Elsewhere.
Sasuke's eyes were locked on Urashiki in midair, the killing intent in them cold enough to chill the bone.
Towering fury filled his chest. After that barrage of mindless mockery, he was already seething with hostility.
He wanted only to end this quickly and smash that arrogant alien bastard with a single punch.
Without another word, Sasuke flicked his wrist, and violent lightning release chakra erupted!
Dazzling arcs of lightning coiled around his entire arm, crackling and bursting without pause.
A compressed Chidori Sharp Spear took shape, its piercing edge aimed straight at Urashiki's face!
A blinding flash of lightning suddenly tore through the forest's gloom!
Brilliant lightning shot skyward, lighting the pitch-black woods as brightly as day.
He had resolved to exploit Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's moment of complacency and severely wound him with one attack—or even kill him outright!
But Urashiki had lived for countless ages and knew innumerable dirty tricks.
His mind might frequently go haywire, but his abilities had made him especially sensitive to surprise attacks involving shinobi jutsu. He had developed something like an instinctive counterattack.
He had never truly let his guard down.
His Byakugan tracked every fluctuation in Sasuke's chakra, leaving no opening.
Urashiki remained perfectly still in midair as he watched the lethal lightning hurtle toward him.
Thick contempt filled his narrow eyes, and his lips curled into a mocking smile.
The next second, he casually flicked the red fishing rod in his hand!
Humm-
An uncanny devouring force instantly spread outward.
The lethal lightning release attack Sasuke had poured his chakra into was swallowed clean in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a spark.
Not only that, Urashiki abruptly turned his wrist, instantly amplifying the lightning release power he had absorbed and blasting it back with twice the force!
Boom!
