Five Kage vs. Jigen!

The steel dome of the Raikage Building pounded loudly in the downpour, and the Fourth Raikage A, smashed Granite Conference Table with a punch, sending flying shards of stone grazing past Mei Terumī's ear.

Uchiha Yu sat in the main seat, watching the Raikage rage, his expression unchanged.

"How dare those brats from Konoha order me around? It was Iwagakure who invaded Kumogakure first, and you think you can just call a ceasefire like that?" A's body erupted with Lightning Release chakra, and the ground cracked inch by inch with his roar. "The word 'surrender' doesn't exist in Kumogakure's dictionary!"

Suddenly, Senjutsu Chakra lit up at Uchiha Yu's fingertips, Wood Release vines instantly wrapped around the Raikage's limbs. "You don't have to listen, but if you dare to make a move now, I'll unleash my ultimate attack on Kumogakure!"

"Kid! Don't think I'll tolerate you just because of Killer B!" A gritted his teeth, about to continue speaking, when Tsunade suddenly slammed her hand on the table.

"Bang!"

This slap was far more powerful than Ai's; the entire long table was reduced to dust.

Tsunade glared at the Raikage: "What kind of time is this to be thinking about the past! The reason you started this war is definitely because the Akatsuki interfered. If you continue fighting, what's the difference between you and idiots?"

Mei Terumī suddenly spoke up, "What does this have to do with Kirigakure? What are you trying to do by bringing me here?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised to hear Mei Terumī interrupt.

She thought that Kirigakure was on Konoha's side.

Uchiha Yu naturally knew why Mei Terumī looked so sullen.

"Representative of Kirigakure." Uchiha Yu looked at Mei Terumī, "As far as Kirigakure is concerned, you were never able to seal the Isobu. You don't have that ability, you know? Although you paid a great price, the Three-Tails ultimately does not belong to your village."

Mei Terumī could no longer contain her anger. She stood up and roared, "Do you know how much Kirigakure has lost because your attack on Isobu caused the water level to rise?! It even exceeded the losses of the war!"

Uchiha Yu shrugged. "What does this have to do with me? You Kirigakure are stationed on the coast, and the first thing you should consider is the natural disaster of tsunamis."

Mei Terumī clenched her fists. "Are you a natural disaster!?"

"No, but the Three-Tails is."

Mei Terumī was furious, but when she thought about how Uchiha Yu had managed to Isobu to death, she couldn't vent her anger.

The old man Ōnoki, sat to one side, his expression so grim it seemed to drip water. His gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over Raikage A, his voice low and filled with undeniable rage. "My son, my disciple, murdered! My granddaughter missing! These blood debts must be settled! Traces of the Eight-Tails were left at the crime scene. Kumogakure, you are not innocent! I demand an explanation!!!"

His words, filled with grief and hatred, echoed in the Conference Room, making everyone's eardrums ache.

Upon hearing this, Raikage A's already volatile temper flared instantly. His Lightning Release chakra surged wildly once more, crackling with electricity. He took a sudden step forward, causing the ground beneath his feet to collapse, and roared, "Old man, don't Kumogakure nonsense! How dare you slander me like this in Kumogakure!"

The atmosphere in the Conference Room instantly became tense, as if a fierce battle was about to erupt at any moment.

At this critical moment, Uchiha Yu suddenly stood up and let out a deafening roar that resounded throughout the entire venue!

"Shut your Laozi, all of you!"

In an instant, his Senjutsu Chakra surged and roared, like a golden raging tide, instantly engulfing the entire Conference Room!

In the blink of an eye, a majestic Guanyin of Guanyin slowly appeared in the sky above Kumogakure. Guanyin's Guanyin were lowered, compassion mixed with majesty, and her body radiated a soft yet powerful light that enveloped the entire village!

Every inch of the Guanyin phantom exuded a sense of oppression, like a majestic divine mountain, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

Uchiha Yu's icy gaze swept over Ōnoki and Raikage A, and he said in a cold voice, "Don't push your luck! If I really cripple you two, you'll both be in a very awkward situation!"

