When the trump card, the Shinigami, became useless, everyone realized it was over.
'Over, completely over. We had bet the future of the ninja world on the victory of capturing the tailed beasts, and all of it had already turned into nothing with the death of the Two-Tails Matatabi and the intervention of the Sage of Six Paths.'
'We had no other choice, we could only quietly swallow this bitter fruit of humiliation.....'
"Master, I won't disturb you! I'll get going first."
The Shinigami hurriedly cupped his hands.
As soon as the words fell, he reacted quickly. The cold, sinister aura around his body rapidly withdrew, wishing he could shrink back into the void in an instant, without even the slightest intention of staying.
This sudden scene left the entire eight-clan allied army dumbfounded.
Everyone stood frozen in place, their faces filled with absurdity and despair.
The members of the Uzumaki clan were even paler than paper.
Only at this moment did they belatedly realize, the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, which their clan had always been proud of and regarded as the ultimate trump card, was not some secret technique passed down within the clan at all, but a jutsu personally created by the Sage of Six Paths before them.
The lifeline they were clutching had originally been granted by the very person in front of them. How could it be used to fight against him?
"Shinigami!? You can't leave! I can't bear to part with you!"
"Without you, how am I supposed to live!?"
The Uzumaki clan head completely panicked. Looking at the fading phantom of the Shinigami, he begged hoarsely with all his strength.
Hearing this, the Shinigami's phantom face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Shinigami: I won't even spare you a glance!
Watching the Shinigami run away and everyone's morale completely collapse, the Shimura clan head's eyes nearly split as he cursed in fury, his eyes turning completely red.
"Damn it, none of these people are reliable. I'll have to do it myself!"
He was already a ruthless and aggressive person. Now that things had come to this, there was no way out, so he simply chose to stake everything on one desperate gamble.
The Shimura clan head was ruthless and spoke little.
He directly tightened his grip on the kunai in his hand, stomped hard with his foot, and his figure shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, charging fiercely toward Arisu, "Today, I'll compete with the heavens to see who stands higher!"
The Shimura clan head roared, throwing all his chakra into a desperate charge at Arisu!
But in the face of this fearless assault,
Arisu couldn't even be bothered to look at him.
The invisible force around him gave a light tremor. In just an instant, the Shimura clan head, who had rushed close, was instantly enveloped by a terrifying repulsive force.
Puff!
A dull explosion of blood mist sounded. The Shimura clan head didn't even manage to get close to Arisu before being crushed into a sky full of blood mist by that supreme power, leaving not even the slightest trace behind. He was utterly dead.
"The Shimura clan head is dead!?", Someone let out a terrified scream first.
The allied ninjas, who had still been holding onto the thought of making a final desperate stand, witnessed with their own eyes how the powerful Shimura clan head was so easily killed in an instant, without even the slightest chance to resist.
The last bit of courage in their hearts completely collapsed.
Fear surged like a tide and drowned everyone.
"Everyone run! The Shimura clan head is dead!"
Panicked shouts rose one after another. The originally somewhat orderly formation of the allied army instantly fell apart.
No one cared about their companions anymore, no one cared about formation. They scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing madly in all directions, only wanting to get as far away as possible from this terrifying great sage in front of them.
Uchiha Shuhaku and Senju Hiruka stood at the front of the crowd. Seeing the scene of the Shimura clan head turning into blood mist in an instant, their hearts sank sharply, and a chill spread through their entire bodies.
The strength of the two of them was already not much different from Clan Head Shimura's. Even he had been killed so easily in an instant. If they resisted, their end would only be exactly the same.
At this point, if they didn't run, what were they waiting for?
"Everyone, run! Split up and run!"
Senju Hiruka reacted and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to organize everyone to scatter and break through.
But when he turned his head to look, his pupils suddenly shrank, the three clan heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho, who had been standing beside him just moments ago, had already taken advantage of everyone being stunned and slipped away without a sound.
The three clan heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho didn't even care about their own clansmen. They directly took a side path and ran.
"What the hell!? Where's our clan head?!"
"I swear! That damn bastard clan head actually ditched us and ran on his own!"
"Stop pushing me! If you want to live, don't crash into each other!"
"Run! Ah! My leg! Who stepped on me!"
In an instant, the entire battlefield completely fell into chaos. Crying, cursing, and screams tangled together!
The allied ninja forces shoved and trampled over each other, fleeing like mad toward the rear. There wasn't even a trace left of the so-called top combat strength of the eight great ninja clans... only a group of desperate fugitives driven by fear.
Truly, a mob of rabble.
Shukaku quickly shouted toward Arisu ahead, "Teacher, they're running! If we let this continue, these people will completely scatter!"
Hearing this, Arisu still stood silently in place, his face gloomy, his eyes filled only with cold, lifeless indifference.
In the void behind him, pitch-black Truth-Seeking Orbs continued to condense and appear... one, ten, a hundred…
In the end, more than a hundred Truth-Seeking Orbs fully formed, densely floating behind him,
like a black curtain of stars covering the sky. Each one contained terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth, slowly rotating as they released a pressure that could shatter souls.
The next second, Arisu's figure suddenly moved. So fast that not even an afterimage was left behind, he vanished from his original spot in an instant.
In less than a blink, Arisu's figure had already appeared tens of thousands of meters high in the sky. His robe fluttered wildly in the fierce high-altitude winds, and over a hundred Truth-Seeking Orbs surrounded him.
At this moment, the Tenseigan on Arisu's forehead suddenly lit up, erupting with an incomparably brilliant pale blue light!
Carrying a divine might that stood above everything in the world, it pierced through space and crushed all things.
The light grew brighter and brighter, finally condensing into a terrifying beam as thick as a mountain, which burst forth from the Tenseigan without any warning.
This beam was like heavenly punishment descending from the heavens, wrapped in endless brilliance and destructive force, blasting straight toward the fleeing allied army below.
In an instant, blinding white light filled the entire world. Everything between heaven and earth was swallowed by this extreme brightness.
Whether it was the fleeing ninjas or the shattered land, all lost their original outlines within the white light, leaving behind only a vast, blank chaos.
Rumble!!
A deafening roar exploded, as if the heavens collapsed and the world shattered. Terrifying energy waves spread wildly in all directions from where the beam struck. Wherever they passed, space itself twisted violently.
The eight-clan allied ninjas who were desperately fleeing below only felt their vision pierced by intense light.
They couldn't even let out a scream or make a single move to dodge. In the next moment, they were completely swallowed and torn apart by this world-destroying energy.
Uchiha Shuhaku, Senju Hiruka, the Uzumaki clan head, the Sarutobi clan head, and the tens of thousands of allied ninjas who had thrown away their armor and only cared about escaping...
No matter their strength, no matter where they were... under the destructive power of this Tenseigan heavenly punishment beam.
None of them had even the slightest ability to resist. Not even a trace was left behind as they were completely erased in an instant, vanishing entirely from this world.
The battlefield, which had just been filled with noise, chaos, and fleeing figures, instantly fell into dead silence.
Only the lingering energy fluctuations drifted through the air.
Arisu stood in the sky, surrounded by over a hundred Truth-Seeking Orbs. With a movement of his Rinnegan, he instantly captured the souls of the dead ninja army.
Thus, the souls of tens of thousands of ninjas were all drawn into the Totsuka Blade by Arisu.
"I won't let you die so easily..."
