XX-level Hokage

"The leader of the organization that captures Jinchuriki has arrived. I never expected him to have such power. In short, Kumogakure is finished!" A said, clenching his fists with immense grief and indignation.

Kirabi also fell silent.

The entire village has been reduced to this state; very few of the original inhabitants of Kumogakure will survive. Kumogakure is no more. At this moment, whether it's Darui lying on the ground or Karui, Omoi, and Atsui kneeling beside him, they are all filled with immense grief.

Tsui burst into tears; her sister had disappeared to save her.

"Lord Raikage, do you need help?" Mashiro appeared unexpectedly, carrying Samui, and spoke softly. "You're still here?" Ai looked at Mashiro, somewhat incredulous.

Mashiro placed the still somewhat dizzy Samui on the ground and then walked towards Ai.

"Sister! You're alright?! That's wonderful!" Seeing that Samui was unharmed, Atsui rushed over and hugged her, crying out. "It's alright, I'm fine," Samui said, stroking Atsui's head as she regained consciousness from the dizziness.

But her mind was still somewhat hazy. She remembered the violent impact, the soft embrace, and then those eerie blue eyes. After that, she had no memory of anything else.

Samui stared at Mashiro's retreating figure, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Yes, I'm still here. So, do you need any help, Raikage-sama?" Mashiro walked up to Ai and said softly.

"Big brother, who is she?" Killer Bee glanced at Mashiro, then asked A. "She's an envoy sent by Konoha," A replied.

An envoy? Killer Bee looked at Mashiro, his heart filled with doubt. The moment he saw Mashiro, the Eight-Tails told him that this person was dangerous, an incomparable danger.

"Help? The Cloud Village is already gone, what help do I need! Hahaha." Ai suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with sorrow.

"What if I told you I could resurrect all the ninjas and civilians of Kumogakure, giving the village a new lease on life?" Mashiro said, looking at A with a light laugh.

“If you can really do it, I’ll give you my life, even if it costs you my life,” Ai said to Mashiro.

Mashiro smiled and snapped her fingers lightly. Then thousands of creatures crawled out of the ruins, each spitting out a Cloud Ninja. Several of them then crawled toward Darui and his companions and began to heal their wounds.

Whether it was A, Killer Bee, or Samui and the others, they all watched this scene in utter shock. "Lord Raikage, all the ninjas of Kumogakure are here," Mashiro said with a smile.

“I owe you a favor. Like I said, I would give you my life if you asked. From now on, you are a hero of the Cloud Village.” After a moment of silence, Ai spoke.

Mana nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Next, I will save the civilians in Kumogakure, but only after I've dealt with this guy."

After saying that, Mashiro pointed to the closed gate.

Guan Dao and Zhen Bai exchanged a glance, then slowly began to descend.

Upon seeing Guan Dao, Ai and Killer Bee's eyes turned icy cold, and a surge of anger began to spread across them. "The rest is up to you." Mashiro turned and left.

As we passed Samui, he reached out and picked her up, then walked away into the distance.

"You guys, follow him. We'll handle this guy," Ai said to Karui and the others. He had already realized that Mashiro was no ordinary person. "Yes, Raikage-sama."

Karui and Omoi helped Darui up, and together with Atsui, they quickly ran in the direction Mashiro had left.

Guan Dao slowly landed on the ground, looked at the two of them, then turned his gaze to Killer Bee and said coldly, "So you are the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?"

A activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode again, and Killer Bee transformed into his Eight-Tails form. A fierce battle was about to erupt. Meanwhile, Mashiro was carrying Samui as they walked towards the edge of Kumogakure.

Looking at Mashiro's slightly smiling face, Samui finally couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?" She remembered that Mashiro seemed to be Yugito's friend.

"Do you mean save you? Or save the other ninjas from Kumogakure?" Mashiro asked softly.

“I want to know everything,” Samui said calmly, looking at Mashiro. Her curiosity had always been very strong.

"How to save you is a matter of my privacy, and I regret that I cannot tell you. As for how to save the other ninjas of Kumogakure, that's a long story."

Rewinding to when the Raikage appeared, Mashiro, who had been firmly in control of the battle through the shadow ninja, also began to act. She got up and walked towards Yugito, only to bump into Yugito and Konan, who were locked in a fierce battle.

"The Two-Tails has been captured. How did the Two-Tails in your body come about?" Konan, in her paper angel form, floated in the air and asked Yugito, who had transformed into a tailed beast, in a soft voice.

"If you want to know, guess for yourself," Yugito said coldly, and then the Two-Tails' flames swept towards Konan again. Although it had been soaked in water beforehand, the Two-Tails' flames were still very dangerous for Konan.

