Battle of Kikyo Pass IV
Naraku's guards quickly retreated, leaving Naraku alone on the field. The Hidden Sand were fast and rushed forward.
The Chakra within Naraku's body grew increasingly frenzied. Finally, after nearly thirty hand seals, Naraku finished with a Tiger Seal, indicating that this was a Fire Style ninjutsu.
The Hidden Sand were incredibly fast. The Hidden Sand at the forefront was skilled in Body Flicker Technique and swordsmanship. This Hidden Sand had already entered within ten meters of Naraku. Seeing that Naraku was still Hand Seals, neither dodging nor avoiding, a bloodthirsty look immediately appeared in his eyes.
The Hidden Sand coordinated perfectly. Those in the back threw Kunai and Shuriken, while the Hidden Sand, skilled in Body Flicker Technique and swordsmanship, gripped his sword with both hands and Body Flicker Slash that had slain countless enemies.
"Body Flicker Slash!"
With Hidden Sand shout, Sunagakure swiftly slashed at Naraku's neck.
Clang!
But then a clang rang out, and the fierce slash only managed to tear open Naraku's clothes; the Sunagakure Ninja felt as if he had struck steel.
This Hidden Sand Jonin, skilled in the Body Flicker Technique, even bled from the tiger's mouth of his hands wielding the sword due to excessive force, suffering a backlash from the impact of the force.
Ding ding dang dang
The Kunai and Shuriken thrown by the Hidden Sand behind him also hit Naraku at this moment, making clanging sounds, as if they were hitting a humanoid steel figure rather than a person.
Aside from poking a few holes in Naraku's clothes, it didn't achieve the effect they had envisioned.
Seeing that their weapons were useless, the elite Hidden Sand troops Hand Seals and unleashed Ninjutsu. A Hidden Sand Kunai wrapped in a ball of wind, forming a sharp wind sword. At the same time, the trembling hand of the Hidden Sand member whose tiger's mouth had been split open earlier gripped a long sword and thrust it toward Naraku's vital eye.
Naraku the Tiger Seal in his hands for two seconds, then forcefully slashed his hands apart to the sides, similar to the action of opening the Eight Inner Gates.
Fire Style Secret Technique: Heaven's End!
Boom!
Naraku's body, spanning ten meters, erupted like a volcano, transforming into a sea of fire.
Several Hidden Sand who rushed to Naraku's side were instantly burned to ashes before they could even scream.
Boom!
The ten-meter volcanic eruption was just the beginning. The next second, a second eruption occurred, turning an area of more than thirty meters into a sea of fire, with flames shooting hundreds of meters into the sky, making it feel as if you were truly inside a volcano.
Dozens of valiant Hidden Sand warriors within a thirty-meter radius were reduced to ashes.
"Retreat immediately!"
Seeing the raging inferno ahead, Ebizo, fifty meters away, shouted and jumped back. The heat of the explosion caused many of the Hidden Sand to break out in a sweat.
Naraku infused so much Chakra into his meticulously prepared Ninjutsu; it certainly wouldn't be that simple.
Boom! Boom!
The volcanic eruptions continued unabated. The third eruption had a radius of 100 meters. Many Hidden Sand members reacted quickly, using their Body Flicker Technique to its fullest extent to barely escape.
The fourth volcanic eruption reached nearly 500 meters, but Hidden Sand was no longer as lucky as before, and all of them perished in the fiery hell.
Wow!
"Ah!"
"Help!"
The Hidden Sand screamed in agony amidst the flames, but their suffering was short-lived; they were quickly reduced to ashes.
Of the nearly two hundred Hidden Sand who originally surrounded Naraku's group, all but a few renowned Hidden Sand Jonin with powerful combat abilities have been wiped out from the world.
Ebizo, his body saturated with Chakra, barely escaped the blast radius. Looking at the dozen or so Hidden Sand around him, his heart bled.
"Something's not right!? Why is the flame still burning? Is it not over yet!?"
Ebizo sensed that Chakra was still spreading, indicating that the Ninjutsu wasn't over yet! Ebizo used his fastest hand speed ever, pulled out a scroll, and pressed it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a puff of smoke, ten white puppets unfurled Chakra shields, surrounding the remaining people.
