"Kill! Do not let the rogue Uchiha Shin breach the Hidden Cloud Village!"
"Right! Protect the village at all costs!"
The shinobi of Kumogakure roared, surging forward with unwavering resolve. Their target? The man known as Uchiha Shin—the harbinger of devastation.
Watching them charge, Uchiha Shin merely smirked. To him, this was no different than stumbling upon an anthill and giving it a poke, just to watch the insects scatter in panic. So many of them. It was almost amusing.
"Come forth, Kage Butai."
A wave of black shadows erupted from Shin's form, twisting and writhing before materializing into a legion of dark figures—each an extension of his will.
The Cloud shinobi, once rushing forward in formation, found themselves suddenly overwhelmed. Slashing through one of the black wraiths, a Jonin realized with horror that the creature merely reformed instantly.
"It's no use! These things won't die!"
"We need to eliminate the caster—Uchiha Shin himself!"
From within the fray, a powerful voice rang out. "Then we cut the head off the snake."
Killer Bee—the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails—stepped forward. His white and green braids swung as he moved, the markings on his face glowing faintly with chakra. A living weapon of Kumogakure, he had spent years mastering his symbiosis with the Eight-Tails. Now, he had a village to protect.
"Yo, Hachibi, let's go wild!"
"You already know, Bee."
A surge of crimson energy enveloped him, the volatile chakra forming a protective cloak as streaks of lightning crackled around his frame.
"Lightning Release: Chakra Mode—ENGAGE!"
The battlefield trembled under the sheer force of his power. But Shin remained unimpressed. Instead, he sighed, tilting his head.
"Ah, Lightning Chakra Mode… how nostalgic. But I've refined it far beyond its primitive form."
He raised a hand. "Electromagnetic Armament—activate."
No visible lightning erupted from his body, yet every fiber of his being crackled with energy. At an atomic level, electromagnetic forces realigned his molecules into an indestructible lattice. Even sunlight bent towards him, absorbed and converted into pure energy.
"By enhancing my atomic structure through electromagnetic force, my speed and strength surpass those of any Lightning Chakra Mode. You, Killer Bee… you are obsolete."
Bee barely had time to react before Shin vanished. In a single instant, Shin had closed the gap.
"So fast—"
Instinct took over. Bee's right arm lashed out, infused with tailed beast chakra, bones momentarily surfacing from his elbow as he prepared a devastating Lariat. It was a move meant to be executed with a partner, but Bee had trained to do it alone. Now, he put everything into this one strike.
Too slow.
From Shin's perspective, Bee's attack was sluggish. Pathetic.
"Eight Extremes: Mountain Shatterer."
Shin's counterattack struck like divine judgment. His palm smashed into Bee's torso, and the world shattered.
The sonic boom that followed deafened all nearby, sending shinobi flying in all directions. Killer Bee himself was launched like a meteor, his body tearing through the sky, cutting through the atmosphere before smashing into a distant mountain.
The peak of the mountain collapsed on impact. But Bee's body didn't stop. The force sent him skidding through the terrain for nearly ten kilometers before he finally came to a halt.
He barely resembled a human anymore.
His bones were shattered. Internal organs ruptured. Even the regenerative chakra of the Eight-Tails struggled to keep him alive.
Bee groaned in agony. "Shit… this guy… ain't normal."
A dark red explosion of chakra burst forth as the Eight-Tails took full control. Bee's mangled body was wrapped in an explosion of energy, expanding outward into a monstrous, towering form.
Killer Bee was gone.
Now, only Gyūki—the Eight-Tails—stood on the battlefield.
And even it was terrified.
Lightning crackled in the distance. Then, in the blink of an eye, Shin was there.
The Eight-Tails shuddered.
"No way… he's stronger than the Third Raikage? A thousand times stronger?"
For the first time in its long life, Gyūki hesitated. It had fought countless powerful foes—yet this Uchiha was beyond comprehension.
Shin let out a wild laugh. "Not done yet!"
He slammed his hands into the earth. Then, to Gyūki's horror, the ground itself began to shift.
Shin's body tensed. Then, with impossible strength, he wrenched an entire mountain from the earth—lifting it high above his head like a mere pebble.
Under the influence of his electromagnetic force, gravity itself seemed meaningless.
"Come on, Gyūki! You can handle this, right?!"
The Eight-Tails said nothing. It could only stare as Shin hurled the mountain with god-like might.
The air pressure alone ruptured the land beneath it. The sound barrier shattered, the very atmosphere igniting around the airborne mass as it hurtled toward the tailed beast.
Gyūki reacted instantly.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
A condensed sphere of pure destruction formed in its mouth before being fired at blinding speed. The beam tore through the sky, striking the airborne mountain, reducing it to mere dust in an instant. But the attack did not stop—it continued forward, aimed directly at Shin.
Yet, he did not move.
The searing energy engulfed him. The ground beneath him disintegrated, a massive crater forming as the destructive force of the Tailed Beast Bomb tore through the landscape.
And then the dust settled.
Shin stood there.
Untouched.
Not a scratch. Not even a single strand of hair out of place.
The Eight-Tails felt an overwhelming, primal fear. "Impossible."
Shin chuckled, cracking his knuckles. "Nice try."
Under his Electromagnetic Armament, every molecule in his body was bound by an unbreakable force. His very existence defied physics itself.
Gyūki knew it then.
He could not win.
He could only run.
With no hesitation, the Eight-Tails spewed forth a cloud of ink. The thick black liquid twisted and contorted, forming shadowy clones of itself—each an attempt to stall Shin for even a second.
A desperate move.
A futile effort.
And Shin knew it.
"Running away?" His grin widened. "How disappointing."
Then, without warning—he moved.
Faster than thought.
The storm clouds above split apart as a single, thunderous explosion echoed through the battlefield. The sound of Shin breaking past the limits of speed itself.
The Eight-Tails' ink clones barely had time to register his approach before they were obliterated.
And in that moment—Gyūki knew it was over.
