Amidst the overflowing flames, figures cloaked in Tailed Beast chakra broke through the outer barriers of the headquarters and invaded!
"That... what is that!?"
"Are those Tailed Beasts?"
"Such strong chakra!"
"How did they break in so quickly?"
Seeing the Jinchuriki, who had all been turned into 'Six Paths of Pain' by Nagato and entered Tailed Beast transformation, the ninjas of the Ninja Village Alliance panicked one by one.
No need to go up and verify. Just from the terrifying chakra lingering around those Jinchuriki, ordinary ninjas knew they were far from being opponents. If they took a step forward... no! If they didn't turn around and flee immediately, their lives would vanish like small flames in the air in an instant!
Whoosh...
After invading the headquarters, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki activated a 'Tailed Beast Ball' again. Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, the 'Tailed Beast Ball' shot out.
Along the way, many ninjas tried to use ninjutsu to block it, but in front of the 'Tailed Beast Ball', whether Earth Release or Water Release ninjutsu, all were instantly defeated! The shooting 'Tailed Beast Ball' plowed the ground all the way, piercing through the headquarters amidst roaring sounds, razing everything along the way, and finally disappeared into the continuous rain curtain of the Land of Rain.
"This!?"
Looking at the gully dozens of meters wide plowed out by the 'Tailed Beast Ball', extending all the way through the entire headquarters, ninjas on both sides were stunned.
In just an instant, countless ninjas along the way were wiped out by the 'Tailed Beast Ball' inexplicably, leaving not even residue behind.
Fear began to spread among the crowd!
Just then, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki also lay on the ground, like a real Tailed Beast, starting to condense a 'Tailed Beast Ball'.
"Damn it..."
"Stop him!"
"Can't let him succeed!"
Amidst exclamations, kunai, explosive tags, ninjutsu, etc., shot towards the Four-Tails Jinchuriki condensing the 'Tailed Beast Ball' from all directions.
However, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki swept his four swaying tails randomly, sweeping away the vast majority of attacks.
Some attacks that slipped through hit the Four-Tails Jinchuriki cloaked in Tailed Beast chakra, just like scratching an itch, not hurting the Four-Tails Jinchuriki a bit.
Just as the Four-Tails Jinchuriki finished condensing the 'Tailed Beast Ball' and looked up to release it, a figure fast as lightning flashed past everyone's eyes, hitting the Four-Tails Jinchuriki like a lightning strike!
Boom...
Accompanied by a loud noise, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki was knocked flying entirely. The 'Tailed Beast Ball' in front of his mouth also shot into mid-air due to the release angle problem, disappearing into the gloomy rain clouds overhead.
"It's Raikage-sama!"
Ninjas who had fallen into despair instantly had their morale boosted greatly!
Undoubtedly, the one who interrupted the Four-Tails Jinchuriki preparing to release the 'Tailed Beast Ball' at the critical moment was none other than the Fourth Raikage who activated 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode'!
On the other side.
Tsunade, Onoki, Terumi Mei, and Pakura joined the battlefield one after another!
As soon as the Five Kage appeared, the originally one-sided declining situation was quickly alleviated. The ninjas who had fallen into chaos gradually steadied their positions!
Taking action together with the Five Kage were also elites from various villages.
Jiraiya intercepted 'Deva Path'. Kitsuchi from Iwagakure led people to surround the Four-Tails Jinchuriki knocked flying by the Fourth Raikage.
Ryuzetsu and Chino faced Kakuzu and Hidan who invaded the headquarters riding clay birds.
Zabuza targeted Juzo Biwa.
Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro coordinated with Sand ninjas to surround Sasori.
Ameyuri Ringo, Chojuro, and Suigetsu coordinated with Mist ninjas to surround Ranmaru.
Kurotsuchi, Sai, and a few other ninjas capable of flight engaged Deidara in the air.
For a time, the entire headquarters was plunged into the flames of war. Roaring explosions were everywhere. Raging fires filled the view. Roars, calls, and cries intertwined!
Swish...
Amidst such chaos, an extremely fast figure dragging afterimages arrived at the medical camp area in the headquarters.
"It... it's Hiruko!"
"Quickly transfer the wounded!"
"Block him!"
Ninjas responsible for guarding the medical camp shouted warnings loudly while pouncing towards Hiruko.
"Hmph!"
Hiruko curled his mouth, snorted lightly, then began forming hand seals, shouting: "Storm Release: Laser Circus!"
Instantly, laser beams like water currents shot out in all directions, piercing through all ninjas pouncing towards Hiruko.
Without even wailing, these ninjas fell into pools of blood one by one.
Combat power was urgently lacking inside the headquarters, and the medical camp was located in the core area of the headquarters, so very few ninjas stayed here, and their combat power was also very average, simply unable to withstand a strong person like Hiruko.
Solving most of the guards, Hiruko strolled inside the medical camp, his crimson eyes scanning medical tents one by one. The wounded inside the tents looked at Hiruko in a red cloud cloak outside, all terrified and horrified!
Undoubtedly, Hiruko was looking for someone.
The one being targeted by him was obviously not an ordinary person either. His target was Kakashi, who previously used 'Kamui' to teleport Muku away, making Tanjiro return in vain.
In the 'Infinity Castle' battle, to stop Tanjiro, Kakashi helplessly exposed his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Although Kakashi activated 'Kamui' briefly at that time, and was somewhat distant from Akatsuki members, he was still noticed by Hiruko who also possessed Mangekyo Sharingan.
Later, Hiruko heard Kakashi was heavily injured by Itachi. So as soon as the great battle started, he took the opportunity to infiltrate the medical camp, preparing to take this god-given opportunity to snatch Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan containing 'Space-Time Pupil Technique'!
Soon, Hiruko arrived at the severe injury area.
"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"
Just stepping into the severe injury area camp, a burst of gray fog surged towards Hiruko overwhelmingly, enveloping him.
Then, with a bang, the gray fog was detonated instantly.
However, when the explosion subsided and dust dispersed, Hiruko was revealed with a face full of mockery.
"Damn it!"
Asuma's face darkened.
Undoubtedly, the one activating 'Ash Pile Burning' was Asuma, who was also recuperating in the severe injury area. He had noticed Hiruko long ago, just that his own injuries hadn't fully recovered, so he ambushed at the camp entrance, wanting to sneak attack Hiruko.
It was just that the current Hiruko was no longer the novice with high configuration but poor operation from before. Now he had already mastered and integrated several Kekkei Genkai he possessed. At the moment of ambush, he activated 'Dark Release', absorbing all chakra in the core area of Asuma's 'Ash Pile Burning'. That was why he took Asuma's Fire Release head-on without dodging.
Smiling, Hiruko glanced around, finding that besides Asuma, there were quite a few familiar faces in the severe injury area, such as Mifune, Hayate, Kurenai, Guy, Chiriku, etc., also recuperating in the severe injury area.
However, these Jonin who originally had decent strength were all wrapped in bandages at this moment, obviously with unhealed injuries.
Hiruko grinned hideously: "A bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled, in such a hurry to seek death?"
