Uchiha Tobirama's mocking voice rang sharply through the night air.
He still stood with both hands in his pockets, posture relaxed.
Facing the murderous Captain of the Military Police and the fanatical Teigu user overflowing with distorted "justice," he didn't make a single defensive move.
His entire body was full of openings.
Yet in Ogre and Seryu's eyes, Tobirama at that moment was like an unfathomable abyss—a demonic mountain impossible to cross.
"Don't look down on people!!!"
Seryu's eyes were bloodshot, the so-called expression of justice on her face completely twisted into madness.
"Koro! Berserk! Tear him apart!"
"ROAR!"
Responding to its master's command, the biological Teigu, Hekatonkheires, let out an earth-shaking roar.
Its already massive body expanded once more. Muscles swelled grotesquely as its gaping maw lunged toward Tobirama like a charging mountain of flesh.
At the same time—
"Ouka the Ghost" moved as well.
Fully aware of the terror of the man before him, Ogre did not dare to hold back even slightly.
"Kill!"
His muscles tightened instantly, blood surging as the longsword in his hand cut a shrill arc through the air, aimed straight for Tobirama's throat.
One from above.
One from below.
A perfectly coordinated pincer attack.
Faced with an assault powerful enough to shred steel and crush stone, Tobirama didn't even lift an eyelid.
He simply stood there.
Buzz—
An invisible force spread outward, centered on Tobirama.
Armament Haki: Emission.
This supreme defensive technique from the Pirate World, supported by Tobirama's bottomless reserves, had long reached an almost conceptual level.
Clang!
Crack!
Two ear-splitting sounds rang out simultaneously.
A horrifying sight followed.
Koro's berserk fangs—capable of biting through city walls—seemed to crash against an invisible, absolute barrier hovering half a meter above Tobirama's head.
Sparks flew.
Koro let out a pained howl as its teeth snapped apart, blood spraying as it recoiled.
On the other side, Ogre's full-power slash halted thirty centimeters from Tobirama's body.
No matter how hard Ogre pushed, veins bulging and face flushing red, the blade refused to advance even a millimeter.
Instead, a terrifying rebound surged back through the sword.
Bang!
The longsword shattered into countless fragments.
Ogre felt his arm go numb as his body was thrown backward, skidding over a dozen meters before barely stopping.
"This… this is impossible!"
He clutched his bleeding hand, eyes wide with disbelief.
Seryu stood frozen as well, staring at the wailing Koro.
No dodging.
No counterattack.
He hadn't even moved.
Just by standing there, he had completely crushed their full-force assault.
"Is that all?"
Tobirama yawned, eyes filled with boredom.
"You can't even break my protective field, and you call this risking your lives?"
He looked down at them with pure contempt.
"I'll give you one last chance."
"Use your strongest trump card. If you can make me take even half a step back, I'll leave you a whole corpse."
Arrogant.
Utterly arrogant.
Yet before absolute strength, that arrogance became suffocating despair.
"Master!" Seryu clenched her teeth. "We have to use that move!"
Ogre's expression twisted as well.
"Fine! We go all out!"
"Secret Technique: Ghost God—Peerless Shadow Slash!"
Throwing away the shattered blade, Ogre drew the short sword at his waist. Burning his life force, his body turned into a blood-red afterimage, moving faster than the eye could follow.
Success—or death.
At the same time, Seryu bit her finger and smeared blood across Koro's forehead.
"Koro! Remove all limits! Berserk Frenzy Mode!"
"ROOOAR—!"
Koro's body turned an eerie crimson, swelling to over ten meters tall. Its arms transformed into massive, crushing weapons as it smashed down toward Tobirama with overwhelming force.
Above.
Below.
Two attacks capable of destroying an entire street collided at once.
RUMBLE—!
The ground shook violently. Shockwaves blasted outward as stone shattered and dust filled the air.
Behind them, the members of Night Raid stared at the dust-shrouded center.
That attack…
No matter how strong he was, taking it head-on should have caused some damage.
Right?
But when the dust slowly cleared—
Despair filled every pair of eyes.
In the center of the ruined ground, Tobirama still stood there, hands in his pockets.
The tile beneath his feet was completely intact.
Within half a meter of his body existed an absolute forbidden zone.
Koro's massive arm hung uselessly, its bones crushed by the rebound.
Ogre lay dozens of meters away, bloodied and barely conscious.
Unscathed.
Not even a speck of dust touched Tobirama's black coat.
"Is it over?"
Tobirama stepped forward.
Step. Step. Step.
Each calm footstep sounded like a death knell to the two of them.
He stopped in front of Ogre and Seryu, looking down coldly.
"Bugs are still bugs."
"Even if you gamble your lives and squeeze out everything you have…"
"Is this really all you can do?"
The words struck like blades.
Seryu could no longer speak.
Her faith, her justice, her pride—utterly crushed.
"How boring."
Tobirama sighed lightly.
"Since you're finished, I'll send you off."
Black lightning flickered at his fingertips, death pressing down on them.
"Wait—wait!"
Seryu suddenly collapsed forward, kneeling hard on the rubble.
"I beg you! Spare my Master!"
She slammed her head to the ground again and again.
"I'll die in his place! Please—let him live!"
Her voice broke completely.
The Night Raid members watched in silence, emotions complicated.
But Tobirama smiled.
A strange, chilling smile.
"Are you sick?"
He looked down at her.
"Who told you that if he lives, you don't die?"
Seryu froze.
Tobirama crouched slightly, tapping her cheek.
"I never planned to spare either of you."
"Your life was mine the moment you stood in front of me."
"What do you think you have to bargain with?"
Her mind shattered.
At that moment, Ogre crawled forward, abandoning all dignity.
"My Lord! Mercy!"
"I have information! Wealth! I can be your dog!"
Seryu stared at him in disbelief.
This… was her Master?
Tobirama straightened, disgust flashing through his eyes.
"A dog?"
"In my kennel, even monsters line up."
"You?"
His finger flicked.
A thin streak of black lightning flashed.
Ogre's body stiffened, then collapsed silently.
"Mas…ter…"
Seryu stared blankly, trembling.
Tobirama turned away, dispersing the lightning.
"The trash is cleaned up."
He glanced toward Night Raid.
"Come along."
"Tonight, there are still many 'important matters' to deal with."
