Well, to hell with it. A dog with a broken spine is like a dog with a broken spine. Anyway, as long as Nagato was alive and not doing anything stupid, Uchiha Obito was quite happy.
"Come on, Zetsu, let's take a look," he said to Black Zetsu. "If the weapon created by Hidden Cloud Village really kills Uchiha Yue, we can't let them take his eyes!"
In fact, he didn't take these weapons seriously. Maybe this thing could have killed him with one shot, but it was useless. He had Kamui, and physical attacks simply didn't work on him.
But Uchiha Yue didn't have that ability—he was vulnerable.
Soon Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu left this place.
A huge, mountain-like electromagnetic cannon of the Lightning Element stood motionless at the edge of the Region of Dead Silence. A powerful, raging chakra swirled violently around her, electric arcs and sparks flashed on her surface every now and then, and a strong magnetic field enveloped the giant cannon.
Inside the electromagnetic cannon, a group of operators continuously adjusted various data.
The area of Dead Silence was too dark and cold, hopeless like the abyss of space, and defied any detection methods. However, they were able to determine Uchiha Yue's location. The area was a perfect circle, and thanks to a lot of calculations and data recorded during its previous movements, they calculated that it was located exactly in its center.
The Raikage stood in the command room, looking at the screen in front of him, and gave the order:
"Get ready!" Take aim! Fire!
"Eight Tails, unleash your power! Ah-ah-ah! Killer B roared in the energy compartment, furiously unleashing his inner might.
A grandiose, endless stream of chakra gushed out of his body, rushing through the energy channels into a huge cannon. At the same time, Yugito Nii was also furiously releasing the chakra of her tailed beast, maintaining the operation of the electromagnetic cannon. If the chakra supply had stopped, the weapon, having lost its support, would have collapsed under its own weight.
The electromagnetic cannon, like a giant beast, silently and furiously accumulated energy. The barrel moved slowly, adjusting to the changing parameters. Blinding arcs of electricity swept across the hull, as if the cannon was about to explode.
Suddenly, it shuddered. A dull, growing rumble erupted from his huge steel body, turning into a roar. The scattered, seething chakra calmed down at the same moment, sharply contracted, and eventually formed a skeleton of practically materialized energy on the surface of the weapon.
In the distance, Shinobi from all the great villages and even some small ones were watching what was happening. They looked on with hope and anxiety.
"So this is the ultimate weapon of Hidden Cloud Village?" This thing…
— So many chakras, such sizes… Is she really capable of killing Uchiha Yue?
— Get ready. If they manage to kill him and his eyes survive, we must capture them!
— And if the Uchiha dies, but the eyes are destroyed, then it's time to strike at the Cloud. Such dangerous weapons have no place in the Shinobi world!
— Such a weapon is a threat to the security of the whole world!
"What if they fail?"
"Then let's run." Until our own ultimate weapon is ready, we will not be able to defeat Uchiha Yue!
— Charging is complete!
"Fire!" Uchiha Yue, die! The Raikage roared and forcefully pressed the firing button. — May the Shinobi world see the power of our Hidden Cloud Village!
There was an incredibly powerful, deafening sound like the roar of a giant beast.
An electromagnetic projectile, accelerated to the limit, almost melted, burst out of the barrel. In the next instant, the monstrous recoil literally blew up the ground under the cannon, leaving a giant crater in its place. At the same time, a screech of metal, similar to the death howl of a beast, swept through the body of the electromagnetic cannon. If there were no chakra restraining the structure, the weapon itself would have fallen apart, and everyone inside, except jinchuuriki, would have died from the terrifying recoil.
The moment the projectile burst out, it seemed as if the whole world was in the midst of a nuclear explosion. The invisible and intangible air seemed to freeze, turning into a monolith of glass and creating unimaginable resistance in an attempt to stop the projectile.
However, under the onslaught of this absolute, terrifying might, the frozen air was instantly shattered. The projectile, as if encountering no resistance, rushed straight into the dark Area of Dead Silence.
The moment the air wall shattered into fragments, the soft streams of air turned into tangible, steel-hard blades that violently spread out in all directions, destroying everything in their path.
— It's bad, let's run!
—Damn it, what power!
"It can't be... can this thing really kill him?"
The shockwave from the shot instantly killed several Shinobi from small villages. The ninjas from the great villages hastily retreated, resisting the gusts of wind as sharp as blades.
In the distance, Ootsutsuki Ishiki, who was watching the scene, narrowed his pupils at the sight and subconsciously took a step back. The attacking power of this thing was terrifying. He knew that the great villages were developing their own superweapons, but he didn't think much of it. After all, Uchiha Yue was immortal, and these people's weapons couldn't pose a threat to him.
But now…
Damn it, the power of this electromagnetic cannon… He felt that even at the peak of his strength, he would not be able to withstand such a blow with his body— he would simply be blown to pieces. What can we say about his current condition.
"It turns out that these Shinobi have a couple of tricks up their sleeve," Ishiki discarded his contempt and began to take these ninjas seriously.
However, only to a certain extent. The electromagnetic cannon was indeed powerful. But that's only if he didn't know anything about her. If they had targeted him when he wasn't expecting it…
