"What power this is!"
Everyone stared at the hundred-meter-high ice pillar, where Roshi, who had Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, was frozen solid. If it weren't for the faint trace of life remaining, everyone in Iwagakure would have thought he was truly dead.
"That's too slow. I've been waiting here all night. At this rate, if the Jinchūriki is ever targeted, by the time you arrive, it'll be too late."
Just as everyone was filled with fear, Yuzuru's voice rang out from the top of the ice pillar at just the right moment.
Only then did everyone look up and see Yu Yuzuru at the very top of the ice pillar, and the Uchiha girl beside him who was said to possess the strongest Sharingan.
" Ōnoki, I remember you saw Hashirama Senju his peak, right? Tell me, Hashirama Senju, who is stronger?"
Yuzuru looked at him with great interest.
"Compared to the God of Shinobi? I admit, your strength is indeed not to be underestimated, but Hashirama Senju, that's the man who pacified the chaotic world. You've never witnessed that man's power."
Ōnoki immediately spoke.
"Really? That's a real shame."
" Minazuki Yuzuru, what exactly is your purpose? You captured Roshi but didn't leave. Either you've run out of Chakra, or you have ulterior motives."
Ōnoki looked at Yuzuru and made a gesture to the Iwagakure members behind him.
The atmosphere instantly became strange.
"I've seen your little tricks. Since you want to know the answer, then watch closely."
Yuzuru pointed to the front of him with one hand, then snapped his fingers.
"Bong!"
A giant ice ball, a full 100 meters in diameter, froze above everyone's heads and then crashed down on them.
"Madman!"
Ōnoki's face instantly turned ugly.
"Han! Please!"
"Ah!"
Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, had no choice but to intervene, immediately activating his Tailed Beast Transformation. With the immense power of the Five-Tails, he slowed the descent of the ice ball.
Earth Release: Rock Cannon Technique!
" Earth Release ·Earthquake Core!"
Hundreds of Iwagakure Ninja used Earth Release simultaneously, creating a truly spectacular scene.
This is also the foundation of Iwagakure's strength; the power of this combined Ninjutsu goes beyond that of a simple combination of Ninjutsu.
Countless stones rained down on the ice hockey puck, while the ground in the middle immediately rose up to stop the falling puck.
Han immediately moved away from under the puck, allowing the rising ground to catch it steadily.
"Pretty impressive, indeed a great power, they certainly have some skills."
Yuzuru clapped her hands.
"So, what about this? How should you deal with it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ice ball shattered, and at the same time, an ice phoenix flew out from it. After circling once in the air, it flapped its wings, and a large number of ice feathers shot out towards the people of Iwagakure.
" Earth Release · Earth Style Wall!"
Without time to hesitate, everyone immediately began to unleash Ninjutsu, and thick walls rose up one after another.
However, quite a few people were still pierced through the body by the ice feathers and died on the spot.
"That's enough! Dust Release Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
" Yata Mirror!"
Uchiha Hikari gave a soft shout, and instantly, a white shield appeared in front of the two of them, deflecting Ōnoki's Dust Release.
"What?! That's... the legendary Yata Mirror?"
Uchiha Hikari crossed his arms, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan slowly rotating as he looked down at everyone, including Ōnoki.
While Ōnoki was still in shock, Han's eyes had already transformed into Sharingan, and then he was bound to an ice pillar by ice chains.
Behind him, the white Susanoo slowly retracted its shield, as if it had never been there at all.
"Where did you get the Yata Mirror? It's not Itachi's, is it? What about the Totsuka Blade? Did you get your hands on it too?"
"Yes, I've Imprinting it over, and so far, it's not bad."
Uchiha Hikari nodded.
Seeing this, a hint of disbelief flashed in Ōnoki's eyes.
Back then, when the Uchiha and Senju joined forces, one Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, and the other Susanoo, making everyone tremble.
These two, one possessing unparalleled Ice Release and the other with equally terrifying Sharingan, exerted absolute suppression over Tailed Beast, causing Ōnoki to feel a strange sense of fear.
Most importantly, they won't fall apart like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha did back then, and that's what scares him the most.
"Alright, game time is over. Now, let's have a proper chat."
Yuzuru snapped his fingers, and the Ice Phoenix landed atop the ice pillar. At the same time, a giant ice dragon appeared, coiling around the pillar, its scarlet eyes fixed on Ōnoki and the others.
"Tell me, what do you want for me to release Roshi?"
At this moment, Ōnoki's back finally bent.
"Wrong, now it's, I'm letting all of you go."
Yuzuru said with a smile.
"What?!!"
"Roar!"
The next second, the same eight ice dragons appeared around them, surrounding everyone.
"I'm saying, now, all of you are my spoils of war, any problem?"
Yuzuru's smile vanished, and he stared blankly at Ōnoki.
Facing nine ice dragons, a menacing ice phoenix, and an Uchiha girl who hadn't yet made a move, Ōnoki felt bitter, but he was powerless to resist at this moment.
The girl possessed the legendary Yata Mirror, but her own Dust Release was completely useless.
