In the space below, Urashiki was also struggling to cope with the combined attack from Taiichi three.

Although they didn't cause him any real harm, it still hurt a lot when they hit him.

A ruthless and resolute glint flashed in Urashiki's eyes. He suddenly took a large step back, temporarily disengaging from the battle, and quickly formed a strange hand seal.

"Let me show you what true power is!"

He let out a low growl.

His originally pure white eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a pair of Six-Tomoe Rinnegan radiating an eerie red light!

"This is... the Sharingan, no, wait, why are there six Tomoe and concentric rings?"

Kakashi gasped in shock; he had never seen eyes like these before, yet they were so similar to the Sharingan.

Yamato and Naruto felt a sudden, overwhelming pressure emanating from the level of life itself, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Only Taiichi's gaze was extremely solemn. He didn't know what kind of power those eyes possessed, but judging from the Mangekyo, they must have their own unique Dōjutsu.

Before Taiichi others could make a move, Urashiki's eyes changed again, from the red Six-Tomoe Rinnegan to the blue Rinnegan.

At this moment Urashiki's aura became increasingly profound, giving the impression of a completely different person.

He didn't attack first, but instead looked at the four people who surrounded him with a hint of mockery.

This time, he faced Taiichi others' attacks with greater ease and composure, as if he possessed a godlike perspective, observing everyone's every move.

"Ha ha, in my eyes, all your attacks are in vain." He uttered a cold, mocking laugh.

Before the words were even finished, Taiyi, who had just finished using Flying Thunder God, Taiichi alarm bell ringing in his heart!

Without hesitation, he activated Flying Thunder God again, instantly appearing beside a giant rock with an engraving dozens of meters away.

Almost at the same instant he disappeared, a red hook flashed past the spot where he had been standing.

However, Yamato was not so lucky!

As he dodged, he also manipulated the Wood Style bind Urashiki, but the next second after he Body Flicker, he suddenly felt his body stiffen.

A red fishing hook seemed to know he would be there, waiting in advance, and he deliberately ran into it.

"Well!"

Yamato let out a muffled groan, his body instantly frozen in place! Then, a flash of red light appeared, and the Chakra within him was sucked away by the fishing hook!

His face turned deathly pale at a visible speed, his body swayed a few times, and then he collapsed weakly to the ground, completely losing his fighting ability.

"Captain Yamato!" Naruto's eyes widened in horror.

Kakashi was also shocked and angry, but more than that, he was wary of that strange ability.

"Whoosh----whoosh----"

Urashiki had successfully taken down one person, was breathing heavily, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Clearly, activating the Time Reversal ability had placed an enormous burden on him, and his severely injured body could hardly withstand repeated use.

But a smug grin spread across his face. "See? Before the power of time, your struggles are futile! Who's next?"

"Damn it!" Naruto roared and was about to rush forward, but Kakashi held him back tightly.

Taiichi's eyes were as cold as knives. Yamato's fall instantly worsened the situation. He took a deep breath and quickly Hand Seals.

"Yin Seal - Release!"

In an instant, the Rhombus Mark on his forehead spread out as if it were alive, transforming into mysterious black patterns that covered his forehead and both sides of his cheeks!

A torrent of Chakra, even larger and purer than before, erupted with a deafening roar!

"Oh? You have another trump card?" Urashiki's eyes narrowed, but then he became even more frantic. "Let's see how long you can last!"

The battle escalates once again! Taiichi, having broken the Yin Seal, experiences a surge in his Chakra!

He no longer held back his Chakra, using Body Flicker Technique in conjunction with Flying Thunder God Technique to achieve speed that left behind afterimages! He Chakra Enhanced Strength Fist and various Ninjutsu with ease, bombarding Urashiki like a storm!

Now Kakashi and Naruto could only harass. Fortunately, they managed to rescue Yamato in the chaos; otherwise, even if they weren't killed by Urashiki, they would have been caught in the aftermath of the battle.

