Chapter 162: Divine Might Descends upon Takigakure!
The current Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—was an unfathomable existence in the ninja world. What did it mean for someone like him to suddenly appear in Takigakure, the Village Hidden in the Waterfall?
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
In an instant, both Kumogakure shinobi and the ninja of Takigakure began to tremble slightly. Their faces turned pale as they looked at the Fifth Hokage. They opened their mouths to speak, but no words came out.
What could they possibly say?
The Fifth Hokage had suddenly descended upon Takigakure—there was no way this could be good news.
> "It's over…"
Among them, Furo, the woman kneeling on the ground, felt her heart shatter. The look on her face froze, and all traces of arrogance vanished.
She never imagined it—
That the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure would personally arrive in Takigakure.
Despair.
Absolute despair.
If it had been any other Konoha shinobi, she might've stood a chance at escape. But faced with the man known as the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—she didn't even have the courage to flee.
Just his presence alone…
It had forced both the Kumogakure and Takigakure shinobi to collapse to their knees.
What kind of monster was he?
She could only kneel there stupidly, her body shivering uncontrollably.
> "H-He's… the Fifth Hokage?"
As he watched the man casually suppressing both Matatabi (Two-Tails) and Chōmei (Seven-Tails) while chatting lightly, En'en, one of the main conspirators, felt utterly helpless.
He had laid so many careful plans and was just about to succeed. Yet now, this unforeseen intruder had thrown everything into chaos.
Now, he could only pray that Uchiha Yuta was merely passing through.
Otherwise... they were all finished.
> "The Fifth Hokage…"
Compared to the despair and panic of Furo and En'en, the young leader of Takigakure, Shibuki, though initially overwhelmed with fear and disbelief, soon clenched his fists, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
In his view…
The sudden appearance of the Fifth Hokage might just be the turning point Takigakure needed.
In truth, ever since hearing how Konohagakure had completely annihilated Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village) and absorbed it with overwhelming might, the foresighted Shibuki had already planned to lead Takigakure into an alliance—or even willingly become a vassal—to seek Konoha's protection.
It was no joke.
Konohagakure, under the leadership of Uchiha Yuta—the most powerful figure in the ninja world—was almost invincible.
Shibuki never believed that the Hero Water or even Chōmei alone could stop an invasion from Konoha.
He had intended to wait for the right moment to surrender peacefully.
But things changed when En'en, his mentor, secretly colluded with Kumogakure, catching him completely off guard.
Now…
With the sudden arrival of Uchiha Yuta…
Everything might take a turn for the better.

A Sudden Surge of Power!
BOOM!!
Without warning—
Perhaps due to being completely overwhelmed by the sheer pressure radiating from Uchiha Yuta…
The jinchūriki of the Seven-Tails, Fū, could no longer maintain control. Her inner turmoil gave Chōmei the opportunity to take over.
The chakra within her exploded violently.
A terrifying, crimson tailed beast chakra surged across the battlefield, suffocating and menacing.
From where she lay, the fully transformed Chōmei—now in complete Tailed Beast form—began writhing violently. Her six wings and long tail twisted and thrashed in an effort to rise.
She faced directly toward Uchiha Yuta.
But it was all in vain.
No matter how hard Chōmei struggled, she remained pinned to the ground, completely paralyzed by the invisible, suffocating pressure.
> "ROOOAARR!!"
Enraged by her helplessness, Chōmei let out a furious roar.
> "Damn it! If you have the guts, drop the pressure and fight me fair and square!"
How humiliating!
As a legendary Tailed Beast—one of the nine—Chōmei had never suffered this kind of disgrace.
Pinned to the ground by mere killing intent?
It was infuriating.
> "You... insect. You think you're worthy of my full strength?"
Uchiha Yuta stood tall, arms folded across his chest, gazing down at the beast indifferently.
> "If you insist on resisting, then don't blame me for being merciless."
> "Presumptuous! Even if you've reached the Six Paths realm, don't think—"
BOOM!!!
Before Chōmei could finish its sentence—
An even more majestic wave of power erupted from Uchiha Yuta's body.
Crack—crack—
The air itself fractured.
Before everyone's stunned eyes, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the sky around Uchiha Yuta. The ground shook violently, splitting open as though an earthquake had struck. The shinobi of Kumogakure and Takigakure, already terrified, were now completely dumbfounded.
As for Chōmei—
The mighty Seven-Tails—
Her body froze entirely. Her consciousness was overwhelmed by a roaring shock. She collapsed with a heavy crash to the ground, completely unconscious.
> "I-It can't be…"
> "Has he truly reached the realm of the Sage of Six Paths?"
These were Chōmei's final thoughts before blacking out.
Even the most stubborn remnants of resistance were annihilated.
---
Silence Falls…
Absolute silence.
After Uchiha Yuta suppressed the fully transformed Seven-Tails with nothing more than raw momentum…
Not a single sound could be heard.
If not for the shattered terrain, the collapsed buildings, and the fractured forest surrounding Takigakure, one might think the entire scene had been imagined.
> "H-How terrifying…"
> "Too strong…! The God of the Shinobi World is far too strong!"
> "What kind of monster is the Fifth Hokage?!"
Soon—
As the shock began to wear off—
The remaining shinobi of Kumogakure and Takigakure, still kneeling on the ground, could only stare in blank amazement.
They had all known Uchiha Yuta was strong.
He was widely regarded as the new God of the Shinobi World.
But this…?
To suppress a fully manifested tailed beast—with no movement, no jutsu, just sheer presence?
That wasn't strength anymore.
That was divinity.
