Just as Ning Feng was thinking this through, Konan behind him had already clang—drawn her kunai and held it coldly in front of her, her eyes flashing with dense killing intent.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
Several sharp whistling sounds tore through the air. Yahiko and Nagato, other members of the Akatsuki, appeared behind Uchiha Feng almost simultaneously.
Their vigilant, grave gazes were fixed on the figures that had suddenly emerged in the distance.
Even Ning Feng himself couldn't help but frown slightly.
Tonight, Amegakure is really lively…
Within the sinister gleam of Ning Feng's Mangekyō Sharingan, the leading ninja could be seen wearing purple robes and a shinobi cap, his eyes cold to the extreme.
Behind him stood several Iwagakure Anbu, each brimming with murderous intent.
Seeing the man at the front, Ning Feng's gaze turned icy.
"So I was right—just to assassinate me, Iwagakure is actually willing to send out the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchūriki."
The moment these words fell, not only were the purple-robed ninja and the Iwagakure Anbu stunned, but even Nagato and Konan were visibly shocked.
From what they could see, only the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Rōshi, had appeared—there was no sign at all of the Five-Tails Jinchūriki, Han.
"Worthy of the Third Rain Shadow, Uchiha Feng… to think you could even sense the presence of the Five-Tails Jinchūriki."
A cold voice echoed slowly.
Above Amegakure, the falling rain was silently pushed aside by terrifying steam. A red-clad ninja wearing a shinobi cap gradually revealed himself.
This man was none other than the so-called Steam Ninja—the Five-Tails Jinchūriki, Han.
The purpose of their arrival with the Iwagakure Anbu was simple: to join forces and kill Uchiha Feng, completely ending Amegakure's explosive growth.
After all, in the days since Uchiha Feng had taken full control of Amegakure, every statistic had surged crazily—especially with the addition of weapon factories and forging workshops. Amegakure now truly possessed the capital to compete in the future.
A rapidly rising Amegakure like this was undoubtedly Iwagakure's number-one enemy.
Thus, with no other choice, Ōnoki had secretly dispatched the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, the Five-Tails Jinchūriki, and Iwagakure Anbu to assassinate Uchiha Feng.
What neither Rōshi nor Han expected, however, was that Uchiha Feng would detect them first.
"Heh. Ever since I extorted a large amount of resources from your Iwagakure, I already guessed you wouldn't let this go,"
Uchiha Feng said coldly, the corner of his mouth lifting.
"You coming here today was also within my calculations."
Hearing this, Rōshi and Han exchanged shocked looks. With a silent understanding, the two charged straight toward Ning Feng.
In truth, Uchiha Feng had long wanted to secure a tailed beast for Amegakure—something that would give his village true deterrence against the others.
He simply hadn't expected Iwagakure to deliver two tailed beasts straight to his doorstep.
What a generous gift.
In an instant, brilliant golden light burst forth.
As a sinister glint flashed through Ning Feng's Mangekyō Sharingan, he directly manifested Susanoo.
Boom—!
A massive, golden Susanoo slammed into existence, blocking the combined assault of the Four-Tails Jinchūriki—already cloaked in Lava Release chakra—and the Five-Tails Jinchūriki in Steam Release chakra mode.
Even so, Ning Feng's Susanoo was torn open with a huge gash by the lava and steam, clearly displaying the terrifying strength of the two Jinchūriki.
"So this is the Uchiha clan's Susanoo…?"
Rōshi and Han exchanged stunned glances.
They were veterans of countless battles, yet never before had anyone been able to block their techniques—not even Kage-level powerhouses from the major villages.
Rumble—!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion shook the heavens, violently rattling all of Amegakure.
In the shocked eyes of Rōshi and Han, the Susanoo in front of them detonated outright.
A horrifying shockwave erupted from the center, spreading outward with devastating, earth-shattering force.
How could they have imagined that an Uchiha's Susanoo could explode?
By the time they reacted and tried to retreat, it was already too late.
They could only watch as the terrifying blast swallowed them whole.
High above, Uchiha Feng—who had appeared in the sky at some unknown moment—curved his lips slightly.
When he had manifested Susanoo earlier, he had taken advantage of the instant the two charged in to inject Explosion Release chakra into it.
As expected, under his control, the Susanoo detonated like a miniature nuclear blast, engulfing both the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchūriki.
Within the blinding white light, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki Rōshi appeared to be blasted unconscious. Behind him, the tailed beast chakra surged wildly, clearly on the verge of full transformation.
At the same time, the Five-Tails Jinchūriki Han barely managed to escape the core of the explosion with extreme speed—but even so, he was badly injured, his body drenched in blood.
As for the surrounding Iwagakure Anbu, they were completely swallowed by the blast—dead beyond all doubt.
Whoosh!
Han cast a deep look at Ning Feng, then flashed away, disappearing instantly—leaving only the Four-Tails Jinchūriki Rōshi behind on the battlefield.
Nagato and Konan were about to pursue, but Ning Feng waved his hand and let out a cold laugh.
If Han were to look down at himself right now, he would be shocked to discover that a Flying Thunder God space–time mark had already been placed on his body.
ROAR—!
A beast-like roar suddenly echoed through the air.
The unconscious Rōshi had now fully transformed into the Four-Tails, Son Gokū. Its enormous body radiated destructive pressure, as if it could annihilate the entire Amegakure in an instant.
Seeing the Four-Tails, Nagato and Konan both frowned deeply.
When a Jinchūriki lost consciousness, the tailed beast would often emerge in its true form, unleashing its monstrously destructive power.
Although the Four-Tails and Five-Tails were not as overwhelmingly powerful as the Nine-Tails, their destructive capabilities were still terrifying.
And just as Son Gokū locked its furious gaze onto Ning Feng—
Ning Feng's Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly flashed.
