Flags fluttered as the two opposing forces stood clearly divided, like a boundary river.
"Kyomu!"
Onoki, the Tsuchikage, shouted. Both he and Kyomu were floating in the air. Despite his small stature, his presence was formidable.
In the Shinobi world, ninja who could fly were indeed a cut above the rest. Onoki stepping forward to speak with Kyomu from a distance was not out of place.
"This calamity in the Shinobi world was incited by you alone. Regardless of the outcome, you will become the sinner of the Shinobi world!"
Kyomu shook his head, disinterested in engaging in verbal sparring with Onoki. History is written by the victors. If he lost, he would naturally be scorned by everyone, but if he won, that would be a different story.
Seeing Kyomu not responding, Onoki wanted to say more, but was interrupted by a wave of Kyomu's hand.
"Attack!"
Once he decided to do something, Kyomu never procrastinated. In this era, who had the time for pre-battle shouting matches? The sooner the battle was over, the sooner he could attend to other matters.
With a wave of his arm, the Ryunin, who had been sharpening their blades, launched their assault. Despite being just over ten thousand strong, their momentum was not diminished in the face of the enemy's hundred-thousand-strong army.
The pre-battle challenge had no effect. Onoki was left frustrated, and he could only follow Kyomu's lead and signal for an attack.
Behind him, the hundred-thousand-strong Allied Shinobi Forces began their charge. The ground trembled and dust billowed, their momentum instantly overshadowing the ten thousand Ryunin.
Numbers usually have an overwhelming advantage, but Kyomu was now absolutely in the minority. The more people there were, the more excited he became, and the greater the damage he could cause.
Drawing Yoei at his waist, Kyomu swung it down with an unremarkable motion.
Though it seemed slow, it actually maximized Kyomu's speed, strength, and explosive power. At the same time, his body was infused with a vast amount of chakra.
Two years ago, with the help of a passive skill, Kyomu had fused the yin and yang attributes of chakra within his body, briefly reaching the combat realm of yin-yang unity.
At that time, the deeply hidden gene fragments within his edited body were further activated, beginning to change Kyomu's body from the inside out.
When Kyomu edited his body, he had targeted the likes of Kaguya and the Ten-Tails, the host of the Divine Tree.
Once all his deep-level genes were fully activated, Kyomu would complete his evolution and naturally step into the Six Paths level.
Although two years had passed and Kyomu's edited body had not fully activated all the hidden gene fragments, the continuous deepening of activation had led to a leap in his body's state compared to two years ago.
The most direct manifestation was Kyomu's overall physical quality, vitality, mental strength, and the amount of chakra in his body.
Oh, and for Kyomu, the chakra in his body could no longer be called chakra—it should be called "Chakra Sea."
"Stop Kyomu!"
As Kyomu swung his blade, Onoki and others cried out in unison. They knew very well what Kyomu meant to ninjas weaker than him.
Kyomu was a natural disaster for the weak! But having had the leisure to engage in verbal sparring earlier, it was now too late to stop Kyomu from attacking the hundred-thousand-strong Allied Shinobi Forces.
Seemingly slow but actually fast, Kyomu completed his slashing motion.
The tip of Yoei's blade slashed into the ground beneath him, and the vast chakra Kyomu infused into it was instantly directed to the ground.
Ding! As the blade tip descended, a crisp sound was heard, though only by Kyomu himself, as it was too fast for anyone else.
The tip of the blade struck the ground, rebounding slightly with a spray of sparks from the blade.
This was absurd.
The blade was undoubtedly a divine weapon, possessing numerous divine properties, one of which was 'never dull,' and another being 'extremely sharp.'
Thus, when the blade struck or collided, only the opposing weapon or object would suffer damage, unable to withstand the sharpness and undulled edge of the blade.
However, now the blade's divine property seemed to have failed. Just the blade tip striking the ground had produced sparks, indicating the immense force behind the impact.
Boom! The suppressed force finally erupted. The ground where the blade struck was as if smashed by an invisible force, instantly creating an expansive chasm stretching endlessly, several kilometers wide.
Continental plate subsidence?! Though not that exaggerated, it was close.
Boom! Almost simultaneously, mountain ranges rose on either side of the chasm. At the top of these mountains, countless small black dots were thrown into the air.
On closer inspection, they were the wings of the Allied Shinobi Forces, numbering around twenty thousand.
The sudden rise of the mountain range had hurled them into the air, subjecting them to unimaginable forces.
Flesh and blood could not withstand such force.
Pop.
Like exploding beans, the countless human figures turned into countless crimson dots, staining the sky a light red.
Though brutal and bloody, it was the ultimate in violent aesthetics. Boom! Another loud explosion followed, the ground shaking violently. As the ground continued to crack open, lava spewed from the crevices, transforming the previously flat battlefield into a hellish landscape, with a knife-shaped basin forming.
