Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 119 Transformation

Jiraiya has brought Boruto and Naruto to a relatively safe location, ensuring they are temporarily out of danger.

Boruto seemed anxious, the scene of Sasuke jumping off the cliff with Urashiki in his arms still vivid in his mind. He urged, "We have to go back and save them quickly."

Jiraiya shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "If we can't break his moves, even if we go back now, we won't be able to change the course of the battle."

However, what Boruto and the others don't know is that Sasuke has already been rescued by Sakura and is receiving treatment to recover from his injuries.

Boruto pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and pointed to the clothes he had just taken off to bandage Jiraiya's wounds.

"Wasn't that Urashiki guy covered in blood? But the blood on his body had almost dried, while the blood on this shirt was still wet."

Naruto asked Boruto curiously, "The blood on his body dries quickly, what does that mean?"

Jiraiya pondered for a moment, then guessed at several possibilities: "There are a few possibilities for why the bloodstains dried. First, it could be that the heat emanating from his body caused the blood to dry quickly; second, it could be that it was dried by a strong wind; or third, it could be that the time he lived in was different from ours, and the blood flowed faster there."

Jiraiya went on to explain his idea: "He may have the ability to rewind time."

Boruto nodded: "Indeed, if that's the case, all those strange phenomena can be explained."

At that moment, Urashiki used his Byakugan ability to successfully locate Boruto and the others' hiding place. Then, he silently descended from the sky and appeared in the forest where Naruto was.

“You have nowhere to run.” Urashiki said with a cold smile.

Then, Urashiki swung his fishing rod and cast it toward Boruto and the others.

With just one swing from Urashiki, several large trees around him were broken and crashed to the ground.

Seeing the group retreating, Urashiki followed closely behind.

“That’s right, time is my ally. Now let me end your lives.” Urashiki had already overheard Boruto and the others’ conversation.

At that moment, Boruto rushed forward from behind Urashiki and threw a punch straight at his back.

However, Urashiki opened his blue Rinnegan and immediately used fishing line to tightly bind Boruto, stopping Boruto's punch attack.

Urashiki then pulled Boruto, whom he had bound, closer to him, looked directly at Boruto, and slowly said, "Do you know why I had so many opportunities to kill you, but never did? Because you are Momo's vessel, and killing you would be tantamount to cutting off Momo's chance of reincarnation."

"Damn it!" Naruto was furious when he saw Boruto being bound. He immediately threw several shuriken at Urashiki in an attempt to free Boruto.

Urashiki loosened the fishing line binding Boruto, threw him to the ground, and then casually swung the fishing hook, skillfully knocking all the flying shuriken to the ground.

Jiraiya, seeing Urashiki so close at hand, decisively bit his finger and swiftly unleashed a ninjutsu: "Ninjutsu: Toad Mouth Binding Technique." As Jiraiya activated the technique, everyone's vision suddenly went completely dark.

Jiraiya turned to the bewildered Urashiki and explained, "This is inside the belly of the giant toad of Mount Myōboku."

After listening to Jiraiya's explanation, Urashiki looked around and observed the strange environment made of fleshy walls, realizing his location.

"I see, so it's inside the toad's stomach. What you're doing is quite amusing. Did you think you could defeat me like this?"

Jiraiya continued calmly, "It's obvious that while you possess the ability to rewind time, its limit is only a few seconds. Otherwise, we would be dead already."

"Now, you can't go back to the point in time before you entered the toad's belly, can you?"

Urashiki scoffed at Jiraiya's idea, looking at him with disdain: "So what? You want to corrode me with this toad's stomach acid? That's a pathetic idea."

Jiraiya decided to stop the pointless verbal sparring with Urashiki. He winked at the two men behind him, signaling them to prepare for action.

Boruto responded to Jiraiya's signal by nodding and then quickly extending his arm, firing several shots at Urashiki: "Lightning Release: Swift Lightning Arrows!"

At this moment, Naruto followed Boruto's actions, creating dozens of shadow clones, who together charged towards Urashiki.

Urashiki let out a series of sneers, dodging Boruto and the others' attacks one by one using the power of his blue Rinnegan: "I told you your attacks are completely ineffective against me. Don't waste your energy, just surrender."

Just as Urashiki continued confidently forward, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, felt all his strength rapidly draining away, and collapsed weakly to his knees before them: "This...this isn't right, what happened?"

Jiraiya slowly stood up, smiling at Urashiki, and said, "You've been fooled. The air here is filled with acidic toxins, colorless and odorless, making them hard to detect, right?"

"It only takes 10 minutes for the whole body to become paralyzed due to poisoning, and you use that ability so frequently that you have accumulated several times more toxins in your body than we do."

Urashiki realized he had fallen into a trap and was instantly enraged. He roared furiously, "A bunch of creatures who are not even as good as monkeys! How dare you be so arrogant!"

At this moment, Boruto created two shadow clones, who unleashed Gale Palm, propelling their main bodies, which were wielding purple lightning, forward and charging straight towards Urashiki.

Due to the effects of poisoning, Urashiki was unable to unleash his full power. He reacted too late and was pierced through the body by Boruto's purple lightning.

Boruto stared at Urashiki lying motionless on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I defeated him!"

Boruto then turned to the two and said, "Let's hurry down to the bottom of the cliff and take a look." After saying that, Boruto started walking, preparing to search for Sasuke's whereabouts.

At this moment, Pu Shi's fingers, which had been pierced through his chest by the purple lightning, twitched slightly. Then, he slowly clenched his fist, stood up stiffly, and floated in the air.

Boruto stopped turning around and shouted at Urashiki, "Stop struggling! Urashiki!"

Urashiki responded to Boruto with disdain: "A death throes? Hmph! You underestimate the Otsutsuki clan."

Urashiki reached behind his back, picked up the red-glowing fish basket, put it to his mouth, and inhaled sharply. The fish basket immediately transformed into a stream of chakra, which Urashiki absorbed entirely into his body.
