Boom.

Accompanied by a loud noise, an entire mountain collapsed!

In the billowing dust, a figure charged straight ahead, ignoring the flying gravel and collapsing rock walls, smashing directly through them. The hard rocks were as fragile as tofu in front of him.

Watching the figure speeding towards her, Long Tongue sighed faintly, "Is this the end?"

Undoubtedly, the figure attacking Long Tongue was the Fourth Raikage, controlled by the Fear Overlord.

After abandoning Node 8, Long Tongue and Chino used themselves as bait to lure the Fourth Raikage, who had attacked Node 8, into pursuit.

However, among all the members guarding the nodes, they were the weakest, and the Fourth Raikage who attacked Node 8 was the best among all the puppet ninjas whose minds had been corrupted by the Fear Overlord, so the difference in combat power between the two sides was extremely large.

Therefore, Chino was soon severely injured by the Fourth Raikage and fell unconscious.

The remaining Long Tongue had to use the complex terrain of the mountainous area to barely deal with the Fourth Raikage, trying to delay as much time as possible.

The Fourth Raikage quickly lost his patience, using his terrifying physical strength to smash the mountains along the way one by one, forcing Long Tongue, who was using the complex terrain to deal with him, into a desperate situation!

"Hmph!"

Seeing the desperate look on Long Tongue's face, the Fourth Raikage, surrounded by dark purple mist, revealed a fierce killing intent on his face.

Whoosh.

Just as the Fourth Raikage's fist was about to hit Long Tongue, a figure suddenly stood in front of Long Tongue, meeting the Fourth Raikage with a punch.

Rumble!

The two fists collided, instantly erupting into a deafening roar, setting off a tangible shock wave that instantly cleared the surrounding billowing dust.

Long Tongue was stunned for a moment: "You guys."

Neji said, "Sorry, we're late!"

Obviously, it was Neji and Kimimaro, who were originally guarding Node 9, who saved Long Tongue at the critical moment.

After combining, their strength broke through to the level of 'Bloodline Encirclement'. Puppet ninjas controlled by the Fear Overlord generally posed no threat to them in their combined state. Therefore, after clearing all the enemies near Node 9, they rushed to support Long Tongue and Chino under the guidance of the communications team.

The Fourth Raikage, who was knocked back, lowered his head and looked at his arm.

The right arm that had exchanged punches with Kimimaro was now twisted into a pretzel shape. This was because he was in 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode' and had obtained the power of the Fear Overlord. Otherwise, the price he paid would have been more than just this.

Seeing this, Long Tongue quickly said to Neji and Kimimaro, "Be careful, he's very strong!"

In the next instant, Neji and Kimimaro appeared behind the Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage looked surprised, and then a diagonal crack appeared on his burly body. As the crack extended, his body broke into two pieces and fell to the ground dejectedly.

The Fourth Raikage, who had obtained the power of the Fear Overlord, was indeed very strong. In terms of basic aspects such as speed and strength, he could already be compared to the 'Six Paths Level', so he could easily crush Long Tongue and Chino, who had lost the environmental amplification.

But facing Neji and Kimimaro, who had released Momoshiki and Kinshiki's two 'Karma' and entered the combined state, he was not enough to watch.

So, after Neji and Kimimaro launched Kinshiki's signature move 'Divine Expulsion', they instantly solved this big trouble.

Long Tongue looked dazed: "This."

After confirming that the Fourth Raikage had been dealt with, Neji and Kimimaro came to Long Tongue: "How's Chino? Is she okay?"

"She's injured, but she should be fine." After regaining her senses, Long Tongue asked, "How did you find me? What about your node?"

Neji said, "The communications team guided us. As for the node we're guarding, there's no problem at the moment."

Long Tongue breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you!"

Neji said, "It's good that you're okay."

Long Tongue looked ashamed: "I'm sorry, our node was lost. By the way, how is everyone else?"

Neji shook his head, his face full of worry.

At this time, Momoshiki said, "Hey, do you have time to spare? If you don't want to die, get moving as soon as possible!"

Reminded by Momoshiki, Neji quickly said to Long Tongue, "Take care of yourselves, we have to go and support other places."

Long Tongue nodded heavily: "Please be careful!"

On the other side.

Under the guidance of the communications team, Bai also received Yakumo, whose body was being controlled by Ido.

Landing on the ground, Ido, who was controlling Yakumo's body, pointed to the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi and other large groups of puppet ninjas controlled by the Fear Overlord who were chasing her behind him: "Bai, hurry up and lend a hand, help me get rid of these bastards!"

Bai saw that Ido was controlling Yakumo's body and asked, "Is Yakumo injured?"

Ido nodded: "The Mizukage's bloodline limit is somewhat restrained by our Red Dragon Eye. She destroyed the blood pool, causing us to lose the environmental amplification. Yakumo refused to retreat, almost killing the two of us in Hell Valley!"

Bai understood Yakumo and Ido's encounter, then exhaled lightly, drawing his sword and walking towards the approaching Mei Terumi and other puppet ninjas, while activating 'Sage Mode' again.

On a cliff.

Shinji, sitting on the edge of the cliff, slowly stood up. He looked at the dim sky in the distance, as well as the dark purple mist that penetrated the space barrier and fell into the ninja world, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"These guys."

His expression was particularly relaxed, as if the doomsday scene in front of him did not exist.

In his expectation, even with the 'Barrier Plan', even with the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi', even with various backhands laid out, the situation should be worse.

But he didn't expect his partners to be so helpful, that they didn't even need him to take action to eliminate 'Otsutsuki Shibai' and most of the puppet ninjas whose minds had been corrupted by the Fear Overlord.

"If you guys do this, if I drop the ball, wouldn't I be letting everyone down!"

After chuckling, Shinji looked at the sky above his head.

He had not taken action all along, not because he was afraid of fighting, but because he was waiting for the right opportunity, because his enemy from beginning to end was only one, that was the Fear Overlord himself.

Repelling the Fear Overlord was not his real purpose, because that would not guarantee the long-term peace of the ninja world. Everything he did was only for one purpose, that was to consume the Fear Overlord as much as possible, and then completely eliminate the Fear Overlord.

Whoosh.

Without hesitation, without hesitation, Shinji soared into the air, then turned into a golden light and went upstream, pierced through the space barrier of the ninja world, and rushed into the deep universe.
