Tobirama didn't linger in the village for long after his resurrection. Even though Tsunade invited him to stay for a meal, he declined and immediately set off for the Sand Special District.
He was concerned that Urashiki might launch another surprise attack on Hashirama, and there were still many matters to deal with in the Sand Special District.
Sunagakure had fully submitted to Konoha, but over 300 of Rasa's loyalists had been sealed and imprisoned. These individuals would be transported to Konoha's prisons, where they'd have their will broken down before being assigned to labor.
Among the 5,000 Konoha ninja, two large squads of 2,000 were prepared to be sent to the border of Amegakure to assist Konan, Shikaku, and Shisui in keeping Hanzō at bay. Should Hanzō dare to provoke a war with Konoha, it would only lead to Amegakure's downfall.
Another 1,000 shinobi were tasked with guarding and transporting prisoners, while the rest, alongside the Sand Special District ninja who had merged with Konoha, would focus on subduing the aristocrats and daimyos of the Land of Wind, and organizing a town security force.
Soon, Konoha's ninja would take responsibility for national security, enforcing Konoha's laws across the land.
Tobirama fully supported this policy, recognizing that Yoichi's plan was to consolidate power. Previously, taxes were collected by local prominent families, leading to the emergence of hereditary nobility.
Now, Konoha aimed to centralize resources and manpower, vastly increasing the possibilities of what could be achieved.
Tobirama, witnessing Konoha's evolution, felt as if his own intellectual barriers had been lifted.
He had always been a visionary, creating new departments and institutions within the village, such as the Ninja Academy, the ANBU, and the hospital. Other shinobi villages had modeled themselves after Konoha, following Tobirama's innovations.
During wars, Tobirama had also experimented on captured enemy shinobi, developing various forbidden techniques—earning him Orochimaru's admiration, even though their research diverged, with Orochimaru focused on immortality while Tobirama developed forbidden jutsu to enhance power.
Now that Tobirama understood Yoichi's strategy, he offered his quiet support. Unlike his older brother, Hashirama, who was often oblivious to political subtleties, Tobirama had no hesitation about how daimyos were being controlled with genjutsu. As long as it served the interests of the Land of Fire, he considered it acceptable.
In the coming year, the Senju brothers would remain in the Sand Special District—one managing governance, the other overseeing the construction of oases.
Within a year, the Land of Wind would be fully integrated into Konoha, bringing prosperity to the region.
After having lunch at Tsunade's house, Yoichi continued with his work.
At midday, he asked Tsunade to help him create a new clone—this time focusing on the Byakugan gene to facilitate his adaptation to the Tenseigan.
Tsunade agreed but also warned him that repeatedly creating clones could damage his soul. Unlike ordinary clones that could be reabsorbed, these would be permanent separations of a part of his soul.
However, Yoichi wasn't concerned. He was still practicing the mental cultivation technique, and his spiritual energy grew stronger each day. Losing part of his soul to the clone wouldn't significantly affect him.
Reluctantly, Tsunade agreed, finding the task simple enough. She had also made significant progress in developing a genetic modification serum, based on her research into the differences between Yoichi's and her own abilities when practicing the gene-based techniques.
Once perfected, the serum would allow more shinobi to cultivate these genetic abilities.
It was exciting news. Ordinary people, and even some high-level shinobi, struggled with gene-based techniques. Unless their genes were optimized to a certain extent, they couldn't even begin practicing. Orochimaru himself had been unable to master it until he modified his own genes.
Leaving the Senju compound, Yoichi found himself with little to do. He was merely waiting for his new villa to be completed, where he could finally move in and relax. The house he was currently living in had been built when he was still single, and it wasn't designed to accommodate so many people.
Since his wooden clone was handling everything at the Hokage's office, and Rumi had been giving him strange looks lately, Yoichi decided to visit Kushina instead.
