However, what he received was not the glow of Chakra.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
A shrill, piercing air-defense radar lock-on alarm abruptly tore through the air above the entire city.
From atop the towering metal watchtowers, dozens of high-powered optical infrared targeting beams shot straight into the sky.
Dense red dots crisscrossed over Momoshiki and Kinshiki.
Their white robes were covered in red points, as though glowing insects had crawled all over them.
Momoshiki narrowed his eyes and looked down at the glaring red patches on his chest.
This was not Chakra at all.
On the reviewing stand, Naruto tore off the Hokage's Ceremonial Robe from his back and violently swung his right arm downward.
"Fire!"
At his command.
Heavy anti-aircraft positions deployed around the venue and on the highlands behind the mountain simultaneously threw off their camouflage nets.
The ground trembled.
There were no hand signs, not the slightest fluctuation of Chakra.
Only heavy armor-piercing anti-aircraft guns, propelled by gunpowder and bursting forth with pure physical kinetic force, revealed their true forms.
Deafening booms merged into one, instantly drowning out everything else.
Hundreds upon thousands of black solid armor-piercing shells, trailing shrill whistles and white streaks, formed an impenetrable steel net that surged upward into the heavens and hurtled straight at the two of them.
Momoshiki watched the iron lumps filling the sky and instinctively activated the Rinnegan in his palm.
"Such lowly tricks, all of you, get in—" His absorption ability fully activated in an instant.
The dark-red light spun halfway around.
Then, the Rinnegan absorbed absolutely nothing.
There was not even a trace of Chakra inside those high-speed armor-piercing shells.
The Rinnegan that specialized in devouring ninjutsu became completely blind when faced with gunpowder-driven physical kinetic force.
The contempt and composure on Momoshiki's face froze on the spot.
