"Is this a God…"
Kimimaro forced his body to hold, Jūgo protecting him at the side, while Suigetsu had already turned into a puddle of water lying on the ground.
Clearly, every one of them was not doing well, and the Four-Man Squad was even worse; at this moment they were all already vomiting blood.
Looking at the figures fiercely battling in the sky, each of them felt their scalps go numb. This was the first time they had seen such a battle.
Only Kimimaro had a trace of longing appear in his eyes. He truly desired such power!
"If I had this kind of power, I could help Orochimaru-sama accomplish any dream…"
Kimimaro had never changed. In his eyes, there was only Orochimaru!
...
"Hmph, is this the battle of Gods?"
Kisame wiped his ear and found that his hand was covered in his own blood. He understood he had been injured by the shock.
"It seems the so-called 'Gods' have desires even greater than we imagined."
Biwa Jūzō and Raiga were also collapsing all over, but the shockwaves did not affect them too severely—they could still recover.
But their expressions looked strange, even with a hint of playfulness.
"They are even more ruthless. When they really go all out, they don't even spare their own clan."
But very quickly, their gazes shifted to the other side. In the state of Impure World Reincarnation, they could still move.
...
"Are you alright?"
And on the other side, the people of Kirigakure were also in complete disarray. Although this sudden battle had interrupted all of them, to be honest, they would rather go back to fighting as before than be crushed by the aftershocks like this, unable to even catch their breath.
Terumi Mei glanced at everyone. Ao and Chōjūrō nodded with extreme difficulty in their utterly battered state, while Utakata had already fallen unconscious.
But even while unconscious, the chakra belonging to the Six-Tails on his body was still roaring continuously, as if trying to escape this place.
"Is this a God?"
Terumi Mei also felt unwell all over at this moment, but she still could not help raising her head to look toward the sky.
Although the battle appeared to be a one-sided crushing, every collision between the two caused massive destruction.
Such power could only belong to a "God"!
"Ahhhh!"
However, just as she was thinking, an angry roar suddenly echoed by her ear.
She turned her head sharply and saw that the man whose mind was not very stable, yet whose strength was terrifying, was charging toward them.
His body seemed completely unaffected, but his mind looked even more chaotic—as if facing him was like facing a wild beast!
"Not good…"
Seeing that guy rushing over, Terumi Mei's expression changed, especially since she also noticed movement from the Impure World Reincarnation on the other side.
This instantly made her realize—they were in danger!
"Ah!"
With a roar, that madman had already rushed in front of her, and that huge fist swung at her fiercely.
"Watch out!"
Chōjūrō and Ao also noticed something wrong. They shouted immediately, but no matter how one looked, it was already too late.
However, at this moment, a figure quietly appeared in front of Terumi Mei.
[Boom—]
And almost at the same instant, the figure in the sky once again crashed toward the ground like a shell.
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.
"Gen."
Terumi Mei looked at the figure that suddenly appeared before her, and for a moment she felt somewhat dazed.
That mentally unstable guy actually acting together with Akatsuki's Impure World Reincarnation really made her feel a bit hopeless!
The collateral damage caused by the battle between the two "Gods" had already made it very hard for her to continue fighting.
Encountering trouble like this at such a moment, their Kirigakure forces would very likely be completely wiped out!
And at this most critical moment, Kitagawa Gen quietly blocked in front of her.
"Are you alright?"
Kitagawa Gen turned his head to glance at Terumi Mei. He was not Namikaze Minato, and he would not arrive late!
Then his gaze looked toward the guy not far away whose steps had stalled because of his appearance.
In an instant, a touch of excitement burst out in his eyes!
The "White Kāma"—this was his target, and originally he had thought it would be somewhat troublesome.
But he had never expected that Isshiki and Obito would actually send him such a generous gift like this.
How could he not feel excited?
"I'm fine."
However, just as he was thinking of how to extract the power of this "White Kāma," Terumi Mei suddenly regained clarity.
"But, Fifth Hokage, you must be careful of that guy!"
"..."
Kitagawa Gen suddenly felt a bit speechless. It seemed the Third Hokage had not died yet, right?
Why did it now seem like everyone thought this Third Hokage was already dead?
"Don't worry."
But Kitagawa Gen still shook his head in the end. He let out a light laugh and spoke.
"With me here, nothing will happen. I will protect all of you."
Before his voice had even fallen, that "White Kāma" was already roaring and charging over once more, the chakra inside his body continuously expanding.
