Yes, the Hokage

"Damn it...damn it!"

At this moment, another weakness of Urashiki resurfaced: before he ate his own eyeball and transformed into the Golden Rinnegan, he didn't have any decent killing moves. Many of his destructive techniques relied on absorbing the opponent's chakra with his fishhook and then releasing it from the fish basket.

He hasn't managed to steal a single chakra point yet, so he's naturally struggling in close combat against someone like Minato.

However, Urashiki, contrary to his previous dejected state after being hit by Rasengan, crossed his arms and dodged Minato's close-range attacks with a very disdainful attitude. Even when the latter used Flying Thunder God Technique to launch a surprise attack, he easily dodged it.

"Is that all you've got? You inferior creature!" He could even taunt as he dodged.

This is certainly not because Urashiki suddenly opened his Ren and Du meridians and became an unparalleled master, but rather because of the ability of his deep blue Rinnegan: time reversal!

This ability is somewhat similar to the "Epitaph" ability of the Stand Crimson King from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. However, while "Epitaph" allows you to see future events, Urashiki's ability involves first experiencing the enemy's attacks firsthand, then returning to a few seconds earlier in time to experience the enemy's attacks multiple times. This allows him to understand the opponent's moves and choose the safest course of action. The drawback is that time reversal only rewinds external time, not his own.

In Feng Lan's opinion, this guy is full of JoJo elements. The fishhook that can freely extend and penetrate objects is a replica of the Stand Beach Boy. Moreover, the situation when he was hit was quite similar to a priest breathing pure oxygen.

Therefore, Fenglan's plan also included replicating that scene.

Sure enough, although Urashiki had the upper hand in his fight with Minato, he didn't have any killer moves and could only physically beat Minato and taunt him. But as he was taunting, his expression suddenly changed and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

[Just as you predicted, Fenglan!] Minato, who had been on the defensive, suddenly had a cold glint in his eyes. He was being held up in the air with his neck being grabbed, but his eyes flashed with a cold glint. He used Flying Thunder God Technique to rush behind his opponent and immediately used Rasengan.

"Cough...cough!"

Urashiki tried his best to turn around and parry, but he was poisoned. Even though his blue Rinnegan could see the opponent's moves and his mind could think of the best way to deal with them, his body was already unable to move.

"Rasengan—!"

Minato's attack was no ordinary Rasengan. Before unleashing the attack, he had already canceled the Shadow Clone Technique, which he had prepared in advance to absorb natural energy, and entered Sage Mode. Therefore, this move was a Sage Art Rasengan!

As we all know, the chakra of this world comes from the Otsutsuki. The Otsutsuki can be considered the progenitor of ninjutsu, so most ninjutsu are not very effective against the Otsutsuki. If one can enter the state of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, one is directly immune to ninjutsu.

But Sage Mode is different. Sage Mode is essentially the absorption of Earth's natural energy, a power unique to this world. It can cause full damage even to the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, let alone Urashiki.

Urashiki's defensive capabilities were already among the worst of the Otsutsuki, otherwise he wouldn't have been easily defeated by Naruto and Boruto's Rasengan. Now, after being hit by a Sage Art Rasengan from Minato at his peak, the damage he suffered is unimaginable!

"Wow--!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and a deep hole was torn in his pure white Ōtsutsuki robe, revealing his flesh riddled with holes and twisted beyond recognition by the powerful rotational force. He trembled and tried to stand up several times, but ultimately collapsed.

If he had caught some chakra earlier, he could have recovered from his injuries by absorbing the chakra from the fish basket. Unfortunately, thanks to Feng Lan's prior planning, this guy had no chakra left at all.

"How...how is this possible..." Urashiki's face was full of disbelief. "How exactly did you poison me?"

"I have no reason to give the enemy time." Minato was ruthless. He flashed again and used Rasengan. Don't be fooled by Minato's harmless blond hair. On the battlefield, he is more ruthless than anyone else. The name "Yellow Flash" is not just for show, but for his killing. Besides, this guy tried to hurt Kushina. How could he let him go?

Actually, the principle behind this guy's poisoning is quite simple. To put it bluntly, the esophagus of the giant toad is already full of poisonous gas. However, it would take a long time for it to infect a master of Minato's level. Urashiki, on the other hand, continuously used his time reversal ability to counter Minato's speed. The toxins accumulated in his body were more than ten times that of Minato, so they naturally took effect earlier.

