"Is… is that the Rinnegan of the Sage of the Six Paths?"
Seeing Kazama wield the Rinnegan, Terumi Mei realized how foolish she'd been to think she could defeat him.
"If I don't leave Kirigakure, how can I go all out with my slaughter?"
As Kazama spoke, he used his repulsive force to launch himself into the sky.
"You little punk, I'm the one who's gonna slaughter you! In front of me, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, you humans are nothing but sitting ducks. Now I'll show you the true power of a Tailed Beast… What the?!"
"Shinra Tensei!"
Before the Five-Tails Jinchuriki could finish his taunting, Kazama blasted him hundreds of meters away.
The force toppled countless trees in its wake, its power rivaling a full-on Tailed Beast strike.
Only now did Terumi Mei understand why Kazama had let the Five-Tails Jinchuriki knock him out of Kirigakure.
If he'd used Shinra Tensei inside the village, Kirigakure would've been reduced to rubble.
"Bansho Ten'in!"
Still reeling from the Shinra Tensei, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki barely had time to process what was happening before Kazama's Bansho Ten'in pulled him back in.
"You're asking for it, kid!"
The Five-Tails Jinchuriki, frustrated at not getting a chance to strike, was thrilled when Kazama pulled him closer.
"Shinra Tensei!"
But before he could even get near, Kazama blasted him away again.
The pull followed by the push nearly tore the Five-Tails Jinchuriki apart.
If it had been anyone else, they'd have been shattered to pieces by now.
"Bansho Ten'in! Shinra Tensei!…"
Kazama showed no signs of stopping, relentlessly chaining Bansho Ten'in and Shinra Tensei.
In just a few exchanges, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki was left dazed and disoriented.
"This is the power of the Rinnegan?"
Watching Kazama effortlessly pummel the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Terumi Mei was in complete awe.
"You bastard! You're treating me like a damn ball!"
Humiliated and enraged, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki let out a furious roar and transformed into the Five-Tails, Kokuō, itself.
"Die, punk! Horn Breaker!"
"Super Shinra Tensei!"
Even against Kokuō's full Tailed Beast form, Kazama sent it crashing to the ground with a single blow.
"Not even the Five-Tails itself is a match for Kazama!"
Terumi Mei was at a loss for words to describe just how incredible Kazama was.
"I'm not afraid of anything except a Tailed Beast Ball!"
Kazama deliberately taunted Kokuō, goading it into using the Tailed Beast Ball.
And Kokuō, not the sharpest mind, took the bait.
The moment it heard Kazama feared the Tailed Beast Ball, it unleashed one straight at him.
"Here we go!"
Seeing Kokuō actually fire a Tailed Beast Ball, Kazama was ecstatic.
Ding! Successfully absorbed the Five-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball. Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Power of the Six-Tails, allowing transformation into the Six-Tails Rhino Dog!
Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the 18th Strange Flame, Bahuang Destruction Flame. This flame can transform into hundred-meter-wide fiery wings, allowing the host to soar above the nine heavens!
"He can even absorb a Tailed Beast Ball?"
Terumi Mei, watching the entire fight between Kazama and Kokuō, saw everything clearly.
At that moment, she had a sudden realization: compared to the Five-Tails, Kazama might just be the real monster.