Konan dodged the flames from the wooden figure with a swift turn, and then thousands of sheets of white paper scattered from beneath the figure's feet. "The Technique of the Paper God"

The paper was like a sharp blade, trying to cut through Yugito's tailed beast chakra cloak.

Because of the Two-Tails' power, Konan is absolutely no match for Yugito, but it will be difficult for Yugito to defeat Konan quickly.

"Oh dear, what a coincidence. I wonder if you could do me the honor of stopping? After all, we're all family." Mashiro suddenly appeared between the two, forcing them to stop.

Chapter 138: The Great Battle of the Cloud Ninjas (End)

Upon seeing Mashiro suddenly appear, both Yugito and Konan stopped what they were doing.

"Mashiro, what's going on?" Yugito looked at Mashiro with some confusion. She didn't understand why Mashiro wasn't helping her fight the enemy in front of her, but instead chose to mediate.

Konan calmly looked at Mashiro, fully aware of Mashiro's plan.

Without answering Yugito's question, Mashiro turned to Konan and said, "Nagato is about to activate that, you should go quickly." Upon hearing this, Konan's face immediately turned tense, and then she turned into a pile of white paper and disappeared on the spot with the wind.

The Fourth Raikage has appeared, and Killer Bee will be here soon. Given Nagato's current condition, the only way to quickly end the battle is to activate that. "She's my mole within Akatsuki," Mashiro said to Yugito after Konan left.

"I see, I understand." Yugito said, reverting to her tailed beast form, without doubting Mashiro's words.

"Let's go, we need to prepare. The leader of Akatsuki is about to unleash a devastating attack," Mashiro said earnestly.

“Let’s go.” Yugito was already ready to rush towards the guesthouse. “Walking is too slow,” Mashiro said softly.

Before Yugito could react to what Mashiro meant, two pairs of dark hands reached out from her shadow and pulled her into the shadow.

Just as Yugito was about to struggle, she heard Mashiro's voice. "Don't struggle."

Then Yugito stopped moving and disappeared into the shadows. In the inn, Sakura was looking out the window at the chaos. Then Mashiro and Yugito emerged from the shadows.

"Mashiro, you're back. Who is she?" Sakura asked, first with delight at Mashiro, then looking at Yugito beside Mashiro. "She's our helper. Remember what I told you before? The operation is about to begin," Mashiro replied.

Upon hearing Mashiro's words, Sakura's expression turned serious. Their operation this time concerned the lives of many people in Kumogakure.

Through the Shadow Legion, Mashiro could already see the Heavenly Path begin to fly into the sky. "Let's begin," Mashiro said.

Yugito and Sakura exchanged a glance and then nodded.

Yugito formed a hand seal on his abdomen, and a massive amount of Two-Tails chakra poured out.

Upon seeing this, Mashiro instantly activated her Otsutsuki Mode. Her silver hair swayed in the wind, and her milky-white eyes transformed into pale blue Rinnegan. "So beautiful!" "So pretty!"

Both Yugito and Sakura were simultaneously drawn to Mashiro at that moment. "Mikoto..."

Mashiro spoke softly.

A silvery-white radiance appeared, transforming into a long ribbon that circled around Mashiro. At the same time, Mashiro's hands also turned silvery-white.

Mashiro beckoned to the Two-Tails on Yugito's body, and the Two-Tails transformed into chakra, falling into Mashiro's hand. Then, Mashiro connected the Two-Tails' chakra in his hand to Sakura.

Instantly, Sakura's chakra surged, flowing endlessly. "Xiaolou, summon," Mashiro whispered.

Upon hearing this, Sakura immediately used her summoning jutsu, and a continuous stream of spirits were summoned.

Mashiro had Tsunade inform the Sage in advance. The Sage was summoned in a single-person healing form, thus summoning a large amount of chakra.

Upon landing, he was pulled into the shadows by the shadowy ninja.

At the same time, as "Super Shinra Tensei" was about to descend, a [symbol/image] appeared on the shadows of all the ninjas except for the Cloud Ninja in the center of the battlefield.

It appeared and instantly enveloped them.

As the Two-Tails' chakra continued to leak out of Yugito's body, Sakura summoned more and more of its own.

Mashiro used the Shadow Legion to sense all the Cloud Ninja. "Alright, that's enough."

"Envelop the last Cloud Ninja in Yu," Mashiro said. Then, the long, silvery-white aura around Mashiro disappeared.

The chakra connection between Yukito and Sakura was instantly severed. Mashiro hurriedly formed hand seals.

