He stared intently at Xingliu, trying to glean some clue from the other's eyes: "You...knew we would do this all along?"
Xingliu smiled slightly, his smile carrying a hint of unfathomable meaning.
He shook his head slightly, his tone indifferent: "How could I possibly know in advance? I was just doing this as a precaution."
His calm and composed demeanor created an invisible pressure on everyone present.
Onoki took a deep breath and proposed in a low voice:
"This incident was instigated by your Konoha, so we can let it go for now. But from now on, let's go our separate ways and not interfere with each other, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Xingliu suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the air, growing louder and louder.
Onoki felt that his dignity had been ruthlessly trampled.
His face was ashen, his fists clenched, and he was burning with rage. He glared at Xingliu and roared, word by word:
"Kid, you really think we're afraid of you? There are so many of us. If we join forces, you might not come out on top!"
However, as soon as Onoki finished speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted.
An irresistible force suddenly descended, binding him firmly to the spot.
He tried to struggle, but the force was like chains from the abyss, binding him tightly and rendering him unable to move.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp sound of shattering mirrors rang out around him.
The sound was shrill and piercing, sending chills down his spine. He looked down and was horrified to find that his body had shattered into pieces like a mirror.
The air around them seemed to freeze; everyone held their breath, staring intently at the scene.
Onoki stared in horror at everything that was happening to him, his heart filled with doubt and confusion.
He didn't know why he had become like this, nor did he know what would happen next.
At this moment, Xingliu also stopped smiling. He looked at the terrified Onoki with a mocking expression and slowly spoke:
"The space around you has already shattered into pieces, but it hasn't completely broken down yet."
His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.
However, these simple words struck Onoki's heart like a heavy hammer, sending a chill of despair through him.
"This... how is this possible?" Onoki said in a trembling voice, unable to believe that space could be manipulated so easily.
Xingliu smiled faintly, not answering his question, but slowly raising his right hand, palm facing up.
An invisible force gathered in his palm, forming a rotating vortex.
"What...what are you going to do?" Onoki asked in terror, feeling the invisible force constantly devouring the space around him.
Xingliu didn't answer, but just looked at him indifferently, as if he were looking at a passerby who was about to disappear.
Suddenly, that invisible force erupted violently, and Onoki only had time to let out a scream before he was completely swallowed up in the swirling vortex.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze at that moment, and time seemed to stand still.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene, as if they couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.
Onoki, one of the top figures among the Four Kage, disappeared without a trace in such a short time.
Xingliu gently withdrew his right hand, and the swirling vortex vanished as if it had never existed.
He looked around, his gaze sweeping across everyone's face as if examining their hearts.
"Since you have chosen to be my enemies, you should be prepared to die."
His voice was calm and indifferent, as if he were stating something utterly ordinary:
"Those of you present just now didn't intend to let Konoha go, so you should have been prepared for that, right?"
The surrounding air was deathly still; no one dared to make a sound, and even breathing became a cautious affair.
Xingliu's gaze was like a sharp sword, making everyone feel an invisible pressure.
"You can choose to submit, or you can choose to die."
Xingliu said calmly, as if stating a fact, "But no matter which choice you make, you must pay the price for your actions."
"Uchiha Seiryu, don't be so arrogant!"
Finally, someone couldn't help but speak up. It was a burly man with a fierce face, wearing the headband of Iwakage Village.
He glared at Xingliu, his eyes wide with malice. "Do you think you can take on all of us by yourself?"
After saying that, the man roared and his body instantly erupted with a powerful burst of chakra.
"Earth Release·Earth Dragon Bullet!"
Xingliu slightly turned his body and easily dodged his attack.
He stretched out his palm and gently pushed, and an invisible force sent him flying.
His body traced a long arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
He struggled to stand up, but the force prevented him from moving.
"Is this all the strength you have?" Xingliu said calmly. "If this is all you've got, then none of you will leave here alive today."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of whooshing sounds suddenly filled the air around him.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of figures rushed out from all directions, surrounding Xingliu.
