"My name is Urashiki, and I also like fishing. But it's different from yours."
"I'm fishing for Tailed Beast."
"Oh, so the Tailed Beast all have owners now! You've got quite the ambition!"
How will you know it won't succeed if you don't try?
The two were locked in a fierce battle of wits, exchanging sharp words.
"Then I'll have to test your weight."
Hatake Sakumo spoke solemnly.
Hatake Sakumo launched the first attack, fishing rod in hand, the line rising even without wind. The line rushed towards Urashiki blocked it with his own rod. With a loud "thud," the end of the line slammed against the rod, and Urashiki was knocked back by the force, leaving a deep mark on the ground. The fishing rod in Urashiki's hand hummed.
Hatake Sakumo pressed his advantage, knowing that an enemy who hasn't been defeated isn't a good enemy. Hatake Sakumo, well aware of this principle, wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. As the saying goes, "an inch longer, an inch stronger," Hatake Sakumo began to let out more line, which became even longer. Fishing lines flew everywhere, and fallen leaves blown by the wind accidentally fell into the net woven from the fishing lines and were instantly torn to shreds.
"How terrifying! Who is this person? Naruto."
Boruto, upon witnessing Hatake Sakumo's techniques, expressed his sincere admiration, saying that he had never seen this person in Konoha before, and logically speaking, he should have a strong impression of such a person.
"This is Kakashi-sensei's father, Hatake Sakumo."
When Naruto visited Kakashi-sensei's house, he often saw Hatake Sakumo. However, every time he went, Hatake Sakumo was either making a fishing rod or preparing to go fishing. Naruto always thought he was just an ordinary fisherman. But today, Hatake Sakumo's appearance completely changed Naruto's opinion of him.
"The sixth generation's father, he's still alive?"
Boruto knew that the Sixth Hokage's father committed suicide when the Sixth Hokage was young. He never expected to meet him in this way. He wished the Sixth Hokage could come here.
"Karot, Senior Sakumo has already made everything in the world a sword."
As a learned man, Orochimaru naturally had some understanding of the realm of swordsmen.
"Yes, the old man kept it well hidden. This is the first time I've seen him since I came back."
Karot looked at Hatake Sakumo's tall and imposing figure; the Konoha's White Fang had returned.
Urashiki could only keep dodging. He felt an unprecedented sharpness from the fishing line, and his intuition told him that if he got cut, his body wouldn't be able to take it.
Urashiki fled in a sorry state, filled with hatred for the natives of this planet. "Why didn't you just obediently become fertilizer? Why did you have to rebel against the great Otsutsuki?" he thought. "Kaguya, look what you've done!"
Urashiki never imagined this day would come. During his time travel, he had exhausted his power and suffered severe injuries while resisting the spatial divide, leaving him far from his peak strength. The moment he appeared in the Ninja World, the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki appeared before him, and he thought it was his lucky day. However, he never expected that each of them would be more troublesome and stronger than the last.
"Brush."
Urashiki's reaction was too slow, and Hatake Sakumo seized the opportunity. By the time Urashiki reacted, it was too late.
A deep, dark scar appeared on Urashiki's arm; a piece of flesh had been cut off by Hatake Sakumo.
"Ah!"
Urashiki screamed. He had been dismembered, like an animal, his flesh was being ripped from his bones. Urashiki was venting his anger.
"That's amazing!"
Boruto yelled. He had been defeated by Urashiki too many times, and now that Urashiki was injured Boruto wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
He's getting anxious.
As an observer, Karot said, "When people get anxious, they often do things that are out of control. Urashiki is clearly like that."
"Wouldn't it be better if he got anxious? The more he loses, the happier we are."
Orochimaru didn't care what would happen to Urashiki; he just needed Urashiki to be alive. That would make it easier for Orochimaru to manipulate him.
"You ant, you deserve to die!"
Urashiki's hatred for Hatake Sakumo now far surpasses that for Kaguya, ranking first. Kaguya, after all, is a member of their Otsutsuki clan, while Hatake Sakumo? In Urashiki's eyes, he's nothing more than an ant that can be killed at will. Urashiki, who chose the high and Otsutsuki Urashiki, was actually devoured by an ant. How could Urashiki not be furious?
Urashiki's hair slowly floated up, defying gravity, and new flesh grew from the wounds on Urashiki hands. His aura grew many times stronger. Now, he was willing to use the Otsutsuki clan's secret technique to briefly recover his strength, because he was going to kill Hatake Sakumo.
"Damn it, let's attack together and prevent him from succeeding!"
Before he could even activate his power, Sasuke shouted, and then he took the lead in action. He was going to interrupt Urashiki's secret technique, or everyone here would die.
Hearing Sasuke's words, the others had no intention of doing so and attacked Urashiki together.
As people approached him from all directions, a smile appeared on Urashiki's face. He uttered two words softly.
"It's over."
"Boom."
Urashiki unleashed an overwhelming aura, sending the Konoha members who were heading towards him flying backward. Urashiki's aura also affected the others, making them feel immense pressure.
Urashiki, feeling his invincible power had returned, looked at the Konoha Ninja he considered ants and sneered.
"You guys look so pathetic now! Hehe."
Urashiki, brimming with power, now looked at the ninja who had just given him a hard time and wished he could kill him as soon as possible.
"Let's start with you!"
Urashiki appeared in front of Future Sasuke in a flash, placing a finger on Sasuke's shoulder.
"We're already missing a hand. This one would be a waste."
Urashiki emitted a beam of light from his finger, which pierced through Sasuke's arm.
"Um."
Sasuke merely frowned but didn't utter a sound.
"Mr. Sasuke."
Boruto couldn't help but cry out when he saw Sasuke injured.
"What? He's Sasuke?"
This was the reaction in the minds of everyone present.
Itachi's reaction was the most severe; the name Sasuke was a taboo subject for him. Itachi's eyes spun rapidly, evolving from the Mitsudomoe. In this timeline, Shisui hadn't died, which was why Itachi hadn't awakened his Mangekyo.
A red giant enveloped Itachi. Itachi drew a katana and swung it. The blade's energy shot towards Urashiki and Sasuke. Urashiki noticed the commotion behind him, smiled, and jumped up. He wanted Itachi's Sasuke energy to kill Sasuke.
But he never expected just how strong Uchiha Itachi's control over his power was. Uchiha Itachi held his swords upwards with both hands, and as the sword energy reached Sasuke, it flew into the sky.
