"Oh my, this is really surprising. I tried my best to suppress my aura, but you still sensed me."
Fujiwara Kirito, holding his Zanpakuto, slowly stepped out of the dense forest with Pakura by his side.
"Brother Kirito!" Naruto's eyes lit up as he saw Kirito appear. He started to move toward him, but Jiraiya raised his hand to stop him. "Naruto, don't go near him. He's a member of the Akatsuki organization."
Jiraiya's gaze alternated between Urashiki floating in the sky and Kirito with Pakura on the ground. His brows furrowed as a sense of unease grew within him. The simultaneous appearance of Akatsuki and this mysterious man spelled trouble.
"Relax, Jiraiya, Naruto, that guy with kidney deficiency over there, and the pineapple-headed brat. You all know Akatsuki won't make any moves for the next three years."
Kirito's voice was calm, his eyes flickering to Urashiki in the sky. The moment their gazes locked, he whispered in his mind, Shatter it, Kyoka Suigetsu. His Zanpakuto quietly activated its ability.
"Hey, who are you calling pineapple head?" Boruto retorted, his voice rising indignantly.
"Boruto, be quiet. This isn't the time," Sasuke said with a twitch of his mouth. He turned to Kirito, keeping his tone measured. "So, to ensure Akatsuki's plan proceeds smoothly in three years, you're proposing a temporary alliance to deal with the guy in the sky. Is that right?"
Despite recognizing the jab at himself as the "guy with kidney deficiency," Sasuke knew this wasn't the time to provoke Fujiwara Kirito. At least not until Urashiki was dealt with.
"It's not an alliance. I'm just very interested in this pale guy's abilities. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a ninjutsu enthusiast." Kirito's expression turned cold as his gaze shifted to Urashiki. "So, if you don't mind, please don't interfere while I catch my prey."
"You're arrogant, calling me your prey. Do you think a lowly creature like you has the right?" Urashiki's voice echoed, his tone laced with anger.
Since arriving in this world, Urashiki had been searching for Naruto's chakra signature in Konoha. Unable to locate it, he used the Otsutsuki clan's unique bloodline ability, Yomi Hirasaka, and teleported directly to Naruto. To his delight, not only had he found Naruto, but he also sensed an unusually large and pure chakra nearby. However, Kirito's dismissive attitude ignited his fury.
"I'm not calling you prey. You already are my prey," Kirito said with a smirk. He flexed his fingers and activated the Tiangang Jue. An immense surge of senjutsu chakra radiated from him, creating a shockwave that rippled outward, shaking the trees and earth.
Pakura leapt onto a nearby tree trunk, while Jiraiya and Sasuke quickly carried Naruto and Boruto out of the imminent battlefield.
"What incredible chakra! Even the tailed beasts pale in comparison," Jiraiya muttered, wide-eyed.
Boruto gawked. "This is amazing!"
Naruto puffed up his chest. "Of course! Brother Kirito is the strongest. Even Kakashi-sensei couldn't defeat him. There's no way this guy called Urashiki can win!"
Sasuke frowned, his tone steady but grim. "Don't get too confident. A massive amount of chakra means nothing against someone from Urashiki's clan. Kirito has no idea how dangerous Urashiki is. He's walking into a trap."
Naruto's excitement faltered. "Then tell Brother Kirito what Urashiki can do!"
Sasuke shook his head. "It's too late."
Before anyone could say more, Urashiki made his move.
"What a powerful chakra. Lowly creature," Urashiki sneered, his voice laced with malice. He licked his lips and grinned menacingly. "I'll take it for myself."
He lunged at Kirito, his red fishing rod swinging with blinding speed.
A deafening clang echoed as Urashiki's fishing rod clashed against Kirito's Zanpakuto. The sheer force of the collision cracked the ground in a spiderweb pattern.
"Impressive strength and speed. But your attacks are painfully simple," Kirito said, his tone calm and mocking. "You're nothing but a brute."
Urashiki's smirk twisted into a scowl. The red fishhook bypassed Kirito's blade and pierced his back without resistance.
"Haha! Got you, lowly creature! All your chakra is mine now!" Urashiki laughed triumphantly.
"Brother Kirito!" Naruto shouted, his voice filled with panic.
Sasuke and Boruto exchanged resigned looks. Both had doubted Kirito could defeat an Otsutsuki from the start. They closed their eyes in disappointment.
"It's too early to draw conclusions," Jiraiya said, his tone firm.
As if on cue, Kirito's body exploded into smoke, revealing a wooden stake in his place. It was a classic substitution technique.
Before Urashiki could react, a blade sliced toward him from behind. Startled, he activated his Rinnegan to predict the attack.
Kirito, however, anticipated Urashiki's movements with his observation Haki. Despite Urashiki's attempts to evade, the blade grazed his shoulder, drawing blood.
"You call yourself a warrior? You fell for a simple substitution technique," Kirito mocked, his tone dripping with disdain. "Your opponents must be idiots if you've survived this long."
His words landed a double blow—one on Urashiki and the other on Sasuke and Boruto. Both frowned in embarrassment, their expressions darkening.
"Well... it seems we've been insulted too," Boruto muttered, avoiding Sasuke's gaze.
Sasuke clenched his fists, choosing to ignore the comment as he refocused on the battle.
"You'll regret this!" Urashiki roared, clutching his injured shoulder. Enraged, he retrieved a vial of chakra he had stolen from Sasuke and unleashed a fire jutsu, engulfing the battlefield in flames.
