----------
Above the city wall, Minato's golden hair danced in the wind. His gaze was sharp as a blade, instantly locking onto Killer Bee's movements.
"Don't even think about it!" he shouted, and his figure vanished.
Flying Thunder God!
The Golden Flash arrived first, instantly appearing in Killer Bee's path, firmly blocking his way!
As the Hokage, he was the village's strongest defense.
Just as Minato was about to intercept, a figure appeared between him and Killer Bee without any warning.
No chakra fluctuations, no high-speed afterimages.
Even Minato's Flying Thunder God seemed slow at this moment.
Shin's figure stood in front of him, his back to Minato, facing the charging Killer Bee.
"I told you," his calm voice clearly reached Minato's ears, "you just need to watch."
Minato's hand seals froze in mid-air.
What? How could he be faster than Flying Thunder God?
The next instant, under everyone's gaze, Shin extended his hand, pressing it directly toward Killer Bee.
He was being looked down on!
"Roar!" Killer Bee roared like a beast.
His eyes beneath his sunglasses instantly narrowed, and the tailed beast's chakra was completely released.
Four tails instantly surged, transforming into fierce chakra claws that grabbed at Shin from four directions, intending to tear him to pieces!
However, that hand ignored distance, ignoring his wild chakra.
It simply landed on his head.
Buzz!
For an instant, time itself seemed to stop.
Killer Bee's furious charge instantly halted.
The four massive chakra claws shattered like bubbles before they even touched Shin, scattering into red bits of light.
"Wha... what?!"
His pupils under the sunglasses shrank sharply.
The power pressing down from his head prevented him from moving even an inch.
His proud strength, the tailed beast's chakra capable of leveling mountains, made him completely helpless under this single palm. He didn't even have the right to struggle!
"Get down."
Shin used a bit of force, pushing with his palm.
Boom!
In an instant, Killer Bee was slammed violently into the ground!
A huge tremor!
A deep pit, tens of meters across, appeared. Spider web-like cracks spread wildly in all directions!
The terrible shockwave turned into white air currents, blowing away everything nearby!
In the center of the deep pit, Killer Bee's tailed beast cloak shattered inch by inch. The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible. His entire body was pressed into the earth in a spread-eagle position. Blood instantly stained the ground beneath him. His fate was unknown.
One palm.
To hold down the Eight-Tails jinchuriki!
On the city wall, all the Konoha higher-ups' mouths hung open. Their minds went blank.
That was a perfect jinchuriki!
That was the Eight-Tails, capable of directly fighting the Fourth Hokage!
And he was smacked down with a single palm?
"Watch!" Shin glanced sideways, smiling at Minato. "This is my show now!"
"Uh..." Minato was speechless.
"Bee!"
A sad roar pulled everyone's thoughts back.
The Fourth Raikage A's eyes were bloodshot. Blood vessels instantly covered his eyeballs, making him look like a madman.
His younger brother, his only family, had been slammed into the ground by that man in such a disrespectful and shameful way!
Shame!
Rage!
An endless killing intent instantly ate up his reason!
"Damn you!"
Lightning flashed!
He pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit. The blue lightning around him almost became solid.
His entire being transformed into a blue lightning bolt, carrying an aura of destruction, and charged toward Shin!
"Lightning Release..!"
"Oh?" Looking at A's wild state, Shin smiled. "Do you also wish to dance?"
At the same time, in the deep pit, Killer Bee struggled to his feet with violent coughing, spitting blood.
If the Eight-Tails hadn't protected his heart at the last moment, that palm would have killed him!
Seeing his brother charging forward recklessly, he quickly drew two swords from his back.
"Big brother!"
With a roar, Killer Bee instantly squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body, also transforming into a red lightning bolt.
The two brothers, their hearts connected.
At this moment, they bet the honor of Kumogakure, the bond of brotherhood, everything!
Blue and red lightning came together in mid-air!
"Lariat!"
The strongest combined technique!
Terrible power transformed into a beam of light, striking fiercely toward Shin's neck!
"Brothers dancing together!"
Facing this world-destroying attack, Shin's smile widened.
He didn't dodge. He simply raised his hand.
Clang!
The clash of metal rang out.
That lariat, capable of tearing through anything, was firmly blocked by two fingers.
The wild lightning release chakra was destroyed at his fingertips.
The destructive impact faded into nothingness.
Time stopped.
A and Killer Bee remained in their charging positions, their faces filled with horror.
Their strongest attack, their all-in attack, was blocked by two fingers each?
In the distant dense forest, Obito's Sharingan beneath his mask spun wildly, almost bleeding.
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"
He spoke in disbelief, his voice full of shock.
This kind of power...
"Obito, hurry and go!"
Black Zetsu's voice rang out, carrying clear terror.
"This man is wrong!"
"He's not a strong person who should exist in this world!"
"Go, Obito! The Eye of the Moon Plan must not have any problems!"
"We must leave here immediately! And make plans for the long term!"
Black Zetsu felt a crisis he had never experienced before.
This Land of Fire daimyo, this strange power, had gone beyond all his thousand-year-long schemes!
If he didn't leave now, even he might be in danger!
Facing Black Zetsu's panic, Obito didn't care.
His gaze was fixed on the golden figure on the distant city wall.
Minato, his teacher.
At this moment, Minato's entire attention was drawn by the daimyo's power, leaving him no time to spare for anything else.
This was an opportunity.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Plan?"
Obito's voice was rough, tinged with madness.
"Compared to that, I'd rather let this fake world experience pain in advance!"
His body began to twist. Space swirled into a whirlpool, instantly swallowing him up.
"Obito! You're crazy!"
Black Zetsu's shriek echoed in the empty forest, receiving no further response.
In Konoha, on the street leading to the shelter, the crowd was evacuating in an orderly way, organized by Konoha shinobi.
Rumble!
A violent roar came from the direction of the city wall, causing many civilians' faces to turn pale.
Panic spread through the crowd, and they picked up their pace without meaning to.
Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto were mixed in with the crowd, helping evacuate the elderly and children.
Both of them wore loose casual clothes, but their slightly swollen bellies still showed they were pregnant.
"Kushina, don't worry," Uchiha Mikoto gently comforted her friend, noticing her tension. "Minato is the Hokage, and the daimyo is here. Nothing will happen."
"I know," Kushina said, stroking her belly. Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed beneath her red hair. "But the noise is too loud. I always feel uneasy, as if something bad is about to happen."
As the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, her perception of bad feelings far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Just then, in an alleyway not far behind them, a shadow strangely twisted, and a figure wearing a spiral mask came out from it.
Looking at the distant Kushina, and her slightly swollen belly, in his eyes, there was endless coldness and hatred.
Minato.
You also had a hand in Rin's death.
You took everything from me.
Then I will destroy everything you love most!
He slowly raised his hand.
In his palm, space began to twist, and a dark whirlpool formed, spinning silently.
Die.
Along with your unborn child!
Killing intent gathered, about to strike.
"Stop!"
An old voice rang out.
Then, another playful voice. "Heh, there really is a rat!"
