The Power of the Six Kage Joining Forces!
Shiyu had initially thought that the black-clad man's face was obscured within the Genjutsu Scroll due to a problem with the scroll itself, but now Shiyu was certain.
The face of the person in front of me was completely distorted and empty; even with my senses, I could only perceive its emptiness.
"Fellow Shadows, I've only come to see you all; there's nothing else. Also, I'd like to ask you a question."
"Who's going to answer you! You inexplicable idiot!" The Fourth Raikage, with his extremely volatile temper, smashed the entire conference table with a single punch, sending everything tumbling to the floor.
The mysterious figure named Xu had turned upside down and was standing on the ceiling.
"Hehehe! Don't be so violent! Am I really that annoying to ninjas?" Xu said with a wicked smile, his laughter gradually revealing his ill intentions.
"Wood Release: All Things in the Forest!" Shiyu frowned, opened one hand, and summoned countless branches and vines that instantly immobilized the Hollow's body.
"This is Wood Release!?" The Third Hokage looked at Shiyu in surprise, then at Hollow, confirming that it was his teacher's Wood Release.
"Shiyu, you've already surpassed the First?" The Third Generation remarked with some emotion.
The surrounding shadows were all amazed; Shiyu casually unleashed Wood Release, and no one even saw the Shiyu Hand Seals.
However, Shiyu was somewhat surprised.
When the Wood Release vines absorbed the Hollow's chakra and stamina, they were stopped by a mysterious force emitting white light.
"Haha! The ability to control trees? No, according to you, it should be called the Yang Release Kekkei Genkai, right?" Utsuro said with a laugh, seemingly without any concern for his situation.
"It seems Wood Release can't absorb him. The power on his body must be that kind of Divine Power again." Before Shiyu could say anything more, Uchiha Itachi had already stared intently at the Hollow. Then, one of Itachi's eyes instantly became bloodshot and began to bleed.
"Amaterasu!"
Then, a huge ball of flame instantly rose from Hollow's body. Itachi continued to unleash Amaterasu, Amaterasu flames not only engulfed Hollow's body but also set Shiyu's Wood Release ablaze.
"This is... the Amaterasu Flame of the Mangekyō Sharingan. It seems that some of the Mangekyo users of the Uchiha Clan once possessed this ability. Itachi has grown to this level as well," Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered.
"What? So weak? I haven't even had a chance to make a move yet!" Raikage said with a hint of disdain.
No sooner had the Raikage finished speaking than a chilling laugh rang out once more.
"Hahaha! Then you can make your move!" Hollow suddenly appeared behind the Raikage and Raikage guards, at which point the Raikage's guards immediately sprang into action.
"Lava Release: Protective Jade!" Dodai with incredible speed, instantly using Ninjutsu to completely envelop the Hollow's body.
Before Darui could even use his Ninjutsu, the Fourth Raikage had already covered his body with Lightning Release chakra and charged towards the rubber ball on the Dodai at the speed of Blue Lightning, shouting, "Heavy Stone Bullet!"
The Raikage's elbow strike sent the entire rubber ball flying, demonstrating just how powerful it was.
After the rubber ball shattered, the void inside was driven deep into the wall.
"And I'll be there too! Magnet Release: Gold Dust Coffin Binding!" The Fourth Kazekage Rasa, used Gold Dust to firmly lock the Hollow in place.
"Coral Palm!!" Yagura rushed over and punched Hollow in the abdomen, instantly causing a giant coral to grow from Hollow's abdomen.
Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!
"Wind Release: Cyclone!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi combined two Ninjutsu of different attributes into a composite Ninjutsu, which ultimately hit the Hollow perfectly.
"Ha! That's incredibly strong! As expected! This is the pinnacle of ninja skill!? This is so exhilarating! Hahaha!! Give me more!"
An ordinary ninja would have died long ago after being hit by so many attacks, but the white seal on Hollow's body kept emitting light. Although it was slowly diminishing, it was protecting Hollow from harm.
Only Shiyu could see the entire venue.
"Although I don't know what your purpose is, with me here, you won't succeed!"
"Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique!" The Tsuchikage suddenly sprang up, then suddenly twisted his back.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! This is so embarrassing!"
"Alas, both the Kitsuchi and the Akatsuchi patted their foreheads and faces, expressing considerable helplessness."
Xu laughed and said, "You're already this old? You should have died long ago! You're still a ninja kage? I think you're unworthy of the title! Haha!"
"Excuse me, although I am old, as a Kage, I am unworthy of the title, and I do not approve of it." The Tsuchikage had already used flight to arrive in front of the Hollow, put his hands together, and then opened a cube-shaped transparent barrier between Tsuchikage palms. The barrier was like a piece of glass, emitting a dazzling light from the inside, and in an instant, the cube-shaped barrier completely enveloped the Hollow's body.
"Dust Release: World Boundary Severing Technique!" Ōnoki floated in the air and said with a serious expression.
Immediately following, a massive explosion occurred inside the barrier, and the Hollow's body was completely decomposed into atoms and vanished.
"The Six Kage joining forces truly lives up to their reputation! Such a powerful enemy! Yet they were taken down so easily!" Mifune had intended to make a move, but seeing the Six Kage's spectacular attack, he was momentarily distracted and ultimately did not move.
"I can still sense this guy's presence," Qing, being a perception-type, immediately said.
Despite using her Byakugan, Kurenai was unable to locate the Void's position. Looking at Shiyu, Kurenai felt somewhat worried.
"Kurenai, focus. Our duty is to protect the Lord Third. We can talk about other things later." Kakashi was also very cautious, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
"Still alive? Under the old man's Dust Release? That seems unlikely, doesn't it?" Kitsuchi was also somewhat incredulous.
"Anything is possible. Because we are facing an unknown enemy with strange powers," Mei Terumi said.
"Shisui? Have you sensed the enemy?" Itachi asked.
"No. Shisui and Itachi both activated their Three Tomoe Sharingan, but they didn't spot any Hollows."
Shiyu's attention was extremely focused, and his perception completely enveloped the entire room, so that no slightest movement could escape Shiyu detection.
"Hehe! Since you don't welcome me, I'll just talk to you this way. Whether you want to listen or not, I'll convey Ban's message."
No matter how hard the Five Kage and Five Kage subordinates searched, they could not find the location of the Hollow.
Then Hollow's voice rang out again. "Madara said, hand over the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails, and I'll spare your lives; otherwise, the entire Shinobi World will return to the Warring States period!"
"Now tell me your answer! Hehehe!" The voice remained ethereal and eerie, but no one could find the figure of the Void.
Without a second thought, Shiyu immediately replied, "I refuse."
He initiated this meeting, and there's absolutely no way he'd hand over the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails.
