The attack that nearly killed Mahoraga was fueled by almost all of their chakra.
Even the chakra of the Isobu was drained.
They could only watch helplessly as Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru fought over kills.
"It's not too late!"
"We must retrieve Mahoraga's corpse!!"
Sasori roared and, relying on his willpower, forcibly extracted some chakra, controlling the Third Kazekage Human Puppet to fly away.
After that attack, his giant puppet was reduced to 99% junk. If he couldn't get Mahoraga's corpse, he would have nothing left!
But no one responded to him.
Everyone was plunged into a deep sense of loss.
Especially Kakuzu.
His dark green pupils were dilated, and he seemed lost in thought, utterly lifeless.
As the waterspout subsided, Orochimaru waited to reap the benefits of Mahoraga's corpse.
He was quite certain that they had killed Mahoraga, a monster powerful enough to rival the Nine-Tails!
The rain poured down, leaving the devastated earth completely empty.
The Mahoraga is a product of the Kagami Uchiha Cursed Technique, so naturally there is no such thing as a corpse.
What Scorpion wanted never existed in the first place.
It was Kakuzu who suffered.
"That wasn't a physical monster, or did Kagami-kun take it back?"
Orochimaru muttered to himself, not particularly disappointed.
A five billion dollar research grant and an extra reward is already quite generous.
Turning around, Orochimaru saw Sasori, with an Orochimaru, approaching on Human Puppet, and grinned.
"Blinded by anger, Sasori of the Red Sands?"
The serpentine chakra transformed into countless small snakes, shooting out.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
A series of explosions engulfed the scorpion in smoke.
"Even without Mahoraga, I'm still very interested in your body. Let's capture it and study it."
Orochimaru has a strong curiosity about all kinds of Ninjutsu, and he also wants the technology of Human Puppet.
Suddenly...
Boom!!
The earth roared tremendously.
Roar!!!
The roar of the Gyuki echoed throughout!
The violent air currents could be felt even from a great distance as a massive bull-headed, octopus-legged monster roared to the sky.
Then, its entire body was enveloped by octopus tentacles and began to rotate.
Sand and stones flew everywhere, and giant trees were uprooted.
A terrifying tornado leveled the last remaining patch of forest!
Orochimaru and the others had no choice but to halt their offensive and employ their respective defensive techniques.
"Very impressive power."
In the distance, atop the strange bird were Nagato and his companions.
After training Kinkaku and Ginkaku to become the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato gained a clearer understanding of the chakra of the Tailed Beast.
This is only a portion of the Nine-Tails Chakra.
In the Rinnegan's field of vision, the Eight-Tails' chakra was far greater than the Nine-Tails Chakra he possessed.
If we could collect nine Tailed Beast like these, we could bring down the mythical Ten-Tails...
I am absolutely certain that I can obtain power surpassing that of Kagami Uchiha!
The strange bird flapped its wings and flew towards the direction of the Eight-Tails.
Nagato originally wanted to find a team with the Lei Tu, as they had at least three Tailed Beasts.
This martial arts competition brought together most of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, and Nagato dared not go too far, fearing that Uchiha Kagami would discover something amiss.
But given that the Land of Rain lacks Tailed Beast, it shouldn't arouse suspicion if they want to capture an Eight-Tails beast to raise.
Let's focus on dealing with the more difficult Eight-Tails first, and consider the others later.
Ideally, we should have the opportunity to capture them all at once.
I wonder if Kinkaku and Ginkaku have enough chakra. If not...
In that case, war with Konoha will be inevitable.
Nagato will no longer expect to achieve his goals through conversation.
Kakuzu was still quite determined.
The final blow represents 5 billion, and this was after he painstakingly defeated a boss with only a sliver of health.
If a normal person were robbed, they would probably go crazy, or act like a scorpion.
His Earth Grudge Fear tentacles entangled the scorpion that was still trying to charge, and he coldly shouted, "Calm down, failure is failure. You look terrible right now."
"What do you know?!"
Scorpion made more expressions today than in the previous ten years combined.
"You didn't lose anything, but do you know what I lost?!"
Especially...
Especially since it's made of white hair!
The first thing Scorpion hates in his life is people with white hair.
The second most annoying type is the guy with Red Eye.
Now, a white-haired, Red Eye guy has suddenly appeared and stolen what he had painstakingly planned and paid a huge price for.
Given this resentment and the huge psychological gap, it's a miracle he hasn't gone insane yet; he's already emotionally stable.
"How could I not have suffered any losses?"
Kakuzu's voice was low and deep. "You should understand what a loss of five billion means to me."
"But..."
"Even when I was treated so cruelly by Kagami Uchiha, I did not give up on myself."
Scorpion's expression froze.
Having been partners for many years, he knew Kakuzu's 'money-first' mentality all too well.
Kakuzu...
How can you tolerate something like this?!
"I see..."
Scorpion took a deep breath, even though he no longer needed to breathe.
"Kakuzu- san, you are a true ninja. I have learned from you."
"No matter what difficulties I face, I will remain calm. I lost my composure."
Kakuzu nodded, indicating that he was a promising young man.
A hand behind her was pinching her tender waist tightly.
I only managed to stay awake by the pain.
As the tornado expanded, the group discovered a strange bird moving in the opposite direction, and Nagato and others standing on it.
"Leader... are we going to capture the Eight-Tails?"
Sasori whispered as he returned to Kakuzu's side.
Kakuzu frowned slightly. "Isn't it too early? Wouldn't that expose our organization's purpose?"
"... Let's wait and see. With the leader's strength, he shouldn't need our help."
"In my long life, there are only two people whose strength surpasses his."
——
The range of the Tailed Beast Eight Twists was so vast that it shattered all of Shisui's Shadow Clone.
When the tornado stopped, the Shisui seeped out from the soil on the spiral-shaped earth, looking somewhat dusty and dirty.
Swish.
A white-haired woman wearing Konoha Jonin vest appeared beside her.
Ryuzetsu didn't speak, but placed his hands on Shisui's body and performed the Mystical Palm Technique.
Shisui frowned.
"Are all the last few markers I left gone?"
Shisui had considered using the Flying Thunder God to retreat first, but after sensing several Flying Thunder God Mark, he couldn't find them.
The destructive rampage of the Mahoraga, along with battles with other powerful figures.
This arena, large enough to accommodate thousands of ninjas in battle, seemed cramped.
Ryuzetsu shook his head and said, "I'm the only one left. I was almost hit by Ninjutsu from other battlefields, so I had no choice but to come here."
"Okay, then don't leave my side."
Shisui had already instructed Ryuzetsu to come to his side if she felt there was danger.
He could handle these powerful figures with her by his side, but if she were caught alone, she would be finished.
No matter what, I won't die.
He believed that his brother would be watching him closely, and that if a fatal situation arose, his brother would definitely intervene.
Wrong...
There is another possibility.
Shisui's mind raced, and he remembered the Ryuzetsu's inherited technique.
Old Brother, you wouldn't kill me once and then have Ryuzetsu resurrect me, would you?
Probably not. My Old Brother said that Mangekyo's advancement doesn't necessarily require something tragic or dramatic...
Shisui, with mixed feelings, stopped Ryuzetsu's treatment.
He gripped the Ryuzetsu tightly, his voice low, and emphasized once again.
"You can't leave me."
"Oh."
Ryuzetsu responded calmly, without the shyness of a young girl.
Shisui is her family, so this action is perfectly reasonable.
