I Am the Giant Wave Sweeping Across the World!

The terrifying aura made everyone present pale.

Yotsuki Sora had shattered their understanding time and time again.

A humanoid Tailed Beast, with an unparalleled physique.

His Lightning Release was no weaker than that of the strongest Raikage, and he had faced Dust Release head-on without falling behind.

And now, this man had actually healed even the wounds inflicted by Dust Release.

With wounds like that, not only living flesh and blood, but even cellular tissue should have been obliterated into molecules.

He could regenerate even when his cells were gone.

Was this guy really still human?

But there was no point in considering that now. Human or not, he was an enemy they had to face.

"Impossible. There is absolutely no invincible ninja in this world. Even if you can recover from wounds of that extent, the cost to you must be enormous!"

Onoki was indeed a seasoned veteran.

Though he himself had been shocked by the abilities Sora had displayed.

Maintaining his side's morale came first!

Besides, he did not believe that Sora could truly regenerate endlessly without any cost, immortal and indestructible.

If this guy truly possessed that level of power, then why fight this war at all? They might as well have Hidden Stone surrender to Hidden Cloud outright.

Since Hidden Cloud had not swept through the ninja world, and had even dragged the war out to this point—using Yotsuki Sora earlier to pull at the battle lines and draw fire—it proved that this man was not invincible.

Blood Lightning flashed as he charged in with unstoppable force.

"Wind Release: Thousand-Faced Wind!"

Dust Release consumed far too much chakra, and given the traits Yotsuki Sora had displayed, Wind Release might not be much less effective than Dust Release.

Thousands of invisible gale winds transformed into razor-sharp wind blades and attacked him.

Under the immense gale, Sora's movements were indeed significantly restricted.

But Onoki's expression did not relax in the slightest.

Even without that special "kekkei genkai," the Yotsuki Sora before him could completely be considered a substitute for the Third Raikage.

To kill the Third Raikage, Onoki had exhausted every scheme he had, forcibly dragging him down until he was completely exhausted before finally killing him.

The reason was simple: at his peak, with the strongest Lightning Release Armor active, the Third A truly could move through a battlefield like a dragon. Even surrounded by thousands of ninja, escaping alive would have been effortless.

After meticulous planning, he had finally managed to grievously wound Yotsuki Sora.

But who could have expected this guy to possess Radiant Nightblade!

That meant that if Yotsuki Sora, currently in peak condition, truly wanted to flee, there was nothing Onoki could do.

However...

This guy seemed to have no intention of retreating at all.

Under Onoki's command, the Hidden Stone ninja unleashed vast amounts of Wind and Fire Release techniques. Yet the man whose entire body blazed with blood-gold fighting spirit was like an out-of-control dump truck, rampaging through the ninjutsu and crowds without restraint.

Thunderous explosions rang out one after another, and clouds of dust obscured everyone's vision.

"I am the giant wave sweeping across the world!"

Yotsuki Sora transformed into a streak of blood-red light, instantly crossing over a hundred meters and charging straight into the very center of the Hidden Stone forces.

Wherever he passed, men and horses were thrown into chaos!

Boom!

With nothing more than a casual kick, a Hidden Stone ninja reinforced with enhancement techniques had his chest cave in and was sent flying.

Yet that force did not disperse with the flying ninja. Instead, it passed through him and pierced toward those behind him!

Several Hidden Stone ninja failed to react in time and were blasted to death on the spot.

But in an instant, several unstoppable Wind Release attacks came at Sora from all directions.

Excitement flashed across Sora's face as he suddenly grabbed outward with both hands.

It was as though the surrounding air had been seized in his massive hands. At that moment, every Wind Release technique was crushed to pieces.

Blood Lightning flickered. This man seemed to have truly turned this place into his own arena, his flesh-and-blood strikes rampaging through the Hidden Stone ranks with no one able to stop him.

The blood on the halberd's tip had yet to cool, and more souls were added beneath the horse's hooves!

"Don't get carried away!"

"Earth Release: Hardening Technique! Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique! Earth Release: Super Light-Weight Rock Technique!"

Watching Yotsuki Sora slaughter the Hidden Stone ninja, a burly figure finally could not endure any longer and abruptly stepped in front of Sora's massive fist.

Boom!!

The massive fist, amplified threefold, collided viciously with Sora's fist. The immense force made the excitement in Sora's eyes intensify even further.

What a powerful punch!

But could it stop me?

His left fist collided with the rock fist, while a blood-gold fighting spirit, like blazing flames, ignited across Sora's entire right arm.

Then—

He threw a punch!

True damage, the might to subdue others, penetrating force!

Akatsuchi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs. He had truly felt just how heavy this man's fists were.

He had been born with immense strength and unmatched brute force, and the path he cultivated had always focused on physical enhancement. Yet compared to Yotsuki Sora before him, he was like a child who had just learned to walk facing off against heavyweight champion Tyson in the ring.

What kind of insane matchmaking was this?

"Akatsuchi!"

Onoki's breathing quickened. A white square barrier appeared between his half-clasped hands as he roared at Yotsuki Sora.

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

The blazing white cube came crashing down with the force to annihilate all things, yet Yotsuki Sora grinned viciously and neither dodged nor retreated.

The blood-gold fighting spirit around his right arm surged explosively. At the instant Dust Release reached him, he threw a fierce punch to meet it head-on!

Deliberate Blast Punch!!

At the instant his fist collided with Dust Release, space itself seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then, violent streams of energy erupted like floodwaters bursting through a dam.

Akatsuchi was blasted hundreds of meters away by the shockwave and smashed heavily into a rock wall. Blinding white light intertwined with Blood Lightning, forming a pillar of energy that shot into the sky and reduced everything within a hundred meters to dust!

Onoki hurriedly used the Super Lightened Boulder Technique to steady himself, only to see the figure wreathed in Blood Lightning step out of the smoke and dust without a scratch.

"Ag-again?!"

The Hidden Stone ninja cried out in despair.

He had taken Dust Release head-on several times without so much as damaging the corner of his clothes. It completely overturned everything they knew!

Yotsuki Sora shook his wrist, the battle intent in his eyes growing even fiercer.

"Old man, your Dust Release... has gone soft."

"Bastard!"

Onoki growled, but no matter how much he shouted, he had to acknowledge one fact.

No matter how many Hidden Stone ninja there were, they were nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree before Yotsuki Sora.

The Hidden Stone ninja could not keep being worn down like this. With more than a dozen dying every second, even with the vast resources of his village, he could not endure it for long.

Moreover, the deaths of these Hidden Stone ninja were utterly meaningless and without value. That outcome was even more unacceptable to Onoki!

His eyes remained fixed on Yotsuki Sora. He reached out and grabbed the rock wall beside him, pinching off a piece of stone as though he had made some sort of decision.

"An old man like you can still have eyes like that?"

"When did the old man's Will of Stone become something a junior like you could comment on?!"

Onoki clenched the stone in his hand and shouted sharply.

"Everyone, fall back and keep your distance!"
