Ōnoki stared at Shin's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his already grim expression darkening.
"Mangekyō Sharingan..."
He gritted his teeth.
He had a deep-seated fear of the Mangekyō Sharingan. When he was younger, he had accompanied his teacher, Mū, to Konoha for a diplomatic mission, hoping to form an alliance.
But they had encountered Uchiha Madara, who humiliated and injured them.
Shin looked at Ōnoki, not bothering to explain.
There was no need to explain the difference between the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to an enemy.
"Ōnoki, remember the fear of being dominated by these eyes?"
Shin asked with a smirk, deliberately poking at Ōnoki's sore spot.
Ōnoki's eyes flickered nervously. He couldn't meet Shin's gaze.
"Wow, the great Tsuchikage is too scared to even look at me."
Ōnoki was about to explode. Who didn't know how powerful the Sharingan's Genjutsu was? Only an idiot would look into his eyes.
"Ōnoki, don't tell me Madara traumatized you," Shin said.
"H-How did you know?" Ōnoki was shocked. Few knew about his encounter with Madara.
He had only been a teenager then, and Shin hadn't even been born yet. How could he know?
"That's not important. What is important is that sneak attacks are a bad habit."
Shin glanced behind him and kicked Rōshi, who had been trying to attack him, sending him flying.
Trying to sneak up on him while he was talking to Ōnoki? Rōshi was underestimating him.
"I thought you didn't notice."
Kushina and Mikoto arrived. They had seen Rōshi's attempted sneak attack and rushed over to warn Shin.
But Shin had already dealt with Rōshi.
"Kushina, Mikoto, have you forgotten I have the Mind's Eye of Kagura? It's impossible to sneak up on me."
Ōnoki's eyes gleamed as he saw Kushina and Mikoto. Shin might be strong, but his companions weren't.
"Earth Release: Rock Fist Jutsu!"
He didn't use Dust Release. He was hesitant after his previous failure.
Dust Release consumed a lot of Chakra, and he didn't know how Shin had neutralized it.
His target wasn't Shin, but Kushina.
Kushina looked at the approaching Ōnoki, eager to fight. But Shin stopped her.
"Kushina, you're not strong enough to fight him."
Kushina couldn't maintain Sage Mode for long. She might be able to match Ōnoki in Sage Mode, but without it, she was no match for a Kage at the peak of his power.
"Genjutsu: Tsukuyomi."
Ōnoki collapsed. In the real world, it was just an instant, but in the Genjutsu world, three days had passed.
After taking down Ōnoki with a single Genjutsu, Shin turned his attention to Rōshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki. Rōshi was covered in Lava Release Chakra Mode, similar to the Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
With his body encased in lava, he could melt anything he touched. He was a tough opponent.
As a Jinchūriki, Rōshi was strong, but he was no match for Shin.
"You took down the Tsuchikage. Can I deal with this guy?" Kushina asked Shin.
"It's not that I don't want you to, but you can't defeat him," Shin said helplessly.
"Kushina, know your limits. You're clearly not strong enough," Mikoto said.
"Fine."
Kushina reluctantly backed down.
"Ice Release: Ice Prison Jutsu!"
Shin trapped Rōshi in an ice prison. Even with his Lava Release, Rōshi couldn't melt it in a short time.
"Let's go destroy Iwa's supplies."
Shin ignored the unconscious Ōnoki and the trapped Rōshi and headed towards the Iwa supply depot.
"Shin, aren't you going to kill the old man?" Kushina asked.
"I think it's better for the Five Great Villages to maintain a balance of power. Let him live." Shin glanced at Ōnoki, then led Kushina and Mikoto to the supply depot.
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu!"
Mikoto unleashed a massive fire dragon, engulfing the supplies in flames. The explosive tags stored among the supplies detonated.
"I finally contributed something," Mikoto said with a smile.
She hadn't been able to do much in this attack.
[Congratulations, Master. Mission complete. Reward: Advanced Replication Card x1.]
The System's voice echoed in Shin's mind.
'System, can an Advanced Replication Card copy Dust Release?'
[No. Dust Release is a Kekkei Tōta and cannot be copied.]
Shin was disappointed. Dust Release was powerful. He couldn't copy it with an Advanced Replication Card.
Since the mission was complete, there was no need to stay here.
"Let's go back."
Shin opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal and left with Kushina and Mikoto.
...
As soon as they left, the Iwa Shinobi arrived, their eyes bloodshot at the sight of the destroyed supplies.
"Quick! Find the Tsuchikage!" Kitsuchi yelled, his voice filled with panic.
Their supplies had been destroyed. That meant his father, had been defeated.
"And leave some men to extinguish the flames! Salvage what you can!"
Kitsuchi rushed off to find Ōnoki.
He found Ōnoki unconscious, his mind damaged by Shin's Genjutsu. The Iwa Shinobi panicked and called for medics.
Rōshi, who had broken out of the ice prison with the help of other Iwa Shinobi, sighed, his expression grim.
"Rōshi, where's Uzumaki Shin?" Kitsuchi asked, his eyes red.
"He must have escaped," Rōshi said, clutching his injured leg.
He was trying to save face. Shin had simply left.
"Damn it! I'll kill him!" Kitsuchi yelled, rushing out. But he was stopped by other Iwa Shinobi.
Even their respected Tsuchikage wasn't a match for Shin. Kitsuchi would be no different.
