"Danger, danger, danger!"
"Itachi-san, hurry!"
Kisame was practically shouting himself hoarse.
His massive body burst forward with a speed completely incompatible with his size.
He was like a moving mountain.
He crashed straight into the path Uchiha Itachi was charging down and forcibly stopped him.
Then, without giving him any chance to object, his thick arm wrapped around Itachi's slender, frail waist.
He hoisted him up and turned to run.
He sprinted desperately away from the center of the storm.
Although Kisame called himself the Tailless Tailed Beast, he knew very well that in front of a true Tailed Beast Bomb, this Tailless Tailed Beast could not withstand it.
Unless he had time to prepare in advance.
"Let go, Kisame!"
At this moment, Itachi frowned and ordered him.
He didn't bother using genjutsu or any other technique on Kisame.
That would only waste time.
It was better to simply speak and try to break free.
But...
He was too frail.
Against Kisame's thick and powerful body, he couldn't break free at all.
Those arms were like iron clamps, locking Itachi firmly in place.
All he could do was watch as the Tailed Beast Bomb, carrying an aura of destruction, descended toward Kai's small figure.
Like a black sun falling from the sky.
"Kai!!!"
"I'm sorry, Itachi-san!"
"I absolutely won't let you put yourself in danger because of me!"
"That is a Tailed Beast Bomb!"
"Even brushing against it would erase a person!"
Kisame was so anxious that sweat poured down his forehead.
Chakra surged wildly beneath his feet as though he didn't care about the cost.
His speed even surpassed every previous burst he had ever made.
Itachi: ...
He took a deep breath.
The three-tomoe windmill pattern of his Mangekyō Sharingan almost stopped rotating from sheer frustration.
Did Kisame not understand the situation at all?
His head was so big.
Was everything inside it fish feed?!
Immediately, Itachi looked toward Kai.
He wasn't certain whether Kai's ability would still work against a Tailed Beast Bomb.
The moment he raised his head—
He saw the enormous Tailed Beast Bomb fully descending.
BOOM!
The massive heat caused the air across the entire core district of Kirigakure to turn thick and heavy.
Scorching waves of pressure slammed into every inch of land.
BOOM—
CRACK!
Within the village's heartland, more and more buildings collapsed under the impact.
The ground directly beneath the attack was carved open into a wide, bottomless trench.
Buzz! Buzz!
Across the shattered earth, countless stones and broken tiles rose into the air, floating unnaturally under the pull of some invisible force.
"It's over..."
"It's over..."
"It's all over..."
On the other side of the debris, Mei Terumi collapsed weakly to her knees.
Supporting herself with difficulty, she forced herself to look up at the black sphere devouring all light.
Only despair remained in her emerald-green eyes.
It was over.
Everything was over.
The village that had raised her...
Could never withstand such violent power.
Even if Lord Kai was powerful...
Against this world-destroying force...
Sigh.
As if accepting her fate, she closed her eyes.
"So noisy."
But at that moment, a quiet yet extremely clear voice rang in everyone's ears.
That voice seemed to completely ignore the roaring caused by the Tailed Beast Bomb.
It was Uchiha Kai.
He didn't even raise his head.
With a cold expression, he simply looked toward the completely berserk Three-Tails.
At that hideous head.
At that violent single eye.
The Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes gradually turned demonic.
Kamui: Transfer!
Buzz!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Thanks to his powerful ocular force, even a Tailed Beast Bomb as large as a truck could now be easily absorbed and transferred.
Very soon, that terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb vanished right in front of Kai.
Jaws dropped across the battlefield.
Future Sasuke in particular knew this ability far too well.
But...
"Back then, even Obito couldn't transfer a Tailed Beast Bomb this huge, could he?"
He murmured in a daze.
Forget a Tailed Beast Bomb this large.
Even with smaller Tailed Beast Bombs, Obito usually relied on intangibility.
He would never waste that much ocular power transferring them away.
But looking at Uchiha Kai's completely unaffected body, Sasuke could only shake his head helplessly.
In a sense...
Wasn't this also because his Second Brother was simply too strong?
A technique others had to use carefully...
Was no different from splashing water to him.
He didn't care at all.
ROAR! ROAR!
At that moment, the instant the Three-Tails saw the Mangekyō Sharingan, it became even more violent.
It was as though it had sensed a natural predator standing above it within those eyes.
Its three massive tails slammed frantically against the ground.
Venting the agitation in its heart.
One of them stabbed directly toward Kai.
It wanted to kill the man before it.
Only then would its rage be satisfied.
"I was planning to leave you for later."
"But since you're so impatient..."
Seeing this, Kai's youthful face completely darkened.
Especially when he saw the enormous tail covered in white spikes.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Hidan from the ground.
Hidan: ?
"No! What are you trying to—"
"Holy shit!"
Hidan froze.
His already aching body and dazed mind instantly realized something was wrong.
Before he could finish shouting, his voice stopped abruptly.
Because in front of him—
A massive white tail covered in scales and spikes suddenly appeared.
And stabbed straight toward him.
At that moment, Hidan finally understood what Kai intended to do.
Without thinking, he exploded into curses.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
"You actually dare use me as a shield?!"
"You damned brat!"
"Let me go right now!"
"Bastard!"
"I'll make sure you die horribly!"
"Just wait!"
"Once I recover, I'll—"
Puchi!
The next second, his angry roar was smashed back into his throat by the gigantic tail.
Pffft!
Hidan felt sweetness rise in his throat.
Then he spat out a massive mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.
His face twisted instantly.
His organs burned with agonizing pain.
"D-D-Damn..."
Hidan struggled, trying to speak.
But it hurt too much.
Every single word made him vomit mouthfuls of blood.
And it wasn't over yet.
The residual force from the Three-Tails was still ravaging his body.
Another tail had already come crashing down from above.
Whoosh—
BOOM!
Pffft! Pffft!
Without any surprise, Hidan was once again placed in front as the shield.
"I... I... I fuck... you..."
Hidan was already gasping for breath.
Even saying a single word had become extremely difficult.
Very soon, the two tails above seemed to enter pile-driver mode.
They smashed down wildly.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The speed was terrifying.
The frequency was absurdly high.
"I..."
Hidan still wanted to be stubborn for a while longer.
But in the next instant, his entire body was hammered into a lump of meat paste.
Only his mouth remained, opening and closing as if he was still trying to say something.
If one looked closely, the meaning was probably—
Screw your mother!
