Chapter 18: The Angry Child Recruitment Animation
The power of the tailed beasts is indeed exaggerated. Even Rin Nohara, who had only undergone a preliminary tailed beast transformation, unleashed absolute destructive power.
But since ancient times, smoke has been harmless.
With the extreme speed of Swift Escape and the insight of the Sharingan, Nohara Rin's attacks could not truly reach Makoto Karatachi.
His figure darted about like a ghost between the chakra beams, seemingly in great danger, but in reality, he handled it with ease, even managing to steal a glance at the battle on the other side of the Five-Five-One in the distance.
When Nohara Rin's attack missed again, she became even more enraged.
The chakra gathering in her mouth no longer dispersed, but became highly concentrated and compressed, forming a jet-black sphere with a destructive red light emanating from its center.
"Hey, stop messing around."
Makoto's expression turned serious. Even an incomplete Tailed Beast Ball was far more powerful than the chakra beam from before.
Once this is launched, the terrain will inevitably change drastically, and it may even cause some natural disasters.
This Blue Water Island is a transit point for supplies, and it's under our own jurisdiction, so we can't just let it be destroyed like this.
"The strongest illusion eye, let me see your limits!"
There were no hand seals, no signs.
The moment Nohara Rin's violent and chaotic eyes met Karatachi Makoto's blood-red three-tomoe eyes, an invisible force, striking straight at the spirit, pierced her chaotic consciousness like the sharpest ice pick!
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
"Ugh!"
The unfinished Tailed Beast Ball that Nohara Rin had been gathering in her mouth suddenly dissipated, turning into uncontrollable chakra turbulence that shot out in all directions.
Her forward momentum abruptly froze, her hands clutching her head in agony, the chakra tail and outer garment behind her pulsating violently, flickering unpredictably.
Gouju Cheng gave her no chance to catch her breath.
The three-tomoe Sharingan is not the Mangekyou Sharingan, so it is obviously impossible to directly control the tailed beasts, but it is still possible to guide and suppress them to a certain extent.
Of course, the most crucial element is the inner struggle of the female demon from the ninja world!
Suddenly, the world around Nohara Rin, who was feeling dizzy and disoriented, began to spin. Then, a scene appeared before her eyes.
That's Konoha, the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire.
The once peaceful village is now engulfed in smoke and fire. The raging Three-Tails is wreaking havoc in Konoha, houses are collapsing, and ninjas and civilians are fleeing in agony. Countless familiar faces have been reduced to ashes by the power of the tailed beast...
"No...don't..."
"Village, Konoha, don't hurt the village..."
The power of the illusion receded like the tide, but a strong resistance erupted from the depths of Lin's soul.
As expected of a female demon from the ninja world who could withstand the seal of a tailed beast, with the dual enhancement of the Sharingan and Rin Nohara's own will, the raging power of the tailed beast flickered like a flame without new fuel.
The crimson chakra cloak and tail disintegrated inch by inch, turning into free-floating chakra specks that dissipated into the air.
At the same time, the violent red light in her eyes receded like the tide, and Nohara Rin knelt down with a thud, supporting herself with her hands and panting heavily.
Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes finally regained their clarity.
It was filled with lingering fear and dread.
"Lin!"
Seeing that Rin's tailed beast chakra had dissipated and she had regained consciousness, Kakashi was greatly encouraged and, disregarding his own injuries, wanted to rush towards Rin.
But the surrounding Mist Ninjas wouldn't let him have his way, and they all stepped forward to restrain him.
"I...I almost..."
"No, don't..."
Lin collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with fear.
She sensed it; the immense, chaotic, and hateful chakra within her body was only temporarily suppressed, and the seal was extremely fragile, capable of erupting again at any moment.
Once this chakra erupts, she has no way to control it, especially if it were to occur in Konoha...
The images that had previously surfaced in her mind involuntarily resurfaced.
"I can't control it...it will destroy everything..."
"We can't let it return to Konoha... Absolutely not!"
"squeak!!"
The sound of countless birds screeching and shrieking echoed across Blue Island as Kakashi once again used his self-created ninjutsu to force Aoki and the others to retreat.
At the same time, Nohara Rin also noticed the dazzling Thousand Birds Lightning.
A thought flashed through her clear yet desperate mind like lightning.
If... if I die... the monster inside me... will it die with me?
If I die... if I die, Konoha will no longer be harmed...
Yes... that's it...
"Kakashi!"
With her last bit of strength, Rin called out Kakashi's name.
At the same time, she suddenly burst forth with power from somewhere, stood up abruptly, and charged towards Kakashi's direction, towards the flashing lightning!
Her figure swept through the dust and smoke. Kakashi, who was fighting against Aoki and the others, noticed Rin's appearance, but his body was moving at high speed and his moves were too slow to dodge.
"Pfft!"
The dull thud of a sharp blade piercing flesh sounded particularly jarring in the suddenly deathly silent warehouse.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Kakashi's right hand, enveloped in dazzling and violent lightning chakra, burst forth from Rin Nohara's chest.
The unstoppable Thousand Birds pierced through Lin's body and completely shattered her heart.
And at that very moment.
"No!!!"
A roar filled with extreme sorrow and disbelief rang out from the other side of the battlefield.
A young man in a tattered black robe burst onto the battlefield. His twisted face had only one blood-red eye staring intently at the scene before him, at Kakashi's Chidori right hand that pierced through Rin's chest, and at Rin's slowly collapsing body.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely and freeze at this moment.
All the sounds of fighting, the echoes of explosions, and the shouts of ninjas on the battlefield seemed to have vanished.
All that remained was the figure's heavy, disordered breathing, and the shocking scene before him, a scene he had never imagined.
Kakashi... killed Rin...
The whole world seemed to freeze at that moment.
Kakashi's right eye and this guy's left eye were reflecting each other at this moment.
An indescribable, peculiar, chilling chakra surged from the two of them. Stimulated by this chakra, their blood-red, twin-tomoe Sharingan eyes spun continuously, eventually completing their connection and evolution.
Kaleidoscope Sharingan!
"You've come at just the right time, Kenji."
Gazing at the world-famous painting before him, Makoto Kariju silently activated the Hand of God, replacing the previously worthless Tailed Beast Transformation with the invincible Kamui.
Although I can't experience the pain of instantly upgrading to Mangekyou Sharingan with two tomoe, I still give the utmost recognition to the strength of your eyes!
Overwhelmed by the intense emotions, Kakashi Hatake finally collapsed to the ground and fainted.
But the real trouble is about to begin!
"Lin..."
"Lin ahhhhh!!!"