But his mental state looked even more unstable, and especially the moment Kitagawa Gen appeared before him, he immediately let out waves of furious howls.
"Ahhhh!"
Amid the roar, a patch of black belt-shaped matter suddenly appeared on the ground, and his body instantly sank into that black matter.
In the next instant, he had already appeared in front of Kitagawa Gen!
[Buzz—]
His fist swung fiercely, but at that moment it struck empty air, and that fierce fist wind shattered the ground.
Meanwhile, Kitagawa Gen, carrying Terumi Mei, appeared on the other side, looking completely unharmed.
Only that punch of his also attracted the attention of the other people.
"Kitagawa Gen has arrived."
When the members of Akatsuki saw Kitagawa Gen's figure, all of them—except for that Four-Man Squad under Orochimaru—showed unpleasant expressions.
"He really came!"
Uchiha Obito also saw Kitagawa Gen. His gaze showed some excitement at that moment, but it also became somewhat complicated.
Kitagawa Gen facing this "Evolver" was what he had been expecting from the start.
But seeing Kitagawa Gen's appearance, it seemed as if he had not placed this "Evolver" in his eyes at all?
Moreover, he had hoped that these two "Evolvers" would go deal with Ōtsutsuki Genshiki, and not like this right now.
"Hmph, putting on an act. Can you really deal with him that easily?"
Obito felt extremely irritated, but no matter what, this was not really a bad thing.
After all, with that guy holding him back, he could not only properly observe Kitagawa Gen's battle, but also go retrieve the Six-Tails!
It was not that he did not want to watch the battle between those two "Gods." Mainly, he simply could not understand it.
The difference between them was truly too great. Those inexplicable techniques made it hard for him to comprehend. Watching Kitagawa Gen here was better.
"Perhaps, sooner or later, I can also reach that step!"
Obito thought secretly in his heart, but Isshiki at this moment was slightly frowning.
"Why does it feel like Kitagawa Gen's aura has become a bit weaker now?"
Isshiki felt something inexplicable. The person was still the same person, and the power was still the same natural energy.
But compared to when he had violently beaten Obito earlier, his aura now indeed had some degree of difference.
"Could it be that he looks down on my 'White Kāma'?"
Isshiki could not help muttering, but he did not have time to think further. That Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, who had been knocked to the ground, released a soul-stirring aura again.
On the shattered ground, the enormous smoke and dust still covered the sky.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki gasped heavily while staring fixedly at the sky, cold sweat streaming down his face!
And in the sky above that smoke and dust, the golden radiance remained dazzling, and that hazy figure shrouded in moonlight was even more suffocating.
"How did it become like this?"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki could not understand. As an Ōtsutsuki, he had always been the one who destroyed, who plundered!
He had never thought that one day he would become the target hunted by someone else.
He had also never imagined that the one who would strike at him would be someone of the same clan, nor had he imagined that he would lose this completely, this miserably!
He could even say that under the hunt of someone from his own clan, he actually had no power to resist?
He could not understand what was going on with this "Ōtsutsuki Genshiki."
Why was that guy so strong, and why did he himself have almost no ability to fight back?
"And besides, that guy's aura is clearly not stronger than mine!"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's head was now dizzy, obviously beaten to the point of confusion.
But when he saw the figure in the sky, accompanied by a surge of chakra, with the thick smoke and dust dispersing again and rushing toward him—
His expression instantly changed, and he immediately shouted loudly.
"Genshiki, enough! Do not continue making mistake after mistake! Do you truly want to fight me, and even go to death with the entire clan?!"
"That is why I say you do not have Isshiki-senpai's magnanimity."
Kitagawa Gen paused slightly, then shook his head as if sighing.
"Isshiki-senpai would never display something like this, and he would never beg me pathetically for mercy."
"You—"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's expression instantly turned ugly. Kitagawa Gen's words were extremely insulting!
"Are you really set on becoming an enemy of the Ōtsutsuki? Are you really determined to break the rules?!"
"That is why I admire Isshiki-senpai—because he was the first to break the rules, and he also taught me something."
Kitagawa Gen, still expressionless, continued bringing up Isshiki. Anyway, when something happened, blaming Isshiki first would definitely not be wrong.
"He let me understand that these so-called 'rules' are nothing but 'chains' that hold us back. Only by breaking the chains—"
Before he finished speaking, Kitagawa Gen directly launched his attack. That golden lightsaber, carrying a lethal aura, violently slashed toward Urashiki!
"—can we stand higher and shine brighter than anyone else, and ultimately pierce through this 'sky'!"
"Madman!"
