438 Adopted by the Second Hokage!
🕑 Added 2025-12-21 06:11:01 +0000 UTCThis time was different from before. The Three Kage personally led the troops, their momentum overwhelming.
The purpose went without saying—naturally, it was to draw Renya out.
Konoha command tent.
Nara Mikage, the overall commander, informed Renya the moment he received the news.
"Renya, the Three Kage probably didn't come with good intentions. You must be extra careful."
Such an abnormal move could only mean there was another scheme at work.
Anyone with a bit of sense could tell their real target was Renya.
"I understand." Renya did not underestimate them.
These guys suddenly stopping their turtle tactics could only mean they had found a way to deal with him.
He was very curious—where exactly did their confidence come from?
Had they already forgotten the scene of the Third Mizukage being cut down?
"I've already sent word to Hiruzen. They'll come support you shortly." Nara Mikage said with a grave expression. "You absolutely must not put yourself in danger."
The target of this battle initiated by the Three Kage was Renya. He did not want Renya to be harmed.
Otherwise, how would he explain things to the Second-sama afterward?
Renya nodded. With the Gunbai on his back, his figure flashed and vanished from the spot.
...
On the frontline battlefield.
At this moment, Konoha ninja and Amegakure ninja were fighting together against the ninja of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure.
The three Kage, however, had no intention of joining in. They chose to stand atop a cliff, quietly watching the battle below.
Behind them were several Iwagakure ninja skilled in sealing techniques.
They were all waiting for Konoha's poison master to arrive.
Soon, Renya's figure appeared on the battlefield, and he immediately noticed the three figures on the cliff.
"Poison master, where did you take Blue B?!"
The moment the Second Raikage saw Renya, dazzling lightning erupted from his body.
Blue B's disappearance was absolutely inseparable from Renya!
This concerned the Eight-Tails. No matter what, they had to find out Blue B's whereabouts.
"Your village's Jinchūriki disappeared—what does that have to do with me?"
Renya looked at the Second Raikage with a puzzled expression, as if Blue B's disappearance truly had nothing to do with him.
This was the acting of a seasoned performer.
Even if Blue B's disappearance was related to him, he absolutely could not admit it.
Otherwise, if it reached Senju Tobirama's ears, things would get troublesome.
With that old kid's intelligence, capturing the Eight-Tails for no reason definitely had something to do with Uchiha Madara!
Plus the Gunbai on his back—it would be impossible to explain.
Seeing this, the Second Raikage couldn't help but feel doubtful. The poison master said it had nothing to do with him.
Could it be that Blue B's disappearance really wasn't his doing?
Forget it. Whether he did it or not—
This guy had to be dealt with here today!
"Die!"
The lightning around the Second Raikage grew even more dazzling as he transformed into a blue bolt and charged straight at Renya.
Watching the Raikage rush toward him, Renya pulled out the Gunbai from his back.
The two instantly erupted into a fierce battle.
On the cliff, Ōnoki saw this scene and spoke to the sealing ninja behind him.
"Prepare to set up the barrier."
Before his words even finished, he and the temporary Mizukage immediately joined the battlefield.
"Yes!"
Several Iwagakure ninja who had long been prepared rushed out at once. With practiced coordination, they planted stone spikes engraved with special runes around the battlefield.
At the same time, their hands formed seals at high speed, chakra surging into the stone spikes like a tide.
"Barrier Technique: Severed Sky Stone Prison Barrier—activate!"
Four earth-yellow, semi-transparent light screens rapidly rose and closed in, using the four stone spikes as anchors, forming a massive inverted-bowl-shaped barrier that enveloped Renya and the Three Kage within.
While fighting the three of them, Renya noticed the movement nearby out of the corner of his eye.
He felt a bit surprised. These guys were planning to use sealing techniques against him?
The moment the barrier formed, Renya immediately sensed the abnormality in the surrounding space.
He tried to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, only to find that the formula and coordinates were being interfered with.
"Hm?" Renya frowned slightly and glanced at the light screens around him. "A barrier that interferes with spatial fluctuations, huh… you came well prepared."
Seeing Renya's subtle reaction, Ōnoki felt reassured. It seemed that the [Severed Sky Stone Prison] had indeed sealed off spatial ninjutsu.
"Evil Uchiha Renya, within this space, not only can you not use spatial ninjutsu, you also won't be able to break through the seal in a short time."
"In other words…"
Before Ōnoki could finish, Renya interrupted him.
"In other words, I can only get out after killing all of you, right?"
Ōnoki: "???"
What the hell was this guy talking about?
The script wasn't supposed to go like this—weren't those their lines?
"Tsūchikage-sama, are you saying we can't get out either?"
The temporary Mizukage looked at Ōnoki in disbelief, his entire body going numb.
If they couldn't defeat Renya, wouldn't that mean they couldn't even run away?
What kind of joke was this?!
He was only the temporary Mizukage, after all.
If it really came down to strength, he wasn't even as strong as the deceased Third Mizukage.
If they really lost, the first person to die would definitely be him!
"What? We can't get out?!"
The Second Raikage was also dumbfounded. Why didn't that short old man say this earlier?
If they couldn't win, how was he supposed to escape?
If they could leave at will, Renya could just step outside the sealing range and use the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Wouldn't that just make them look like idiots?
Besides, isn't it normal for sealing techniques to have such restrictions?
It was common sense. He had assumed the two of them knew.
Raikage and Mizukage: "…"
"Heh heh heh, it's even better if you can't get out."
Renya's black eyes were replaced by a deep crimson as he directly activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"I was worried you'd run away again like before."
"Enough nonsense—let's hurry up and kill him together!"
Ōnoki hurriedly urged the other two to attack. Without the Flying Thunder God Technique, he refused to believe Renya could still evade his Dust Release!
"Dust Release!"
"Perfect timing to test a newly acquired weapon."
Renya gripped the handle of the Gunbai with both hands, raising the massive fan like a bronze shield in front of him as boundless chakra surged wildly into it.
The tomoe patterns on the Gunbai suddenly lit up, emitting a faint, eerie glow.
The next moment, the destructive Dust Release beam slammed solidly into the Gunbai.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any stalemate of clashing energies.
Instead, something happened that left Ōnoki—and everyone present—completely dumbstruck.
The all-conquering Dust Release, capable of disintegrating all matter, was actually absorbed entirely by the surface of the Gunbai the instant it made contact, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
"No… impossible!"
Ōnoki cried out in shock, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
His strongest kekkei tōta, the very thing he built his reputation on, had been absorbed by a fan?!
Feeling the enormous energy absorbed into the Gunbai, a cold arc curled at the corner of Renya's mouth.
