Karin, who transformed into the Giant Garuda, also gained terrifying eyesight.
Therefore, even without mastering Observation Haki, she saw Naruto 'flying' out before Sasuke did.
Naruto, running through the air by stomping on Geppo, quickly arrived near the group. Before Karin could ask anything, he spoke first.
"Get further away!"
Although not understanding why, Karin obediently complied, carrying the two people on her back and flying a distance away.
"Not enough!"
They flew further away.
"Even further!"
Now Karin was quite far from Naruto and the Ancor Vantian… even Naruto's loud shouts were drowned out by the wind and couldn't be heard.
But hand signals could still be seen.
Only when Karin had flown about two kilometers away did Naruto nod.
Then, he turned to face the aerial fortress, which had already fallen halfway.
If he just shattered it, the fragments and wreckage of the fortress would still destroy the town below like meteors.
If he was going to do it, he had to do it thoroughly, wiping it out completely in one go.
Naruto directly opened his mouth, a destructive aura gathering in front of it.
Jiraiya, who was watching from afar, felt like he had seen a similar scene somewhere before.
Soon, the Conqueror's Haki and Chakra Naruto had accumulated earlier converged into a large, pitch-black energy sphere.
And Naruto was still continuously pumping more things into it.
If he was going to do it, he was going to go big.
Roar!!!
Only when Naruto felt he had reached his limit did the destructive beam surge forth, flying straight towards the falling fortress.
Kurama, having seen it once before, wasn't surprised.
But the residents below were different.
A black beam streaked across the sky. Residents who noticed it thought it was a shooting star and pulled their companions to make a wish.
Little did they know their companions were staring dumbfoundedly at another part of the sky.
This person took a few steps to the side, finally seeing the spectacle blocked by the eaves.
It was a city floating in the sky!
Now, this city was growing larger and larger in their field of vision.
Faced with a natural disaster of this magnitude, ordinary people didn't even have the heart to run away.
It was a despair that human strength could not resist.
Just as this resident began recalling their entire life in their mind, the black beam in the sky struck the giant city.
Boom!
Judging by their sizes, the area impacted by this black beam could cover at most one-tenth of the city.
But when the two made contact, a violent explosion occurred.
The Conqueror's Haki that spilled out completely knocked out everyone in the town below.
-This was also a good thing. Perhaps when they woke up, they would think the earlier natural disaster was just a nightmare.
Whether it was a real Tailed Beast Bomb or Naruto's bootleg version, the [Conqueror's Bomb], neither simply 'penetrated' the enemy.
The subsequent area-of-effect explosion was the real killing move.
Karin and Jiraiya simultaneously showed expressions of seeing a ghost. Even someone as aloof as Sasuke couldn't avoid being stunned, his eyes wide and mouth agape.
This was far more terrifying than when Naruto used his [Ikoku Sovereignty] punch to shatter the Hokage Rock.
If the target were Konoha Village, then after this strike, probably only a very few survivors would be left alive in the entire village.
The violent explosion completely enveloped the entire Ancor Vantian. Even the aftershocks it produced 'shaved the heads' off some of the taller buildings in the town.
After the explosion, the Ancor Vantian that had previously blocked out the sun had completely disappeared.
Along with it went the newly risen Soragakure's faction that had accumulated over a decade of development.
They didn't even have time to say their own name before being utterly erased from this world.
The only survivor was Amaru, who had been knocked out earlier by the attack.
This little girl had been placed in the town by them. Before she could even wake up, she suffered another wave of mental impact.
Probably the next time she wakes up, her head will hurt for a while.
Those fortunate enough to witness this century-level explosion, aside from Naruto's Avengers Team, were Obito, who had stayed behind to observe the battlefield.
Inside the Kamui Dimension, his expression was also grave as he watched the entire terrifying attack.
'Was this really something a human could accomplish?'
Even with Obito's imagination, it was difficult to connect this kind of attack with the kid his teacher left behind.
Obito's Dojutsu, [Kamui], allowed him to maintain an intangible state for several minutes. In this state, he was actually already in a different dimension, thus almost ignoring all Ninjutsu and physical attacks.
Of course, this didn't mean he was invincible.
In the original work, he had been bombarded by Konan's six hundred billion explosive tags for a full ten minutes, only winning in the end by relying on Izanagi's ability to 'alter reality'.
If given enough preparation time, Konan could create an even bigger spectacle than Naruto's attack.
And under the attack just now, Obito could faintly sense fluctuations in the Kamui Dimension.
Although it was only for an instant, it was enough to shock him.
'This kid's attack possessed the ability to affect space.'
Although he didn't know the principle, it meant Naruto could still potentially hurt him.
This also cooled down Obito, who had become somewhat arrogant from maintaining his invincibility through intangibility for so long.
'The plan needed to change.'
'If we let this kid charge straight into the Land of Rain unimpeded, even if Nagato had the Six Paths of Pain and the help of other Akatsuki's members, they might not necessarily be able to suppress him.'
'Naruto Uzumaki, you really always manage to surprise me.'
At the border of the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth, Mount Shumisen.
Hiding the lower half of his face with bandages, looking like a young boy, Hiruko watched the two figures wearing black robes with red clouds before him and did not immediately launch an attack.
These two guys, one called himself Uchiha Itachi, the other was named Hoshigaki Kisame, came from an organization called [Akatsuki], and they're here to recruit him.
Hiruko's subordinates had now used the Chimera Technique to merge with their summoned creatures, glaring fiercely the uninvited guests who had suddenly barged into Mount Shumisen.
As long as Hiruko gave the order, they would not hesitate to strike.
Kisame could feel that clear killing intent, which made him unconsciously reveal an excited smile, his large mouth grinning open to show full rows of sharp teeth.
Itachi, however, simply stared quietly back at Hiruko.
It was fortunate that Itachi came this time with the intention of recruitment.
Otherwise, with Hiruko's brazen direct eye contact, he probably would have been instantly defeated by his Genjutsu before even fighting.
His Dark Release could absorb Ninjutsu, but it was powerless against Genjutsu caused by the Sharingan.
"...Fine. However, if you want me to join you, shouldn't you also help me with something?"
To be honest, Hiruko wasn't resistant to the Akatsuki's recruitment… of course, he also had no intention of obeying orders obediently.
Faced with helpers delivered to his doorstep, he didn't mind using them first.
With the help of these people, perhaps his plan to collect five Kekkei Genkai would be completed ahead of schedule.
Once he obtained immortality, wouldn't he be the one calling the shots then?
Looking at Itachi's Sharingan, Hiruko thought to himself.
'Perhaps the fifth Kekkei Genkai didn't necessarily have to be Hatake Kakashi's.'
But he knew it would just be very difficult to place a Cursed Seal on Itachi... He could only plan for the long term. But for now, agreeing to them held no disadvantage for him.
Destroy the Five Great Nations? Destroy Konoha Village?
These were things he would do after obtaining immortality, even if no one asked him to.
Hiruko's ambition was not concealed in the slightest, but Itachi didn't care about these things either.
At this moment, his heart was still preoccupied with Sasuke, wondering if his brother could survive the organization's members.
'I need to hurry back.'
