This... Is the Power of God!

"Then, let me have some fun now!"

As soon as he spoke, the Azure Dragon behind Menma moved.

Moving like a ghost, its body like a phantom, it charged at A and B in an instant.

"It's coming."

Lightning flared violently around A as he raised his head, his expression grave as he watched the Snake Summoning Beast.

Rumble!!

The Azure Dragon's enormous tail crashed down upon the two from above.

The trees throughout the forest were instantly pulverized by that single blow, and the terrifying force made the ground tremble.

Where A and B had originally stood had long since become a massive crater, while two streaks of lightning slowly dissipated.

Crackle!!

A had already leaped into the air, concentrating Lightning Release Chakra into a high-intensity current in his hand before diving toward Menma.

"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"

This was a razor-sharp inherited hand blade, honed through bone-shattering training until it was as swift as a flash of light!

A had once used this move to sever the Eight-Tails' left horn with one hand.

Meanwhile, Killer B had dropped onto all fours, no longer resembling a human. Yin-Yang Chakra gathered in his mouth into a sphere at a ratio of two to eight.

A small Tailed Beast Ball used in a half-Tailed Beast transformation.

The two had extremely rich combat experience.

Just before the Azure Dragon reached them, they had used Lightning Substitutes to narrowly evade it.

Then they immediately unleashed killing moves, without wasting a single word.

Yet A, high in the air, still wore a grim expression.

He had seen it.

Nine circles bearing different symbols had appeared behind that Masked Man, and this snake-like Summoning Beast was merely one of them.

"Could there be eight more Summoning Beasts just as powerful?!"

Just as Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop was about to strike, Menma suddenly raised his head.

Though the mask concealed his face, A had an inexplicable feeling at that moment.

"This bastard... he's smiling!"

A had assumed the Masked Man would dodge as he had before, and he had long prepared a follow-up attack.

But it was not until he felt the solid impact against his hand that he realized it.

That attack had actually landed!!

But...

Bang!!

Menma looked down at the Fourth Raikage beneath him, tilted his head, and smiled. "Huh? I haven't even attacked yet. How did you already fall?"

The Fourth Raikage suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. With a stunned expression, he turned to look at his right hand.

The bones in his palm had been completely destroyed, and he had no idea how many bones throughout his body had broken...

Was I under genjutsu?

The sensation had clearly been that of a direct hit, but how could anyone take Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop head-on and remain completely unscathed?

No!

A's pupils abruptly constricted.

That sensation from before, and the rebounding force that followed!

Menma smiled when he saw his reaction. "Oh? You figured it out?"

This move had been inspired by the Hyuga Clan's [Rotation], an ability similar to Shinra Tensei.

But it did not repel. It tore things apart.

Its principle was like Kaguya Otsutsuki's Byakugan Pressure. The Hyuga Clan's Rotation required high-speed spinning, while Pressure only needed to convert excessive Chakra into blade-like currents of Chakra.

"This move is useful, but it burns through Chakra a little too fast."

Feeling that half the Chakra in this clone had vanished, Menma grumbled inwardly.

Just then.

"B!!"

The Fourth Raikage let out a low shout, both hands clamping tightly around Menma's legs and forcibly pinning him in place.

At the same time, a savage surge of Chakra erupted. Without hesitation, Killer B spat out the small Tailed Beast Ball in his mouth.

Were they trying to force a one-for-one trade?

Even Menma was somewhat surprised by the sight.

Sure enough, one should never underestimate the "Kage" of a major ninja village.

That kind of resolve was not something ordinary people possessed.

Unfortunately...

"Is this all you've got?"

A cold glint flashed through Menma's eyes. He spread his five fingers, grabbed A's arm, and violently slammed him into the ground!

Crack...

A clear sound of bones breaking rang out as blood slowly seeped across the ground!

Pff!!

Both of A's arms shattered, and his face twisted in agony.

The next moment.

"Th-This... what is that?!"

Under the Fourth Raikage's horrified gaze, Menma half-clenched his right hand. A pitch-black sphere, surrounded by rings of light resembling a Star Ring, condensed in his palm.

An enormous amount of Chakra surged and roared, gathering at an absurd speed and releasing waves that made people tremble.

The immense pressure rose sharply, its rapidly increasing weight shaking the soul.

"I've had enough fun."

Menma spoke calmly, with a smile in his voice. "If you can't block this move, then just die."

The Tailed Beast Ball came straight at him, while Menma threw the black sphere in his hand as if tossing a bowling ball.

At the same time.

A hundred Cloud Ninjas had arrived within ten kilometers of the battlefield.

They were troops stationed along the border.

Although Menma's battle with A and B had been intense, it had lasted less than half an hour in total.

After the reconnaissance ninjas discovered the anomaly, the Cloud Village forces had rushed over immediately.

"We just received word that Lord A and Lord B personally headed to the front line. The one fighting now should be him..."

A Cloud Ninja who looked like a captain was speaking.

But before he could finish—

Another Cloud Ninja casually looked up, and the impatience on his face instantly turned to blank shock.

"Th-That... what is that?!"

The Cloud Ninja Captain frowned, turned around, and looked up.

The next moment.

Rumble~!!!

A clearly visible Tailed Beast Ball collided with an almost imperceptible black sphere.

Every obstacle ahead, whether trees or mountains, was violently pierced through by the two.

It was like a small Meteorite striking the earth.

Yet at the instant of collision, blazing light erupted wildly. It was like another dazzling sun, instantly illuminating the entire area.

As the light faded, white, cloud-like smoke rose and scattered under the violent impact, obscuring all vision.

The roaring sound nearly ruptured the eardrums of the Cloud Ninjas.

After the deafening explosion, that small sphere actually began to reverse the terrifying power of the Tailed Beast Ball bit by bit, while the horrific shockwave ravaged everything.

Wherever it passed, the ground crumbled, countless fragments of stone were hurled into the air, and the enormous aftershock of the explosion swept across the entire valley in an instant.

Within such a violent storm, countless trees were uprooted, while rocks crumbled into innumerable fragments the moment they came into contact with it.

Whether Cloud Village Elite Jonin or ordinary Cloud Village genin,

Before the terrifying aftershock of heat, the moisture in their bodies nearly evaporated. They felt as though they were about to ignite, and their faces all turned deathly pale with fear.

Die die die die die!!!

As they personally experienced the explosion before them, an intense premonition of death screamed madly through their minds. Despair and terror crushed every other thought.

They had even completely lost the will to run.

"Is this... the power of God...?"

Before such divine might, everyone was like rootless duckweed, like tiny ants.
