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

.... ... 0

"Protect yourself!" Artoria shouted, gathering her strength to prepare for the upcoming impact.

"Trying to stop my flames? Not so easy!" Flame Shadow sneered, a greater flame igniting within him.

I will make you feel despair!

Just as the fireball was about to fall, Xia Mu's Evil King True Eye emitted a dazzling light, and the surrounding space seemed to freeze instantly, with time stopping at that moment.

"The power of the Dimensional Lord is untouchable!" Xia Mu's voice echoed across the battlefield. The power of the Evil King's True Eye was released instantly, and the surrounding flames were suppressed by a powerful force, turning into nothingness.

Flame Shadow's expression changed drastically, his heart filled with horror: "This is impossible!"

182: A sneak attack! With the intention of a decisive victory!!

As time resumed, the surrounding flames vanished instantly, and the battlefield returned to tranquility.

"Who...who exactly are you?" Yan Ying's voice trembled, her eyes filled with fear and resentment.

“I am a member of the Dimensional End Gathering Society.” Xia Mu smiled slightly, his gaze as sharp as a knife. “You have no chance of escape.”

With no way out, Yan Ying was filled with resentment, but she also realized that she had fallen into a desperate situation.

"You've...you've won," he whispered, his expression filled with despair.

"However, this is far from over," Uchiha Izumi said coldly. "The shadow of the Akatsuki continues to spread."

“Next, we must find the leader of Akatsuki and completely eliminate this threat,” Artoria said.

"And I will regard every enemy as a challenge." Xia Mu's voice was firm, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon, the battle horn had already sounded.

As night fell, the battlefield fell silent once more.

However, they knew that a new crisis was quietly approaching.

In the aftermath of the battle, Natsuki, Artoria, and Izumi Uchiha still stood on the battlefield.

As night fell, the stars in the sky gradually brightened.

However, they did not feel relaxed in the slightest.

"We must act quickly and find the leader of Akatsuki." Uchiha Izumi's voice was filled with urgency.

“Yes,” Artoria nodded seriously, “we must seize this opportunity.”

“Yan Ying has been defeated, but Xiao has a deep foundation, so we must not let our guard down,” Xia Mu added, his eyes revealing deep thought.

Just then, a sharp gust of wind came from the sky.

The three looked up and saw a boy dressed in dark ninja clothes with long hair descending from the sky.

His face was resolute, and his brows exuded an aura that could not be underestimated.

"Are you looking for me?" He landed slowly, looking directly at the three of them.

"Who are you?" Artoria asked warily, ready to draw her sword at any moment.

"My name is Kageju, and I belong to the Akatsuki organization." The boy's voice was deep and firm. "I'm here to cause you trouble."

Kagezu's background is quite complex. He was born into an ordinary ninja family, but he displayed extraordinary talent from a young age. ... Later, he met the Akatsuki organization by chance and was gradually recruited, becoming an important member. Kagezu is skilled in space-time ninjutsu, enabling him to move quickly and launch surprise attacks in battle.

"Are you trying to get revenge on Yan Ying?" Xia Mu asked coldly, a strange light flashing in his Evil King True Eyes.

“He’s powerless and not worth mentioning.” Ying Zhou’s lips curled up slightly, but his eyes were filled with gloom.

"I just want to see just how powerful the legendary Dimensional End Gathering Society really is." He approached step by step, his aura gradually intensifying.

“If you have the ability, then come and try.” Xia Mu did not back down, and the power of the Evil King’s True Eye surged within him.

Ying Zhou smiled slightly, his eyes revealing contempt: "Do you think 4.4 can threaten me with that kind of power?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body vanished from the spot and then reappeared behind Xia Mu, his speed astonishing.

"You...!" Xia Mu was startled and instantly realized what was happening, preparing to mobilize his power.

However, Ying Zhou's hand had already reached out, his palm surging with spatial energy, heading straight for Xia Mu's back.

183: The invisible sword cuts through everything!

"Space Tear!" Ying Zhou shouted coldly, his power erupting instantly.

"Back off!" Artoria realized the danger and quickly swung her sword to block Natsuki.

The invisible sword collided with Shadow Universe's attack, generating violent energy fluctuations, and the shockwave instantly swept around.

"How presumptuous of you." A flash of anger crossed Ying Zhou's eyes as he quickly adjusted his position, preparing to launch another attack.

