Blazing Hell, the most destructive technique of Ryūjin Jakka.
If the dozens of towering fire pillars unleashed their full power, they could reduce tens of kilometers of land to scorched earth.
Such power was more than capable of destroying the Kirigakure.
The might of the fire pillars made the Kiri-nin truly feel Tengen's terror.
So, the rumors were true, Tengen's power had reached an unfathomable, godlike level.
"What kind of power is this?"
"Is this still Fire Release?"
"Did we make a mistake attacking the Land of Fire? Why did it come to this?"
"Is this hell? If it is, I want to wake up!"
"Mizukage-sama, please, come and see this!"
Countless Kiri-nin gazed in fear, their hearts crying out in despair. The villagers of the Kirigakure were even more terrified, staring at the sky-piercing fire pillars.
"Kill Tengen! Everyone, if we kill him, this ends!" A Mist Jonin shouted.
He couldn't let the Kiri-nin lose their will to fight. Otherwise, Tengen's claim of destroying the Kirigakure might actually come true.
The Mist Jonin knew retreat was impossible for Tengen unless they defeated him with sheer force.
After all, Tengen was fighting for Konoha. Crippling the Kirigakure's stronghold would force their ninja in the Land of Fire to return.
Tengen attacking the Kirigakure alone was unthinkable. Even Minato had been stunned by the idea, but this unimaginable event was unfolding.
Tengen aimed to destroy the Kirigakure single-handedly.
"Then it all ends here." Tengen said, his gaze calm and detached.
"No…" The Kiri-nin screamed.
They could feel the energy of the towering fire pillars surging, the flames drawing closer together.
"Blazing Hell, Burst."
As the dozens of fire pillars merged, an overwhelming destructive force swept through the Kirigakure.
Under the intense heat, buildings melted away, and the thick fog shrouding the village was obliterated.
The place where the Kirigakure once stood became a fiery hell.
This Blazing Hell attack completely razed the Kirigakure, claiming the lives of many ninja.
The Jonin fared better, managing to defend themselves in time.
"Why… why?" The Kiri-nin glared at Tengen with murderous intent, blaming him for reducing their village to this state.
A wasteland of flames, a scorched ruin.
"I'll kill you!" A Mist Jonin charged, kunai in hand, his face twisted with madness.
"Useless." Tengen said, swinging Ryūjin Jakka. The blade struck the ninja.
To Tengen's surprise, the spot he hit turned to flowing water.
"Hydrification Technique, the Hōzuki clan's ability?" Tengen withdrew Ryūjin Jakka and struck again, enveloping the Hōzuki ninja in raging flames.
Yet, the ninja survived, still alive.
"An interesting ability." Tengen said, pulling back Ryūjin Jakka.
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed.
A massive creature appeared in the Kirigakure, standing dozens of meters tall. It resembled Tsunade's slug but had limbs.
This was the Kirigakure's Tailed Beast, the Six-Tails, Saiken.
The Six-Tails scanned its surroundings menacingly, searching for the one responsible for this chaos.
"The Six-Tails." The Kiri-nin muttered, their faces paling.
Under normal circumstances, they had ways to handle a Tailed Beast. But with the Kirigakure in ruins and their focus on Tengen, they had no strength left to deal with the Six-Tails.
"I'm free!" The Six-Tails roared, spewing corrosive acid from its mouth to extinguish the surrounding flames.
But the Kiri-nin didn't welcome this. Compared to the flames, the Six-Tails' power was equally terrifying, only worsening the devastation.
"Six-Tails Saiken." Tengen said, smiling faintly at the rampaging beast.
That smile sent a chill through the Kiri-nin watching him.
"Since a Tailed Beast has appeared, I'll help you deal with it." Tengen said, glancing at Ryūjin Jakka.
"Let's unleash your full power, just a little." Tengen whispered, "Ryūjin Jakka… Bankai."
The blade of Ryūjin Jakka subtly transformed, though the change was minor.
This was its ultimate form.
"Zanka no Tachi." Tengen said, gripping the blade as he floated into the sky.
"Six-Tails Saiken." Tengen called out calmly.
"Who are you?" The Six-Tails noticed the tiny figure.
"I'm the one who turned the Kirigakure into this." Tengen said, holding Zanka no Tachi.
"You!" The Six-Tails' gaze sharpened, wary of Tengen's power.
To reduce the Kirigakure to this state, this human's strength had to be extraordinary. The Six-Tails had emerged while its Jinchūriki was gravely injured.
"Try taking this technique." Tengen said to the Six-Tails. "If you survive, I'll spare you this time."
"What did you say, brat? I'm a Tailed Beast!" Saiken roared.
"A Tailed Beast? Too bad I've already dealt with several, and they all started out like you." Tengen replied.
"Zanka no Tachi North: Heaven and Earth to Ashes." Tengen swung Zanka no Tachi toward the Six-Tails.
A force like the core of the sun surged forth.
"This power!" The Six-Tails' eyes widened in terror, but the ultra-long-range attack was too fast.
When the strike hit, a blinding white light spread.
As the light faded, the massive, dozens-of-meters-tall beast was gone.
