Chapter 240: Rikudō - Chibaku Tensei
After sealing Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, Yeruashi looked around.
Nearby, a few dozen meters away, there were hundreds of Kirigakure ninja and they looked askance at Yeruashi, some of them were holding a kunai and other weapons in front of them, and some were ready to start performing hand seals at any moment, but no one took any real action.
If you looked closely, you can see how cold sweat appeared on the forehead of many ninjas, rolls down their cheeks and drips from the chin to the ground.
Especially when Yeruashi looked at them.
The Kirigakure ninja, caught under Yeruashi's gaze, instinctively tensed, felt a shiver run down their backs, and their limbs began to tremble slightly.
"..."
Soon, Yeruashi's gaze landed on Mei, who was standing nearby, and after a brief pause, she looked away, at the same time, a sky blue flash shone in her pupils.
Compared to the business in Kirigakure, Nagato's Rinnegan is much more important.
Yeruashi activated the Tenseigan's spatial ability, intending to open a spatial passage directly to Akatsuki's secret base, according to the map Obito had previously provided him with.
In a few seconds later.
A golden ripple waved in the air in front of Yeruashi, and he took a step forward and disappeared into it.
After he left, the spatial passage didn't last long and soon dissipated completely.
Seeing this, the numerous Kirigakure ninja around were finally able to relax and let out a sigh of relief.
At that moment, someone looked in the direction of the outskirts of Kirigakure, towards the huge stone wall partially shattered and covered with many cracks, trying to find out if the Fourth Mizukage was alive, and then raised his head towards the sky, looking at the well-cut clouds, like soft tofu, and swallowed saliva.
The image of the Fifth Hokage appeared in his mind, throwing the Fourth Mizukage with exaggerated ease, and with each sword stroke, cutting the clouds that rose high in the sky were cut off.
"What kind of strength is that..."
A ninja dropped his weapon and whispered in disbelief, his body visibly trembling.
Mei began to gradually recover after Yeruashi left.
She looked at the spot where he had just disappeared and bit her lip.
Now she understood...
She understood why Yeruashi didn't take the other Great Ninja Villages seriously.
Not to mention how Yeruashi accidentally cut the clouds in the sky as if it cost him nothing, just the scene of him throwing the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, as if he was throwing a mere chicken, clearly shows that his personal strength has reached an unimaginable degree.
Yeruashi simply does not want to abruptly annihilate the other Great Ninja Peoples, because it will lead to chaos in the great countries, and the civilian population will be severely affected and the economy will collapse.
"The ninja world, sooner or later... will become one."
Such a thought appeared in Mei's mind.
Now she began to think that there was no point in resisting unification, it would only lead to an increase in the number of casualties and losses.
Judging by the strength just demonstrated by the Fifth Hokage, any attempt at resistance will be severely crushed.
If that's the case, then he just needs to stand still.
No.
She must move on!
She must become the Fifth Mizukage as soon as possible to try to reduce the chaos and losses in Kirigakure and the Water Country when the changes in the ninja world begin.
Mei took a deep breath and nodded firmly.
In the future, she will become part of the unified ninja world, and among the women pursuing Yeruashi, there definitely won't be a Kage from one of the Great Villages besides her!
...
Country of Earth.
Iwagakure.
Office of the Tsuchikage.
The third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, leaned forward and began tapping his back, feeling a sharp pain in his lower back, at the same time grunting irritably, "Hmph, I'm too old for all this!"
He sighed deeply as he looked at the table full of documents related to Iwagakure's economic problems.
Iwagakure was able to extract a lot of benefits from the Rain Country and was ready to move smoothly towards recovery after the war, but as a result, due to the Fifth Hokage's threats and authoritarian behavior, they were not only unable to benefit, but were even forced to give away part of the town's funds.
And now the economy of Iwagakure was in a rather bad state.
This made Ōnoki grind his teeth in exasperation, but as he recalled the scene of Yeruashi cutting off the huge peak of a mountain with exaggerated ease, he couldn't help but feel weak and helpless.
He should find a worthy successor as soon as possible and retire, so that he will never have to deal with such unpleasant and troublesome things in this life again.
It would be nice to never meet the Fifth Hokage again.
"Ah..."
Ōnoki sighed and leaned back in his chair.
But at that moment, a ripple appeared in the air in the middle of his office, as if he was on the surface of the water, and then a human body emerged from it.
"Who... er..."
Ōnoki was surprised at first, then abruptly flew up and raised his hands in front of him, ready to use Jinton at any moment.
But when he saw the person who emerged from the waves, Jinton's white glow abruptly vanished.
"Huh?"
Yeruashi was surprised to see the Third Tsuchikage in front of him, and then he looked around and realized that he had accidentally opened a spatial passage straight to Iwagakure....
It seems that the Tenseigan's spatial ability is prone to large errors and deviations if the user does not have a specific understanding of the position of the target point in space.
"Ah, Third Tsuchikage, you don't have to worry, I'm just experimenting with a Jutsu..."
Yeruashi smiled softly and returned to the space passage.
Then, the space passage shuddered and disappeared without a trace.
Ōnoki: "..."
The third Tsuchikage suddenly felt that the pain in his back had increased several times.
...
Somewhere in the Land of Earth Country.
Yeruashi's body appeared from the opening of the space passage.
This time, he didn't appear directly at Akatsuki's secret base again, but when he took the air and assessed the surrounding area, Yeruashi realized that he shouldn't be too far away.
Instead of reopening the space passage, he quickly flew in the direction of the location of the secret base indicated by Obito.
In about half an hour.
Yeruashi left Akatsuki's secret base.
As Obito had said, there was indeed a secret base here, but there was no Nagato, Black Zetsu or Gedo Mazo.
After assessing the internal situation, Yeruashi concluded that the base had been abandoned long before his arrival.
There should be no problem with Obito's information, meaning that the decision to abandon the base was probably made by Black Zetsu and Nagato for some reason, without Obito's notice.
Yeruashi stared at the empty Akatsuki base for a while longer, then looked up at the darkening sky.
A scattering of stars adorned the night sky, but there was no familiar moon.
He shook his head and folded his hands in front of him and, with a deep sigh, a sky blue flash shone in his eyes and his body spewed out a powerful fluctuation of chakra.
Whoosh!!!
A large amount of gravitational force quickly accumulated between his palms and finally took the form of a small black ball.
Yeruashi raised his hands and spread them apart, sending this sphere of concentrated gravitational force into the sky... into space.
Chibaku Tensei.
Or to be more precise, it was.... Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei! (Rikudō - Chibaku Tensei)
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!
The surrounding ground began to shake and collapse.
A huge mountain range was ripped from the ground and began to rise into the sky under the terrifying force of gravity, finally crumbling and forming a new moon that replaced the previous one.
Yeruashi slowly lowered his hands and nodded with satisfaction.
A moment later, it disappeared without a trace.
