Was I late?

Seeing Saki's wretched appearance, Eiji frowned uncomfortably.

"My face must look awful," Saki said sarcastically. "From a man's perspective, your face is truly beautiful, but you'll soon look like me. What a pity, ha..."

Saki thought about how Eiji's face was about to break, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.

It wasn't pity for the enemy, but the destruction of beautiful things that made him uncomfortable.

"If you don't want to die, why not just escape with your men? Why choose to fight to the death?"

"There's no reason why, it's because I'm Ninja. Don't even think about finding an antidote. If you come into close contact with this Poison Gas, you'll suffer nerve paralysis within five minutes from inhaling Poison Gas, and ultimately die a violent death."

Saki sounded relieved; he could finally be free from his Ninja life.

"You didn't expect this, did you? The strongest one is going to the underworld with me. So, as a companion going to Hell with you, can you tell me the principle behind your untouchable Ninjutsu?"

"No way! If I tell you, what if you get Impure World Reincarnation using the Impure World Reincarnation technique? You'll just spread my Ninjutsu everywhere."

Eiji waved his hand, his tone as if he were chatting casually with a friend.

Honestly, the opponent had done their best. Anyone else would have fallen for it. He respects an opponent who gives their Full Power.

"Impure World Reincarnation? What's that...?"

Saki watched as his body rapidly swelled up, but he noticed that Eiji in front of him didn't react at all.

Her cheeks, which should have been swollen and broken along with her own, still looked beautiful and radiant.

No, how could this be!?

"You, how come you're completely unharmed?"

"Are you mistaken? I never said in the first place that this stuff would work on me."

Hoping he could die knowing why, Eiji repeated the theory of the Reverse Cursed Technique that he had previously explained to the Third Raikage, though he didn't know if the Third Raikage would understand.

"Monster... monster!!"

After hearing Eiji's words, Saki died in despair.

His eyes were still open when he died, staring straight at the Sky Manipulation, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

However, Eiji himself did not study in detail whether it was the Limitless that isolated the Poison Gas or the Reverse Cursed Technique that worked.

The result is the same anyway, so it doesn't matter what.

So, what's next?

Eiji looked around at the remaining Sunagakure, who all wore expressions of extreme fear.

Seeing Saki detonate the Poison Gas Bomb and utter those words, the Sunagakure members originally thought Eiji was doomed.

Many people are thinking about how to steal eyesight for money.

A small number of Ninja even coveted that power and attempted to place it in their eye sockets.

At this moment, all they wanted was to escape.

Seeing the Sunagakure turn tail and run, Eiji didn't choose to let them go. Instead, he raised his arm and sent them on their way with a Full Output Azure Shot.

Eiji looked around and saw that the once huge camp of more than two thousand people was now deserted.

He didn't linger, taking down several empty storage scrolls. These were brought from the Senju Ancestral Home, and he never expected them to come in handy here.

After collecting the few relatively intact puppets inside, he vanished in a flash.

◇

"It's useless. You have no chance against my Magnet Release."

The Third Raikage swung his arm, and a large amount of black Iron Sand shot towards Tsunade like a torrential rain!

Forced by the terrifying power of the Iron Sand, Tsunade could only seek out rocks and hide from it.

All the Tree and Rock that had been washed away by the Iron Sand were blasted to pieces, and thick smoke billowed out in an instant.

Tsunade focused on dodging attacks that could come at any moment, and then her body gradually moved closer to the Kazekage. Finally, in a certain instant, she seized an opportunity!

We've spotted the flaw, now's the time!

"Drink up!"

Tsunade, pushed off the ground with her legs, and shot towards the Kazekage!

The Kazekage, who remained motionless, could only watch helplessly as Tsunade's fist drew ever closer to him, before a massive amount of Iron Sand instantly enveloped his body completely!

Bang--!

Tsunade's Full Power attack struck the Iron Sand Ball made of Iron Sand, its hard surface making her fist feel burning hot.

Then, a large number of sharp spikes suddenly emerged from the surface of the Iron Sand. Seeing that the situation was not good, Tsunade quickly dodged backward.

In an instant, a torrent of Iron Sand Needle Rain down on the spot where she had been standing.

Even so, Tsunade's golden hair, which was fluttering in the air, was pierced by a sharp Iron Sand, and several strands of hair were cut off!

Tsunade glanced at the accompanying Ninja. Although the number of Konoha Ninja beside her was no less than that of Sunagakure, they were also struggling because the Kazekage would occasionally use Magnet Release to provide support attacks.

This is troublesome.

Nara Rokui touched the Kazekage's back, crouched down, and assumed his signature Hand Seals. In an instant, his shadow lunged at the Kazekage's lower body!

Just as his shadow was about to connect with the shadow of the Third Kazekage—

Whoosh--!

A pair of enormous Black Wings suddenly unfurled from behind Kazekage, and he soared straight into the sky!

"What!?"

Nara Rokui looked up at the sky; had he actually used Magnet Release to turn Iron Sand into wings?

"I don't have time to waste with you all, I'll just take care of you in one go."

In an instant, all the Iron Sand that was still attacking and weaving through the battlefield converged on the Iron Sand Wings behind the Third Kazekage. The huge wings grew larger and larger until they were big enough to cover the entire area!

"Wh-what..."

Witnessing this scene, Tsunade felt somewhat powerless for a moment. No wonder everyone said he was the strongest Kazekage of all time; his strength was indeed not just talk.

"It's over!"

The two enormous wings slammed down on Tsunade simultaneously. Seeing the danger, Tsunade quickly leaped into the air, dodging the fatal blow.

However, it was impossible to change position in the air. The Iron Sand instantly dispersed and transformed into a dense net, trying to completely trap Tsunade from below! Seeing this, Tsunade was at a loss for what to do.

"Got you?"

Tsunade thought she was going to die this time, so she closed her eyes tightly.

However, the expected violent impact and pain did not occur.

At the crucial moment, she felt herself being embraced, and the Iron Sand did not harm her.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Eiji's profile.

Her smooth white hair fluttered in the wind, and her Azure eyes were dazzling. She was being carried in a princess carry by Eiji in mid-air.

His body was surrounded by dense black Iron Sand, which kept trying to attack him, but they were blocked by Eiji's Limitless and could not advance an inch!

"Oh, am I late?"

Ryuuzaki Eiji makes his appearance!
