Six months later.
In the void beyond the Shinobi World.
Space warped slightly, and a figure emerged from nothingness.
Urashiki Otsutsuki carried a red fishing rod over his shoulder and a gourd on his back. His usual flippant smile had long since vanished, and caution showed in his eyes.
"Finally here..."
Urashiki stopped, staring at the blue planet before him.
From the outside, there was nothing special about this planet. Blue oceans, green continents, white clouds-it looked no different from other planets that supported life.
But Urashiki knew this planet was anything but simple.
He still vividly remembered the Kekkei Mōra aura he had sensed from far away two years ago, as well as the feeling of being watched six months ago.

Urashiki had no time to think, much less look back. He swung his fishing rod sharply, tearing a rift straight through the space before him!
He lunged forward, plunging straight into the rift!
Boom!!!
At the very instant Urashiki vanished, pitch-black flames ignited
