The Last to Make a Move

Caught off guard, the Allied Shinobi Forces were swept away like fallen leaves by the monstrous force.

"He's gone mad!"

Long Ye was horrified.

The Shinra Tensei Nagato had unleashed covered an area vast enough to destroy all of Konoha. Power on that scale came at the cost of his life force.

This one attack alone would drain Nagato dry.

Even Long Ye could not withstand a Shinra Tensei fueled by the last of Nagato's life.

He hurriedly summoned the branches of the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress, forming a cage around himself.

Pakura and the others in the organization had no way to resist that terrifying force. As the wave of destruction bore down on them, Scorpion summoned Ibuse.

Ibuse opened his mouth wide.

"Get in!"

Scorpion had not abandoned them. He shouted to them urgently.

Overjoyed, Pakura and the others leaped into Ibuse's mouth without hesitation.

Standing atop Ibuse's head, Scorpion opened a panel over his heart and fired out more than a thousand Chakra Threads, connecting them to the puppet's joints.

Ibuse sprang to life and burrowed underground, taking Scorpion with him.

Few possessed abilities like Scorpion's. The vast majority of shinobi were swept away. Some vanished high into the sky; others were torn to pieces on the spot.

It was like a dragon made of hurricane winds. No human power could stand against the fury of nature.

It swept through like a gale.

In little more than a dozen breaths, the entire village of Konoha vanished. Only bare earth remained, as though the village had never existed.

When the devastation ended, no more than a dozen people remained in the barren village.

Long Ye was one of them.

Thanks to the Snake Vines' grip on the ground, he had avoided being torn apart or swept away.