He took a breath and continued, "I called you here today to call a ceasefire, not for you to argue pointlessly like children! What good will it do?"

Raikage A gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently, his anger still burning fiercely. He really wanted to rush up and compete with Uchiha Yu to see just how strong the other party was.

Ōnoki, however, was equally unyielding. The faint light of Dust Release flickered between his hands. Although he was short, he exuded an aura of unwavering determination.

Tsunade stood aside, shaking her head helplessly. Without hesitation, she reached out and picked up Rasa, the hostage whose chakra was sealed. Mei Terumī a wink, and the two of them lightly touched the ground and instantly jumped to a distance, away from the eye of the storm that was about to erupt into a great battle.

The three were removed from the arena, and the three, who were already angry, ultimately could not control their rage.

A great war is about to break out!

Ōnoki struck first, his hands rapidly Hand Seal as he shouted, "Earth Release: Fist of Stone!"

The ground suddenly trembled, and a huge fist made of hard rock burst out of the ground, smashing towards Raikage A with overwhelming force.

Seeing this, Raikage A showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, his fighting spirit intensified.

His Lightning Release chakra surged even more violently, unleashing Lariat!

With a roar, his body transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging towards the Rock Fist at incredible speed.

The lightning and the Rock Fist collided instantly, unleashing a deafening roar. The powerful impact shattered the surrounding ground, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.

Seeing that the two of them completely ignored his warnings, Uchiha Yu's anger flared up instantly.

"They're not treating me like a human being at all!"

Fang Yu roared, his hands rapidly changing hand seals, and his Senjutsu Chakra surged wildly around him, Sage Art: Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Hand Kill!"

In an instant, the Sky Manipulation changed color, and the Guanyin image raised its huge golden hand!

The palm blotted out the sky, its lines clearly visible, and with rolling thunder and immense power, it slammed down towards Ōnoki and Raikage A!

Noticing the sudden darkness on the ground and the shocked gazes of the approaching Anbu, the two instinctively looked up at the enormous palm print that was growing larger and larger in the Xiang Tian!

Ōnoki's expression changed drastically. Knowing the terror of this attack, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He quickly moved his hands and shouted, "Earth Release: Golem Technique!" A thick layer of rock armor instantly formed in front of him. The armor was made of countless hard stones tightly joined together, and its surface shimmered with a cold luster, seemingly able to withstand extremely strong attacks.

Raikage A didn't dare to be careless. He activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the maximum, with lightning flashing all around him, forming a high-intensity lightning shield. The lightning crackled and popped around him, making his defense appear to be at its maximum.

The enormous golden hand finally slammed down! It clashed fiercely with Ōnoki's rock armor and Raikage A's lightning shield!

In an instant, light shone everywhere, and the deafening roar made people's eardrums ache. The powerful Havok spread outward from the point of impact, completely leveling the Raikage Building! A huge crater was punched into the ground, and the soil and rocks at the bottom of the crater were pulverized!

Surprisingly, Ōnoki and Raikage A managed to withstand this terrifying and dazzling attack.

Raikage A, panting heavily, still looked stubborn and unwilling, and shouted loudly, "I thought you were so capable, but is this all you are?"

Ōnoki also wore an expression that said, "It's nothing special."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Yu in the Sky Manipulation snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

He Hand Seal again, and the huge golden palm slowly rose up. Then, the second palm slammed down on the two of them!

Subsequently

The third, fourth, fifteenth, twenty-fourth, and thirty-sixth palm strikes rained down on Ōnoki and Raikage A.

Just as Uchiha Yu was about to unleash his thirty-seventh palm strike, Ōnoki below hurriedly shouted, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Uchiha Yu then deactivated Sage Mode: "Hmph, where were you before? Can we have a proper conversation now?"

Raikage A crawled out of the pit, wiped the sweat mixed with dirt from his forehead, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Yes! We can talk!"

The Conference Room had been reduced to ruins, with howling winds sweeping through and stirring up the pervasive dust.

