In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

"The three of you are indeed formidable opponents," Sasori of the Red Sand retorted angrily, unwilling to admit defeat easily despite knowing he was in dire straits.

180: Yan Ying has made his move, with overwhelming power!

"If it weren't for my belief in Xiao, I would have long since abandoned the idea of ​​being your enemy." He tried to remain calm, attempting to find a chance to retaliate amidst this despair.

Xia Mu smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Beliefs cannot change facts. Today, you will witness true power."

Just then, Artoria stepped forward, gripped the invisible sword, and prepared to strike.

"Sasori of the Red Sand, you were once a strong warrior, but today you face an existence beyond your wildest imagination."

Her voice was firm and powerful, full of fighting spirit.

"Don't be so confident, all of you." Sasori of the Red Sand sneered, thinking of a countermeasure.

Even the strongest will fight back with all their might if they are forced into a desperate situation.

He gripped Fei Liuhu tighter, and his aura instantly became dangerous.

"Since you're so confident, let me see how long you can last," Sasori of the Red Sand said in a low voice, secretly gathering his strength.

Xia Mu tilted her head slightly, seemingly sensing his inner struggle, and a hint of disdain welled up in her heart.

“Your struggles are pointless.” He raised his hand again, and the light of the Evil King’s True Eye instantly intensified, as if the surrounding air was being distorted by pressure.

Sasori's body was bound by invisible chains, unable to move.

"I will not give up!" he roared, trying to break free of his restraints through sheer willpower.

But no matter how hard he tried, Xia Mu's strength remained as heavy as a mountain.

"Is this what you call art?" Xia Mu's voice was filled with disdain.

"Faced with such absolute power, your struggles will only become more futile."

Just then, Artoria's figure flashed, like a white light streaking across the battlefield.

"I will end all of this!" Her sword flashed like a rainbow, aimed directly at Sasori of the Red Sand, containing a strong determination.

"The invisible sword will shatter your illusions!"

A flicker of fear crossed Sasori's eyes as he finally realized the threat he was about to face.

He exerted all his strength, and the Scarlet Luminous Amber in his hand transformed into a streak of red light, attacking Artoria.

"I won't let you hurt me!" he roared, his strength rising as he tried to deflect the fatal blow.

Artoria's sword strike clashed with Hiruko's, producing a deafening roar and a powerful shockwave.

However, all of this seemed insignificant under Xia Mu's gaze.

“Even the most worthless counterattacks cannot change the outcome,” Xia Mu said coldly, the power of the Evil King’s True Eye reaching its peak at this moment.

Sasori's attack erupted in the air, but under the suppression of the Evil King's True Eye, it instantly turned into invisible waves that scattered in all directions.

"How could this be..." He looked around in shock, realizing how insignificant his power seemed in the face of this young man.

"This is the judgment of the dimension," Xia Mu said calmly, his eyes revealing a ruthless majesty.

Just as Sasori of the Red Sand was stunned, Natsuki's finger twitched slightly, and the light of the Evil King's True Eye flashed again.

A dark blue thread shot out from his hand like lightning, heading straight for Sasori's heart.

"This is your end." Xia Mu's voice echoed across the battlefield, carrying an undeniable authority.

Sasori of the Red Sand sensed that powerful force and realized that he had no way to escape.

"I... I'm not reconciled!" he roared in despair, trying to muster his last bit of strength.

However, the silk threads had already locked onto his heart, and the powerful pressure instantly engulfed him.

“The game is over,” Xia Mu said coldly. With a slight flick of his finger, the thread instantly pierced through the body of Sasori of the Red Sand.

"Ah!" Sasori's scream rang out, and then he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared completely from the battlefield.

Everything vanished like a dream, except for Xia Mu's figure, which still stood on the battlefield.

"See? The Akatsuki's strong members are ultimately no match for true power." He slowly turned around and looked at Artoria and Uchiha Izumi.

The two exchanged a glance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"We've won." Artoria smiled slightly, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

“But this (bfee) is just the beginning.” Uchiha Izumi’s gaze gradually turned serious.

"The enemy will not give up easily, and even greater challenges await us."

Xia Mu nodded, his gaze resolute: "No matter what, we will face the next battle."

On this smoke-shrouded battlefield, the three stood shoulder to shoulder, preparing to face the impending storm.

Natsuki, Artoria, and Uchiha Izumi stood side by side on the battlefield, the atmosphere tense and solemn.

The battle they had just fought brought them the joy of victory, but deep down, all three realized that the real test had only just begun.

"Sasori of the Red Sand has been defeated, but that doesn't mean we're safe." Uchiha Izumi broke the silence first, her voice calm and clear.