Urashiki also went all out, switching back and forth between Rinnegan red and blue Rinnegan. His constant use allowed Taiichi to gradually understand the abilities of his two eyes.

The red eyes can open space-time tunnels, making it like an alternative form of Flying Thunder God.

The blue eyes, however, are not the kind of precognition that Urashiki mentioned. They are more like a partial time travel, but the time is limited and the consumption is quite large, so Urashiki rarely uses them anymore.

The Red Light Fishing Rod danced so tightly that there was no gaps, and the two collided, separated, and collided again at high speed in the ruins!

Each clash erupted with deafening roars and blinding flashes of energy, further ravaging the already chaotic underground space beyond recognition.

Kakashi and Naruto did their best to provide support from the outside, but their attacks had little effect on Urashiki, who was in full power. Instead, they had to be constantly wary of the deadly fishhook that could be thrown at any moment.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Urashiki roared inwardly.

This human named Taiichi in front of me is simply a monster! His Chakra seems to be inexhaustible!

Every time it seemed that the opponent's Chakra was about to be completely exhausted, the opponent's aura would mysteriously and instantly recover completely (Taiichi silently consumed Attribute Points to add points, and with each point of attribute, Chakra was instantly restored).

This seemingly invincible and inexhaustible opponent left Urashiki feeling an unprecedented sense of frustration and despair.

His prized Time Retrogression was impossible to use continuously while he was severely injured, while his opponent seemed to be able to use it like a perpetual motion machine!

"This can't go on!"

A hint of madness and ruthlessness flashed in Urashiki's eyes.

He knew his severely injured body wouldn't last much longer. He would either be worn down to death, or—gamble everything!

After a fierce battle, Urashiki used Yomotsu Hirasaka to escape the battlefield, but instead of fleeing, he let out an extremely shrill roar.

Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, he personally ripped out one of those blue Rinnegan!

Ugh--!

The intense pain caused his body to convulse, and blood instantly stained half of his cheek.

But his face was filled with a morbid fanaticism as he unhesitatingly shoved the still-bleeding Rinnegan into his mouth!

"Crunch----crunch----" A chilling chewing sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards, he bit off the Red Light Fish Basket at his waist with a "crunch" and swallowed it whole, just like eating candy!

"What—what is he doing?!"

Naruto was so frightened that his voice changed tone. Kakashi was also terrified, having never seen such insane self-harm.

After swallowing the eye and the fishing rod, Urashiki's body suddenly arched, letting out an inhuman roar of pain! His body began to deform violently!

Urashiki's legs stretched out like bird claws, white wing-like bone horns grew from the top of his head, and a golden Rinnegan squeezed out from the middle of his forehead, pushing open the skin.

This is Urashiki's final form, and also his strongest form.

"You scum, I'm going to slaughter you all!"

Urashiki declared his victory, his aura spreading wildly in all directions.

Taiichi stood not far from him, staring intently at Urashiki, whose appearance had drastically changed, and he himself was filled with unease.

This Otsutsuki has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He can even transform after eating the eyes, and his aura looks at least twice as strong as before.

Naruto, however, wasn't intimidated by this imposing aura. Pointing at Urashiki's new form, he immediately began to mock, "Haha, Taiichi, look, this guy has turned into a birdman!"

Urashiki couldn't take this. In this state, the immense power made him already quite irritable, and Naruto's provocation caused him to explode.

"Scum, die! Amenosubaruhoshinomikoto - Yuhon!"

He stretched out his right hand, aimed at Naruto, his Chakra highly concentrated, purple light flashing, and a series of bright energy blasts shot towards Naruto.

The incident happened so suddenly and so fast that even Taiichi didn't have time to react.

When Taiichi turned around, Naruto had already been hit by five light blasts. He was like a person hit by a high-speed train, spitting out blood. His body flew backward like a broken sack, crashing heavily into the rock wall in the distance and embedding itself deeply. His life or death was unknown!

