After Yoruha vanished, he reappeared in a dense part of the forest. Facing the two individuals before him, Yoruha wore a calm expression. However, the moment these two saw Yoruha appear, they were utterly shocked.
"You've been watching the whole time since earlier. That guy was lured here by you, wasn't he?" Yoruha spoke, and the older of the two hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand, we're here to capture that person, not to be your enemies." The younger one continued to stare at Yoruha in shock.
Swallowing hard, the power Yoruha displayed earlier had terrified him. It was a strength no human should possess. Yoruha looked at the two, remaining silent for a moment.
In this tense atmosphere, both individuals were filled with fear.
These two were none other than Sasuke and Boruto, who had traveled back from the future to pursue Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
As Yoruha looked at them calmly, Boruto swallowed nervously, thinking to himself, "Is this the legendary ninja?"
"He's so strong," he thought. "At this age, he already possesses power beyond my dad and teacher. It's terrifying." Yoruha observed the two, recognizing their identities instantly.
However, he was pondering that the Sasuke before him didn't quite meet his expectations in terms of strength. Yoruha remained silent for a long time before finally speaking. He said calmly, "Go back. I can pretend I didn't see you."
Hearing this, Sasuke thought, "As expected, he figured it out. Of course, there's no way to deceive him, not even at this point in time." Sasuke stood up, bowed to Yoruha, and then left with Boruto.
After they departed, Yoruha was lost in thought, remaining silent for a while longer.
Eventually, he murmured to himself, "Not much stronger than me, and his chakra reserves aren't as vast as mine. Sasuke, it seems your future isn't much stronger than in the original story. Is this your limit?" Yoruha felt a bit disappointed.
He had initially thought that by altering Sasuke's path, Sasuke would become significantly stronger than in the original tale.
But Yoruha was disappointed. Future Sasuke wasn't much stronger than his original counterpart. However, such thoughts were unique to Yoruha.
After all, the Sasuke from earlier was already at the Six Paths level. To ordinary people, he was akin to a god. Yet Yoruha still felt disappointed.
Yoruha had only changed Sasuke's early trajectory; Sasuke's inherent potential was fixed. Yoruha could help him improve his lower limits, but the upper limits were already set.
At most, because of Yoruha, Sasuke could progress more smoothly in the early stages and reach his limits sooner.
Although Yoruha wasn't satisfied, once Sasuke reached the Six Paths level, he could stabilize and wouldn't decline after sealing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, unlike in the original story.
Even though his chakra reserves weren't as abundant as Yoruha's, they were still at the level of a tailed beast. Compared to the original, he was slightly stronger, which meant a slight increase in his upper limit.
It just wasn't a significant improvement, which left Yoruha a bit dissatisfied.
But it's important to note that Sasuke at this point was at the Six Paths level, and any further improvement at this level could be life-altering for such a powerful individual. Yoruha silently shook his head.
He turned and vanished into the forest. In the same instant, he reappeared beside Sasuke.
Yoruha thought for a moment and said to Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, I want to do something." Kakashi was just about to speak with Yoruha when Yoruha suddenly said this. Kakashi didn't ask further, "What is it?"
Yoruha approached Sasuke and said, "I want to seal that person we just fought inside Sasuke." Kakashi was stunned, momentarily too shocked to speak.
"What!?" Not only was Kakashi shocked, but even Manda, who had crawled over, was also stunned. With a look of horror, Manda stared at Yu, "Kid, didn't you just destroy that guy?"
They had just witnessed Yoruha using a bizarre jutsu to obliterate Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, leaving nothing behind. Yoruha turned to look at Kakashi, "I did kill him, but I can reassemble his power."
This was also the ability of the Space Sphere, which could reassemble things that had been annihilated within it. Of course, whether it could bring something back to life was uncertain.
But Yoruha didn't care because he only wanted to reassemble Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's power, specifically his Ōtsutsuki body and Rinnegan.
Yoruha was dissatisfied with the strength of the future Sasuke and wanted to turn Sasuke into something akin to a jinchūriki, eventually transforming him into a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan. It was similar to how Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki had parasitized Boruto.
The difference was that Momoshiki did it voluntarily, while Yoruha intended to forcibly seal Ōtsutsuki Urashiki inside Sasuke.
As long as Sasuke could gain Urashiki's approval in the future, he could inherit his power. This would significantly raise Sasuke's potential.
Kakashi looked troubled. He couldn't even fathom what Yoruha was thinking. He had seen how dangerous that person's power was.
Yoruha actually wanted to seal such a dangerous person inside Sasuke. Was he crazy? However, Kakashi also knew that Yoruha wouldn't do something without reason.
So Kakashi asked, "What's the reason?" Yoruha turned to Kakashi, smiling, "Because doing so will make Sasuke stronger. That guy's power is very suitable for Sasuke." Kakashi remained silent, while Manda said, "You mean that person's eyes?"
Manda guessed that Yoruha wanted to seal Urashiki inside Sasuke because of the Rinnegan. Yoruha nodded, "Manda, you have some insight." "But that's too reckless. If that guy's still alive, who knows if he'll control the kid or the other way around?"
This was indeed a significant risk. Yoruha, however, was unconcerned, saying, "I'll help Sasuke control him. As long as Sasuke can master his power, he'll become very strong." Kakashi still hadn't made a decision.
"Let's leave this decision to the Hokage and Jiraiya-sama." Yoruhadidn't push the matter; it was just a spontaneous idea. "I have no objections."
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. If Yoruha had insisted, no one could have stopped him. Thankfully, Yoruha wasn't reckless. Yoruha looked at Aoda and Manda, smiling, "Thank you both for your hard work. You can go back now."
Aoda and Manda exchanged a glance and then disappeared. Yoruha looked at Naruto and Sasuke lying on the ground and said, "Let's head back to the Hokage's office." With that, they instantly appeared in the Hokage's office.
Even though it wasn't the first time seeing Yoruha use the Flying Thunder God Technique, witnessing it again was still astonishing.
Yoruha's jutsu had evolved beyond the Flying Thunder God Technique. It was practically teleportation by thought.
This was a power beyond human capability. As Yoruha, Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke appeared, Tsunade and Jiraiya quickly approached, asking, "What happened?" Jiraiya helped Naruto up, while Shizune assisted Sasuke.
In the office, many of Konoha's elite jōnin were gathered, including Guy, Asuma, Kurenai, and even the two Hokage advisors.
