Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Splash—splash—"

As the debris fell like rain, a small footprint marked with a golden-red magatama was revealed to everyone. Then, Silver Horn swayed, about to fall backward, when Golden Horn, with lightning reflexes, caught him from behind.
In the previous exchange of blows, although Senju Hisana, positioned on the right, had the advantage of terrain and timing, Ginkaku's defense was astonishing. Even if it meant trading blows, she was destined to lose.

However, a twist of fate appeared in this seemingly hopeless situation: the wound on Ginkaku's chest, pierced by Danzo's hip-style attack, became the turning point for Senju Hisama's comeback.

Furthermore, the final dance that Nine-Tails poured into her with the essence of its life gave Senju Hisa even more confidence to complete the counterattack.

As she expected, even though Gintoki kicked her and deactivated her transformation, she still channeled all her power, plus that of the Nine-Tails, into the wound on Gintoki's chest just moments before.
As for what happens next, we can only leave it to fate.

"This is."

Seeing the eerie red magatama emanating from the dark footprints, Golden Horn's brows immediately furrowed into a deep frown.

"Big brother... Pfft!"

Just as the pale-faced Silver Horn was about to say something comforting, a large amount of blood gushed from his mouth and nose the next second. His once robust body was shrinking at a visible rate, and his life was hanging by a thread.

The culprit behind all this was the magatama on his chest that emitted a strange aura.

"It's a heavy particle. How could that scoundrel be so reckless as to treat his own brother like that?"

Just then, the deep voice of the Eight-Tails rang out at the opportune moment, answering the question that had been lingering in Kinkaku's mind.
"Heavy particles?"

Upon hearing the name of this mode for the first time, Jin Jiao's expression of confusion deepened.

"What is that?"

Does this tech-savvy name really fit their current version?
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard the old man mention it casually. He said it was an ability he was preparing to use against unknown enemies, and only that stinky fox among us has learned it."

Inside the Tailed Beast Card Space, the Eight-Tails scratched its big bull head somewhat awkwardly. Back then, before the old man passed away, he gave them a long lesson, but apart from the Nine-Tails, the other Tailed Beasts were all eager to go out and play, and ended up dropping out of school.

"Ahem. Brother, a bet is a bet."

It can only be said that he is indeed worthy of the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths. After enduring an attack containing heavy particle chakra, Ginkaku was still able to retain his consciousness.

"No, I want this white-haired girl to pay with her life!"

"Great!"

Hearing the roar of the Golden Horned Tree not far away, Onoki couldn't help but mentally give a thumbs-up. The outcome he most wanted was for both Kumogakure and Konoha to be severely weakened.

The only obstacle right now, Senju Hisama, has lost her fighting ability. Kakuzu, that greedy devil, certainly can't protect so many people. Onoki was overjoyed, but he couldn't show too much happiness yet, lest someone with ulterior motives see through his little scheme.
"Third Raikage, please take him down for treatment first. I'll handle the cleanup."

So, with a sorrowful expression, he stepped forward and solemnly advised Jinjiao,
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. I have to take that woman with me."

Kinkaku's face was full of anger, but he still retained a sliver of clarity. After all, he was a veteran who had climbed the ranks in leadership positions for many years, and he saw through Onoki's ulterior motives at a glance.

"I meant well, but since the Third Raikage insists, I won't say any more."

Even after being exposed, Onoki wasn't ashamed or angry. At most, he would lose Senju Hisahi. Danzo, who had mastered the tailed beast cutting technique, was his real target.

"Nine-Tails? Nine-Tails? Kurama?"

On the other side, before Senju Hisa could even savor her victory, she noticed Kinkaku watching her intently. So, despite her exhaustion, she immediately contacted the Nine-Tails within her waist-mounted driver...

Inside the driver space, Kurama lay sprawled on the ground, its limbs outstretched, its fur dull and lifeless, its nine tails drooping limply behind it. Its once plump body was now emaciated.
"Stop yelling, this old man is...tired."

If it hadn't looked up to speak, Senju Hisa would have thought it was a fine fur coat.

What's wrong with you?

"This new thing is strange; it's actually forcibly draining my life energy."

Nine-Tailed Fox replied listlessly.
If it weren't for the fact that Kurama had to sacrifice its life energy to force Senju Hisama to use its power, it would never have discovered that this new driver was secretly absorbing its chakra.

"What was that power just now?"

"This is my trump card. I was originally planning to save it for that bastard, but I didn't expect you to get a taste of it first."

