• Sasuke launches an unauthorized assault on Urashiki, taking elite ANBU support and infiltrating the Harvesters’ flagship during a gap in the enemy fleet’s defenses.
• His ambush initially appears flawless, but Urashiki counters each attack with silver-gray crystals that freeze localized areas in time. Sasuke’s sword and Chidori are neutralized, and Urashiki’s chakra fishing rod severs the chakra connection between Sasuke’s left Rinnegan and his brain.
• Urashiki incapacitates Sasuke and kills or drains the two assisting ANBU members, harvesting their Lightning Release and sensory chakra. He also identifies Sasuke as Indra’s reincarnation and values his Yin chakra as a potential ingredient for elixir pills.
• Shinichi arrives via Flying Thunder God and orders Sasuke to retreat. He teleports Sasuke to Konoha Medical Division, where Sakura begins treating his fractured arm and Ino is expected to help restore the Rinnegan’s chakra link.
• Sasuke reveals that Urashiki’s crystals are not conventional space-time techniques: they freeze an individual’s timeline rather than space itself.
• Shinichi briefly engages Urashiki, using his unique Sage Mangekyo Rinnegan and Scorch Release to disrupt the fishing rod’s chakra threads. Urashiki withdraws instead of continuing the fight.

  • The crystals require line of sight.
  • Urashiki has a brief cooldown between activations.
  • His fishing threads are more sensitive to ordinary chakra than natural energy.