"Maybe I'll tell her about Urashiki while I'm there," Yoichi thought. Whenever he thought of Kushina, a feeling of conquest stirred within him. While her words were often defiant, her body had always obediently followed his commands. Now, he just needed her mind to follow her heart.
As Yoichi sensed Kushina's home, he smiled. "Perfect. She's home, and Naruto isn't. I can avoid unnecessary distractions."
With that, Yoichi used the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport directly into Kushina's room.
"Hmm, not in the room?" he wondered aloud.
"Who is it? Naruto?" Kushina's voice called from the bathroom.
A moment later, she emerged, and upon seeing Yoichi, her expression shifted to anger. Her eyes turned red with rage, and she rushed forward, attacking him with fists and kicks.
Although the blows didn't hurt—Kushina hadn't even channeled any chakra—it was more of an emotional outburst than an actual attack.
Given Yoichi's current strength, even without chakra or genetic energy, his skin was as tough as diamond. He could withstand hours of gunfire without so much as a scratch.
After about ten minutes, when Kushina was breathless and exhausted, Yoichi finally spoke. "Kushina, what's gotten into you?"
"You bastard!" Kushina shouted, grabbing Yoichi by the shoulder and attempting to bite his neck. However, her teeth, no match for his hardened body, left her with aching gums instead.
Cradling her mouth, she glared at Yoichi and held up a pregnancy test in front of his face, demanding, "Explain this!"
"What's that?" Yoichi asked, feigning confusion, though he already knew.
"Don't play dumb with me! You switched my medication! I went to check, and it's just vitamins!" Kushina accused, holding up a bottle of pills she'd been taking.
Lately, she had been feeling nauseous, fatigued, and worried. As a widow, she hadn't dared go to the hospital directly, so she'd used a shadow clone and transformation jutsu to purchase a pregnancy test.
To her shock, the result had been positive. She had tested herself multiple times, and each time, the results had been the same. Unable to believe it, she had nearly collapsed in panic.
For all her precautions—taking medication that sometimes made her feel too sick to eat—she had still ended up pregnant.
How would others react to the news that she, a widowed kunoichi, was pregnant?
After her initial panic, Kushina had carefully examined the pills she had been taking and discovered they had been tampered with. The pills looked identical to contraceptives, but someone had swapped them with vitamins. And who else could have done it but the man standing in front of her?
"Alright, I did it," Yoichi admitted, his face showing a hint of 'guilt'. "I didn't plan this from the start, but I've come to care for you, Kushina. I truly like you, and that's why I did it. I'm sorry."
"I love Minato!" Kushina immediately interrupted, her voice firm and resolute, as if reminding herself. "I loved him before, and I love him now!"
"Kushina, you're lying to yourself."
"No, I'm not! Mmph—!"
Before Kushina could finish her retort, Yoichi silenced her with a kiss. Stunned, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Even now? How could he even think of doing something like this?
She struggled fiercely, pushing against him with all her might, but without using chakra, she was no match for him. In no time, she found herself pinned down on the bed, unable to move.
As her resistance waned, Kushina's mind became overwhelmed with helplessness, tears streaming down her face.
'How could he say he liked me and still do something like this?' she thought, utterly defeated.
Just as she was about to give up completely, Yoichi suddenly pulled away and met her tear-filled gaze. "Don't worry, Kushina. I know better than to do something like this right now. It wouldn't be good for the child."
"Excuses! Then what the hell are you doing right now?" she demanded, furious.
"I was just testing if you'd resist. If you truly loved Minato, why didn't you use the Adamantine Chains or Nine-Tails chakra to escape? I wasn't even using much strength. Even a chunin could have pushed me off."
Yoichi's words struck a chord as he stared into her evasive eyes. "Why didn't you fight back, Kushina?"
"I did! You're just too strong!" she insisted, though her voice lacked conviction.
"Kushina, I've told you, I wasn't using much strength."
