A black rod suddenly flew in from the side, piercing straight into Kai's arm. Caught off guard, a sharp pain surged through him, causing the Rasenshuriken in his hand to veer off course as he threw it.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a massive crater with a diameter of several hundred meters appeared on the battlefield!
"This is!"
Seeing the black rod embedded in his arm, Kai's pupils contracted: "A black rod produced by Yin-Yang Release!"
The Tenseigan Chakra Mode on his arm was also gradually fading away. Therefore, Kai was certain that this was indeed a black rod created by Yin-Yang Release. Pulling out the rod, Kai frowned deeply:
"Yin-Yang Release! In this era, the only ones who can use it are Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu. Madara Uchiha needs to constantly rely on the power of the Gedo Statue to sustain his fragile life, so it's obvious he couldn't appear in the Land of Water. That leaves only Black Zetsu as a possibility, trying to stop me from killing the Tailed Beasts, likely because it fears the plan to resurrect Kaguya Ōtsutsuki will be disrupted. After all, reviving Kaguya Ōtsutsuki cannot be done without the Tailed Beasts."
After pulling out the black rod, thanks to Kai's perfect Sage Body's regenerative abilities, his arm healed completely in just a few breaths, and the Tenseigan Chakra Mode once again enveloped his arm.
Kagura Mind's Eye!
With Kage-level strength, enhanced by the power of the Tenseigan, the Kagura Mind's Eye expanded, probing a range of nearly a hundred kilometers in radius.
Countless chakra traces imprinted in Kai's mind, yet there was no presence of any unusual chakra.
"The Mayfly Technique, huh? It sure escaped quickly."
Not sensing any trace of Black Zetsu, Kai wasn't disappointed.
One must admit that Black Zetsu is extremely adept at concealment. Once the Mayfly Technique is activated, it cuts off all traces, merging with the earth and vegetation, leaving no trace of its presence.
Throughout the centuries, the ninja world has seen super Kage-level powerhouses like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, but none have discovered Black Zetsu's existence.
Kai is currently only at Kage-level strength. Even with the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, he is merely half a step into the super Kage-level realm, still far from being a true super Kage-level. Failing to detect Black Zetsu is quite normal.
While Kai was searching for Black Zetsu, the Three-Tails and Six-Tails took the opportunity to flee. However, the Three-Tails and Six-Tails do not possess Black Zetsu'sMayfly Technique, and their chakra traces were as conspicuous as beacons in Kai'sKagura Mind's Eye.
"Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Ten-Tails, Divine Tree, even if you are resurrected, so what? There's still twenty years left, enough time for me to become stronger than you. Besides, the chakra fruit, I'm quite interested in that."
With a thought, Kai gave up the pursuit of the Three-Tails and Six-Tails.
"Uncle Shishio, the Three-Tails and Six-Tails have fled the battlefield, and Fuguki Suikazan has been killed by me. The remaining forces of the Mist Ninja on the battlefield are no longer a threat. Let's finish the battle quickly; I still have scores to settle with the Uchiha and Hyuga."
Kai turned to the somewhat dazed Mitarashi Shishio and said.
Mitarashi Shishio blinked, unable to believe everything that had just happened.
Kai had actually suppressed two Tailed Beasts on his own, and if it weren't for the unexpected interference at the end, he would have killed both Tailed Beasts!
Throughout the entire battle, he didn't even have a chance to intervene!
If he hadn't personally fought against the Three-Tails' Jinchuriki before, Mitarashi Shishio would never have believed these two Tailed Beasts were real.
"Alright."
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Mitarashi Shishio knew now wasn't the time to discuss this topic and turned to join the battlefield.
With Kai and Mitarashi Shishio joining the battle, the situation on the battlefield shifted instantly.
Not to mention Kai in the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, with his half-step super Kage-level strength, there was no one on the battlefield who could match him.
Mitarashi Shishio also displayed his peak Kage-level prowess to the fullest, wielding wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth release jutsu with incredible mastery, without repeating a single technique, like a textbook example.
The Ino-Shika-Chō trio cooperated seamlessly, using Shadow Imitation Technique, Mind Body Switch Technique, and Human Bullet Tank Technique. The secret techniques of the three clans were executed with extreme coordination, killing several Mist Ninja every minute.
It didn't take long for the battlefield to quiet down, with the remaining Mist Ninja either retreating or being wiped out by the Konoha forces.
However, the Konoha forces didn't fare much better. In the entire Land of Water battlefield, excluding the Uchiha and Hyuga ninjas, nearly a thousand ninjas, only about two hundred survived.
Looking at the fallen Konoha ninjas on the battlefield, Mitarashi Shishio's expression was grim. If it weren't for the Uchiha and Hyuga's sudden withdrawal, such heavy casualties wouldn't have occurred.
"Uncle Shishio, let's go. We have a score to settle with the Uchiha and Hyuga." Kai's gaze was exceptionally cold.
"Yes." Mitarashi Shishio nodded, without any argument or persuasion. As the head of Konoha's Anbu, Shishio's killing intent was no less than Kai's.
"By the way, Kai, when you fought the Three-Tails and Six-Tails, you used a chakra mode, right? Similar to the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode." Mitarashi Shishio asked.
Kai didn't speak, but lifted his head to meet Mitarashi Shishio's gaze. His left eye slowly transformed into a pure white Byakugan, then a point of azure light in the center expanded into the Tenseigan, before returning to normal.
A look of astonishment appeared in Mitarashi Shishio's eyes: "That's the Byakugan! And what appeared afterward, could it be a Kekkei Genkai evolved from the Byakugan?"
"Tenseigan!"
Kai uttered the three words, saying nothing more.
But with Mitarashi Shishio's peak Kage-level insight, he could guess a thing or two.
"I never expected the Byakugan could evolve. But why has there never been any record of this in the Hyuga clan?" Mitarashi Shishio wondered.
"Because they are foolish!" Kai scoffed. Without the purest bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki clan, attempting to awaken the Tenseigan is nothing but a pipe dream.
Of course, unless the entire Hyuga clan willingly sacrifices all their Byakugan, only then might it be possible to form an independent Tenseigan outside the body.
