In midair, Shinichi suddenly exerted force through his waist. The muscles in his arms bulged like dragons as he used his body as an axis, beginning to swing and spin the staff violently!
"Clang!"
First rotation! The Adamantine Nyoi suddenly expanded! Its length broke past ten meters, and the head of the staff was as thick as a beam, the gale it generated pressing the trees below into submission!
"Whoosh!!"
Second rotation! The staff grew again! Its length reached twenty meters, and the head was as thick as a house. The red-gold light turned into tangible flames that wrapped around it, and the terrifying pressure caused the air to explode!
"Buzz!!!"
Third rotation! The Adamantine Nyoi had become a colossal object! Its length exceeded fifty meters, and the head was as thick as the base of a small hill. Each swing produced a deep, thunder-like rumble, as if even space itself trembled under its weight and speed!
"Boom!!!!"
Fourth rotation! The current limit Shinichi could achieve by pouring in all his chakra and power while building momentum through rotation!
The Adamantine Nyoi had transformed into a true pillar supporting the heavens, with a head diameter exceeding 30 meters and a length approaching 200 meters!
Its entire body flowed with molten gold-like crimson light. Merely hovering there, the shadow it cast was enough to cover nearly half of the battlefield!
Carrying the terrifying kinetic energy accumulated from four rotations, along with overwhelming power and thunderous roaring winds, it crashed down toward the densest area of the Village Hidden in the Sand's formation in the simplest, most violent, and most unstoppable manner!
'Damn it! Is that the Adamantine Nyoi of that old monkey, Hiruzen Sarutobi!? Has he come too!?'
Ebizo's heart shook violently in shock, his pupils shrinking, but he was, after all, a seasoned top ninja who had crawled out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. His reaction was extremely fast!
His hands instantly formed seals, and chakra surged out like a flood breaking through a dam!
Wind Style: Divine Wind!
A terrifying gale, comparable to a natural hurricane, so condensed it was nearly tangible, took shape before him and shot upward, blocking the descending pillar's path!
Faced with this devastating attack, Ebizo chose to block it head-on. He could dodge, but if this strike landed, most of the people here would likely be killed or injured.
Almost at the same time, the Sunagakure Jonins around him, who reacted extremely quickly, all had their expressions change drastically and unleashed their own techniques!
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!"
More than a dozen thick earthen walls rose from the ground!
"Wind Style: Air Bullets!"
Dense wind projectiles howled upward!
"Puppet Technique: Iron Wall Shield!"
More than a dozen massive puppets raised shields above their heads!
Various defensive Ninjutsus were activated simultaneously in a hasty attempt to block the devastating blow that was falling from the sky!
"Rumble!!!!"
In the next second, an indescribably terrifying explosion swallowed everything! It was the ultimate collision of pure power and absolute defense!
The two-hundred-meter pillar slammed solidly into the wind wall and layers of defense!
Blinding light erupted instantly, causing everyone to go temporarily blind!
What followed was a tidal wave-like shockwave capable of tearing eardrums apart. Centered on the point of impact, ring-shaped shockwaves spread wildly. Wherever they passed, trees snapped at their roots, and rocks shattered like paper!
The ground cracked, bulged, and exploded layer by layer like a fragile biscuit!
A massive crater with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters formed instantly!
Soil, rocks, and broken wood were swept dozens of meters into the air, mixing with chaotic streams of chakra to form a small yet terrifying mushroom cloud that slowly rose into the night sky!
The carefully arranged offensive formation of five hundred Sunagakure ninjas was completely thrown into disarray by this strike that resembled a natural disaster!
Although thanks to Ebizo and the surrounding Jonins' timely defenses, there were no massive immediate casualties, the shockwave left everyone's blood in turmoil. Blood flowed from their ears and noses, their formation collapsed, and they were disoriented, completely losing organized offensive capability for a short time!
Some stood in place, ears bleeding, swaying in confusion. Some were thrown down by the blast, pinned under their companions, and unable to get up. Some barely stood while supporting themselves with weapons, unable even to distinguish direction.
At this moment, the Village Hidden in the Sand line fell into total chaos.
Within the Konoha camp, all the ninjas who witnessed this world-destroying strike, whether combat personnel or medical and logistics staff, were completely speechless and petrified.
Was that really something a human could swing?
No one even noticed that, after delivering this shocking strike, Shinichi Higashino quietly turned into a puff of white smoke, which dissipated into the chaotic air currents under the cover of dust and light.
…
At the same time, in the Land of Iron, Akazonae City, in the dojo's backyard.
"Bang!"
A dull sound of something heavy hitting the ground broke the quiet of the night in the courtyard.
This was followed by rough, urgent breathing.
Genya Yamagami, who noticed the disturbance, rushed out first. Holding the hilt of his sword, he scanned the courtyard vigilantly, then saw his teacher, Isshin, whose face was pale, kneeling on one knee and gasping heavily, sweat pouring from his forehead.
"Sensei!"
Genya Yamagami hurried forward, trying to support him. "What happened? Is there an enemy?!"
At almost the same time, Dosaku Uzumaki and Kicho Uzumaki rushed out of their rooms.
Seeing Isshin's condition, both were startled.
Kicho Uzumaki immediately stepped forward, extending her arm and revealing her fair wrist as she urgently said, "Isshin-sama, quickly bite my arm! My chakra can help you recover…"
"Huff… no need, I'm fine."
Isshin pushed her hand away, raised his head, glanced at the three of them, and directly instructed: "Go! Bring me all the food I made this morning."
The talent, Gourmet, granted him a powerful ability to digest food, and also allowed the food he personally made to possess a miraculous effect, turning decay into something extraordinary, in a sense like stepping on his own foot to rise.
Therefore, he would occasionally prepare some food for himself in advance. If not for the fact that these foods would gradually lose their miraculous effects over time, he would have made a large amount all at once.
...
On the battlefield, that gigantic pillar that seemed to hold up the sky did not disappear after delivering the world-destroying strike.
Boom!!!
The staff suddenly contracted, and the two-hundred-meter giant staff reverted in the blink of an eye to that towering, mountain-like silver-white body.
Monkey King Enma appeared in its true form!
Like a meteor, it crashed heavily down from dozens of meters in the air into the Village Hidden in the Sand's formation!
Boom!!!
Where it landed, the ground collapsed, rubble scattered, and several Sunagakure ninjas who failed to dodge in time were blown away by the shockwave, spurting blood wildly from their mouths.
Monkey King Enma gave the enemy no chance to catch their breath. Its golden pupils swiftly swept across the chaotic crowd around it. That massive body now resembled an out-of-control giant war chariot, rampaging through the Village Hidden in the Sand's formation with unstoppable destructive force!
Bang!
With a single punch, a Sunagakure Chunin attempting to form hand seals exploded together with the Mud Wall behind him!
Boom!
With one step down, the ground caved into a pit. Three Sunagakure ninjas lost their footing and were thrown to the ground, only to be crushed into pulp by the giant shadow that followed immediately after!