"Uchiha Seiryu, you are doomed to die today!" Yagura's voice rang out from the crowd. "There are so many of us, we refuse to believe we can't defeat you alone!"
Xingliu glanced at the crowd around him, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever.
Instead, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Do you really think that having more people is useful?"
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, a powerful aura instantly erupted from his body, and the Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Let me show you what true power is."
As he finished speaking, a powerful sense of oppression instantly enveloped everyone present.
They felt as if their bodies were tightly bound by an invisible force, unable to move an inch.
Now they understood why Onoki hadn't run away earlier.
The next moment, the scene before them suddenly changed, and they found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
"Roar!!!!"
Just then, a deafening roar rang out.
Everyone looked up and saw a huge Tailed Beast Ball that had taken shape and was hurtling towards them.
Their eyes widened, the last image in their minds being a gigantic tailed beast with ten tails.
The tailed beast stood at the center of the storm, surrounded by violent energy, like a world-destroying divine beast.
Then they were completely destroyed by endless energy and disappeared into the dust.
"I had just started to put on an act when you killed me all?"
Xingliu's voice revealed a hint of dissatisfaction as he controlled Susanoo to fiercely attack the Ten-Tails.
Chapter 166: Formal Declaration of War
Under the continuous attacks of Xingliu, the Ten-Tails let out a pitiful howl. It staggered away to a distance, staring at Xingliu with its big, aggrieved eyes, expressing its dissatisfaction and pain.
Its little head held a lot of questions.
Why does my master still attack me even though I helped him fight the enemy?
Xingliu glared at it, then sighed softly.
Since being captured by him three years ago, the Ten-Tails has become more and more like a domesticated pet.
Because of its enormous size and immature mind, he let it roam freely in his own space.
I was planning to put on a show this time, but I forgot there was a Ten-Tails here.
As a result, as soon as those enemies entered his space, they were covered in the face by the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Balls.
Although Xingliu had enough power to block the attack, he did not make a move, after all, these people were his enemies.
He had no need to shield the enemy from this attack.
Xingliu glanced at the Ten-Tails, whose head was drooping as if it felt guilty about its actions.
"Fine, I'll forgive you this time." Xingliu sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "But you can't do it again next time, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the Ten-Tails immediately raised its head, a hint of joy flashing in its eyes.
It let out a low growl, as if assuring Xingliu that it would not repeat the offense.
Xingliu smiled slightly, then reached out and gently stroked the massive body of the Ten-Tails.
After calming down the Ten-Tails, Xingliu left the space and returned to the Hokage's office.
At this moment, Mito Uzumaki and the others had arrived. When they saw Seiryu return, they all showed worried expressions.
"What just happened? How could there be such a powerful chakra fluctuation?" Mito Uzumaki asked anxiously.
Everyone else looked at Xingliu with curiosity, waiting for his explanation.
Seeing the anxious expressions on everyone's faces, Xingliu smiled slightly and then calmly recounted what had just happened.
He did not exaggerate or conceal any details; he simply recounted the events as they were.
Upon hearing that Xingliu had already killed all four Kage, Madara Uchiha's body suddenly trembled, and then he leaned back and burst into a wild laugh.
"Hashirama, did you hear that? In the end, I won!"
He proclaimed loudly, his face full of a triumphant smile, as if this victory was his long-cherished wish.
"The Fifth Hokage's thoughts are closer to mine than yours!"
Madara Uchiha's eyes flashed with a provocative light as he stared intently at Hashirama Senju, awaiting his response.
For Madara Uchiha, this statement was not just a simple declaration of victory, but also a summary of his decades-long entanglement with Hashirama Senju.
Since they met, the two have been in a state of competition and rivalry, constantly clashing in terms of both strength and ideas.
At this moment, Madara Uchiha felt that he had finally gained the upper hand in this long battle.