From a high altitude, the basin's shape resembled a straight blade.
"..."
Everyone was speechless. Aside from the sound of the continental plate continuing to subside, there was no other noise.
The power of a god!
"Victory!"
The next moment, the Ryunin camp erupted in cheers. What was expected to be a tough battle had been drastically altered by Kyomu's single strike, leaving the enemy with less than eighty thousand.
A single strike had slaughtered over ten thousand, creating a legend in the Shinobi world.
With morale high, the Ryunin charged again, undeterred by the changed terrain, howling like beasts.
Conversely, the Allied Shinobi Forces, having lost over twenty thousand in an instant, were trembling in fear.
Seeing this, Kyomu smiled and beckoned Onoki and the others to attack.
"How could you have grown to such an extent!" Onoki shouted hoarsely, gathering a bright white energy mass in his hands.
"I don't believe you can maintain such powerful attacks indefinitely. I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either!" Rasa responded, either to encourage himself or feeling desperate. He flashed behind Onoki, placing a hand on his back.
Instantly, Rasa's chakra surged into Onoki's body.
Following suit, Yagura, the Fourth Raikage, and Jiraiya also placed their hands on Onoki's back, pouring their chakra into him.
Buzz.
The air trembled as the bright white energy mass between Onoki's hands grew larger and more solid.
Dust Release: Ultra-Added Particle Style!
With a push, the massive white cone shot towards Kyomu.
Without the aid of passive skills, Kyomu could replicate the previous slash with all his might, but it would leave him exhausted afterward.
However, reality held no such 'what-ifs.'
[Passive Skill: One Slash Man]
[Skill Description: During the skill duration, your first attack in combat will receive a comprehensive enhancement, with actual power doubled.
Note: When the first attack ends and the predetermined target is destroyed, it is considered the end of combat. In a new combat situation, your first attack will receive the same enhancement.
If the first attack not only destroys the predetermined target but also causes additional damage, it will be considered the end of combat, and your first attack in new combat will receive an additional enhancement.
Additionally: Specific enhancement multipliers depend on actual combat effectiveness.]
[Skill Duration: 30 days]
[Message: As long as one slash can end the battle, I can slash from Chile to Alaska, one slash at a time, without hesitation.]
Yes, without hesitation.
The range of the predetermined target was broad, giving Kyomu considerable flexibility.
This time, the target was the super-enhanced Particle Style.
Raising his blade, Kyomu's eyes sharpened as he slashed horizontally towards the incoming massive white cone.
Slash! Black Flame: Horizon!
A black blade aura emerged, absorbing all surrounding light, evident that it was a product of Kyomu's yin-yang unity.
On the other end of the black blade aura was the dazzling white cone, containing disintegration power capable of reducing everything it touched to atoms.
Onoki's Particle Style was one of the most powerful attacks in the Shinobi world, rivaling the Killing Ash Bones.
But the power of the Particle Style, strong as it was, was surpassed by a force above it.
Yes, the fusion of yang and yin chakra, the so-called creation and destruction power.
Kyomu's attack, produced by this fusion, differed from the Truth-Seeking Balls, focusing on extreme offense, whereas the latter was more balanced, slightly lacking in attack power.
Moreover, with the passive skill's enhancement, even if Hagoromo faced this attack without the Rinnegan's chakra absorption ability, he wouldn't dare take it head-on!
Boom! The black and white attacks collided, shattering the massive white cone, which exploded into a blinding light and a disintegration cloud.
But then.
The black blade aura absorbed all surrounding light, expanding as it continued forward.
"Defend!!!"
Onoki shouted, his voice hoarse. The Fourth Raikage and Yagura continued supplying chakra to him.
Rasa took a step back, clasping his hands together.
Magnet Release: Gold Sand Absolute Defense!
Earth Release: Golem Technique!
A massive stone golem appeared, covered in gold sand armor, enhancing its defense.
The black blade aura flashed by.
Boom! Amid the explosion, the stone golem was shattered.
Swish.
Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
The Fourth Raikage, sensing danger, entered his strongest state, grabbing Onoki with one hand and Rasa with the other, flashing away.
Yagura turned into water, merging into the ground.
The black blade aura finally exploded.
Instantly, the armored stone golem shattered, and the black energy storm tore everything within two kilometers apart.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the clouds parted, leaving a neat, narrow gash, as if the sky itself had been slashed open.
Tap.
Footsteps echoed as Kyomu walked through the oncoming shockwave, his eyes like eagles scanning for the four Kages hidden in the smoke.
Before the smoke cleared, Kyomu's eyes sharpened, looking up.
Super Almighty Push!