As Yoichi spoke, he kissed her again. Though she was pinned beneath him, Kushina didn't turn her head away or struggle as much. It was as though her body had grown accustomed to his touch.
"See, even now, Kushina, you've gotten used to it."
"That's not true! You're lying! I was only enduring because I didn't want Naruto to find out. This time, I definitely won't let you have your way—I'll... I'll…"
She tried to muster up the words to say she would terminate the pregnancy, but no matter how hard she tried, the words refused to come out. Instead, she broke down, crouching on the floor in despair.
"You know that's not possible, Kushina," Yoichi said, lifting her back onto his lap. Seeing her blank expression, he continued, "Just give birth to the child. I'll take care of everything."
"No, no! Minato would never forgive me! I'm not a good wife…"
Tears streamed down Kushina's face as she lamented her guilt.
"No one has to know, Kushina. When Minato is revived, we'll pretend this never happened. I'll tell Mina it's my child from outside, and she'll only blame me. You can return to your normal family life."
Yoichi's words were meant to comfort her, but in reality, they were part of his plan. Once the child was born, Kushina would be even more deeply tied to him, unable to sever their bond.
"Besides, you don't know medical ninjutsu, and there's no one who would perform such a procedure. What are you going to do, ask Mina or Tsunade?"
Kushina shook her head vigorously at the thought. She would never let anyone else find out she was pregnant.
"No, no… I shouldn't do this to Minato," she murmured.
"He won't know, Kushina. As long as you don't say anything, Minato will never know."
Holding her hand, Yoichi pressed his point further. "Think carefully, Kushina. This is the best solution."
Kushina fell silent, her mind spinning in turmoil.
After her initial panic and outburst of anger, she began to calm down. Ending the pregnancy was nearly impossible; in the shinobi world, no one would do such a thing. And despite herself, she couldn't help but place a protective hand on her stomach. She didn't want to end a life before it even began.
No matter how hard she thought, there seemed to be only one path forward: to have the child.
But to follow Yoichi's plan? The thought of handing over her child and pretending it wasn't hers gnawed at her, something she couldn't fully accept.
"I need to think. Please, just leave me alone for now," Kushina finally said, wanting time to process everything.
"I actually came here for another reason today. But this news was an unexpected surprise."
Seeing her glare, Yoichi quickly raised his hands. "Alright, alright, I'll get to the point. Your situation has become more dangerous, Kushina. You need to move to the Uchiha compound. I'll arrange for a house near mine, or I'll build one for you and Naruto."
"I'm not moving there!" she shot back.
"You should listen to the full explanation first, Kushina."
Yoichi interrupted her, explaining, "There's another enemy targeting the Nine-Tails. He's likely someone on par with the Sage of Six Paths. Tobirama came back to warn me, and this enemy also has space-time abilities. We need to set up a sensory barrier around your home."
Ordinary barriers couldn't stop space-time ninjutsu, much less a technique as powerful as Urashiki's Yomotsu Hirasaka. The only way to counter it was with a sensory barrier that could detect chakra signatures. If a powerful chakra appeared, Yoichi could use the Flying Thunder God technique to rush to the scene.
"An enemy like the Sage of Six Paths?" Kushina repeated in disbelief. It sounded too far-fetched, and she suspected Yoichi was simply making an excuse to move her closer.
Sighing, Yoichi said, "Tsunade knows too. Tobirama informed me and then immediately returned to the Sand Special District because the enemy is also targeting Hashirama. He's looking for powerful chakra sources."
"Even without today's events, you would have needed to move to the Uchiha compound. Once the enemy is defeated, you can return. This isn't up for debate."
Kushina could tell Yoichi wasn't joking, and despite her rebellious streak, she had developed a habit of obeying him over time. With a huff, she relented. "Fine, I'll move, but only for Naruto. Don't think I'm forgiving you!"
"Whatever you say. I'll have Mina and Mikoto come by later to help you pack. But I'm telling you the truth, Kushina."
