Chapter 228: The Despair of the Wooden Man
Before she finished her words, her five fingers had already pierced into Kirabi's abdomen.
The eight-tailed gyuuki's chakra struggled wildly in her palm, and black tentacles burst out from the wound.
He tried to fight back, but was instantly suppressed by the aura at her fingertips.
"Don't waste your energy, little octopus." Yu Xi chuckled and pulled hard -
Kirabi fell heavily to the ground and became motionless.
"Roar--!"
Accompanied by an earth-shaking howl, the shadow of the eight-tailed cow demon was forcibly pulled out of Killer Bee's body.
Its huge body twisted in mid-air and its eight tentacles flapped wildly.
But he was imprisoned by an invisible force like a trapped beast.
Yu Xi pinched its throat with one hand, letting its roar stir up a strong wind: "You little pets, you never understand what 'obedience' means."
Yu Xi's cold face was reflected in the cow ghost's single eye, and he finally showed fear: "Yu Xi... you have obviously surpassed the Six Paths Sage, what is your purpose..."
"Don't worry about it." Yu Xi tilted her head, as if she heard a joke.
She casually stuffed the Niugui into the system space and turned to look at the Raikage who staggered to his feet from the ruins.
This powerful shadow-level warrior, who was known for his ferocity, was now covered in blood.
His right arm hung limply and his left eye was covered in blood and could not be opened.
But he still stared at her like a dying beast.
"Bastard... give Bi back to me!" The Raikage roared, and his lightning chakra burst out again, but this time, the lightning was as weak as a candle in the wind.
Yuxi sighed: "How stubborn."
The Raikage rushed forward with the last bit of his strength, and his fist, wrapped in a faint lightning, smashed into her chest—
boom!
This attack actually hit the target firmly.
The Raikage was stunned.
He looked up at Yuxi, but saw that she didn't even take a step back.
She just glanced down at the fist mark on her chest and said calmly, "Have you had enough fun?"
It turns out...she was too lazy to even hide.
Despair overwhelmed the Raikage like a tide.
He fell to his knees, a wild animal whimpering from his throat.
Yu Xi shook her head and casually chopped him on the back of the neck with her knife.
The Raikage groaned and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Lord Raikage!" The surviving Kumogakure ninja in the distance cried out.
It started to rain.
The rain slid down Yu Muren's cheeks, mixing with the blood, and leaving light red marks on her pale skin.
Her nails dug deep into the soil as she crawled an inch forward.
More blood gushed out of the wound in the abdomen, and in the rain it blossomed into shocking flowers.
She just wanted to know what Yuxi's real purpose was.
"Yu...Xi..." Yu Muren's voice was so weak that it was almost drowned out by the sound of rain.
Her trembling fingers finally touched Yuxi's ankle, "You are so powerful... The tailed beasts... have no effect on you at all!"
Yuxi looked down at the dying woman. The raindrops condensed into beads on her eyelashes, but they could not hide the coldness in her eyes.
She slowly pulled a small dried fish out of her system and took a small bite.
The chewing action was so elegant that it was in stark contrast to the bloodiness around it.
"The weak power of the tailed beasts is really useless to me." Yu Xi's voice was light, but it clearly penetrated the rain curtain, "But I want to unify the ninja world, I want all your villages to unite, and I want to launch the Fourth Ninja World War."
The wooden man's pupils suddenly contracted.
She felt her life was slipping away rapidly, her vision began to blur, and Yuxi's figure split into several shadows in her eyes.
The Fourth Great Ninja War...
Is this monster going to drag the whole world into hell?
"This world...maybe it's going to end..." Yukito's lips trembled, and his voice became weaker and weaker, "Or maybe...a new era will come..."
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she felt a cold hand pressing on her forehead.
A warm and unfamiliar power surged into the body, the torn organs began to heal, and the broken meridians reconnected.
You Mu Ren suddenly opened her eyes, and her gaze gradually became clear, falling on Yu Xi who was looking down at her.
"Why...?" You Mu Ren raised his head with difficulty, staring at Yu Xi, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat.
The rain dripped down the ends of her hair and mixed with the tears in the corners of her eyes.
Yuxi tilted her head slightly, as if she was a little surprised by Yu Muren's question, and then she said softly: "Just consider it as my good mood, kitten."
She slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked Yumuren's wet cheek, her movements as gentle as if she was stroking a frightened kitten.
The wooden man felt Yu Xi's touch and his body trembled involuntarily.
Her heart was full of contradictions and confusion.
Yuxi didn't seem to notice Yukito's reaction. She continued, "When your Raikage recovers from his injury, remember to initiate the Five Kage Conference."
After saying that, she slowly withdrew her hand
Finally it disappeared in the heavy rain.
The wooden man sat there in a daze, the rain hitting her body, but she didn't feel any coolness at all.
Her fingertips dug deep into her palms, but she felt no pain.
In the distance, Kirabi's body lay quietly in a pool of blood.
The rain washed over his face, washing away the blood but not the lifeless eyes.
Further away, the Raikage Ai collapsed to the ground, the faint rise and fall of his chest proving that he was still alive.
But the once high-spirited leader of Kumogakure now looked like a broken doll.
“Ugh…Aaaaaa——!”
The wooden man suddenly raised his head and let out a heart-wrenching cry.
The sound echoed in the rain like the howl of a wounded beast.
Tears mixed with rain rolled down her face, and she pounded the ground hard until her knuckles were bloody.
Why tease her like this?
Why give her hope and let her endure despair more painful than death?
"Yuxi...Yuxi..." She repeated the name over and over again, as if she wanted to chew it between her teeth.
She knew very well that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to defeat Yu Xi.
That kind of absolute power, that kind of arrogance that regards all things as ants.
That kind of... cruelty that is almost divine.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if the sky was crying for Yunyin.
Yumu Ren slowly walked to Kirabi and gently closed his wide-open eyes.
The guy who always made her happy with his lame rap has now turned into a cold corpse.
She ran trembling fingers over the horrific wound on Kirabi's abdomen.
That used to be the residence of the Eight-tailed Ushio-ki, but now all that's left is an empty bloody hole.
"B..." Her voice was so choked that it was almost inaudible, "What should I do..."
In the distance, the cries and hurried footsteps of the Kumogakure ninja could be heard, but Yukito felt that all the sounds were so far away.
She looked up in the direction where Yu Xi disappeared, and it seemed that she could still see that slender but terrifying figure in the rain.
