Chapter 564: Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's Abilities
Shizune's timing was extremely precise. The poison senbon locked onto the enemy's escape routes in all directions.
Urashiki's Byakugan instantly switched to a blue Rinnegan. He looked to his empty left side, let out a sinister cold laugh, raised his left hand, and activated the Rinnegan's ability.
"Almighty Push!"
The immense repulsive force sent Shizune's poison senbon, along with the jonin Minato who had teleported over for a surprise attack using the Flying Thunder God technique, flying.
Urashiki had already cast his fishing rod, and the hook, emitting a mysterious red light, pierced the jonin Minato's chest.
The number one ninjutsu in the ninja world, the Shadow Clone Technique, once again proved its worth. His hook had only pierced a shadow clone.
Before the white smoke had completely dissipated, Urashiki turned around.
"Rasengan!" The jonin Minato, who had jumped behind him earlier, had a blue, compressed chakra sphere in his palm.
Urashiki's reaction was extremely fast. He switched the fishing rod to his left hand and reached out with his right, grabbing the jonin Minato's wrist.
The jonin Minato couldn't fly and had no leverage in mid-air. His left hand reached into his waist pouch, and in the next second, two shuriken flew in an arc, aiming for Urashiki's eyes.
Urashiki advanced instead of retreating. He just slightly adjusted the angle of the fishing rod in his left hand and knocked the two shuriken away.
His Rinnegan once again emitted a faint fluorescent light. He grabbed the jonin Minato's wrist, ignored the Rasengan in his hand, and threw him towards the ground like a large sandbag.
At this time, the Hokage Minato had just finished his hand seals and thrown several kunai with his markings on them.
The kunai multiplied in mid-air, one becoming two, two becoming four, quickly forming a dense cloud of kunai.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!" A rain of ninja tools flew over. A second before they were about to hit the jonin Minato, he managed to escape at the last moment, teleporting back to the ground.
A kunai with a Flying Thunder God marker allowed the Hokage Minato to teleport to Urashiki's left side. The Hokage, wearing his ceremonial robe, twisted his waist and flew up with a kick, aiming for Urashiki's face.
The jonin Minato, who had landed on the ground, also teleported in front of the enemy again, a kunai in his hand, stabbing at Urashiki's throat.
"Get lost, you chakra-thieving rats!" Urashiki unleashed an Almighty Push centered on himself, but unfortunately, it only hit two shadow clones.
In the next instant, the Hokage Minato appeared behind him. He hurriedly turned around, only to see the jonin Minato, who had switched places with him.
They took advantage of the cooldown time of the Almighty Push and executed a beautiful Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique, but their attack intent was detected again.
Before the Rasengans from the front and back could hit Urashiki, he turned into several red paper cranes and disappeared, reappearing behind the Hokage Minato.
The Hokage Minato used the Flying Thunder God again at the last second to return to the ground. In the next second, the jonin Minato also gave up the idea of aerial combat.
The two of them stood side by side, analyzing the enemy's intelligence in low voices.
The jonin Minato shared his speculation. "This guy's wrist strength is much stronger than ours, and his taijutsu is also extremely refined... Our tactics were actually very reasonable, but he easily countered them. It should be the ability of his eyes. I calculated that he can see attacks that will happen three seconds later and then evade and respond in advance. This move is very tricky."
"His eyes are the legendary eyes of the Sage, called the Rinnegan in ancient history. That repulsive force is a Rinnegan ability. There should also be an attractive force that he hasn't used." The Hokage Minato knew the whole process of Nagato's attack on Konoha and had a lot of information about the Rinnegan.
He shared his analysis. "As for the time rewind... this move is very strange. It's the first time I've seen it. It seems to be his personal ability."
"You've fought an enemy like this before?"
"Yes, twenty years from now, we fought such a powerful enemy. The village suffered heavy losses."
The jonin Minato was a little surprised. In his time, the Third Hokage and Orochimaru were considered top-level masters in the ninja world. But compared to Urashiki floating in mid-air, there was undoubtedly a considerable gap.
He couldn't help but complain, "It seems the future is really bleak."
As if guessing what the Hokage Minato would say next, he said first, "Don't worry. After the mission is over, I will seal the memories of myself and my subordinates regarding this mission."
The Hokage Minato smiled. "Let's stick to the intelligence. The guy we fought could create black rods made of Yin-Yang Release. Those things have a very strong chakra-suppressing effect."
The jonin Minato also shared his analysis. "This guy isn't using the black rods you mentioned because that fishing rod itself has the ability to absorb chakra."
In just a few words, through the previous battle, they had analyzed Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's abilities quite thoroughly. They exchanged a glance and had the same idea: change the battlefield!
The Hokage Minato gave a hand signal to his subordinates.
Shizune let out a soft cry, created two shadow clones, and imitated Ino. One spat water, one created wind, while her main body sprayed poison.
"Combination Ninjutsu: Poison Pufferfish!"
Dozens of poisonous water balls shot towards Urashiki in the sky.
The Rinnegan once again created a repulsive force, knocking away the poison water balls without any frills.
Hayate, who had been hiding in the shadows, seized the cooldown time after the enemy used Almighty Push and lunged forward with his sword.
"I remember you, the small fry with a pile of junk in his body." Urashiki couldn't use Almighty Push now, but his face showed no sign of panic. Instead, he smiled arrogantly. He leaned back, then swung his arm forcefully. The red-glowing fishing rod shot out more than ten chakra hooks during the swing.
"Ameno Subaruboshinomikoto!"
Hayate was in mid-air, with no room to dodge.
The Hokage Minato instantly appeared beside him, grabbed his sleeve, and with a thought, brought him back to the ground.
His speed had reached the limit for a ninja, but a fishhook still pierced Hayate's lower abdomen.
"Sorry, Lord Hokage."
"It's alright. You did your best."
Hayate withdrew from the battle. Urashiki had no intention of chasing him to finish him off.
He enjoyed the sense of superiority of being high above. Even though fighting on the ground would better utilize his strength, he wanted to be the "target" in the sky.
The only ones he took seriously were the two Minato Namikazes. The rest, Shizune, Choza, and Shibi, were just average.
They couldn't retreat immediately. Led by the two Minatos, they fought for more than a dozen more rounds.
After Hayate, Choza also withdrew from the battle.
Urashiki looked thin and small, but his strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person. To save Shizune, Choza had taken a full-power kick from him. His massive body flew more than ten meters and smashed into a wall, unable to get up for a long time.
