--Boom!!!
At that moment, it was as if heaven and earth had collapsed!
Tengai Shinsei plummeted from the top of the clouds, its tremendous force warping the very air as an earth-shaking roar resounded across the world!
The allied shinobi forces of Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure had nowhere left to run.
"Stop it with sand!!!"
Rasa roared. Gold Dust surged out like a tide, rapidly weaving itself into layer upon layer of metal barriers. Combined with the Barrier Ninjutsu of Sunagakure's elite jonin, they formed a flowing rampart that stretched between heaven and earth!
At the same time, the Iwagakure Ninja refused to be outdone. Kitsuchi and the other Iwagakure Ninja unleashed Earth Release, joining their defenses with Sunagakure's to form a towering wall of earth and stone, as imposing as a mountain.
"Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique—!"
Ōnoki shot into the air, quickly rising to the meteor's height. He pressed his hands against it and instantly altered its mass, reducing its weight!
He extended this change over the defensive line, hoping to lessen the force of the meteor's impact.
However, even with its weight greatly reduced, the enormous meteor still carried an impact too powerful to fully withstand.
Boom!!
The meteor slammed into the defensive rampart jointly formed by Sunagakure and Iwagakure. The barrier shook violently as Iron Sand and shards of rock flew everywhere, as if heaven and earth were breaking apart.
In the end, the defensive line could take no more. With a deafening crash, it collapsed!
"I-it's not holding!"
Rasa roared as he desperately tried to hold it back with Iron Sand, but the shaking earth left him barely able to stay on his feet.
"Retreat!!"
At the command, all the shinobi hurriedly fell back. They gave it everything they had, but faced with a disaster
