Under everyone's gaze, two colossal spheres appeared in the sky.
One was vast like a falling meteor.
The other was pitch-black, like the maw of a black hole.
The former was so immense—comparable to ten islands bound together—that it blotted out the entire sky, plunging Amegakure into a darkness deeper than its usual clouds.
The latter, though smaller, pressed on the heart even harder.
"Pain…"
Konan watched Tendō Pain, tense and unblinking.
Tendō Pain clenched both hands; his face twisted as if the very art had broken its painter's style. Chakra poured madly into Chibaku Tensei (Planetary Devastation).
Vast quantities of soil, rubble, shattered buildings, trees—and even people—
were torn from the earth by raging antigravity and hurled skyward.
Against that backdrop, the distance between the two spheres—one huge, one small—shrank rapidly.
It was a staggering sight. No one dared breathe too loud, eyes locked on the two orbs racing toward collision.
"Don't worry… that's the forbidden dōjutsu said to have once created the moon…"
Konan clasped her hands together in prayer.
At last, the black Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) infused with Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) slammed into the Chibaku Tensei.
In an instant, shards flew in every direction.
Like Mars striking Earth, the moment they touched, a storm of sparks erupted, and the black Rasengan sank deep into the sphere.
"Impossible…"
Tendō Pain's eyes went wide.
"How… how can that black sphere be so hard…?"
During Chibaku Tensei, he had forcibly dragged in enormous masses of inorganic material, smashing them together in the most brutal fashion—
compacting them under pressure until they were preternaturally hard.
Yet that black sphere shattered the compressed stone.
With a thunderous boom, the vast Chibaku Tensei burst apart. Everything it had swallowed scattered like a goddess flinging flowers,
meteoring back to the ground and blasting crater after crater into the earth.
The shockwave caught Tendō Pain fully, flaying him with the flying debris until he was covered in cuts.
"It's over!"
As if hearing the blond youth's voice, he glanced down—only to see a surge of blazing fire roaring up at him.
"Ho!"
"Stubborn to the end, aren't you…" Naruto drew back his right fist, then turned to look for Obito again—
only to find a sea of endless White Zetsu.
"Hey, can I see your little brother?"
One White Zetsu dashed up to Naruto, curious as a child.
"Sure—if you're a girl…" Naruto's face darkened. He slammed a fist into the thing and sent it flying.
Another White Zetsu, seeing this, showed no fear. Instead, it asked with interest,
"Then… can you show me?"
As it spoke, its body transformed—into Konan's shape—and it even opened its clothes boldly for Naruto to see.
Naruto: "…"
Konan: "…"
"No way… that guy got taken out?"
On a distant battlefield, Kakuzu stared grimly at the blaze in the sky.
He waited a few seconds.
When Tendō Pain didn't reappear, the top-class bounty hunter didn't hesitate—he bolted in the opposite direction.
"What a pain. My money's still stashed over there…"
"What a terrifying fellow… his flames could probably melt the Third Kazekage's iron sand…"
Sasori of the Red Sand muttered under his breath. Without a second thought, he stepped onto a cloud of iron sand, puppeteering the Third Kazekage human puppet to flee.
"Stop!!!"
Crocodile glared furiously and surged after him atop a storm of yellow sand.
If his old shipmates heard that he—the Sandman of the Suna Suna no Mi—had been beaten by a ninja using iron sand, he'd be the laughingstock of the seas.
"Don't waste my time. I hate being kept waiting…" Sasori's eyes went cold as he flicked a hand.
"Tetsusa Dai Sō (Great Iron Sand Funeral)!"
A tsunami of black iron sand roared forth, swallowing Crocodile despite his fury.
"Idiot. Desert sand competing with iron sand?"
Sasori snorted and didn't spare Crocodile another glance. Though both were "sand," the might of iron sand was unquestionably greater. (看暴爽小说,就上飞卢小说网!)
"Tendō Pain's down… what about Uchiha Madara?!"
Merged with Samehada, Kisame scanned the area with a grave expression. Not seeing "Madara," he hesitated—and then also turned to flee.
"…"
"Tendō Pain… is down…"
Inside Susanoo (Susanoo), Itachi's eyes were blood-red and swollen. He stared blankly at the flames in the sky, then looked to the front—
where Shisui was still attacking him with ferocious intensity.
He hesitated, but did not give up his defense. Guiding Susanoo to retreat, he murmured,
"Sasuke…"
"…"
"Kakuzu—Kakuzu-nii, get me out first before you run…"
Hidan cried out, face twisted with tragic appeal. At the moment, his limbs had changed places and his head hung below his waist; forget running—he could barely even stand.
Hearing him, a burly pirate next to him stared, astonished.
"You're… still alive?!"
"Hehehe… Even Zero got taken out. What a pity. I still wanted to study his Rinnegan…"
Orochimaru licked his lips, then cast a greedy glance at Law.
"We'll meet again…"
"Let's not."
A cold voice sounded at Orochimaru's side.
Orochimaru froze, scalp prickling. He didn't even dare turn his head; without a word, he prepared to use Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique).
"Raiton: Chidori (Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds)!"
A piercing crackle split the air. Orochimaru's body convulsed wildly as blue electricity jumped and skittered across his flesh.
Naruto shook out his hand and swept the area with Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki), wary.
Sensing no extra serpents lurking about, he looked down at Orochimaru, a thin smile on his lips, and reached out to grab him.
"You came—so don't leave. Relax, I won't kill you. I'll just leave some insurance on you."
"Gogyō Fūin (Five Elements Seal)!"
Naruto's right hand slammed into Orochimaru's abdomen.
"Hakke Fūin (Eight Trigrams Seal)!"
His right palm struck again.
"Shishō Fūin (Four Symbols Seal)!"
And again.
"Fūja Hōin (Evil-Sealing Method)!"
"Fūbaku Hōjin (Sealing Binding Array)!"
"Shishū Jū Fūin (Four-Limbs Heavy Seal)!"
