"Akatsuki Organization has already set its sights on the tailed beasts."
"We must move faster and seize more tailed beast chakra before Akatsuki does."
Uchiha Mu concealed the sharpness in his eyes, his tone calm and assured.
At that moment, the fused chakra of the Zero-Tails, One-Tail, and Three-Tails flowed quietly within him.
The immense foundation of the Super Kage level lay dormant in his body.
The composite chakra dominated by the darkness attribute was vast and weighty in nature, its power far surpassing the tailed beast fusion power of ordinary ninja.
His tailed beast fusion system had now gradually taken shape.
With every additional tailed beast, his combat strength would undergo another qualitative transformation.
"Understood."
Uchiha Izumi bowed as she accepted the order, her expression solemn.
"I will immediately organize everyone and reinforce the defenses of the Fortress of Space."
From that day onward, this Fortress of Space, capable of floating, concealing itself, and both attacking and defending, officially became the Void Organization's exclusive permanent base.
The members completely bid farewell to their unstable lives on the run.
Their morale fully united.
After the entire group rested for half a day, the travel plan was finalized.
For the Two-Tails operation, only Uchiha Izumi and three elite intelligence ninja would accompany him in secret.
Everyone else would remain behind to defend the fortress while investigating the locations of the other tailed beasts.
Four figures silently departed from the floating fortress, racing day and night across the border of the Land of Fire.
In just two days, they crossed a thousand li and successfully entered the Land of Lightning.
The terrain here was perilous, with endless mountain ranges and thunderclouds hanging overhead all year round.
Violent, restless Lightning Release chakra drifted through the air. This was the territory of the Hidden Cloud Village, one of the Five Great Hidden Villages.
"Lord Mu, ten li ahead is Hidden Cloud Village's outer alert zone. Beyond that lies the village barrier's coverage," the intelligence ninja reported cautiously in a low voice.
Uchiha Mu raised a hand for them to stop, and his scarlet Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated instantly.
His supreme powers of perception swept across the entire forest.
In an instant, they pierced through layer after layer of vegetation and camouflage. The next second, he precisely locked onto two streams of cold, decaying chakra carrying a faint scent of blood within his sensory range.
They were Akatsuki Organization's uniquely eerie chakra signatures.
"Someone got here first."
Before his words faded, two black figures slowly emerged from the depths of the forest, their auras icy and oppressive.
They were Akatsuki Organization's infamous immortal duo: Kakuzu and Hidan.
Hidan held a bloodstained triple-bladed scythe, his body covered in strange black curse markings.
Dark currents surged beneath his skin, while an extreme bloodthirsty frenzy hung on his face. His eyes brimmed with an obsession for sacrifice.
Beside him, Kakuzu's body was wrapped in black tendrils.
Stitch marks covered his skin.
Five hearts within him beat in alternation, chakra rising and falling in waves.
His endurance seemed endless, while his heavy offensive and defensive aura was suffocating.
The two had lurked here for a long time, finally waiting for Yugito Nii to be alone.
Just as they were preparing to capture her, the sound of wind tearing through the air came from nearby.
Two figures abruptly appeared not far from them.
The three sides faced off, and the air instantly froze. Battle was on the verge of erupting.
At that moment, Mu understood clearly that if he simply charged in, although he was strong, he would have no way to take the Two-Tails away if the other three joined forces.
So he simply activated the tailed beast chakra within his body.
Both men carried tailed beast chakra. When the Two-Tails sensed the aura of other tailed beasts, it instantly went berserk.
The next moment, a column of crimson-blue flames suddenly exploded into the sky!
Scorching, violent Fire Release chakra swept in all directions.
The intense heat directly warped the surrounding air, while the terrifying pressure of a tailed beast tore through the clouds and blanketed the entire village.
The Two-Tails, Matatabi, had completely transformed into its tailed beast form! It madly smashed the trees around it, trying to find the presence of the other tailed beast.
Clearly, the tailed beast within Yugito Nii had been awakened by Uchiha Mu.
