Pop—
Rumble!
An invisible ripple swept through the air, spreading rapidly for dozens of miles in every direction, with the Forest of Death at its center!
The chakra pressure was almost tangible, like an atomic bomb going off in the middle of a calm sea!
Its terrifying force swept across all of Konoha!
Everyone in the village who had been sleeping was jolted awake by the sheer force of it!
"Hissss—" Orochimaru licked his lips, staring excitedly toward the Forest of Death. His snake-like pupils narrowed. "This... this chakra... it's even more savage than the Nine-Tails?!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone, come with me to investigate!" The Anbu guarding the village sprang into action, instantly on high alert!
Alarm bells rang one after another throughout the streets!
Crack!
Bang!
Even many nearby light bulbs and windows were shattered by the impact of the powerful chakra!
"S-so scary!"
"Damn it! I just fixed that window, and now it's broken again!"
"What the hell is making all that noise?!"
"Yeah, this pressure is even scarier than the Nine-Tails' attack six years ago!"
Some villagers who had lived through the Nine-Tails' attack came trembling out of their homes.
Their faces were deathly pale, not a hint of color in them.
"Scarier than the Nine-Tails? How could such a powerful force exist in the Shinobi World?!"
Someone murmured, then cried out in shock.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he turned toward the source of the pressure and swallowed hard. "That's... the park? It can't be, it can't, it can't..."
Lord Jin!
In an instant, the name arose unbidden in the minds of the civilians gathering nearby.
Throughout all of Konoha—and even the entire Shinobi World!
There was only one person who could possibly give off such an overwhelming presence!
At the thought,
