Uchiha Yū, standing at the edge of the blast, had suffered serious injuries. All the more so for the two at the center of the explosion.
Uchiha Yū desperately wanted to know whether that shockwave had killed them.
A fierce wind came from nowhere, carrying the intense heat that had just formed. A scorching wave swept through, sending dust flying, and Uchiha Yū saw the result of his handiwork.
At the center of the explosion was an enormous crater. The two of them were nowhere to be seen.
"This explosion should have been powerful enough to leave not even ashes behind. I should have killed them."
Uchiha Yū surveyed the battlefield grimly, hoping for the best possible outcome. Whether for Konoha's coming war or the pressure Dawn would face in the future, it would be greatly reduced.
Unfortunately, dreams and reality were often opposites.
Although a massive crater had appeared in the ground, something gradually rose from below.
Crack, crack, crack!
Like the sound of stones grinding together, what finally emerged into the air was a gigantic stone sphere.
Ōnoki had sensed that something was wrong and gathered all his power. The earth and rock that the Third Raikage had pierced through covered Ōnoki's body at the last moment, allowing him to evade the explosion's fatal blow.
Yet the situation had left Ōnoki no time to think. The surging earth and rock had also trapped the Third Raikage inside.
After all, when the One-Finger Nukite had thrust forward, it had not shattered the earth and rock, only plunged the arm into it. This caused both of them to enter the huge ball of earth.
Then came the vibrations, injuring both their bodies.
The Third Raikage's body was known as the strongest shield, but some attacks surpassed ordinary means.
No matter
