Sage Art: Divine Sandstorm

However, compared to Naruto, Jiraiya now more concerned about Sasuke and Boruto standing beside him.

Although his hair color is slightly different from Naruto's, if he wasn't mistaken...

"Found you, you piece of trash!"

Urashiki's voice resounded through the sky; the emotion conveyed in that roar seemed to tear everyone present apart.

"Anyway, could you please buy me some time?"

Jiraiya turned to look at Sasuke.

He is still recovering from his serious injuries and should be enjoying the company of nurses in the hospital.

Unfortunately, he was inexplicably drawn into this conflict because of his disciple, Minato.

With his current physical condition, the only ability he can truly rely on is Sage Mode.

"I see."

Sasuke understood Jiraiya's gaze and stepped forward without hesitation.

"Boruto, protect him, protect Naruto."

After explaining things to Boruto, Sasuke went to greet him.

However, Sasuke in his current state would be nothing short of being sent up for free.

After only a few exchanges, Sasuke was kicked away by Urashiki.

Seeing this, Boruto hurriedly used Wind Release to cover himself, and Urashiki easily dodged several Wind Bullets. Then, Urashiki immediately rushed in front of Boruto and threw a punch.

Naruto immediately pushed Boruto aside and used Wind Release: Gale Palm to withstand Urashiki's attack.

As expected, Naruto was also sent flying.

"As expected, coming to this time and space is awesome, hahaha, Naruto Uzumaki, you're no different from a piece of trash now."

Urashiki laughed out loud, sounding somewhat arrogant.

Sasuke, wielding the Kusanagi Sword, attacked again, slashing at Urashiki's back.

Boruto, who was pushed away by Naruto, condensed a small Rasengan in his palm, which disappeared after leaving his palm.

"The invisible Rasengan, I'm so tired of seeing that move."

Urashiki deflected Boruto's Rasengan with a fishhook, then grabbed Sasuke's wrist holding the Kusanagi Sword and flung him toward Boruto.

Jiraiya was still trying to find a way to enter Sage Mode.

"Hmph, you get out of here too--"

Before Urashiki could finish speaking, he suddenly sank into the ground.

No, someone stepped on his head and slammed him into the ground.

"Who?!!!!"

Urashiki struggled to lift his head after being hit hard, only to be kicked in the head.

The kick shattered a piece of the ring on his head, Urashiki's entire head was buzzing.

"Get out of here!"

A powerful repulsive force erupted from Urashiki, and a huge crater appeared out of nowhere Urashiki.

"What the hell? They even used Shinra Tensei." The figure standing on Urashiki's head drew an arc in the air before landing smoothly on the ground not far away.

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Jiraiya immediately abandoned entering Sage Mode and instead went to check on Naruto's condition.

"Hey, my good senior brother, where did you provoke this kind of enemy again?" The person stepping on Urashiki's head was the Fifth Hokage, Shimura Kazashiro, who had just finished eating local specialties in the neighboring town and then strolled back to his village.

Seeing Urashiki, he recognized him and skillfully began to tease Jiraiya.

"These aren't enemies I provoked. You'll have to ask those two guys." Seeing that Naruto had only fainted Jiraiya and only then did he have the mood to respond to Kazashiro's teasing.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that the guy who had just stepped on his head completely ignored his conversation with Jiraiya, Urashiki coldly inquired about Kazashiro's identity.

"You ask who I am? I'm your big brother—wait, let me think." Only then did Kazashiro notice Urashiki's full appearance.

This guy, his looks...

Kazashiro was taken aback, then hurriedly looked in the direction where Sasuke and Boruto were.

That tall, black-haired man is none other than Sasuke grown up.

The little guy next to him—

"Wait, are you called Boruto?" Kazashiro looked at Boruto, or rather, at Boruto's hair, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Uh, yes, who are you?" Boruto replied timidly.

The person in front of me had such a delicate face; I felt like I'd seen them somewhere before.

"Your hair..." After confirming that the other person was Boruto, Kazashiro's face showed a constipated expression that was hard to describe.

No way, why is it this hair color...?

Compared to Kazashiro's dilemma, Jiraiya was somewhat surprised Jiraiya he heard that Boruto didn't recognize Kazashiro.

Then, his expression changed as he looked at Kazashiro.

"Anyway, let's take care of this guy first," Sasuke said, interrupting Kazashiro and Boruto's conversation.

He stood next to Kazashiro, bent down, and was about to say something when Kazashiro jumped up and slapped him on the head, "You've got some nerve, haven't you? Daring to talk to me like that."

Sasuke, unfazed by the slap, rubbed his head and said sheepishly, "I did this to fight the enemy... And, just as the Sage of Six Paths said, you know everything, Kazashiro -ge..."

Sasuke's voice was very soft; only Kazashiro could hear him.

