Facing the glare of Raikage A, Kakashi's expression returned to its usual indifferent calm.
The Sharingan was crimson and eerie, the three rotating tomoe seemingly radiating mental pressure...
The other Cloud Ninjas in the office were instantly immobilized, frozen in place by this mental force.
However, in that split second, Raikage Ai roared!
His body suddenly erupted with terrifying lightning chakra, and he rushed towards Kakashi at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to follow, like a blinding bolt of lightning!
He had to take action.
Otherwise, the other Cloud Ninja in the village would be traumatized and have a negative view of the Sharingan...
As a qualified Kage, the Raikage threw a punch!
"You guys from Konoha, don't be so arrogant!"
In an instant, a fist covered in lightning shot straight toward Kakashi's chest.
Kakashi reacted quickly, unleashing a Wind Release: Ninja Taijutsu, which instantly condensed the surrounding air into a visible vortex of wind blades!
It tightly wrapped around his body, forming an invisible barrier.
Lightning and wind blades collided violently in mid-air, creating a powerful and awe-inspiring shockwave.
boom!
Amidst the deafening roar, Kakashi, wielding a sword in one hand, thrust it out with lightning speed, the blade tracing a strange and cunning arc.
Raikage A did not back down at all. He suddenly condensed a lightning blade in his right hand and met Kakashi's blade.
boom! ! !
Lightning and wind blades clashed fiercely once again!
The entire Raikage's office exploded instantly, with rubble and wood chips flying everywhere. The surrounding Cloud Ninja retreated, almost unable to get close to the core area where the two were fighting.
Despite the intense impact, Kakashi remained firmly in place, his expression unchanged.
Raikage A felt a slight discomfort in his body, and a strange pain came from his chakra meridians.
It's obvious that Wind Release counters Lightning Release; that's evident from the very first exchange.
The cutting power affected the Raikage.
Clenching his teeth, he suddenly increased his lightning power once again, his speed and strength bursting forth. His fists and palms intertwined, stirring up bursts of lightning as he attacked Kakashi like a ferocious beast.
Kakashi, however, remained calm and unhurried, his hands quickly forming hand seals: Water Release: Rainstorm!
As he formed hand seals, a sudden downpour of icy rain fell from the sky, instantly covering the entire battle zone.
Gusts of wind swirled around the raindrops, instantly transforming the entire battlefield into a frigid, bone-chilling realm.
As Raikage A's fist came crashing down again, Kakashi calmly raised his palm, the power of Wind Release gathering in his hand like a sharp blade.
He effortlessly deflected Raikage Ai's fierce attack.
The clash of wind and thunder sent a chill, sharp as a knife, rapidly spreading along Lei Ying's arm...
In the blink of an eye, half of his body was frozen solid in the frost.
Raikage A froze. Although he wasn't seriously injured, the situation was undoubtedly extremely embarrassing for him. His pride as Raikage made his face turn extremely ugly.
He quickly shattered the ice shards.
Kakashi took a few steps back and stared calmly at A.
"I apologize for my earlier remarks. I'm only here to deliver an invitation. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way, Raikage." With that, Kakashi turned and prepared to leave without hesitation.
At this moment, dozens of Cloud Ninja who had already gathered outside the Raikage's office surrounded him, their faces filled with obvious hostility, seemingly wanting to block Kakashi's path.
Seeing this situation, Kakashi slowly drew his long sword from its sheath, the cold blade radiating a chilling aura.
The crimson Sharingan coldly swept over the crowd, and the surroundings were deathly silent; no one dared to take another step.
Lei Yingai felt a surge of unease in his heart. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke in a low voice:
"Make way, let him go."
With the Raikage's deep command, the Cloud Ninja made way for Kakashi. Although they were unwilling, none of them dared to stop him.
Kakashi sheathed his sword and strode out of Kumogakure with firm and composed steps, leaving everyone watching his figure gradually disappear into the distance.
Raikage Ai's gaze was deep and complex at this moment. Everything that had just happened was nothing more than a test for him to probe the current state of Konoha.
But the strength that Kaka showed in the West was truly beyond his expectations.
"Has Konoha really become so strong because of the Second Hokage's resurrection?"
Ai muttered to herself, a hint of hesitation and worry flashing in her eyes.
