The chakra frame covering him shattered into pieces. The dense and durable special alloy melted like snow under the onslaught of high-energy particles.
It was evaporating, its structure disintegrating before our eyes. A powerful explosion, barely having time to sound, was drowned in a stream of blue-purple particles.
— Ah, ah!!! POWER, COME OUT!!! Ah-Ah-Ah!!!
The Raikage roared madly, pushing his might to the limit, even burning his own life. A stream of scorching, terrifying particles rained down on him. The Lightning Element chakra layer on his body, like an armor, was spinning wildly, trying to resist this onslaught.
But it was useless. The difference in power was too great!
Almost at the same instant, his chakra was completely exhausted, and his sturdy but fragile body was defenseless against the terrifying stream of particles that engulfed him.
The Shinobi who controlled the Electromagnetic Cannon of the Lightning Element evaporated the moment they came into contact with this stream, dying completely and irrevocably.
— GR-R-RA-A-AH!!!
A furious roar rang out. The two jinchuuriki, who served as a source of energy, sensed a deadly danger. The tailed Beasts inside them exploded with power, instantly putting their hosts into full release mode.
"BIG BROTHER!!! Killer B roared.
The moment the Raikage was engulfed by the light, he wrapped his giant arms around it and, desperately resisting, tried to retreat.
However, even if it wasn't the most powerful strike, but just an ordinary Explosion of a Supercharged Particle Beam, even it was unimaginably terrifying to them. Under the onslaught of this torrent, they could not budge.
Moreover, the moment they entered the full form of the Tailed One, their chakra cover collided with a stream of particles and began to disappear, as if it had been cut off layer by layer. The thick shell was melting before my eyes.
Finally, three seconds later, a bottomless chasm formed on the ground, the edges of which melted and turned into crystal. In the skies, Killer Bi and Yugito Nii, stripped of their Biju covers, were a terrifying sight. Their skin was almost completely burned off, and the flesh underneath was charred. Only the Tailed Ones inside them, desperately releasing their power, kept them alive.
As for the Raikage, even though Killer Bi managed to hug him at the last moment, it was already too late.
There was only one head left of him. A head that seemed to have been completely fried and exuded a fragrance that could make Hannibal salivate.
But what about their great hope, the invincible Electromagnetic Cannon of the Lightning Element?
She disappeared without a trace, as if she had never existed.
We lost. Completely and unconditionally!
No, they didn't lose. They really killed Uchiha Yue. But Uchiha Yue... was immortal!
At that moment, all the Shinobi froze, staring at this scene in shock.
How could this happen?
Why?
They killed Uchiha Yue three times. Three whole times!
If it was Izanagi, then he would have been completely dead by now. So why... why?
Why did everything turn out this way?
This shouldn't have happened. They even killed him for the fourth time! Uchiha Yue is not a god, he is a man! He must die too! So why didn't he die when he died?
Why?
Why is it like this?!
It's incomprehensible! This shouldn't be happening!
Such a terrifying weapon, such crushing power... how could she be destroyed in one blow?
Uchiha Yue's power... turned out to be so monstrous!
It took only a few minutes from triumph to total annihilation. The Shinobi's emotions raced like a roller coaster, leaving behind an incredible excitement mixed with a sense of loss, and maybe relief. Or perhaps it was the horror, the chilling awe, and the utter lack of understanding that echoed in their hearts.
They were relieved that Cloud Village had lost. If they had succeeded in killing Uchiha Yue, the rest of the villages would have become their slaves, ruthlessly exploited, forced to carry out missions with their last strength for only a meager fee, which would barely be enough to survive.
At the same time, they were filled with horror and awe that Uchiha Yue had not died, which completely destroyed their established worldview.
"People die when they are killed" was an immutable truth, a rule that everyone understood. Even resurrection required a huge price, sometimes even another life as payment. It had to be that way. Uchiha Yue should have been no exception.
Yes, of course, he was incredibly strong, but he remained a man, not a god. And humans are mortal. There was a way to kill him. Didn't Cloud Village create a superweapon capable of this?
They even killed him four times... but Uchiha Yue didn't die!
He's not dead!
This meant that all their previous guesses were wrong. Uchiha Yue had more than one life, but much more. Maybe infinitely many. It wasn't difficult to kill him, but when death itself ceases to be death, how can you destroy him?
Admittedly, they hadn't been in a hurry up to that point, and their initial desire to unite had crumbled to dust, replaced by an "every man for himself" tactic. It was because they were confident that they could defeat Uchiha Yue and capture his eyes.…
But what now? Even if they beat him, so what? They can never make a mistake. And Uchiha Yue…
...can make mistakes countless times! He can die countless times!
— How is this possible? How could there be another such monster in this world?
Rasa backed away and collapsed to the ground with an expression of utter confusion and disbelief on his face. If Uchiha Yue can't die, then what's the point of their village improving and developing their puppets, even if they achieve the power of the Electromagnetic Cannon of the Lightning Element? What's the point?
Oh, Kami-sama!
Maybe they're all in genjutsu? Maybe it's just a nightmare? Why did such a monster appear in this world at all?
"Konoha... KONOHA!"!!
— SARUTOBI HIRUZEN, SHIMURA DANZO!!! YES, I LOVE YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!!!
In the distance, Onoki fell to his knees and roared in agony. It seemed that everyone had already started to forget that Konoha was the root cause of everything that was happening. After all, at that moment, their minds were occupied with only one thought — how to get Uchiha Yue's power. One could even say that Uchiha Yue's appearance was both a disaster and an incomparable stroke of luck, because…
