Yakushi Kabuto Makes His Move, Third Raikage!

The encirclement by the Hidden Stone Ninja became increasingly tight.

The cliffs and stone houses in the surrounding area were already filled with people. Every Hidden Stone Ninja was ready for battle, quietly waiting for the Tsuchikage's orders.

"There's no way to escape now..."

Kurotsuchi, the granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage, stood beside Huang Tu and quietly asked her father, "Why doesn't the other side seem afraid at all?"

"..."

Huang Tu's expression was somewhat strange.

Because he had more information than his daughter.

Although the ninjas of Hidden Stone Village have now surrounded Shirou Emiya, how could he be a coward who once defeated four Hokage of Konoha?

Be careful.

Huang Tu patted his daughter's head, looked at the Third Tsuchikage who was catching up with Shirou Emiya, and said in a deep voice, "There might be a fierce battle today..."

Once war breaks out...

Hidden Stone Village may not have gained any advantage.

The third generation of Ōnoki was also very clear about this issue.

Even though Shirou Emiya brazenly invaded Hidden Stone Village, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, still hoped that they could separate peacefully, even at the cost of the Tsuchikage's dignity.

"If Lord Shirou is willing to return our village's ninja, Hidden Stone Village will continue to respect you out of Lord Shirou for past favors..."

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, did not want to Shirou Emiya, and his words clearly provoked opposition from many Hidden Stone Ninja.

"Lord Tsuchikage!"

"How can we let him get away with this!"

"Lord Tsuchikage, the enemy is an invading force. Even if they are a great figure from Ancient Era, we cannot let them go so easily..."

"Shut up, all of you!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, sternly rebuked his subordinates. The short old man exuded the majesty of the Tsuchikage, but when his gaze fell on Shirou Emiya, it clearly held a hint of expectation, as if he hoped that the two sides could truly achieve peace.

"Lord Shirou..."

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, wanted to ask a few more questions.

However...

Shirou Emiya simply waved his hand, his brow furrowing slightly. "I don't want to become enemies with old acquaintances either, but if you want me to release the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, shouldn't I ask for the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's opinion first...?"

"???"

A string of question marks appeared above the head of the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki.

What's the meaning?

Asking for the opinion of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki?

What could Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han, possibly have to say?

Could it be...?

Was Han killed?

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, subconsciously looked at the man in tattered, bright red armor lying in front of Shirou Emiya, wanting to check on the condition of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!

"Escape..."

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki uttered a single word.

"What?"

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, didn't hear clearly.

"Quick... run away..."

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki's eyes were filled with fear. He sensed the terrifying Chakra emanating from Shirou Emiya when he was suppressed by him with one hand!

This man...

A person who shouldn't exist in the Shinobi World!

As a Five-Tails Jinchuriki personally experienced the Shinobi World War, Han fought against many powerful Shinobi World, including Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze Konoha, and the Third Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village, who was hailed as the strongest Third Raikage in history...

But...

They are all far inferior to Shirou Emiya!

The terrifying pressure of Chakra pressed down on him like the sky collapsing, leaving him completely powerless to move. Even the Five-Tails, Mukō within him was terrified of that Chakra!

"Don't worry about me! Run!"

Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han, shouted with all his might!

This Five-Tails Jinchuriki had witnessed the carnage when tens of thousands of Hidden Stone Village ninja surrounded and killed the Third Raikage. So what about Chakra Shirou Emiya, whose chakra pressure even terrified the Tailed Beast?

Same...

Shirou Emiya's abilities are also very strange.

The opponent appeared in Hidden Stone Village out of nowhere and then strangely used Space-Time Ninjutsu to defeat himself, which means that the opponent can also leave the battlefield at any time!

Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han with rich combat experience, knew very well that the Hidden Stone Village ninjas had no chance of successfully besieging and killing Shirou Emiya. Everything they did would be in vain, and there was no need to sacrifice themselves for him at this time!

This was Han's most sober judgment!

Any ninja from Hidden Stone Village would be prepared to sacrifice themselves at this time in order to prevent the village from suffering a major loss!

