Uchiha Ryun was amused. This time Danzō Shimura had scored big! He had cut off the arm of the future Fourth Hokage! This was something he could boast about for the rest of his life!
Rasa's screams only made the already irritable Third Kazekage even more annoyed. "Can you shut up?" He glared at Rasa, his face dark.
Rasa gritted his teeth. The look he gave the Third Kazekage was no longer one of respect, but of hatred. Why did you dodge? If you hadn't, maybe I wouldn't have ended up like this!
Now, he was disabled. The position of Kazekage was definitely out of his reach. Since he couldn't become Kazekage, why should he show any respect?
The Third Kazekage coldly glanced at him, then snorted and turned his attention to Danzō Shimura. He raised his right hand, channeled chakra, and sharp iron spikes shot toward Danzō. Danzō remained expressionless and simply waved his hand.
Orochimaru stepped forward, forming hand seals. Triple Rashōmon! Three massive gates erupted from the ground, two of them blocking the attack.
Orochimaru smirked. Danzō gave him an approving nod, then looked at Tsunade. She nodded back and charged forward, unleashing her taijutsu—Heavenly Foot of Pain!
The Third Kazekage's eyes flashed with mockery as he effortlessly dodged Tsunade's kick. The impact shattered the ground, causing Suna-nin to lose their footing.
Seizing the opportunity, the Third Kazekage raised his fingers, and iron sand gathered into arrows that shot toward Tsunade. It happened too fast. Neither Orochimaru nor Uchiha Ryun could react in time.
Thud! An iron sand arrow pierced Tsunade's shoulder. From Uchiha Ryun's angle, it looked like it had gone straight through her heart.
Tsunade cried out in pain and collapsed. The Third Kazekage wasn't about to let her go. He channeled more chakra, intending to pin her down and finish her off.
Uchiha Ryun's mind was flooded with the image of Tsunade's heart being pierced. He could no longer perceive his surroundings. Guilt, regret, brutality, bloodlust, madness, slaughter—these dark emotions overwhelmed him.
Tears of blood streamed from his eyes as he glared at the Third Kazekage. His three-tomoe Sharingan morphed into a six-pointed pattern, forming a new shape—the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Uchiha Ryun instantly teleported in front of Tsunade. The Third Kazekage froze for a moment, then recalled the intel. This was Uchiha Ryun, the genius among Konoha's elites. He must die too.
A massive iron sand spear formed in the sky, ready to impale them both. Uchiha Ryun roared, "Susanoo!"
A golden-red skeletal structure enveloped him and Tsunade—the first stage of Susanoo. The Third Kazekage's face darkened. Susanoo? The ancient texts mentioned Uchiha Madara wielded this power. This brat must die today!
Uchiha Ryun's expression turned icy. Susanoo's massive hand grabbed the iron sand spear and swung it horizontally. The sharp edge sliced through hundreds of Suna-nin, killing roughly five hundred in one sweep.
The Third Kazekage gasped. What kind of monster is this?! Just as he decided to retreat, Rasa suddenly appeared beside him.
Using Magnet Release: Gold Dust Binding, Rasa immobilized the Third Kazekage. The Kazekage stared at him in shock. Rasa smiled slightly and mouthed, "Go to hell."
Uchiha Ryun, now consumed by bloodlust, lifted the iron sand spear with Susanoo's hand and smashed it down on the Third Kazekage.
Boom! The Third Kazekage was crushed into the ground. His consciousness faded as memories flashed through his mind. Suddenly, he understood why he had ended up like this.
That woman… and that bastard… Hah, to think I, the strongest Kazekage, would be ruined by a woman and a traitor.
But Uchiha Ryun wasn't done. He kept slamming the iron sand spear down, over and over, until the Third Kazekage's body was reduced to a bloody pulp, staining the desert sand red.
Both Konoha-nin and Suna-nin paled at the sight.
Uchiha Ryun still wasn't satisfied. He discarded the spear, and Susanoo's hand formed a massive sword (tachi). With a single horizontal slash, thousands of Suna-nin were bisected instantly.
"Stop! Ryun! You've already won!" Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived, horrified. The usually gentle Uchiha Ryun now resembled a demon from hell.
"Ryun, that's enough!" Danzō Shimura swallowed hard. Though he enjoyed seeing Suna-nin slaughtered, even he was shocked by the scale of the massacre.
Over fifteen hundred had died by Uchiha Ryun's hand, including the so-called strongest Kazekage.
Uchiha Ryun ignored them. Susanoo's sword transformed into a massive hammer. He coldly stared at the Suna-nin, as if they were mere insects.
Just as the hammer was about to descend, Tsunade suddenly hugged him. "Ryun… Ryun, stop. It's enough. I'm fine. It only hit my arm."
Tsunade had just woken up and was stunned to see Uchiha Ryun slaughtering thousands. Realizing his unstable state, she immediately embraced him, trying to calm him down.
Uchiha Ryun's pupils contracted. The golden-red Susanoo dissipated, but his Mangekyō Sharingan remained active as he examined Tsunade's arm.
Seeing it wasn't a fatal wound, tears fell. He whispered, "This might hurt a little. Bear with it."
He gripped the arrow in her arm and pulled it out. Tsunade didn't scream, but her trembling told him she was enduring the pain for his sake.
A flash of fury crossed Uchiha Ryun's eyes, which Tsunade noticed. She held his hand and shook her head.
Uchiha Ryun sighed, then activated his left eye's Mangekyō ability—Revival!
Revival Effect: Instantly heals all injuries, even reverses death. Can only reverse death three times in a lifetime, but healing has no limit.
A golden glow enveloped Tsunade's wound. In seconds, it vanished without a trace, leaving her arm smooth and flawless as if never injured.
Tsunade blinked in amazement. Uchiha Ryun smiled weakly, then collapsed into her arms.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzō Shimura hurried over. Hiruzen asked nervously, "Is Ryun…?"
Tsunade's eyes softened. "He's fine. He just exhausted his chakra and ocular power. He passed out."
