"Atsukara, Sun Wukong!"
Genya's words exploded in the silent surroundings. Everyone looked at him with confusion, shock, and disbelief.
Hinata Hyuga was bewildered. She didn't understand why Genya would say something like that.
"Atsukara, Sun Wukong? What does that even mean?"
Still so innocent, her Byakugan-filled eyes carried admiration.
"Atsukara, Sun Wukong… Genya is also a member of the Atsukara Organization!" Shino Aburame looked at Genya, equally astonished.
Back in the day, the elders of their clan had told them about the Atsukara Organization. Every member was a top-tier ninja, but no one expected that Genya would also be part of it.
And his strength had already reached the pinnacle of the world.
"Atsukara…"
Even Kurenai, Hideki, and nearby Darui all focused their gaze on Genya, their shock impossible to hide.
Recently, the ninja world had been buzzing with rumors about the Atsukara Organization. Almost everyone wanted to uncover its secrets.
The organization had very few active members traveling outside.
One was Wood Release user Wood Ox, and another was Phantom Tiger, a master of illusions and space ninjutsu.
These two alone had already made a remarkable name for themselves in the ninja world, and many predicted their strength had reached top-level Kage rank.
And now, there was a new member: Sun Wukong?
Even now, after observing Genya's battles, no one could pinpoint his ultimate abilities.
He seemed capable of almost everything.
"Killer B!" Darui glared at the restrained Killer B, wanting desperately to charge forward and fight Genya to the death.
But he was stopped once again by Hideki.
The situation now was even worse than before. If Darui rushed in, he would be walking straight to his death, with no chance of survival. Genya was far too strong.
"How are you so strong?" The restrained Gyuki glared at Genya with defiance, clearly unwilling to accept it.
"I'm not strong… I'm too weak." Genya smiled calmly.
"." Killer B said.
"." The Eight-Tails, Gyūki, responded.
They wanted to argue, but had no words to say.
Indeed, Genya could easily subdue them now, and it was clear that he hadn't even used his full strength.
The black flames quickly absorbed chakra from the Eight-Tails. Gyūki's expression grew weaker and weaker, and as time passed, its chakra was almost completely drained.
"We admit defeat. Do whatever punishment you want!" Killer B finally spoke helplessly, left with no choice but to surrender.
Even if the black rods that bound them were removed, they no longer had the strength to continue fighting. This time, they were completely defeated. The person before them was far too strong—he didn't feel like a shinobi at all, but like a god, a true god.
Facing Genya now, the Eight-Tails felt the same helplessness as standing before the Sage of Six Paths.
At this moment, restraining him would be effortless.
If this person decided to massacre Kumo Village, even the Raikage might not be able to stop him.
"Let's go, quickly back to Kumo!" Taking advantage of the moment Genya was talking to Killer B, Hideki pulled Darui and tried to leave.
Genya was far too strong. Someone needed to return and report this to the Raikage so he could prepare both strategically and mentally.
"I'm not leaving!" Darui glared, his eyes almost revealing the killing intent he felt toward Genya.
"Do you want our entire army wiped out?" Hideki whispered into Darui's ear, then pulled him back as they retreated.
For now, the Eight-Tails was holding Genya, and once he had the chance to free himself, no one present could escape.
Darui understood Hideki's intentions, so they left together, intending to return and report.
Genya only glanced at the two leaving, paying them no mind, and continued observing Killer B, his tone softening:
"You should know that Atsukara longs for peace and doesn't like fighting."
"Longs for peace?" Killer B's massive face showed a bitter smile. Those dozen or so ninja from the Land of Lightning had all died in an instant—now he realized it had been Genya who struck.
But killing someone without a blink—Genya's words were nothing but a lie.
"Don't believe me? I haven't killed you!" Genya said with a calm smile. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be alive right now.
Of course, there was a little thought behind Genya's actions. He didn't want to change the balance of the ninja world just yet, though soon it would need peace, not endless war.
"What do you want in return?" Killer B asked, staying cautious. If Genya hadn't killed him, that meant staying alive could serve a higher purpose for Genya.
"There aren't enough people right now. Let's add two more," Genya said, his eyes shifting toward the direction where Hideki and Darui had left.
His eyes narrowed.
Yo~~
They were running fast. In just a short while, they had already gone four kilometers, and they were still moving outward.
In the forest, two figures ran with almost all their strength. As they put distance between themselves and the battle, their faces showed a hint of excitement.
They had escaped. Even if Genya wanted to chase them, it would take some time.
"Darui, let's split up later. That way, the chance of returning to report is higher," Hideki said as he ran, speaking to Darui.
Still uneasy, he continued, "If I don't make it back, tell the Raikage—don't go after Genya. We can't handle him!"
Darui gritted his teeth but said nothing.
Just when hope seemed near, the area around them began to tremble. Black flames rose from the air, forming a mark.
"What is that?" Darui immediately stopped, staring at the mark with confusion. But in his heart, a chill had already settled.
This black flame—it was clearly Genya's ability!
"No way! Run, Uchiha Genya has locked onto us!" Hideki shouted. As he spoke, he pushed Darui toward another path, intending to draw Genya away and buy time for Darui.
"Oh? You still want to run?"
Just as the two tried to plan, a cold, clear voice rang out, stopping their movement.
The two of them froze, staring in disbelief toward the source of the voice.
There, where the flaming mark had appeared moments ago, stood a figure—none other than the feared Uchiha Genya, the demon in their eyes!
He had come after them!
This ability was one he had long sought to develop: a combination of Flying Thunder God and ocular power.
As long as his ocular power could affect the observed location, he could use it to create Flying Thunder God marks in midair.
Currently, the effective range was ten kilometers. Beyond that, his ocular power could no longer reach.
Perhaps once he awakened the Mangekyō, his ocular jutsu would grow even stronger, and the spatial ninjutsu he could wield would be more potent!
Genya looked at the two of them and spoke slowly, "Both of you will come with me. There are matters we need to discuss."
