"Ha... ah!" Ginkaku had barely begun laughing when Danzo slapped him flat. Ginkaku brought out the Kōkin rope, and Shimura Danzō quickly dodged. Itō Yuying shouted from behind, "Don't let that rope touch you!" Shimura Danzō nodded in acknowledgment.
"Damn Konoha ninja! I'll kill you!" Red chakra then erupted around Ginkaku. "Are they Jinchūriki too?" Shimura Danzō asked in confusion, only to be sent flying by Ginkaku's punch. Ginkaku quickly chased after him, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
That heavy punch was about to drive straight through Shimura Danzō's chest. Itō Yuying used Instant Transmission to appear beside him and kicked Ginkaku far away, but the red chakra had already severely burned Shimura Danzō's chest. He coughed up blood and looked about to die. Itō Yuying fed him a Senzu Bean, and he recovered instantly. Shimura Danzō offered an apologetic "Thank you." "It's fine," Itō Yuying said with a toothy grin. "Nothing matters more than your life." Shimura Danzō murmured his agreement.
The two then joined forces against Ginkaku. At first, Ginkaku was somewhat on the defensive, but he gradually began gaining the upper hand. Without Instant Transmission, Itō Yuying could not even touch him, and once, Ginkaku even clawed him. Shimura Danzō sent Ginkaku tumbling with Wind Release, the wind blades cutting wounds all over his body. But with the help of the red chakra, Ginkaku's wounds rapidly healed. "This is my only option." Itō Yuying began gathering ki. Blue arcs flashed around him, rubbing against the surrounding air. He then slowly rose into the air, his ki blowing away the white clouds.
He then shouted, "Senior brother, hold him off for a while!" Shimura Danzō nodded and charged at Ginkaku, only to be punched right back. "Junior brother, I can't handle him!" Konoha ninja then came over to help Shimura Danzō. The outcome was predictable: corpses littered the ground. Itō Yuying spread his hands, lightning crackling wildly across his palms and rapidly rubbing against the surrounding air. The air around them slowly grew viscous, and everyone's movements slowed. Itō Yuying panted heavily. "Cough, cough."
Ginkaku did not hesitate either. Looking at the brat in the sky, he gathered his strength and shot upward. As Itō Yuying watched Ginkaku fly toward him, he saw Shimura Danzō rush in from the side and knock Ginkaku away, suffering severe wounds from Ginkaku's claws himself. Itō Yuying began locking onto every Cloud Ninja present, then shouted, "Time Stop!" Waves of yellow ripples slowly surged downward.
Ginkaku sneered and leaped up again. When the yellow ripples passed through his body, he suddenly slowed to a halt in midair. The ripples continued spreading downward, and every Cloud Ninja present gradually stopped moving. Kinkaku was no exception. His movements slowly froze in a swinging posture, leaving him unable to move.
Wh-what's going on? My body won't move. I can't even speak anymore. The other Cloud Ninja were the same, but the Konoha ninja were unaffected. The Konoha ninja looked up and saw a blue-white sphere and a purplish-red sphere circling each other, with lightning flashing from time to time. Yellow ripples spilled down from between the two spheres. Once they passed through the Cloud Ninja's bodies, they could no longer move.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, Senju Ziyu, and the other Konoha ninja all felt numb. How were they supposed to play fair now? This feeling-this feeling was simply incredible. Itō Yuying said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill them!" Only then did everyone snap out of it and begin finishing them off one by one. Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kinkaku nearby and charged in to kill him without hesitation. Just then, a burly man wreathed in lightning stepped in front of Kinkaku.
"Second Raikage, A!" Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise. The Raikage said, "Konoha ninja, could you do me a favor and let these two go?" Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately burst out laughing. "Who do you think you are? The Sage of Six Paths? Kumogakure really has no shame!" The future Third Raikage instantly flew into a rage. "You Konoha people, don't throw our courtesy back in our faces! You dare act so insolently before our Lord Raikage?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said disdainfully, "You think you're the only ones with a Kage?"
"Yuying, go fetch Lord Hokage." "All right," Itō Yuying replied, then vanished on the spot. A breath later, he reappeared in the same place with a stern figure standing beside him. "H-Hokage," the future Third Raikage stammered. "Oh, isn't this the Raikage? What's this, bullying the younger generation?" The Second Raikage grew somewhat timid. "You misunderstand. I came to plead for the ninja from our village." "Heh, plead for them? He killed so many ninja from our village, and you think you can just take him away? Do you think Konoha has no one to stand up to you?"
Seeing the people around him frozen in place, Tobirama Senju was stunned as well. "Yuying, what's going on here?" Before Itō Yuying could speak, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and Senju Ziyu all began talking over one another as they reported to Tobirama Senju, describing it in such extravagant terms that his mouth fell open as he listened! Unable to believe it, he took out the Scroll of Seals and looked at Itō Yuying. "Yuying, this technique is too powerful. You can't handle it." "Teacher, I actually can."
"Ah, nonsense. You can't use such a dangerous technique casually." "Um, Teacher, shouldn't we deal with them first?"
"Oh, oh, I almost forgot. Oh, right, why aren't the Raikage and those brats frozen?" Itō Yuying said, "They arrived later. I haven't recorded their ki, so they weren't frozen." "You mean you can freeze them whenever you want as long as you record their ki?" "Yes. But not those few, because they haven't entered my Space-Stilling Formation." "Oh, oh, I understand."
"Ah... Yuying, come record the Raikage's ki. Let me see this amazing technique." Hearing that, the Raikage immediately ran, swiftly leaving the formation's range. He was just about to flee with his guards when he leaped up and froze in midair. "Ah, Yuying! Didn't he escape the formation's range?" "Yes. Yellow ripples passed through his body while he was inside the formation, so a restriction was already left within him. That means I only need to record his ki to freeze him. The drawback is that it might last a shorter time."
"Oh, oh, Yuying, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and write it down!"
Itō Yuying was utterly speechless. Tobirama Senju really was an obsessive collector of forbidden techniques. Itō Yuying stood to one side, writing down the training method. Tobirama Senju was very satisfied after reading it, then walked over to the Second Raikage. The future Third Raikage said, "Hokage, we won't protect them anymore. Let us leave. We haven't fought you Konoha people."
"What if I hadn't come?" "Well..." The future Third Raikage fell silent. "Spare me that useless nonsense. I'll state a few conditions. Agree to them, and I'll let you go." "Name them," the future Third Raikage said. Tobirama Senju looked at the young man with satisfaction. He had the makings of a future Raikage, speaking to him neither servilely nor arrogantly. Tobirama Senju said, "Good. Give us three thousand jin of chakra metal and five hundred million in compensation. Then withdraw from here and never invade again." The future Third Raikage was dumbfounded, then roared, "That's impossible!" Tobirama Senju's expression instantly darkened. "I'm not negotiating with you." The future Third Raikage trembled in fright and instinctively retreated several steps. "I-I-I can't make that decision." Tobirama Senju simply stared at him without speaking. The future Third Raikage lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.
Itō Yuying gazed at Tobirama Senju in admiration. He's so cool! With enough strength, you really can do whatever you want!
I'm going to get stronger and do whatever I want in the future too. Tobirama Senju also noticed Itō Yuying's admiring gaze and immediately stood a little straighter.
