Hiromi opened his eyes, and the scorching white light fell upon the charging A.
A's expression was very grim. Approaching within three meters of Hiromi, no one could feel more clearly than he did the indifference in Hiromi's gaze.
He, who wanted to kill Hiromi, felt a sense of immorality welling up in his heart, as if... he were desecrating a god.
Absurd! But it's real!
"Lightning Release: Double Lariat!!!"
He roared, his eyes turning red, wanting to twist off Hiromi's head and destroy the absurd sense of immorality he felt.
The lightning on A's body became even more ferocious.
Meanwhile, the Tailed Beast Chakra on Bee, who was behind Hiromi, also became more solid, his presence astonishing. The Chakra of his partial Tailed Beast transformation loomed beneath his skin, as if it were about to emerge.
Their momentum reached its peak, managing to somewhat overwhelm Hiromi's Molten God Form.
This filled Yugito, Dōdai, and Darui with bright anticipation. They hoped this AB combination could, as usual, use Lightning Release: Double Lariat to twist off the enemy's head.
But in the next second, the red pendant on Hiromi's forehead flashed, and a red light covered the surroundings, emitting a stunning, sweltering heat.
A and Bee arrived with their attack.
Boom!!!
A deafening sound created a massive gust of wind, rushing out while carrying high temperatures.
It was like a bomb, washing away the ashes of the surrounding trees that had been burned to nothing, sending them flying upwards.
Yugito, Dōdai, and Darui looked back at the scene. The red light had vanished, revealing three figures.
The head they had hoped to see fall was still on Hiromi's neck.
A and Bee had their arms locked in front of and behind Hiromi's neck, unable to advance even a millimeter.
Only then could they see that at Hiromi's neck, a solid object condensed from red light shimmered with a metallic luster under the dim sunlight, firmly blocking the unstoppable Lightning Release: Double Lariat.
And the arms in contact with it were being rapidly drained of their Tailed Beast Chakra and Lightning Chakra by the scorching heat and melting properties. It was as if a higher-level power was crushing them, forcing them to use quantity to resist.
At this moment, the ground within a hundred meters of Hiromi's feet was instantly dyed a golden color, emitting a scorching heat.
Boom!
A massive hand appeared, as if a giant were about to crawl out from underground.
"Retreat!" A's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly shouted.
But the thing on Hiromi's neck entangled their arms, preventing them from leaving.
Bee's entire body was instantly covered in Chakra, with only fragments of skin remaining, evaporating within the high-intensity Chakra. Eight tails appeared on his back, and his entire body looked much larger and fierce, resembling a humanoid monster. Additionally, white bones appeared at his elbows.
Bee was going to elbow Hiromi's head and kill him!
"Break!"
As soon as A's voice sounded, Bee widened his eyes in disbelief.
In the next second, he gritted his teeth and changed direction. His bone turned into a blade, and the elbow strike landed on his own arm.
Slash!
His right arm was severed, and Hiromi's restraint failed.
But Bee's elbow strike didn't stop. He circled around Hiromi, tracing a smooth curve, and landed on A's only remaining right arm.
Slash!
A let out a cold snort, and was pulled away from Hiromi by the force carried by Bee.
Having lost his right arm, A was now without any hands.
Bee, who had severed his right arm, was rapidly recovering with the help of Gyuki's Chakra.
From the golden lava on the ground, another hand appeared.
Boom!
The hand tried to predict Bee and A's escape route, but they nimbly dodged it and converged with Yugito, Dōdai, and Darui.
The five of them stood together, looking somewhat disheveled. But at this moment, they didn't have time to recover.
They all looked at the monster crawling out of the golden lava, their expressions grim. The monster was massive, about seventy meters tall, with powerful limbs covered in fragmented black stones that shimmered with a metallic luster. Between the black stones, red, lava-like viscous liquid flowed.
The moment it opened its eyes, revealing a white light, it seemed to have awakened. The rough face instantly transformed into a furious one.
Hiromi walked forward and merged into it, disappearing from sight.
The giant seemed to have changed its controller, looking down at A and the other four, its voice filled with killing intent.
"Come, kill me."
...
Several kilometers away.
Uchiha Clan Members stared blankly at the giant, which was comparable in size to Nine-Tails.
"Is... is this Hiromi?"
Not only them, but even Shisui was stunned.
With such a massive body, plus terrifying high temperature, high defense, and high melting power, even Nine-Tails wouldn't have an advantage over it, right?
They couldn't help but recall the terrifying, indifferent aura from just moments ago, and thought it was Kumogakure's trump card. But they didn't expect...
A glow of amazement appeared on every Uchiha's face, and they couldn't help but want to get closer.
Meanwhile, Shisui, Itachi, and Fugaku had some headaches.
This Uchiha had just ignored orders and wanted to support Hiromi, and now they couldn't help but want to go and watch. No wonder Hiromi was sometimes irritable with the Uchiha.
"Do not make Hiromi angry!"
"Follow the plan!"
"Complete your own tasks!"
Under the suppression of Shisui, Itachi, and Fugaku, the three battalions bypassed Hiromi's location.
Although Shisui and the others didn't arrive at the scene, they could guess that Hiromi must have been besieged by the strongest people in Kumogakure. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to use such a trump card.
Therefore, the Kumogakure army must currently be leaderless, and this was the perfect opportunity to lead the battalions to wipe them out.
As for the location of the Kumogakure Army, it was easy to guess. It must be not far behind.
Because if the distance was too far, and the entire Uchiha clan went to wipe out A and other Kumogakure powerhouses, then Kumogakure would truly be leaderless. So they had to maintain a safe distance.
Not to mention reinforcements, at least it had to be a distance that could cover a retreat.
The Uchiha Clan Members, who had been cautious all night, became bold. One figure after another swept rapidly through the forest, silently.