"White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Ten Puppets! Three Treasures Suction Crush!"
Boom!
Ebizo's judgment was correct; the ground shook, and soon an even larger eruption of flames followed.
Within a kilometer radius, the area has been transformed into a fiery inferno; trees and animals have turned to ashes, and rivers and streams have evaporated completely.
Although the final burst of flames covered a vast area, the temperature of the flames was not as high as in the previous bursts. The flames, Chakra Nature Transformation extremely hot, did not radiate over such a wide area.
"They survived..."
"Is this Ninjutsu that a human could use?"
"What monster are we fighting..."
The surviving Hidden Sand were ashen-faced, drenched in sweat, and covered in soot. More importantly, Hidden Sand seemed to have suffered severe physical and mental trauma, and all of them looked extremely terrified.
Ebizo couldn't bring himself to blame them; even he himself was terrified. Fortunately, his sister's Chikamatsu Ten Puppets had successfully replicated a set before they arrived; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have survived this terrifying sea of fire.
Ebizo couldn't sense any Chakra in the nearby air, so he concluded that there probably wouldn't be a next time.
Ebizo, after all, was a high-ranking member of Hidden Sand who had held power for many years. He was resilient and knew that this was not the time to be afraid. He should retreat now, gather his followers, and come back again.
Ebizo swallowed hard, regained his composure, and spoke:
"Withdraw the oranges first..."
However, before Ebizo could finish speaking, he stared blankly at the giant fiery bird in the sky that had dyed the blue sky red.
Uchiha Nara's ultimate Fire Style, Heaven's End, is Fire Style ninjutsu created by Naraku himself, which can also be described as Nintaijutsu. Chidori Current allows Chakra to be released from all the pressure points in the body, changing its nature to lightning.
The Heaven's End is a change in nature to fire, and it's not a one-time attack; the preceding Heaven's End are just appetizers.
After Naraku released the prelude to the Heaven's End, a sea of fire engulfed the area within a kilometer. The flames raged, and the remains of powerful ninjas, as well as other resilient trees, continued to burn.
At this moment, the flames converged on Naraku his entire body in flames and turning him into a fire-man. Behind the fire-man, a pair of fiery wings nearly thirty meters long unfolded.
Naraku's body was tiny compared to his fiery wings. With a gentle flap of his fiery wings, Naraku soared into the air, the extremely high temperature emanating from them turning the sky hundreds of meters around red.
Naraku, relying on his previous recollection, chased after the direction in which Ebizo and the others had fled.
Naraku in the air quickly spotted Ebizo and Ebizo group, who looked miserable as they sat by a dried-up stream.
In Naraku's Sharingan, he saw that more than ten people possessed Chakra, while the other ten appeared to be inanimate objects. A fierce glint Flash Cut in Naraku's eyes.
"Prepare to die!"
With its enormous fiery wings flapping, Naraku from the sky towards Ebizo and the others.
Naraku cupped his hands in front of him, and with Naraku gesture, the flames all Naraku his body gathered in his palms, while the fiery wings on his back gradually shrank.
Flames gathered in Naraku's palms, growing brighter and brighter. Naraku's flame form began to take on a human shape, except that his hair and eyebrows were still burning, and his wings on his back shrank to almost disappearing, as if the flames had been transferred to his hands.
Naraku's descent was accelerating like a falling meteor. With this truly deadly attack, those below would likely be instantly vaporized.
"Don't want!"
"Stop! I surrender!"
"I am Hidden Sand of Ebizo! I surrender! Stop!"
The Hidden Sand around Ebizo cried out in terror, but Ebizo not only did not stop them, he also looked terrified and shouted loudly.
"Um?"
Naraku swooped down at an extremely fast speed, Naraku he heard the words of surrender from the people below.
"The arrow is already on the string and must be released, sorry!"
Naraku tried to maneuver the jutsu in a slightly different direction, but with such immense Ninjutsu, even if it deviated, Naraku couldn't guarantee their survival.
