“Kazekage, find a way to restrain Uzumaki Shin. I’ll finish him off.”
Ōnoki said to the Third Kazekage, his voice serious.
The Kazekage snapped out of his shock, pushing aside his confusion about Shin’s Magnet Release for now. Dealing with Shin was the priority.
“Alright, Ōnoki. I hope you can do it.”
“Magnet Release: Iron Sand Cage!”
The Kazekage trapped Shin in a cage of Iron Sand.
He, the Raikage, and Hanzō then looked at Ōnoki, curious about his plan.
“Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!”
Ōnoki had used Dust Release on Shin before, but it had failed for some reason. This time, he was confident it would work.
The cube-shaped barrier enveloped the Iron Sand cage, disintegrating it instantly.
He didn’t believe Shin could survive that.
“Kazekage, behind you!”
Hanzō yelled, his eyes wide with alarm.
The Kazekage sensed the danger and dodged to the side, but a sword still pierced through his body.
“You’re too careless. Not paying attention to your surroundings? That’s how you get killed.”
Shin said calmly.
“How… how did you get behind me?”
The Kazekage asked with difficulty, staring at the sword protruding from his chest.
He had been trapped in the Iron Sand cage, then hit by that strange Jutsu from Ōnoki. He shouldn’t even exist anymore.
“Does it matter?”
Shin pulled out his Kusanagi sword.
With his Space-Time Ninjutsu, nothing could trap him. Unless it was a sealing Jutsu like the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei.
The Kazekage collapsed. He had dodged at the last moment, but he was still severely injured.
“One down.”
Shin glanced at the Kazekage, then turned his attention to the Raikage, Ōnoki, and Hanzō.
He had to finish this quickly.
Although the four Kage were occupied with him, that didn’t mean the Konoha forces could handle the Shinobi from the other four villages.
They were outnumbered. Even Hiruzen couldn’t do much against such overwhelming numbers.
And besides the Kage, there were other powerful Shinobi among the enemy ranks.
If Shin didn’t intervene, Konoha would be in serious trouble.
“Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique!”
Ōnoki used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to reduce his gravity, significantly decreasing his weight and enabling him to fly.
“You think you’re safe up there?”
Shin looked at the airborne Ōnoki, then used Yomotsu Hirasaka to teleport above him.
“Get down. I don’t like people looking down on me.”
Shin kicked Ōnoki in the back, and a cracking sound echoed through the air. Ōnoki screamed in pain.
“My back!”
He plummeted to the ground, landing in a crater. He was unconscious.
“Just a kick, and he’s out cold? That’s weak.” Shin looked at the unconscious Ōnoki. The Raikage was much more durable.
Speaking of the Raikage, he charged towards Shin, using his strongest attack, the Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite.
This was the Raikage’s ultimate spear. No one had ever been able to block it.
His right hand was still injured from his previous encounter with Shin, so he used his left middle finger.
Shin activated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and used the same Jutsu.
He hadn’t seen the Raikage use it, but the principle was the same as the Four-Finger Nukite, just with greater piercing power.
Shin wanted to see whose spear was stronger.
He was confident because he had Tenmomei. If he was injured, he could rewind time.
Their fingers collided. The Raikage was sent flying backwards, his left middle finger shattered. There was also a hole in his chest.
He collapsed, sweat dripping from his face as he endured the excruciating pain.
His finger was completely destroyed, and the wound on his chest was deep, almost reaching his heart.
“Raikage, your Hell Stab isn’t that impressive.”
Shin said, his left hand, the one he had used to clash with the Raikage, swollen like a carrot.
It was painful, but he maintained his composure.
He secretly used the Mystical Palm Jutsu and his Perfect Sage Body’s regenerative abilities to heal the injury.
It wasn’t a major injury. He could heal it quickly without using Tenmomei.
He did regret not using Sage Mode and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode together, though. He wouldn’t have been injured then.
“The Raikage’s out of commission. Now it’s just you, Hanzō.” Shin looked at Hanzō.
Ōnoki was unconscious, the Raikage was incapacitated, and the Third Kazekage was kneeling on the ground, tending to his wound.
Only Hanzō was still capable of fighting.
Hanzō took a deep breath, suppressing his urge to flee.
He would face Shin, Running away in shame was not an option.
And it might not even work. He might die faster if he tried to escape.
