  • Inside the shared consciousness space formed by Boruto’s mind and Momoshiki’s Karma, Yuzhen uses his Otsutsukified form, displaying both the Jōgan and a superior red, Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
  • Momoshiki realizes he cannot resist Yuzhen’s control. Yuzhen activates his Chakra Compilation ability and draws power from Momoshiki’s Karma.
  • As a result, Boruto’s chakra rises to an extraordinary level—comparable to Kurama’s—and Momoshiki’s abilities become accessible through Boruto’s Karma.
  • Boruto gains access to Kamimusubi, a technique that absorbs incoming chakra-based attacks, converts them into energy, and allows them to be reflected with amplified power. Its limitation is that each absorbed technique can only be reused once.
  • Sasuke arrives after recovering from Yuzhen’s treatment. He confirms Kamimusubi’s overwhelming defensive potential, recalling how Naruto and he had to rely on taijutsu against Momoshiki because ordinary ninjutsu and even sealing techniques could be absorbed.

  • They arrive in a frozen dimension—the same type of remote world where Sasuke once encountered Momoshiki and Kinshiki. The location is isolated enough for them to fight without endangering the planet.
  • Yuzhen remarks that Sasuke’s space-time technique must consume enormous amounts of energy and jokingly warns him not to resent losing quickly.
  • Sasuke confidently explains that his condition is different from the past: his enhanced Yin Style chakra rapidly replenishes the energy consumed by his space-time ninjutsu. This convinces him that he can fight at full strength.