Nagato, now a Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, joined the battle, his Rinnegan eyes cold. He unleashed a colossal repulsive force at Kyomu.
Heh!
Kyomu smirked, his body surging with wind, yin, and lightning chakra, forming his unique space bloodline limit chakra, which quickly infused the surrounding space.
In the next moment, Kyomu's smile vanished, his eyes cold.
"So, you prepared thoroughly before challenging me," he thought. "You've sealed the surrounding space with sealing techniques?"
After confirming, Kyomu thought, "A remarkable creation. Unless I push my space bloodline limit to the extreme, I can't break through the reinforced space."
But so what?
He didn't rely solely on his space bloodline limit.
The next moment, Kyomu's body was covered in purple lightning arcs.
Lightning Release: Eight Gates, Gate of Death, Open!
Boom! A shockwave erupted from Kyomu, his black hair standing on end from the purple lightning arcs.
With a burst of strength, Kyomu swung his blade upward at the overwhelming repulsive force.
Black Flame: Horizon!
The same black blade aura as before appeared, tearing through the repulsive force.
The black blade aura, undiminished, continued upward, tearing the sky apart.
"What a powerful slash."
Nagato's eyes narrowed as he plummeted downwards. Kyomu's blade aura was already upon him.
If he couldn't react effectively, he would undoubtedly die!
In an instant, the Nine-Tails transformed fully.
Opening its mouth, the Tailed Beast Ball formed and fired! A dazzling Tailed Beast Ball beam met the black blade aura, colliding instantly.
A black and red energy sphere appeared, almost covering half the sky. The next second, the massive energy sphere exploded, sending shockwaves across the land.
"What on earth is happening over there..." Kakashi turned to the distant sky. "Has the battle reached Nagato, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?!"
Obito also noticed the battlefield's changes. "This seems intense, but for Kyomu, it's nothing."
"That's not what I mean!" Kakashi raised his voice. "Defend, everyone defend!"
Obito realized the approaching dust and shockwaves were moving faster than a hurricane towards the main battlefield.
Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart!
The Ryunin instantly reacted, slamming their hands on the ground, creating a thick, extended wall.
Whoosh! Sand and stones flew as the earth trembled and cracked. The battle's aftermath's power was akin to a super forbidden jutsu's direct hit.
The less responsive Allied Shinobi Forces suffered greatly, with many disappearing in the aftermath.
Casualties were hard to count, but everyone knew this place was no longer safe. A few more rounds of this, and most wouldn't survive.
Both sides tacitly agreed, shifting left to give Kyomu and the others a larger battlefield, while they continued their own skirmish elsewhere.
Boom, boom, boom!
As the explosion's aftermath dissipated, the fully transformed Nine-Tails fell from the sky, bouncing and skidding across the ground, leaving craters.
Boom.
Finally, the Nine-Tails plowed a long trench into the ground, stopping as dirt piled into a small hill behind it.
Struggling to get up, the Nine-Tails shook its massive head, the double vision slowly clearing.
Kyomu's earlier slash had been blocked, but the damage was severe. If it weren't the strongest Tailed Beast, it might have been beheaded.
The next second, Yagura emerged from the water, joined by the Fourth Raikage, Onoki, Rasa, and Jiraiya at the Nine-Tails' feet.
"No one else, right?" Kyomu twirled his blade. "Your numbers seem lacking."
Scanning around, Kyomu suddenly smiled. "I forgot, those maintaining the space seal count as your members too."
Around the central battlefield, about a hundred people were struggling to maintain the chakra-draining space seal.
"Indeed, a few are not enough," Kyomu nodded. "Individually, you wouldn't last a single slash from me."
Suddenly, Kyomu felt like a final BOSS, facing a team raid.
Quite a nice feeling.
"Kyomu-kun, long time no see." Orochimaru, in Akatsuki robes, appeared, joined by Konan, Sasori, and other Akatsuki members.
"Oh!" Kyomu feigned surprise. "So it is a team raid on the BOSS!"
With that, Kyomu slowly floated up. "If that's the case, I must respond with full power to keep the excitement going."
Instantly, the group facing Kyomu grew solemn. Kyomu's earlier performance wasn't his full strength?
What would his full strength be like...
Swish.
In a flash, Kyomu vanished, leaving only a fading purple lightning arc where he stood.
His speed was suffocating!
The weakest Yagura's expression changed as Kyomu appeared behind him.
A simple horizontal slash.
Clang! Yagura raised his blade to block, but it only held for a moment before being cut in half.
The blade continued, Yagura's heart skipping a beat.
Whoosh.
Water Transformation!
Kyomu's blade bisected Yagura, but his timely transformation nullified the physical attack.
But.
Zap!
