A stared intently at the skeletal frame of rage that had only developed some cracks.
"Susanoo!"
His expression was extremely grim. He hadn't expected that not only the Fire Release Chakra Mode, but even the Susanoo could rival his strongest Lightning Release Armor.
Sensing the rapid depletion of Chakra within his body, he couldn't afford any more delay. With a ruthless look, he made a decisive move, and his right hand blade struck down once more.
Although Hiromi's body couldn't react in time, his Susanoo could. However, he didn't choose to block.
Because...
A had severed his own left arm.
Swoosh!
There was no blood as the wound was instantly cauterized by the high temperature.
After severing his arm, A instantly retreated, distancing himself from Hiromi. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and attacked the golden flame cage that was constantly closing in from behind. With a single hand blade strike, he barely managed to break a hole and dove out through the covering golden flames.
Hiromi stood there very calmly, as if he hadn't reacted, letting A escape and vanish from sight. His hand was still holding A's severed arm that was stuck in his left chest.
In the next second, the sturdy severed arm was absorbed using Cellular Regeneration Absorption, mending the bloody hole in his chest. Simultaneously, his heart, which had been moved to the right side, was shifted back by Earth Grudge Fear.
Having finished this, he looked toward the empty, bloody ruins before him with a calm expression.
"Thinking of retreating now? It's too late."
Blue lightning emerged in Hiromi's hand. This was A's Chakra absorbed by the Rinnegan.
This clump of blue lightning rapidly changed in his hand, covering his entire body like a thin layer of energy.
This was Hiromi's Rinnegan ability. It could transform his own things into whatever he desired.
Besides this primary ability, there was an optional one—Intimidation.
Currently, he was in the Flame Emperor Form, so no one noticed, thinking that Hiromi's Flame Emperor Form simply had such strong intimidation effect. But once he deactivated it, they would clearly feel the noble sense of pressure emanating from Hiromi's body.
Ordinary people would likely feel a sense of terror just by seeing his back, not daring to look directly at his existence.
This ability was called—Shinkō Sanrei.
It was also one of the trump cards Hiromi had just used to take such a risk.
Just now, his Rinnegan could clearly see that A was going to pierce his left chest. Besides the insurance of moving his heart in advance with Earth Grudge Fear, he could also use Shinkō Sanrei to consume Chakra and quickly form a new heart, ensuring he wouldn't die.
Furthermore, if the worst-case scenario occurred—where A cautiously engaged in a protracted fight, ignoring his own Chakra consumption just to exhaust his Chakra, he would decisively transform his Lava Release Chakra Mode into a massive amount of Chakra.
No matter what, Hiromi stood in an invincible position.
At this moment, having gained this thin layer of blue lightning, he obtained speed comparable to A.
He glanced at the missions in his mind.
[Mission Name: You Dare Use Your Ultimate in the village Center Too?]
[Mission Content: Kill the Fourth Raikage, A!]
[Mission Reward: Sage Body]
Besides this, there was another mission.
[Mission Name: You Guys Call Yourselves Kage?]
[Mission Content: Kill the Five Kage!]
[Mission Reward: Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan]
Hiromi felt the Sage Body reward was decent. Under Cellular Regeneration Absorption and the Rinnegan ability Shinkō Sanrei, it was roughly on the same level as the Strength of a Hundred Seal. The extra advantage was likely being able to use Eight Inner Gates without dying.
However, regarding the matter of training in Eight Inner Gates, he felt it was worth a try after obtaining the Sage Body. Setting aside whether he had the talent to reach the eighth gate, in terms of tempering one's will, Eight Inner Gates was certainly better than ordinary training.
But compared to the Sage Body, he was currently more covetous of the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan.
Sasuke's six-tomoe Rinnegan had one ability, let alone a Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. It would definitely provide another ability.
According to his self-understanding, the probability of the other dōjutsu being Izanagi was extremely high. The number of daily deaths might be three, or until the ocular power was exhausted. Even if it wasn't, any other ability would be a massive boost for him.
Now, Hokage Hiruzen and Kazekage Rasa were dead.
Only three left.
"Now the Raikage is going to die too." Hiromi said with a faint smile.
In an instant, Hiromi's speed exploded, and he vanished, leaving behind the dumbfounded Konoha villagers and ninjas.
"How did he suddenly disappear?"
"I think I saw an afterimage."
"So fast..."
Kakashi looked in the direction Hiromi had left, unable to help gulping as Hiromi's words echoed in his mind—I hope the person who possesses Uchiha eyes is a good person who can walk alongside the Uchiha.
For a moment, his whole body went cold, and his thoughts were in complete disarray.
He touched his left eye, his expression full of bitterness.
'Obito, it seems you've forced me into a position where I have no choice but to join the Uchiha.'