Ōnoki slumped to the ground, his face as pale as paper, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and down his wrinkled cheeks, wetting the dust in front of him.

Raikage A was equally disheveled. His clothes were tattered and torn in many places by the soil and rocks thrown up by the Havok, revealing bleeding wounds. Sweat mixed with dirt made his face filthy.

Mei Terumī stood aside, watching all this with a complicated expression. She sighed softly, and the anger in her heart quietly dissipated.

Recalling the immense threat posed by the Isobu, and looking at the current situation, she secretly rejoiced that she had not been drawn into this chaotic battle.

At least the crisis with the Three-Tails was over, Kirigakure was temporarily free from Three-Tails threat. This eased her tense nerves a little. 'Well, at least we weren't attacked. We're better off than the Tsuchikage Raikage.'

Rasa was casually placed aside by Tsunade, and he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

As a defeated general, he had already exhausted his strength in the previous battle with Tsunade. Now, witnessing the terrifying strength displayed by Uchiha Yu, he was filled with despair.

He couldn't help but think to himself that if he had been facing Uchiha Yu back then, he would probably have lost his life long ago, and wouldn't be able to survive until now.

Uchiha Yu's gaze swept over the crowd, and seeing that they had finally calmed down from their earlier anger, he slowly spoke, "The Akatsuki, I'm sure you've all heard of them. They're secretly plotting a conspiracy that could overthrow the Shinobi World."

He paused slightly, his gaze growing increasingly grave. "The Akatsuki has been capturing Tailed Beast everywhere, attempting to gather the power of all of Tailed Beast. If their plan succeeds, the Shinobi World will be plunged into utter ruin."

Uchiha Yu took a deep breath and slowly said, "We must unite. The Five Great Nations ninja villages should put aside their past grievances and work together to fight against the Akatsuki and the mastermind behind it. As for their strength, I have fought against some members of the Akatsuki. Their methods are endless and unpredictable, but they are not invincible."

"The difficulty lies in the fact that, besides the Akatsuki, there's another ruthless individual."

"This ruthless man, even if Hashirama Senju to be resurrected, it would be difficult to do anything to him! I was almost killed by him a while ago. Just now, I couldn't even finish the third strike of that technique in front of him before it was interrupted."

Upon hearing this, the five shadows present were stunned!

They thought Uchiha Yu was already the strongest in the Shinobi World, but it turns out there are always people stronger than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

Ōnoki's eyes widened. "There's another expert!?"

"Yes, and it's not just Jigen; there are many, many more for the future of the Shinobi World."

He sighed, "So, if you don't put aside your personal grudges and focus on what's right in front of you, then your villages and the kingdoms behind them will become fertilizer for the Otsutsuki aliens. Don't blame me for not warning you."

Upon hearing Ōnoki Yu's words, Uchiha Yu's face instantly turned crimson. He glared at Uchiha Yu, his voice trembling slightly with anger. "Hmph! You brat, are you under Genjutsu? Having some nightmare? You must be out of your mind to spout such alarmist nonsense! What Otsutsuki alien? That's utterly absurd! In all my years of Shinobi World experience, I've never heard of such an outlandish claim!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Yu didn't get angry but laughed. He shook his head slightly, with a hint of pity in his eyes. "Ōnoki, you are indeed old, but why are you so narrow- Mind's Eye? Your brain doesn't seem very sharp either. You don't believe in the Otsutsuki alien theory, fine, then let me ask you, where exactly does the chakra in the Shinobi World come from?"

His eyes gleamed as he stared intently at Ōnoki. "This chakra appears as soon as it's said to, and ninjas can perform corresponding Ninjutsu simply by Hand Seal. And what about those strange and unusual Kekkei Genkai? Can you explain them clearly? According to common sense, everything in the world has its origin, but the birth and use of chakra are completely contrary to normal logic. Can you explain it? Can you explain it clearly?"

Ōnoki opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found himself speechless for a moment.

He had always followed the established rules and understanding of the Shinobi World. Although he had had doubts about the source of chakra, he had never thought about it in such a bizarre direction.