" Ōnoki, let's make a deal. Give me the training methods for Dust Release, the training methods for combined Ninjutsu, the Light-Weight Rock Technique, the Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique, the Added-Weight Rock Technique, and the Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique, and I'll let you all leave. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Ōnoki's face twitched.
This is tantamount to uprooting Iwagakure.
To put it bluntly, what Yuzuru mentioned is the very lifeblood of Iwagakure.
However, at this moment, he had no choice but to agree, because both Jinchūriki were in the enemy's hands, and there were so many elites from Iwagakure on this side. If they all died here, Ōnoki didn't even need to think that Kumogakure would abandon its attack on the Land of Fire and turn its attention to attacking the Land of Earth.
The two families truly have a blood feud. Ōnoki knows perfectly well how the Third Raikage died, and the Fourth Raikage knows it very well as well as well.
"Okay, but I didn't bring the item with me. I need to go back to the village to get it."
"The sun has just risen. I need you to come with these things before dark, otherwise, you can prepare to collect their corpses."
Yuzuru's words were undoubtedly an agreement with him.
Ōnoki's expression was grave. He said to the Kitsuchi behind him, "Don't act rashly. Don't do anything foolish before I arrive."
"I see."
After saying that, Ōnoki immediately used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to accelerate his flight towards Iwagakure.
Yuzuru wasn't in a hurry; he sat there with Uchiha Hikari, patiently waiting for him to return.
"Why not just take the Tailed Beast with you?"
Uchiha Hikari couldn't help but ask.
"If we have too many Tailed Beast, we'll attract the attention of certain people."
"Leave the Tailed Beast here. When the time comes, they'll start collecting Tailed Beast from these major powers. We just need to wait for them to start fighting."
"Although we will inevitably have to wage war in the future, why not weaken our opponent's capabilities to the greatest extent possible?"
"I see."
Uchiha Hikari nodded.
"By the way, who are those people you're talking about who collect the Tailed Beast? That Obito Uchiha? Just him alone, is that enough?"
"Of course not. He doesn't even have his own Sharingan anymore; he's using someone else's. Even if he still has the Kamui Dōjutsu, its effect is a weakened version."
"There was someone else who was used as a pawn by Madara Uchiha and Obito."
Yuzuru looked towards the Land of Rain.
"Is there anything special about that person?"
" The Uzumaki Clan, plus the Rinnegan."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikari was startled. " The Rinnegan?"
"Yes, but don't worry, you'll have it too."
"Your Sharingan is already outrageous enough. I can't even imagine how terrifying it would be if your eyes evolved into the Rinnegan."
Yuzuru looked at Hikaru's Sharingan and exclaimed in admiration.
"Yeah?"
Hikaru blinked, also somewhat curious about how outrageous it would be if her eyes evolved into the Rinnegan.
The Yachihoko and the Imprinting are already formidable Dōjutsu. Add to that the many Mangekyō Dōjutsu she copied through Imprinting, and imagine how powerful they would become when they evolve into the Rinnegan! Perhaps, they would be even more terrifying than the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.
"The Rinnegan you mentioned, it wouldn't be Madara Uchiha's, would it?"
Suddenly remembering something, Uchiha Hikari looked at Yuzuru and asked.
"Yes, it's his."
"He focused his attention on others?"
"Yes, all his plans were based on his Rinnegan. Once he dies with the Rinnegan, all his plans will be useless. The Rinnegan can't just be placed in anyone's body. The most suitable people to nurture those eyes and also carry out some of his plans are the Uzumaki Clan."
" The Uzumaki Clan's vitality is even stronger than the Senju Clan's. That child who was targeted by Madara Uchiha had his eyes replaced when he was young, and he's already over twenty years old. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been drained of their life force long ago, but not only are they still alive, they can even use the power of those eyes."
"But the Rinnegan is a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing his life force, which he can't replenish. He'll die sooner or later. Although I'm also very interested in those eyes, let's focus on that person for now. Only with him can the Shinobi World truly descend into chaos. Shinobi World that isn't chaotic isn't very interesting. The military strength of major nations still needs him to deplete it."
"Someone always wants to be a troublemaker, let him be one, we'll just keep watching the show."
For the next while, the two sat quietly on the ice pillar. Uchiha Hikari sat next to Yuzuru, resting her head gently on his shoulder, closing her eyes to rest, and quietly waiting for Ōnoki to arrive.
Time passed slowly, and finally, before sunset, Ōnoki returned here with the sealing scroll.
"Here's what you need. Now, can you release the person?"
After inspecting it, Yuzuru smiled with satisfaction. "Of course, well then, farewell, Tsuchikage."
After saying that, he left with Uchiha Hikari.
At the same time, the ice pillars began to melt, and soon Roshi's body was exposed, falling towards the ground.
Han, having broken free of the Genjutsu, immediately caught him.
Kitsuchi looked at Ōnoki and said, " Lord Tsuchikage, did you really give him the method for training Dust Release? What if he spreads it around?"
"Do you really think anyone can learn Dust Release without guidance? Everyone knows Dust Release is powerful, just like everyone knows Flying Thunder God is powerful, but don't forget, being able to learn it is what makes it powerful; if you can't, it's just a piece of paper."
" Kekkei Tōta is not the same Kekkei Genkai."
