"Hey, idiot, are you sure you can actually pull this off?"
Uchiha Hikari crouched on a tree branch, sensing the growing number of shinobi around them, and began to harbor doubts about what this guy was about to attempt.
Thanks to the efforts of Pain and Konan—combined with the allure of the Samsara Eye—the two had successfully drawn the attention of everyone who had arrived in the area within less than half an hour.
Thousands of shinobi were now converging on their location.Even with her formidable power, Uchiha Hikari couldn't guarantee she could kill everyone present alone using only Ninjutsu without relying on her ocular abilities.
After all, enemies wouldn't foolishly stand still waiting to die. At the first encounter, the smarter ones would surely devise counterasures and tactics to fight back.
While Kaito indeed possessed space-ti Ninjutsu, he hadn't mastered any powerful offensive techniques.
Even if he used Fire Release, once he drew the enemies' attention, counterasures would erge before long. If they got surrounded afterward…
The odds would be grim.
Hikari believed the safest approach would be to swiftly eliminate everyone with the help of Pain and Konan, combined with her own intervention.
"Of course." Kaito smirked mysteriously and patted the cage on his back. "My Lightning Release is unmatched."
Hikari pressed her lips together, glancing at the cage on him, hesitating once more.
She scrutinized her closed-door disciple with deep suspicion.
"I rember…"
"You don't know Lightning Release, do you?"
She muttered under her breath, then glanced at Pain and Konan approaching from the distance.
"Don't push yourself in this situation."
She paused briefly, her gaze lingering on the Lightning Release ninjas charging toward them, and snorted, feigning reluctance.
"If you beg … I might reluctantly lend you a hand."
"At least I won't let you die in such an ugly way."
In Hikari's view, no matter how strong Kaito's Lightning Release was, compared to those ninjas cloaked in Lightning Release Chakra, it was unlikely to deal any fatal damage.
"Can't you say sothing more auspicious?"
With the Heavenly Tribulation approaching, Kaito was feeling a bit tense. Hearing Hikari casually ntion death made his eyelids twitch.
"Hmph!"
Whoosh—
As they spoke, Pain and Konan descended from the sky, landing on the tree where the two stood.
"It's ti to act." Pain's tone dripped with disdain for mortals. Even if the enemy numbered in the thousands, it didn't stop him from looking down on them all.
A god was invincible.
However, he didn't expect Kaito to wipe them all out instantly.
If necessary, he could always sacrifice so lifespan to unleash a Super Almighty Push and annihilate them.
Kaito nodded, checked the Heavenly Tribulation countdown in his system, and fully activated his sensory perception.
His current location was already 50 kiloters from Agakure, with no traces of civilians nearby. He didn't have to worry about accidentally harming Nagato's people while enduring the tribulation here.
To ensure nothing was missed, he expanded his senses once more.
Fortunately, the appearance of Pain's Samsara Eyes reignited the greed of the retreating ninjas, who roared and charged toward their position.
The only sha was that the Kage of the three villages weren't present.
There weren't many Konoha shinobi on the battlefield, and Danzo's Root operatives were scarcely seen, but Kaito didn't pay it much mind.
Before Shisui left earlier, he had vowed to settle things with Danzo and reclaim his stolen eye.
Beyond the gathered ninjas, Kaito also detected hundreds of White Zetsu lurking underground.
"Runtu, they're yours." Kaito dropped his backpack and pointed at the three before him, signaling that they should be teleported away later.
Then, he spoke sternly to them, "Hurry and retreat. Once I start my technique, I can't guarantee you won't get caught in the crossfire."Kaito spoke with an imposing deanor, fully embodying the spirit of soone ready to face death—even ntally conjuring the solemn scene of "the wind howling, the river cold."
At least, that's what he believed.
But right now, with his body encased in a bizarre cage-like contraption and two long-faced sunflowers perched on his shoulders, he looked anything but intimidating.
Even Nagato, who was secretly controlling Pain from the shadows, had steeled himself to unleash a Super Almighty Push.
"I'm off."
With those final words, Kaito pulled two shuriken from his ninja pouch and lightly tossed them onto the ground in front of him. Silently activating his Sword Control Technique, the two shuriken emitted a faint hum before hovering in midair. Without hesitation, Kaito adjusted the cage on his body, carefully stepped onto the shuriken, and—hands clasped behind his back—soared into the sky.
Konan and Nagato stared in stunned silence as the boy rode the shuriken toward the battlefield.
The Uchiha clan's shurikenjutsu was indeed renowned throughout the Shinobi World.
But this… novel application of shurikenjutsu?
This was truly the first ti they'd ever seen anything like it.
"Don't look at !!"
Once again sensing their gazes, Uchiha Hikari reacted like a startled cat, her entire body bristling as she shouted loudly.
"This ninjutsu has nothing to do with !"
Perhaps out of concern for her clan's reputation, she quickly added, "And it has nothing to do with the Uchiha either!"
"A… very interesting technique," Konan finally remarked after a long pause, though it was unclear whether she ant it as praise or criticism.
After watching for a few more seconds, the three of them left the scene via Runtu's teleportation.
anwhile, Kaito—flying high above everyone—was impossible to miss due to his conspicuous outfit. Nearly every person on the battlefield looked up at the strange figure in the sky.
"Huh!? Wait… am I seeing things, or is that guy standing on shuriken?"
A ninja's eyesight was far sharper than an ordinary person's, and they imdiately noticed that the figure in the sky was balancing on two shuriken.
The sight left many scratching their heads in confusion. So even pulled out their own shuriken and tossed them to the ground, clearly curious about this mysterious technique.
"Tsk!"
"Which village is this guy from?! They actually have a shuriken technique like this?"
"Shuriken-Riding Technique, huh? Pretty neat!"
Quite a few were impressed.
After all, flight-capable ninjutsu was exceedingly rare in the Shinobi World. So even took the liberty of giving the technique a straightforward, if crude, na—much to Kaito's rising blood pressure as he hovered above them.
His foolish younger brother naming his technique "Dog Clone" was one thing…
But these people had no taste either!?
Taking a deep breath, Kaito decisively opened his system interface. Perhaps fueled by irritation, he tapped the "Tribulation" button without a second thought.
"Let's go, let's go! No need to bother with small fry! Keep pursuing the Akatsuki leader!"
Kaito: ….?
The ninjas from various villages knew the urgency of their mission. After a few more seconds of staring at the figure in the sky, they quickly rallied their subordinates and resud their pursuit.
But before they could take two steps, a furious roar echoed in everyone's ears.
"Today, I shall defy the heavens!!"
BOOM—