As for the claim that Shirou Emiya didn't want to start a war...

Han didn't believe that such a powerful man would choose to negotiate!

"!!!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, was deeply shaken.

As the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, inherited the will of his respective village, Ōnoki could be said to have watched the Five-Tails Jinchuriki grow up and personally nurtured a qualified weapon of war. He understood Han's character very well.

This guy...

I never speak without a purpose!

From childhood, Han should have known he was a precious asset that Hidden Stone Village would never relinquish, a fact he understood even more clearly than Roshi, the Four Tails Jinchuriki. Yet, this man allowed them to escape at this crucial moment...

He disagrees.

Shirou Emiya sighed, a hint of regret on his face. "It seems we can't reach an agreement..."

"Now..."

"It seems like fighting is all we have left."

Shirou Emiya's voice turned serious as he earnestly asked the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, "Before the battle, I want to ask you a question..."

"..."

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, suddenly began to sweat.

Atmosphere...

Suddenly, I tensed up.

Every Hidden Stone Ninja felt an impending pressure, and involuntarily gripped their Kunai and Ninja Blade.

"What's the problem..."

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, still asked the question instinctively.

"Um..."

Shirou Emiya's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of his Wheelchair as he frowned, pondering how to answer the question he had posed, "Would you rather live a painful life, or die a silent death?"

"After all..."

"My power is nothing to you..."

"That's a little too much."

"So I'm thinking..."

"If I want you to see the new world created by Akatsuki, shouldn't I choose some equally matched opponents for you...?"

"..."

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

"Hey, stop looking down on me!"

Kurotsuchi glared at Shirou Emiya with a furious expression and shouted at him, "I know you're in cahoots with Deidara! Even if you're as strong as Deidara, you still won't escape today!"

"Kurotsuchi!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, quickly called out to his granddaughter.

On the battlefield.

Anything can happen.

When Yakushi Kabuto heard Kurotsuchi shout at them, his Kakuzu twitched involuntarily. He wanted to mutter a few words to Shirou Emiya: "Do the people of Hidden Stone Village really think we're ninjas on the same level as Deidara?"

"Based on their understanding..."

"It's simply unimaginable how powerful Lord Shirou is."

"Lord Shirou..."

Yakushi Kabuto offered to do it himself, slowly raising his finger and smiling as he explained his thoughts, "Leave the rest to me."

"..."

Shirou Emiya waved his hand casually.

The next moment!

Yakushi Kabuto's face suddenly turned serious, and his hands quickly Hand Seals, instantly conjuring up crooked coffins in front of them!

All the coffins...

These are all his works from recent years!

Among them are quite a few powerful individuals at the Shadow level!

Certainly...

What shocked these Hidden Stone Ninja the most was undoubtedly Yakushi Kabuto Yakushi's most prized work, which was also the Hidden Stone Ninja's most feared opponent in the past!

Whoosh!

The first coffin lid quietly fell away!

A tall, muscular figure slowly emerged from the coffin. His blond hair was the first thing that caught everyone's eye. He was shirtless, revealing a scar, and his entire body crackled with Lightning Release Chakra.

The Third Raikage!

The Third Raikage, who once fought against ten thousand men single-handedly during the Shinobi World War!

In particular, the Third Raikage was not killed in that war, but died from exhaustion due to physical exhaustion and depletion of Chakra. However, the Hidden Stone Ninja will never forget the terror of him charging around unscrupulously in the army of tens of thousands of people!

To be honest...

Compared to Shirou Emiya, the Third Raikage's name instilled even greater fear in the Hidden Stone Ninja!

"The Third Raikage, A..."

A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki!

"That guy..."

Even if Kurotsuchi is incredibly brave, she had heard the story of the Raikage when she was a child, and she knew about the terrifying feats of this enemy who once fought against ten thousand men single-handedly!

"Now..."

"Your war can continue."

Yakushi Kabuto, seeing the Hidden Stone Ninja's expressions change, smiled and reminded them, "This Raikage will never tire, his Chakra will never run out, and you two could fight forever..."

"Until..."

"No one in Hidden Stone Village will stand up again."
