Shin watched as the Third Raikage puppet pummeled the Eight-Tails.
The visual impact was impressive, but The Eight-Tails wasn’t truly injured.
“Sealing Jutsu: Adamantine Sealing Chains!”
Countless chakra chains erupted from the puppet’s back, binding The Eight-Tails and wrapping it like a mummy.
“Sealing Jutsu is the best way to deal with Tailed Beasts,” Shin said with a faint smile.
Eight-Tails had the ability to escape by cutting off its tail, but after being wrapped up like a mummy, Eight-Tails had no way to use this ability.
“Raikage-sama, Killer B-sama, we’re here to save you.”
Suddenly—A group of Kumo Shinobi, led by Dodai, charged towards them. Dodai, a trusted advisor of the Third Raikage, was a veteran of Kumogakure.
“More flies buzzing around.”
Shin turned his head and glanced at them. There were quite a few people who came.
“Where’s the Raikage-sama?”
Dodai looked around and finally saw the Fourth Raikage, and then immediately ran towards the Fourth Raikage.
“Raikage-sama! Are you all right?”
A was unconscious and couldn’t answer.
“Medics! Tend to the Raikage!” Dodai yelled, relieved he’d brought medical Shinobi. Though not a medic himself, he could see A was on the verge of death.
“Raikage-sama’s injuries are very serious. He must be taken back to the village as soon as possible to save his life” a medic said grimly after examining A.
The injuries were too serious. The medical equipment here was not enough, and they could only use medical ninjutsu to barely alleviate it.
“Take him back to Kumogakure! If anything happens to him, you’ll pay with your lives!” Dodai ordered without hesitation.
“Trying to save someone on my watch? Did you ask me?” Shin’s voice was calm, but his gaze made Dodai tremble.
Originally, Dodai had a psychological shadow over Uzumaki Shin, but now that he met Shin’s gaze, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then he immediately lowered his head.
“Dodai-sama, isn’t that… the Third Raikage?” One of the Kumo Shinobi suddenly exclaimed, pointing.
“It is…” Dodai, familiar with the Third Raikage, recognized him instantly. He heard rumors of the Third Raikage’s reappearance.
It was precisely because of this news that Dodai chased after him out of worry after learning that the Fourth Raikage had left Kumogakure.
“No—he’s being controlled.” Dodai said seriously, his angry gaze fixed on Uzumaki Shin.
“Not controlled. He’s dead. I turned him into a puppet.” Shin said to Dodai calmly.
Shin’s casual revelation enraged the Kumo Shinobi even further.
Not only had he killed their Raikage, but he also desecrated his body.
“Soon you will all die too.” Shin wasn’t planning on letting them escape.
They saved the Fourth Raikage, but that was fine. Shin was too lazy to chase.
But as a price, these guys would die in place of the Fourth Raikage.
“Everyone, be careful!” Dodai shouted loudly.
Dodai knew Uzumaki Shin’s strength, but even if he didn’t want to be enemies at this time, he had no choice but to fight.
They had to rescue Killer B; the Eight-Tails was too important to Kumogakure.
“Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!”
A massive wall of flames, hundreds of meters wide, roared towards them, scorching the earth and igniting the surrounding trees. Shin’s version of the Jutsu was even stronger than Madara Uchiha’s.
“Is that even Ninjutsu?” Dodai felt a wave of despair.
This level of ninjutsu was really not something they could resist. The key was that they didn’t have many people who knew Water Release ninjutsu.
“Everyone, scatter!” Dodai shouted loudly. As for whether they could dodge this attack, Dodai didn’t know.
It was up to fate.
——
Minutes later, the flames subsided, leaving only a handful of Kumo Shinobi alive, their bodies covered in burns.
“We’re no match for him. RUN!!” Dodai sighed. Rescuing Killer B was impossible now. Not that he didn’t want to—he simply couldn’t.
“Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!”
Countless trees erupted from the earth, transforming the surrounding area into a dense forest within seconds.
Even the scorched earth couldn’t stop their growth.
The remaining Kumo Shinobi, including Dodai, were entangled, crushed, and absorbed by the trees.
Shin then turned his attention to the bound Eight-Tails.
“It’s your bad luck to provoke me.”
Chakra chains shot out from Shin’s hand, forcibly extracting The Eight-Tails from Killer B.
Shin glanced at Killer B, who had collapsed unconscious.
Normally, extracting a Tailed Beast meant death for the Jinchūriki—but as The Eight-Tails was pulled free, it left a single tail connected to Killer B, keeping him barely alive.
“Eight-Tails, you’re quite attached to him, aren’t you?”
“Shin Uzumaki, please spare him,” The Eight-Tails pleaded.
It knew it couldn’t demand anything from Shin, only strength granted that right. If it was strong enough, it wouldn’t be bound like this.
Shin glanced at Killer B.
Whether he lived or died was irrelevant to Shin.
“I don’t mind sparing him. But I expect your cooperation from now on. Of course, you don’t really have a choice.” Shin looked at The Eight-Tails, his Rinne-Tenseigan gleaming.