"Who would believe that? Mmph—!"
Her protest was cut off again as Yoichi kissed her. Though she struggled at first, she quickly found herself being swept up in the moment. Her body was so accustomed to his touch that it responded automatically, even if her mind protested.
Within moments, Yoichi's hands had expertly found all her sensitive spots, and soon enough, Kushina's face flushed with a deep red, her breathing becoming ragged.
A while later…
Yoichi felt Kushina's arms instinctively wrap around his waist, her body responding eagerly despite her earlier resistance. Satisfied, he pulled back.
"That's enough for today. Your body isn't in a condition to handle anything more. Be sure to tell Naruto that some people will help you move tonight," he said.
Kushina, still dazed from the encounter, blinked in confusion for a few seconds before her anger flared up again. "I know! I don't need you to remind me!"
"Good. I'll leave now. Start packing your things," Yoichi said before teleporting out of her room.
"Packing my things… Wait, no! He tricked me again!" Kushina yelled, realizing too late that she had let him distract her.
She had intended to confront him about tampering with her medication, which had led to her pregnancy. But now, after everything that had just happened, she found her anger toward Yoichi had softened. What remained was a deep sense of guilt toward Minato and a fear of others finding out.
"What am I supposed to do, Minato?" she whispered, glancing toward the bedside table where their wedding photo had once stood. But the photo wasn't there anymore. She had put it away, tired of Yoichi making crude jokes about it during their time together.
Thinking back, she realized she had almost forgotten where she had hidden it. It must have been in one of the boxes under the bed.
"No… There has to be a way," Kushina muttered to herself, biting her finger as she tried to think of a solution—some way to make it right for everyone involved.
But before she could dwell on it any longer, a knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts.
"Kushina, we're here to help!" Mikoto's voice called out.
"I-I'm coming!" Kushina replied hastily.
She was about to head downstairs when she noticed the discarded pregnancy test on the floor. Panicked, she ran to the bathroom to throw it away, wrapping it up in layers of garbage bags before rushing to open the door.
"What took you so long?" Mina scolded playfully, standing with her hands on her hips. "Were you cleaning the house?"
Kushina nodded quickly. "Y-Yeah, I was just tidying up upstairs…"
"Well, you know the drill. We're here to help you pack up. With the enemy targeting you again, it's best to move to the Uchiha compound for now. We'll set up a sensory barrier too," Mina said with a sigh, placing a comforting hand on Kushina's shoulder. "It's tough, isn't it? Always being a target because of the Nine-Tails."
Kushina shook her head. She was used to it by now. After all, she'd been kidnapped once as a child. Letting her friends into the house, she added, "Come on in. I just need to pack a few essentials."
...
"This era seems to have quite a few powerful individuals. That chakra over there… it's familiar."
Urashiki used Yomotsu Hirasaka to exit his pocket dimension. He had originally planned to head straight for Konoha, but he had sensed an even stronger chakra source along the way—one that stirred memories within him.
"This chakra… It's from the God Tree? But how…? How could the God Tree exist in this timeline?"
Urashiki couldn't believe his senses were wrong. He had consumed a God Tree fruit once, but it had been from a weak world, barely comparable to the moon of this planet. Even after devouring all life on that planet, the fruit had only marginally increased his power.
"I need to see this for myself. Could it be Kaguya's God Tree?"
Urashiki made a decision and changed his course, using Yomotsu Hirasaka to head toward the source of the God Tree's chakra.
In a hidden cave on the coast of the Land of Fields…
Uchiha Madara formed hand seals, controlling the Gedo Statue to absorb the chakra of the Two-Tails.
With the absorption complete, five of the Gedo Statue's eyes had now opened.
"Only three more to go, Madara-sama. The White Zetsu clones are doing their best to locate the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
Before Madara could respond, a voice echoed through the underground space.
"I can't believe it… There really is a God Tree here!"
