Wave After Wave

Puff, puff, puff!!

As Sasuke violently twisted his body, the shadows wrapped around him snapped apart one after another.

Pulled by the immense force, the Nara Clan members suffered a backlash, all of them coughing up blood.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is this? Even with the entire clan's strength, we still can't hold him!"

Nara Shikaku gritted his teeth and growled, blood already streaming from the corners of his mouth.

Then he suddenly shouted:

"Choza! Are you still not ready? If you don't move now, this monster will break free!"

"Pfft!!"

As he spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Thanks for holding on, Shikaku. I'm ready."

As his words fell, a giant over a hundred meters tall abruptly rose from the ground.

—Ninja Art: Super Multi-Size Technique!

With the time Nara Shikaku had bought him, Choza Akimichi, his red hair flowing, swiftly swallowed the clan's secret pills.

His chakra surged explosively, transforming him in an instant into a giant over a hundred meters tall.

"It's the Akimichi Clan's ultimate secret technique! Move out of the way!"

Because Choza Akimichi's body had expanded so suddenly and become so enormous, everyone around him quickly scattered to make room.

"Take this! I'll crush you into meat paste!"

—Super: Human Bullet Tank!!

Choza Akimichi roared, his massive body rolling forward and turning into a gigantic wheel that barreled toward Sasuke!

Rumble, rumble!!

The ground shook violently, trembling as countless cracks spread across it.

Wherever he passed, dust billowed, houses collapsed, and rocks shattered. Nothing could stop him!

It was as though everything in his path would be ground into powder.

"Good! Crush that brat into pulp and see if he still dares act so arrogant!"

"Go, Choza! Crush him to death!"

"Bastard, get a good look at Konoha's foundations!"

"..."

The Konoha ninja who saw this shouted excitedly.

This was Konoha's strength—powerful fighters emerged one after another.

Even if someone fell, another strong fighter would swiftly take their place.

This was Konoha, the number one hidden village in the Ninja World. Its position was unshakable!

Facing the enormous rolling wheel charging at him, Sasuke remained expressionless and calmly extended one hand.

Bearing the hopes of the Konoha ninja and the momentum to destroy everything, Choza Akimichi slammed fiercely into Sasuke.

Then,

his entire massive body, still curled into a rolling posture, came to an abrupt halt.

He stopped so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

When the dust cleared, they saw Sasuke blocking Choza Akimichi with one hand.

"Gasp—"

The Konoha ninja involuntarily sucked in a breath at the sight.

How was that possible?

That was a giant over a hundred meters tall!

In this form, Choza Akimichi had been able to compete with Tailed Beasts in raw strength during the Third Shinobi World War without falling behind!

Compared to him, Sasuke was no different from an ant beneath a giant's foot.

Yet now, that ant had lifted the giant with one hand!

It was simply unbelievable!

"W-what kind of monster is he!?"

Nara Shikaku's expression darkened.

"Damn it, we worked so hard to hold him in place so Choza could land a successful hit!"

"But this is the result? Then what was the point of us risking our lives before?"

Bang!!

Nara Shikaku punched the ground hard, frustration written across his face.

"Tch. You worked so hard to restrain me before. I thought you had some deadly move prepared. Turns out it was just this! What a waste of my expectations."

Sasuke curled his lip, wearing a disappointed expression.

"Bastard! Don't look down on me!"

Choza Akimichi seemed enraged by Sasuke's expression and threw a heavy punch straight down at him.

Boom!!

The enormous fist struck the ground, smashing a huge crater into it as spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread in all directions.

"Too slow!"

Sasuke appeared atop Choza Akimichi's head.

"Bastard! Get off my head!"

Hearing him, Choza Akimichi moved to slap Sasuke down.

However, before he could act, he felt his feet leave the ground.

Then the world turned upside down.

Sasuke had grabbed his hair and, through sheer brute force, lifted the giant into the air.

The sight was shocking!

"W-what the hell kind of monster is that!?"

Some of the Konoha ninja were completely dumbfounded.

"Smash!!!"

The muscles all over Sasuke's body bulged as he roared.

Like an over-the-shoulder throw, he violently hurled the hundred-meter-tall Choza Akimichi in one direction.

"Quick, get out of the way! He's coming down this way!"

Someone noticed the enormous shadow overhead and immediately shouted a warning.

Boom!!!

Choza Akimichi crashed heavily into the ground, as though a magnitude-ten earthquake had struck. Countless houses were crushed into powder.

Before long, drained of too much chakra, he returned to his original size, rolled his eyes back, and passed out.

Sasuke stood atop the tallest house with his arms folded, looking down arrogantly at everyone present.

He had just been about to say, "Who's next?" to make himself look even more impressive.

But just then,

a bold female voice rang out.

"Don't get too cocky! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're strong! I'll let you experience the pain of being torn apart!"

"Kuromaru, let's go!"

"Woof!"

—Fang Over Fang!

The next moment,

Tsume Inuzuka and Kuromaru spun at high speed like upright drills, transforming into two whirlwinds that seemed capable of slicing through anything as they attacked Sasuke.

The one launching the attack was none other than the Inuzuka Clan's leader, a wild-looking woman who was Kiba Inuzuka's mother.

"Tch, the Inuzuka Clan? Konoha really has a lot of secret technique clans. One after another!"

Sasuke was somewhat annoyed. They actually dared interrupt his grand entrance.

He immediately took the initiative. His figure vanished from the rooftop, and when he appeared again, he was between the two whirlwinds.

With a casual punch and kick, two bangs rang out. The woman and dog immediately spat blood and flew backward. They were no match for him at all.

Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle!!!

Sasuke had barely landed when he heard dense rustling behind him.

Turning around, he saw countless flying insects.

There were so many insects that they blotted out the sky, surging toward him like a vast black cloud.

Behind the insects stood more than a dozen Aburame Clan ninja, wrapped from head to toe.

"What does it matter how strong you are? What does it matter how tough your defense is? Before insects, none of that means anything."

"Because the insects will devour you until not even scraps remain. Repent, invader!"

—Secret Technique: Parasitic Insects!

Shibi Aburame waved his hand, and countless Destruction Bugs swarmed toward Sasuke like mad.

Sasuke formed hand seals, preparing to use a ninjutsu.

It was not that he feared the insects could break his defense. He simply did not want to see himself covered head to toe in countless crawling bugs.

—Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire!

With a breath, a massive flaming dragon appeared out of thin air.

The flaming dragon let out a silent roar and charged fiercely into the sea of insects.

As though it possessed intelligence, it flew and coiled through the air, appearing wherever there were Destruction Bugs.

The blazing flames burned as countless Destruction Bugs turned to ash in the intense heat, leaving not even scraps behind!

Within only a few breaths, every Destruction Bug had been burned away.

"H-how could this happen? The insects were completely wiped out!"

Shibi Aburame's expression turned grim.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

The flaming dragon that had incinerated the insects fixed its gaze on them, carrying boundless waves of heat as it charged toward the Aburame Clan members.