"A gift from the heavens!"
Hidan paid no attention at all to the suddenly appearing nobody, Uchiha Mu.
Laughing maniacally, he burst forward. The ground beneath his feet exploded as his scythe shrieked through the air, carrying chilling killing intent straight toward the berserk Two-Tails.
"A perfect sacrifice! Today, I'll offer up a tailed beast and complete the Evil God's ritual!"
Kakuzu merely glanced at the two people in the distance, his brows slightly furrowed.
Then he followed closely behind, countless black threads dancing wildly as the chakra throughout his body boiled completely.
"Finish this quickly. Seize the tailed beast and return to the organization at once to report!"
Uchiha Mu's gaze turned sharp.
"Izumi, Kakuzu is yours. I'll handle Hidan."
"Understood!"
Uchiha Izumi nodded.
Pure Uchiha chakra erupted from her body in an instant.
A fierce aura surged around her. In a flash, she shot out like a ghost, charging straight at the inexhaustible Kakuzu as their intense battle began.
Uchiha Mu stepped into the air and faced Hidan, who stood before him in bloodthirsty madness.
"Who are you? You dare stop me from offering a sacrifice to Lord Evil God?"
Hidan grinned viciously.
His scythe, wrapped in dense baleful energy, slashed down fiercely. The blade wind was bone-chilling and carried the strange curse power of the Evil God.
Once touched, it would infect the victim with a curse mark and drag them into a dead end.
"Die!"
Uchiha Mu used the Scar of Space in an instant, shifting his body to evade the lethal attack to the utmost degree before standing steadily in midair.
His scarlet eyes locked tightly onto the curse markings covering Hidan's body.
He understood Hidan's terror better than anyone.
This man's individual combat strength was not among the top ranks of the ninja world, yet he possessed an almost unsolvable immortal body.
Combined with the Evil God's curse ritual, as long as he obtained even a trace of an opponent's blood, he could complete the sacrifice and perish together with them.
Conventional ninjutsu and physical attacks could not kill him completely. Instead, they would be dragged into an endless war of attrition.
"Your immortal regeneration is indeed troublesome."
The light in Uchiha Mu's eyes flared as spacetime chakra violently boiled around him. His exclusive Mangekyō forbidden dojutsu activated instantly.
"Domain of Time!"
A pale silver, transparent barrier instantly enveloped the small stretch of air.
The flow of time, the circulation of energy, and the vitality of flesh within this space all fell under Uchiha Mu's control.
Hidan, who had been charging at high speed, suddenly stiffened, his entire body frozen in place.
The curse power constantly circulating and regenerating around him.
The fleshly vitality that healed at high speed.
All of it was completely frozen and imprisoned by the power of spacetime, unable to operate in the slightest.
"What kind of bizarre power is this?!"
Hidan's pupils contracted sharply, and the madness on his face was instantly replaced by terror. He could scarcely believe it.
The immortal regenerative power he had relied upon to dominate the ninja world.
The power that feared no injury had completely failed. The invincible body bestowed upon him by the Evil God was utterly useless at this moment.
"You can regenerate endlessly, so I'll freeze your regeneration."
Uchiha Mu instantly killed his way to Hidan's side.
He condensed extremely refined darkness chakra in his palm, carrying the Zero-Tails' devouring power as he unleashed a succession of heavy punches.
There were no flashy techniques.
Every strike precisely blasted his meridians, bones, and the origin of his flesh, systematically dismantling the foundation of his body.
Imprisoned by the Domain of Time, Hidan could not heal, counterattack, or activate the curse ritual. He could only passively endure the crushing assault.
Within mere breaths, his body was covered in severe wounds.
His bones shattered inch by inch, his meridians ruptured, and his aura neared collapse.
The final heavy punch crashed down, directly shattering Hidan's chest core and completely destroying the foundation of his immortality.
Hidan's body went limp, and he collapsed heavily to the ground. After twitching several times, he completely lost all ability to fight.
