Hanzo Is Dead???

BOOM!!!!!!

The phantom golden blade struck the ground with an explosion even louder than the first!

Flames shot into the sky!

The entire earth shook violently, with the point where the golden blade landed at its center.

The tremors spread rapidly in every direction!

The ground split apart, collapsed, and shattered.

A massive crater over a hundred meters wide formed.

The nearby cliff could not withstand the impact either.

Great slabs of rock broke away, as though the whole cliff might collapse at any moment.

Even Guy, who was in midair clutching the Fire Cloud Kasaya, looked shaken by such terrifying destructive power.

"That powerful? That can't be right!"

Guy's eyes narrowed.

He admitted that Precept-Breaking One Strike was powerful.

But he had forced out that second strike by driving his chakra after the first was finished.

It should have been noticeably weaker than the first.

Yet the shock and destruction it caused were many times greater!

"And what was with those flames?!"

"Did someone else intervene?"

"The Uchiha Clan?"

Guy did not believe his Fire Run could produce an explosion that fierce.

He stayed alert and adjusted his posture in midair.

His gaze remained fixed on the thick smoke billowing from the center of the blast. He did not dare relax for an instant.

But everyone else stared at the destruction wrought by that terrifying strike.

They were stunned as never before.

"Th-that can't be real?!"

An Akatsuki member swallowed reflexively, his voice dry.

"Wh-what kind of ninjutsu was that? No, that wasn't even ninjutsu, was it?!"

Another Akatsuki member muttered.

His legs went weak as he looked at the enormous crater and the collapsing cliff.

The Rain Hidden Village elites on Hanzo's side were scared out of their wits.

One slash had caused all this?

Even Lord Hanzo,
