The Chidori Sharp Spear cut down the heads of Kumo-nin one after another with an unstoppable force, while the Sage Art Fire Release techniques ignited one camp after another, causing massive chaos throughout the entire Kumo-nin encampment.
The Konoha-nin forces on the periphery took advantage of the situation to attack into the camp. Konoha had basically secured victory in this battle.
Ryun gripped the Third Raikage's corpse with one hand, then stood atop the highest point of the entire camp. His intimidating behavior was disastrous for the entire Kumogakure. Many Kumo-nin felt fear and despair in that moment.
He did not seize the opportunity to shout, nor did he focus his attention on anyone. The way he held the corpse with one hand seemed to carry a strong sense of humiliation.
"Eternal Daylight."
Taking advantage of some enemies who, blinded by hatred, lost their reason and looked into his eyes, Ryun did not hesitate to use his Mangekyō ocular technique again, expending more ocular power.
Screams of agony rose from below instantly. The fear and panic Ryun instilled in them reached its peak.
At the same time, the Black Dragon and the Two-Tails jinchuriki temporarily separated.
When the Two-Tails, still carrying Yuki Shinako's consciousness, saw the Third Raikage's body, she let out an emotional, out-of-control scream. She immediately mobilized all the chakra within her body, preparing for a final, desperate fight against the enemy!
Visible chakra gathered above its head.
Seeing the Two-Tails Matatabi preparing to unleash its ultimate technique, Ryun immediately used a Body Flicker Technique to jump onto the head of the Black Dragon.
"It's going to fire a Tailed Beast Bomb!" Ryun reminded the Black Dragon beneath him.
"Hmph, what's a Tailed Beast Bomb? Is it powerful? Then let it witness this lord's power!"
The Black Dragon was somewhat dismissive. As it spoke, a massive amount of terrifying white light gathered within its ferocious mouth.
This white light was entirely composed of condensed Senjutsu Chakra. Standing on the dragon's head, Ryun could clearly feel the terror of this energy.
Although the Black Dragon's charging seemed more restrained and far less flamboyant than that massive Tailed Beast Bomb, Ryun did not think the Black Dragon would lose.
Lord Black Dragon was a warmonger; it disliked others interfering in its fights, especially when battling large creatures.
So, he simply stayed on the dragon's head to prevent anyone from disturbing it, with no intention of helping it fight the Two-Tails.
"Be careful not to use too much force and kill it. This big kitty is still very useful to me!"
Seeing the Senjutsu energy in the Black Dragon's mouth gathering to an increasingly exaggerated degree, Ryun's eyelids twitched, and he felt compelled to remind it.
The Black Dragon merely glanced at him slightly, then directly unleashed the highly charged Senjutsu it had gathered in its mouth.
"Sage Art: True Dragon's Wrath!"
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
As the Two-Tails poured all its power into launching the Tailed Beast Bomb with great force, a dazzling, brilliant white beam of light instantly struck the oncoming Tailed Beast Bomb.
Their collision caused an extremely terrifying and violent explosion. In the instant the explosion occurred, the white beam shot straight through it, like a laser, directly toward the Two-Tails Matatabi.
At this moment, the Two-Tails Matatabi completely failed to anticipate that the light beam could penetrate the Tailed Beast Bomb. Facing the devastating beam, it momentarily forgot to dodge or defend.
Seeing death approaching, it instinctively closed its eyes.
At the critical moment, the white light beam shifted its trajectory slightly. The attack originally aimed at its head instantly grazed off one of the Two-Tails' cat ears and a small portion of its skull.
"Roar!!!"
The Two-Tails Matatabi let out a painful scream. Its massive body fell to the ground the next moment, thrashing violently.
However, its cries were ultimately drowned out by the sound of the explosion.
The violent explosion within the Kumo-nin encampment accelerated their defeat. Leaderless, their defensive positions were quickly overrun. A group of elite Konoha-nin successfully fought their way to Ryun at this time.
Among the arrivals were Tsunade, and even Uchiha Fugaku leading many members of the Uchiha clan.
When these people arrived, they happened to see Ryun force the Two-Tails Matatabi to shrink back into the jinchuriki's body. Yuki Shinako also fell unconscious due to her severe injuries.
They not only witnessed the defeat of the Two-Tails jinchuriki, but the corpse hanging from the Black Dragon's horn also stunned everyone present.
"The... The Third Raikage! He... he was also... killed!!!"
Someone stammered the words. This was the first Kage to die since the Second Great Ninja War, and it was the strongest Raikage who had dominated the ninja world for years!
Ryun merely glanced at the Konoha group, then went straight to Yuki Shinako.
He reached out, tore open Yuki Shinako's clothing, exposing the jinchuriki sealing formula on her abdomen.
"Don't just stand there. Continue clearing out the enemy forces, expand our gains! Also, immediately spread the news of the Third Raikage's death, force the Kumo-nin troops to surrender..."
Tsunade decisively issued a series of combat orders. The battle wasn't over yet. The reason they had rushed here so quickly was actually out of concern for Ryun's safety.
After all, the act of one person and one dragon charging into the heart of the enemy was far too reckless.
Fortunately, the result was unexpected. Not only did Ryun not need any help, but he had also successfully eliminated the two most threatening Kumo-nin enemy leaders.
After dispersing the people around, Tsunade also went straight to Ryun's side.
Ryun stared at the sealing formula, lost in thought, which made her very curious. The action the young man took next shocked her greatly.
She saw white light flash in Ryun's palm, which then struck Yuki Shinako's abdomen fiercely.
As a burst of white light emerged, the seal on Yuki Shinako's abdomen immediately became disordered. The sealing formulae, resembling tadpoles, instantly turned into a pool of black ink.
The roars of a wild beast could be heard transmitting through the black ink.
"Ryun! Are you trying to release the Tailed Beast?"
Tsunade suddenly grabbed Ryun's arm, her eyes filled with horror.
Ryun glanced at her coldly and nodded slightly.
"No! We've already won the war. Releasing the Tailed Beast now could cause the situation to spiral out of control at any moment!"
Tsunade did not understand why Ryun would choose to release the Tailed Beast at such a time. Such an action was not conducive to the development of the situation.
"Out of control? You worry too much. If I can defeat it once, I can defeat it a second time." Ryun was completely unmoved by her advice.
As he exerted force with his palm, the next moment, a Two-Tailed giant cat covered in blue demon flames was forcibly pulled out by him.
The beast had tried to hide within the seal, attempting to preserve Yuki Shinako's life, but this effort was clearly in vain. The moment it left her body, Yuki Shinako's breath ceased entirely.
This woman was already very old, and coupled with the severe injuries sustained in battle, once the Tailed Beast was extracted, she could no longer hold on.
"Bastard! You damnable fellow!" The Two-Tails Matatabi looked down at the young man below, furious.
However, compared to its anger and Tsunade's panic, Ryun remained extremely calm.
He formed a single hand seal with one hand, and the Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes directly met the gaze of the Two-Tails Matatabi.
"Beast... submit to my will!"
