Chapter 120: The Three Kages

In a plain in the Land of Rain.

From the four cardinal directions, transparent barriers rose, with red flames burning steadily upon them, forming an impenetrable barrier.

Inside the barrier, Shinosuke's corpse, wearing a Hannya mask, tilted its head to look at Minato Namikaze and the two figures approaching from the distance.

'What a grand setup,' Yuto thought as chakra continued to accumulate in Shinosuke's corpse.

Simultaneously, a sensation of falling into an abyss engulfed him, akin to an inescapable nightmare.

Yuto understood that this was a signal of death approaching.

Standing beside Minato Namikaze were the Third Raikage A and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.

'The Moon God had left the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki with an unhealable wound and had killed nearly a hundred Kumo shinobi. Given the nature of the Land of Lightning, it was natural for the Third Raikage to seek revenge here... but why was Onoki here?'

Yuto couldn't figure it out.

What he didn't know was that Hiruzen had been quite busy recently.

The Four Red Yang Formation, performed by him and the Sannin, was an unbreakable cage.

Minato, the Third Raikage, and Onoki were responsible for fighting within the barrier. This configuration was so formidable that even if the Moon God's strength rivaled the Nine-Tails, he would be subdued!

As for Onoki's presence, it was arranged through political maneuvers by Hiruzen.

Konoha agreed to return Yagura's body to Kirigakure, but in return, Kirigakure had to yield significant benefits to Iwagakure, persuading Onoki to take action.

The intricate planning and calculations of the villages behind the scenes were unknown, but the fact remained that three Kages were present in the Land of Rain today.

Apart from the Land of Wind, the other four major nations were involved in the Moon God's encirclement.

Once the bait was taken, the probability of the Moon God's survival or escape was nearly zero. With such a powerful lineup, Hiruzen's judgment was understandable.

In fact, this conclusion was correct.

The Yellow Flash, along with the Third Tsuchikage and Raikage at their peak, would leave no chance of survival even for Nagato in later years.

'Fortunately, I have a backup plan...' Yuto thought. Outside the barrier, his main body closed its eyes under the guise of regulating his breath, focusing entirely on Shinosuke's corpse.

"Onoki-sama, A-sama," Minato said politely, "Thank you both for coming..."

"Enough with the nonsense, kid," the Third Raikage A, with his light yellow hair, interrupted rudely, cracking his knuckles and glaring at the man with the Hannya mask. "I'll kill him first, then deal with you."

Boom!

The moment the Third Raikage finished speaking, he charged towards Shinosuke's corpse at high speed. The lightning and his formidable physique tore through the air with a piercing roar.

A straightforward, head-on charge with the intent to tear everything apart before him, this move was somewhat similar to the Lion's Fang Bite.

- Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!

"Almighty Push!"

Shinosuke's corpse formed a seal with one hand, and a massive repulsive force surrounded him. The Third Raikage's fingers, like the hammer of a thunder god, collided with the repulsive force shield.

The ground beneath their feet was overturned in an instant. The Four-Finger Nukite did not break through Shinosuke's defense, nor was it deflected. The Raikage plunged his lightning-imbued hand deep into the repulsive force shield, pushing his opponent back over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

"Impressive, as expected from the man who fights the Eight-Tails hand-to-hand..." Shinosuke corpse sneered, increasing the chakra output.

Shinosuke's internal organs began to bleed, and his skin, hidden beneath black clothing, started to show signs of necrosis, turning purple and black.

The greatest advantage of controlling a corpse with black receivers was the ability to "release extraordinary amounts of chakra." If he disregarded the damage to the corpse, the chakra output could even surpass that of the main body!

As a massive amount of chakra surged in, the repulsive force shield's power increased, generating a stronger rebound force on the Third Raikage, halting his charge.

'Opportunity!' Yuto's eyes gleamed. Shinosuke's corpse, under his control, activated a gravitational pull to draw the Raikage closer while a sharp repulsive force spear formed on Shinosuke's index finger, creating a classic combination attack!

Unexpectedly, A did not retreat but advanced, his chest meeting the repulsive force spear. His right hand raised high, and lightning roared once more.

- Hell Stab: Three-Finger Nukite!

Trading injuries for injuries, lives for lives, this was a tactic only the Third Raikage, confident in his physique to the extreme, could use.

Faced with this move, Yuto had two choices.

First, he could match the Raikage's actions and trade injuries – using his own body against the corpse he was controlling would be laughable.

Second, he could dodge, utilizing the flexibility of gravity and repulsive force, imitating Naruto's tactic in the original work, to trip the Raikage and use his own ninjutsu against him.

In the split second of decision, Yuto chose neither method.

He constantly reminded himself of his current identity, the domineering and arrogant Moon God, a character who would never back down.

He could be temporarily pushed back by a humanoid-tailed beast like the Raikage in battle, but he must not avoid the frontal clash.

- I will crush all enemies before me, an invincible god!

Character, character, always maintain the character.

Shinosuke's corpse suddenly spun rapidly, chakra spewing from various tenketsu points, combining with the push and pull of repulsive and gravitational forces. The speed of released chakra far exceeded that of the Rasengan.

Each spinning chakra had different acceleration, trajectories, rotation directions, speeds, and sizes. To describe its power in simple terms, it was like "embedding ten thousand Rasengans on the surface of Revolving Heaven!"

This technique was called:

- Double Divine Revolving Heaven!

As a member of the Hyuga clan, whether he admitted it or not, the Gentle Fist system was deeply ingrained in Yuto's blood. After obtaining the Half-Awakened Tenseigan, he naturally developed advanced and even ultimate versions of the Gentle Fist techniques.

Derived from Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, the Double Divine Revolving Heaven boasted unparalleled power, with full defensive capabilities and offensive power comparable to a tailed beast bomb.

Experienced individuals could easily see its roots in the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven.

Previously, Yuto avoided using it to prevent exposure, but now that his preparations were complete, he no longer needed to worry.

The collision between the Double Divine Revolving Heaven and the Three-Fingered Spear caused the air inside the Four Red Yang Formation to explode violently, trying to escape but being confined by the barrier, inflating the rectangular barrier into a spherical shape.

A was thrown far away, leaving traces of blood in the air.

The chakra within Shinosuke's corpse was also depleted. The Double Divine Revolving Heaven consumed an enormous amount of chakra, akin to burning it on a bonfire.

However, at that moment, Yuto, through the eyes of Shinosuke's corpse, saw Onoki and Minato Namikaze already close, with the Third Raikage far behind, spitting blood and struggling to stand.

'Damn monsters...'

Ignoring the strain on Shinosuke's corpse, Yuto poured more chakra into it.

The battle had only just begun.

...

Meanwhile, five kilometers outside the barrier.

Nagato Uzumaki gazed at the massive, seamless barrier before him, his purple Rinnegan filled with rage and malice.

"So it's the work of Konoha. Thanks for the help... Moon God."

He approached a corner of the barrier.
