Boom! Boom! Boom!
A rain of meteors fell from the sky.
Countless villages had made preparations.
Including every nation.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as they worried their homes would suffer devastating losses, a pillar of light shot out from the direction of Kumogakure.
After breaking through the atmosphere, the energy rapidly dispersed.
It transformed into smaller beams of light and attacked the meteors.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yet a large number of meteors still fell into the Shinobi World.
"They're here."
"Water Dragon Bullet."
In Kirigakure, countless water dragons rose from the surface and attacked the meteors.
A barrier quickly rose as well.
Mei Terumi personally directed the operation.
The other shinobi villages were much the same.
Only Kumogakure and Konoha were different.
Kumogakure's high-tech cannons intercepted every meteor.
As for Konoha...
"Summoning Technique: Third Manda."
A colossal serpent that reached the heavens appeared within Konoha's territory.
It was a giant snake four or five times larger than the First Manda.
With a sweep of its tail, it flung most of the meteors into open ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yakushi Kabuto stood in the air atop Third Manda's head, controlling him as he attacked the meteors.
"Kabuto, this is the new Manda cultivated with Ōtsutsuki Cells. He's so much better tempered than that troublesome fellow from before!"
Watching this scene, Orochimaru praised him.
He also took the opportunity to complain about his former Manda.
"Sage Art: Disaster of the Raging Pythons."
Orochimaru's eye shadow stretched longer. He extended his right hand, and countless White Phosphorus Snakes emerged.
Their bodies grew larger and larger.
They launched themselves at the meteors.
Their numbers blocked most of the meteors. Even when their bodies were smashed apart, they rapidly regenerated and continued attacking.
"Orochimaru, you're no slouch either. You actually learned Senjutsu too!"