This wasn't Fenglan's own idea; it was the same method Jiraiya used to deal with Urashiki after learning about him in Boruto. Fenglan was just copying the formula. Now it seems that Jiraiya's reputation for information is indeed well-deserved.

"Damn it..."

Urashiki is now clearly in a dilemma. The poison is rapidly eroding his life. To leave this poisonous place, he needs to use enough destructive power or Yomotsu Hirasaka to teleport. However, he doesn't have any destructive killing moves. Yomotsu Hirasaka is a power of the red Rinnegan. If he switches to the red Rinnegan, he won't be able to use the blue Rinnegan's time rewind to dodge Minato's attacks. In that case, he won't be able to hold out until the portal opens.

All of this was part of Feng Lan's plan, so all Urashiki could do was follow Feng Lan's plan...

He first used the blue Rinnegan to rewind time and avoid Minato's fatal blow, then suddenly gouged out his own eyeball and swallowed it forcefully!

"All right!"

After the Toad Mouth Binding Technique was released, Feng Lan, who had been watching the battle nearby with Hizashi, gave an order, and Jiraiya immediately released the flesh barrier. When Minato saw that the seal had been released as agreed beforehand, he immediately used Flying Thunder God Technique to create distance and stopped fighting in close combat.

"Roar--!"

This decision was undoubtedly correct, because the next second, Urashiki Otsutsuki's forehead opened up with a golden Rinnegan, his face had many black horizontal stripes, and a huge horn resembling bird wings grew on his head. However, because his right horn had been broken off by Minato, it was still in a damaged state even after the transformation.

In addition, his feet turned into black claws, while his arms transformed into wings, allowing him to fly through the air.

In short, this guy has entered Crane Form, which is also Urashiki's desperate stance. Because he swallowed the eyeball, he can no longer use the Byakugan and the two-colored Rinnegan, but he has a brand new killing move with the golden Rinnegan, and his taijutsu and ninjutsu abilities have been further increased.

"Damn inferior creatures... I will kill you all!"

In addition, his personality became extremely violent and arrogant, and he enjoyed mocking, insulting and torturing his enemies in battle.

However, in Feng Lan's opinion, this guy actually became weaker after entering his ultimate form.

Because he no longer has the White Eye or Time Reversal abilities, many hidden, deadly attacks are completely undetectable, such as...

Just as Urashiki in his crane form was still talking like a boss entering a second phase transformation and going through a cutscene, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shattered, and countless large hands made of sand and iron tentacles burst out of the ground. It was because Feng Lan had disassembled his ninja umbrella and buried it underground in advance after activating the Toad Mouth Binding Technique. Kakuzu also often used Earth Grudge Fear tentacles in Shippuden, so there was no reason why he couldn't learn it.

Knowing that Urashiki was a numerical monster at this moment, Fenglan did not use the Sand Iron Hand to seal or capture the opponent. Instead, he directly raised his index and middle fingers and stabbed the lower middle part of the enemy's body.

"Waaaaah, take this secret technique of Konoha, the ultimate taijutsu..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the noble and dignified Otsutsuki was poked squarely with a finger.

"Thousand-Year Kill!"

Chapter 209 Obito Wants to Kill His Master?

"Pfft—!"

A very unpleasant sound rang out, and the previously heated scene immediately fell silent.

Many people touched their own buttocks in empathy, and many girls turned their heads away in embarrassment and blushing. Urashiki himself stared in disbelief at the rough, dark hand that suddenly appeared behind him, until the tearing pain fully struck him, and he suddenly jolted awake.

"Alas--!"

He tried to suppress his scream like Tom the cat, but even as his face turned purple, he couldn't hold it in and finally let out a wild, painful roar: "Ooh ho ho ho ho!"

The crowd surrounding the high platform also showed no mercy in beating Urashiki while he was down. Jiraiya's Fire Release: Flame Bullet, Tsunade's fist the size of a casserole dish, Minato's Rasengan, and Hiruko's Storm Release: Storm Dragon all swept towards Urashiki.

As for Feng Lan? Sorry, he ran away with a Flying Thunder God technique after successfully launching a sneak attack. Others may not know the stats of the Otsutsuki, but he knows them all too well. Urashiki's defense increases dramatically after transforming, and he can't be taken down by a single Thousand Years of Death, even if he just stabbed him quite hard.

"This guy, he definitely did it on purpose..." Mei Terumi's lips twitched as she witnessed everything, unsure of what expression to make.

"Judging from the results, it was quite effective." Even Pakula couldn't find a good angle to speak up for Feng Lan, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Yoshi!" Only Uchiha Momo jumped up excitedly, "As expected of Lady Fenglan, a second time!"

