Chapter 191 – Ōtsutsuki Urashiki
"I'm still your senior, aren't I?"
Hatake Yusuke vanished from Sasuke's sight the moment he spoke.
When he reappeared, he was already standing directly in front of him, gently ruffling Sasuke's hair. With a height well over 190 cm, even someone as tall as Sasuke, who stood around 180 cm, seemed rather unremarkable in comparison.
"So fast…? Is that Space-Time Ninjutsu? But it's not the Flying Thunder God Technique," Sasuke muttered to himself, already assuming a defensive stance.
"Seriously, you're no fun. Didn't I already say I'm not your enemy? You're here from the future for a reason, right?" Yusuke's tone was casual, as if he didn't already know exactly why they came.
Seeing no hint of killing intent from Yusuke, Sasuke slowly lowered his sword.
If Yusuke had meant to harm him, he would've been injured already with that speed alone.
Besides, his Rinnegan hadn't fully recovered yet. Even if there was a threat, he couldn't afford to move recklessly.
What confused him the most was how Kakashi's older brother could possess such terrifying power.
"Senior, I can't tell you anything. You once said that this kind of information could change the future," Sasuke said seriously.
"You're still so stubborn," Yusuke chuckled. "But I like this version of you. Way better than how you used to be."
He stepped back a little, hands tucked behind him in a relaxed posture. "Anyway, your little plan's obvious. I already know why you're here. It's about those so-called gods from the Ōtsutsuki Clan, isn't it?"
"W-What did you just say…?" Sasuke's eyes widened.
How could this man know that?
Before he could ask further, Boruto suddenly let out a pained groan and clutched his body.
"Oh come on, don't look so shocked. But I have to admit, it's kind of amusing seeing a little rat like you show such defiance."
Yusuke glanced lazily at Boruto, who was struggling with the pain surging through him.
Sasuke turned toward the boy. He already knew about Boruto's condition, but he had no way to help him.
Boruto's Jōgan suddenly activated, his eye narrowing sharply as he stared directly at Yusuke.
"Oh? A piece of trash like you trying to act tough? Or are you hoping I'll erase your existence right here and now?" Yusuke's voice was calm, but an overwhelming aura erupted from him—crushing the consciousness of Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki that lingered within Boruto's body. The parasite soul fell silent, swallowed by fear, and instantly lost all presence.
"The Jōgan, huh? This eye of yours isn't half bad. It might not surpass the Rinnegan, but it's certainly a rare anomaly… likely a byproduct of the mixed bloodline between Hinata and Naruto."
With his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, Yusuke could clearly sense the unique resonance of Boruto's dōjutsu.
That didn't mean it was stronger than other dōjutsu—it simply represented an awakening of an unusual lineage.
In terms of pure power, it still lagged behind the Rinnegan and hadn't even surpassed the Mangekyō Sharingan yet.
"Senior… Can you remove the Ōtsutsuki inside Boruto?" Sasuke asked, a hint of hope in his voice.
"Of course I can. But why should I?" Yusuke replied with a wry smile.
"You're Kakashi's older brother. That makes you Naruto's teacher. Boruto is Naruto's son!" Sasuke quickly added.
"I know that already." Yusuke tilted his head slightly. "But Sasuke, you still don't get it. That parasite inside Boruto... might actually come in handy when things get rough."
"Come in handy? How?" Sasuke frowned in confusion.
"Have you forgotten the 'pet' inside Naruto's body?" Yusuke asked, referring to Kurama.
Sasuke nodded slightly. That idea had crossed his mind too. Momoshiki could potentially be turned into a weapon if handled properly, which was why he hadn't tried to extract him before.
"Oh right—Sasuke," Yusuke continued, "you should really stop overusing your Rinnegan for now. Your body's not that of a Sage. Using the Rinnegan recklessly will tear it apart."
Sasuke's eyes widened again.
This man even knew about his physical condition. How much did he know?
"Understood, Senior," Sasuke nodded respectfully, though inside he murmured, Even so, I'll use this power to help Naruto… even if it costs me my life.
"Kids these days... You really should listen when someone gives you advice," Yusuke sighed, as if reading Sasuke's mind.
Raising one hand, he formed a swirl of azure flame and launched it straight at Sasuke.
Sasuke nearly reacted defensively, but realizing there was no killing intent, he held his ground.
To his surprise, his chakra instantly began to return. His wounds healed completely—including the internal damage that had accumulated from years of using the Rinnegan.
"Thank you, Senior," Sasuke said, bowing deeply.
"No need to thank me. Just a small favor," Yusuke waved him off. "Now then, take off your blindfold. Let me take a look at that eye of yours."
Sasuke slowly removed the cloth covering his left eye, revealing the dull glow of a depleted Rinnegan.
The six tomoe were gone, leaving behind only a regular Rinnegan.
Yusuke then removed the cloth covering his own eye, revealing a mystic turquoise-blue iris.
"That eye…" Sasuke's gaze sharpened.
"It's nothing special. Just a regular eye," Yusuke replied casually.
But Sasuke didn't believe him for a second. That eye was anything but ordinary. Its pressure alone rivaled his Rinnegan at full strength.
Of course, he had no idea that Yusuke's eye was actually his base state—and even in that form, he could access fragments of various dōjutsu like Rinnegan and Tenseigan, and even activate Mangekyō techniques without needing a transformation.
The drawback was that he couldn't use their full power. The advantage? He could use multiple dōjutsu simultaneously in their base forms.
For example, he could activate Tenseigan Chakra Mode while using Rinnegan techniques at the same time.
Yusuke wasn't interested in taking Sasuke's eye. Even if he fused it with Boruto's Jōgan, it wouldn't push his evolution forward.
Besides, Sasuke's Rinnegan only had one unique ability: Amenotejikara—and frankly, Yusuke wasn't impressed.
But Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's dōjutsu—the one capable of manipulating time—that was something far more tempting.
Yusuke had only asked to see Sasuke's eye so he could restore it.
His eyes flared for a moment, and a beam of dojutsu energy shot into Sasuke's right eye.
In an instant, the six tomoe returned to his Rinnegan.
"Thank you for your generosity, Senior," Sasuke bowed again, even deeper this time.
He knew better than anyone how long it would've taken to recover that kind of chakra. Let alone his dōjutsu—it could've taken years to fully restore.
And against monsters like the Ōtsutsuki Clan, ordinary ninjutsu was useless.
Only Taijutsu and Rinnegan-level abilities mattered. No wonder he'd been so drained.
"No need to thank me. Now come—let's head back to Konoha. If the Ōtsutsuki show up again, I'll know right away," Yusuke said casually, already turning to walk.
"With knowledge like yours, you must know how terrifying the Ōtsutsuki Clan is, right?" Sasuke asked cautiously.
"Relax." Yusuke smirked.
"I'm invincible."
Sasuke looked at him, utterly speechless.
Was this guy for real?