With just one strike, Naruto, who was as resilient as a cockroach Naruto, was instantly crippled!

Naruto!

Taiichi's heart sank to the bottom. Even he would find it quite difficult to deal with this move alone.

He dared not hesitate any longer, Hand Seals, and the Natural Energy in the space frantically gathered towards him.

Sage Mode - Activated!

Buzz!

Senjutsu Chakra rippled around him, and a faint golden light shone deep within his eyes. The originally black Yin Seal patterns also turned into a faint gold at this moment.

His perception, reaction speed, strength, and speed all experienced a qualitative leap!

Sage Mode consumes a huge amount of resources; now it's time to test your reserves (Attribute Points).

"Oh? It's that power called 'Senjutsu' again?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Urashiki's golden eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper savagery. "Even so, you must die!"

The two figures collided with a deafening roar, like two shooting stars!

Boom!

Even a simple physical collision, a shockwave amplified by Chakra, caused the entire underground space to groan in agony!

The violent force peeled away and shattered large sections of the surrounding rock walls!

The energy of the Dragon Vein also appears unstable under such collisions.

Kakashi, who had retreated to a distance, was once again deeply shocked by this scene. Was this truly the destructive power a human could achieve?

At this point, he was completely unable to intervene in the battle; the speed at which the two fighters were exchanging blows was exceeding the limits of his visual perception.

In addition----

Looking up, he saw the underground space on the verge of collapse, and Naruto and Yamato lying unconscious on the ground not far away.

Kakashi decisively chose to follow his heart, Body Flicker beside Naruto, carrying him on his back, and then Yamato, and together they quickly retreated outside.

In Sage Mode, Taiichi once again possesses the ability to directly confront Urashiki!

He also discovered that since switching to this mode, Urashiki's Rinnegan abilities, such as Time Reversal, Yomotsu Hirasaka, and the Red Fishhook, seemed to be unusable.

This greatly reduced the difficulty of dealing with him. Although his opponent had the advantage in strength and speed, he was still very confident as long as he didn't achieve an absolute crushing victory.

Urashiki is now full of confidence. He doesn't have to face a siege; he only needs to deal with the enemy in front of him. Moreover, his strength and speed are far superior to his opponent's. What reason does he have to fail?

Urashiki punched Taiichi, sending him flying and embedding him directly into the opposite wall. With his right hand, he aimed and fired Yuhon Light Bullet like a meteor.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The entire wall was thinned by the impact.

Rocks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

Urashiki stared intently at the pile of ruins, but in the next instant, a giant fire dragon attacked from the left, striking Urashiki squarely.

Taiichi followed closely behind, and before the fire dragon subsided, he rushed into the sea of fire, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks at Urashiki.

The banging collisions shattered the last bit of flame, and Taiichi's body was sent flying by Urashiki's punch.

While in mid-air, he activated Flying Thunder God, once again deviating from his original trajectory and avoiding the attack of the Yuhon Light Bullet.

Taiichi added another attribute to his physique: stamina recovery and full Chakra restoration. His physique is now:

[Constitution: 32 (6/32)]

Having gained 6 Attribute Points in the battle so far, and looking at the 20 Attribute Points he still had left, Taiichi remained confident.

Unfortunately, he had tried everything he could. In close combat, he could only rely on his skills to remain undefeated, but his Ninjutsu couldn't break through his defenses.

The strongest Fire Style requires a charging time to reach its maximum power, but when the opponent's speed is significantly higher than one's own, there is hardly such an opportunity.

Looking at his Fire Nature Transformation at Lv14 (1243/6000) and his Chakra Control at Lv13 (3104/5000).

Taiichi gritted his teeth and added 5 Skill Points to fire attribute and 2 Skill Points to Chakra Control.

A flood of memories erupted from his mind, and a strange power washed over Taiichi's mind and body. It was as if he had been practicing Fire Style for a hundred years in a magical space, and had now been completely transformed.