"A second bloom?" Princess Ichikishima looked over curiously. "What does that mean?"

"No, nothing..." Uchiha Momo quickly covered her mouth, "I didn't say anything."

"Hehehe, little Momo, it's not good to hide things from your older sister~" Princess Ichikishima said, half-jokingly and half-threateningly, as she hugged Momo Uchiha from behind. "But the way you're trying so hard to keep it a secret is also very cute, it makes me want to eat you up..."

"Enough." Princess Tianxin frowned, interrupting Princess Ichikishima's prank. "Focus on the battlefield."

To be honest, she was truly shocked by Konoha's power. The legendary Otsutsuki had been on the defensive ever since he appeared. Tashin Shinki could sense that it was definitely not because the opponent was not strong enough. His red fishhook, Rinnegan, and other things were genuine, but in front of Konoha, he was unable to use his strength and was restricted from beginning to end.

The key to this situation isn't those Kage-level powerhouses, or even the Fourth Hokage, but Feng Lan. Tianxin Shenji's sharp gaze fell on Feng Lan. "He orchestrated all of this, almost predicting every single move of the Otsutsuki clan… Does such a wise man truly exist? Did he learn precognition from the Great Toad Sage?"

Fenglan: Sorry, knowing the plot means you can do whatever you want.

"Ahhhhh!"

Just as he had predicted, even such a fierce Thousand Years of Death could not render Urashiki unable to fight. As for the attacks from the four Kage-level powerhouses, they were nothing. Urashiki in his crane form flapped his wings forcefully, and although his anus was still bleeding, he dodged the subsequent attacks with astonishing speed. The golden Rinnegan on his forehead locked onto Feng Lan almost immediately.

"You damned bastard!"

Feng Lan's insidious attack undoubtedly drew all of Urashiki's hatred onto himself. The giant crane let out a cry, and dazzling purple light gathered behind him, forming a terrifying wide-range attack comparable to a meteor shower. This was clearly a powerful force that he could never have possessed before his transformation.

"Wow, what terrifying chakra!" Mei Terumi, who was watching the battle from above the Hokage Rock, changed her expression drastically. Not only her, but also Pakura, the Three Goddesses, and other village envoys who had already retreated to safety all shuddered upon seeing this move. The slight contempt they had felt when they saw Urashiki being utterly defeated vanished instantly.

With just this one move, an AOE attack comparable to Shinra, Urashiki's strength clearly overwhelmed Kage-level opponents, making him a true Kage-level powerhouse. The envoys from various villages immediately realized that it wasn't that Urashiki was weak, but rather that Konoha was too strong.

"Ame-no-Hashi Meteorite? Mitama!"

With a roar from Urashiki, countless dark purple orbs of light rained down from the sky, threatening to raze Konoha to the ground.

But Fenglan was prepared for this move: "Obito!"

"Oh!"

Obito, who had been hiding as a reserve force, suddenly leaped out from beside Feng Lan. He hadn't attacked directly, but had been accumulating natural energy. Although he hadn't fully mastered Hashirama's Sage Mode, he could still benefit from it and unleash Wood Release far beyond his usual level.

"Wood Release: Ranking Technique!"

A massive, sturdy log rose from the ground and quickly formed a coffin-shaped cuboid. Previously, when Obito used this technique, it could only protect a delegation of a few dozen people. Now, it directly enveloped the entire village, closing in with a "thud."

"Boom boom boom—!"

Urashiki's relentless bombardment raged across the demon mask, causing the wooden cuboid to tremble violently. Visible cracks appeared in the ground around Konoha, and Obito gritted his teeth, looking somewhat strained.

But Fenglan never intended for Obito to directly withstand this attack. He only needed to slightly attract Urashiki's attention, and then...

"Shh-!"

Since Minato's Flying Thunder God Mark had already hit Urashiki, he could launch a surprise attack at any time. At this moment, he teleported directly behind the enemy and used his Rasengan without hesitation to head straight for the wound of the Thousand Years of Death.

This wasn't due to any foul play; rather, his fighting instincts told him that hitting here was more effective than hitting the head.

As expected, Urashiki instantly flew into a rage. In his transformed form, he was finally able to keep up with Minato's speed and swung his wing back at him.

"clang--!"

Minato neither dodged nor evaded, but a powerful figure capable of keeping up with their speed emerged—none other than Shisui, who was also renowned for his speed.

