83: A chill

When Obito Uchiha put the Outer Path Demonic Statue into his Kamui dimension and rushed back to Konoha with Rin Nohara.

Wind Country, Sunagakure.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha looked down from high in the sky.

At this time, in Sunagakure.

The One-Tailed Shukaku, which had just been separated from Gaara's body, was rampaging wildly.

Blacklight Warriors and some deceased Konoha ninjas from Sunagakure surrounded Shukaku.

In the very center, Rasa and Gaara, who had brought people to occupy Sunagakure, along with the Third Kazekage, were battling Shukaku.

“It’s alright, Gaara, sleep, Mom is back.”

After completing the Blacklight Virus fusion, Gaara lay in Gaara's arms.

He, who hadn't slept since becoming a Jinchuriki, could no longer resist the overwhelming drowsiness and fell asleep with tear-streaked cheeks.

“Fourth Kazekage, let me see how much of my Magnet Release essence your Magnet Release has!”

As he spoke, the Third Kazekage clapped his hands, and black iron sand surged from the ground, attaching itself to Shukaku, attempting to seal him.

Rasa, standing beside him, sneered upon hearing the Third Kazekage's words.

“Heh, then watch closely!”

As he spoke, Rasa clapped his hands and roared.

“Great Funeral of Gold Dust!”

Fine gold dust gathered into a wave, similarly surging from the yellow sand.

“Damn humans!”

Accompanied by a roar, Shukaku was unwillingly and completely trapped in the iron sand and gold dust by their ninjutsu.

“Are these the ninjas of this era?”

“Heh, they’re not too bad.”

Seeing the Third Kazekage and Rasa jointly controlling the iron sand and gold dust that trapped Shukaku, flying towards Konoha Village.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha changed direction and flew towards the other ninja villages.

······

The other countries also presented a similar scene.

Lightning Country.

Yugito Nii and Killer B, these two Jinchuriki, lay on the ground, their fates unknown.

No matter how strong a Tailed Beast was, facing dozens of small Supermen whose defenses even a Tailed Beast Ball couldn't break, they had to obediently be forced back into their Jinchuriki's bodies.

The hotheads of Hidden Cloud Village were slightly different from other countries.

Other countries, when facing their deceased relatives, had no desire to resist.

These hotheads were different.

They firmly believed that the dead should not interfere with the affairs of the living.

They stubbornly refused to be incorporated and resisted to the end.

The Third Raikage, Ay, and the deceased ninjas of Lightning Country tried to persuade them for several days, but couldn't move them.

Finally, there was no choice but to use force.

“B! B!”

“Yugito! Yugito!”

“Damn it! How can the power difference be so great?”

The Fourth Raikage, Ay, gasped for breath, his expression ferocious.

He simply couldn't understand.

The battle was clearly taking place on his own territory.

Hidden Cloud Village should have had all the advantages.

How could Hidden Cloud Village have fallen within less than half a day since the battle began?

In fact, if it weren't for the Third Raikage and the deceased ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village pleading for mercy.

Then it wouldn't just be a simple fall now.

The Blacklight Warriors could have killed all the resisting Hidden Cloud Village ninjas in half a day.

Ninjas have high attack and low defense.

High attack, but couldn't break through the Blacklight Warriors' defenses.

Low defense, couldn't defend against heat rays, couldn't even withstand the Blacklight Warriors' fists.

How could they fight?

Walking up to Yugito Nii, DeFrey squatted down, grabbed Yugito's hair, and carefully looked at her face.

“Hank, this woman looks pretty good, did we go too far?”

“And that one over there, the big-chested, blonde one, bring them both back to offer to My Lord.”

“As for the Fourth Raikage…”

As he spoke, DeFrey licked his lips, revealing a sinister smile.

“I like it!”

The Fourth Raikage, Ay, who was gasping for breath, inexplicably shivered, a wave of disgust washing over him.

‘What’s going on? Why do I have this illusion of being targeted by something dirty!’

Above the clouds.

“It seems this side is also resolved.”

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha circled the Ninja World and found that collecting Tailed Beasts didn't require them at all.

The guiding ninjas and Blacklight Warriors who went to various villages could easily knock out and capture Jinchuriki, or separate the Tailed Beasts.

“Let’s go back, Your Highness is still waiting.”

“Mm!”

······

Konoha Village, Hokage Building rooftop.

The weather was clear, with not a cloud in the sky.

The Blacklight Warriors and their guides who went to various ninja villages to capture Tailed Beasts returned one after another, bringing the Tailed Beasts with them.

In addition to the Tailed Beasts, there were also many women who had been tied up and brought back…

Pakura and Temari from Sunagakure.

Mei Terumi from Kirigakure.

Yugito Nii and Samui from Hidden Cloud Village.

Kurotsuchi from Iwagakure.

Seeing these women, big and small, tied up like slaves and led before him.

Joa was stunned on the spot.

‘What kind of image do my subordinates have of me, Tom?’

Just as he was about to speak but hesitated, wanting to explain something to Tsunade and the others.

A sharp cry came from the street below.

“Don’t touch me!”

Looking down.

DeFrey was seen touching and groping the Fourth Raikage, Ay.

That sharp cry was indeed from the Fourth Raikage, Ay.

‘Good heavens, is this Raikage going cross-genre?’

‘It doesn’t seem like cross-genre, more like changing channels? Changing categories?’

He inwardly complained a couple of times.

Joa regained his composure, his face displeased.

“Bringing back so many women! What kind of person do you take me for?”

“Am I that kind of person?”

“Send them all to my house, I want to criticize them thoroughly!”

Hearing Joa’s words, Tsunade and the others looked resentful.

But the Blacklight Warriors and his subordinate ninjas’ faces were filled with joy.

‘We gambled correctly, the supreme black light will My Lord is indeed very satisfied.’

After the female ninjas from various villages were led away, Joa cleared his throat.

“Ahem, have all the Tailed Beasts been gathered?”

Joa asked this merely to change the subject.

With his eyesight, of course he could see the Tailed Beasts gathered outside the village.

If he didn't change the subject, he would have to explain his earlier actions to Tsunade and the others.

Now Tsunade and the others were looking at him with increasing displeasure.

“My Lord, they are all gathered.”

“Now Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, and others are outside the village watching those Tailed Beasts.”

“Okay, let’s go back to Blacklight Star.”

Grinning, Joa looked back at Tsunade and the others, then directly vanished.

Outside Konoha Village.

Obito Uchiha was reluctantly apologizing to Minato Namikaze and his wife under Rin Nohara's urging.

“I’m sorry, I was late, which led to Rin Nohara's death, and I failed to recognize my own disciple, Fourth Hokage My Lord, I was wrong.”

“Obito!”

Rin Nohara was about to scold Obito, wanting him to be more serious and apologize properly.

Minato Namikaze raised his hand to interrupt her, then looked at Obito, who was bowing ninety degrees.

Walking slowly to Obito, he placed a hand on his shoulder, Minato Namikaze said softly.

“Obito, welcome home.”

Kakashi, who was watching them, also walked forward and spoke in a relaxed tone.

“Welcome home, Obito.”

Slowly standing up, Obito's eyes gradually welled up with tears.

“Welcome home.”

“Obito.”

Turning to look at Rin Nohara’s gentle smile, Obito completely broke down, tears gushing out like a spring.

“I’m back!”

‘Your Highness, the great and supreme black light will?’

‘Thank you! Truly, thank you very much!’
