Senju Tobirama: "I knew it, has she finally appeared? The Third Herrscher!"
Uzumaki Kana: "Karin, you..."
Terumi Mei: "So, what kind of abilities will this beautiful young lady possess?"
["What?"
Under everyone's incredulous gazes, the two Anbu who touched this black mist only had time to let out a miserable shriek before being eroded by the black mist until not even scum remained!
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
"Flying Thunder God Slash!"
"Wood Release: Wood Cutting Technique!"
Instantly, the three who reacted the fastest launched an attack.
Minato Namikaze and Senju Tobirama flanked her from the left and right, arriving beside Karin almost instantly. One holding a dagger and the other holding a ninja sword, they launched fatal attacks aimed at Karin's heart and neck.
And around her, countless branches had already grown out, violently stabbing towards Karin.
As long as these branches could hit their target, they would grow madly inside the target's body, causing tremendously destructive damage to the human body!
It could be said that as long as you were pierced by these branches, unless you had some special abilities, basically a hit meant death!
"Meow!"
Seeing that they were being attacked, Uzumaki Kana grew anxious. She didn't care about hiding anymore; her body size instantly expanded. She swatted away the ninja who tried to attack her with a single paw and lunged towards Karin.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Countless people watched this scene with extreme nervousness, anticipating the result.
And then...
"Heh~"
They saw Karin smile faintly in the face of all the attacks. She didn't even make a move to dodge.
Whoosh~
A gentle breeze brushed past, and moving with the wind was the black mist.
Anyone or anything that touched this black mist withered away completely!
The Kunai in Minato Namikaze's hand disappeared little by little. An irresistible force transmitted to his body, making him witness with his own eyes how his body vanished.
Senju Tobirama was the same.
"Quick, all Reanimation Jutsu individuals stay behind to hold off the Herrscher, the rest of you flee immediately! This is an order, you must execute it!"
Senju Tobirama immediately realized things were bad and shouted with the last of his strength.
Those predecessors brought out by the Reanimation Jutsu charged towards Uzumaki Karin without any hesitation, but Tsunade, seeing this scene, wanted them to escape together.
"Karin's power is too terrifying. Even bodies from the Reanimation Jutsu will instantly disappear without the slightest sign of recovery. If it were a living person, it would just be throwing their life away for nothing. Someone must stay behind to hold her off!"
Orochimaru grabbed Tsunade, turned around, and left.
Jiraiya and the others also knew that now was not the time to hesitate. For every second they hesitated, they lost a fraction of hope for survival.
It didn't matter if they died; the key was, what would happen to the remaining survivors?]
Onoki: "Just what exactly is that black mist? Why does it feel a bit like Particle Release? Lord Second, what do you say?"
Mu: "The principle of Particle Release is to dismantle all matter, and this black mist indeed looks like Particle Release, but it always feels like there's some fundamental difference."
["Interesting, but they are merely empty shells. To think they can actually house souls, is this your method of Resurrection? It is truly incredibly crude."
Looking at the Reanimation Jutsu army guarding against her all around, Karin smiled disdainfully.
She slowly walked over to Kana and placed her hand on Kana's tiger-sized body.
Immediately following that, massive Honkai Energy surged into her body, causing her to let out a suppressed cry of pain.
"Don't be afraid, Mother. This is a gift, a gift from the Herrscher of Death—Lord of Serenity!"
"Herrscher of Death—Lord of Serenity... You actually turned into a Herrscher? Exactly why? How did you change?" Senju Hashirama stepped forward.
Looking at Uzumaki Karin, the surrounding ninjas did not attack immediately. After all, their mission was to stall for time. Of course, if they could gather some intelligence, that would be even better.
"First Hokage, compared to your younger brother, you really are... completely lacking in scheming~"
Karin sighed. Her perspective on this legendary God of Shinobi had greatly changed.
Although it was all a change in a bad direction...
"God bestows upon me a brocade robe, providing the wine of death, for a sweet descent into a dream."
The pajamas on Karin's body began to change. Accompanied by a burst of light, a gorgeous evening dress appeared on Karin's body.
The dress was blue, adorned with red spider lilies. The slim-fitting dress made Karin's perfect figure even more alluring.
The hair on Karin's back began to grow longer until it slightly touched the ground, and above her forehead, an exquisite blue butterfly hair accessory was pinned into it.
On Karin's hands, a pair of long black gloves wrapped her soft fingers.
And on Karin's legs, there were no stockings wrapping them; she merely stepped in a pair of blue crystal high heels, making her straight legs look even more slender.
At the same time, Kana's movements finally stopped.
Her enormous body lay flat on the floor. The back of this tiger-like cat trembled slightly. Immediately after, a small slit cracked open, and then, a blue butterfly flew out from it.
What kind of butterfly was that?
Its body seemed to be carved from the most sparkling blue crystal in the world, crystal clear.
It seemed less like a living creature and more like the most exquisite work of art in the world!
And as this butterfly fluttered, blue specks of light scattered down like scale powder, leaving behind a magnificently beautiful trail.
But at this moment, no one dared to underestimate this beautiful butterfly, because everyone knew that this was probably this Herrscher's Companion Honkai Beast.
"You may call me the Herrscher of Death, but I prefer another title—Lord of Serenity!" Karin looked at the butterfly on her shoulder and revealed a happy smile.
"Herrscher of Death, Lord of Serenity..."
Herrscher of Death? Does that mean her Authority is related to death?
Lord of Serenity... Serenity, meaning the range of her Authority's effect is very large, so it would cause all living beings within a vast area to die and plunge into serenity?
Or could it be that she has some sort of domain ability, and within this domain, no living creature can exist?
Just as everyone was guessing Karin's Authority, she moved.
They saw her walk in front of the broken walls and look up at the dim sky above.
"Go."
The Death Butterfly that landed on her fingertip split off a Clone and flew towards New Konoha.
"What are you trying to do?"
Seeing this, Senju Hashirama and the others immediately became even more tense.
"Don't worry, Grandma Mito, Aunt Kushina. Even if only for your sakes, I won't make things difficult for New Konoha. I am just sending some people who deserve to die to the place where they belong."
Karin said softly, seemingly talking about something insignificant.
"People who deserve to die..."
They immediately realized who Karin was talking about and somewhat breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, it's time for me to leave."
"Leave? Where to?"
"To go home, of course."
Karin gazed at the dim sky, revealing a sorrowful expression.
Possessing all of Karin's memories, she naturally could also empathize with her. She would absolutely not break the promise she made to her other self!]
