A Sword's All!

"Bastard, does it really have to be this ridiculously huge..."

Bunta the Toad, whose own body exceeded fifty meters in size, stared at the over two-hundred-thirty-meter-tall [Susanoo Body] before him in utter shock.

As a summoning beast, he was smaller than Katsuyu, but Gamabunta had always considered himself big enough.

But—

Looking at the [Susanoo Susanoo] before him at this moment,

Gamabunta: "Fine, fine, fine. I'm the little brother!!"

Meanwhile:

"How... how could this be..."

Tsunade Hime wore an expression of utter disbelief.

She couldn't believe Chen Yiban's power had reached such a terrifying level.

The "one hundred forty meters" Susanoo Complete Body from the single Eternal Mangekyo had already been shocking enough, but now...

Over two hundred thirty meters!

That was just absurd!!

The previous Susanoo Complete Body felt like Katsuyu and Gamabunta could still fight it together.

If Jiraiya entered Sage Mode as well, they would definitely have had an even better chance.

But this one now...

Damn, it felt like it could stomp all of them and their summoning beasts to death in one step!

This was ridiculous!

"The only one who can stop me is Hashirama!"

"Unfortunately, he's no longer in the human world."

Chen Yiban's voice rang out from within the diamond-shaped crystal in the head of the enormous Susanoo Complete Body.

As he spoke, one of the Susanoo Complete Body's giant hands grasped the Susanoo Sword at its waist.

Then—

Boom-----

It swung out a slash like a quick-draw strike.

A blue-white blade of light flashed like a terrifying bolt of lightning, shooting straight toward all the Konoha Ninja on the other side.

"Not good, get..." Tsunade Hime and Jiraiya both cried out in horror.

But they didn't even have time to say anything more before—

Clang—BOOM---!!

"Gaaah...!!"

Screams rang out without end.

Yet even more people were reduced to ash beneath the blade of light.

They couldn't even let out a scream!

"Pfft...!" After being blasted away, Jiraiya spat out a huge mouthful of blood.

At the same time, he felt excruciating pain on the right side of his body.

He looked over—

His entire right arm had been sliced off and obliterated!

At the last moment, Jiraiya had shoved Tsunade out of the way with his right hand.

Although he had managed to dodge that world-shaking slash in time, his entire right arm was gone.

Bang---!

On the other side, Gamabunta had also managed to evade the deadly slash through a frog leap, but the terrifying aftershock of the blade still sent him flying. He crashed through numerous buildings in Konoha.

"Cough, cough...!" Gamabunta had also been badly injured and coughed up blood.

He could barely keep hold of the blade in his hand.

"Bastard, you almost... killed this great Gamabunta." Gamabunta coughed blood as he weakly complained.

On the other side:

Jiraiya had pushed Tsunade Hime out of the way in time. With the Hundred Healings Technique as well, she appeared largely unharmed as she rose from the ruined ground of Konoha.

Then she widened her eyes in a daze and stared at Konoha before her.

A chasm roughly seventy meters wide and several thousand meters long stretched endlessly into the distance, its depths impossible to see...

It now cut straight across all of Konoha!

It had truly split the entire village in two!!

Meanwhile, countless severed limbs of Konoha Ninja continued to fall into the abyss on both sides.

This sight...

Filled Tsunade's eyes with blood-red veins!

"Lady Tsunade!" Katsuyu, the summoning beast, came to Tsunade Hime's side.

Because she could split herself apart, Katsuyu had probably suffered the least damage.

But she hadn't escaped unharmed. At the very least, many of the fragments she had split off at the beginning had been vaporized into nothingness by that world-shaking slash.

And now,

After reaching Tsunade Hime's side, Katsuyu immediately saw the bottomless abyss before them.

And the countless severed limbs!

"This..." Katsuyu was so horrified that she couldn't speak.

"Shikamaru...!" Nearby, Ino and Choji stared at their lifeless companion on the ground, tears filling their eyes.

"I'm sorry." Katsuyu's fragments couldn't bring back the dead.

Not long afterward, the still-living Shikaku Nara came over slowly, clutching his injured abdomen. He crouched down and silently looked at his dead son.

On the other side, the same thing had happened:

"Neji...!"

Tenten and Rock Lee stared at Hyuga Neji on the ground in disbelief.

It seemed that, to reduce the danger to Rock Lee and Tenten, Hyuga Neji had fully activated Rotation at the critical moment.

Rock Lee and Tenten had survived, while Neji himself had been mortally wounded and died!

A Katsuyu fragment nearby was equally powerless!

However, there was one place that had suffered the least destruction.

That was:

Crack---!

Kakashi Hatake withdrew the enormous Earth-Style Wall.

Then, together with his three disciples behind him—Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno—he stared in shock at the scene around them.

Especially the bottomless chasm that had cleaved Konoha apart, an enormous ravine whose depths could not be seen!

Could such power really be blocked by a single Earth-Style Wall of his?

Kakashi noticed that the destruction on their side was the lightest!

"Could it be... Sasuke?"

Kakashi glanced in surprise at Sasuke Uchiha beside him. Remembering what Chen Yiban had said to Sasuke earlier, he couldn't help making that guess.

Only the reason that Chen Yiban had held back somewhat for a fellow member of the Uchiha Clan could explain it.

"This kind of power..." At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha stared at the destructive might of the slash that had cleaved Konoha apart.

He simply couldn't believe this was power a human could possess.

Could the legendary ninja, the strongest clan leader his clan had ever had, truly have become so overwhelmingly powerful?

It was simply impossible to believe that the scene before him was real!

"How did the village become like this..." Sakura Haruno stared blankly at Konoha, which had been split in two.

Nearby, Naruto Uzumaki had already run off in a somewhat frantic state.

Soon:

"Shikamaru...!"

Naruto Uzumaki saw Shikamaru Nara's corpse.

"And..."

Hyuga Neji!

"Naruto-kun." Not far away, Hyuga Hinata walked over with her father, Hyuga Hiashi, toward this side.

Then she too saw Hyuga Neji lying on the ground, covered in blood. She immediately covered her mouth in shock.

"Pervy Sage...!" Turning his head, the enraged Naruto Uzumaki spotted Jiraiya in disbelief, missing his entire right arm.

"Pervy Sage!" Naruto Uzumaki immediately rushed over and supported Jiraiya.

"Pervy Sage, you... you..." After witnessing the deaths of Shikamaru and Neji, Naruto Uzumaki was suddenly terrified that Pervy Sage might die too.

The bloody state of the right side of Jiraiya's body was simply too frightening.

"Ha-ha, don't worry. I'm the Toad Sage. I'm not going to die just like this." Jiraiya forced a smile and reached out to pat Naruto's head.

At this moment, two tear tracks already ran down Naruto Uzumaki's face!

Afterward, the survivors—Kakashi, Mitaraishi Anko, Kurenai Yuhi, Hyuga Hiashi, Shikaku Nara, and the others—gathered together again.

And just then:

Clang-dong—clang-dong----

The [Susanoo Susanoo] advanced step by step, its footsteps incomparably heavy, closing in on the surviving Konoha Ninja.

"Bastard..." Naruto Uzumaki's eyes began to turn red.
