Otsutsuki Urashiki

Otsutsuki Yuhao's feet seemed to tread on invisible steps as he floated lightly in midair.

When their eyes met and they saw Otsutsuki Yuhao, Borito's reaction was especially intense.

He sprang to his feet, his body leaning backward involuntarily as if pulled by an invisible force. His face showed utter disbelief.

"Another... another Otsutsuki."

Boruto murmured under his breath, his voice full of bitterness and unease.

Beside him, Uchiha Sasuke remained on high alert. His brows were furrowed, his eyes sharp as a hawk's as he stared fixedly at Otsutsuki Yuhao, not daring to let his guard down for an instant.

Otsutsuki Yuhao's appearance made the whole scene unbearably tense, as if a storm were about to break.

The man before them wore a white lab coat. Otsutsuki Yuhao had silver-white hair, short horns, six black tomoe-shaped markings on his chest, and a red spiral emblem on his back, beneath which nine tomoe were arranged in a three-by-three grid.

His attire looked much like that of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. And Otsutsuki Yuhao's purple Rinnegan, with six tomoe, further convinced Uchiha Sasuke that Yuhao belonged to the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Otsutsuki Yuhao furrowed his brows, showing some irritation.

"I asked you a question.

"Have you both gone mute?"

An invisible wave of force suddenly burst outward from Otsutsuki Yuhao.

Boruto and Uchiha Sasuke were instantly flung away.

Then Yuhao used Flying Thunder God to appear behind Uchiha Sasuke and strike him with a palm.

A terrible force slammed Uchiha Sasuke into the ground, smashing out a ten-meter-wide crater.

"Kid, if you don't talk, you'll end up just like that Otsutsuki!"

Otsutsuki Yuhao appeared in an instant before Boruto, who had just crashed to the ground.

By then, Boruto had finally come to his senses.

But Yuhao's words left his mind completely blank.

"An Otsutsuki? Aren't you the Otsutsuki?

How did that get turned around like this?"

Boruto thought in confusion.

"No, no, we're not Otsutsuki.

I'm Uzumaki Boruto, and the one who came with me is Uchiha Sasuke."

Seeing that Otsutsuki Yuhao was about to hit him, Boruto hurriedly shouted.

"Uzumaki Boruto? Uchiha Sasuke?"

Otsutsuki Yuhao was taken aback. He finally realized why Uchiha Sasuke had seemed so familiar to him.

But Otsutsuki Yuhao hadn't guessed that he was Uchiha Sasuke. He'd thought that the man with the Rinnegan in one eye was an extraterrestrial Otsutsuki.

Suddenly, the Boruto before him transformed into Uchiha Sasuke.

Otsutsuki Chentian wasn't surprised to see Boruto suddenly turn into Uchiha Sasuke, because he knew it was an ability of Sasuke's Rinnegan.

Sasuke, however, thought Yuhao was trying to hurt Boruto.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Yuhao and Sasuke instantly clashed.

Neither used ninjutsu; they fought using only Taijutsu.

In the blink of an eye, Yuhao and Sasuke had exchanged over a hundred blows.

The two grappled fiercely, trading blows in a brutal fight.

Their fists rained down on each other like droplets in a storm, moving as fast as lightning. Every punch and kick carried astonishing destructive force.

It was a breathtaking spectacle. Every collision seemed to make the air tremble, sending deafening sounds echoing through the scene.

Yuhao and Sasuke's figures seemed to transform into two whirlwinds, spinning wildly between heaven and earth.

However, though their Taijutsu seemed evenly matched, Uchiha Sasuke soon began to look tired. His movements were still swift, but no longer as fluid as before. Each punch seemed to take an effort.

Otsutsuki Yuhao, by contrast, looked just as serious, but his movements grew more powerful. Clearly, he still had plenty of strength in reserve.

"Not bad, kid!"

After dodging an attack, Otsutsuki Yuhao suddenly stopped and looked at Uchiha Sasuke coldly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't answer. He simply took a deep breath and steadied it.

He knew he had to find a way to defeat Otsutsuki Yuhao soon. Otherwise, he and Boruto would be in trouble.

Just then, Otsutsuki Yuhao launched a fierce attack. He darted forward, appearing in front of Uchiha Sasuke in an instant, and punched toward Sasuke's chest.

Sasuke immediately raised his fist to meet it. But Yuhao's fist suddenly changed direction, slipping past Sasuke's and striking straight at his abdomen.

"Bang!" A loud crash rang out as Yuhao's punch sent Sasuke flying. He hit the ground hard and groaned in pain.

Sasuke got up again, gritted his teeth, and threw himself at Otsutsuki Yuhao with all his strength.

Otsutsuki Yuhao didn't retreat. He countered with even greater force, their figures crossing in midair.

Bang, bang, bang!

Yuhao suddenly swept out with a kick, and Sasuke didn't have time to react before it knocked him off his feet.

Yuhao charged in at once, forming an Eight Extremes Fist stance before driving a vicious elbow into Sasuke's chest.

"Boom!"

At last, Sasuke was sent flying. His body only came to a stop after crashing into a small hill ten meters tall.

"Descendant of Indra, do you still want to continue?"

Otsutsuki Yuhao asked calmly.

"Cough... cough!"

"Could you be the legendary Sage of Six Paths?"

Sasuke coughed a few times, then asked Otsutsuki Yuhao with a bitter smile.

Although he had met the Sage of Six Paths, he had only seen him in his later years, so Sasuke wasn't very familiar with what he had looked like when he was young.

However, Otsutsuki Yuhao did look somewhat like the Sage of Six Paths, so it was only natural for Sasuke to suspect that Otsutsuki Chentian was the Sage.

Otsutsuki Yuhao shook his head. "No, I'm his third younger brother, Otsutsuki Yuhao."

"I see. I never knew the Sage of Six Paths had a second younger brother.

But, senior, how did you know I was a descendant of Indra?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked curiously, letting down his guard.

Otsutsuki Yuhao smiled confidently.

"Of course it's because of these eyes of mine. The moment I touched you, I saw through your identity.

You two came from a thousand years in the future. You were supposed to travel back twenty years to deal with the extraterrestrial Otsutsuki Urashiki and protect Naruto, but your battle with Otsutsuki Urashiki disrupted the journey and sent you to the wrong time and place.

Am I right?"

Hearing Otsutsuki Yuhao reveal where he and Boruto had come from so easily—and show that he knew them so well—Uchiha Sasuke was utterly shocked.

When Uchiha Sasuke considered that the stronger Otsutsuki Yuhao was, the greater his own odds of defeating Otsutsuki Urashiki would be, his expression finally settled.

"Senior, your Rinnegan really is impressive. You actually saw right through us!"

Otsutsuki Yuhao smiled.

"Otsutsuki Urashiki, who came here with you, won't arrive until three days from now, right?

Then he's in for a bad time!"