Outside the Raikage's office, the wind howled, gray clouds hung low, and the oppressive atmosphere was so suffocating that it was almost impossible to breathe.
At this moment, Kakashi, who was already far away from Kumogakure, let out a long sigh of relief. The frustration in his heart was slightly relieved, but his brows were still furrowed, and the worry and pain deep in his eyes had never lessened.
Obito.
Kakashi looked worried...
It's obvious that his biggest worry right now is Obito's situation.
Amegakure Village has been reduced to ruins, a once familiar village now a scene of devastation.
Now only broken walls and ruins remain, filled with an atmosphere of anxiety and desolation, resembling a bleak scene after the apocalypse.
In the center of the ruins, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Kuro, Kakuzu, and other members of the Akatsuki organization had silently gathered together, each with an extremely strange and complex expression.
Kakuzu's gaze swept across the ruins before settling on Nagato, his eyes filled with a rare look of astonishment and shock:
"Is this... the leader's true strength? To be able to fight the masked man to this extent..."
Jie remained silent, coldly surveying the devastation around him with a calm expression, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.
Although Nagato's injuries had healed considerably, his face still showed obvious fatigue and haggardness.
He turned to look at Jiraiya beside him, felt the teacher's concerned gaze, and gently shook his head to indicate that he was alright.
"I'm alright now, Jiraiya-sensei."
Jiraiya gazed at Nagato with a complex expression. After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke, "Nagato...why don't you go back to Konoha with Konan? Perhaps they can offer you some protection there..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kisame Hoshigaki interrupted, "Konoha, can they really still take in so many rogue ninja?"
One sentence instantly hit the nail on the head regarding the pain point in reality, leaving Jiraiya speechless, his face awkward and embarrassed, unable to continue speaking.
Nagato then slightly raised his head, gazing at the dilapidated village, a hint of indescribable weariness appearing in his eyes.
Most of the villagers of Amegakure perished in this catastrophe. The small number of surviving villagers and ninjas have been relocated by Konan to other parts of the Land of Rain for refuge.
As the leader of Amegakure, Nagato suffered a far greater pain in his heart than in his physical injuries after being so severely wounded.
After a long silence, Nagato finally spoke slowly...
"Jiraiya-sensei, during the battle with the masked man just now, I sensed a peculiar genjutsu power. He... seemed to be trying to forcibly control me with his Mangekyou Sharingan."
As soon as Nagato spoke, everyone around him became serious, especially Itachi Uchiha, whose eyes narrowed slightly as if he had thought of some important information.
"But fortunately, after absorbing the White Zetsu cells, I sensed that a certain resistance force seemed to have been generated within my body. This force was able to suppress that special contract illusion to a certain extent."
Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu was also taken aback: "White Zetsu cells... can slow down the control of the Sharingan?"
"The mechanisms of the Rinnegan and Sharingan may be different. White Zetsu cells can help me resist and control the Mangekyou Sharingan to some extent."
Uchiha Itachi silently memorized these key pieces of information.
Black Zetsu was also thinking about this...
"Teacher, please take this information back to Konoha...it might be helpful in dealing with Uchiha Abyss and the masked man."
Jiraiya paused slightly upon hearing this, then nodded heavily: "What about you, Nagato, Konan... are you really not planning to leave here?"
"Teacher, the Land of Rain will always be our homeland. It is where everything we have started, and it is the place we must stay. No matter what happens, Konan and I will never leave here."
Hearing Nagato's firm reply, Jiraiya felt a deep sense of helplessness and heartache, but he also understood that Nagato and Konan's determination could not be easily shaken.
"I understand, Nagato..."
Jiraiya sighed softly, his gaze gentle yet revealing an undisguised bitterness; there was nothing he could actually do.
"If you need anything, please let me know... Konoha and I will do our best to help you."
Nagato gave a faint smile, his eyes filled with respect for his teacher: "Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei. But from now on, perhaps we Akatsuki will have to solve this problem ourselves."
At this moment, Kisame, Kakuzu, and Itachi all turned their gazes toward Nagato.
Although Amegakure has been completely reduced to ruins, as long as Nagato is alive and the Akatsuki organization exists, they still have the potential to change the fate of the ninja world.
"Everyone."
