The blazing white orb of light that suddenly lit up atop Bluefish Island, followed by the mushroom cloud that rose afterward, threw every Konoha ninja present into panic!
They could not understand how enemies had suddenly appeared in what was supposed to be the most heavily defended area.
And destroyed their command headquarters with a single strike!
At that moment, several Konoha powerhouses who had been fighting Kirigakure experts along the crisscrossing defensive lines simultaneously erupted, forcing back their powerful enemies before quickly breaking away and rushing toward the mountaintop.
The abnormal situation at the command headquarters had to be investigated as soon as possible!
At this moment, the one drawing the most hatred was undoubtedly Karatachi Yagura, who had just destroyed the enemy's crystal with a single [Special Beam Cannon].
A large number of Konoha ninjas surrounded him.
But the Tailed Beasts truly deserved their title as the ultimate deterrent and weapons of war, especially a [Perfect Jinchuriki] like Karatachi Yagura!
With human intelligence and methods commanding the endless power of a Tailed Beast, the strength born from their combination was something no ordinary person could stop!
It was no exaggeration to say that without a powerhouse of the same level to stop him, he alone could probably slaughter every Konoha ninja present.
Every punch, tail swipe, and even every step he took was accompanied by the deaths of anywhere from several to dozens of Konoha ninjas.
Yet he himself remained completely unscathed!
At that moment, some Konoha ninjas noticed Araki, who had just appeared.
A portion of the Konoha ninjas who had suffered setbacks against Karatachi Yagura immediately shifted their attention to him.
The island's inner region had originally been a key defensive area for Konoha, let alone the vicinity of the command headquarters at the summit.
