"You have been high and mighty for far too long—so long that you take it for granted that everyone must live according to your rules."
"Then you harvest us, enslave us, and turn us into playthings within your regulatory system."
Mori Shiraishi's crimson eyes peered through the gaps in his fingers. His expression gradually twisted as he let out a hysterical roar. "In that case, let me smash all the rules of this world to pieces!"
A terrifying aura of destruction erupted from Mori Shiraishi. Even Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but be jolted by it, his face displaying an incredibly solemn expression. He shifted his hand to lift his forehead protector without hesitation, revealing the eye pierced by a vertical scar. The red orb snapped open, three black tomoe spinning slowly within.
Has the Captain already activated the Sharingan?
Kakashi's move served as a clear warning to the other team members. As a genius of the Hidden Leaf, Kakashi's strength was undeniable, and the Sharingan gifted to him by a friend was one of his ultimate trump cards. Kakashi would never activate it lightly unless he faced a sufficiently powerful enemy. Opening the Sharingan immediately served as secondary proof of their opponent's current strength.
Mori Shiraishi finally stopped suppressing the division and riot of the Kagune within him. When the Hidden Leaf ninjas appeared and spoke those cold, arrogant words, the fire of rage in his heart for this world could no longer be contained. He had never understood his own future as clearly as he did now.
Even if it meant death, turning into a monster, or becoming a complete believer in Jashin, there was only one thing he had to do: use every cruel method possible to destroy this world! To be more precise, he wanted to destroy the order of this world.
The highest-concentration RC Cell carrier in all of Simu's experiments to date had completely gone berserk. Every Kagune on his body that had previously been dormant suddenly regained vitality. His skin's surface began to boil. Following this, the Kagune began to frantically drain life energy from Mori Shiraishi, initiating a period of wild growth.
"Stop him."
Kakashi made a decisive call as surging lightning instantly left his hand.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang!"
Blue lightning condensed in the air into a roaring wolf king, lunging forward to tear into the enemy. Unfortunately, before the lightning wolf could reach its halfway point, a red light flashed. A single Rinkaku easily shredded the attack.
The other Hidden Leaf ninjas reacted with equal speed, throwing various ninja tools at Mori Shiraishi as if they cost nothing. However, Mori Shiraishi's berserk transformation was faster than they imagined!
After countless Koukaku covered him, his entire body expanded rapidly. His lower half transformed into a thick, centipede-like torso. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he soared directly into the sky.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The Hidden Leaf group quickly backed away to maintain distance. Their elite combat training allowed them to keep a steady formation without panicking. Still, the monster before them caused significant psychological shock. It was simply too large!
"He was just a kid a moment ago, and now he's suddenly dozens of meters tall? This is too exaggerated," said Yugao Uzuki, a member of Kakashi's team, finding it hard to accept.
A drop of cold sweat also rolled down the forehead of her boyfriend, Hayate Gekko. "Be careful. Regardless of the situation, we have to take this big guy down."
Even a genius like Kakashi felt a rare surge of tension. He fixed his Sharingan firmly on the enemy. At this moment, Mori Shiraishi had once again fallen completely into darkness.
His entire body was covered in a hard exoskeleton. His hands had transformed into two sharp Kagune blades. An dark red mask covered his face, leaving only a single crimson eye exposed. Two massive fleshy wings grew from his back, with countless Rinkaku dancing like tentacles between them.
"Feel the pain..."
Mori Shiraishi's terrifying killing intent blanketed the entire village. Utilizing the Sharingan's powerful observational capabilities, Kakashi predicted the opponent's movements in advance.
"Scatter! The attack is coming!"
Sure enough, a second after Kakashi spoke, countless Rinkaku fell from the sky like a rainstorm.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Dense, thunderous explosions rang out consecutively. Every single strike from these tentacles easily demolished a house.
"Perish!"
"Perish!"
"Why should we be the ones to die?"
"Sakamoto, the Hidden Steam Ninja, the Hidden Leaf... even the entire world... all of you... perish!"
In this moment, Mori Shiraishi's soul fell completely into the darkness in exchange for the ultimate power! Countless tentacles, combined with his dragon-like centipede body, rampaged through the village. Not only the Hidden Leaf ninjas and village civilians, but even Ghouls who couldn't dodge in time were crushed by him. He had surrendered entirely to a berserk state, handing his body over to the instinct of slaughter!
In a cellar, a mother hugged her child, praying continuously to the statue in her hands. In the ruins, a Ghoul with a broken body screamed in agony. In the castle, surviving nobles looked at bloody patterns and began to chant. Death and fear spread and sprawled through the village.
"Restrain this guy and create an opening for me."
Kakashi barked orders at the other team members while dodging flying debris and Rinkaku attacks.
"Understood!"
"Earth Style: Earth Movement Core!"
A Hidden Leaf Jonin wove signs rapidly, infusing a massive amount of chakra into the ground. The earth beneath the rampaging Mori Shiraishi suddenly collapsed, forming a massive square crater that trapped his huge body.
Immediately after, another Hidden Leaf Jonin followed up the assault.
"Water Style: Giant Waterfall Jutsu!"
A surging torrent of water washed over the area instantly. Using the immense pressure formed by the water, they pinned a large portion of Mori Shiraishi's body down into the pool. Kakashi appeared at the edge of the water pool in an instant.
"Lightning Style: Web Spider!"
Countless electrical currents bloomed from Kakashi's palm, spreading across the water's surface like a spiderweb to envelop Mori Shiraishi. The terrifying current stimulated Mori Shiraishi's body, forcing him into a temporary state of paralysis.
Hayate Gekko appeared quickly beside Kakashi. He threw a shuriken and immediately wove signs.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
The single shuriken multiplied into hundreds in mid-air, blanketing Mori Shiraishi's body like rain. Unfortunately, these ordinary shuriken were useless against Koukaku. Mori Shiraishi simply endured the paralysis from the lightning and raised his arm to block his body.
But that was exactly the effect Kakashi wanted.
His Sharingan was locked onto the scene. The moment Mori Shiraishi raised his arm, the "Kakashi" currently releasing the Lightning Style vanished into smoke. Another figure burst out from the water beneath Mori Shiraishi.
It was the real Kakashi! This was the killing blow he had prepared.
"Chidori!"
An even more violent surge of lightning erupted from Kakashi's hand. Under the precise guidance of the Sharingan, before Mori Shiraishi could react, the swift lightning flash severed his head!
