BOOOM!
A deafening roar echoed throughout the battlefield.
The 2,000 Cloud troops, the over 8,000 Rock troops, and the over 2,000 Konoha troops were stunned. The entire battlefield fell into complete silence...
"What...what is happening?"
"It can't be!"
"What the hell happened? We're in the middle of a battle, and a giant turtle falls from the sky!"
"GRRRROOOAAARRR!!"
Isobu, the Three-Tails, slowly got up from the crater it had created upon landing, lifting its imposing head and proudly looking around. A smug smile formed on its face as it declared:
"I am the magnificent Three-Tails, and I command you all to stop fighting for now!"
After these words, it stood taller, radiating majesty.
"Damn it! How did the Three-Tails get here?"
"That giant turtle is the legendary tailed beast!"
"The Three-Tails... falling from the sky? This is insane!"
All the ninjas on the battlefield exchanged looks of amazement. No one expected the giant turtle to actually be the dreaded Three-Tails.
"Huh?"
The Raikage frowned, about to say something, but was interrupted by an even more deafening roar.
"Turtle!! What the hell are you doing here? This is no place to show off."
"GGRRROOOOARRR!!"
With a violent voice that reverberated across the battlefield, Killer B, who had been observing the situation, quickly transformed. His body expanded in seconds, turning into the massive bull with tentacle-like tails: the Eight-Tails.
"Oh, well... Look who we have here!"
Isobu looked at Gyūki without a hint of concern and responded slowly with a mocking tone:
"Must be awful being stuck in a Jinchūriki's body, huh? Meanwhile, I'm free and go wherever I please."
"You're asking to get crushed!"
Gyūki radiated an aura of pure ferocity, his massive body beginning to move forward as he growled:
"If you don't disappear right now, don't blame me for what I'm going to do."
He had initially only wanted to observe the war, but Isobu's presence had enraged him.
Isobu let out a sarcastic laugh:
"Go ahead, octopus! Come and show me how strong you are, if you dare!"
"Damn you, Isobu! Someone needs to teach you a lesson..."
Swiisshhh!
The Eight-Tails charged forward. With a sound that cut through the air, his massive body moved like lightning, and his eight tentacles twisted in the air to attack Isobu with all his strength.
"Boss, help me!"
Realizing the situation wasn't in his favor, Isobu let out a desperate cry before withdrawing his head and limbs into his shell.
!!!!!
"This isn't good...! I feel a terrifying presence!"
Suddenly, Gyūki felt a chill run down his entire body, as if something truly horrifying was watching him.
BOOOM!
Without warning, an immense force struck his head, smashing him directly into the ground. The impact shattered the earth, raising a huge cloud of dust.
"WHO THE HELL IS THIS?!"
Gyūki roared at the sky, furious and confused. His entire body was imbued with majestic chakra as he began to form a Bijūdama with a deafening roar.
Whoever it is, they're going to pay for this!
BOOOM!
Before he could even complete the Bijūdama, another brutal force struck his head, causing him to fall back to the ground.
The Bijūdama dissipated with a muffled sound from Gyūki's mouth, which expelled a cloud of white smoke.
"WHO THE HELL IS THIS??"
Hit twice without even seeing his attacker, Gyūki displayed an expression of pure terror.
But this was just the beginning.
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, a figure moved at an impossible speed, grabbing the horn of the Eight-Tails, lifting the massive bull, and slamming him into the ground.
Baaang!!!
Baaang!!!
The battlefield shook with each impact as the Eight-Tails was slammed repeatedly into the ground, forming a huge crater. Finally, Gyūki's body was thrown in front of the Kumogakure army, like a useless toy.
In the blink of an eye, the figure stood calmly atop the Three-Tails' shell with a calm and dominant attitude.
ABSOLUTE SILENCE!
The entire battlefield fell into deep silence. From the taunts between the Three-Tails and the Eight-Tails to the brutal subjugation of the Eight-Tails, less than ten seconds had passed.
And those ten seconds had been enough to sow fear in the hearts of countless ninjas.
Gyūki couldn't even complete a Bijūdama before being utterly defeated.
When all eyes focused on the figure atop the Three-Tails' shell, they seemed petrified, motionless, with expressions of pure astonishment.
"WHAT...!!!"
"Luo Lei-sama is here!"
"Our superhero from Konoha has arrived!"
"We're saved! Saved!"
A few seconds later, the Konoha ninjas were the first to react, shouting with joy and euphoria on their faces.
For them, this surprise had arrived like a divine blessing. Facing the armies of two villages, they had lost all hope, thinking death was imminent. Minato Namikaze had tried to save them, but the circumstances were too dire.
And what was the result?
Luo Lei appeared on the battlefield like a god, subduing the Eight-Tails with astounding ease. This miracle renewed the hopes of all Konoha ninjas. There was only one thought in their hearts: the Superhero, Luo Lei, had come to save them all.
"Luo Lei is here!?"
