A Loud Noise Rang Out in the Sky

This was a metaphor, but the reality wasn't far off.

The attack felt like it landed directly on them, making their Chakra feel like it was about to scatter.

Fortunately, they were all elite, carefully selected ninjas, their ninja skills unquestionable. Even in this situation, their Chakra flow remained uninterrupted.

But the problem was, given the barrier's current state, it likely wouldn't withstand a second slap from the headless giant corpse.

"Quick, open a hole in the barrier, I'll pull it out!"

At this critical moment, the Black Shadow Jinchuriki spoke.

Hearing that the Black Shadow Jinchuriki had a plan, the Third Hokage quickly gave the order. "Quick, do as he says!"

Below the barrier, a fist-sized hole immediately appeared, then expanded to the size of a bowl.

"No need to enlarge it further, this is enough."

A black shadow extended into the barrier through the opening, then gradually expanded until it enveloped the entire headless giant corpse.

Then, the black shadow withdrew from the barrier, and the barrier returned to its original state.

The Black Shadow Jinchuriki, who had swallowed the giant corpse, was not doing well either. The face beneath his mask shifted in color from time to time, as if he had suffered some kind of attack.

"I can't hold on any longer, I'm going to let this thing out!"

To say "let it out" was inaccurate; it was more like the headless giant corpse was tearing through the shadow space from the inside, breaking free.

On the empty grass, a massive black "egg" suddenly appeared.

It then began to distort, as if something was moving inside.

The black giant "egg" was torn apart and gradually dissipated, and the headless giant corpse emerged!

The freed headless giant corpse showed no signs of celebration, merely walking towards the nearest person.

No one present genuinely believed it was just going over to say hello.

Meanwhile, in Konoha, at the Hyuga Clan Compound. Hinata was also in trouble.

She... had also been targeted by this rope.

At dusk, the moment the rope appeared, Hinata had already noticed it.

Perhaps it was a common trait of these bizarre creatures; the Black Shadow from two months ago and this rope that appeared now both fixed their gaze on Hinata from several kilometers away the moment she saw them.

When the rope pulled those ninjas into subspace, it coincidentally pulled Hinata in as well.

After being pulled into subspace, Hinata didn't feel any significant discomfort in her body.

Except for the endless ropes floating in the sky that sent a chill down Hinata's neck...

Pulled into subspace, Hinata instinctively tried to find a way to escape.

But since this bizarre creature had targeted her, running away wasn't the solution.

At the same time, Hinata saw the other ninjas who had been pulled in with her.

However, due to Hinata's small stature and ability to hide, they hadn't noticed her.

Additionally, Hinata noticed that several of the ninjas were missing.

Perhaps due to the sudden spatial transition, they had panicked and failed to dodge the bizarre creature's first wave of attacks.

Looking at the several headless corpses in black lying on the ground, Hinata made this assumption.

However, judging by the remaining ninjas, they wouldn't die anytime soon.

While the rope was incredibly troublesome, any ordinary person would likely be dead by now. But ninjas were different; they were adept at using various transformation techniques, substitution jutsu, and body flicker techniques.

Perhaps the dire situation made them forget that they could simply lie down to avoid the rope...

However, even if they lay down, they might not be entirely safe.

Hinata keenly sensed that after these people appeared in this subspace, the corpses on the ground suddenly "came alive"!

This caused Hinata, who had deliberately avoided looking at the corpses since entering the subspace, to turn pale and nearly vomit.

Her Byakugan, while not yet as powerful as a microscope, could achieve the magnification of a 100x lens.

This meant she could see the state of those corpses... with perfect clarity.

Just as Hinata was contemplating whether she should smash the corpses into pieces, she saw someone stealthily sneak into the subspace, take a look, and then leave.

Hinata: "???"

What was the meaning of that? Just take a look and leave?

While Hinata was complaining, the figure who had turned into a shadow returned.

This time, he spread out his shadow space, attempting to shake this subspace.

Hinata suspected this guy might have a misunderstanding of his own abilities. Could his small puddle of shadow really shake such a large subspace?

But this was a good opportunity!

Inch-Punch: Shockwave!

Hinata punched a weak spot in the subspace, causing a corner of it to collapse.

Fortunately, the guy who had infiltrated like a shadow had quick reflexes and immediately wrapped the survivors in his shadow, taking them away.

The ropes and some corpses from the collapsed corner of the subspace fell into the outside world.

Perhaps due to the damage to a corner of the subspace, the entire subspace seemed to let out a mournful cry.

The entire subspace trembled, and even the ropes, which hadn't budged despite countless ninjutsu attacks, began to sway with the subspace's tremors.

Seeing this, Hinata dared not make any rash moves, afraid that a single mistake would destroy the subspace.

It wouldn't be a big deal if the subspace was gone, but who knew where she would be thrown if the subspace collapsed.

This was the best-case scenario. If she were unlucky, Hinata might experience being torn apart by space...

The subspace's trembling continued until the collapsed corner healed.

As soon as the ropes dangling from the sky stopped swaying, they snaked towards Hinata's rosy neck, as if her neck possessed an immense attraction. (Pervert!)

Hinata's neck felt a chill again.

Even more terrifying was that during the subspace's trembling, the corpses on the ground had already stood up.

Inch-Punch: Thunderbolt!

The encroaching corpses were instantly blasted away by a terrifying shockwave emanating from Hinata in a circular pattern.

When the shockwave hit the corpses, it had already pulverized their insides, and as they flew out, their already meager, viscous blood splattered along the way.

Although one wave of corpses was repelled, these dozen or so bodies were only a little more than half of the total in the subspace. The rest continued to charge towards Hinata.

The surrounding horrific corpses didn't trouble Hinata, but the ropes hanging from mid-air, which swayed slightly due to Inch-Punch: Thunderbolt, concerned her more.

This made Hinata realize that energy attacks like Chakra weren't nonexistent, but rather the ropes were too "heavy" for ordinary ninjutsu to affect!

In other words, the energy composing these bizarre creatures was of a very high magnitude, making them difficult to damage with low-level energy.

This even applied to the True Qi refined from Nature Energy within Hinata!
