Since when does a savior look like this...?
Even the Third Raikage was starting to look at Kazuki differently—was this guy insane?
The most terrifying madmen aren’t the ones who kill for pleasure, like some deranged psychopath...
No, it’s the ones who believe they’re righteous—who carry out so-called justice through brutal means, completely devoid of guilt or compassion. Sometimes, they’re even boosted by a sense of moral superiority.
And at this moment, Kazuki’s expression was entirely serious—no trace of mockery.
As if the tens of thousands of ninja he had just slaughtered… had died for peace—that their souls had sacrificed themselves willingly.
Not because of him. Not because of a massacre.
“He’s too dangerous. No matter the cost, Uchiha Kazuki must die today!”
The Third Raikage made up his mind. He raised his elbow high, crackling with violent lightning—
Kazuki’s eyes sharpened. Even stronger lightning burst from his body, and he charged forward in the same stance—
Elbow versus elbow.
This was a contest of pure physical strength.
The Third Raikage grinned menacingly. In terms of hand-to-hand combat, he was second to none.
Even the mighty Eight-Tails couldn’t leave a scratch on him after a drawn-out brawl where both were left exhausted.
In a world where most ninja were 'glass cannons', the Raikage’s indestructible body stood unmatched.
But the moment he collided with Kazuki—
His grin froze.
Where the hell did an Uchiha get strength like this?!
After clashing elbows with Kazuki, his entire right arm went numb. The muscles and tendons refused to respond.
“I have to admit… when it comes to the body alone, you’re the strongest ninja I’ve ever seen…”
Kazuki’s Sharingan spun slowly. His fist, wrapped in a thick layer of bone armor, surged with dense, azure chakra—and drove straight into the Raikage’s chest.
The Raikage’s eyes bulged with fury. He raised his left arm—the one still working—blocking with his palm, making no attempt to dodge.
Neither dodged. Both aimed for the heart in close-quarters combat.
This was no ninja fight—it was a brawl between berserkers.
Kazuki’s punch landed, sending the Raikage flying like a cannonball into a distant mountainside.
[Boom!]
Rocks and debris scattered everywhere.
Kazuki stumbled back a few steps, a heavy look in his eyes.
On his chest, the thick white bone armor had been split open by the Raikage’s piercing strike, exposing raw flesh beneath.
That was dangerously close.
If the Raikage had pierced his body, Kazuki would’ve lost one of his trump cards.
More than the Lightning Chakra Mode or the Shikotsumyaku...
What truly made Kazuki’s body nearly indestructible was the result of constant refinement—
The combined bloodlines of countless Otsutsuki descendants, tireless training, medical ninjutsu, Lightning Chakra infusion, and the forging power of natural energy.
“A ninja worth learning from… I acknowledge your strength.”
Kazuki looked down at his wound seriously.
“I always knew the power of Nukite peaks with a running start. But even a standing strike can cut through my armor like that?”
“Even my Shikotsumyaku was split…”
“You’re dangerous, Raikage.”
As he praised the Raikage’s strength, the torn bone armor rapidly regenerated before their eyes.
“Monster… a total, complete monster!”
Ōnoki, still floating midair, looked horrified.
Even Kazuki had mastered the Shikotsumyaku?
That doesn’t make any sense!
He remembered how Kazuki had instantly copied Pakura’s Scorch Release…
Now, eyeing the red glow leaking from Kazuki’s Sharingan, a terrible thought crept into his mind—
Could Kazuki’s Mangekyō ability be the power to copy any ninjutsu?!
That would explain everything—from the Steam Imp he used to bombard Kirigakure, to the Adamantine Sealing Chains during the tailed beast chakra extraction from Han and Roshi…
After all, Uchiha Mangekyō abilities are notoriously unreasonable—born to shatter logic itself.
Down in the ravine, the Third Raikage clutched his chest. Blood welled in his throat and spilled from his mouth.
His chest, where Kazuki had struck, had visibly caved in.
Since perfecting his Lightning Chakra Mode, the Raikage had considered himself invincible.
Even wind-release jutsu—natural counters to lightning—couldn’t harm him. Only Dust Release posed any real threat.
Kazuki, though younger, had surpassed him through bloodline, hard work, and relentless forging.
Now his body was tougher than steel.
Gritting his teeth, the Raikage jammed both hands onto his chest, forcing the broken bones back into place. His glare grew more ferocious.