Madara's Rinnegan immediately locked onto a specific point in space, his face calm as he spoke. "Come out, you coward."
"Haha, are all the natives of this planet so arrogant? No, wait… You also possess Ōtsutsuki blood. But that just makes you another native."
Urashiki stepped out of Yomotsu Hirasaka, grinning as he addressed Madara.
"I am Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, of the same clan as Kaguya. I sensed the chakra of the God Tree and came to investigate. I must say, this is quite the surprise, native."

"Ōtsutsuki."
Madara heard the name and frowned slightly. He didn't know this family name, but he had heard of Kaguya — the only one he knew of. She was the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, and the origin of all chakra.
There were many details in the words of this person, like information on this planet and the indigenous people of the ninja world.
While Madara analyzed the information in his mind, Black Zetsu had already taken two steps back in fear. Representing Kaguya's will, he knew exactly what the Ōtsutsuki clan was about.
'They're here! How did they come so fast!? Mother has not even been revived yet.'
Black Zetsu was filled with anxiety, worried that Kaguya's chakra would be taken, and fearful of being noticed as Kaguya's will and thus eliminated.
These Ōtsutsuki were enemies of his mother! Right now, his only option was to rely on Madara. He hoped that Madara could drive this person away, or at worst, escape with the Gedo Statue. Once he became the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki and revived his mother, he could deal with this Ōtsutsuki.
"It seems you're not just talking nonsense. Your target is the Gedo Statue behind me, isn't it?"
Madara sensed the strength of the person before him. His eyes changed to the Rinnegan, and he lowered his arms that were crossed over his chest, reaching behind to grab his gunbai.
"Show me what you've got, if you can take the Gedo Statue away."
"The Rinnegan, huh? It seems you're not just any ordinary native. For someone like you to possess an Ōtsutsuki dōjutsu, you might just be worthy of being my follower."
Urashiki spoke with a polite smile, but in Madara's eyes, that smile was full of mockery.
"Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu!"
Facing a powerful enemy, Madara did not hold back. He planted his gunbai in the ground, quickly forming a seal with his hands, and then spat out four intense, blazing dragon flames that attacked Urashiki from four directions.
The speed of the flames was astonishing, instantly surrounding Urashiki from all sides before exploding with a thunderous roar.
Fiery waves spread in all directions, the intense shockwaves causing the underground space to shake violently as debris rained down from above.
Although the underground space Madara had created was quite large, it was not suitable for combat, especially with such intense clashes. Another similar impact would definitely collapse the underground space.
As the sea of fire raged, Madara's pupils suddenly widened. He picked up his gunbai and held it behind him.
Clang!
A red-glowing fishing rod struck the gunbai, making a crisp sound.
Blocking the strike, Madara immediately wanted to counterattack, but Urashiki swiftly kicked him away.
After a quick spin in the air, Madara landed on the ground.
He wasn't injured, but he had been forced into a minor disadvantage. If he hadn't instinctively used the Mangekyō Sharingan, the outcome might have been worse.
"Oh, you managed to avoid that strike. You have a spatial ability too?"
Urashiki spoke with a peculiar tone. His space-time ability was very subtle, detectable only by those with similar powers.
It seems it's a Rinnegan ability, quite a rare one at that.
Urashiki watched Madara carefully. It seemed like there were quite a few capable individuals in this era, just like the one who played with wood.
Their brief clash took place in an instant; other shinobi wouldn't have been able to react to Urashiki's space-time technique.
As for Black Zetsu, it took the opportunity, seeing that Urashiki wasn't paying attention to it, to burrow into the ground and hide as far away as possible, leaving only its head exposed, afraid of being noticed by Urashiki.
"That weapon of yours seems rather dangerous. Are you a member of the same clan as the Sage of Six Paths' mother, Kaguya-hime? It indeed doesn't seem simple."
Madara spoke with a slightly serious expression. This person's presence gave him a sense of not only powerful chakra but also bizarre abilities seen through dōjutsu.