"Watery Barrier", "Sinking Earth Wall", "Nature's Barrier"

Three defensive ninjutsu techniques instantly appeared, with the wooden doll and Sakura protecting them. "You stay here."

After Mashiro finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot.

Then, with a "whoosh," the power of Shinra Tensei was revealed. "Ranya Kanchen"

Zhenzi's body shimmered with a faint blue light, and everything that touched her seemed to be as if she did not exist.

A shockwave-generated flow of steel mud rushed past ahead. Mashiro saw Samui being swept away and killed within it. Then, Mashiro gently waved his hand and pulled Samui out of the steel mud. Samui's fate was changed, and the reality that had just happened was distorted.

Qiu Yushen and Ran Ya Guan Chen are two abilities of Mashiro's own Rinnegan.

After the activation of Blasphemy, all forms of chakra that Mashiro comes into contact with will transform into the most primitive form of chakra, and Mashiro can then re-integrate it using his own hands.

Mashiro used this ability to transform the Two-Tails' chakra into primal chakra, and then transferred it to Sakura with his own hands, artificially creating a chakra channel.

After Ran Ya Tian Chen is activated, Mashiro will enter a state called "Unstained". This state is somewhat similar to Kamui's Hollowfication, but completely different. Kamui's Hollowfication transfers his body to an independent space, while Unstained allows the host to be independent of time, achieving a time difference. This makes it impossible for any attack to reach Mashiro, because Mashiro is not in the time period of the attack.

Being in a state of purity not only allows Mashiro to avoid any attacks, but also allows him to attack the opponent's future. This is because attacks launched by Mashiro in a state of purity are ineffective against the opponent. However, when the time comes for Mashiro to launch his attack, injuries will befall him.

The unstained state is set for ten minutes, meaning that Mashiro's true form will be ten minutes later. This is the only drawback of Ran Ya Tian Chen. If the opponent attacks the location where Mashiro will be ten minutes later, the injury will also be reflected back to Mashiro in the present.

Furthermore, Ran Ya Tian Chen possesses a certain ability to alter the future. Just now, it was the current Mashiro who saved Samui, thus changing the outcome of Samui's death ten minutes later.

Back to the present, Mashiro carried Samui to the guesthouse, where Yugito and Sakura were resting. Both of them were exhausted from releasing the Two-Tails and continuously summoning it. It seemed that the three barriers created by Mashiro using Sage Chakra had protected them well.

With Mashiro's arrival, the three barriers disappeared automatically. Mashiro carried Samui into the guesthouse, followed closely by the others.

"Samui?! Are you alright?" Yugito asked anxiously when she saw Samui in Mashiro's arms; Samui was one of the few people she knew well. "I'm fine, nothing's wrong," Samui said as Mashiro placed her on the sofa.

"You guys stay here for now, I'll go outside and take a look." Mashiro looked at Yugito and the other two, then at Darui and the other three, and said softly before turning and leaving.

In the center of the deep pit, Ai and Killer Bee were fighting against the Heavenly Eagle.

Logically speaking, A and Killer Bee shouldn't have been able to defeat Nagato, but Nagato's physical weakness severely limited his strength. Therefore, Pain began to suffer a setback in his training.

Finally, Heaven closed its hands. "Earth-Exploding Star"

A small black ball floated out of Nagato's hand, and then the immense gravity created rocks, steel, soil, and trees.

Everything around them was being drawn to the sphere, especially Killer Bee and A, who were sucked straight into its center and then surrounded by rocks and mud. A huge spherical object floated above the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 139: The Art of Reincarnation and Heavenly Life

Deep within Planet Chibaku Tensei, Killer Bee sensed everything around him and then unleashed his final move, fully transforming into a Tailed Beast. An enormous octopus, carrying immense chakra, began to gather a Tailed Beast Ball.

Just as he was about to shatter Chibaku Tensei and break free, Mashiro on the ground activated Otsutsuki Mode. His pale blue Rinnegan stared at the Eight-Tails, and in an instant, the Eight-Tails' chakra began to stagnate and contract, as if it had encountered something incredibly terrifying. No matter how Killer Bee shouted, it was to no avail.

In the end, only one enormous tentacle managed to break free with all its might, then flung A out of Planet Blast. Killer Bee then transformed into human form, rendered powerless to fight any longer.

Then, Planet Devastation shattered, and countless boulders rained down from the sky. Killer Bee was knocked unconscious. Deva Path flew into the air, grabbed Killer Bee's body, and then disappeared.

"Compare!!!"

Ai, who had been thrown into the rocks, witnessed this scene and was heartbroken.

"It's done." Mashiro, watching this scene from a distance, muttered to herself before disappearing into the shadows.
