"Are they scared?" Kushina asked, noticing the Iwa Shinobi backing away nervously.

"Probably. They're so pathetic." Shin scoffed. He had only used a few Jutsu, and they were already scared. He wondered what would happen if he used the Perfect Susanoo.

"They're not attacking. Let's take the initiative."

....

Shin drew his Kusanagi sword and used the Body Flicker Jutsu to approach the Iwa Shinobi. Within moments, he was among them.

"Kill him!"

An Iwa J?nin charged at Shin.

"Gale Slash!"

Shin enhanced his sword with Wind Release Chakra and slashed at the J?nin.

The attack was swift, precise, and deadly.

The J?nin was killed instantly, and a wind blade shot out from the sword, killing another Iwa Shinobi.

Shin, wielding his Kusanagi sword, was like a grim reaper on the battlefield. No one could withstand a single blow from him.

Whether they were Genin, Chunin, or J?nin, they were all equally weak in his eyes.

"Damn it!"

?noki coughed up blood, his anger reaching its peak.

"Tsuchikage-sama, are you alright?"

His son, Kitsuchi, rushed to his side.

"I'm fine."

?noki coughed again. Shin's kick had broken two of his ribs. But he could endure the pain.

He was still in his prime, not the frail old man he would become in the future.

"Kitsuchi, don't go over there," ?noki said to his son.

He didn't want Kitsuchi to get hurt. Shin was slaughtering their Shinobi. Even though Kitsuchi was talented and strong, he would be no match for Shin.

?noki had seen Shin kill an Iwa elite J?nin in two moves.

He wouldn't let his son die.

"Tsuchikage-sama, as a Shinobi of Iwagakure, I cannot stand by and watch my comrades die!" Kitsuchi said resolutely.

"Shut up and obey me! Order the others to retreat! Leave this to me and R?shi!" ?noki roared.

Kitsuchi could only obey.

?noki sighed. His son was talented, but he lacked the decisiveness of a leader.

Kitsuchi relayed his orders, and the Iwa Shinobi, terrified of Shin, retreated quickly.

Shin stood alone, surrounded by dozens of corpses. Blood flowed like a stream.

"Uzumaki Shin!"

?noki roared, his eyes bloodshot. Shin had killed over a hundred Iwa Shinobi in a matter of minutes.

And among the dead were J?nin and elite J?nin, valuable assets.

"Why are you shouting? I'm not deaf."

Shin looked at ?noki, who was standing beside R?shi, the Four-Tails Jinch?riki.

R?shi was stubborn and didn't get along with ?noki. They were both hard-headed.

But this was a war. For the sake of Iwagakure, R?shi had temporarily submitted to ?noki's authority.

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

?noki unleashed his ultimate Jutsu, Dust Release, a Kekkei T?ta that combined Earth, Wind, and Fire Release.

It was a Jutsu developed by the Second Tsuchikage, M?, and passed down to ?noki. It could disintegrate anything into atoms.

Dust Release was undeniably powerful, but its Chakra cost was immense.

?noki felt his Chakra deplete. That single attack had used a third of his reserves.

A cube-shaped barrier shot towards Shin. Anything caught within it would be disintegrated.

This attack ignored defenses. Even the Third Raikage would be turned to dust.

"Tenmomei."

Shin activated his Eternal Mangeky? Sharingan and used his right eye's ability, rewinding time. The cube-shaped barrier reversed its trajectory and vanished.

The Detachment of the Primitive World Technique had been rewound to before it was even cast, but ?noki's Chakra wasn't restored.

Shin's Tenmomei had only affected the Jutsu, not ?noki himself.

Theoretically, if the Jutsu was rewound to before it was cast, the Chakra used should also be restored.

But when it came to time manipulation, things were complicated. Shin didn't fully understand it yet.

When he used Tenmomei to rewind a Jutsu, the Chakra cost wasn't refunded. It was consumed.

Shin didn't know why.

?noki's eyes widened. His Dust Release had vanished. It hadn't had any effect. He wondered if there was something wrong with his Jutsu.

"?noki, your Dust Release is useless," Shin said with a smirk, enjoying ?noki's dumbfounded expression.

"You did this?" ?noki scowled. He was certain there was nothing wrong with his Jutsu. Shin must have done something.

"Against these eyes, all Jutsu are useless," Shin said calmly.
