Boom!!!
Under the impact of this immense aura, the wooden table between Uchiha Mirai and A actually shattered from the middle, turning into countless dust particles that scattered in all directions.
The Cloud Ninja behind A almost simultaneously drew their Ninja Blade from their backs, their eyes filled with murderous intent as they glared maliciously at Uchiha Mirai.
They were all elite ninjas handpicked by A from Kumogakure. Not only were they incredibly strong, but most importantly, they possessed the courage to face death and an intense hatred for the Uchiha Mirai, a world teeming with corpses!
"Retreat!"
With his enemy right in front of him, A made an unexpected decision: instead of ordering the ninjas behind him to attack, he shouted for them to retreat.
The dozen or so Cloud Ninja retreated simultaneously with a whoosh, moving far away from Uchiha Mirai.
Almost simultaneously, the walls surrounding the inn burst open with a deafening roar, instantly revealing the Cloud Ninja hidden within.
"Hand Seals!"
The Cloud Ninja roared in unison, their dense Chakra surging forth as lightning, instantly converging on Uchiha Mirai in the center, pinning him firmly to the spot.
A terrifying pillar of lightning pierced through the hotel's roof, transforming into a pale blue hemispherical light barrier that enveloped Uchiha Mirai.
Because of A's earlier command, all the Cloud Ninja in the inn had retreated outside the barrier, and immediately rushed to the rear to transfer Chakra as the barrier formed.
With the support of this massive amount of Chakra, the strength of the barrier suddenly increased, and blue lightning arcs continuously flickered on the pale blue light membrane.
Hahahaha!
Seeing that the barrier was complete, Uchiha Mirai was trapped inside.
Ai finally burst into hearty laughter.
"Didn't expect that, did you? I never intended to fight you head-on. My goal was to trap you with barriers and Sealing Jutsu!"
Thunder Prison Seal!
The strongest sealing barrier in Kumogakure!
Even the Eight-Tails would have almost no chance of breaking through this barrier.
However, even such a powerful Sealing Jutsu has a weakness.
It requires a huge supply of Chakra, and there will be a relatively large gap when the barrier is activated.
The sneer in Ai's eyes deepened.
This weakness no longer exists.
Uchiha Mirai paid a heavy price for her arrogance.
If he had reacted quickly enough when the barrier was first activated and attacked from the weakest point, the outcome might have been very different.
Unfortunately... there are no "what ifs" in this world.
"Give up the resistance! This barrier has been specially modified for you, greatly suppressing Chakra flow. Hmph, if you beg for mercy, maybe I'll grant you a quick death!"
Ai now feels a sense of satisfaction, as if she has finally gotten her revenge.
The look in his eyes Uchiha Mirai grew increasingly hostile.
The current Uchiha Mirai like a caged bird, a fish on a chopping board, posing no threat to him whatsoever.
Inside the barrier, Uchiha Mirai remained seated in the same chair, her expression unchanged.
Such a drastic change did not stir the slightest ripple in his expression, which was as still as a deep pool.
He attempted to manipulate the flow of Chakra within his body.
Really.
Just as Ai said.
His Chakra flow was suppressed to an extreme degree. If he were an ordinary Kage Level ninja, his strength would probably be reduced by more than half, and he wouldn't even be able to use many Ninjutsu.
"Did you find it?"
Noticing the movement of Uchiha Mirai within the barrier, Ai's brow twitched, and he grinned coldly.
"What? Are you going to beg for mercy?"
His hatred, the hatred of Kumogakure, could finally be avenged at this moment!
He was met with a soft, sarcastic laugh.
"That's incredibly stupid."
"What?"
Ai's expression froze.
"I say, you're really stupid."
Inside the barrier, Uchiha Mirai, seemingly worried that A hadn't heard her clearly, chuckled and repeated the sentence.
This time Ai heard clearly, gritted her teeth, and spoke coldly.
"You don't seem to understand the situation yet, do you think things are the same as before? With this barrier in place, what do you have to fight us with?"
"Then what?"
"Will I just grow old and die inside this barrier?"
Ai was speechless for a moment.
They truly lack the means to make a final decision.
"You think you can trap me with just a mere barrier?"
Uchiha Mirai sneered and stretched out her palm.
"You actually dare to dream of breaking the barrier? Don't waste your energy; even the Eight-Tails couldn't..."
Ai's voice stopped abruptly, like a chick being choked and lifted up, its eyes widening in horror as if it had seen a ghost.
The outstretched hand of Uchiha Mirai was no longer its original form; it had transformed into a massive gray-brown claw with ancient, weathered lines resembling withered tree bark.
Compared to that giant claw, Uchiha Mirai's body was practically that of a dwarf.
Under the kneading of that giant claw, the sturdy barrier began to take on various shapes.
Ai's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a human head, and the expressions of the Cloud Ninja maintaining the barrier changed drastically.
Bang!
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The Barrier Ninjutsu that Ai had placed high hopes on burst open like a water sphere under extreme pressure, shattering into countless tiny fragments.
Pfft!!
The Cloud Ninja was maintaining the barrier coughed up a mouthful of blood and turned deathly pale due to the massive backlash from the barrier's shattering.
"Damn it! How is this possible! What kind of monster are you?!"
Ai's eyes were bulging with rage.
One hand crushed the barrier set up Jonin more than a dozen Jonin?
Is the Uchiha Mirai still human?
"Now, we should be able to finalize the agreement, right?"
Uchiha Mirai twisted her neck, making cracking sounds, and walked towards the Cloud Ninja opposite her.
Don't come any closer!!!
The Cloud Ninja were terrified at the mere mention of his name, so frightened they wet themselves in fear; they had no courage left to fight.
Ai gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and roared angrily at the sky.
Orochimaru! What are you waiting for?!
Meanwhile, in the cave behind Windmill Town.
Orochimaru gazed at the enormous entity within the glass container before him, his golden snake eyes blazing with unprecedented fervor.
That fervor even contained a hint of worship.
"From snake to dragon, from mortal to god, I have finally succeeded!"
His hoarse voice trembled slightly.
Only Orochimaru himself knew best how much effort he had put into the giant beast before him.
The Eight Branches Technique! Godzilla Cells! Ryūchi Cave Dragon Transformation Technique! Countless resources from Kumogakure)...
All of these elements, when combined, ultimately formed the crystallization before our eyes!
With Kabuto's trembling gaze watching from the side, Orochimaru's body in the wheelchair began to disintegrate, and countless tiny white snakes slithered out of his body, passing through specially designed holes in the glass container and burrowing into the body of the giant beast.
The enormous creature's eyelids twitched slightly.
The next second!
The giant beast suddenly opened its eyes!
Whoosh!
The enormous, sky-covering wings suddenly unfurled, shattering the sturdy glass container with a deafening crash, sending countless fragments scattering in all directions.
The giant beast flapped its wings and, to Dou Zhenshi's horrified gaze, broke free of the mountaintop's restraints and soared into the sky.
King Ghidorah has arrived!