"I will show you the true power of space-time ninjutsu." He chanted softly, gathering more spatial power in his hand.

Not to be outdone, Xia Mu unleashed the light of the Evil King's True Eye once more, causing the surrounding air to seem to distort.

"Do you think your spatial magic can defeat me?" Xia Mu's voice boomed like thunder, propelled forward by the power of the Evil King's True Eye.

Ying Zhou was startled, sensing the threat from Xia Mu, and quickly retreated, trying to keep his distance.

"It seems you're not as simple as I thought." Ying Zhou smiled coldly, his mind racing with thoughts.

"However, I don't intend to give up easily."

He once again activated his spatial ninjutsu, instantly transforming into countless shadows and launching an attack on the three of them.

"Clone Technique!" he shouted, and shadows surged forward like a tide, locking onto the three people.

"Stay alert!" Artoria shouted, her invisible sword ready to meet the enemy at any moment.

As the shadows struck, a fierce battle erupted on the battlefield.

"Is this all the strength you have?" Xia Mu sneered, the light of the Evil King's True Eye shining even brighter.

"Dimensional Judgment!" With his command, the surrounding space instantly froze, and the shadows were as fragile as paper in the face of his power.

Ying Zhou was startled, realizing the seriousness of the situation, but he was unwilling to give up.

"You underestimate me!" he roared, gathering spatial energy in his hands once more, preparing to launch an even stronger attack.

At that moment, Artoria keenly sensed a change in movement, and her sword slashed out suddenly, its momentum like a rainbow, heading straight for Shadow Universe.

"Invisible sword, sever everything!" she shouted, and the sword energy transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards Shadow Universe.

"Damn it!" Ying Zhou roared, trying to dodge, but found that his spatial abilities were restricted and he could not teleport.

"I...can't lose!" His voice was filled with despair as he tried to fight with all his might.

Just as the sword energies were about to make contact, Ying Zhou gathered the last bit of spatial power and actually tried to distort the air to change the direction of the attack.

"You're too naive!" Xia Mu scoffed, and the power of the Evil King's True Eye was amplified once more, causing the surrounding space to distort rapidly.

"Shatter!" he whispered, his power erupting suddenly and instantly shattering Shadow Universe's defenses.

"Ah!" Shadow Zhou screamed, and 460 was immediately thrown away by the powerful force, crashing heavily to the ground, his face pale.

"It seems your spatial magic is meaningless to me," Xia Mu said calmly, his eyes revealing disdain.

Ying Zhou struggled to his feet, his face disheveled, but the burning anger in his heart made him unwilling to give in.

"I will not give up!" he roared, preparing for his final counterattack.

"No matter how strong you are, you cannot suppress me forever." He closed his eyes slightly, as if gathering his last bit of strength.

Xia Mu stared coldly at him, preparing to deliver the final blow.

184: Delicious food, memories from the past come flooding back!

"Do you really think you can escape?" he sneered, the power of the Evil King's True Eye surging like a tide.

"You have no way out."

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind Ying Zhou, a black cloak fluttering in the wind.

"Shadow Universe, that's enough." The voice slowly came, carrying an unquestionable authority.

The three of them turned their heads and saw a tall and imposing man step out of the shadows. His face was serious and his eyes were deep.

"Who are you?" Artoria asked warily.

"My name is Blackfire, another member of the Akatsuki," he said slowly, his voice as powerful as rolling thunder.

Blackfire's power is fearsome, having caused quite a stir in the ninja world. He excels at manipulating fire and shadow, and his fighting style is extremely ferocious.

"Shadow Universe, step back." Blackfire's voice carried an unquestionable authority.

A hint of respect flashed across Ying Zhou's face as he slowly retreated, preparing to accept Blackfire's orders.

"Since you dare to challenge Akatsuki, then be prepared to face true power." Blackfire turned to the three, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

"I will make you understand that the Akatsuki's reputation is not something you can easily challenge." He smiled slightly, flames ignited behind him, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

"We are not afraid of any enemy." Xia Mu's voice was firm, ready to meet new challenges at any time.

The battle has begun again, and the atmosphere between the four is as tense as gunpowder.

At that moment, the howling of the wind rang in my ears, foreshadowing a new crisis that was about to descend.