[Fire Nature Transformation Lv15 (243/7000)]

[Chakra Control Lv14 (104/6000)]

The skill level upgrade gave Taiyi Taiichi more confidence, and he charged at Urashiki again, casually unleashing several Phoenix Sage Fire.

Urashiki watched Taiichi's movements and curled his lip in disdain. It was the same old attack pattern again. The scum on the other side had used it seven or eight times already. Didn't he get tired of it?

He clenched his fist, intending to casually swat away the incoming Fireball as before, but the moment the Fireball approached, the even more intense heat and the frantic warning signals forced him to temporarily stop.

Unfortunately, it was still too slow.

Two loud explosions rang out, and Urashiki's right hand was blown to pieces. Then, he felt a sharp pain on his right cheek and was sent flying by a punch.

Taiichi's face lit up with joy; this was the first time he had truly injured Urashiki.

Urashiki was now enraged, his fury mixed with a hint of fear.

Even in his strongest form, he was still injured, albeit with minor wounds, but they still caused him harm.

"You lowly ant, I'll kill you!"

The two clashed again, this time truly evenly matched, a pure contest of strength, speed, Chakra, and willpower!

Taiichi made the most of the panel. Whenever his stamina or Chakra was about to run out, he would not hesitate to spend Attribute Points to add to it.

As Urashiki, he grew increasingly alarmed and desperate! He gradually felt as if he were fighting against a mountain of energy that could never be exhausted!

The opponent's Chakra seemed inexhaustible; every time he appeared to be on the verge of exhaustion, he would pounce on him again with boundless energy!

He himself was already severely injured, and he forcibly absorbed the Rinnegan and the divine artifact. Although the power of his ultimate form was strong, it was also extremely violent.

Now his power is rapidly fading, and the backlash pain is crashing against his nerves like waves, making his body feel like it's about to completely collapse!

"No! I am not reconciled! I am a noble Otsutsuki! How can I be subjugated by inferior beings—"

Urashiki let out a defiant screech, his attacks becoming increasingly frantic, yet also increasingly chaotic.

Taiichi keenly observed the decline in Urashiki's aura and the distortion of his movements.

He knew the decisive moment had arrived!

Sage Art: Super Fire Jade Rasengan.

He raised one hand high, and a giant Rasengan, two meters in diameter and radiating a dazzling golden-white Kakkou, condensed in his palm! The violent energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to distort slightly!

"Roar!"

Urashiki also sensed a deadly threat, gathering the last of his strength and bringing his arms together.

Amenosubaruhoshinomikoto - Dragon Palace

A pure purple dragon-shaped energy pillar was blasted out, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the energy pillar seemed somewhat thin, as if it lacked staying power.

The golden-white spiral Light Sphere and the purple beam of destruction collided violently above the core of the Dragon Vein, like two comets!

Buzz!

An indescribable roar, as if the world had just been created, and a blinding light instantly engulfed everything!

A violent energy storm swept through the entire underground space, causing large sections of the surrounding rock walls to collapse like sandcastles. The underground space could no longer hold on and collapsed with a deafening roar.

The light and the shock of the explosion lasted for several seconds before gradually subsiding.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a figure staggered to a stand.

It's Taiichi!

His clothes were tattered, the seal marks on his cheeks had faded, and the mark on his forehead was dull and lifeless. The once vast Chakra within the Sealing Space was now completely gone.

At this moment, blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing was extremely weak; he had clearly reached his limit.

But he remained standing.

Opposite him, Urashiki's body lay limply in the huge pit, like a broken doll.

The golden Rinnegan on his forehead had disappeared, and his original eyes had returned to white, but now only emptiness and disbelief remained in them.

His body began to crumble and dissipate like a weathered sand sculpture, eventually turning into dust and disappearing completely from this space-time, leaving not even a trace of Chakra.

Urashiki Otsutsuki, fallen!
