Rasa wasn't the only one making moves; Kakashi was also busy.

During the meteorite's descent, Kakashi attempted to transfer it into the Kamui Space.

However, Kakashi, who was below, not only lacked the strength to see the meteorite, but he also couldn't even get a glimpse of its entirety.

Aside from drilling a hole in the meteorite and sending some building materials to the Lovers' Space, there was nothing else they could do.

At this moment, directly below the meteorite, there are concentric rings of cavities, with the bottommost cavity having a diameter of over a hundred meters, decreasing in diameter as you go higher up.

If the meteorite had struck directly at that moment, Kakashi and the others would have had a proper burial chamber.

There was absolutely no chance of surviving. In the original work, when Madara used the Tengai Shinsei, the distance from the point of impact was at least several kilometers, if not tens of kilometers.

After the meteorite fell, the unprotected Ban and the possessed Wu turned to ash.

He only survived thanks to the Impure World Reincarnation.

This was after Ōnoki and Gaara had exhausted all their strength to reduce the damage caused by the falling meteor.

At this moment, the meteor summoned by Madara's Tengai Shinsei was several times larger than the tiny one in the original work.

Without Ōnoki to lighten the load, if they were to actually fall at this moment, aside from Obito's Undead Army and the Impure World troops summoned by Kabuto, the only ones who would be able to do so would be...

Everyone else must die!

Of course, if Shisui wanted to, he could still escape with two people.

As for having Shisui use the Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder to transfer the meteorite, like Kakashi, Shisui couldn't do it.

The moment the Gold Dust touched the meteorite, Rasa coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He wasn't as lucky as his son, who had Ōnoki assisting him. The meteorite he was dealing with was much larger than the small stone in the original story.

Fortunately, Rasa was many times stronger than Gaara was at that time.

"Boom!"

After a muffled thud, countless Gold Dust rained down from the sky, and the meteorite's speed slowed slightly.

It worked!

Countless Konoha ninjas looked at Rasa as if they were seeing a god.

But only Rasa knew that this was only temporary, and that he didn't have much true energy left.

Listen to the almost imperceptible, continuous sounds of prayer below.

Rasa understood that it was time to make a choice.

They chose to give it their all, eventually exhausting themselves, but still couldn't stop the meteorite.

Or perhaps they should immediately stop, using their remaining true energy to create an indestructible sanctuary to protect the few Konoha Ninja.

Rasa chose the latter without much thought.

Konoha's help allowed him to survive, Gaara was able to survive.

But Rasa felt that he had already done enough for Konoha.

Rasa was pondering the list of those to be protected. He had heard that Ren's three disciples were also on the battlefield, and that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had already been taken away.

That means there were two disciples, plus himself, making a total of three.

Thinking of this, Rasa stopped and quickly located Natsuri and Sasuke Uchiha from the intelligence report, enveloping them in two balls of Gold Dust.

At a speed almost imperceptible to outsiders, it arrived beside Rasa, and then layers of Gold Dust formed a giant cocoon, which was still expanding rapidly.

Without the support of the Rasa, the meteorite began to fall at an even faster speed.

For the Konoha Ninja below, it was now completely dark, and the light was rapidly fading away.

Five kilometers!

Three kilometers!

One kilometer!

The meteorite, falling without any obstruction, plummeted at an extremely high speed, covering several kilometers in just a few seconds.

At this moment, Kabuto also stopped what he was doing and released Madara's Impure World Reincarnation.

He then looked up at the pitch-black sky, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and gave a slightly helpless smile.

Ren- sama, you miscalculated this time!

Utakata and Naruto were brought by Ren's request, and Madara was also Impure World by Ren at Tomoki's request.

Leaving aside Shisui and Kabuto, even considering that Natsuri was also on the battlefield, would Ren miscalculate?

Madara's Tengai Shinsei, Ren, is well aware of this, and compared to the meteorite hundreds of meters high in the original work.

Ren even made contingency plans to handle meteorites hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

Now that it's just a meteorite a few kilometers long, Ren has already prepared enough backup plans.

Dou is currently reflecting on his life.

He experienced war in his childhood, and later met the Dean, Orochimaru, Danzo, and Ren.

His life, which, while not dazzling, was certainly remarkable, flashed rapidly through my mind like a slideshow.

People often feel that time passes very slowly when they are dying.

Those who have studied this phenomenon know perfectly well that it is just an illusion.

Human perception of time relies on external objects; what appears to be a long moment before death is merely an illusion caused by the brain frantically processing a large amount of information.

Dou even recalled the experiment he conducted on a death row inmate, every step and every piece of data now crystal clear.

After reviewing the experiment from back then, Kabuto finally realized that something was wrong.

Even if it's just an illusion, this is taking way too long!

My vision finally focused, but the sky remained dark.

But the next moment, light appeared in this world.

The darkness was rapidly shrinking; the meteorite was flying away!

More and more ninjas discovered this phenomenon, and Kabuto's ears were filled with sounds of crying and laughing, but even more so with meaningless shouts.

Once the meteorite had completely disappeared from sight, people had mostly vented their frustrations.

A cacophony of thanks erupted, with words like "miracle," "divine salvation," and so on filling the air.

No one on the battlefield knew what was happening, including Kabuto.

Moon Space.

The body, created using Toneri's genes as a template and long ago discarded, is now breathing slightly.