"Although Amegakure is destroyed, these two Rinnegan still exist... We now bear the responsibility of saving the world, surpassing even the Five Great Shinobi Villages..."
Jiraiya watched all this silently, a mix of indescribable emotions welling up inside him.
Border of the Land of Water.
As the mist slowly dissipated, a figure gradually emerged from the hazy fog.
Beneath Obito's pale mask, his two Sharingan eyes gleamed with an eerie crimson light.
After the battle in Amegakure, his injuries had largely healed, and the chakra and cell activity brought by the Dry Wood Release allowed him to quickly return to his peak condition.
Just then, a heavy footstep slowly broke the silence.
Danzo, holding a black cane, slowly emerged from the thick fog.
His aged face, however, revealed a strange youthful aura at this moment.
"Danzo?"
What are you doing here?
Danzo did not respond immediately, but instead took slow steps and gradually approached Obito, speaking slowly in a somber voice.
"I wanted to confirm with you about the Fourth Shinobi World War. Is it necessary to contact the Hidden Cloud Village, Hidden Stone Village, and Hidden Sand Village to form a united front against Konoha?"
Upon hearing this, Obito paused slightly, seemingly considering the feasibility of the solution proposed in Danzo's words.
Do the five great ninja villages fight amongst themselves?
He took a small step forward, just about to speak in response...
But in that split second!
Danzo's eyes suddenly turned icy cold, his murderous gaze piercing out like a sharp sword. His cane instantly transformed into a fierce black shadow, aiming straight for Obito's vital points!
In that instant, the bizarre Jumang twin blades, formed by the fusion of the Hugu vein and the withered wood, pierced through the blood mist, and killing intent instantly enveloped the entire area!
Obito instantly intangible himself, his figure dodging the fatal blow in the blink of an eye, and reappearing several meters away with great danger.
He steadied himself and questioned in a cold tone, "Danzo, what do you mean by this?"
However, Danzo ignored his questioning and instead slowly raised his hand with a cold smile...
In the palm of his hand, a strange Mangekyou Sharingan slowly opened—it was Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan!
A strange, crimson light spread wildly, and the blinding blood-red light instantly swept across the entire battlefield, with a thick, eerie blood mist filling the surrounding space.
Upon hearing this, Danzo simply raised his hand slowly, unwrapped the bandage from his right eye, revealing a strange and sinister Mangekyou Sharingan, and released countless scarlet lights from his entire body.
Even though Obito took away 30% of his eye power, Danzo's demeanor was still extremely domineering!
"Ha, all I'll do is take your head..."
In an instant, Danzo's figure accelerated, flashing through the thick fog like a ghost, heading straight for Obito.
Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan spun violently, and four Kamui dimensions suddenly opened, attempting to completely tear Danzo apart.
However, Danzo had no intention of confronting the enemy head-on. He plunged his strange Jumang twin swords into the ground, unleashing a torrent of violent chakra!
"Withered Tree Release: Descent of the Tree World!"
What?!
In an instant, the once peaceful ground suddenly cracked open, revealing countless eerie, pale, and withered giant trees, like the skeletal hands of the dead from hell!
It burst forth ferociously from underground, instantly blotting out the sky and covering the earth.
A chilling and eerie atmosphere permeated the surroundings, as if the entire world was completely occupied by these strange, withered wooden skeletons.
With the combination of Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) and Kakujutsu (Dry Wood Release), Danzo's physical body had already reached an unbelievable level of power, and his terrifying killing intent was almost tangible.
Danzo stood atop the stark white bones, his face now appearing unusually fierce.
His cold gaze was fixed on Obito, his hands gripping the Jumang twin swords tightly. The withered tree release materialized into countless strange tree branches, which frantically pierced into Obito's arms and muscles, completely merging into his flesh and blood.
Having abandoned all ninjutsu and genjutsu, Danzo now intends to tear Obito to shreds with the purest and most brutal taijutsu.
To seize the square-shaped Sharingan that belonged to Uchiha Awakening.
As Obito stared at Danzo at that moment, he also felt an extremely strong killing desire rising from the depths of his heart!
Obito also harbored a strong, intense greed for Danzo's unprecedentedly powerful physical strength.
As if drawn to each other... they devour and kill one another.
