"Ha! Lord Hokage, I wonder how you're feeling now?"

Onoki taunted with a sneer.

At this moment, the five Kage were all trapped in the barrier of the Ninjutsu: Seven Heavens Breaching Array. Four of them were clearly on the same side.

"It's a shame; I had hoped for a one-on-one duel with you, but now that seems impossible."

The Fourth Raikage expressed regret.

"Drop it! This isn't a samurai duel; it's a ninja battle! To win, of course, any means necessary must be used!"

Rasa said with a sinister tone.

"Ninjutsu: Coral Palm!"

Yagura charged at the Fourth Hokage without hesitation.

"Rasengan!"

The Fourth Hokage countered directly.

"Boom!"

The coral was shattered, and Yagura was forced back several steps. His bleeding palm indicated he was at a disadvantage in the clash, but being manipulated, he seemed indifferent to his own injuries.

"I believe in my comrades, and they believe in me, so I will not fail!"

The Fourth Hokage said confidently, his eyes shining, unfazed by being outnumbered.

Outside the barrier--

"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Shisui unleashed a fire dragon from his mouth.

"Ice Release: Icy Reflection Wall!"

Haku countered with a solid ice wall, resisting the fire dragon's assault.

"To withstand my high-level fire..."

Shisui furrowed his brow.

"Be cautious, Shisui. The Chakra within them is extraordinary!"

Fugaku, with Sharingan activated, stared intently at Kimimaro. Both exhibited formidable Senjutsu Chakra.

"Tailed Beast Bomb!"

The One-Tail launched a massive Wind Style cannon, sending a swath of Konoha shinobi flying.

"Damn it..."

"Human strength can't withstand a Tailed Beast; we need the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki!"

Hiashi said gravely.

"Police forces have been dispatched to fetch Kushina. Let's hold on."

Shikaku looked concerned. Kushina should have already arrived; was there an incident with the police force?

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Jiraiya summoned Gamabunta and attacked the One-Tail.

"Boom!"

The One-Tail used its thick tail to block Gamabunta's sword.

"Haha! Found someone who wants to die!"

The One-Tail repelled Gamabunta with a Tailed Beast Bomb.

"Ah~ Even I can't hold it off for long."

Gamabunta retaliated with a Water Release attack.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Though Gamabunta of Mount Myōboku is powerful, he is no match for a Tailed Beast and can only play a containment role at best.

"Please, Gamabunta, buy me some time!"

Jiraiya began to gather Chakra to enter Sage Mode.

Suddenly, a massive space-time vortex appeared above Konoha, from which members of the Akatsuki: Nagato, Kakuzu, Sasori, Orochimaru, Deidara, and Hidan descended, dressed in their iconic red cloud-adorned black robes.

"From now on, let Konoha experience true pain."

Nagato's chilling declaration echoed throughout the venue, eliciting fear from many in the crowd who recognized the Akatsuki members.

"Wow~"

In the past, Konoha and the Akatsuki organization had waged a six-year war.

They were all too aware of the power that Akatsuki wielded!

"Summoning Technique!"

Right off the bat, Nagato utilized the power of the Animal Path.

A menagerie of summoning beasts including hell crabs, chameleons, split dogs, Yatagarasu, rhinoceroses, bulls, pandas, and centipedes were called forth in a single action!

"The lost heart, I shall replenish it from here!"

Kakuzu, with his Heart Stealing technique, captured Konoha shinobi to seize their hearts.

"Puppets are everywhere."

Sasori manipulated Konoha shinobi with his Chakra threads, forcing them to turn on each other.

"What is art? Can anyone tell me? Hmm~"

Deidara scattered his explosive clay, causing chaos and destruction.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

"As long as it kills, it's perfect!"

Hidan, in a frenzy, swung his scythe, slicing through the shinobi of Konoha.

"Let's go!"

Orochimaru, commanding an army of summoned snakes, spread terror.

"Everything that should be here is here; it's quite the spectacle~"

Yuki sat calmly in the audience by himself.

Observing the chaos and combat with grace, not in the least bit hurried.

It was just a warm-up; the real show had yet to begin.

"Unexpectedly, Sasori really did join the Akatsuki."

Chiyo watched her grandson from afar.

Despite having much to say, in the heat of battle, there was no time for distractions.

"Secret Red Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets!"

This was her ultimate technique, controlling ten intricately crafted puppets simultaneously.

"Insect Swarm!"

Shino directed a massive swarm of insects to devour the opponent's Chakra threads.

But against someone as experienced as Chiyo, three puppets were quickly deployed to perform a combo.

"Sealing Technique: Gathering of the Three Treasures!"

With a powerful sealing technique, she absorbed the massive swarm of insects.

"Dammit! Take this, Twin Fangs Over Fang!"

Kiba's two-headed wolf charged, but Chiyo's puppet countered with a poisoned Chakra sword and struck down.

"Gentle Fist Technique: Palm Rotation!"

Just in time, Hiashi arrived, employing the Palm Rotation for defense, deflecting surrounding puppets.

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Hiashi aimed at Chiyo but she evaded.

"Shadow Imitation Technique!"

Shikaku successfully captured Chiyo.

"Now's our chance, Multi-Size Technique!"

Chōji attempted to land a punch but was thwarted.

"Lava Style: Lava Release Armour!"

Chiyo countered, her body erupting in molten lava, burning Chōji's fist.

"Mind Body Switch Technique!"

Inoichi attacked from behind, attempting to take over Chiyo's mind.

However, Chiyo forcefully expelled Inoichi's consciousness after just two seconds.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, Chiyo's body began to swell, transforming into the Four-Tails!

"Another Tailed Beast? How can this be?"

Konoha was in shock.

"Where's our Nine-Tails? Where is it?"