“The Akatsuki will not give up easily; they will definitely send out an even stronger opponent.” Artoria gripped the invisible sword tightly, her gaze resolute.

“We must be prepared.” A hint of determination flashed in Xia Mu’s eyes. “I sense that a new power is approaching.”

Just then, on the other side of the battlefield, thick black fog slowly rose, appearing extremely eerie.

"It seems a new opponent has arrived." Artoria watched the black mist warily, her sword hilt tightening slightly, ready to fight at any moment.

A figure gradually emerged from the black mist; it was a tall, slender young man shrouded in a black robe.

His face was hidden under his hood, with only a pair of eyes that shone with a deep red light visible.

"Are you members of the Dimensional End Gathering Society?" His voice was deep and gloomy, as if it came from the abyss, and full of oppression.

"Who are you?" Xia Mu asked coldly, without any fear.

"My name is Flame Shadow, a new member of the Akatsuki organization. I am skilled in manipulating flames and shadows." The black-robed youth slowly stepped out of the black mist, revealing his cunning and sinister smile.

Flame Shadow's background is full of legend. He was an orphan who grew up in ruins. After countless hardships and training, he was eventually chosen by the Akatsuki organization and became a member.

"For revenge, I am willing to give everything for the organization." The fire and shadow in his eyes intertwined, revealing an incomparably powerful aura.

“Your aura is powerful, but that is not enough to make me fear you.” Xia Mu’s eyes were firm, and the power of the Evil King’s True Eye surged within him.

"What a naive brat." Flame Shadow smiled contemptuously. "Today, I will show you what true power is."

Immediately, he waved his hands, and the black mist suddenly spread out, the surrounding air instantly became extremely hot, and flames ignited in his palms, turning into a huge fireball that attacked the three of them.

"Get out of the way!" Artoria reacted quickly, transforming into a white light and leaping into the air.

181: The power of the Dimensional Lord is untouchable!!

She unleashed her invisible sword, its energy like a rainbow, directly slashing at the fireball.

"Invisible sword, slash!" The sword energy collided with the fireball, producing a deafening roar. The powerful energy shockwave spread in all directions, plunging the battlefield into chaos.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Mu gathered the power of the Evil King's True Eye and looked at Yan Ying: "Do you think you can defeat us with this kind of power?"

"You're too naive." Yan Ying's lips curled into a sinister smile. His hand gestures changed, and flames spun in the air, condensing into several fire dragons that rushed towards the three people.

"Come on, let me see just how strong you really are." Xia Mu responded coldly, the threads in the Evil King's True Eye quickly weaving into a protective barrier.

The fire dragon crashed into the barrier, instantly triggering a violent explosion that sent flames soaring into the sky. However, Xia Mu's defenses remained completely intact.

"This power... how is this possible?" Yan Ying looked astonished, then her anger flared, and she felt resentful.

"Want to continue? Or are you willing to surrender?" Xia Mu's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes exuding a sense of oppression.

Flame Shadow gritted his teeth, the flames in his hand growing ever more intense, his anger driving him to defy him: "I will not back down!"

He waved his hand again, and flames surged like a tide, instantly engulfing the battlefield.

"This is my ultimate move, Flame Shadow Tide!" Flame Shadow roared, and flames swept in like waves, heading straight for the three of them.

"Stop!" Uchiha Izumi commanded, her Mangekyou Sharingan spinning and releasing powerful ocular energy.

"Amaterasu!" Her voice rang out, and a black flame seemed to flash across the sky, reaching the fiery tide of the Flame Shadow.

Flames collided with flames, producing a deafening roar, and the surrounding air was scorched and distorted.

"This power!" Flame Shadow felt the pressure emanating from the Mangekyou Sharingan, and his heart tightened.

At that moment, Artoria seized the opportunity to launch an attack from the side. Her invisible sword shot out like a beam of light, heading straight for Flame Shadow.

"Slash!" Her sword strike cut through the air with unparalleled power.

Yan Ying instantly realized the danger and hurriedly dodged to the side, but was still hit by the sword energy and forced to retreat.

"Ugh!" Flame Shadow groaned, his heart filled with a mixture of anger and humiliation.

"The three of you have truly opened my eyes." He slowly stood up, a sinister glint in his eyes. "However, I've only just begun."

· ·····Requesting flowers···· ····

He chanted softly, and flames gathered in his hands again. He then threw them into the air, where they exploded into a giant fireball that fell toward the three of them.

"We can't let him succeed!" Xia Mu was alert and quickly mobilized the power of the Evil King's True Eye to prepare to stop him.
