Chapter 124: Boruto's Highlight Moment
Adult Sasuke and Jiraiya's group finally arrived.
Seeing "young-wife" Naruto tied to a pillar by the Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and about to be tortured, Adult Sasuke directly used what little chakra he had left to activate Amenotejikara once, swapping places with Naruto.
Naruto was saved, and Sasuke was bound in his place.
"Oh? Space–time ninjutsu? Finally, something worth watching."
Seeing this, Tobirama offered his commentary.
"..."
Shiromo could only be glad that no one here except him knew exactly how Amenotejikara worked. Otherwise, everyone would have started roasting again.
Back in the Fourth Great Ninja War's final battle, Sasuke used Amenotejikara to pull Madara in front of him, then later to pull Kaguya in front of him, and no one ever saw him needing to swap with his own body. And now…
You couldn't exactly say that Sasuke had developed some kind of preference, like enjoying being tied up, right?
"No, wait. Doesn't he have space–time ninjutsu? Why didn't he keep using it to escape? From what it looks like, his ability lets him swap positions with objects. He could've just swapped with any random pebble. If that didn't work, even swapping with Naruto's forehead protector would've been fine!"
Seeing Adult Sasuke remain motionless after using Amenotejikara, Tobirama immediately grew anxious.
It was like watching a kid holding a top-tier character but having no idea how to play it.
"Sasuke's chakra was hooked away. Right now he's as drained as Izuna was after you hit him with Flying Thunder God."
"Oh. Then it's fine."
Hearing Shiromo's explanation, Tobirama relaxed again.
"Then isn't Sasuke in danger?"
Itachi frowned.
"He really is in danger."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression also became tense.
The strongest combatant among them, Adult Sasuke, had been captured. Wouldn't the enemy seize the chance to strike hard and eliminate the biggest threat?
Just like a few days ago, when Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki awakened and tried to use a kunai to stab out Sasuke's Rinnegan.
So then, what did our Urashiki-san do?
Alright. Urashiki revealed an evil grin.
Urashiki reeled in the fishing line and released Sasuke from his bindings.
Oh? Was Urashiki about to launch a lethal strike with the fishing rod?
No! Urashiki kicked Sasuke straight in the crotch!
Could this be the legendary Six Paths: Ball-Busting Kick?
Sasuke collapsed in pain.
"Master!!!"
Boruto had remained unmoved when Naruto was tied up, but the moment he saw his beloved master get kicked, he panicked.
His brain spun at high speed, his battle IQ once again on full display.
"Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, take this!"
Boruto created two shadow clones and charged at Urashiki.
"This kid's chakra is way worse than Naruto's. He can only make two shadow clones?"
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt helpless. "With just two shadow clones, how could he possibly save Sasuke?"
"Not necessarily. If this kid also knows space–time ninjutsu, he could pull it off."
Tobirama shook his head.
Seeing Boruto rush over, Urashiki once again revealed a wicked grin and raised his hand to grab Boruto.
"Take this! Six Paths: Lewd Seduction Technique!"
Boruto formed hand seals with both hands.
With a 'bang'.
Two figures appeared in front of Urashiki.
One was Momoshiki dressed as a bride in a white wedding gown. The other was Kinshiki wearing a barely-contained black lace bra.
"Mm~"
The two struck seductive poses and pounced toward Urashiki.
'Squish.'
Urashiki froze in shock, but his hand reaching for Boruto didn't stop, so he ended up grabbing Kinshiki squarely on the chest muscles.
"Ahhh!!!"
Urashiki let out a shriek and swung his fishing rod, dispersing Bride Momoshiki and Fetish Kinshiki.
At this moment, the real Boruto had already rescued Sasuke.
"You filthy brat! You dare use such low-level ninjutsu to defile the honor of the Ōtsutsuki clan!"
Urashiki glared viciously at Boruto, who had saved Sasuke.
It was over.
His mind was now completely filled with the images of Momoshiki and Kinshiki.
Momoshiki was bad enough, but Kinshiki's massive, bloated body, paired with that outfit… who could possibly handle that?
Over on Shiromo's side, the audience watching also fell into silence.
"Born evil, Senju old man."
Uchiha Hikari finally clenched her fists, her face flushed red, and squeezed out those words.
"Born evil, Uchiha brat, what does this have to do with me?!"
Tobirama bristled. How did this somehow get pinned on him?
"This Boruto is Uzumaki Naruto's child. Shiromo just said that Uzumaki Naruto also knows the Lewd Seduction Technique, right? That means Boruto was influenced by Uzumaki Naruto."
"Uzumaki Naruto is Jiraiya's disciple. Jiraiya is Sarutobi's disciple."
"Those two are both lecherous old men, which means the inheritance has been passed down uninterrupted."
"So then, who was Sarutobi's sensei?"
"Who is the true beginning and source? Hmm?"
Uchiha Hikari analyzed step by step, then lifted her chin and looked at the now-speechless Tobirama.
"Sarutobi, you unfilial disciple!"
Tobirama felt utterly wronged.
He had never imagined that one day his reputation would be ruined simply because he was Sarutobi Hiruzen's sensei!
"Tobirama, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Hikari was right to scold you."
Hashirama spoke with a stern, reproachful expression.
"Huh?"
Tobirama stared at his older brother in shock.
No, big brother, isn't that cutting ties a bit too fast?
Also, wasn't Sarutobi taught by both of us?
"Tobirama, this technique must be another forbidden jutsu you developed, right? Sigh, I told you long ago, don't just casually invent ninjutsu for no reason."
Hashirama let out a sigh.
"Go eat shit, big brother! Don't lump this low-grade garbage in with the Flying Thunder God or Impure World Reincarnation that I developed! And even if you try to suck up to that Uchiha brat, she still won't pay attention to you!"
Tobirama wore a constipated expression, like he'd just eaten something truly unspeakable.
Him, developing this technique? Would he ever invent something as stupid as the Lewd Seduction Technique?
Just because he invented a lot of jutsu didn't mean every jutsu in existence could be blamed on him, right?
After all the arguing, however, no one actually missed anything.
For some reason, a fight that should have been lightning-fast and high-level, in Urashiki's hands, became oddly slow and leisurely.
After Boruto's group rescued Naruto and Sasuke, they began to retreat.
Once they withdrew to the outside, they were intercepted by Urashiki, who floated in midair.
Seeing this, Shiromo let out a small sigh of relief.
At least this time, Urashiki's brain seemed to be working somewhat normally.
In the original story, after Naruto was rescued, Urashiki inexplicably disappeared for several days, allowing Naruto and Boruto to train the combined Rasengan and deepen their bond.
Anyone who didn't know better would've thought Urashiki had gone to the red-light district and disappeared without contact.
Or that, like them, he was hiding somewhere watching the live broadcast.
"Rasengan!"
Facing Urashiki's pressure, Jiraiya finally made his move, thrusting a Rasengan toward Urashiki.
So how would Urashiki respond?
'Slash!'
Oh?!
Urashiki revealed a Rinnegan and instantly teleported behind Jiraiya, piercing his body with the fishing rod!
Was high-level combat finally about to begin?!
"Hmm, wait, what?"
Watching the image through the Telescope Technique, Tobirama felt that something was off.
Setting abilities aside for the moment, why did this Urashiki look like he was deliberately avoiding Jiraiya's vital points?
You're piercing someone's body and you don't go for the heart? What's with stabbing the shoulder instead?
Shiromo was also at a loss.
This move of Urashiki's was similar to his own "King Crimson Heart-Piercing Fist", except Urashiki looped around and stabbed the guy in the shoulder instead.
