Entering the Battlefield

Land of Sound.

Konoha and the Cloud Shinobi were about to wage war here. Both sides had deployed thousands of troops for the second large-scale battle since the Third Shinobi World War began.

This time, there would be no probing attacks. It was an all-out assault.

The shock wave from the Tailed Beast Bomb shook the entire Land of Sound.

Kumogakure's new-generation A-B Combo immediately led the main force forward.

Minato Namikaze had no choice but to meet them head-on. He summoned Gamabunta and his two brothers to help him fight.

The moment the two sides met, a fierce clash erupted.

"The Cloud Shinobi's Tailed Beast has finally appeared!"

The Konoha Ninja in the rear stared in shock. The Eight-Tails, with its bull's head and octopus body, swung both fists at the three great toads of Mount Myōboku.

Despite fighting three opponents alone, it had the upper hand. Every move shook the earth.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The three great toads joined forces against the Eight-Tails. It was like watching impossible creatures from myth wage war, their power surging across the battlefield.

Not far from the four giants' battle, Minato Namikaze and A were locked in a fierce fight of their own.

Lightning flashed across A's body. His hair stood on end as he moved like a thunderbolt.

His attacks were brutally direct. When he brought his hand down like a blade, he looked capable of cleaving a mountain in two.

"That's the Cloud Shinobi's Secret Technique, the Strongest Lightning Release Armor!"

Many recognized A's Secret Technique.

It was famous, passed down through generations and mastered by every Raikage.

"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"

He shot forward like a bolt of lightning, Lightning Release Chakra gathering in his hand. His palm, sharper than any blade, sliced through the air toward Minato Namikaze.