Kurama made no attempt to hide anything, revealing to this white-haired man that he possessed heavy particle chakra.
The so-called heavy particle chakra is a new type of chakra transformed from the Nine-Tails' own life force, and it has strong corrosive and destructive power.

Because chakra creates connections, it generates new power while diminishing the Nine-Tails' life force. When the user touches the enemy's body, this new power rapidly burns and consumes the enemy's chakra, constantly eroding the enemy's body like nuclear radiation.

"Well done, you've kept such a powerful move hidden for so many years."

Glancing at the miserable state of Silver Horn in the distance, Senju Hisa couldn't help but complain that if she had known she had the ability, everyone present would have been killed by her schemes.

"This move is life-threatening! Life-threatening, you understand? Even the lives of tailed beasts matter!"

Sensing Senju Hisama's malice, Kurama raised its head and loudly protested.

Birth, oh birth!
No wonder the old man told it not to reveal this trick easily, especially in front of humans.

"So you can't lend a hand right now, right?"

Suppressing her restless research desires, Senju Hisa turned her attention back to the grim reality. In her current state, let alone rescuing Danzo, she herself would perish here.

Ugh.
I should have known better than to put on a show and brought the people from the roots along; at least we'd have someone to look after us.

But it's too late to regret it now. Even if the Roots were there, they probably couldn't withstand Golden Horn's wrath.

"Tell me how to cure Silver Horn, and I might give you a dignified death. Otherwise, what awaits you is the Black Edge Staff Technique of the entire Hidden Cloud Village, young and old."

To save his brother's life, Jinjiao coldly uttered a terrifying torture method that would make any woman tremble with fear.
Of course, men also have the right to enjoy it.

"hiss"

Senju Hisa, instantly understanding the meaning of these words, paled and instinctively squeezed her legs together. A rare blush appeared on her usually composed face.
Startled by Jinjiao's words, her bladder, which had temporarily stabilized due to the tension of the battle, began to show signs of bursting.
Oh no, it's coming out!
Senju Hisa bit her lip tightly. If she really revealed it in front of so many people, especially in front of the enemy, wouldn't her lifelong reputation be ruined?
otherwise.
Looking at the kunai lying at her feet, a desperate thought flashed through her mind.

To avoid public execution, Senju Hisako willingly chose to die.

"Jie Jie"

The sinister Onoki chuckled maliciously.
"Will you tell me or not?!"

The angry Golden Horn roared.
"Han, don't worry, we won."

Little Purple, who was lying down and winning, was taking care of Han, who was lying on the board.
"Shh~ You guys come with me quickly."

Even the most dedicated actors are collapsing and selling off their jobs.

"Scarlet!"

The severely wounded Danzo was being held down by Shu, who wanted to return home alive.

While everyone was busy with their own things, Hanzo, now a human stick, looked up at the deep rainforest behind him, sensing something.
"coming."

"what?"

Qianyi, who had just hoisted him onto his shoulder, was taken aback upon hearing this. He immediately looked down to check himself, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding no strange stains.
"Lord Hanzo, please let me know in advance if there is an oil leak."

Upon hearing this, Hanzo's silicone-based simulated skin twitched slightly. Fortunately, his system was severely damaged and unable to transmit sarcastic commands, so he could only report the facts.
"It's not me who's here, it's my people who've come."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The words had barely left his lips when countless gleaming projectiles rained down from the dark rainforest, their targets aimed directly at Onoki and his companions.
At the same time, a vast expanse of mist appeared out of nowhere, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

"Tsk! It's all your fault for dragging this out for too long."

With a displeased expression, Onoki slammed his hands on the ground, and a massive wall of earth rose up, deflecting all the incoming projectiles.
“Rain Ninja is not within the scope of our agreement.”

Holding his younger brother, Kinkaku coldly glanced at Onoki beside him, then punched away several hidden weapons that had leaped over the 1.6-meter-high earthen wall.

"Lord Hanzo, we are late."

Under the cover of the thick fog, Hydrangea and the core members of the technical department landed in front of Hanzo. Looking at her superior, who had been chopped into a human stick, her eyes were filled with heartache.

Of course, what she was worried about was the expensive repair costs, which she wouldn't get a kickback from.

"Hydrangea, is the legion's preparation work complete?"

Hanzo, who was taken from Chihiro by the Rain Ninja technicians, is temporarily blind and can only be informed through questioning.
"The legion has been fully tested and is ready to join the battle at any time."

When talking about her most outstanding work, a proud smile unconsciously appeared on Hydrangea's lips.

"Legion?"

The others present looked puzzled. What kind of legion could Hanzo take so seriously?

"Then, deploy."

"Yes!"

