• Urashiki Otsutsuki looked down on the weak Chakra he had collected and set his sights on the One-Tail in the Land of Wind.

Ye confronted Urashiki Otsutsuki in the desert and overwhelmed him with powerful eye abilities. Urashiki ended the chapter badly injured, unable to use his eyes, and terrified of Ye.

• Urashiki spotted Ye approaching and mocked his chakra before Ye launched a whip kick at him.
• Urashiki dodged through a spatial gate, hooked a thread of Ye’s chakra, and attacked with a barrage of ice spikes.

• Urashiki awakened his Rinnegan and tried to escape by splitting into paper cranes, but Ye’s right eye reversed the transformation and sealed away his ocular powers.

Ye crushed Urashiki and demanded to know where the Otsutsuki spacetime artifact, the Plow, was. After Urashiki resisted physical torture, Ye trapped him in a genjutsu where mortals repeatedly killed him, leaving Urashiki broken by the cycle.

• Ye shattered Urashiki’s chest, immobilized him, and asked where the Plow was.
• Urashiki mocked Ye and claimed mortals could never touch the divine artifact.
• Ye activated the chakra threads in Urashiki’s acupoints and magnified his pain tenfold.
• When Urashiki still defied him, Ye used a genjutsu to make him experience repeated deaths as a powerless bug.
