Watching the gigantic Tailed Beast Bomb that Killer B had condensed, so enormous it made one's scalp tingle, finally begin to move…
And seeing it plow a massive trench through the Konoha forest the moment it did, kicking up dust that blotted out the sky as it tore through the air at terrifying speed, every Konoha ninja felt the color drain from their faces in an instant.
"Quick, go wake Lord Garp!"
Orochimaru, who earlier had lacked the courage to wake Garp, now screamed at the top of his lungs in an urgency never heard before, toward the group of Konoha ninja beneath the three stone statues.
"It's too late!"
"Even if we wake Lord Garp, with a Tailed Beast Bomb that huge, only Lord Garp himself would come out unscathed!"
"That's a giant Tailed Beast Bomb the Eight-Tails spent who knows how long condensing!"
Yet Fugaku, Shisui, and the others who had personally witnessed just how massive Killer B's Tailed Beast Bomb was could only think in utter despair.
It wasn't that they lacked confidence in Garp, it was that they had no confidence in themselves.
With a Tailed Beast Bomb of that scale, once it exploded, even the residual shockwaves alone would be enough to erase the entire Valley of the End from the ninja world's map.
And naturally, the vast majority of people within the Valley of the End along with it.
"Guy, do you remember what I once told you?"
Might Duy placed a hand on the head of the still-shaken Might Guy, then stared into his eyes, which were filled with panic and worry.
"You can only use it when you're protecting the most important people by your side. And now… is that moment."
As he spoke, the chakra within his body surged like a raging river, rushing through his meridians as one inner gate after another was forcefully opened.
Pssh…
Just as blue steam erupted violently from Might Duy's body, so intense it moved every ninja present, and was about to turn into crimson steam, a sound like a bubble popping suddenly reached their ears.
Immediately after, an irritated, grumbling voice spread rapidly across the entire Valley of the End.
"Oi, oi, oi, where did all this sappy nonsense come from, waking me up…"
Though it was clearly a scolding voice, it carried an inexplicable power.
The moment everyone heard that slightly annoyed cursing tone, the fear, anxiety, and even despair in their hearts were completely smoothed away.
"Garp-sensei, you're awake?"
Might Duy's face lit up with joy as he forcibly pressed down the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, that was about to open.
Unlike the others.
As Garp's student, even though he had only been taught for a few days, it did nothing to diminish his trust in Garp.
So what if it was the Eight-Tails' jinchuriki?
So what if it was the largest Tailed Beast Bomb in the history of the ninja villages?
In his eyes, as long as his teacher had the thought, even if the sky of the ninja world collapsed, Garp could prop it back up with a single hand.
"You're a grown man in your forties or fifties, suddenly whispering all that mushy, emotional nonsense in my ear, how could I not wake up?"
Garp casually picked at his nose, glaring at Might Duy with an annoyed expression.
"Uncle Garp, forget that for now, the Tailed Beast Bomb… huh? Where did he go?"
Standing atop the Hashirama statue, Tsunade looked down toward where Garp had been, her face full of urgency.
But before she could even finish a third of her sentence, she suddenly realized that Garp, who had been clearly within her sight just moments ago, had vanished.
"The sky!"
"Look, he's there!"
"Lord Garp is in the sky!"
Hizashi, his Byakugan activated, shouted excitedly.
Hearing this, everyone instinctively looked up.
At some unknown moment, Garp's familiar figure, towering like an iron fortress, powerfully built, had already broken through the air, leaping high above the Valley of the End.
At the same time, an enormous shadow, so vast it seemed capable of blanketing the entire Konoha forest, followed along, swallowing the Valley of the End whole.
The Tailed Beast Bomb!
That suffocatingly massive Tailed Beast Bomb had finally arrived, tearing through the air, stopping squarely before Garp, and directly above everyone's heads.
"It can actually be this big?"
Looking up at it from such close range, even Might Duy, who believed that after opening the Gate of Death he could face this Tailed Beast Bomb head-on, was left dumbstruck.
Let alone the rest of the Konoha ninja, who could only face it with despair and await death.
If not for that sturdy, imposing figure in their vision, one that filled them with reassurance and hope, as it charged to the very front of the Tailed Beast Bomb, most of the ninja present would already have broken down, collapsed to the ground, and waited helplessly for death.
Yet even with Garp standing there like a stabilizing pillar, only one heavy thought remained in their hearts.
A Tailed Beast Bomb bigger than the Valley of the End itself… Can we really survive this?
"Even taking a short nap isn't allowed…. huh?"
Having leapt hundreds of meters into the air, Garp glanced at the colossal Tailed Beast Bomb right in front of him, one even larger than a complete Susanoo, and spoke indifferently.
Then, under the gaze of hundreds of upturned eyes, he raised his right hand and clenched his five powerful fingers into a fist.
In an instant, Garp's fist, no, his entire right arm, was coated in a profound Conqueror's and Armament Haki, looking like a metal arm forged from dark steel, gleaming with red-black arcs of lightning.
Immediately after, rings of Haki, like flames and flowing radiance, burst outward and wrapped tightly around his entire arm.
"Infinitum Explosion!"
The low, cold shout drowned out the Valley of the End like a peal of thunder, rippling outward through the Konoha forest at astonishing speed.
In the next second, under the extremely tense and anxious gazes of Orochimaru, Tsunade, and the others, Garp twisted his body slightly backward, then drove his right fist straight forward, smashing it viciously into the oncoming gigantic Tailed Beast Bomb.
