“You want my Mangekyō Sharingan? Dream on! I’d rather destroy them than give them to you!”
Ryota glared at Shin with hatred.
“Destroy them? Go ahead then. Unless you don’t have the guts.”
Shin looked at Ryota calmly. He didn’t believe Ryota would destroy his own eyes. He was probably still hoping to escape.
“Shin, did you catch him?”
Kushina and Mikoto arrived, using the Body Flicker Jutsu.
Ryota’s eyes flashed as he saw them. He lunged at the girls, hoping to take them hostage.
Alas, He was underestimating them.
If he were at full strength, Kushina and Mikoto wouldn’t stand a chance against him, even together. But Ryota was exhausted.
His ocular power was almost depleted, and his Mangekyō Sharingan was barely active.
His Chakra was also low from using the Susanoo. He had lost an arm and couldn’t even form hand seals to use Ninjutsu. His current strength was less than that of an average Jōnin.
Kushina and Mikoto threw Kunai at Ryota, each with an explosive tag attached.
Boom!
Ryota was forced back by the explosions.
“Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu!”
Mikoto unleashed a fire dragon, shattering the surrounding trees.
“Damn it!”
Ryota cursed. These kids were strong! At their age, he had only been a Chunin.
He couldn’t use Jutsu, so he dodged the fire dragon.
But the attack’s range was wide. He was caught in the blast, suffering burns and crashing to the ground.
“Rasengan!”
Kushina appeared before him, a Rasengan aimed at his chest.
The Rasengan pierced through Ryota’s body, creating a gaping hole. Blood splattered the ground. Ryota’s eyes widened in shock.
Kushina quickly retreated, wary of a last-ditch attack. That blow should have destroyed his heart, but she wasn’t taking any chances.
Shin and Tsunade had taught her to be cautious.
“He’s dead.”
Shin approached and confirmed Ryota’s death.
His heart had been destroyed. Even Madara Uchiha would die from that. Well, the current Madara, not the Six Paths Madara.
Six Paths Madara was practically immortal. Even if his heart was destroyed, he could regenerate.
Ryota’s eyes were wide open, filled with regret.
He hadn’t even gotten his revenge on Danzō. And he regretted not destroying his eyes.
“This might be a bit gruesome. You can look away if you want,” Shin said to Kushina and Mikoto.
“Gruesome?” Kushina looked at him, puzzled.
“Yeah, his Mangekyō Sharingan might be almost depleted, but it’s still valuable.”
Kushina and Mikoto understood. He was going to take Ryota’s eyes.
“What’s so gruesome about that? We’ll watch.” Kushina didn’t think it was a big deal. They had seen worse on the battlefield.
“Fine.” Shin didn’t argue. He removed Ryota’s eyes and placed them in a jar filled with saline solution.
“A pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.” Shin was pleased. He wouldn’t admit that this was one of the reasons he had killed Ryota.
He looked at Ryota’s mangled body, then sealed it in a scroll.
“You’re not even letting the body go?” Mikoto said, surprised.
“I’m not ‘not letting it go.’ I’m recycling. It might be useful later,” Shin retorted.
He had initially planned to incinerate the body, but he changed his mind.
Ryota’s body could be used for the Edo Tensei.
The Edo Tensei required the target’s DNA and a living sacrifice. It was a cruel Jutsu, a testament to the Second Hokage’s ruthlessness.
“Let’s go,” Shin said.
“Shin, I killed him! I killed an S-rank missing-nin!”
Kushina said excitedly as they left.
“Don’t get too excited, Kushina. If Shin hadn’t weakened him, you wouldn’t have stood a chance,” Mikoto said.
“Mikoto, shouldn’t you be praising me?”
Kushina glared at Mikoto, then asked suspiciously, “Are you jealous?”
“There’s nothing to be jealous of. I’m just trying to keep you grounded,” Mikoto said.
“Mikoto, do you think I’m the type to get a big head?”
“Yes.”
Shin answered before Mikoto could.
“I’m not talking to either of you anymore!” Kushina stomped off ahead, leaving Shin and Mikoto behind.
Shin and Mikoto exchanged amused glances. Kushina, seeing this, slowed down and walked between them.
“Are we going back now?” Mikoto asked Shin.
“Yeah, we came here for Ryota. Now that he’s dealt with, let’s go back.”
“Back to the Land of Rain? I don’t like that place,” Kushina grumbled.
The gloomy weather was depressing. Even the people of the Land of Rain hated it.