But Kazuki’s battle wasn’t over.
The moment the Raikage was sent flying, four Jinchūriki in Version 2 state charged in, preventing Kazuki from pursuing.
After suspecting Kazuki might be linked to the Ten-Tails…
And in the face of fear, awe, and dread—the four remaining Tailed Beasts willingly gave their full power to their hosts.
No holding back.
Kazuki must be killed!
These Jinchūriki now radiated far greater power than ever before. Their Tailed Beast chakra was so thick, it seemed to spill from their bodies.
“Careful what you wish for…”
Kazuki smirked. Without flinching, countless dark golden chains exploded from his back!
Killer Bee, with his battle instincts and link to the Eight-Tails, barely managed to retreat in time.
But the Adamantine Sealing Chains pierced into the Jinchūriki of the One-Tail, Two-Tails, and Seven-Tails—
Chains renowned for suppressing Tailed Beasts and sealing chakra overwhelmed them.
The ferocious hosts were instantly drained—struggling desperately to pull the chains out of their bodies.
Through the chains, chakra from all three Tailed Beasts flowed directly into Kazuki.
He transferred this stolen chakra into his Rinne Sharingan with Nine Tomoe.
Until the Rinne Sharingan with Nine Tomoe absorbed enough Tailed Beast chakra…
It was just an empty shell. Useless for summoning Kaguya's consciousness.
Like an arcade machine—you have to insert coins before playing.
Kazuki wasn’t stingy.
What’s the point of having a fancy Rinne Sharingan if it only works occasionally to scare Tobirama?
Although Kaguya has now absorbed the tailed beast chakra provided to her by Kazuki for free, after her consciousness awakens, these initial efforts will be returned a hundredfold.
He was confident in that.
For broke, talentless guys like Shisui or Asuma, Kazuki wouldn’t bother squeezing them dry.
But a powerhouse like Kaguya—overflowing with potential but unable to unleash it?
Kazuki was more than happy to milk her for everything she’s worth.
Through the chains, the rich chakra of the Tailed Beast poured into Kaguya's dormant essence within the Rinne Sharingan.
A terrifying red light engulfed Kazuki from the inside out—so blinding even Tobirama couldn’t keep his eyes open.
As Kaguya devoured chakra, Kazuki’s aura grew more terrifying—tinged with madness and annihilation.
“Kazuki—be careful!”
Tobirama shouted with his eyes shut.
“Don’t draw too much! Just take a portion from each Jinchūriki! Any more and we won’t be able to control that monster…!”
In his view, Kazuki’s plan was sound…
According to the Uchiha Stone Tablet, in order to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, one must gather the chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts.
So, incomplete Tailed Beasts wouldn't do.
Since the plan was to permanently seal away the Sage of Six Paths, they had to ensure a double-layered safeguard—not only trapping his true form within Kazuki but also crippling the Tailed Beasts necessary to revive the Ten-Tails, reducing each to a fragmented state.
That was the safest route.
After all, Tobirama wasn’t a transmigrant—how could he possibly know that even a single octopus tentacle could substitute for the entire Eight-Tails? Or that the Gold and Silver Brothers could count in place of the full Nine-Tails?
Yet even so, as Kaguya’s consciousness slowly began to reawaken within Kazuki, the pressure it exerted was enough to leave the experienced Second Hokage breathless.
It was terrifying.
Tobirama had never laid eyes on Kaguya’s true form, but even this mere presence convinced him—this was a world-ending force.
As Kazuki restrained the three Jinchūriki, the backup trio—Hanzo, Chiyo, and the Third Kazekage—launched their coordinated assault.
Dozens of salamanders burst from the ground. At their head was Ibuse, the giant salamander, whose maw opened wide, spewing lethal violet mist in Kazuki’s direction.
Ten red-and-white puppets fired off powerful lion-head-shaped seals, each snapping toward Kazuki with biting precision.
Simultaneously, without a sound, an iron-sand barrier sealed off every direction around him. Massive inverted cones of magnetic sand rushed in from all sides, their sharp tips gleaming ominously.
Kazuki cast a glance at the combined attack and gave a subtle nod.
Sealing techniques, poison arts, and Magnet Release—this combo was clearly crafted to counter someone like him.
Especially the Magnet Release. The intense magnetic field disrupted any chance of throwing his Flying Thunder God kunai, blocking his ability to teleport. He had no choice but to take the hit head-on.
