and became furious once more. He completely ignored the Flying Raijin mark etched into his skin and glared at Minato with a twisted, furious expression.
"You lowly creature! How dare you do this to me?!"
He was really, truly angry now.
When he was sealed by Naruto, he was angry, but since Uzumaki Naruto’s very existence had essentially become part of the Ōtsutsuki lineage, he could somewhat accept it.
When he was beaten down by Sasuke, he was angry, but since Uchiha Sasuke had also become something beyond human limits, an existence almost akin to the Ōtsutsuki, he could force himself to tolerate it.
After all, he had been mocked by other Ōtsutsuki members countless times before. Even Kinshiki, who was just a guardian, dared to talk back to him. And Momoshiki? That arrogant bastard looked down on everyone.
So even though he was pissed, his anger toward Sasuke and Naruto was more about frustration than actual rage.
But Minato was different. Minato was a pure, lowly creature—an insignificant being, nothing more than an ant in Urashiki’s eyes.
And this mere ant had actually wounded him?
Imagine a normal person walking down the street, and suddenly, an ant crawls onto their leg. They might find it amusing at first.
But what if that ant actually bites them?
Would they mercifully assume the ant was just hungry and gently place it back on the ground?
Or would they grumble about how annoying it was and instantly crush it?
Most people would choose the second option.
And that was exactly how Urashiki felt now—he wanted to crush the ant that had bitten him.
With a swing of his fishing rod, he unleashed a powerful attack that cut through the air, targeting Minato alone.
His goal was simple—kill Minato.
However, with Naruto and Kurama there, no matter how furious Urashiki was, it was impossible for him to succeed.
Naruto instantly transformed into his massive golden Kurama form, standing side by side with Kurama, shielding Minato and Sasuke while simultaneously launching two Tailed Beast Bombs at Urashiki.
With a deafening explosion, Urashiki’s figure disappeared.
But this time, Naruto wasn’t worried at all.
He immediately turned to Minato, who, without hesitation, placed his hand on the giant golden Kurama.
As chakra surged, in an instant, Minato and Naruto appeared in a dark space.
Meanwhile, in the spatial passageway, Urashiki was still seething with anger, thinking about how to kill Minato.
But the next second, his eyes widened in shock.
Only to see a massive Rasenshuriken hurtling straight toward him.
Golden Kurama gripped the massive Rasenshuriken tightly as Naruto let out a roar from within.
"This is for Sasuke!"
"Six Paths: Grand Rasenshuriken!"
The world outside fell completely still. Kurama shielded Sasuke as he scanned the area, seemingly trying to locate Urashiki. Sasuke’s purple Sharingan glowed, strange energy flowing in his gaze—he was waiting for the outcome.
A sound like shattering glass drew their attention. When they looked up, they saw a crack in the sky.
It was as if a beautiful painting of the sky had been torn apart. Flames burst from the fissure, accompanied by a violent surge of chakra.
Just as they were wondering what was happening, a deafening explosion erupted from the crack. The sound was so overwhelming that Sasuke instinctively covered his ears. It felt as though the impact would tear the earth apart. If not for Kurama standing in front of him, Sasuke might have been blown away entirely.
Before the shockwave had even settled, a continuous cracking sound rang out. A powerful force shattered the limits of space, unleashing its might upon the sky. The flames from the explosion resembled meteors streaking through the air, dazzling and destructive, like fireworks bursting under missile fire.
Beautiful—but deadly.
As the flames and light faded, a figure was sent flying from the explosion. The person was engulfed in searing flames, their body burned pitch black. The identifying horn on their head had disappeared, and blood poured uncontrollably from their mouth.
He stared in disbelief at the explosion’s source. His fishing rod slipped from his grasp, falling to the ground.
"This kind of power... Impossible! How could a lower lifeform possess such strength?!"
A flash of light—Naruto and Minato had reappeared in front of him. The massive Kurama was gone.
Naruto glared at Urashiki and immediately started shouting.
"Lower lifeform this, lower lifeform that! I’ve had enough of your crap, you bastard!"
"Now—apologize to my dad!"
"Six Paths: Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Urashiki gritted his teeth as the chains closed in. Naruto’s fierce expression was crystal clear, but Minato’s masked face revealed nothing.
Did I... really lose?
Lose to a mere lower lifeform?
A mere lower lifeform!
"Don’t look down on me, you lower lifeforms!"
Seeing the sealing chains so close sent Urashiki into a frenzy. If he were sealed again and humiliated by these so-called lower beings, he would rather risk everything to make them understand—
What it truly meant to be an *Ōtsutsuki*!
