[Yugakure – Hidden Hot Water Village]
Shizuka and Nagi arrived at the location indicated by the Nadeshiko Village scouts.
Nagi expanded his sensory perception across the entire Land of Hot Water, then narrowed his eyes.
"There really is an evil energy here… but the amount is small, and it's dissipating. No—more accurately, Jashin has probably already been moved elsewhere."
"Moved?"
"Yes."
Nagi instantly expanded his sensory range more than tenfold. A moment later, his expression turned serious.
"Found it… but what is this energy?! The malice is enormous. Even from this distance it feels more sinister than the Jashin from that other world. And this direction…"
"The Unraikyo Valley!"
"Unraikyo Valley?! Don't tell me—"
"Yes. Its target is most likely the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki—Killer B."
Nagi paused, his tone becoming even heavier.
"No… considering the nature of this Jashin, the entire Land of Lightning—and possibly all life in the shinobi world—may be its target."
Shizuka was shocked.
"Then Samui could be in danger!"
"Yes. Let's move."
Because there were no Flying Thunder God markers in the Land of Lightning, Nagi could only carry Shizuka and fly toward Unraikyo Valley at full speed.
[Fourth Raikage A: What?! The Jashin actually went to the Land of Lightning?!]
[Dodai: Damn it. B has already been targeted.]
[Mabui: What worries me most is its strength. Even Nagi, who is at Six Paths–level power, looks serious about it. Lord B may not be able to defeat it.]
[C: And Nagi said earlier that the Jashin grows stronger by killing and feeding on blood. The people of the Land of Lightning might all become its targets.]
[Darui: I wonder if the Benihisago (Amber Purification Pot) would work on it.]
[Dodai: Probably not.]
[Fourth Raikage A: Damn that Jashin!]
[The screen continues…]
Unraikyo Valley
At Killer B's residence, a wall of red flames surrounded the area.
Inside the barrier, Killer B—his body covered in burns—was panting heavily.
Standing opposite him were Obito Uchiha, wearing his spiral orange mask, along with Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
However, Obito's condition was also poor. His clothes were torn, and the upper half of his mask had been shattered.
"As expected of the so-called Perfect Jinchūriki… your power is impressive."
Half an hour earlier, Obito and Black Zetsu had personally come to capture the Eight-Tails.
Although Black Zetsu possessed extensive intelligence on Killer B and Gyūki, capturing him was still extremely difficult.
Killer B engaged Obito in battle.
But relying on Kamui, Obito remained extremely difficult to deal with.
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu continuously interfered from the sidelines.
Killer B even entered Version 2 Tailed Beast Chakra Mode, but under the combined surprise attacks of Black Zetsu and Obito's Wood Release, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
However, Killer B and Gyūki eventually discovered the weakness of Kamui: Obito becomes tangible the moment he attacks.
Feigning weakness, Killer B successfully landed a sneak attack on Obito.
Enraged, Obito abandoned caution and chose to fight head-on.
The result—
Half his mask was shattered, and he was injured.
Black Zetsu quickly came up with a plan.
He deliberately set a trap.
Killer B fell for it.
Forced to escape the trap, Killer B had no choice but to transform into his complete Eight-Tails form.
But this gave Obito the opportunity he needed.
Obito immediately activated a small-scale Uchiha Flame Formation.
The Eight-Tails was suddenly trapped within the barrier, its body burned by the intense heat of the blazing walls.
Taking advantage of the moment—
Obito tore off one of the Eight-Tails' tentacles.
Finally, Killer B was forced to exit his Tailed Beast transformation.
[Fourth Raikage A: Damn Obito! Attacking B at a time like this!]
[Dodai: This is bad. B's condition looks terrible. Even if reinforcements arrive… dealing with the Jashin afterward will be impossible.]
[Darui: This is trouble. It'll take a while before the boss and the rest of us reach the battlefield.]
[Mabui: Obito, you've committed too many evil deeds. Your retribution will come eventually.]
[Karui: Master won't lose to you two cowardly bastards!]
[Omoi: That's right! All you two do is rely on schemes and sneak attacks!]
[The screen continues…]
Just as Obito prepared to launch his next attack—
Black Zetsu suddenly shouted:
"Obito! Someone powerful is coming!"
The moment his voice fell—
A blue lightning bolt streaked across the sky.
In an instant, it appeared beside the Uchiha Flame Formation.
The lightning faded.
A tall, beautiful woman with an impressive figure appeared.
It was Samui.
Killer B immediately reacted.
He was about to shout for Samui to retreat and call for reinforcements—
But then he saw her raise the short blade in her hand.
Lightning Release chakra flowed across the blade.
She swung downward.
In front of the stunned gazes of Obito, Black Zetsu, and Killer B—
The Uchiha Flame Formation was sliced cleanly in half.
It dissipated instantly.
Obito's eyes widened in shock.
He knew the durability of that barrier.
Even a Tailed Beast couldn't break it quickly.
"Reinforcements…?"
Obito decided to capture Samui first to threaten Killer B.
Using Kamui, he suddenly vanished—
Then instantly reappeared behind Samui.
But then—
"Huh? Why does my neck feel so cold…?"
"And why can't I speak?"
Obito looked down in confusion—
At a headless corpse slowly collapsing to the ground.
"Oh… so I'm already dead."
"Madara!!!"
Black Zetsu cried out in shock.
Just moments earlier, he had seen Obito attempt a sneak attack from behind.
But the woman seemed to have predicted it.
With a single lightning-fast draw of her blade—
She decapitated Obito instantly.
Samui turned around.
Opening her palm, she expressionlessly fired a bolt of Lightning Release toward Killer B.
Killer B was still confused.
Seeing the lightning heading toward him, his years of combat experience told him one thing:
He couldn't dodge.
But he wasn't worried.
After all—
Shinobi from Kumogakure rarely attack their own comrades.
Sure enough—
The lightning curved past Killer B—
And struck Obito behind him.
Obito had been extremely cautious.
Before the mission began, he had prepared Izanagi through a Transcription Seal.
The moment Samui decapitated him, Izanagi automatically activated—reviving him.
He intended to seize the opportunity to capture the Eight-Tails.
But Samui frequently sparred with Naruko, Satsuki, and the others, giving her extraordinary perception and reaction speed.
"AAAAAH!"
Obito screamed as the lightning struck him.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Black Zetsu immediately dragged Obito underground—
And escaped using Underground Movement.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
A short while later, Karui and Omoi arrived.
"Captain, why did you run so fa—whoa!! Lord B! Are you alright?!"
"Lord B! Are you okay?!"
Seeing Killer B covered in wounds, the two hurried over in alarm.
"Yo! How could I be hurt? I'm the Eight-Tails' Killer B, oh yeah!"
Seeing that Killer B still had plenty of energy to rap, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
