Chapter 192 – Naruto Has Been Kidnapped
In this shinobi world, Sasuke believed there were very few who could surpass him or Naruto in strength—especially someone who didn't carry the blood of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
But Hatake Yusuke clearly wasn't someone they could measure by common standards.
"Let's go," Yusuke said with a wave of his hand.
In an instant, a dimensional portal swirled open in midair.
"…Such an advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu," Sasuke muttered, visibly stunned by the seamless display.
Moments later, they were inside Yusuke's house.
He calmly led them into Kakashi's room.
Since Kakashi was currently away on a mission, the room was vacant.
"This is Kakashi's house," Sasuke commented softly, recognizing the layout immediately.
Just then, two familiar voices echoed through the hallway.
"Please slow down, Lady Tsunade!" came Shizune's anxious plea.
"Tch! That damned Hoshigakure is really testing my patience!" Tsunade growled in frustration.
The Hokage stormed in alongside her assistant, still grumbling under her breath. Upon hearing their voices, Sasuke and Boruto reflexively shifted, preparing to hide.
"What's the matter, Tsunade? You look unusually fired up," Yusuke asked, glancing toward her with a half-smile.
"That damn Star Village—Hoshigakure—they dared to withhold our logistical supplies and even issued absurd demands!" Tsunade snapped, practically fuming.
"Oh?" Yusuke raised a brow, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. "Sounds like they've grown quite bold."
"If it weren't for that old debt Konoha owes them, I would've already leveled their village," she growled, clenching her fists.
Yusuke chuckled. "I could wipe them out for you, if you want."
Sasuke remained calm, but Boruto's eyes widened at the casual offer—destroying an entire village over a political dispute?
The scary part was… he knew Yusuke could actually do it.
And Hoshigakure did exist in the future timeline—though it was a minor village.
"No need to go that far. But yes, they do need to be put in their place. I've already sent Kakashi to handle it," Tsunade replied with a sigh.
As she said that, she finally noticed the two unfamiliar figures standing beside Yusuke.
It was already night, so she didn't immediately recognize them as the same suspicious pair spotted earlier—supposedly under Jiraiya and Naruto's watch.
"Who are they?" Tsunade asked suspiciously, narrowing her eyes.
"Just a couple of harmless kids. Don't worry about them," Yusuke replied with a dismissive wave. "You should get some rest, Tsunade. I've got some things to take care of."
She nodded, though clearly still dissatisfied.
That exchange alone was enough to dissolve Sasuke's remaining doubts about Yusuke's intentions.
"You two can stay in Kakashi's room for now. Focus on protecting Naruto," Yusuke instructed. "Oh, and a little advice—use Fuinjutsu to seal off your chakra. Otherwise, in this place, it's likely to get stolen."
"…As expected. You really do know everything," Sasuke said, bowing his head slightly.
"Gramps Yusuke, can I see what Uncle Kakashi looks like under his mask?" Boruto suddenly asked, having fully woken up.
"Oh?" Yusuke blinked, chuckling. "Sure, but why?"
"Well… you're his older brother, right? And since he always wears a mask, I was wondering if you guys look alike," Boruto said innocently.
"Hah?" Yusuke laughed, then removed his own face cover.
"Whoa! So cool! You're even cooler than Uncle Sasuke!" Boruto exclaimed, eyes sparkling.
"Haha! I like you, kid. You've got good taste!" Yusuke ruffled his hair, clearly pleased.
"Alright, rest up for now," Yusuke said, then turned and exited the room.
For the next few days, Yusuke stayed in Konoha, spending time with Tsunade and Kurenai.
On the third day after meeting Boruto and Sasuke, a figure quietly hovered above the forest outside the village, a sinister grin playing on his lips.
Pale skin, pupil-less white eyes, a strange headband-like horn on his forehead, and a long fishing rod strapped to his back—he was none other than Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
"Well, well... I've found you at last, little fox," Urashiki muttered.
Without hesitation, he soared toward Naruto's location.
"Oh? So you've finally shown up." Yusuke stood atop a tall building, pulling his blindfold back over his eyes. "Don't disappoint me, Ōtsutsuki. Let's see if you're worth the trouble."
Kurenai, now visibly pregnant, walked over.
"Heading out again?" she asked gently.
"Just for a bit. Someone interesting has arrived. If I don't handle it personally, others might not be able to stop him," he replied with a soft smile.
"Please be careful."
"You too," he said, giving her a light nod.
This time, he didn't declare that he was invincible. He simply didn't want Kurenai to worry—though the truth was, Urashiki wasn't even a threat to him.
Meanwhile, Urashiki was already floating above the Hidden Leaf Village, eyes scanning the dense forest where Naruto had been training.
"There you are, little fox…" he murmured, diving down.
"Who the hell are you?!" Jiraiya stepped in front of Naruto, his senses flaring with danger.
"…Something's wrong," Sasuke muttered, appearing beside them in a flash and shielding Naruto.
"Well, well… you're all here too?" Urashiki sneered.
Without warning, he swung his rod, launching the chakra hook toward Naruto.
Sasuke tried to react—but the hook failed to steal Naruto's chakra.
A sealing mark flared on Naruto's chest, repelling the foreign chakra flow.
Naruto wasted no time, forming a Rasengan and charging forward.
But Urashiki's threads wrapped tightly around him, lifting the boy high into the sky.
"Banshō Ten'in!" Sasuke extended his hand, yanking Urashiki down with gravitational force.
Urashiki countered instantly—his hip pouch flared, releasing a barrage of elemental attacks: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning. They shot at Sasuke from every direction.
Sasuke responded with a perfectly timed Shinra Tensei, dispersing the attacks midair.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Bullet!" Jiraiya shouted, breathing out a stream of searing flames toward the enemy.
Urashiki vanished just before impact, effortlessly dodging the technique.
"What a mess…" came a lazy voice.
Yusuke finally appeared, watching the chaos unfold with a bored expression.
"You're here! Naruto's been kidnapped!" Jiraiya called out in alarm.
"Yeah, I saw. They went that way," Yusuke replied, already floating forward.
"Why didn't you help earlier?!" Boruto shouted angrily.
"Because this is Konoha," Yusuke said with a shrug. "If I fought here, the village could've been reduced to rubble. I may not care much about that, but Tsunade is the Hokage, after all."
"Tch…"
"Let's go. Naruto will be fine," Yusuke said calmly.
To him, Urashiki wasn't even worth fighting seriously. If Kaguya herself had appeared, that might've been another matter.
Truth be told, neither Urashiki nor Momoshiki were that powerful.
Even Kaguya, without the Ten-Tails, wasn't especially terrifying.
What made her strong was absorbing the Ten-Tails and drawing chakra from across the world.
For comparison: the Third Raikage's chakra was said to rival that of a Tailed Beast. Hashirama Senju alone could match Kurama.
So if Kaguya absorbed all the chakra from the Shinobi World and her God Tree seeds… of course her power would become near-absolute.
