Chasing and Killing

Screams of panic and cries of anguish rose one after another. Inside the Mizukage's office building, the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, had just ordered the activation of the highest-level barrier nationwide when it was completely shattered by a pitch-black sword energy unleashed by the Susanoo Armor.

The sword energy didn't harm anyone, but it precisely struck the core of the barrier, instantly dismantling the barrier system that the Land of Water had spent centuries constructing.

Genki's cold voice emanated from the Susanoo's brow, piercing through all the sounds of panic. "Obito Uchiha, come out."

The voice, carrying the power of spatial distortion, echoed throughout the Land of Water, but received no response.

Only countless terrified gazes were fixed on the terrifying giant silhouette, awaiting the arrival of doomsday.

"It seems you're not here," Genki's tone was devoid of any emotion, as if he had already foreseen this outcome. But this did not affect his resolve to cleanse this sinful land. "If that's the case, the Land of Water... has no reason to exist anymore."

As his voice fell, the pitch-black Susanoo Armor slowly raised its giant hand, a dense, extreme pitch-black energy gathering in its palm.

The energy spun rapidly, forming a continuously expanding black hole. The space around the black hole completely distorted and collapsed. Countless tiny spatial rifts rotated around the black hole, emitting a terrifying suction force that devoured everything.

"No--!!"

The Fourth Mizukage let out a desperate roar, controlling the power of the Three-Tails and charging towards the Susanoo. Countless ninjas also exerted all their strength to launch attacks.

But these attacks, in the face of the black hole's suction, were instantly devoured like dust, with no chance to even get close to the Susanoo.

"Annihilate."

Genki gently raised his hand, and the black hole in the Susanoo's palm suddenly expanded, pressing down fiercely towards the Land of Water below.

The moment the black hole touched the ground, a roar that shook the ninja world erupted. The entire island of the Land of Water began to rapidly disintegrate. Land, buildings, living beings, and seawater were all forcibly pulled and devoured by the black hole.

Countless terrified souls, the moment they left their bodies, were instantly refined by the energy emanating from the Susanoo's surface, becoming a part of Genki's power.

In just a few breaths, the once prosperous Land of Water, along with the surrounding sea, was completely swallowed by the black hole.

All that remained in its place was a void of distorted space, with no trace of life, and even the imprint of the land's existence was completely erased.

The pitch-black Susanoo Armor slowly retracted the black hole. Genki's gaze swept over the void, confirming that he couldn't sense any trace of Obito. He then controlled the Susanoo to turn and fly towards the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain was an active area for the Akatsuki Organization and one of the most likely places for Obito to hide.

Meanwhile, the other three major nations of the ninja world – the Land of Wind, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Earth – had already fallen into unprecedented panic due to the disturbances of the previous night.

In the Land of Wind, within the Kazekage's office building, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, stood solemnly before a sand table. The area of the Land of Fire on the sand table was completely covered in red markings. The high-ranking ninjas around him had pale faces, and their discussions were filled with barely concealed fear.

"According to the reports from the reconnaissance ninjas, the Land of Fire... is completely gone," an elder said with a trembling voice. "The entire Land of Fire has sunk into the earth's core, becoming a ruin. Millions of people... not a single survivor."

"Who did this?!" Rasa's voice was filled with suppressed rage and panic. "Was it some hidden ninjutsu genius? Or a runaway Tailed Beast-level existence?"

"We don't know, but based on the residual energy reactions, that power far surpasses the conventional Kage-level, and even... surpasses the power of the legendary Sage of Six Paths!"

Another ninja added, "Just now, reconnaissance ninjas sent an urgent report. The same terrifying energy appeared in the direction of the Land of Water. Now... the signal from the Land of Water has completely disappeared!"

"What?!" Rasa clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms. "Even the Land of Water... Then, will our Land of Wind be next?!"

In the Land of Lightning, within the Kumogakure conference room, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, slammed his fist on the table in front of him, roaring, "No matter who it is, daring to destroy a country so recklessly is an act of hostility towards our Kumogakure! Immediately gather all elite ninjas, activate the Lightning Release barrier, and prepare for battle!"

"Raikage-sama, no!" Killer B, who was beside him, quickly advised, "That power is too terrifying. The Land of Fire and the Land of Water didn't even have a chance to resist. If we rashly attack, we will only lead the Land of Lightning to destruction!"

In the Land of Earth, within the Tsuchikage's office building, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, sat in his seat, his brows furrowed, the Earth Release chakra around him constantly fluctuating. "To be able to destroy two great nations... this kind of power is beyond what any of our nations can contend with."

He said gravely, "Immediately close all borders, activate the Earth Release fortress, and simultaneously send an emergency communication to the other countries, proposing the formation of a joint ninja world army. Otherwise... the entire ninja world will be finished!"

The entire ninja world, due to Genki's destructive actions, had completely fallen into turmoil.

The highest echelons of each country understood that a terrifying existence capable of overturning the entire order of the ninja world had arrived. If they did not unite and resist, they would face the same fate as the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.

And at this moment, Genki was controlling the pitch-black Susanoo Armor, speeding towards the Land of Rain. His eyes had only one goal – to find Obito Uchiha, and then, to completely cleanse this sinful land.

The silhouette of the pitch-black Susanoo Armor sliced through the sky. After crossing thousands of miles, it finally arrived above the Land of Rain.

This place was perpetually shrouded in continuous rain. Cold raindrops fell incessantly, washing away the mud and bloodstains on the streets, and casting a gloomy shadow over this land of perpetual warfare.

But the moment the sky-obscuring figure of the Susanoo Armor descended, the rain in the sky and on the earth abruptly stopped in mid-air. Countless raindrops hung suspended in the air, trembling slightly from the terrifying energy emanating from the Susanoo's surface, unable to fall even a single bit further.

The civilians and ninjas of the Land of Rain had just noticed the anomaly in the sky. The moment they looked up, they were terrified to their souls by the giant silhouette, completely black, with wings of spatial rifts.

Before the desperate cries could fully erupt, Genki's cold voice pierced through the clouds, resounding throughout the entire Land of Rain: "Obito Uchiha, this time, you have nowhere to run."

Before his voice even finished, Genki controlled the pitch-black Susanoo Armor and slowly raised its giant hand. There was no complex energy gathering, nor any flashy move brewing. Only a faint pitch-black halo lingered on the giant hand, yet it carried a terrifying power capable of reshaping the land and annihilating everything.

As Genki's will moved, the giant hand pressed down gently towards the land of the Land of Rain below.
