Naruto watched as Adult Sasuke and Isshiki disappeared into the horizon, then turned to Sasuke, looking a bit lost. "Sasuke, what's the plan now?"
"Quick attack," Sasuke said calmly.
Quick attack was different from an all-out assault. A full-power attack was about using maximum strength without holding back, but a quick attack meant sacrificing some power in exchange for a relentless, nonstop offensive.
Simply put—it didn't give the enemy any time to breathe.
Naruto looked up at Urashiki floating in the sky and nodded slightly. "I see. Got it."
Then, he soared into the air, hovering beside Kurama. "Kurama, quick attack. Don't let him catch his breath."
Kurama thought for a moment before understanding the strategy, but he still frowned. "People still use that kind of strategy in this version? Do you even know how to play?"
"Sasuke said it, not me. Blame him." Naruto responded without hesitation.
Kurama was speechless for a moment. "You two really are good brothers."
"Of course." Naruto grinned with confidence. "If nothing else, when it comes to shifting blame, Sasuke and I are pros."
Kurama was silent for a moment, then nodded as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "As expected of my students. You two are ready to graduate."
"That's all thanks to your great teaching," Naruto replied happily.
For a moment, the two of them exchanged a knowing smile.
Sasuke jumped onto the golden Kurama's head, looking completely done with them. "You two are unbelievable. Can you be serious for once? Besides, this strategy wasn't even my idea—it was Uncle Minato's. If you want to blame someone, blame him."
The three of them stared at each other in midair before sharing a silent understanding.
Decision made—it was all Minato's fault.
Urashiki frowned as he watched their banter. "You three… are stalling for time, aren't you?"
Kurama glanced at Naruto and Sasuke, then turned back to Urashiki with a grin. "Bingo. And as a reward, here's a Tailed Beast Bomb just for you!"
A glowing sphere the size of Kurama's palm formed in his mouth before he fired it straight at Urashiki without hesitation.
At the same time, the Naruto and Sasuke beside him vanished into smoke.
From behind Urashiki, another Naruto and Sasuke leapt out, Rasengan and Chidori in hand, lunging toward him.
This time, Naruto didn't transform into the giant golden Kurama—he just charged forward with Rasengan.
Urashiki smirked. "You think an attack like this will work on me?"
Red origami cranes fluttered around him as his body disappeared, dodging their attack.
But the moment he reappeared, Kurama came crashing down from above, wielding an enormous Rasengan, looking like he was ready to go down with him.
Urashiki frowned again, raising his fishing rod to block the massive spiraling sphere.
Just as he stopped the attack, Naruto suddenly sprang out from behind Kurama, holding another Tailed Beast Bomb and shouting "Uraaa!" as he slammed it down.
At the same time, Sasuke, standing at a distance, activated the third stage of Susano'o. A black arrow shot toward Urashiki at breakneck speed.
"Tch." Urashiki clicked his tongue in frustration as he twisted midair, barely avoiding all three attacks.
But before he could catch his breath, Naruto had already vanished into smoke again.
Three more Narutos burst out from below, wielding a Rasengan, a Tailed Beast Bomb, and a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, rushing straight at him. Meanwhile, Sasuke had already drawn another arrow, showing no concern for friendly fire.
Each individual attack wasn't as powerful as the previous Tailed Beast Bomb or the giant Rasenshuriken, but every single one of them was a problem if it landed.
Worse, these three weren't giving him any breathing room. They were relentless, attacking non-stop as if they were dead set on making his life miserable.
This was a blitz strategy.
They weren't aiming to kill—just to wear him down until he lost his mind.
Forced to deal with the constant pressure, Urashiki had no choice but to keep rewinding time, predicting their moves, and dodging. The blue glow of his Rinnegan never faded for a second.
The worst part? They weren't even talking anymore.
Before, at least they would yell out their attacks. Now, they just rushed at him in complete silence.
And that damn blond idiot was the most annoying of them all. His shadow clones just kept coming, one after another.
Urashiki hadn't even seen him make a hand sign.
So that meant… while they were stalling earlier, he had already set this up?
Just how many shadow clones did he make?
Did he not care about his chakra at all?
Urashiki, whose chakra had been sealed, looked extremely envious... No, more like full of resentment.
Counterattack? The moment you stop to attack even one person, the other two will immediately unleash high-powered Ninjutsu without hesitation, as if they don't care about their teammate. But strangely, despite this, none of their attacks actually hit each other.
Up in the sky, chakra lights kept flashing, and although the chakra wasn't overwhelmingly strong, it was definitely not weak. The energy surged throughout the sky.
Urashiki dodged another attack, his face dark with anger. At this rate, he wouldn't even get a chance to use Yellow Izanagi Hirasaka. Opening a space portal took time—even if it was brief, it was still too long when facing three opponents who refused to give him a single opening.
Watching the three of them recklessly burn through chakra without showing any signs of exhaustion, Urashiki was growing impatient.
As his space to evade attacks got smaller and smaller, his expression turned cold.
He twisted his body to dodge another strike from Naruto. But just as a black arrow was about to reach him, Urashiki's blue Rinnegan suddenly shifted into a deep red. The moment the crimson Rinnegan appeared, a black space portal opened behind him.
Normally, in such relentless attacks, even using Yomotsu Hirasaka was difficult. The three of them simply weren't giving him the chance to use time-space Ninjutsu.
But the red Rinnegan gave Urashiki the ability to activate Yellow Izanagi Hirasaka much faster. With this power, the space portal opened almost instantly. By the time the black arrow reached him, his body had already slipped inside.
The black flames of Amaterasu burned along the edges of the portal. But as the dark passage disappeared, so did the flames in the sky.
For a brief moment, all three of them stopped attacking, scanning the area with serious expressions. They were waiting—for Urashiki to reappear.
In the instant his chakra vanished, it suddenly flared up again—right behind Sasuke.
The red fishing rod sliced through the air, and before Sasuke could even react, it was already swinging down at him.
The fishing rod's unique properties ignored Susano'o's defense, and the full force of the attack landed directly on Sasuke.
A mouthful of blood burst from Sasuke's lips, but he didn't get knocked away. As Susano'o dissipated, his purple Mangekyou spun slowly in his eyes.
Urashiki held his fishing rod, his crimson Rinnegan reflecting Sasuke's image. His face twisted in irritation.
"You annoying little insect."
