The "Hmph! Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just see the Raikage whenever you want? Brothers, for the Cloud Village—charge!"
With that, a dozen Cloud Ninja rushed toward Isamu.
"Heh… ants trying to fight an elephant. Truly a mayfly trying to shake a tree. Boys, take them out," Isamu ordered calmly.
"Roar!"
Five small Nine-Tailed forms shot forward like streaks of red light, while the other five remained in place, lashing out with their tails.
"Ahhh!"
In an instant, the Cloud Ninja were completely overwhelmed.
Some were pierced through by tails, others had their necks snapped, and some were torn apart. Against the miniature Nine-Tails, they stood no chance.
---
"It looks like the civilians have already evacuated," Isamu said, glancing around.
"Zhan, aim at that housing area. Fire a Tailed Beast Bomb. Flush the Raikage out."
Despite everything, Isamu still avoided targeting civilians directly. They weren't shinobi—there was no need to involve them.
Zhan immediately condensed a Tailed Beast Ball, swallowed it, and fired.
Whoosh!
A terrifying blast shot toward the residential area—
"Enough!"
A figure arrived instantly.
Covered in Lightning Release Chakra Armor, A (Third Raikage) split the attack in half with a single chop.
BOOM!
Even so, the surrounding buildings were still partially destroyed.
"Damn it! Isamu, what exactly are you trying to do? Is Konohagakure declaring war on us?!"
---
Isamu sighed.
"What a shame… I could've wiped out that entire area. Only half got destroyed."
"Zhan, you'll need to do better next time."
The Nine-Tailed form lowered its head silently.
---
Seeing himself ignored, the Raikage's anger exploded.
"Damn brat!"
He surged forward in a flash of lightning—
BANG!
Isamu calmly crossed his arms and blocked the strike. The ground beneath him shattered from the force.
"What strength," Isamu said casually. "Ay, your temper hasn't changed. Ever thought about calming down?"
---
"You destroy my walls, kill my men, attack my village—and you expect me to stay calm?!" Ay roared, increasing his power.
---
"It seems talking calmly with you isn't possible without a demonstration…"
"Susanoo."
Activating his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, a skeletal giant formed around Isamu. A massive bone arm swung—
BANG!
—sending the Raikage flying back.
---
"Lord Raikage!"
The Shadow Guard Squad rushed in, catching him.
"Are you alright?!"
"I'm fine," Ay said, standing up. "That wasn't enough to hurt me."
He locked eyes with Isamu.
"Speak. What does Konoha want?"
---
"Heh… looks like I really do need to show some strength before talking."
"Answer me, Isamu!" Ay roared.
---
"Listen carefully," Isamu said, his tone turning serious.
"This is no joke. And I'm not insane."
"I, Isamu, on behalf of myself and the entire Uchiha Martial Faction—declare war on you, the Cloud Village, and the other Three Great Shinobi Villages."
"The battlefield will be the northern border of the Land of Fire. One month from now."
---
Silence.
The Raikage… and his guards… froze.
"…Have you lost your mind?" Ay said slowly.
"With just this handful of people, you want to challenge all Four Great Shinobi Villages?"
---
"I'll say it again—I'm not joking."
"You'll see in one month."
---
Ay frowned deeply.
"…You're serious?"
---
"Look around you," Isamu said, pointing at the ten miniature Nine-Tails.
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
---
Ay's expression darkened.
Tailed Beast power… how is he controlling it?
Could this be Konoha's doing…?
---
"So this is Konoha's plan," Ay growled. "Using you to test Tailed Beast power before conquering the world. Do you think we're fools?!"
---
Isamu burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Ay, since becoming Raikage, your thinking has gotten way too complicated."
"I said it clearly—this is my war."
"And if Konoha interferes…"
"I'll crush them too."
---
"This time… I will become the second God of Shinobi."
"And restore the glory of the Uchiha!"
"Hahahaha!"
---
Ay narrowed his eyes.
…Is he really just insane?
"…Fine," Ay said coldly. "If you want to destroy yourself, then don't blame us for uniting against you."
---
"Hahaha! The Four Great Villages? I fear none of you."
"Come at me—I'll crush you all."
---
Suddenly—
WHOOSH!
Ay vanished.
"Hell Stab!"
His hand pierced straight through Isamu's body—
—and hit the rock behind him.
---
The guards froze in shock.
"It… passed through him?!"
---
"Heh," Ay muttered, shaking his hand. "So you were ready…"
"I thought I could end this war right here."
---
"Save it, Ay," Isamu said calmly.
"I've already accounted for you."
"Instead of wasting time here… you should be thinking about how to survive what's coming."
"I'll be waiting."
---
A swirling vortex appeared—
And in an instant, Isamu and the ten miniature Nine-Tails vanished using Kamui.