The purple lightning arcs around Kyomu's body spread to his blade, covering Yagura's water-transformed body.
The lightning arcs began disintegrating Yagura's body, evaporating him in less than a second.
And the lightning arcs restricted Yagura's water body, preventing it from reforming, leaving him helpless.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!
Sasori summoned his human puppet masterpiece, the Third Kazekage, who unleashed a barrage of iron sand.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The sound of the iron sand was accompanied by the Fourth Raikage's charge.
Wearing his Lightning Release Armor, he aimed a powerful punch at Kyomu's head.
Kyomu was now being attacked from front and back.
His right hand held the blade in Yagura's body. Turning, he kicked the Fourth Raikage in the chest.
Boom.
The Fourth Raikage flew like a cannonball, landing a thousand meters away, creating a crater.
Next, Kyomu's left hand gathered lightning, forming a blade.
Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!
Swinging the lightning blade, he cleared a path through the iron sand rain, creating a safe zone.
At this moment, Yagura, filled with despair, never expected to fall so quickly.
He was the weakest, but not weak enough to be instantly killed.
Kyomu was too strong...
Sizzle.
Yagura's water body evaporated, leaving only a scroll on the ground.
It was the scroll used by the Mist Village to seal the seven ninja swords, now proof of Yagura's presence.
With a toe tap, Kyomu picked up the scroll and caught it in his hand.
One must keep their spoils.
Gracefully turning, Kyomu quickly switched to a two-handed grip, slashing down with all his might.
Slash! A hundred-meter black blade aura appeared, striking the massive Tailed Beast Ball.
The Nine-Tails' attack had arrived.
Crack! The blade aura split the Tailed Beast Ball in half, narrowly missing Kyomu and striking the Nine-Tails' head.
Boom! Three simultaneous explosions occurred. The Nine-Tails stumbled, its hind legs and tails raised, while its front legs and head were forced into the ground.
The exploding Tailed Beast Ball caused some impact on Kyomu.
But with a toe tap, Kyomu turned into a streak of light, escaping the explosion's aftermath.
Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!
Onoki attacked, a massive white cube descending on Kyomu.
An upgrade from the original Particle Style, the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu was larger, more powerful, and had sustained attack capability.
Boom, boom, boom!
The giant white cube continued to destroy the area, growing larger as it attacked.
When it reached its limit, the unstable Bloodline Elimination force erupted, turning the area white.
The cube then disintegrated, becoming a pure energy shockwave sweeping outward.
"Is it over?" Onoki gasped. "With the space ability sealed, you couldn't have escaped..."
Before his thoughts ended, Onoki's pupils shrank as a shadow flashed by.
Earth Release: Earth-Style Golem! Reacting quickly, a giant rock arm emerged, grabbing Onoki and moving him to safety.
This was Onoki's signature defensive jutsu, combining full defense with mobility and some offensive capability.
But Earth Release was still Earth Release, vulnerable to Lightning Release.
A purple lightning blade flashed, slicing through the rock arm and half its fist.
Onoki, now exposed, was cut in half by the blade, barely clinging to life.
"You shouldn't have been able to use space abilities... why... are you unharmed?"
Slash.
Kyomu beheaded Onoki, finally speaking.
"You overlooked that Kekkai Tota can disintegrate everything, including the sealing space around us.
And my space bloodline limit was only restricted, not completely unusable.
Rest in peace. I will take good care of Iwagakure."
With that, Kyomu turned, clashing fists with the charging Fourth Raikage.
Boom! The shockwave erupted, but the Fourth Raikage didn't budge.
"Finally fighting seriously?" Kyomu observed the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor. "You've perfected the extreme Lightning Release Chakra Mode your father developed."
"Kyomu, you will die today!"
The Raikage's yellow hair darkened, clearly using his life force.
Turning, he kicked with immense speed, power, and explosive force.
Boom.
Kyomu, blocking with both hands, was sent flying but unharmed, his fighting spirit reaching its peak.
Fighting to the death was the ultimate thrill!
"Fukasaku, Shima, please!" Jiraiya entered Sage Mode with the help of the two toads.
Boom.
Leaping forward, Jiraiya charged at Kyomu, forming a massive Rasengan.
Sage Art: Super Giant Rasengan!
Aiming, he slammed down! Sasori's Third Kazekage puppet attacked simultaneously.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand Cube! Rasa, standing beside Sasori, didn't mind the puppet and joined the attack.
Magnet Release: Gold Sand Cube! Instantly, four solid cubes surrounded Kyomu from above, below, and both sides, limiting his movement, with Jiraiya's massive Rasengan coming from behind.
A deadlock?
No, just a grander stage.
Kyomu flipped his blade, infusing it with vast chakra.
Absolute Defense: Sealing Field, Open!
