Chapter 158: Chapter 51: Is That a Rinnegan?
Outside the base.
Kamihane watched with a blank expression as Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's body slowly ascended. He was no stranger to this act of gouging out and consuming one's own eyes.
In the original timeline, this was how Urashiki had activated his "Crane Ascendant Form." After transforming, Urashiki could no longer use any of his previous abilities, including the troublesome Space-Time Divine Art, but his taijutsu and strength became immensely powerful.
Kamihane's pupils were deep, his aura undiminished. The green steam continued to burn around his body, like a fiercely billowing battle flag.
He had been able to pummel Urashiki into a pulp with just the "Sixth Gate of View." He was quite curious to see just how much stronger the transformed Urashiki could become.
Madara's gaze was equally placid, but he suddenly froze. He sensed a familiar aura from Urashiki's body.
"To make me pay such a price…" Urashiki's spectral voice echoed from mid-air.
"Uchiha Kamihane, your sins are unforgivable!"
He abruptly spread his arms. His already tall, slender body swelled further, his hands morphing into a pair of enormous wings, white and dense, like a celestial crane descending from the heavens. His feet also transformed into black talons. Black horizontal stripes covered his cheeks, and wing-like horns sprouted from his head.
Three golden glimmers shone brilliantly on his face. The eyes he had gouged out had regenerated into golden Byakugan, and on his forehead, a Golden Rinnegan quietly opened! Its golden pupil glinted with rage, hatred, and the coldness of divine punishment.
"Is that… a Rinnegan?"
For the first time in over a decade, a ripple appeared on Madara's face, which had been as still as an ancient well.
"Just who is he!"
Staring at Urashiki's brilliant Golden Rinnegan, Madara's eyes widened. Though his expression barely changed, his slightly trembling pupils betrayed his inner shock.
Before Kamihane could answer, Urashiki introduced himself, his tone filled with ferocity:
"I am Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, a being from beyond the heavens, a feeder of the Divine Tree, a god who rules over lower lifeforms like you!"
He spread his wings, kicking up a whirlwind that sent sand and stones flying. Kamihane and Madara stood firm, their black hair whipping wildly in the wind.
"The Divine Tree?" Madara's brow furrowed. "A god?"
"Hmph. You are nothing but a pack of monkeys, the bastard spawn Kaguya left behind! It's all her fault, the useless wench, for leaving behind filth like you to pollute the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki!"
"You talk of nothing but the Ōtsutsuki. I really don't see what's so noble about you," Kamihane snorted.
"Silence! To us, this planet of yours is nothing more than nourishment for the Divine Tree! Even the Chakra you take such pride in comes from the fruit of our Divine Tree!"
"You just said 'us'?" Madara immediately seized on the key point. "You have other clansmen?"
"I have no interest in explaining things to the dead!" Urashiki roared in fury. "Uchiha Kamihane! I will destroy everything you hold dear, slaughter everyone you care about, and he… will be the first!"
The last word was drawn out as Urashiki blurred, instantly appearing before Madara. Black iron rods emerged from his talons, as if to nail Madara to the ground.
But Madara didn't move.
A flicker of an afterimage—before Urashiki could even touch the hem of Madara's clothes, Kamihane slammed a vicious knee into his chest. The iron rods were shattered by Kamihane's slap, and a whirlwind swept away the dust as Urashiki was blasted back into the sky at an even greater speed.
"You still dare call yourself a god in front of me?"
The ground suddenly exploded. Kamihane shot into the sky like a stream of green light, creating concentric shockwaves in the upper atmosphere as he instantly caught up to the recoiling Urashiki.
His fist pierced the air, crashing toward Urashiki's face with the force of a tidal wave.
Urashiki's pupils shrank, his eyes instantly filling with violence. Immense power channeled through his legs, and his talons, glowing with a deep purple light, lashed out in a kick.
Fist met claw. Amidst a deafening crash, a massive shockwave kicked up a gale, tearing the clouds to shreds.
Kamihane slid backward a few dozen meters, but Urashiki seemed to have lost his balance, tumbling several hundred meters before stabilizing himself.
"To block a normal punch from me, it seems you've grown quite strong. In that case, try this!"
Kamihane vanished instantly. A massive air cannon shot forth, engulfing Urashiki from below like a volcanic eruption, its speed making it impossible to dodge.
"You—" Urashiki's face twisted, but before he could curse, a second air cannon descended, pinning him in mid-air, immobilizing him!
The force was like a clap of thunder. The overwhelming power of the fist flattened the air in a hundred-meter radius. Even in his "Crane Ascendant Form," Urashiki couldn't keep up with Kamihane's speed, like a lone boat in a storm, tossed about on the churning waves.
Kamihane moved like a phantom, treading on the void, darting and weaving around Urashiki. In just a second, countless afterimages flickered in and out of existence, the distorted airflow creating visible ripples. Air cannons hammered him relentlessly from every angle.
Urashiki was like a caged bird. The white horns on his head cracked and shattered. Beneath his skin, his very bones and sinews hummed, torn at by the surging power of the fists, on the verge of being ripped apart!
"Aaaargh!"
He let out a furious roar. The Golden Rinnegan on his forehead blazed with light, burning like an incandescent golden flame!
An invisible wave pulsed from Urashiki's body. With him at the center, a repulsive force expanded outward!
Within the crisscrossing, transparent air currents of the "Evening Elephant: Divine Speed Strike," the airflow around Urashiki spun rapidly. A vacuum shield formed around him, expanding outward!
But after expanding only three feet from his body, the shield's boundary stopped advancing and began to waver.
"You're finished, Urashiki!"
Kamihane descended from the sky like a falling star, stomping viciously onto Urashiki's back. The savage force shot through his body!
The sound of cracking bone was as dull as thunder. His organs ruptured and shifted, and hot blood surged up his throat as Urashiki coughed uncontrollably!
Kamihane raised his hands, seizing the opportunity to grab his pair of wings.
An immense force erupted. With a sickening crack, he ripped Urashiki's wings from his back. Accompanied by a piercing scream, the two blood-soaked wings fluttered down, white feathers scattering in the air.
Kamihane's expression was cold, his entire body enveloped in a brilliant green flame, as radiant as a divine aura. He looked like an armored god of war, his presence overwhelming.
He raised a hand, the magma-like flames in his pupils burning fiercely. A massive amount of black energy condensed in his palm. The heavy sound of wind was torn apart by a clear dragon's roar as a long, slender divine spear appeared in his hand.
"Totsuka Blade: Golden Convergence!"
Kamihane thrust the spear forward. The sharp tip burst through Urashiki's chest, piercing his heart from behind. The two plummeted together. The earth boomed and trembled, and a curtain of dust shot into the sky, leaving a bottomless crater where they landed.
Madara immediately flew to the edge of the pit. The wind howled as a beam of green light instantly broke through the dust, and Kamihane leaped to his side.
Urashiki was pinned to the bottom of the pit by the "Totsuka Blade." A clear golden light flowed along the patterns on the spear's shaft as an 80x Gravity Suppression pressed him firmly into the ground.
A continuous series of soft popping sounds came from his body—the sound of his bones constantly shattering and regenerating. The Geng Metal energy from the spear was corroding his flesh and blood!
Although his body was no longer an ordinary Kekkei Mōra, he still could not escape this series of suppressive attacks from Kamihane.
