<div>
<div>
Shin looked at the Third Kazekage, whose eyes were bloodshot with hatred.
<div>
<div>
''It''s just a camp. Is it really that big of a deal?''
<div>
<div>
If the Kazekage knew what Shin was thinking, he might explode.
<div>
<div>
Actually, he was already about to explode.
<div>
<div>
Shin looked at Shukaku, who was still under his control.
<div>
<div>
"Go take care of that four-legged fish."
<div>
<div>
Shin directed Shukaku towards the salamander.
<div>
<div>
With a single swipe of its tail, the One-Tail sent the salamander flying, breaking its legs.
<div>
<div>
Hanzō winced and dispelled his summon.
<div>
<div>
"Shukaku, crush them! Don''t forget, they''re the Suna bastards you hate so much!" Shin yelled.
<div>
<div>
The One-Tail stomped towards Chiyo and Ebizo, who narrowly escaped with the Body Flicker Jutsu.
<div>
<div>
"Wind Style: Wind Cutter!"
<div>
<div>
Ebizo, after dodging the One-Tail''s attack, launched a wind blade at Shin.
<div>
<div>
"That won''t work."
<div>
<div>
Shin activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. A dark crack appeared before him, swallowing the wind blade.
<div>
<div>
He had used Yomotsu Hirasaka to send the attack to another dimension.
<div>
<div>
If Kaguya ōtsutsuki hadn''t been so stupid, she could have been invincible with just Yomotsu Hirasaka.
<div>
<div>
But Shin''s Yomotsu Hirasaka was probably different from Kaguya''s. It consumed less Chakra and ocular power.
<div>
<div>
"What was that?"
<div>
<div>
Ebizo''s eyes widened. He hadn''t seen Shin form any hand seals. That black crack had simply appeared and swallowed his attack.
<div>
<div>
But he soon realized it wasn''t just a simple absorption.
<div>
<div>
Another black crack appeared behind him, and the wind blade emerged from it.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
<div>
<div>
"Look out!"
<div>
<div>
Chiyo sensed the danger and pulled Ebizo out of the way.
<div>
<div>
The wind blade grazed Ebizo''s chest. He looked down at the wound, his face pale.
<div>
<div>
It was only a few centimeters from his heart. He would have been killed if it weren''t for Chiyo.
<div>
<div>
"Too bad. I almost killed a Kage-level Shinobi."
<div>
<div>
Shin shook his head in mock disappointment.
<div>
<div>
Ebizo might only be a low-Kage, but he was still a Kage. Killing him would have been a significant achievement.
<div>
<div>
But Chiyo had ruined it. Ebizo might have survived, but he was severely injured.
<div>
<div>
"Brother, are you alright?" Chiyo glared at Shin, then turned to Ebizo with concern.
<div>
<div>
"I''m fine."
<div>
<div>
Ebizo''s pale face betrayed his words.
<div>
<div>
"Watch out for that technique," the Third Kazekage warned Hanzō.
<div>
<div>
He was also feeling a chill. If Shin used that technique on him, he might not be able to dodge.
<div>
<div>
Hanzō didn''t reply, but he was on high alert, wary of any attacks from behind.
<div>
<div>
He didn''t know what that technique was, but that made it even more terrifying.
<div>
<div>
"Your eyes... Is that the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
<div>
<div>
Chiyo asked, her voice filled with disbelief.
<div>
<div>
The Kazekage and Hanzō immediately focused on Shin''s eyes. Hanzō''s expression turned grim.
<div>
<div>
He had seen Madara Uchiha''s Mangekyō Sharingan before. The pattern was different, but he recognized it.
<div>
<div>
The Kazekage was too young to recognize it, but he had heard of its power.
<div>
<div>
"It''s not the Mangekyō Sharingan," Shin said calmly.
<div>
<div>
It was the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, but few knew of its existence.
<div>
<div>
Even Tsunade didn''t know about it.
<div>
<div>
"Retreat!"
<div>
<div>
Chiyo didn''t believe Shin. She grabbed the injured Ebizo and fled.
<div>
<div>
She was fast, but Hanzō was even faster!
<div>
<div>
The Kazekage, seeing them flee, had no choice but to follow. He was no match for Shin.
<div>
<div>
And there was also the One-Tail.
<div>
<div>
"Damn it! I wasn''t even serious, and you''re running?!"
<div>
<div>
Shin stared at the fleeing Kage, dumbfounded. He hadn''t even attacked yet.
<div>
<div>
"Come back! You left your dignity behind! Don''t you want it back?" Shin yelled after them.
<div>
<div>
But they were already gone. Shin sighed and decided not to pursue.
<div>
<div>
He had to get back for Mikoto''s dinner.
<div>
<div>
He climbed onto the One-Tail''s head and directed it back to the Konoha camp.
<div>
<div>
He had let them escape because he didn''t want to kill them. If they died, Konoha might actually destroy Suna.
<div>
<div>
Shin didn''t want that.
<div>
<div>
Konoha needed external enemies. Without them, internal conflicts would arise, and he might get caught in the crossfire.
<div>
<div>
His strength was a threat to Hiruzen''s position. Shin wasn''t interested in becoming Hokage, but he didn''t want to disrupt the balance of power.
<div>
<div>
The Third Kazekage and the others ran for a long time before finally stopping. Seeing that Shin wasn''t pursuing them, they sighed in relief.
<div>
<div>
"I know the Mangekyō Sharingan is powerful, but did we really have to run like that?" the Kazekage grumbled.
<div>
<div>
He hadn''t wanted to retreat, but Chiyo and Hanzō had fled. He was no match for Shin alone.
<div>
<div>
And there was also the One-Tail..
