As the Land of Lightning became a molten hell and Amegakure lay in ruins, the fate of the Land of Water had already been sealed beneath the shadow of countless falling stars.
Kirigakure was shrouded year-round in dense mist. Built on an island in the Land of Water and surrounded by an endless ocean, its uniquely defensible location had once protected it from foreign invaders.
But before this cataclysm, which could destroy heaven and earth, that same geography became a shackle hastening its demise. The ocean could not stop the stars from falling; it could only swallow their wreckage into the endless depths.
At first, countless stars tore through the clouds and plunged into the seas surrounding the Land of Water. The scorching stars collided violently with the cold ocean, instantly raising tsunamis thousands of meters high. Towering waves swept toward the island where Kirigakure stood, carrying the force of destruction.
The roar of waves crashing against the shore was even more deafening than the stars' impacts. The towering waves tore through the dense mist, revealing the full chaos of Kirigakure—
In the streets, civilians and ninja fled in a panic. Some scrambled toward higher ground on the island; others tried to escape by boat. But against tsunamis thousands of meters high, their struggles were as insignificant as dust.
Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura had already broken free of Obito Uchiha's control. Tailed Beast Chakra surged around him, while Isobu's power raged within his body.
He stood at Kirigakure's highest point, gazing at the stars raining from the sky and the tsunamis sweeping toward him. His eyes were filled with blood-red resolve. He knew Kirigakure was on the brink of destruction, and so was the Land of Water. But he had no choice. He could only fight with all his might
