Chapter 468: Damn It, You Should Have Said So Sooner!
Chapter 468: Damn It, You Should Have Said So Sooner!
Naruto had absolutely no intention of lending his own massive Chakra to Otohime.
"Asking to borrow Chakra from me? You must be joking, right?"
Otohime was truly anxious now.
Her current state was far worse than it appeared on the surface.
Maintaining the Silver Dragon form was not a simple transformation technique, but a necessary state to continuously cast ’Kamimusubi’ and stabilize her tenuous connection to this chaotic space-time.
A space-time Dōjutsu consumed a terrifying amount of Ocular Power and Chakra, especially in this ’turbulence zone’ that had already drifted away from normal space-time coordinates.
"Flying here consumes a lot of Chakra!"
Otohime’s voice carried clear anxiety and weakness, attempting to make Naruto understand the severity of the situation.
"If you don’t lend me Chakra, I... I won’t be able to stabilize the coordinate lock for ’Kamimusubi’, and I won’t be able to return to normal space-time. We will both be trapped here and die."
Her words were half-true and half-false.
The massive consumption was true, but ’unable to return’ was not necessarily so.
She had other trump cards or methods, but the cost was higher, and she never intended to take Naruto back with her.
Her real plan was: once this "stupid" human lent her his Chakra, she would immediately use a secret technique to drain him dry, then use the restored power to return alone, forever banishing this powerless, dying enemy to this space-time graveyard.
After a brief moment of thought, Naruto’s eyes flickered.
He decided to bluff her.
An old monster like Otohime who had lived for who knows how long was deeply scheming and possessed bizarre methods. What if she was still hiding some fatal trump card, or if the so-called ’unable to return’ was just a trap to lure him into relaxing his guard and voluntarily offering his Chakra?
Consequently, Naruto put on an expression of "having already seen through everything" and asked contemptuously:
"Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?"
The Silver Dragon’s massive body visibly stiffened in mid-air, and even its flight trajectory became momentarily chaotic.
Eh?
Otohime’s heart skipped a beat, and a flash of incredulous shock crossed her giant dragon eyes.
That cunning guy, did he really see through my plan so easily?
She had originally thought that under the pressure of a "shared predicament," the other party would at least hesitate or probe, but she hadn’t expected him to be so blunt and point it out directly, as if he had grasped her intentions from the very beginning.
In reality, Naruto was just probing out of caution and distrust, but Otohime was guilty of a guilty conscience.
Since the plan had been exposed, there was no point in continuing to put on an act or be subservient!
"Heh heh..."
The Silver Dragon let out a low, venomous sneer. "Since you’ve already seen through it..."
Before the words had even faded, the Silver Dragon abruptly changed direction. No longer trying to entangle or negotiate with Naruto, it poured all its remaining strength into a desperate gamble, charging madly toward a massive "space-time rift" nearby that was flickering with unstable, eerie blue light.
"Then let’s die together!"
Otohime’s dragon roar was filled with desperate madness and the resolve to perish together.
She would rather drag this hateful human down into the deeper, more unpredictable, and almost certainly fatal depths of the space-time turbulence than ever be controlled by him!
Holy crap, so much pressure!
Naruto’s eyes widened instantly, and he cursed inwardly.
He really hadn’t expected Otohime’s reaction to be so extreme and so resolute.
He had originally just wanted to apply pressure, test the waters, and gain more initiative, but the other party had flipped the table and was ready to risk her life.
Seeing the Silver Dragon about to dive headlong into that space-time rift radiating an Aura of destruction, the consequences would be unimaginable if they entered.
Naruto made an instant decision; he could no longer afford to worry about anything else!
"Lending, I’m lending it to you! I’ll lend you my Chakra! Stop, quickly!"
Naruto practically roared, his voice carrying a rare sense of urgency.
He certainly didn’t want to really fall into that kind of hellhole with this crazy woman.
He wasn’t in that state of having nothing when he first experienced Transmigration, and if he had known this woman would react so strongly to pressure, he wouldn’t have pressured her.
Hearing that Naruto had finally relented and agreed to lend her his Chakra, Otohime, who was charging toward the space-time rift, felt a surge of wild joy; the plan had succeeded!
This human was indeed afraid of death!
As long as he was willing to lend out his Chakra...
However, the joy on her face had just appeared before it instantly froze and twisted.
Because she was charging too fast!
That previous Aura of desperate resolve and the all-or-nothing acceleration had left her with absolutely no time to brake or turn.
"Damn it, you should have said so sooner!!!"
Otohime let out a shrill, desperate dragon roar filled with regret and unwillingness.
The silvery-white dragon body, carrying Naruto—who was gripping the dragon’s horns tightly and whose face had also changed drastically—shot forward like an arrow from a bow, or perhaps a moth flying into a flame, diving without hindrance headlong into that massive space-time rift where eerie blue light flickered violently, the internal space-time structure was completely shattered, and it seemed to lead to the place where all things end.
Hum—!!!
The blinding eerie blue light instantly swallowed everything.
The figures of the Silver Dragon and Naruto disappeared into the entrance of the rift, leaving behind only ripples in space-time that rapidly expanded and then quickly smoothed out.
After devouring its "prey," the space-time rift seemed to dim for an instant, then slowly writhed and contracted, finally closing quietly as if it had never appeared, disappearing into this dead-silent "space-time graveyard."
Leaving behind only endless silence and those massive rectangular stone blocks that continued to float slowly and indifferently.
Everything returned to dead silence.

In a mysterious space, several massive black cubes were scattered about.
There were three figures on the ground of this different dimension.
In the center of the space, a tall man with a giant horn on his forehead and a face as cold as ice was arrogantly stepping on the back of a youth with one foot.
Not far from him on the ground, Adult Sasuke lay sprawled, unable to move.
His body was pierced with black rods condensed from pure Yin-Yang Release power.
These black rods precisely pierced the key Chakra nodes and meridians in his body, not only blocking the flow of Chakra within him but also acting like the sturdiest shackles, tightly sealing all his limb joints and muscles, making it a luxury to even move a finger.
He could only lie on the ground like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, staring fixedly at Isshiki with eyes that still burned with an unyielding flame.
And at a position closer to the front of Sasuke, Uzumaki Boruto was lying on the ground in a sorry state, panting heavily.
His face was covered in wounds, his clothes were torn, and he had clearly experienced a cruel, one-sided battle.
There was no helping it; Boruto was too young and far from being a match for this Otsutsuki before him.
He gritted his teeth and tried to push his body up with all his might, but Isshiki was stepping firmly on his back, making it impossible for him to move even a fraction.
"It seems you have prepared yourself to die, Uzumaki Boruto."
