Shinki's Dust Release

Soon, the battle between the three Akatsuki and the Jinchūriki, Roshi, began.

Roshi Four-Tails Jinchūriki, possessed the Kekkei Genkai Lava Release and was extremely powerful, but he was defeated within minutes of being surrounded by the three members of the Akatsuki.

After defeating Roshi, the Akatsuki members returned to prepare for the ritual to extract the Tailed Beasts.

On the way, Kisame, carrying Roshi's body, said, "Actually, the individual combat strength of Jinchūriki isn't very strong. If it weren't for the Shinki blocking our way, our progress in collecting the Tailed Beasts would definitely be much faster."

"Yeah, if it weren't for that kid, our plan would probably have succeeded long ago," Scorpion said with a sigh.

Of the three, he had the best life; he encountered the Shinki several times and is still alive. (▿▿)

Scorpion continued, "Do you think he might chase us here?"

"I've heard that Shinki is dedicated to preventing our organization from collecting the Tailed Beasts."

Suddenly, Jue popped his head out from underground. "Haven't you heard the latest intelligence?"

"Because Shinki blew up the entire Kinrin Mountains, he went to Iwagakure to discuss compensation. He created a Crystal Mountain using Crystal Release, Chakra was severely depleted, and he's been bedridden for several days."

"And it's said that their strength has greatly diminished, and they're not as good as before."

"He's probably still in the Land of Earth, how could he have the time to come to the Land of Birds? ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

"I've heard of it, but this information feels a bit unreal," Kisame replied.

Sasori nodded in agreement, "I think so too. How could a genius Ninja stirred up such a storm in the Shinobi World end up like this?"

Konan: "The curtain falls? Did you two misunderstand the intelligence? It only said his strength was greatly reduced, not that he died. ┐(´-`)┌"

Sasori argued, "He made so many enemies in the Shinobi World, his strength was greatly diminished, what difference is there between him and being dead? ┐(´-`)┌"

Jue looked speechlessly at the arguing group and said, "Alright, alright, we're almost at the Hideout. Let's hurry up and carry out the Tailed Beast Extraction Ritual."

On the other side.

After arriving in the Land of Birds, Shinki and Sasuke's team searched everywhere but couldn't find the Four-Tails Jinchūriki.

"Could that old guy have already returned to the Land of Earth?" Sasuke asked.

Shinki frowned. "I don't know. Let's ask the information brokers at the Bounty Station."

Upon arriving at the Bounty Station in the Land of Birds, Shinki was surprised to learn that Akatsuki and the Kisame members had also come to the Land of Birds.

"The Akatsuki have arrived? If that's the case, it's very likely that Roshi has already been captured by some of the Akatsuki."

After finishing his analysis, Shinki looked up at Sasuke, "When you Akatsuki, did they say where they would take the captured Tailed Beasts?"

Sasuke honestly replied, "There's an Akatsuki Hideout on the border between the Land of Birds and the Land of Earth. The Masked Man instructed me that if I successfully capture the Five-Tails, I should go there to extract its tail..."

Shinki nodded. "Then let's not delay, let's set off immediately."

Upon arriving Hideout the Akatsuki that Sasuke had mentioned, Shinki cast an admiring glance at Sasuke.

"If it weren't for you pointing the way, this place would have been really hard to find."

"However, I can't sense any Tailed Beast Chakra Breath."

"Well, since we're already here, we might as well go in and take a look. ╮(╯_╰)╭"

After speaking, Shinki gestured for everyone to step back slightly and raised his arm...

At the same time.

Inside the Hideout.

The Akatsuki members are currently extracting the Tailed Beasts.

Suddenly, Jue emerged from underground, exclaiming in a panic, "Oh no! The Shinki is coming! ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!"

Konan: "Our Hideout is extremely well-hidden; how could it possibly be found so easily!"

Zetsu replied, "I saw Sasuke with him. ㅍ_ㅍ"

Kisame nearby, wore a helpless expression. "Itachi-san's younger brother is really unreliable."

Scorpion, standing nearby, asked with some panic, "Where is he? ∑(✘Д✘๑)"

Scorpion had escaped from the clutches of the Shinki several times, but luck wouldn't always be on his side...

Right after he asked that question, a huge noise came from the cave entrance!

With a deafening crash, the Giant Rock shattered, sending fragments flying everywhere!

The light from the outside world contrasts sharply with the darkness inside the cave.

At the boundary between light and darkness, the figure of the Shinki appears!

Upon seeing the people inside the cave and Roshi, whose Tailed Beast was being extracted from his body, Shinki was glad he had thought, "Since I'm already here."

This is because a special Sealing Jutsu was set up inside the cave, shielding him from the ability to sense Chakra.

"No wonder I couldn't sense the Tailed Beast Chakra just now," Shinki murmured.

"Alright, everyone, please stop what you're doing for a moment. I want this Tailed Beast! (๑╹ヮ╹๑)ﾉ"

Opposite.

After the Shinki entered the cave, the extraction of the Tailed Beasts ceased.

The Zetsu, utilizing its stealth advantage, burrowed underground and escaped.

After hearing Shinki's words, the remaining Kisame, Sasori, and Konan exchanged glances inside the cave.

Finally, Konan stepped forward first. "I will avenge Nagato!"

Kisame, carrying his Samehada, followed closely behind. "I heard your strength has been greatly reduced. I wonder how much of it you have left?"

Behind the Shinki, Sasuke's team was also poised to strike.

Sasuke, brandishing his long sword, said, "Let me see the strength of Akatsuki!"

Suigetsu said, "Kisame- senpai, our last duel ended inconclusively, but this time I'm going to be serious."

Jūgo's body began to form Cursed Seal, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Sasuke is the second person besides Kimimaro who can suppress my violent desires. If he wants to defeat you, then so can I! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"

Faced with everyone's confident and impassioned speeches, Karin silently stood behind the Shinki: "No matter how strong you are, Shinki will definitely defeat you! (◔◡◔)"

"Alright, enough with the threats, time to get down to business."

Shinki raised his hand and clapped his hands together!

"Smack!"

"Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

"Buzz--"

After Shinki finished shouting, he opened his hands, and a point of White Light appeared in his palms!

The White Light diffused and formed a white, transparent cube!

Inside the cube, Kisame, Sasori, Konan looked utterly astonished!

=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇), (≖╻≖;), ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!!

I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

Konan stared at the white barriers around her, her mouth agape, and exclaimed, "How did he even learn the Tsuchikage's Dust Release?!"

Sasori slumped his head helplessly. "It's over. Dust Release just pulverized him into particles. After being hit, not even a single hair can be found. Even Impure World Reincarnation can't revive him... (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"

Sasori was once known as Sasori of the Red Sands. During the Shinobi World War, the puppets he created turned the sandy land of the Land of Wind red, thus earning him this title!

But for the first time in his decades-long reign over the Shinobi World, he felt death so close!

Even with his original body reduced to a small core, he was not immune to attacks at the molecular level.

However, just as the three people enveloped in Dust Release were in despair, a spatial vortex appeared in the barrier.

The next moment, the Masked Man appeared!
