Previously, Yoruha had only briefly crossed paths with the opponent, so he hadn't truly felt the immense power emanating from him. Now, Manda could deeply sense the black hole-like force within Yoruha.
He had no idea just how terrifying the power within him was. Yoruha's attention was entirely focused on Naruto. After probing Naruto's chakra, he frowned, "He's fast, isn't he? In such a short time, he's already extracted half of the Nine-Tails' chakra."
The strength of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki indeed caught Yoruha's attention. Even now, he felt some pressure. Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was the strongest opponent he had encountered in a long time.
Kakashi was equally shocked by Yoruha's words, "Extracted half of the Nine-Tails' chakra? Doesn't that mean he has half of the Nine-Tails' chakra within him?" Kakashi had just witnessed Ōtsutsuki Urashiki extracting a large amount of chakra from Sasuke and storing it in that fish basket.
Doesn't that mean Ōtsutsuki Urashiki has half of the Nine-Tails' chakra and most of Sasuke's chakra? Who knows whose chakra he might have extracted before.
"If he can use the chakra he's extracted, then we're facing a humanoid tailed beast. Yoruha, are you really confident about this?" Kakashi knew that in this situation, his presence would only be a burden to Yoruha.
If he had the abilities of both Mangekyō Sharingan from the Fourth Great Ninja War, he would definitely be able to fight Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
But he didn't have that now, and he hadn't even mastered the single-eye Kamui. Yoruha nodded, showing a serious expression for the first time, "He's indeed a troublesome opponent. If we're not careful, things could go south."
Hearing Yoruha say this, Kakashi felt even more pressure. "When we engage, don't worry about me, just focus on attacking that guy," Kakashi said seriously.
Yoruha glanced at Kakashi and smiled, "Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei. Although that guy is tricky, it doesn't mean we're going to die."
Yoruha truly wasn't confident about defeating Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. Mainly because he didn't know much about him; in his previous life, he had only seen some clips of him.
He wasn't sure about his exact abilities or how strong he was. Moreover, Yoruha felt that the current Ōtsutsuki Urashiki seemed much stronger than what he knew.
For example, he could easily extract the Nine-Tails' chakra from Naruto, which, in Yoruha's understanding, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki shouldn't be able to do.
Kakashi could also sense Yoruha's heaviness. Feeling somewhat ashamed, he said, "We're holding you back. If we weren't here, you could fight without restraint."
Yoruha looked at Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and shook his head, "Kakashi-sensei, you're overthinking it. We still don't know how strong that guy is. During the battle, please help me analyze his jutsu characteristics and, if possible, find his weaknesses." Kakashi was momentarily stunned but quickly understood Yoruha's intention. He didn't refuse.
After all, joining the battle would only hinder Yoruha. He couldn't participate in this fight. Yoruha wanted him to analyze from the sidelines, essentially to keep him from getting hurt.
Kakashi nodded seriously, "You just give it your all. Don't worry about me; I'll take good care of Sasuke and Naruto."
Kakashi nodded, holding Naruto as he leaped onto the head of the giant blue snake. After Kakashi left with Naruto, Yoruha's lips curled into a slight smile. "Fighting alongside me for the first time and you encounter a scene . Regretting it, Manda?"
Manda replied coldly, "Enough with the chatter, let's get to it!" Yoruha chuckled, "Alright, let's go." Ōtsutsuki Urashiki snapped out of his shock from seeing Yoruha teleport Naruto away so swiftly.
He had initially underestimated Yoruha, but not anymore. "Is this guy really this powerful already?" "What kind of monster is he?"
"Even Kaguya's descendants aren't like him." "But in the face of a god, no matter how strong, he's just an ant." With that, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki cast out his fishing hook.
He intended to extract Yoruha's chakra. Just as the hook was about to touch Yoruha, Yoruha vanished into thin air. In the next moment, Yoruha appeared behind Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, wielding a golden Chidori.
"Zzz~" "Splat~" The golden light shone brightly as lightning pierced through Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's back. Yet in the next instant, he dissolved into countless red paper cranes and disappeared. Not far away, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki stood atop a large tree, his face full of shock.
"How is this possible? My Yomotsu Hirasaka isn't working. What did this guy do?" "Why can't I open the space here?" "Could it be that technique he used earlier?"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki recalled the jutsu Yoruha had released earlier, though nothing seemed to happen. "Could it really be that technique? But how is it possible for someone to seal space?"
"That's something only a god can do." The strongest of the Ōtsutsuki clan possessed abilities akin to gods. While ordinary members of the Ōtsutsuki clan could easily open spaces, sealing them was an operation countless times more difficult.
Earlier, he intended to use a space-time ninjutsu similar to a substitution technique to escape. But he found he couldn't open the space, and if he hadn't forcibly used the power of his Rinnegan to rewind time and evade in advance, Yoruha would have pierced through him.
If that happened, he would be severely injured, if not dead. Time reversal was one of the abilities of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's Rinnegan. The most outrageous part was that this ability barely consumed any chakra.
This ability allowed him to rewind time to a few seconds before an attack hit. Even Yoruha was caught off guard by this outrageous ability. Seeing that he hadn't hit Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, Yoruha was also a bit shocked.
"No way, that guy's reaction speed is that fast, and he can seemingly predict my attacks." "Is it the ability of his Rinnegan? Predicting the future?"
Yoruha speculated. He guessed wrong, but the effect was similar. "However, the fact that he didn't use his space abilities to escape earlier means my space seal can lock him down, preventing him from using space abilities."
At this moment, both Yoruha and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki found each other extremely troublesome. Yoruha didn't use conventional ninjutsu against Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. Those wouldn't be effective against him.
The two stood facing each other, expressions tense. Both were trying to find the other's weakness. Even Kakashi, watching from the sidelines, was extremely tense.
Even Manda, who had returned to Yoruha's side, was feeling the tension. That teleportation technique Yoruha used earlier, Manda was sure that even a Kage-level ninja would find it hard to dodge. Yet Ōtsutsuki Urashiki avoided it as if he could foresee the future.
The opponent Yoruha faced this time was indeed terrifying, with extremely bizarre abilities. Manda was also feeling nervous. This was its first time fighting alongside Yoruha; would it end in failure?