Let me test him a little more!
With that thought, Madara dropped his previously indifferent attitude, beginning to take his enemy more seriously.
Swoosh!
Madara's figure vanished from where he stood, and in the next instant, he reappeared beside Urashiki using the Body Flicker Technique.
"Fast."
Madara slashed down with his gunbai, temporarily using it as a scythe, but it was blocked by Urashiki's glowing red fishing rod. Urashiki then countered by flicking his rod, which turned into a thin red line that attacked Madara.
But Madara, no longer underestimating his opponent, fought with extreme caution, treating Urashiki as if he were fighting Hashirama.
The red line moved incredibly fast, but Madara seemed to understand its power, evading the fishing rod's attacks skillfully. With Susanoo's armor covering his hands, he countered each strike of the rod.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Madara retreated, put away his gunbai, and donned the Susanoo armor on his hands. His polished taijutsu skills showed in this moment of battle. Even as Urashiki split the red line into over ten segments, Madara avoided every hook.
Suddenly, a sneer appeared on Urashiki's lips, and the fishing hook accelerated.
It abruptly stopped and turned in mid-air, startling Madara. But he remained composed. As the hook approached his abdomen, he opened his eyes wide.
"Shinra Tensei!"
An intense repulsive force erupted from Madara, centered on him and expanding rapidly outward.
The fishing hook lost its momentum under this powerful force and was kicked away by Madara. Knowing the danger of touching the hook, he only let Susanoo handle it.
Rumble!
The fearsome repulsive force shook the entire underground space, causing it to collapse. Gigantic rocks fell from above, burying the Gedo Statue, Madara, and Urashiki.
But in the next moment, Urashiki used Yomotsu Hirasaka to appear in the outside world, then looked down at the collapsing pit.
Boom!
Two massive blue arms pushed away the debris, and soon, a colossal Susanoo rose from the pit.
"Susanoo... Just like that annoying guy, the same power. Heh, it seems you're not an easy person to deal with."
Urashiki finished speaking and flew upward, avoiding the fierce slash of Susanoo's sword.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Unable to hit Urashiki, Madara's slash cut a hundred-meter-deep trench in the ground, extending to the seashore thousands of meters away, raising a terrifying tidal wave.
'Is Susanoo useless against such a flexible opponent? In that case, I'll have to try Limbo!'
Madara thought to himself and then deactivated Susanoo. Against an enemy capable of flying nimbly in the air with space-time abilities, Susanoo wasn't very effective.
After deactivating Susanoo, Madara landed on the ground.
Urashiki approached with a smile. "Why are you not using such a powerful ability anymore? Perhaps I might be scared of it."
Limbo!
Ignoring Urashiki's taunting, Madara slightly opened his Rinnegan and activated the ability.
A Limbo clone suddenly appeared between the two and attacked Urashiki with a heavy kick.
"Hmm?"
Urashiki was slightly surprised, raising his red fishing rod to block. He said in some astonishment, "Is this another of your abilities? An invisible clone. If not for these eyes, I wouldn't have been able to see it."
Currently, Urashiki was using his blue Rinnegan, as he didn't need the Byakugan to track his opponent. The Rinnegan was far more useful in combat.
'He can see Limbo!?'
Madara was startled. He quickly formed hand seals, summoning three more Limbo clones. With the fan in hand, he rushed towards Urashiki.
Boom! Bang!
Five Madaras coordinated their attacks perfectly. Limbo clones had the same strength as the original, instantly putting Urashiki under pressure.
The four Limbo clones constantly created opportunities, with every punch and kick disregarding their safety — not that it mattered, since Limbo clones return to the original after time runs out without taking damage.
"Damn."
Urashiki found himself overwhelmed by the four Limbo clones. His Rinnegan constantly darted back and forth, trying to track Madara's movements, but he could only dodge continuously. Once he tried to block, he would face an unending barrage of attacks.
