Chapter 308: Pursuing Otsutsuki Urashi 【47】
Once upon a time...
She was a genius of the Kirigakure, becoming a jonin of the village at a young age and earning the deep trust of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura. However, during a mission, she was struck by a meteor.
The boy who emerged from the shattered meteor instantly shattered the image of all other men in her heart. And during subsequent encounters, she was even more captivated by Fengye's charisma.
After that...
Fengye arrived at Kirigakure and fought an enemy within the village. The power he displayed during the battle was almost shocking, wave after wave, impacting her deeply.
Even though she knew it wasn't right, the scene of Fengye casually grabbing Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, and tossing him aside like a ragdoll still made her heart tremble.
After that...
For several years, she didn't encounter Fengye, but she continued to diligently train and grow in Kirigakure, gradually gaining the recognition of the village's ninjas. Not long ago, she succeeded as the Fifth Mizukage.
Fengye's campaign to unite the ninja world had already begun. Iwagakure fell in an instant, leaving only Kirigakure. As the Fifth Mizukage, she wanted to take responsibility and negotiate with Fengye to prevent further casualties.
But just as she was about to make a decision, Otsutsuki Urashi arrived.
He easily dealt with their combined attack, defeating Kirigakure's ANBU ninjas, Chojuro, and others. She, too, had exhausted a large amount of chakra and was in a perilous situation.
Just then...
That person appeared.
When she saw that figure again, bathed in a soft golden light, stepping out of a spatial passage, she realized one thing—she had to have that man no matter what!
Just as Terumi Mei's Byakugan shone with a dazzling light, and she gazed at the sky in a somewhat dazed manner, Otsutsuki Urashi, who was facing off against Fengye from a distance, had a brief glint of coldness in his eyes.
"Ame no Habakiri!"
The red fishing rod in his hand suddenly snapped forward, transforming into countless red fish hooks that flew towards Fengye.
Fengye's demeanor remained unchanged.
He hovered in the air, his hands grasping the hilt of the Rinne Sharingan Sword. Then, his figure flashed, and he vanished from his original spot.
Sssss!
As if the whole sky had turned into night.
In that darkness, a flash of white light streaked across the battlefield, appearing behind Otsutsuki Urashi and freezing in a sword-swinging pose.
Everything seemed to freeze.
Otsutsuki Urashi's expression was frozen on his face.
Sss! Sss! Sss! Sss!!!
In the sky, in the area where Otsutsuki Urashi was standing, it was as if countless mirrors had been placed, creating innumerable intertwining and orderly silk threads, like a fishing net.
These silk threads emitted no light, but they made the scene in that area appear as if it had been cut and torn—a distortion of space!
Boom!
Otsutsuki Urashi's body exploded.
The shattered body turned into countless red origami paper cranes in mid-air, flying in all directions. Then, at a great distance from Fengye, Otsutsuki Urashi's figure reappeared.
"So fast..."
"...That speed."
Otsutsuki Urashi's expression turned stiff.
It seemed like he had narrowly avoided the attack, but his body was covered in wounds. If he hadn't been extremely vigilant, he might have been completely struck by Fengye's assault! The severed parts of his body throbbed with intense pain, a burning sensation that permeated not only his flesh but also his soul.
"This attack..."
"Damn, if I had taken the full brunt of it... I would've died!"
The look in Otsutsuki Urashi's eyes shifted from grave to fearful as he realized the gap in strength between them.
How could he be so strong?! Otsutsuki Urashi took a breath, and the void behind him instantly opened up. He flashed backward and disappeared into the rift in space, choosing to retreat decisively.
It wasn't entirely his fault, as his understanding of Kaguya's strength was still rooted a millennium ago. In fact, Kaguya's divine tree, which she had planted in this world, had successfully absorbed a large amount of dragon vein chakra from this world.
"... "
Feng Ye remained calm as he watched Urashi Otsutsuki escape using the Yellow Spring Dry River Bed.
He took a step forward, and in an instant, he appeared at the entrance of the spatial passage, pursuing Urashi into it.
Urashi Otsutsuki's chakra was slightly stronger than the Six Paths Power that Feng Ye obtained from the Sage of Six Paths, probably somewhere between the first and second stages. If he devoured enough chakra, he could barely be considered at the second stage.
Although Feng Ye remembered Urashi fighting with Six Paths Sasuke, resembling a four or five-year-old Naruto and Sasuke, and not even cracking the ground, as one of the pursuers of Kaguya, the power he possessed was indeed at the Six Paths level.
Feng Ye did not intend to fight in Kirigakure, as the aftermath of their battle could easily destroy the village.
Swish!
Feng Ye entered the spatial rift of the Yellow Spring Dry River Bed.
This was a dark spatial rift, similar to the Kamui dimension, but not quite the same. The Yellow Spring Dry River Bed opened here could lead to any other dimension, but the farther the distance, the more chakra it consumed.
"You're pursuing me?"
Upon seeing Feng Ye chasing after him, Urashi Otsutsuki gritted his teeth, and the white eye in his pupil surged with power, transforming into wave-like patterns.
Feng Ye's display of strength earlier made it clear to Urashi that one wrong move could result in his immediate death, so he dared not be careless. He switched to the Rinnegan mode and entered the time regression mode.
Unlike Feng Ye's time reversal ability.
Feng Ye's time reversal could restore himself and anything he touched to their previous state, while Urashi's time regression sent him back to the world a few seconds ago. A more precise term for this ability was "returning to the past!" This ability was, in fact, extremely powerful. If one could go back far enough into the past, it would be one of the most overpowered abilities. However, Urashi could only go back a few seconds, which was practically useless.
Silence filled the dark rift.
Feng Ye and Urashi Otsutsuki stared at each other for a few seconds.
It was as if something had happened.
Yet, at the same time, it felt like nothing had transpired.
Suddenly,
Urashi's gaze flickered, and his expression changed as if he had seen something unexpected. He looked at Feng Ye with a hint of shock.
A new wound appeared on his body, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
"Another type of time regression..."
"Interesting."
Feng Ye immediately understood what was happening as he witnessed this scene.
A faint smile appeared on his face, and he swung his sword at Urashi Otsutsuki.
If Urashi could go back far enough into the past, it would indeed be troublesome. However, being limited to a few seconds in the past rendered his ability almost useless, even slightly inferior to future prediction.
With future prediction, one could at least foresee their injury and take action to avoid it. But with this ability to go back a few seconds, the damage already inflicted could not be undone.
It was a meaningless ability.
If it could erase the damage he had suffered and trap him in a time loop, making him aware of what had happened, similar to the Izanami, then perhaps he might have said, 'Hatake Feng Ye! I'm here to negotiate!'
In that case, Feng Ye might have considered negotiating.
After all, being trapped in a time loop and forced to kill the same person repeatedly would drive anyone to madness.
