Rumble!!
Hyūga Kawa disappeared completely into the incredibly thick rock layers of the Planetary Devastation (Chibaku Tensei).
Immediately following, a chilling sound of shattering rock sullenly transmitted from deep within the Planetary Devastation, as if something inside was fiercely destroying and tearing its way out!
Accompanied by this dense, muffled sound, the entire giant sphere began to tremble violently!
"Lord Kawa! He..."
"It's working! It's actually working!"
"Attack! Attack those cracks! Don't let Lord Kawa's sacrifice be in vain!"
This sudden change instantly lifted the spirits of the Leaf Ninja below, who had been sinking into despair. It was as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and their survival instinct was instantly ignited.
They cried out hoarsely, their eyes burning, recklessly squeezing out the last remnants of Chakra in their bodies.
Beams of Ninjutsu desperately slammed into the ever-spreading cracks, attempting to rip this damnable sphere apart through a combination of external and internal force!
"Kawa!"
Might Guy, currently being toyed with by the "Septima Espada," who was sometimes pulled towards the sky by gravity and sometimes slammed into the ground by repulsion, couldn't help but roar when he saw this scene.
He violently twisted his body, slammed a punch to repel the "Septima Espada," then instantly poured all his strength into his arm, aiming for the massive Planetary Devastation in the distance!
"Daytime Tiger (Hirudora)!!"
A pure white, ferocious tiger, constructed entirely from compressed air and emanating a terrifying aura, abruptly materialized!
The air twisted and exploded in its path. With a tragic, charging momentum, it blasted towards the most densely cracked region on the surface of the Planetary Devastation!
Boom! Crack! Snap!!
The "Daytime Tiger" violently exploded. The wild impact raged fiercely in that area, clearing away a large section of the rock layers!
Thick cracks spread rapidly and tore wildly in all directions from the center of the pit. Countless giant rock fragments broke away, and the sphere seemed to be disintegrating!
"Who is that guy?"
Watching the might of Might Guy's attack, Pain's Deva Path, who was concealed in the shadows, instantly lost his indifferent expression.
Seeing the damage caused by Hyūga Kawa and Might Guy, a look of shocked fury flashed in his eyes!
Therefore, he fiercely raised his hands, clasping them tightly together in front of him, fingers locked in a death grip, as more Chakra surged in like a tide.
"Haaaah!"
He looked up, a roar bursting from deep in his throat. His expression became distorted from the sheer, overloaded power output, and the veins on his forehead, neck, and arms bulged violently!
Instantly, the terrifying gravitational pull generated by the Planetary Devastation abruptly skyrocketed again!
"Ugh!"
"Oh no!"
Many Leaf Ninja, who were barely clinging to large fragments and attempting to form seals, instantly had the rocks beneath their feet torn to shreds by the suddenly amplified gravity!
They only managed to let out a brief, pathetic scream. Their Ninjutsu was interrupted, and their bodies, having lost their foothold, were mercilessly yanked higher into the sky at a speed several times faster!
A wider area of the surrounding ground peeled up and shattered. More ruins, debris, and even the skeletons of buildings that hadn't yet collapsed, crumbled and disintegrated under this amplified gravity!
They transformed into a more violent torrent of rock and metal, shooting up into the sky and raining down upon the Planetary Devastation, which had been on the verge of breaking apart!
Bang! Bang-bang!!
Under the Deva Path's all-out effort, made without regard for the cost, the fissures and gaps that had been blasted open were quickly filled and covered, forcibly stabilizing the structure that was about to collapse!
The fate of Hyūga Kawa, who had penetrated deep inside, along with the intense sounds coming from within, completely vanished, seemingly falling silent.
"..."
Fear instantly drowned the hearts of every survivor below.
All the struggling Leaf Ninja stared blankly at the rocky celestial body that had not only failed to shatter but had grown even larger and thicker.
The faint hope and excitement that had just surfaced on their faces completely froze, turning into utter grayness and despair.