Now, being questioned like this by Uchiha Yu, he was speechless.

Uchiha Yu continued, "This is such an obvious thing, anyone with a little brainpower can figure it out. Chakra doesn't appear out of nowhere; there must be a deeper reason behind it. And this reason is related to the Otsutsuki Clan. They come from a distant universe and possess power and knowledge far beyond our imagination. It was they who brought chakra to the Shinobi World, creating the seemingly prosperous but actually perilous situation we see today."

"Wake up! Stop clinging to those outdated ideas. In the face of the true truth, your so-called experience simply doesn't hold water!"

"Chakra Studies is no more!"

Ōnoki's brows furrowed, and a flicker of doubt crossed his eyes.

He understood that what Uchiha Yu said was not without reason, but it was really difficult for him to accept such a subversive concept all at once.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke, "Even if what you said makes some sense, it's just your speculation. Without solid evidence, how can you expect me to believe it so easily?"

"Believe it or not, if you have any brains, you can see that I don't need to come up with any schemes. If I really wanted to cause trouble, why would I make up stories for you?"

"Let me put it simply: the Akatsuki has someone behind them who is stronger than all of you here—I mean, that person is stronger than all of you combined!"

"If we don't join forces and are picked off one by one by the Akatsuki, then we'll all be doomed."

Mei Terumī seemed to understand. "So what exactly do we need to do? I'll believe what you said for now. If there really is someone two levels stronger than us, what's the point of us joining forces?"

Uchiha Yu raised an eyebrow at Mei Terumī. "That's a good question!"

He glanced at Tsunade and continued, "The One-Tail and Three-Tails are dead, and their resurrection time is approximately three years. Since this is a battle centered around collecting the Tailed Beast, we should clarify our objective."

"That is, to Limitless delay the rebirth of the Tailed Beast!"

"Three years after three years, making the Akatsuki wait Limitless!"

"Until the moment the opportunity arises!"

At this point, Rasa finally couldn't help but speak up, "Then I want to ask, since this Jigen you mentioned is so powerful, aren't you afraid he'll come and kill us? Once he kills us ants, then what you're saying is nothing more than the thoughts of ants before they die."

Uchiha Yu. "I've figured it out these past few days."

He looked at the distant mountains, recalling Jigen's face.

"That guy shouldn't be able to maintain a high-intensity combat state for a long time, nor should he make frequent moves."

"Otherwise, he should have come out to stop me when I was about to kill the Three-Tails."

Uchiha Yu had barely finished speaking when suddenly! The space within the crowd distorted!

Everyone was startled and jumped back!

Uchiha Yu stared wide-eyed at the uninvited guest, then gritted his teeth and introduced, "This guy is Jigen! Ōnoki! You didn't believe me, did you? You go first!"

Before Ōnoki could react, Jigen raised an eyebrow and looked at Uchiha Yu. "You do know a lot of things, but there are also things you don't know. It's okay, after you die, everything will continue as it was originally intended."

Uchiha Yu grinned, "Stop trying to scare me! If you really could maintain your strength with this spatial teleportation ability, you would have teleported to the Konoha camp to hunt me down last time!"

Jigen tilted his head to look at Uchiha Yu, a black horn sprouting from his head. "You guessed right, I can't hold out for long."

"However, before that, killing all of you wouldn't be a problem."

"Bullshit!"

Raikage swung his fist wide and charged towards Jigen!

"Lightning Release: Lariat!"

Jigen snorted coldly, pulled out a Black Receiver, and charged forward!

Seeing this, Uchiha Yu didn't rush into the battle. Instead, he whispered urgently to Tsunade, "I'll go get reinforcements! Use Hundred Healings right away, don't hesitate!"

Tsunade naturally listens to Uchiha Yu.

However, in the Shinobi World today, the Five Kage are already the strongest fighting force.

Where else can Uchiha Yu go to get reinforcements?

Jiraiya?

Jiraiya said that he was as insignificant as Toad in front of Jigen.

That could be...
