Yu's voice trembled. "Why... did this happen...!?"
"Who told you I'd die if my head was smashed? That was nothing but your own wishful thinking from the start. Let me tell you: as long as a single drop of blood remains, this Second-Stage Transformation can regenerate endlessly. Your attacks are indeed powerful at this stage, but they're not powerful enough to leave not even a drop of my blood behind!!!"
Torashiki's head had regenerated, but the Rinnegan on his forehead and the Tenseigan in his eyes had not. Blood poured from the three empty black sockets. At that moment, Torashiki was like an Asura, radiating a chilling aura!
Torashiki clenched his tiger claw tightly!!
"Urghhhhhhhhh!!" Blood gushed from wounds all over Yu's body amid his screams!
Great Stele-Smashing Hand!!
Torashiki suddenly grabbed Yu and slammed him heavily into the ground!
Boom!
The ground collapsed, and Yu sank toward the depths of the earth. The power of the Seventh Gate of Shock was already irreversibly fading.
Torashiki's pitch-black eye sockets scrutinized the pitch-black abyss. Beyond that abyss lay Jianzhou Country's core, a sea of molten lava. Once Yu fell into it, not even his bones would remain.
Torashiki muttered, "Sink like this. Don't stand up again. I will watch you die. Uchiha Yu, the strongest enemy I have ever faced, I will engrave your name in my heart forever, until eternity!"
So this was the strength of the main family's thirtieth-ranked member? How was I supposed to defeat a monster like this? Maybe... he simply couldn't be defeated.
As he sank, an unprecedented sense of helplessness filled Yu's heart. With every thought emptied from his mind, he closed his eyes!
"Lord Feather Emperor, can you hear me?"
Suddenly, Shikamaru Nara's urgent voice rang out in Yu's mind.
Yu jolted. "Shikamaru?"
Shikamaru
