Ōnoki sat on the chair, completely dejected.
Infinite regret surged in his heart!
He truly deserved to die!
Why did he insist on wading into this muddy water?!
Wouldn't it have been better to just watch quietly?
Just for a tiny bit of petty gain, he lost his village's Four-Tails!
Of course, he understood in his heart that the Four-Tails hadn't truly died; it had merely turned into Chakra and dissipated into the air.
But trying to re-condense that Chakra would take at least fifty years!
Setting aside what might happen during those fifty years.
Even if the Four-Tails revives fifty years later, will it still be the Land of Earth's Four-Tails?
Will Iwagakure be able to successfully bring the Four-Tails back?
Ōnoki had no confidence in his heart.
If he could still live for another fifty years, then it would be fine.
But, that was already impossible.
From this moment onward, Iwagakure has permanently lost the Four-Tails!!
"The Four-Tails... was frozen to death..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared blankly at the scene in the projection.
This was the first time he had witnessed the death of a Biju since his birth.
At this moment, he felt somewhat fortunate.
Fortunate that Konoha, due to its lack of troops, had not provided aid to the Land of Lightning.
Otherwise, the already fractured Konoha would suffer even worse misfortune!
Didn't that old man Ōnoki lose even his Four-Tails?
The Third Kazekage was equally fortunate.
The Sunagakure's biggest shortage was talented personnel.
If they lost even one, it would pain him for a long time.
Thank goodness, thank goodness, they hadn't fallen for the Land of Lightning's trick!
After all the ice fragments were carried away by the wind, the appearance of the district around Rukia changed dramatically!
Not only did the Tailed Beast Ball and the Four-Tails turn into ice fragments and vanish, but even the buildings in this area of Soul Society Court had disappeared!
The vast Soul Society Court instantly became much more open.
This power!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Third Kazekage both swallowed hard.
If this were unleashed on their Ninja Village, they would probably have to spend a lot of resources on reconstruction.
This was no different from taking a direct hit from a Tailed Beast Ball.
Human Biju!
This was the true Human Biju!
However, this also allowed them to see the drawback of this technique.
It distinguishes neither friend nor foe!
As long as Rukia cared about something, she wouldn't easily use this technique if they were standing nearby.
When the battle ended, Rukia deactivated her Bankai form.
Her face remained expressionless.
It seemed killing a Biju was no different from crushing an ant.
And whenever this happened, it was time for the Ninja World to re-evaluate the Uzushigakure' combat strength.
Although the Uzushigakure didn't have Bijus, it had Captains who could rival them!
The Third Kazekage, especially, felt like his face was being slapped repeatedly!
He had just said that the Uzushigakure couldn't possibly withstand a Biju attack because it lacked a Biju,
Yet, they showed him that the Uzushigakure didn't need Bijus at all!
Only the weak use Bijus as deterrence!
The importance he placed on the Uzushigakure immediately shot up.
At the same time, he secretly wondered if Rukia's ability was too Heaven-Defying, or if every Captain possessed a powerful technique comparable to a Biju?
If it was the latter, then unless the Ninja World truly united, it would be impossible to oppose the Uzushigakure!
However, it should just be because Rukia's ability is too strong.
For example, Gin's sword ability was much simpler.
Moreover, it could be defended against and dodged.
It was just that the difficulty coefficient was higher.
Therefore, the Uzushigakure absolutely cannot be allowed to grow stronger!
Deep worry flashed in his heart.
After all, the Uzushigakure destroyed the Land of Water right after its reconstruction, showing signs of great ambition.
Who knows if the Uzushigakure will one day want to conquer the entire Ninja World Continent?
We must plan ahead!
Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
Ōnoki clutched his heart, feeling like he was about to pass out.
Pain! Too much pain!!
Roshi, oh Roshi!!
You were just a bit stubborn usually, I truly didn't mean to harm you!
He calmed his inner grief and furrowed his brows tightly.
He stamped the highest Rank of SSS onto the intelligence regarding the Uzushigakure!!
The Uzushigakure is too strong!!