Shisui's slash struck the wing squarely, producing a metallic clang. However, he was clearly no match for Urashiki in terms of power, and was immediately sent flying by the immense impact. Kotoamatsukami might not be effective against the Otsutsuki, so Fenglan didn't ask him to use that technique against the enemy. Shisui's role was to use his speed to assist Minato.

Minato's Rasengan was still hurtling towards Urashiki's wound, but the latter's expression was ferocious. Of course, he couldn't let the Rasengan hit him, because it would not only cause physical damage, but also be incredibly embarrassing!

Therefore, his right wing was flapped open, but his left wing suddenly flapped upwards, trying to fly to a higher position to avoid the opponent's attack.

"Shh-!"

However, at that moment, another shadow appeared overhead, and it was Feng Lan, who was also making dumplings in her hands!

Where did this guy come from?!

Urashiki was startled again. Fenglan was using the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique, which was different from Minato's. It wasn't like Minato could just fly mindlessly after being marked with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Of course, our poor Urashiki didn't know the special effect of the Iron Sand Ninja Tool: it can replace a part of the body to apply the Flying Thunder God Seal. After that Thousand Years of Death, Fenglan's Flying Thunder God Seal had already been applied to his... body.

"Then I'll kill you first!"

The single eye on his forehead radiated a chilling killing intent. Even at the risk of being severely injured by Minato, if he were to strike with his wing, wouldn't Feng Lan be reduced to a pile of mangled flesh?

"die--!"

In a flash, Urashiki made a decision, using his right wing to protect his rear, while the feathers on his left wing suddenly bloomed, emitting a faint metallic luster, and he slashed fiercely at Fenglan.

"Snap—!"

With a single blow, the weakling Feng Lan was undoubtedly broken in two, and then with a "bang," he turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Shadow clone, again! This trick was learned by Feng Lan, that old schemer among schemers, he can come up with all sorts of tricks.

"Ugh!"

Hiding in a safe place, Feng Lan shook her head and shrugged. How could an office worker like herself go up and fight to the death like you crude ninjas? What if she really got cut in half and scared the kids? Even if she didn't scare the kids, it wouldn't be good if she scared the flowers and plants.

Urashiki's golden single eye suddenly contracted, and it was too late to dodge Minato's Rasengan!

"Feng! Lan!"

His desperate, screaming cry echoed through the night sky, accompanied by Minato's merciless voice: "Rasengan—!"

Although this attack was just a regular Rasengan, it still landed squarely on the right wing. The immense penetrating force mercilessly pierced through the wing and struck the severely injured rear area, causing a large amount of blood to drip down.

"This guy, really..." Mei Terumi, who was watching the battle from the Hokage Rock, couldn't help but let out a long breath. When Feng Lan's shadow clone was cut in half, she barely managed to hold back her scream. Although she trusted him a lot, she couldn't help but panic a little when she saw this situation.

Not only her, but Pakura and the Three Goddesses' emotions also fluctuated with Feng Lan's performance. Only Uchiha Momo remained very calm. In her eyes, Lord Feng Lan was omnipotent, let alone a mere defeated opponent. He would definitely take care of him in no time!

With a successful strike, Minato didn't linger and immediately used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Feng Lan's side. Before the operation, they had already left their Flying Thunder God Marks on each other so they could support each other at any time. There was also a crucial move that had to be made this way, since the Flying Thunder God Mark was very troublesome for the person who was hit, but the caster could easily erase it.

"Maple Storm! Minato Namikaze!"

After suffering continuous damage in several areas, Urashiki finally broke down: "I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all! I'll turn this damned village to dust!"

With his roar, surging purple chakra gathered behind him, transforming into a giant blackish-purple oarfish. What was brewing in the oarfish's mouth was a huge purplish-red chakra sphere comparable to the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

"Heavenly Wave Meteor Fate? Dragon Palace!"

This is Urashiki Otsutsuki's ultimate killing move. The destructive power and range of this attack have already surpassed that of Shinra. If it were Hashirama, he might have been able to block it, but Obito's Ranking Technique is ultimately still a bit lacking.

"Obito!"

But Minato and Furan remained calm and simultaneously called out the man's name.

"Yes!"

Obito had already been informed of the mission beforehand. He took a deep breath, his Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly activated, and a tree branch shot out from his palm. Then, with the enhancement of Kamui, the branch began to become both ethereal and solid...

At the end of Shippuden, Kakashi with dual Kamui could imbue the power of Kamui into his shuriken Raikiri and even Susanoo. There's no reason why Obito with dual Kamui now couldn't do the same.

"drink--!"
