"This is a spatial coordinate. Its only function is to locate a space. Later, the Five Kage will quickly teleport here using another spatial secret technique."
Given that this man was still a Konoha hero in Sakumo Hatake's heart, he was willing to clear up this confusion for Ryun.
"Bastard! Shut up! Do you know you're leaking classified information? Do you also want to die?" someone angrily shouted at Sakumo Hatake.
"So that's how it is. Knowing they can't defeat me one-on-one, the Five Kage want to launch a joint attack..."
Ryun nodded, his face showing no trace of nervousness. Instead, he pulled over a relatively clean corpse from the ground and sat directly on its back.
His posture clearly indicated he intended to wait right there for the Five Kage to arrive!
"Dammit, I'll kill you!"
A Iwa-nin Jonin, eyes red, wanted to charge forward and fight desperately again because the person Ryun was sitting on was a ninja from their Iwagakure, and a famous Elite Jonin at that. He couldn't allow someone to disrespect his comrade's body like this.
"Calm down. Our mission is only to find Uchiha Ryun and activate the crystal mark. Recklessly attacking already cost four comrades their lives. For now, let's just wait. Don't make any more unnecessary sacrifices..."
A Suna-nin raised a hand to stop the man.
"He's right. If you don't want to die, just wait. After all, it seems Ryun-san doesn't plan on leaving anyway. There's no need to risk your life just to vent your anger." A Konoha Elite Jonin spoke up to console him.
This person was a strong member of the Yamanaka clan, named Yamanaka Iun. Although this name wasn't mentioned in the original work, his strength was definitely first-class, and his sensory abilities were top-notch.
"Bastard! The dead aren't from your Konoha! The one being disgraced isn't from your Konoha either! Stop talking nonsense from the sidelines!" The Iwa-nin ultimately didn't charge forward impulsively and instead took his anger out on the Konoha ninja.
Their group had 10 people, with two powerful Elite Jonin from each village. Ryun had killed 4 in the previous fight: one from Kirigakure, two from Kumogakure, and one from Iwagakure.
The members from Konoha and Sunagakure were still alive. Kumogakure had it the worst, their two Elite Jonin were the first to be killed by Ryun...
"Then go ahead. Pretend I just farted. We won't stop you. Go ahead and fight Ryun-san desperately..." Yamanaka Iun crossed his arms, looking like he was watching a show. His words nearly made the Iwa-nin explode with rage.
"Can we not start internal strife at a time like this? What we're facing is an SSS-Class Rogue Ninja, everyone..." A Suna-nin's attempt to mediate was cut short as a humanoid puppet abruptly appeared beside him.
"They're here!"
Ryun's eyes focused, his gaze immediately shifting to the humanoid puppet.
Right after the puppet appeared, two more identical puppets materialized out of thin air nearby.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Shortly after the three humanoid puppets landed, their shells quickly popped open, revealing some strange substances clearly visible to everyone the next moment.
As soon as the first puppet opened, a large amount of black iron sand flowed out from within.
When the second puppet opened, everyone could see it was filled with a whole lump of soft, strange yellow mud.
When the third puppet opened, Ryun found it contained a large rectangular block of rubber!
The black iron sand area was the first to show activity. A man withdrew the flowing iron sand covering his body and was the first to step out of the humanoid puppet.
"Kazekage-sama!"
"Kazekage-sama!!!"
The newcomer was the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure!
Seeing their Kazekage arrive on the battlefield, the two Suna-nin instantly found their pillar of support, their emotions visibly agitated.
"Hmm, are you two alright?" The Third Kazekage first checked on his own ninja before locking his gaze onto a certain individual.
"Tsuchikage-sama!"
Seeing the yellow mud fall away, revealing the small stature of the Third Tsuchikage, the Iwa-nin quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Hmm, where is Kōtsuchi..."
Not seeing his village's other Elite Jonin, Ōnoki frowned and asked.
"Tsuchikage-sama, Kōtsuchi he... he died in battle!" The Iwa-nin's eyes were red, his hateful gaze firmly fixed on the figure ahead.
Ryun was still sitting motionless. When Ōnoki clearly saw the figure under his butt, the veins on the Third Tsuchikage's forehead instantly bulged, his face turning terribly dark.
"Uchiha Ryun!!!"
But before he could make a move, an explosive shout rang out ahead of him. The Fourth Raikage, emerging from the rubber, saw Ryun's figure immediately.
Meeting an enemy, eyes turned especially red. The Fourth Raikage directly activated the strongest form of his Lightning Release Armor, terrifying azure lightning constantly wrapping around and coursing through his body.
"So all five arrived simultaneously? I underestimated you..." Ryun stood up and patted his butt, his expression finally turning serious.
As his words fell, two figures soon walked out from the forest nearby. They were the other two: the Third Hokage and the Third Mizukage.
The Five Kage had all appeared on the battlefield.
Takigakure, using the excuse that their Jinchuriki had not yet mastered the Tailed Beast, refused to participate in this battle. However, the Land of Rapids paid a huge sum of money to support the Five Great Nations in besieging Uchiha Ryun.
This sum was very large, large enough to shut everyone's mouths.
Since the Five Great Nations were all contributing effort, and the Land of Rapids didn't want to contribute effort, they could only painfully contribute money...
"Uchiha Ryun, your day of death has arrived!" The Third Mizukage spoke with hatred.
"Raikage, wait before acting. Allow me to first ask about the whereabouts of our village's Jinchuriki..." Sensing the young Raikage poised to strike, Ōnoki quickly raised his hand in a stopping gesture.
"Ryun, how did it come to this... Return their Tailed Beasts, then come back to the village with me. I will do my utmost to protect you..." Sarutobi Hiruzen advised with a pained expression on his face.
As long as Ryun was still willing to listen to him, he was willing to protect the other's life. After all, this was ultimately his disciple's grandson, and moreover, Konoha's former young hero.
Hearing the Third Hokage advising him to return the Tailed Beasts, the Raikage and Mizukage also suppressed their impulse to immediately attack. The Two-Tails and Three-Tails were still in the other's hands. What if the other was foolish enough to actually listen to the advice?
"You Five Kage have really taken great pains to kill me... If I'm not mistaken, the reason you can gather on the battlefield so quickly is thanks to Kumogakure's Heavenly Transfer Technique..."
Ryun did not bother with Sarutobi Hiruzen's nonsense. Instead, he turned his gaze to the Fourth Raikage.
Hearing that the other actually knew about the Heavenly Transfer Technique, the Fourth Raikage's pupils constricted slightly.
"First, use a spatial mark to locate my coordinates. Then, use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to reach the battlefield... To enable a spatial secret technique unsuitable for transporting living things to transport people, you actually thought of using puppet techniques as an outer shell, then filling the shell with shock-absorbing material..."
Ryun's emotional words instantly caused the expressions of everyone present to change dramatically.
"Who leaked the intelligence to him? Huh???" The Fourth Raikage roared in fury, his fierce gaze firmly fixed on the Third Hokage.
Uchiha Ryun not only knew about the Heavenly Transfer Technique, but also knew it was unsuitable for transporting people. If he said there was no mole within the team, he wouldn't believe it.
Could he see through the Five Kage's painstaking planning at a glance? Did they really think Uchiha Ryun was a god?
