Overwhelming might

Kazan had struck. There was no need to see him; the dark red lightning continually descending from the sky said it all.

By now, that haki kekkei genkai had become as famous throughout the Shinobi World as Kazan himself. Every time he attacked, it stirred strange phenomena across heaven and earth—an unmistakable signature.

"Galaxy Impact!"

Rumble!

A massive red cross lit up the sky. As Kazan's fist fell, it detonated amid the entire Rock Shinobi force.

All around, people gasped. The Ghost of Konoha was far too powerful. Only those who witnessed him firsthand could truly understand.

A single punch devastated an area hundreds of meters across. Who knew how many times more powerful it was than Ōnoki's Dust Release?

Suddenly, a beam of light shot toward him from afar, carrying a terrifying power capable of disintegrating all things.

It was Ōnoki's Dust Release, slicing through the air like an aurora as it raced toward him.

Kazan's expression remained cold. Pushing off the air with his toes, he soared like a dragon and evaded it effortlessly.

Then his right fist shot out like lightning, striking the air and sending ripples through space itself.

"Fist Bone: Impact!"

What others could scarcely imagine as a technique was no more than an ordinary punch to Kazan, something he could throw at will.

Haki and chakra erupted at once, sweeping toward Ōnoki like flames spewed from a dragon's maw.

Sensing danger, Ōnoki flew at high speed to evade it.

The Ghost of Konoha before him was truly unstoppable. Even a casual blow carried such force that it put him under immense pressure.

"Has Konoha run out of people? They sent a brat here."

Ōnoki tried to provoke him with words.

"You're just an old man who was too scared of Madara Uchiha to move.
