Boom!
Endless dark-red lightning descended from the sky, painting a scene of the apocalypse.
Those who had not been knocked unconscious by Conqueror's Haki, or had escaped its reach, stared blankly at the sky.
At the center of the village, two figures shot upward. One was held in the other's hand.
In the lightning's glare, they made out enough to see that the captive looked a little like their chief, Hanzo of the Salamander.

At the same time, someone else shouted.
"Akatsuki has broken in!"
"Those traitors actually joined forces with Konoha?!"
Their faces darkened. If they failed to handle this, Amegakure might soon have a
