Urashiki, I Will Have You
"What did you say!!!"
Killer B could hardly believe his ears.
As an outsider, one might not see anything wrong with Pain's words. But for someone directly involved, Pain's words, coupled with his tone and condescending attitude, sounded like a supreme god proclaiming judgment on mortals.
This is not contempt, but a matter of course.
Killer B was furious. He glanced at the Raikage lying at Pain's feet, his eyes bloodshot, and red Tailed Beast Chakra instantly filled his body. He roared and urged Pain to attack.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Before even reaching Pain, Killer B had already entered the second stage of Tailed Beast Mode, his entire body turning crimson and losing all human form, resembling a miniature Eight-Tails.
"Die!"
It's a long story, but in reality, it was just a flash of red light, Killer B had already rushed in front of Heavenly Path like a missile.
Wherever it passed, the earth cracked, soil flew up, and a deep mark was carved into the ground.
Shinra Tensei!
'Boom--'
Pain was still six people after all. Killer B was too fast, and the Preta Path didn't have time to block the Heavenly Path.
An overwhelming repulsive force surged forth, and the ground rolled outwards like ocean waves.
Killer B was frozen in mid-air for a second, then flew out like a cannonball.
Amidst the deafening explosion, Killer B was sent flying hundreds of meters away, crashing into dozens of houses before being buried under the rubble.
"Lord Killer B!"
Several figures Body Flicker Technique from the surrounding ruins, followed closely by a large number of Cloud Ninja. Seeing Killer B repelled by Pain, the Cloud Ninja rush forward and fight Pain to the death...
"That is..."
"Lord Raikage!!!"
The corpse at Pain's feet stunned all the Cloud Ninja!
The Lord Raikage had always been invincible, was actually... killed in battle!
Unlike other ninja villages, Kumogakure is a village where the Martial Combat faction holds the leadership position.
The Raikage is combative, but he is also a man of great loyalty and righteousness.
Although the Raikage is the leader of Kumogakure, he treats the village ninjas like brothers in private.
For example, the Third Raikage, when surrounded by Allied Shinobi Forces from various villages, chose to hold off the Cloud Ninja retreat. He fought the 10,000 ninja for three days and three nights until he finally died from exhaustion!
But precisely because of this, among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Kumogakure has the fewest missing-nin.
The Akatsuki has Konoha Ninja, Kirigakure Ninja, Sand Ninja, and Stone Ninja, but it has no Cloud Ninja.
For the ninjas of Kumogakure, the Raikage was not only their leader, but also their elder brother and an invincible faith.
Now, their faith has been shattered, and their brother has died in battle.
"Avenge Lord Raikage!"
"Kill him!"
"Go!"
The Cloud Ninja, their eyes bloodshot and moist, charged toward Pain expressions.
Heavenly Path Pain, extends his arms out...
3...2...1...
Shinra Tensei!
Amidst the ruins, Killer B shouted, "You all step back, leave this guy to me..."
However, it was all too late.
An invisible repulsive force swept outwards like a tsunami, and the Cloud Ninja who rushed up couldn't even touch Pain's Kakuzu; the rain of Shuriken was frozen in mid-air...
The next second, everything around the Heavenly Path flew backwards at the same time, adding hundreds of corpses to the ruins a hundred meters away.
As if he had done something insignificant, Heavenly Path calmly withdrew his hands and looked at Killer B with indifferent eyes.
Banshō Ten'in!
Gravity was activated, Killer B was instantly pulled out, flying rapidly towards Heavenly Path.
"Ughhhh!"
Killer B roared in anguish, and a small, jet-black ball rapidly condensed in front of his mouth, growing to the size of a basketball in the blink of an eye.
Tailed Beast Bomb!
'Boom!'
Upon witnessing his elder brother's death and the deaths of hundreds of Cloud Ninja, Killer B so enraged that he nearly lost his mind, completely forgetting that he was still in the Kumogakure, and recklessly activated the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Pain's eyes were serious.
The five-second cooldown of Shinra Tensei is a huge weakness, and the Tailed Beast Bomb is even faster than normal under the influence of gravity.
The Preta Path Body Flicker Technique in front of the Heavenly Path.
Absorption Seal!
'Bang!'
The Tailed Beast Bomb crashed into the white, transparent barrier. The Tailed Beast Bomb, which was powerful enough to shatter half of the Kumogakure, shrank rapidly the moment it touched the barrier and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"..."
Hinata fell silent for a moment. There was nothing more to see in this battle. The Rinnegan could suppress Tailed Beasts, and Killer B had no chance of winning.
Let alone the Rinnegan, even the Mangekyo Sharingan is something that Tailed Beasts cannot withstand.
Moreover, given the Rinnegan's insightful abilities, Killer B cutting off his tail would hardly fool Pain.
"There's no trace of Obito. Did he not come?"
Hinata spread her Natural Sensing and Malice Perception to the fullest extent, but not only was Obito not nearby, but even White Zetsu was not around.
"After this battle, Nagato will have eight Tailed Beasts at his disposal..."
"As for the Seven-Tails..."
Hinata was well aware that Konoha had sent people to Takigakure to discuss the relocation and protection of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.
Actually, it was Hinata who inspired this.
Hinata's threat to Pain during the Three-Tails Incident was actually the best way to protect the Tailed Beasts.
"Xiao should be able to handle it too!"
"..."
"Then the next step is to have Orochimaru summon Minato Namikaze and forcibly remove the Nine-Tails."
"Once Nine Tailed Beasts are gathered, Kaguya Otsutsuki will descend upon the Shinobi World once more."
At that time, Hinata's path to interstellar supremacy will be unimpeded.
But before that...
Nagato had to die because he couldn't help Black Zetsu complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Besides that... Hinata plans to kill Urashiki before killing Nagato.
Previously, Hinata lacked sufficient power, and with Future Sasuke and Himawari present, Hinata was unable to absorb Urashiki's power alone.
But this time it's different.
Hinata plans to absorb all of Urashiki's Chakra to master the Space-time ninjutsu 'Yomotsu Hirasaka', adding another trump card to her repertoire.
Moreover, it might be necessary to revisit the memories of Urashiki.
"Moon..."
Hinata slightly raised her head...
Alright! It's still broad daylight, and the moon is currently on the other side of the Ninja World.
"We must get that eye too!"
Those are the eyes that the God Tree itself, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, took a thousand years to cultivate; their power is absolutely no weaker than Kaguya Otsutsuki's Rinne Sharingan.
Hinata also had another idea.
That eye Tenseigan Chamber —was it from a thousand years... or five hundred...?
If that eye is merely the power absorbed by the God Tree over five hundred years, then it proves that Hagoromo Otsutsuki is still alive in this world.
The other Tenseigan is on Hamura's body.
Kumogakure, Hinata slowly disappeared into the horizon.
Urashiki! I must have you!