Paper Crane Flicker!
Urashiki suddenly turned into several red paper cranes, using his space-time ability to escape from the encirclement of three Limbo clones.
But in the next instant, Madara caught sight of where Urashiki reappeared.
"Banshō Ten'in!"
Just as Urashiki emerged, a powerful gravitational force enveloped him.
Madara didn't hold back at all. He exerted the full power of the Rinnegan, making the gravitational pull even stronger than that of Chibaku Tensei.
"Curse you!"
For a moment, Urashiki couldn't control himself and was pulled toward Madara. But just as he was about to break free...
Two Limbo clones seized the opportunity, each grabbing one of Urashiki's arms and the red fishing rod. Madara then kicked him forcefully.
Bang!
With a powerful blow, Madara did not hold back against a powerful and unknown enemy. He used his full strength, sending Urashiki flying.
Urashiki crashed into a giant rock, shattering it with the force of the impact.
"It seems I was right. Your weapon can't deal with the Limbo clones; it only works on the real body."
Madara said with a sneer. Limbo clones couldn't usually be touched; they could only be affected when attacking or defending.
Just now, he used Limbo to block Urashiki's weapon, and nothing happened. That made things much easier; as long as his real body didn't touch it, he would be fine.
"Your tone was so arrogant before, but this is all you've got."
Madara said with apparent arrogance, but he was thinking of strategies. The Limbo clones needed another minute before they could be summoned again. Until then, he needed to use the Mangekyō Sharingan and ninjutsu to delay Urashiki.
"Katon: Gōka Metsu!"
Madara formed a seal, then exhaled an intense, scorching sea of flames that surged towards Urashiki like a raging inferno.
Boom!
The area where Urashiki was erupted in an explosion. After a dozen boulders flew out, the flames quickly engulfed everything, burning them.
Under such a fearsome fire release jutsu, a nearly thousand-meter radius ahead was engulfed in flames.
He's gone? Another space-time jutsu!
Madara looked left and right with the Rinnegan, but didn't see Urashiki, so he used the Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye.
Yasakani!
This ability allowed him to briefly see events about to happen, giving him a chance to prevent nearly irreversible situations.
In Madara's vision, several red fishing hooks suddenly attacked from above.
Upon seeing this, Madara immediately looked up, spotting Urashiki emerging quietly from the void.
"Die, lowlife! Tenriku Ryūseimei!"
Urashiki hurled his fishing rod, sending dozens of red beams raining down on Madara.
"Uchiha Reflection."
Madara raised his gunbai, blocking all the attacks. With a sweep of the gunbai, he deflected all the beams, except for the red hooks.
But before they could strike him, Urashiki once again turned into red cranes and disappeared.
'What an annoying guy!'
Both Madara and Urashiki felt the same about each other. Urashiki had lost his patience. His space-time ability kept getting detected, and the strange clones blocked his weapon.
Madara also found it bothersome; the space-time jutsu's rapid movements were difficult to catch.
If it weren't for his Yasakani, which allowed him to glimpse future events, he might have been caught off guard twice by this guy.
'I need to gather the chakra of the fox and that wood shinobi, and then seize the chakra fruit.'
Urashiki realized he couldn't win quickly and decided to retreat for now. He would return after gaining more powerful chakra.
"Native, for now, I'll leave the fruit in your hands. But next time I come, not only the chakra fruit but even you will become my food!"
Urashiki pointed his fishing rod at Madara before opening a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal behind him. He floated backward, leaving through the spatial passage.
"Running away so soon!"
Madara snorted coldly. Although he wasn't yet sure of Urashiki's full strength, he was confident he could win if the fight continued.
However, that guy fled ahead of time!
"Lord Madara, are you alright?"
After Urashiki left, Black Zetsu approached Madara and asked. At the same time, he thought anxiously, they must gather the tailed beasts as soon as possible and revive Mother. There could be no further delays!
