Rampage on the Other Side

At the point where the landing Bio-Armor had struck, Aburame Tetsumaru and Butler were digging.

Working together, they controlled the destructive intensity of the vibrations Butler released, maximizing their speed as they excavated toward the planetary core.

Over the past seven minutes, they had dug down a mere seven kilometers. With the need to guard against attacks that could come at any moment, their excavation speed had been somewhat slow.

Suddenly, a violent shock struck. The mantle material surrounding the excavated passage collapsed, and the tunnel vanished.

But Aburame Tetsumaru had long since deployed a psychic barrier, holding back the magma surging down from above while forcing open several more kilometers of space around them.

He deliberately allowed the air and steam within the magma to leak inside, easing the pressure bearing down on him.

Butler was an absolute authority on vibrations and received detailed information from the impact.

Aburame Tetsumaru's expression remained unchanged, though his gaze darkened slightly. He nodded. "I received the information too."

Hatake Sakumo had been specifically requested for this operation. Beyond his formidable individual combat strength, the main reason was his extraordinary battlefield intuition. A mission deep behind enemy lines could not possibly leave him out.

Back then, on a desert less than a million square kilometers in size, he had played hide-and-seek
