"Why are you running away? You're already here, won't you stay and sit for a while?"
Shisui Uchiha's voice was gentle, as if he were inviting a friend to a tea party.
But when this gentle voice reached the ears of Raiga, the deputy commander of the Kumogakure's Anbu, it was more terrifying than the roar of a demon from the depths of hell!
Raiga's body tensed to its limit in an instant, every muscle groaning in agony from the unbearable strain!
Every cell in his body was screaming for two words: Escape! Escape now!
The man before me is Shisui Uchiha!
That monster, whose name resounded throughout the Shinobi World as " Body Flicker Shisui," and who possessed the strongest Genjutsu, " Kotoamatsukami "!
The intelligence report clearly stated that he had severely weakened his abilities and was nearly blind due to overuse of the Mangekyo!
But now, those Mangekyō Sharingan, burning with dark red flames under the moonlight, show no sign of decline whatsoever!
The power of the eye contained within is a hundred times more terrifying than in the legends!
"Retreat! Everyone retreat! Disperse and break out!"
Raiga practically roared those words, his hands flashing as he Hand Seals, and blinding lightning gathered in his palms!
Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!
He dared not hold back in the slightest, and immediately unleashed his strongest offensive Ninjutsu!
However, his Lightning Pillar had not yet taken shape.
Shisui Uchiha moved.
It lacks the signature afterimage left by the Body Flicker Technique.
He simply vanished from the spot.
The next second, he appeared behind Raiga, as if he had been standing there from the very beginning.
A warm palm gently pressed against the back of Raiga's neck.
"Don't move."
The sound of Shisui remained gentle.
"Otherwise, your head might Branch Family from your body."
Raiga's body instantly stiffened like iron!
He could clearly feel an incredibly sharp Chakra dagger pressed against his carotid artery!
He had no doubt that if he made any further unusual moves, that short knife would not hesitate to sever all his life force!
quick!
That's too fast!
It was so fast that his nerve reaction speed couldn't keep up at all!
Is this really a speed that humans can achieve?!
Meanwhile, the fate of the remaining fourteen Kumogakure elites was even more desperate than that of Raiga.
Just as they received the order to retreat and were preparing to scatter and flee.
Shisui Uchiha's dark red Mangekyo rotated slightly.
It lacked any earth-shattering grandeur.
There was no earth-shattering Chakra surge.
An invisible yet omnipresent spiritual force, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, silently enveloped the entire battlefield.
" Kotoamatsukami: Radiance."
This is a new move that Shisui developed in the mental space training pod, under the guidance of Lord Gen'yō.
It lacks the domineering effect of the " Kotoamatsukami " itself, which forcibly twists the will.
Its sole purpose is to implant a simple yet deadly thought into the target's subconscious.
"Your comrade is the enemy."
In an instant.
The fourteen well-trained and perfectly coordinated Kumogakure elites simultaneously had a look of confusion and fervor in their eyes!
"Traitor!"
A ninja wielding the Lightning Blade Kiba suddenly turned around, his twin blades crackling with violent lightning, and slashed fiercely at his teammate beside him!
"Die! How dare you betray Lord Raikage!"
The teammate who was attacked also had a ferocious look on his face. He neither dodged nor avoided the attack, and used his body to crash head-on into the pair of lightning blades!
Pfft!
Blood splattered!
The battle erupted between the most unlikely people, in the most brutal way!
They're killing each other!
This lightning-fast infiltration unit, which struck fear into the hearts of all the major ninja villages, was thrown into complete chaos in less than ten seconds because of a single glance!
Only now did the eight ghostly Shadow Guard truly begin to move.
They moved with precision through the chaotic battlefield like highly efficient harvesting machines.
With each strike, a Kumogakure would inevitably have their limbs broken cleanly and decisively severed, their Chakra sealed, and be completely rendered incapable of fighting.
They didn't even kill a single person.
Because Lord Gen'yō's order was to capture him alive.
Standing on the edge of the battlefield, the Byakugan missing-nin Hyuga Gekka stared blankly at the scene before her, which resembled a magical drama. For the first time, her face, which had always been as still as water, revealed an emotion called "fear".
You could clearly see the Byakugan of her eyes.
The Chakra flow of those Kumogakure was normal, and their bodies were not restrained in any way.
But their spirits and their will were unknowingly and completely controlled by that man!
Is this the most powerful Genjutsu, " Kotoamatsukami "?
They dismantled an elite force of fifteen S-class soldiers without lifting a finger!
This is no longer Ninjutsu.
This is a power possessed only by gods!
"You..."
Raiga, who was restrained by Shisui, watched helplessly as his subordinates fell one by one, his eyes wide with rage!
"What did you do to them?!"
"Nothing."
Shisui's tone remained calm.
"It simply showed them their truest desires and fears."
"Now, it's your turn."
Shisui turned his head, and for the first time, his dark red Mangekyo were directly facing Raiga's eyes.
Tell me, who sent you?
"Besides here, where else are you headed?"
"Who gave you that defense layout map?"
Raiga's body trembled violently!
He desperately tried to close his eyes and look away!
But he couldn't do it!
Those eyes seemed to possess boundless magic, completely drawing his soul into them!
His mental defenses are crumbling at an astonishing speed!
However, just as his consciousness was about to completely succumb...
A cold, authoritative voice, like a divine decree from the heavens, resounded in everyone's minds.
" Shisui, no need to ask anymore."
I already know the answer.
Along with this sound, an enormous spatial Uzumaki appeared out of nowhere in the sky above the battlefield without warning!
The next second.
Three figures slowly emerged from the Uzumaki and hovered in mid-air.
Leading the group was none other than the man dressed in a magnificent black robe with gold trim, looking down upon all living beings like a god— Uchiha Gen'yō!
Beside him Obito Uchiha, who had a nonchalant expression and whose right eye also burned with the Mangekyō Sharingan.
And then there's Akahoshi, with her arms crossed, a voluptuous figure, and those molten Akahoshi eyes filled with icy killing intent!
Looking at the three people who suddenly appeared, especially Uchiha Gen'yō was in the lead.
Raiga's crumbling will was utterly crushed into dust by extreme fear at this moment!
It's over!
Everything is over!
Shisui knelt respectfully on one knee in front of Gen'yō in the sky.
" Lord Gen'yō, all the flies have been caught."
But I feel...
Shisui raised his head, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Simply killing them isn't enough.