"Hmph, I see."

Kazashiro instantly understood many of the issues.

"Anyway, we just need to get rid of this uninvited guest first, right? Hmph, I have to kill this guy before that Hikaru guy arrives."

After estimating the distance between himself and the light, Kazashiro rubbed his hands together, and just as Urashiki was about to begin the second round of the villain's speech, he instantly appeared in front of him.

"So fast!"

Urashiki didn't have time to react and instinctively activated his ability.

His Rinnegan began to flash with a blue light.

Urashiki's ability is time reversal, and with this move, he easily dodged Kazashiro's punch.

But his face still took a heavy hit.

"What?"

Urashiki was both in pain and somewhat surprised.

The punch was so powerful that he was pinned to the ground again, this time headfirst.

Kazashiro delivered a whip kick, sending him flying out of the ground and circling away into the distance.

"What kind of move is this? I clearly dodged it." While circling, Urashiki activated his ability once again, trying to find a timeline to dodge the attack before Kazashiro's third attack.

Kazashiro didn't quite remember Urashiki's abilities, but seeing him constantly dodging helped him recall some details.

It seems like time has reversed, but my Taijutsu attacks can't be dodged just by seeing them.

Kazashiro naturally wouldn't offer any explanations for Urashiki. After a few more moves, Kazashiro, having basically grasped Urashiki's Taijutsu strength, prepared to use his Senjutsu.

"Immortal Technique: White Rage Technique"

This move was so effective that Kazashiro used it as his starting move every time he learned it.

However, this caused great trouble for Sasuke, Jiraiya, and the others who were not far away.

Even Naruto had already passed out, was awakened by the sharp noise.

Senjutsu, who is closest to using Urashiki, goes without saying.

In just a few exchanges, he had been reduced to a tattered rag by Kazashiro.

The ability to rewind time was completely useless against Kazashiro's powerful brick-flying attack.

Of course, he didn't come away empty-handed. At the very least, by taking the beating, he learned why he couldn't dodge Kazashiro's attacks.

The opponent's Taijutsu attacks were interspersed with unseen Natural Energy attacks; simply put, it looked like he threw one punch, but he actually threw several.

It looked like he kicked once, but he actually kicked several times.

That's why Urashiki was in such a sorry state in such a short time.

Who exactly is this guy?

Judging from the other person's appearance, they shouldn't be very old. Why haven't I seen this person in my original timeline?

As soon as White Rage Technique ended, Kazashiro threw out an ice-made shuriken.

"Sage Art: Ice Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu"

A dense barrage of shuriken streaked across the sky, hurtling towards Urashiki.

Despite activating his time reversal ability, Urashiki, whose body ached all over, only managed to dodge most of the shuriken. The rest, under the influence of Senjutsu Chakra, pierced his body directly, causing him considerable damage.

"Wow, that's amazing! He took down that Urashiki in just a few moves..." Boruto couldn't help but exclaim, while becoming even more curious about the other person's identity.

"Uncle, who exactly is he?"

"Hmph, that's our village's Fifth Hokage..."

Naruto, now Naruto, introduced the other person with some pride.

"He's the Fifth Hokage?" Boruto was somewhat surprised. The other person looked about his age; was he really the Fifth Hokage?

"That's right," Sasuke nodded from the side.

"So handsome..." Boruto's eyes gleamed.

As he spoke, Kazashiro had already straddled Urashiki and was punching him repeatedly in the face with Urashiki hands.

In no time, Urashiki's hard skull began to deform.

"Get out of here!"

Realizing that he would be beaten to death if things continued this way, Urashiki once again used Shinra Tensei.

After forcing Kazashiro back, he staggered to his feet.

"You bunch of ants, how dare you!"

He never expected that after dodging Naruto at his peak, he would encounter Naruto in this era.

Now it seems that killing Naruto is no longer important; what's important is to deal with this brat who managed to beat himself up like this all by himself.

Without the slightest hesitation, Urashiki tore his fish basket into his mouth and then pried off his Rinnegan, chewing it in his mouth.

"Be careful, I sensed an incredibly terrifying Chakra."

Jiraiya stood in front of Naruto, shielding him and Boruto behind him.

"Pervy Sage, your back..."

In the direction Naruto was pointing, blood was seeping steadily from Jiraiya's back.

"It's nothing, just a wound that reopened." Jiraiya didn't seem to care at all.

At this point, Urashiki had completed his transformation.

Crane Mode.

In this state, Urashiki loses all his previous abilities, but gains power many times stronger than before.

This time, it was Urashiki charged towards Kazashiro.

Seeing that Urashiki, Kazashiro stood still with his arms outstretched.

"Perfect timing! Now it's time for you to try out my newly developed technique, Immortal Art: Divine Sandstorm!"
