Urashiki Otsutsuki had still been gloating when the incoming chakra Black Rods abruptly interrupted his technique.
Looking at the chakra Black Rods on the ground and the unmistakably familiar chakra of the Ōtsutsuki Clan within them, Urashiki could have figured out with his ass that Uzumaki Meihui had arrived.
But could Meihui still be considered a member of the Uzumaki clan? By now, he was more like "Ōtsutsuki Meihui."
Perhaps even Meihui himself had failed to notice how pure the Ōtsutsuki bloodline within him had become.
"Tch. What a pain."
The space-time vortex opened by Yomotsu Hirasaka had already closed because of Meihui's chakra Black Rods. After all, before Meihui successfully unlocked Moon God Mode, his greatest specialty had been Sealing Jutsu.
In his hands, even the simplest ninjutsu carried some degree of sealing effect, whether it disrupted the gathering of chakra, weakened a technique's power, or something similar.
"Let go of the guy on your shoulder, and I'll let you leave."
Meihui and Sasuke had already blocked Urashiki Otsutsuki's path. Neither wanted to interfere too much with events in the past, and they didn't want Urashiki Otsutsuki meddling at will, either. If he went and killed Gaara, they would have to search everywhere for the One-Tail. What a hassle.
What puzzled Meihui most was whether Urashiki had some personal grudge against Gaara. Why did he keep picking on him? It made sense while Gaara was a Jinchūriki, but later on, he was just an ordinary person. Why had Urashiki Otsutsuki still attacked him then? Meihui found the whole thing a royal pain.
Gaara: I'd really like to know why, too. This guy definitely has something against me.
Urashiki Otsutsuki acted as though he hadn't heard Meihui and took off with Gaara slung over his shoulder. *What a joke. If
