Genki stood at the center of Susanoo's brow, his Nine Magatama Sharingan coldly observing the destruction below.
He could clearly feel the countless souls wailing and struggling within the black hole, feel the despair of those past traitors and murderers, yet his heart remained unmoved.
He remembered his mother Hazuki shielding him with fierce determination, remembered his sister Izumi's gentle instructions, remembered the blood and despair of the Uchiha Clan Downfall—these pains were far more piercing than the current wails of the ninja world.
"Mother, Sister, wait for me a little longer," Genki whispered softly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible tremor. "Wait until I've completely ended all this, and then I'll come find you. No matter how many parallel universes I have to shatter, no matter the price, I will bring you back."
Time trickled by, and the entire landscape of the ninja world rapidly vanished.
The once prosperous ninja world was gradually swallowed by the black hole, leaving behind only a void of distorted space.
The black hole in Susanoo Armor's palm slowly contracted, eventually transforming into a wisp of dark energy, which Susanoo absorbed and refined.
Genki controlled Susanoo Armor as it slowly descended, landing on a completely void land.
This was once the heart of the ninja world, but now only endless darkness and deathly silence remained.
Susanoo Armor's body began to slowly disintegrate, dispersing into countless black Chakra particles that vanished into the air.
Genki's figure descended from the center of Susanoo's brow. His dark crimson robe fluttered in the wind. He raised his head, his Nine Magatama Sharingan gazing towards the sky, a determined light flickering in his eyes.
The ninja world had been utterly destroyed.
The hatred had been completely extinguished.
From this moment on, his sole objective was to resurrect his mother and sister.
Genki slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his Nine Magatama Sharingan erupted with a dazzling halo—he intended to open a spatial-temporal tunnel to a parallel universe to find a way to revive his loved ones.
Even if endless darkness and the unknown lay ahead, even if he had to defy the rules of all parallel universes, he would never retreat.
"Wait for me, Mother, Sister."
Genki's voice echoed across the void land. Then, his figure transformed into a streak of black light, rushing into the spatial-temporal rift in the sky, and disappearing.
All that remained was a completely silent void, witnessing the end of the ninja world, and bearing the most persistent obsession of a vengeful soul.
The shockwave from the blue Tailed Beast Bomb had yet to dissipate when the Ten-Tails' colossal Tailed Beast Bomb roared out from the center of the energy vortex like a ferocious beast breaking free from its chains!
On the surface of the black sphere, crimson lightning grew more violent. The trajectory, previously constrained by the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb, instantly corrected itself. With even more terrifying power than before, it barreled directly towards the Allied Forces' position—the explosion of eight blue Tailed Beast Bombs had only momentarily slowed it, failing to even shatter its outer energy barrier!
"Pfft—!" Killer B, controlling the Eight-Tails, was violently thrown back by the shockwave. One of the Eight-Tails' heads was severely injured, its blue Chakra fluctuating wildly. A large amount of Tailed Beast liquid oozed from its mouth.
"Damn it... this thing is too damn tough!" He tried with all his might to condense another Tailed Beast Bomb to block it, but his Chakra, having just undergone a massive burst, was sluggish and couldn't keep up with the speed of the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.
Shikamaru stood on a dirt slope, the hand seals at his fingertips abruptly halting. The frown beneath his green headband was twisted into a knot, and cold sweat trickled down his cheeks.
He could clearly feel that the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb's energy far exceeded their estimations. The double-layered Earth Style Wall he had constructed moments ago probably wouldn't hold for even a second!
"Everyone! Reinforce the Earth Style Wall with all your might! Don't hold back any Chakra!" His roar exploded through the Mental Network, carrying a hint of barely perceptible urgency—this was a rare moment of panic in his otherwise meticulously planned life.
The ninja within the Allied Forces were already fighting with bloodshot eyes. Upon hearing the order, they frantically poured their remaining Chakra into the Earth Style Wall.
The barrier, which had been emitting a faint yellow glow, instantly became thick and heavy. The patterns on the wall's surface grew clearer, but facing the unstoppable black Tailed Beast Bomb, all of it still seemed pale and powerless.
"Crack—!!!"
The Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb instantly struck the first Earth Style Wall. The black energy spread like a tide. The thick earth wall instantly developed spiderweb-like cracks. The cracks expanded rapidly, and in the next second, it collapsed with a roar, turning into a sky full of dirt and gravel.
Following that, the Tailed Beast Bomb, its momentum undiminished, struck the second Earth Style Wall. The same scene repeated—the defenses constructed with the combined efforts of tens of thousands of ninja were as fragile as paper in the face of destruction.
An aura of despair instantly enveloped the entire Allied Forces' position.
Some ninja trembled in fear, while others frantically brandished their Ninja Tools, attempting to resist. However, they didn't even have the qualification to get close to the Tailed Beast Bomb before being blown away and vaporized by the surrounding energy shockwave.
On the battlefield, dust obscured the sky. The smell of blood and the violent Chakra intertwined into a suffocating haze. Every inch of air trembled violently under the Ten-Tails' pressure.
Ino Yamanaka knelt on the muddy ground, her knees deep in bloodstains. Her hands maintained the hand seal posture for the Mental Network, her fingertips turning white from excessive force, with dirt and blood scabs embedded even under her fingernails.
Sweat beads rolled down her temples like a broken string of pearls, cascading down her pale cheeks and splashing onto the ground, instantly swallowed by the mud. Her hair was already soaked with sweat, clinging to her neck and bringing a bone-chilling cold.
"Ugh—!"
The intense mental strain made Ino let out a suppressed groan. Her temples throbbed violently, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing her brain simultaneously. The edges of her consciousness darkened.
She could clearly sense her mental energy depleting at a visible rate. The previously condensed, silk-like pale purple mental threads were now swaying violently like a spiderweb in a strong wind. Fine cracks rapidly spread across the threads, and some threads, unable to bear the load, snapped with a "crack," turning into specks of pale purple light that dissipated into the chaotic battlefield air.
The fluctuations of the Mental Network grew more intense. The communication channels connecting the consciousness of hundreds of Allied Forces ninja were on the verge of collapse—once the network shattered, the Allied Forces' communication would be completely severed, leaving each unit isolated and helpless, facing the fate of being hunted and annihilated by the Ten-Tails one by one.
Ino bit her lower lip fiercely, her teeth sinking deeply into the soft flesh. The strong taste of blood filled her mouth. With the last shred of her conviction, she let out a hoarse, broken cry, filled with extreme anxiety and despair: "Shikamaru! I can't hold on! The Mental Network is about to... about to collapse!"
