Ryun received Onoki's message and curled his lips upward. Tch, so it's just using another to do one's dirty work? Fine, I'll let you use me this once. Besides, Son Gokū, the Four-Tails, is quite a significant boost.
Most of the Uchiha clan possess pure Fire nature, or Fire and Lightning natures. Therefore, giving the Four-Tails to an Uchiha wouldn't be bad, but it wouldn't achieve the strongest possible effect.
But Pakura, this cheap grandmother of mine, is different. She already has the Scorch Release from her Wind and Fire chakra natures. Adding Son Gokū's Lava Release would make her the possessor of two Kekkei Genkai. And besides, isn't the wife of Uchiha Izuna also considered part of the Uchiha clan?
Ryun was deep in thought, his eyes occasionally drifting towards Pakura, a smirk playing on his lips. Pakura felt his gaze and quickly looked in his direction, only to see Ryun leering at her with a wicked smile.
She hid behind Uchiha Izuna, appearing weak and vulnerable, which made Izuna pause. He followed her gaze and saw Ryun looking at his wife with a lecherous expression, causing him to frown.
"Ryun, what are you looking at?" Uchiha Izuna asked, his tone unfriendly. Ryun snapped back to attention. "Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about whether Pakura would be willing to become a Jinchūriki," Ryun said with a laugh.
"A Jinchūriki? You mean..." Izuna's mind raced as he looked at Ryun. Ryun nodded. "Soon, the Iwa-nin rogue Rōshi will come to our Konoha village to cause destruction. His actions are a challenge to Konoha's authority. Tsuchikage Onoki has already informed me that we need not consider his feelings and should handle this matter ourselves," Ryun stated calmly.
Uchiha Izuna's eyes gleamed with understanding. "Ryun, you mean, the Four-Tails..."
Ryun nodded again. "However, let's discuss this after we quell the unrest in Konoha." After sharing his thoughts with Uchiha Izuna, Ryun turned his gaze northward.
Uchiha Izuna raised an eyebrow, then gently held Pakura's hand. His expression softened. "Miss Pakura, Ryun was looking at you because he was considering you to become Konoha's Four-Tails Jinchūriki. Please, don't be nervous."
Pakura was stunned. The Four-Tails Jinchūriki? Wasn't the Four-Tails Jinchūriki Iwa-nin's Rōshi? How could she become Konoha's Four-Tails Jinchūriki? As she was puzzling over this, a scout's voice interrupted. The scout was from the Hyūga clan.
He knelt on one knee before Ryun, his face filled with anger. "Lord Hokage, approximately ten kilometers ahead, a large group of Kumo-nin are causing chaos! However, there is no sign of the Raikage or Mizukage!"
Ryun was taken aback for a moment, then took a deep breath. "All forces, prepare for battle! Charge straight into the enemy formation! Kill all those causing havoc!"
"Yes!" As soon as Ryun gave the order, all the Konoha ninja responded.
Everyone picked up their pace, charging forward. Ten minutes later, they finally reached their destination. Standing at the village entrance, Ryun smelled the pervasive, lingering scent of blood. His body trembled, and his ears seemed to echo with the cries of women.
"Don't come any closer! You beasts!"
"Help! Someone save us!"
"The shinobi guarding the village have already died in battle. Who knows when Konoha will send troops to rescue us."
"Mommy, why is that man on top of me?"
"My daughter, my daughter..."
Ryun's eyes filled with killing intent. He let out a furious roar, activated the first stage of the Susanoo, his eyes instantly shifting into the Mangekyō Sharingan pattern, and rushed towards the source of the cries.
He saw several Kumo-nin with lecherous expressions riding on top of women, tearing their clothes, and emitting evil laughter. Without hesitation, Ryun reached out his right hand towards the ninja in the void. A golden skeletal structure extended, grasping the ninja.
"Ah! Who is it! Damn it! How dare you ruin my fun! Brothers, get him!" the ninja roared.
But in the next second, Ryun looked at him with disdain, clenched his right fist, and the golden skeleton in the void mimicked the action, crushing the ninja instantly. His internal organs were mashed together by the bone fragments and immense pressure, turning into bloody pulp.
The other Kumo-nin who were engaged in similar acts stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Ryun. The women in the village were temporarily saved by his appearance.
They adjusted their clothes, tears streaming down their faces. One woman, disregarding her own state, rushed to her daughter and hugged her tightly. It was so close, so close that her daughter would have been defiled by those beasts...
Ryun coldly stared at these ninja. Then, he formed his right hand into a blade and slashed towards one of them. The golden skeleton transformed into a sharp sword, slicing through the ninja. With a tearing sound, the ninja was cut in two before he could even dodge.
