Deidara: "Goodness, is the birth of the Fourth Herrscher really this impactful? @Gaara, you both play with sand, so why is the gap so huge?"
Gaara: "...What she controls isn't sand."
Orochimaru: "@Herrscher of Reason, what is an Ideal Fluid?"
Everyone immediately focused their attention on the bullet chat on the Sky Screen, anticipating Uchiha Hoshi's answer.
First Herrscher - Uchiha Hoshino: "An Ideal Fluid, huh? That is something that only appears in theory, but could never possibly exist in reality."
Uzumaki Naruto: "Isn't that the same as saying nothing at all?"
Uchiha Sasuke: "Who's to say she even knows it herself?"
Countless people who wanted to obtain intelligence from Uchiha Hoshi were disappointed.
Either Uchiha Hoshi truly didn't know the Fourth Herrscher's Authority, or she knew but didn't want to say.
However, considering that after the Sky Screen, those who appeared on it would also gain the abilities shown in the future.
Barring any accidents, Temari would also master the Fourth Herrscher's Authority. When that time came, perhaps they could just ask her?
[On the Sky Screen, people all across the Ninja World stared in horror at the massive storm, plunging into despair.
Faced with such a natural disaster, could they truly survive?
Land of Water, Shinobi Alliance Headquarters. Everyone had come outdoors, their eyes wide as they gazed at the terrifying scene under the night sky, which looked as if the heavens themselves were collapsing.
"That direction... it looks like the Land of Wind..."
Ebizo muttered softly as he looked at the colossal storm sweeping up yellow sand beneath the dim night sky.
"Oh no, the village!"
Ebizo realized that something must have happened back at the village, wishing he could return this very instant.
But the problem was that he was already very old and didn't have much combat power left. Even if he went back, he probably wouldn't be of any help.
The main issue was that the Alliance no longer had any spare combat power to reinforce the Hidden Sand Village.
Even Gaara had already followed the First Hokage to the Land of Lightning to fight against that terrifying Thunderbird.
Compared to the Honkai Beasts heading in other directions, the Beast Tide making its way to the Land of Lightning was the largest in number and the most powerful.
Among them, Honkai Beasts capable of flight made up the majority.
It could be said that out of the four Beast Tides, this particular tide directly laid claim to half of all the flying Honkai Beasts.
Especially the Templar-class Honkai Beasts, whose numbers accounted for nearly half of the entire Beast Tide!
Although the Beast Tide in the Land of Wind was also dangerous, it was still within a controllable range and wouldn't deal a devastating blow to the Land of Wind in the short term.
But the Land of Lightning was different. If this Beast Tide wasn't dealt with, or if that Thunderbird wasn't lured away, then more than half of the Land of Lightning would likely be destroyed!
Therefore, under the strong demands of the Land of Lightning's nobility, the First Hokage had no choice but to transfer the majority of their military forces to the Land of Lightning.
The fact that he hadn't drafted forces from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind was already a testament to the First Hokage's benevolence.
However, even with Senju Hashirama present, dealing with a Beast Tide of this magnitude was no easy feat.
In fact, if it weren't for Senju Hashirama's current special state, he would have long since died at the hands of the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, the Thunderbird.
Yet even so, facing the Thunderbird, he was entirely powerless to fight back the entire time.
The strength of both sides wasn't on the same level at all. More importantly, the Thunderbird could fly, meaning his attacks couldn't even land on it.
Furthermore, the massive thunderstorms caused by the Thunderbird inflicted heavy casualties on the men he had brought with him.
Even the Ninjas keeping it occupied on the perimeter were similarly affected, with some even dying as a result.
Those Ninjas who lacked the strength could only try to find ways to lure the Beast Tide away; they had absolutely no way of directly combating a Beast Tide of this level.]
Senju Hashirama: "What a tragic battle. Even I would be beaten half to death when facing a Honkai Beast of this caliber."
Senju Tobirama: "Big brother, I told you long ago. If you want to fight against the Honkai, you must discard unnecessary mercy."
Senju Hashirama: "..."
[Senju Hashirama led his men to tangle with the Thunderbird here, while the remaining Ninjas guided the Beast Tide, preventing them from approaching the towns.
Meanwhile, the residents in the towns evacuated under the guidance of the Ninjas.
However, the number of people who actually managed to evacuate and survive was very, very small.
Most people were left at death's door due to excessive Honkai Energy the moment the Beast Tide drew near.
Even more people were subsequently turned into Zombies as a result.
More than half of the Land of Lightning had fallen into a state of ruin.
Land of Earth.
This country, which possessed Ninjas proficient in Earth Release, did not confront the Beast Tide head-on.
They used Earth Release to alter the terrain, not only restricting the Beast Tide but also buying time for the civilians within their borders to evacuate.
At the same time, they established massive underground shelters, ensuring the safety of as many people as possible.
Among the countries experiencing the Beast Tide, their situation was the best.
On the other hand, the situation in the Land of Fire, which was also struck by the Beast Tide, was nowhere near as optimistic.
The situation in the Land of Fire was somewhat complicated; this was Uchiha Hoshi's territory.
Without knowing the First Herrscher's attitude, no Ninja dared to arrogantly strut into this country.
Even though it was the wealthiest country in the entire Ninja World.
Even though, prior to this, Uchiha Hoshi hadn't triggered a single Beast Tide.
But because of the remarks she made upon her awakening, the Ninja World had already tacitly agreed that she was their enemy.
The only reason they were currently at peace was simply because they lacked the power to crusade against Uchiha Hoshi.
As a result, this wave of the Beast Tide was practically sweeping through the Land of Fire like dead leaves, facing zero resistance the entire way!
However, the only ones dying were actually just the ordinary civilians. Those nobles and wealthy merchants had long since moved to the Land of Lightning, transferring the majority of their assets over as well.
Otherwise, the nobility of the Land of Lightning wouldn't have been able to call the Alliance's main forces over to protect their country.
It was simply because the Shinobi Alliance's largest and second-largest financial backers were all right there!
The Beast Tide in the Land of Fire also seemed to know that Uchiha Hoshi was here. Because of this, they only rampaged in areas far away from her, not daring to get too close to her, the First Herrscher.
Undisturbed by these Honkai Beasts, Uchiha Hoshi was happy to enjoy the peace and quiet.
Besides, what she was actually most interested in right now was the Herrscher born over in the Land of Wind.
"Since I didn't know a Herrscher would be born in the Land of Wind beforehand, I didn't dispatch an Avatar over there. And the spatial coordinates I left in the Land of Wind previously can no longer be sensed due to the excessive Honkai Energy..."
Uchiha Hoshi activated an Avatar that looked exactly like a completely ordinary Golden Eagle.
"Now, I can only fly over there."
This Avatar looked incredibly ordinary, but it had actually undergone her modifications, so its combat power wasn't weak. Most importantly, it flew fast.
"Screech~"
Accompanied by its cry, the Golden Eagle spread its wings and took to the sky, flying toward the Land of Wind.]]
