Shin looked at the Third Kazekage, whose eyes were bloodshot with hatred.
‘It’s just a camp. Is it really that big of a deal?’
If the Kazekage knew what Shin was thinking, he might explode.
Actually, he was already about to explode.
Shin looked at Shukaku, who was still under his control.
“Go take care of that four-legged fish.”
Shin directed Shukaku towards the salamander.
With a single swipe of its tail, the One-Tail sent the salamander flying, breaking its legs.
Hanzō winced and dispelled his summon.
“Shukaku, crush them! Don’t forget, they’re the Suna bastards you hate so much!” Shin yelled.
The One-Tail stomped towards Chiyo and Ebizo, who narrowly escaped with the Body Flicker Jutsu.
“Wind Style: Wind Cutter!”
Ebizo, after dodging the One-Tail’s attack, launched a wind blade at Shin.
“That won’t work.”
Shin activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. A dark crack appeared before him, swallowing the wind blade.
He had used Yomotsu Hirasaka to send the attack to another dimension.
If Kaguya Ōtsutsuki hadn’t been so stupid, she could have been invincible with just Yomotsu Hirasaka.
But Shin’s Yomotsu Hirasaka was probably different from Kaguya’s. It consumed less Chakra and ocular power.
“What was that?”
Ebizo’s eyes widened. He hadn’t seen Shin form any hand seals. That black crack had simply appeared and swallowed his attack.
But he soon realized it wasn’t just a simple absorption.
Another black crack appeared behind him, and the wind blade emerged from it.
“Look out!”
Chiyo sensed the danger and pulled Ebizo out of the way.
The wind blade grazed Ebizo’s chest. He looked down at the wound, his face pale.
It was only a few centimeters from his heart. He would have been killed if it weren’t for Chiyo.
“Too bad. I almost killed a Kage-level Shinobi.”
Shin shook his head in mock disappointment.
Ebizo might only be a low-Kage, but he was still a Kage. Killing him would have been a significant achievement.
But Chiyo had ruined it. Ebizo might have survived, but he was severely injured.
“Brother, are you alright?” Chiyo glared at Shin, then turned to Ebizo with concern.
“I’m fine.”
Ebizo’s pale face betrayed his words.
“Watch out for that technique,” the Third Kazekage warned Hanzō.
He was also feeling a chill. If Shin used that technique on him, he might not be able to dodge.
Hanzō didn’t reply, but he was on high alert, wary of any attacks from behind.
He didn’t know what that technique was, but that made it even more terrifying.
“Your eyes… Is that the Mangekyō Sharingan?”
Chiyo asked, her voice filled with disbelief.
The Kazekage and Hanzō immediately focused on Shin’s eyes. Hanzō’s expression turned grim.
He had seen Madara Uchiha’s Mangekyō Sharingan before. The pattern was different, but he recognized it.
The Kazekage was too young to recognize it, but he had heard of its power.
“It’s not the Mangekyō Sharingan,” Shin said calmly.
It was the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, but few knew of its existence.
Even Tsunade didn’t know about it.
“Retreat!”
Chiyo didn’t believe Shin. She grabbed the injured Ebizo and fled.
She was fast, but Hanzō was even faster!
The Kazekage, seeing them flee, had no choice but to follow. He was no match for Shin.
And there was also the One-Tail.
“Damn it! I wasn’t even serious, and you’re running?!”
Shin stared at the fleeing Kage, dumbfounded. He hadn’t even attacked yet.
“Come back! You left your dignity behind! Don’t you want it back?” Shin yelled after them.
But they were already gone. Shin sighed and decided not to pursue.
He had to get back for Mikoto’s dinner.
He climbed onto the One-Tail’s head and directed it back to the Konoha camp.
He had let them escape because he didn’t want to kill them. If they died, Konoha might actually destroy Suna.
Shin didn’t want that.
Konoha needed external enemies. Without them, internal conflicts would arise, and he might get caught in the crossfire.
His strength was a threat to Hiruzen’s position. Shin wasn’t interested in becoming Hokage, but he didn’t want to disrupt the balance of power.
The Third Kazekage and the others ran for a long time before finally stopping. Seeing that Shin wasn’t pursuing them, they sighed in relief.
“I know the Mangekyō Sharingan is powerful, but did we really have to run like that?” the Kazekage grumbled.
He hadn’t wanted to retreat, but Chiyo and Hanzō had fled. He was no match for Shin alone.
And there was also the One-Tail..
