Kairen once again activated the Byakugan, pushing it to full power. The entire capital of the Land of Fire no longer showed any trace of Minato and the others—looks like they really had left.
Kairen no longer bothered with those long-winded guys and flew down from the sky.
Seeing that the battle had already drawn to a close, several rays of light hidden in the darkness also withdrew, but the killing intent contained within them was several degrees stronger than before.
This child… must absolutely not be allowed to live!!
Shan gathered together with the shadow clones, nonstop posing and snapping photos of the majestic Susanoo.
"Click! Click! Click!"
They had already picked tomorrow's headline: "Shocking!! Three Kage-level ninjas of Konoha were beaten into a rout by a mere genin! What on earth is this…"
Shan asked, "Boss, keeping the Perfect Susanoo active the whole time—won't your eyes get dry?!"
Kairen waved his hand. "Minor issue. I feel great right now. I could even keep Susanoo open and dance!"
"Watch—"
"♫ Come on ♪ left side ♪ draw a dragon with me ♪ on your right ♪ draw a rainbow ♪ …"
Kairen directly started dancing Wild Wolf Disco while piloting a hundred-meter-tall Susanoo—extremely brainwashing.
It made Uchiha Madara, who had just been about to withdraw his gaze, twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"This kid really doesn't know the meaning of life and death. With that little bit of ocular power, he still doesn't hurry to shut it down—and even dares to dance! Hmph!"
Not long after, blood flowed from Kairen's seven orifices.
He quickly stabbed himself once. After restoring his condition, he dispelled the fiery-red giant and slowly descended from the sky.
The shadow clones stepped forward, helping Kairen put on his gray short shirt, then draped a black trench coat over him.
Cigarette in mouth, fire lit, gold chain on—he looked just like a gang boss who had just finished chopping someone up.
"Kairen~"
A crisp voice rang out from afar.
Kairen hurriedly discarded his gangster getup. He couldn't corrupt children or ruin his heroic image in Koyuki's heart.
Kairen changed back into the gray short shirt from before, slowly turned around, and looked toward the group in the distance.
Miroku, Koyuki, the Kazahana daimyō, and several shadow clones—and beside them lay a black-and-white ferocious beast.
Fenchu activated the curse mark, transforming into a bear about a meter tall. The bear's paws clutched a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to the Land of Fire daimyō.
The man was disheveled, looking just like a beggar.
Koyuki, like a joyful little deer, trotted over on the soft forest soil and leapt into Kairen's arms.
"Kairen~"
Kairen picked Koyuki up.
Koyuki hugged Kairen's neck and planted an affectionate kiss.
"Kairen is amazing! You could even conjure such a huge giant, and you chased away all those ugly snakes and toads."
Kairen smiled. It seemed that during the battle, Koyuki and the others had been watching from the shadows.
The Kazahana daimyō swept his gaze over the battlefield, then swallowed hard.
The entire city had been smashed to pieces. This kind of power was truly beyond the imagination of ordinary people like them.
The army of one hundred thousand samurai was nowhere to be seen—presumably all buried beneath the ruins.
The Kazahana daimyō once again faced squarely the power ninjas possessed. He had originally thought they were only a little stronger than ordinary people.
Skilled in assassination, doing shady work in the dark.
But some individuals were special—like Kairen. The power he possessed now was already enough to decide the fate of a nation.
The Kazahana daimyō stepped forward, his tone a bit more intimate than before, almost about to call him son-in-law.
"Kairen, I really never imagined you could defeat so many people."
Kairen smiled. One hundred thousand samurai were nothing—just a bunch of unawakened muggles. Many powerful ninjas in the ninja world could defeat them.
For example, Sasori of the Red Sand's Hundred Puppets Performance, or Jiraiya and Orochimaru's massive summoning beasts.
Defeating a bunch of muggles was nothing to be proud of.
Kairen handed Koyuki back to the Kazahana daimyō, then stepped forward and quickly took Miroku's hand.
"Let go!"
Miroku's cheeks flushed red as she struggled to pull her hand free, but her strength was completely useless.
Kairen shamelessly dragged her to the Land of Fire daimyō, looking at this bedraggled ruler of the continent's center.
"Kneel!"
Two shadow clones stepped forward, kicking the Land of Fire daimyō's calves from left and right, forcing him to his knees.
Through his tangled hair, the Land of Fire daimyō stared at the calm, indifferent Kairen as if seeing a ghost, muttering nonstop,
"You're not human! You're not human!"
Kairen rubbed Miroku's soft little hand, raising his estimation of the Land of Fire daimyō a bit—he hadn't expected him to actually see through his true nature.
That's right! He indeed wasn't human—he was a wolf in human skin.
Beside him, Miroku shoved away the hand Kairen was holding.
"You pervert! Never serious for a single day."
Miroku agreed with the Land of Fire daimyō's assessment. Her power could clearly sense Kairen's heart.
Women! Women lying down! And women moving on their own… women in all kinds of positions.
Truly an evil creature. Sooner or later, she would purify him.
Kairen put both hands on his hips, his cold pupils focusing on the Land of Fire daimyō.
It was as if the chill of the northern lands covered the Land of Fire daimyō's body, making him tremble uncontrollably.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I can give you the entire Land of Fire!"
Kairen shook his head. As a feudal ruler, the Land of Fire daimyō seemed important, but in reality he was dispensable.
He was merely the representative of the Land of Fire's nobles. Without him, the nobles would simply choose a new daimyō.
Anyone could take the position—as long as they represented their interests!
But not killing him wasn't Kairen's style either.
Kairen thought for a moment—he'd butcher him right in front of the entire capital's populace! Let the world see that even a heaven-appointed ruler would ultimately become just another box.
"Susanoo!"
Kairen opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and a layer of fiery-red chakra enveloped everyone present.
"Bang bang bang…"
Kairen's shadow clones dispersed one by one.
Within the fiery-red Susanoo, Koyuki curiously looked around as everyone floated up.
The inside of Susanoo was like seawater—lifting people up without making it hard to breathe.
Using Susanoo for travel—in the original story, only middle-aged Sasuke from Boruto did that, purely to show off in front of his daughter.
"Mmm~"
Wolon and Fenchu swam around inside Susanoo, treating it like a sea of chakra.
Kairen piloted Susanoo in flight, and in just a few moments arrived atop the inner city's gate tower.
...
Outside the city, a vast, dark mass—nothing but heads as far as the eye could see.
Lavishly dressed noble ministers, armored soldiers, and groups upon groups of civilians in plain clothes…
The battle within the inner city had sounded like a magnitude-ten-plus earthquake. Amid fear, people's hearts were also filled with curiosity.
They looked up toward the sky and saw a hundred-meter-tall flaming giant.
Voices continuously rang out from the crowd.
"What is that? It looks like an armored warrior wearing a mask."
"So huge."
"Look! In that giant's hand, there's a person!"
"That's… the daimyō!!"
Some nobles recognized the Land of Fire daimyō, and in an instant, a storm of discussion erupted below.
