"Enough. Die."
Seeing Urashiki still struggling, Uchiha Ren sighed softly, his eyes turning cold.
"You can beco nourishnt for the Ten-Tails too."
"No!!"
With a shriek torn from his throat, Urashiki's eyes flashed. Like a man forcing out his last burst of life, he unleashed an even more terrifying wave of ocular power. The blue Rinnegan in his eyes shifted again, evolving into a six-tomoe Rinnegan.
But that was only the start.
In the next instant, Urashiki willed it, and his red-glowing fish basket and fishing rod appeared. He opened his mouth and devoured all the chakra sealed inside them.
Boom!!
Another surge of monstrous eye power exploded outward.
Before everyone's stunned gaze, a golden Rinnegan opened on Urashiki's forehead.
The sight was shocking.
Far away, Queen Loran, Princess Sara, and the ministers could only stare in disbelief.
This Urashiki had already been beaten into such a miserable state by the Fifth Hokage, yet he still wanted to struggle to the end.
He really didn't know when to stop.
More importantly, in front of the current Fifth Hokage, did that resistance matter at all?
Obviously not.
"Uchiha Ren, you really are strong," Urashiki laughed wildly, his skin growing even paler, his face twisted with ferocity. "But I'm no weakling either."
"You forced this on . Even if I can't drag you down with , I'll still make you pay in blood."
Originally, Urashiki had not wanted to fight to the death.
He only wanted to survive—better yet, escape back to the Ōtsutsuki main family and bring reinforcents.
But Ren had pushed him too far. Ren ant to kill him for real, and that crossed Urashiki's bottom line.
If he had to die, then he would make Ren pay first.
At the very least—
he could still destroy Earth.
Buzz!!
As he spoke, the golden Rinnegan on his forehead, the six-tomoe Rinnegan in his eyes, and the blue Rinnegan in his palm all released terrifying fluctuations, as if they were about to erupt together at any mont.
Under that pressure, the Earth—just barely settled—began to shake again.
"Why bother?"
Watching Urashiki force himself into this last stand, Ren's expression did not change in the slightest.
"Urashiki, stop struggling."
"You'll never understand what a complete Ten-Tails jinchūriki really is."
"Freeze."
The word fell lightly from Ren's mouth.
In that instant, the surrounding space seed to lock solid. Ti and space in the entire area were sealed into stillness, drowning everything in a stagnant, chaotic hush.
Urashiki was trapped inside it.
If one looked closely, his expression remained exactly as it had been a mont ago. The golden Rinnegan, the six-tomoe Rinnegan, the blue Rinnegan—they were all still releasing power.
But the terrifying force they produced could no longer spread outward.
It had been sealed in place with him.
"So this is the Ten-Tails' power…"
Looking at Urashiki, frozen where he stood, Ren couldn't help but sigh.
Only after becoming the Ten-Tails jinchūriki could one truly understand how terrifying this power was.
Ren knew a fair amount about the original Ten-Tails—the one the Sage of Six Paths had split apart. But this Ten-Tails, the one he had revived through the system, was every bit as terrifying.
And this simultaneous imprisonnt of ti and space—
was only one of its abilities.
"Urashiki, it's ti."
Ren moved in a blur and appeared directly in front of him, lowering his voice as he spoke.
"Once you and Kinshiki are dead, the Ōtsutsuki main family will definitely be enraged. I'll be waiting for them."
"The fate of your clan… is to beco my nourishnt."
"You—!"
At such close range, hearing Ren speak those words, the hatred in Urashiki's golden Rinnegan and six-tomoe eyes rose almost to the point of bursting.
He wanted to speak.
He wanted to explode.
He would have gladly self-destructed if he could.
But it was useless.
With both ti and space around him sealed, all he could do was glare at the Fifth Hokage in helpless fury.
That utter powerlessness was driving him mad.
Squish.
The sound of Urashiki's golden Rinnegan being torn out rang clearly in the air.
Then, under the helpless gaze of his remaining six-tomoe eyes, the golden Rinnegan he had been so proud of was taken into Ren's hand—and absorbed on the spot.
Crack…
Once its ocular power had been drained, fine fractures spread across the golden Rinnegan until it shattered into fragnts and scattered through the air.
And in response—
Buzz.
The aura around Uchiha Ren stirred once more.
Only slightly.
But enough.
His already terrifying strength had grown again.
"Good."
Feeling that subtle increase in power, Ren's smile turned colder as his gaze shifted toward Urashiki's six-tomoe Rinnegan.
There was sothing almost cruel in the way he looked at it.
