Sasuke let out a low roar as Susanoo abruptly condensed a massive longbow of purple Chakra in its hands.
A thick, crackling arrow of lightning instantly formed upon the bowstring.
Boom—!
The bowstring trembled violently, and the purple arrow shot forth like a meteor ripping through the darkness, streaking straight toward Urashiki in mid-air.
"Too slow! A linear attack like this is meaningless!"
Urashiki sneered, his blue Rinnegan activating in an instant.
Time leapt.
With extreme precision, Urashiki shifted his body slightly to the right. The purple arrow screamed past him, barely grazing his shoulder as it tore through the air.
"Amenotejikara!"
Below, Adult Sasuke—his Chakra completely depleted—forced out the last shred of his ocular power to activate the technique.
Whoosh!
The purple arrow that had just flown past Urashiki vanished without warning.
In its place—
The silver-haired man appeared.
Eyes sharp as blades.
"What?!"
In Urashiki's "future vision," this scene did not exist at all.
Because Amenotejikara's spatial exchange occurred instantaneously—there was no trajectory to predict.
"Die."
Kakashi coldly spat out the word.
The twin Kiba blades in his hands roared with violent thunder, crossing into an X-shape as he slashed mercilessly toward Urashiki's back.
"Don't underestimate the Ōtsutsuki Clan—ahhhhhhh!!!"
At the brink of death, Urashiki unleashed everything he had left.
All remaining source Chakra in his body was converted into a violently compressed repulsive force, erupting outward from his back.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Rumble—!!!
It was as though a black sun ignited in the sky.
The terrifying energy storm tore through the thunderclouds overhead, and the piercing sonic boom forced everyone beneath the Susanoo to clutch their ears in agony.
Crack—!
With a shrill sound of metal fracturing, the legendary Hidden Mist blades—Kiba—having endured the extreme compression of Sage Chakra and Shinra Tensei simultaneously, finally reached their material limit.
Spiderweb-like cracks spread instantly across the blades before they shattered completely, exploding into countless scorched fragments that scattered in all directions.
"Pfft—!"
With their weapons destroyed, Kakashi and the utterly exhausted Urashiki both coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
Like kites with severed strings, the two figures fell from mid-air, smashing heavily into the devastated ruins and kicking up thick clouds of dust.
Silence descended upon the battlefield.
The massive Susanoo dissolved into drifting specks of purple light.
Adult Sasuke, having exhausted every last trace of Chakra and ocular power, finally collapsed beside the unconscious Naruto and young Sasuke, losing consciousness completely.
And not far away—
"Cough… cough… cough, cough…"
Manic laughter echoed from the rubble.
Urashiki slowly sat up, his body drenched in blood.
Two deep, cross-shaped gashes tore across his back, so severe that bone was visible beneath the torn flesh. Black lightning still raged within the wounds, suppressing the terrifying regenerative ability of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Had he not unleashed Shinra Tensei at full power to offset most of the damage, that strike would have cut him into pieces.
"Hahaha… cough… bugs… you are bugs after all…"
Urashiki spat blood as he glared at the unconscious Kakashi nearby, resentment burning in his gaze.
"To force a god to this extent… you are indeed worthy of pride.
But the true power of the Ōtsutsuki Clan—lowly creatures like you will never comprehend it!"
A flash of fanatical resolve crossed his pale, distorted face.
Suddenly, he raised his right hand and violently gouged out the blue-glowing Rinnegan from his own eye socket.
Blood streamed down his face, making the already grotesque Urashiki look like a demon clawing its way out of hell.
Opening his blood-filled mouth, he moved to swallow the Rinnegan—
At that instant—
Kakashi, who had been lying motionless, suddenly opened his tightly shut right eye.
Three tomoe spun wildly, then linked together.
Mangekyo Sharingan—activate!
Kamui!
Kakashi's gaze locked onto Urashiki's right hand clutching the Rinnegan as his Mangekyo power surged to its absolute limit.
Hum—!
Space twisted violently around Urashiki's hand.
Swoosh!
There was no time to react.
Pat.
With a horrifying tearing sound, Urashiki's right wrist was severed cleanly at the root, the hand—still gripping the blue Rinnegan—falling into the dusty ruins as blood sprayed everywhere.
"Ahhhhhhh—!!!"
Urashiki's face twisted beyond recognition. His only remaining left eye stared in madness at the severed hand on the ground, like a beast driven into a corner.
"My eye… give it back! Give my power back to me!"
He lunged forward desperately, ignoring everything, his remaining left hand stretching toward the Rinnegan.
But a silver blur was faster.
Kakashi appeared instantly, stepping down hard on the back of Urashiki's hand.
Crack.
The finger bones shattered.
"Ah!"
Urashiki convulsed in agony, his body pinned firmly to the ground.
Kakashi swiftly pulled a small sealing scroll from his ninja pouch, unfurled it, and sealed away the severed hand still clutching the Rinnegan before tucking the scroll into his clothes.
"You… despicable insect! Give me back my eye!!!"
Urashiki thrashed wildly beneath Kakashi's foot, his lone remaining eye bloodshot and bulging with despair and fury, his face smeared with mud and blood.
"It's safer if I keep it."
Pitch-black lightning ignited once more in Kakashi's right hand.
The Sage Art: Chidori, infused with Natural Energy, screamed as it thrust straight toward Urashiki's throat without hesitation.
At that moment—
"If I can't live… then you—along with this broken village—will be buried with me!!!"
Hum—!!!
An indescribably terrifying fluctuation erupted from Urashiki's body.
He forcibly reversed all the energy circuits within himself, turning his remaining Ōtsutsuki life force into an unstable bomb on the verge of detonation.
Blinding white light poured from his seven orifices.
"Not good!"
Kakashi's pupils shrank. The Senjutsu Chidori was violently repelled the instant it touched the layer of white light.
If an explosion of this magnitude occurred here, not only Training Ground Three—most of Konoha would be erased in an instant.
And Naruto and Sasuke, lying nearby, would have no chance of survival.
"Kakashi!"
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Shouts rang out from the distance.
Tsunade arrived with a large contingent of Konoha ANBU and elite jōnin, guided by Haku.
But when they saw Urashiki at the center of the training ground, radiating a destructive aura like a miniature sun—
"What the hell is that?!"
Tsunade's expression changed drastically. Even from afar, the sheer terror of that energy was unmistakable.
Blood streamed from Kakashi's right eye as he fixed his gaze on Urashiki once more.
The Mangekyo Sharingan was being pushed beyond its limits.
"Kamui!!!"
The spiraling spatial vortex instantly enveloped Urashiki's body, which was blazing with white light.
"Get in there!!!"
Swoosh—!
Urashiki's figure, along with the impending destruction, was forcibly dragged into another dimension.
Elsewhere—
Within a bizarre space composed of countless towering rectangular stone pillars.
Uchiha Obito, wearing an orange spiral mask, sat quietly atop one pillar, contemplating the next step of the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Suddenly, the space around him twisted violently.
"Hm?"
A sharp sense of unease surged through Obito's heart.
"Spatial distortion… an accidental transfer caused by unknown space-time ninjutsu?"
He rose to his feet, staring warily at the distorted node of space.
Then, in the next instant, what the vortex expelled made Obito's scalp go numb.