The Raikage's expression instantly turned grim; his body unconsciously entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, electricity radiating everywhere.
"How the hell is that possible?" A and the other members were left slack-jawed, their eyes nearly popping out, unable to comprehend seeing the Eight-Tails humiliated by Luo Lei.
"Luo Lei is here...!!"
The over 2,000 Cloud ninjas were ready to fight, their hearts burning with the spirit of battle.
But seeing Luo Lei's imposing figure standing atop the Three-Tails' shell, fear overtook them like a cold wave.
Confidence crumbled; their voices trembled, barely able to speak.
Perhaps the Kumogakure army's ninjas had never seen Luo Lei in person,
But they knew the legends, the feats of his immense power. They had witnessed with their own eyes how he crushed the Eight-Tails, and they couldn't help but fear.
"Luo Lei is here!!"
"Do not be afraid! We are 8,000 ninjas!"
"A sea of people can crush even the mighty Luo Lei! Keep your spirits up and do not retreat!"
Directly at the front, the Tsuchikage's assistant took a deep breath, struggling to control his racing heartbeat, shouting to stabilize the army:
"We cannot fall here!"
"We are many! We can defeat him if we fight together!"
.....
The over 8,000 Rock ninjas were terrified.
But their numbers gave them some hope. They thought that with the sheer amount of ninjas present, victory was possible.
How could one man defeat them all?
Surely he'd exhaust himself... even if it was the legendary Luo Lei.
But they underestimated Luo Lei's inhuman strength.
"Damn you, scum, I want revenge...!"
The battered Eight-Tails let out a roar full of fury and pain.
Buuuummmmm!
His chakra began to overflow, the air around vibrating with almost palpable tension.
He had been crushed. He didn't even know what happened; he only felt someone grab him and mercilessly beat him.
Killer B, who had been watching all of this, said to Gyūki seriously:
"Gyūki, the one who defeated you is the God of Ninjas... Luo Lei."
"Is that the new ninja god...?"
Gyūki hesitated, moved his massive bull head, and looked towards the Three-Tails' shell.
He had heard about Luo Lei; he'd heard the stories from Killer B. But he never believed anyone could be that powerful. He thought Killer B was exaggerating. Now he realized that he hadn't exaggerated at all... He'd even been conservative!
Suddenly, he felt a chilling presence over him.
Luo Lei was looking directly into his eyes.
!!!!
Gyūki felt an indescribable terror; something in that gaze spoke of imminent death. Without thinking twice, he withdrew all the chakra he had released.
In the blink of an eye, the massive body of the Eight-Tails vanished, leaving only a stunned Killer B in the crater.
"Gyūki, what the hell is wrong with you?" He stood up shakily, completely bewildered. "You chickened out with just a look?! This is too embarrassing!"
"That gaze... reminds me of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha…" Gyūki sounded incredulous, and the lingering fear was still present in his voice.
"Bah!" Killer B nodded, resigned. "I get it. They call him the God of Ninjas for a reason."
"You don't understand..." Gyūki's voice was a whisper full of terror. "His power is greater than you imagine. If we can, we should retreat…"
But Killer B ignored the warning. The idea of fleeing was not something a Kumogakure ninja could easily accept. He approached A with determination.
"Are you okay?"
A, who had observed the entire scene, asked worriedly.
"The Eight-Tails was crushed, but I... am still standing." Killer B shook his head and said seriously. "With Luo Lei here, we're in serious trouble."
"Hmm!"
A frowned, displaying an extremely grave expression. "Let's see what Father has to say..."
….
With Luo Lei's arrival, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically. The Konoha army, which was almost on the brink of collapse, began to recover its morale. The ninjas reorganized, and a spark of hope ignited in their hearts.
"Phew!"
Tsunade, standing at the front of Konoha's group, exhaled deeply, releasing the tension that had paralyzed her. Feeling the relief coursing through her veins, she realized that Luo Lei's arrival had come at the perfect moment.
"He finally arrived…"
Jiraiya watched with a complicated expression. His feelings were a whirlwind. In the end, he could only shake his head, accepting the inevitable.
"..."
Minato looked at the kunai he held. He could feel that the course of the battle had changed; the opportunity to counterattack was before them.
"Luo Lei... you've finally arrived."
But just at that moment, seeing how Luo Lei, unassisted, was changing the course of the war, the Raikage clenched his fists, and from his body emerged an explosive aura, a shockwave of absolute power.
"Huh?"
Luo Lei smiled and vanished in the blink of an eye.
!!!!
The Raikage tried to react, but everything happened too quickly. Suddenly, Luo Lei was in front of him, his hand raised, ready to strike.
Smack!
Under the astonished gaze of thousands of ninjas, the Raikage, who had just released a terrifying aura, was thrown like a mere toy hundreds of meters away, crashing to the ground.
"Today... I'm going to destroy all of you."
Luo Lei's eyes glowed with a hellish crimson as he proclaimed with a dark smile:
"Ten thousand against me! This is going to be fun!"
