A Battle with Everything on the Line

Uchiha Yū and Otsutsuki Urashiki wielded different abilities through their Rinnegan. Uchiha Yū's Rinnegan was also gold. He unfurled his summoning scroll, which held sturdy materials that transformed into molecular structures under his control.

He could manipulate them without restraint. Through his battles with several powerful opponents, Uchiha Yū's control had improved tremendously. He pushed his palm forward, and spikes emerged where Otsutsuki Urashiki had been floating. With a light wave of his hand, those spikes would instantly pierce the enemy.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sounds of collision rang out one after another. Looking at the spikes gathering around him, Otsutsuki Urashiki understood just how tough and penetrating they were.

He spread both hands forward, unleashing a powerful repulsive force.

"Shinra Tensei!"

This was one of the Rinnegan's basic powers, using control over gravitational force to repel attacks.

Unfortunately, Otsutsuki Urashiki had underestimated Uchiha Yū's method of control. The spikes that had been blocked by the repulsive force all extended another segment.

Caught off guard, Otsutsuki Urashiki's face gained a vivid red gash. Feeling the pain in his cheek, he instinctively covered it with a hand. Watching blood seep out drop by drop between his fingers, Otsutsuki Urashiki understood that even without the power of repulsion, his opponent could manipulate metal weapons to attack.

"What a troublesome bastard!"

"Amenosubaruhoshinomikoto! Jade Casket!"

A great deal of purple light appeared in his palms. Enveloped by that purple radiance, Uchiha Yū's manipulated metal weapons were erased.

The two entered a prolonged tug-of-war, pushing their respective strengths to the limit.

Uchiha Yū's power allowed him to control matter. So long as he could see it, he could basically manipulate it, which meant deadly weapons would appear around Otsutsuki Urashiki from time to time.

No matter how fast the other man's reactions were, he could