Seeing this, the other ninja realized they were no match. They pulled signal flares from their waists and launched about three or four of them. Ryun Uchiaz did not stop them, instead waiting quietly.
The Konoha ninja were still on their way, probably needing a bit more time. Besides, these were just a bunch of weaklings. No matter how many came, they would be nothing more than insignificant ants.
Who would bother arguing with ants? However many came, he would kill them all! A few ninja, seeing that Ryun showed no intention of leaving and instead stood there watching them, found it somewhat amusing.
In just a short while, over a thousand ninja appeared. This group had a common characteristic: they were young, very young. So young that Ryun estimated they were only about thirteen or fourteen years old.
These were all new ninja, the fresh recruits of Kumogakure. But that didn't matter. Since they had committed acts of invasion, engaged in those filthy deeds, regardless of their age or youth, they would all stay here forever.
After the thousand plus ninja appeared, they did not immediately attack because of the massive golden skeleton surrounding Ryun, which looked imposing and extraordinary.
Some of the team leaders, upon seeing this, suddenly changed their expressions. "Ryun! Hokage Ryun! Everyone, run away!!"
Just as they uttered these words, Ryun moved. In an instant, he threw dozens of kunai, embedding them in the ground, in trees, and on the walls of houses.
Then, Ryun used the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting rapidly. With each teleportation, he eliminated the older ninja who had shouted the warnings.
The new generation of young Kumo-nin witnessed this scene, their faces paling drastically. What kind of strength and speed was this!
The ninja who had mocked Ryun earlier now couldn't stop their legs from trembling. A monster, this guy is a monster. And it seemed they vaguely heard the team leaders say this guy was called something, Hokage, Ryun!
Hokage Ryun! That Kumo-nin's eyes suddenly widened in terror. He had heard that name before. Looking again at the golden skeleton, he couldn't help but gasp sharply.
If he had known that Konoha's Hokage, Ryun himself, was here, he would never have launched the signal flares, even if beaten to death. Wasn't this just luring his comrades into a trap?
And he had launched four in a row, indicating an urgent situation requiring rescue. This was just the beginning, and already over a thousand ninja had appeared. He dared not imagine how many more would come, rushing headlong into the rescue.
He understood now. He finally understood why Ryun didn't kill them immediately, why he stood there watching them with a mocking expression. He was waiting for them to call for backup!
One of the ninja who had launched the signal flares gritted his teeth. Taking advantage of the crowd, he quietly moved backward. He remembered from the data on Hokage Ryun that he seemed to care deeply for his people. If that was the case, then those women and children... if he could capture them, he might be able to use them to restrain Ryun.
While Ryun was teleporting and killing, he had also left a True Sight eye near the group of women and girls, engraved with a Flying Thunder God mark. Suddenly, he noticed the young man who had been assaulting others earlier charging towards these women.
He held a kunai, panting heavily, trying to grab one of the women. The woman saw this, let out a startled cry, and closed her eyes as the Kumo-nin reached for her.
Just as the young Kumo-nin thought he would succeed and was about to achieve a great merit, a figure suddenly flashed before him. It was Ryun.
Ryun focused his mind. The Susanoo erupted from the ground, enveloping the several women and placing them inside, standing together with him on the head of the golden Complete Body Susanoo. With more ninja arriving now, it would be inconvenient to protect them during the fight.
The ninja who had planned to sneak attack the women and take them hostage now sat heavily on the ground. Ryun no longer concealed his chakra aura. This chakra, as immense as a mountain, pressed down on him, making it hard to breathe.
"Damn it, move, move!" The ninja fought against his fear, trying to stand up. But as soon as he rose, his legs gave way again.
Ryun manipulated the Susanoo, lifted its right foot, and brought it down. The young ninja was instantly crushed! The ground shook violently. All the ninja on the scene lost their balance and fell to the ground.
"A monster! This is a monster!"
"This is not an opponent a human can face!"
"Run away!!!"
Just as the Kumo-nin decided to flee, Ryun opened his eyes. His Mangekyō Sharingan vanished, replaced by golden Rinnegan.
"Rinnegan Skill, Pressure!"
Instantly, centered on Ryun, beneath the feet of the Susanoo, a crimson-golden lotus bloomed, enveloping all the Kumo-nin within it. The Kumo-nin now felt their bodies freeze, unable to move.
"Wh, what technique is this? Why can't I move!"
"Damn it, why do I feel like I can't even breathe? It's so hard."
"It's like the air is pressing in from all sides. I, I can't take it anymore!"
Boom! Suddenly, one ninja couldn't withstand the pressure and exploded on the spot, utterly obliterated. The others, seeing this, were greatly alarmed. Their concentration broke, disrupting their rhythm of circulating chakra to resist.
The consequence of this was, Boom!
