Perona peeked out from behind the rock. When she saw the rift in the sky, then the sword scar that had cleaved the island below, her jaw dropped.
Clutching her Ghost Doll, she could not say a word for a long moment.
Hawkeye withdrew his gaze and walked over to Kuina.
"How long did he teach you?"
Kuina wiped away her tears.
"N-not even ten days."
Hawkeye fell silent.
He had trained a Supreme Great Swordsman in less than ten days.
He turned toward the direction Naruto had disappeared in.
"The world is about to change."
Holy Land Mary Geoise
The Five Elders knelt before the throne, their foreheads pressed to the floor.
Imu sat on the throne with his eyes closed, extending his senses.
The world-destroying formation had already descended.
All he had to do was wait.
He waited a long time, but his senses registered no sign of destruction.
Imu frowned and extended his senses again.
Then he felt a terrifying surge of Sword Qi shoot into the sky, piercing his Magic Circle.
The Magic Circle shattered.
Imu opened his eyes.
His pupils contracted.
The Five Elders sensed the aura on the throne change. None dared lift their heads.
"A man from another world."
At last, Imu spoke slowly. "Very strong!"
The Five Elders lay prostrate, their backs drenched in sweat.
"He is here."
Just then, Imu spoke slowly.
The Five Elders froze, then raised their heads at the same time.
Their Observation Haki instantly swept beyond the windows.
On the distant horizon, a tiny speck was approaching at tremendous speed.
The speck moved faster and faster, growing larger and larger.
Seconds later, a figure appeared in an instant above Holy Land Mary Geoise.
With black hair and black eyes, he stood on empty air, looking down.
