Rumble, rumble.
Amid a deafening roar, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path rose from the ground and appeared before everyone's eyes.
Looking at the fearsome Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the Five Kage lay on the ground, their faces filled with despair.
Once the Ten-Tails was revived and Nagato became its jinchūriki, no one in the Shinobi World would be able to stand against him.
By then, just as Nagato had said, the entire Shinobi World would likely live in his shadow, trembling in fear.

Some shinobi knelt on the ground and murmured under their breath. Some covered their faces and sobbed, while others turned and fled in panic.
The great battle that had begun with the Akatsuki Organization's surprise attack and erupted around the Ninja Village Allied Forces' headquarters gradually began to subside with the appearance of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

"Phew."
Shinji let out a soft breath, then turned to look at his subordinates behind him.
"My lord!"