As Hydrangea pressed the button she took out of her bosom, countless pairs of red electronic eyes instantly lit up in the dark rainforest behind her.

That is…

Upon seeing this, Xiu couldn't help but gasp, his face filled with bewilderment.

It turns out that Sunagakure wasn't the only one working on a mechanical army.

"Boom!"

"What the hell?"

Hearing the mechanical roar echoing through the thick fog, Onoki frowned slightly.
"boom!"

The words had barely left his lips when a giant steel fist, trailing a fiery tail, charged straight at him. Onoki, however, remained completely unfazed; in fact, he almost laughed.
"Such a weak fist, it probably couldn't even scratch my Earth Flow Wall!"

Before he could even finish his sarcastic remark, seeing the dozens of iron fists following closely behind, Onoki's voice even became distorted.
"Bam—!"

"Boom——!"

"Snapped--!"

Even the thickest wall of earth couldn't withstand the onslaught of so many mechanical steel fists. After a full second of stunned silence, Onoki chose to retreat by leaping backward.

Who knows if there are any explosives inside these strange things?

Meanwhile, Jinjiao had already dodged away the moment the iron fist flew towards him; his younger brother in his arms couldn't withstand any more turmoil.

"Boom!"

As the 1.6-meter-high earthen wall collapsed with a deafening roar, the figure rumbling forward through the thick fog gradually revealed its true form.

They were cyborgs resembling beggar versions of Hanzo, differing only in appearance from Hanzo, with almost identical physical structures.

"So many Hanzos?"

Onoki stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Amegakure had gone too far. When did they create so many cyborgs that resembled Hanzo?

"No!"

Under the guidance of Rain Ninja's technical experts, Hanzo, now sporting a pair of brand-new electronic eyes, finally saw the light of day again. Amid Onoki's astonishment, he slowly stood before the legion of dozens of cyborgs and introduced himself expressionlessly.
"They are the heroes of the Rain Kingdom."

"Eliminate the invaders. Defend the Land of Rain."

The cyborg legion behind him echoed him, repeating a few monotonous but resolute words.

As Hanzo said, this cyborg army was entirely transformed from Rain Ninja who were critically wounded and on the verge of death in this war.

Among them were highly skilled Jonin and inexperienced Genin, but without exception, they were all heroes who sacrificed everything to protect the Land of Rain.

"Ah, times have changed."

Uchiha Gin, watching from afar, rubbed his aching temples, his face full of bewilderment.
It seems he led the ninja world's technology tree astray in this timeline; instead of researching secret techniques and bloodline limits, everyone is now engaged in a scientific and military competition.

The Root members around them were equally stunned. They had never seen anything like it before, and they stared in disbelief, completely forgetting about rescuing Danzo.
"Holy crap, so we're the country bumpkins after all."

"It's fake, it must be fake! Our Konoha's technology is the best in the ninja world!"

"Yes! It must be Amegakure that stole our Konoha's core technology. Amegakure is too evil!"

"."

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

Looking back at the noisy crowd, Uchiha Gin, who had finished warming up with Kushina's help, suddenly stood up.

It's time for an inspiring pre-battle mobilization.

"I am S, no, everyone here."

Uchiha Gin, who was about to switch gears as usual, quickly stopped talking, raised his hands, and began his passionate speech.

"The all-out war has begun. Do you still want to continue to turn a blind eye to OMO? Do you know how much a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen costs if we lose? 50! That's more than a small storage scroll can hold."

The Root members looked at Uchiha Gin, who had suddenly fallen ill, and exchanged bewildered glances. Only Nono, who knew Gin's temperament well, sighed and facepalmed.
"It is our duty to save President Danzo and Secretary-General Senju, to save Konoha, and to save the Land of Fire!"

However, as time passed, and after being bombarded with one lengthy speech after another, the confusion in everyone's eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only a fanatical will of fire.
"It is our inescapable responsibility!"

"It is our inescapable responsibility!"

"It is our inescapable responsibility!"

"."

"Little blondie, what's Grandpa Silver up to?"

Feeling the atmosphere around her gradually heating up, Kushina nudged Minato beside her with a bewildered look, only to find that he was also excitedly waving his little fists and shouting that he would beat the invaders and would never eat Ichiraku Ramen, which cost 50 yen a bowl.

Uchiha Gin looked with satisfaction at the Konoha villagers, whose emotions had been stirred by his masterful oratory. He raised his right hand at a 45-degree angle, his fingers pressed together and pointing forward.

"Hey! Gentlemen, the enemy is shameful, I'm going to strip him naked!" (End of Chapter)