"Lord Kawa."
"Is this kind of power truly something a person can contend with...?"
Someone mumbled lost, their voice trembling uncontrollably.
A woman numbly let go of the kunai she was clutching, allowing her body to be slowly dragged towards the sky by the gravity. All light vanished from her eyes, leaving only a blank despair.
"Hyūga Kawa!" Jiraiya fiercely clenched his fists. His nails actually dug into his palms, and crimson blood trickled from between his fingers, yet he seemed oblivious to the pain.
"Alas," Fukasaku sighed, also touched, but still advised, "Little Jiraiya, run. You can't save everyone, but you can save some."
"..." Kakashi opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something, but no sound came out. His body flew upward uncontrollably.
It's over.
The Leaf Village is finished.
"Trash! All of you are trash!"
A middle-aged man who looked like a merchant had clearly been driven insane by fear. He screamed hysterically while flying into the sky against his will.
"What good are your high and mighty ninja masters when you collect so many taxes from us?"
"You can't even protect your own village! Are you worthy of the previous Hokages who died for us?!"
"I don't want to die!" A woman let out a heartbreaking wail. "You said you would protect us! Why? Why?!"
"What damned Hokage, what Three Sannin, they're all trash! The Leaf Village is finished! We are all going to die here!"
More curses and desperate cries erupted, aimed directly at the high-ranking officials they once trusted.
Listening to these agonizing curses, Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face turned ashen. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single defense. His hunched figure seemed to have aged another ten years.
The wound in his abdomen was still bleeding, staining his official robes. He could only command Enma to try and save more people.
Buzz!
A low yet deeply penetrating hum, as if from a distant sky, yet clearly overriding all the cries and curses, entered everyone's ears.
Everyone involuntarily looked up.
They saw that on the horizon, the colossal cannon mouth on the underside of the floating aerial fortress, suspended in the clouds, was glowing with a chilling light once more. Golden electrical snakes frantically twisted and converged!
Evidently, the enemy was wary of the potential threat posed by Hyūga Kawa and wanted to deliver the final killing blow now that he was sealed and the Leaf Village had completely lost its ability to resist.
This was undoubtedly the final straw that broke the camel's back.
The last flicker of despair tightly strangled everyone's throats, even the cursing suddenly ceased.
In the distance, Might Guy watched Hyūga Kawa's self-sacrificing charge, watched the faint light and sound he brought be utterly extinguished, leaving no trace.
Tears couldn't help but stream from the eyes of this man of steel.
"Waaaaah!"
He let out a wail of grief and rage. The power of the Eight Gates Released Formation surged madly through his body. The light armor created by 'Gluttony' hummed, and steam billowed.
"Well done, my friend! My youth must not end with regret here!"
His eyes turned resolute and crazed. He fiercely crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his aura began to climb wildly toward a chaotic peak.
Although he wasn't sure if the current 'Gluttony' could sustain his life, Hyūga Kawa's self-sacrifice had completely solidified his resolve.
However, just as he was about to recklessly burst open the final "Gate of Death," at this moment when everything was silent and all seemed fated.
Boom!!
A powerful, alien, yet majestic and divine aura suddenly erupted from the deep, silent, and heavy Planetary Devastation above.
The aura was so vast and immense, like the slumbering sun awakening in the profound darkness.
"That is..."
Everyone who felt this aura instantly widened their eyes, their hearts uncontrollably pounding wildly.
The next moment, an incomparably dazzling, razor-sharp beam of golden light fiercely shot out from the deep rock layers of the Planetary Devastation!
From the inside out!
From bottom to top!
The light effortlessly sliced through the layers of hard rock, piercing through the colossal structure of the Planetary Devastation with unstoppable force!
The momentum did not diminish. It fiercely shot into the high-altitude clouds, penetrating the swirling masses!
Then, it began to slice downward!
Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion (Kinrin Tensei Baku)!
Chh!
