In the crowd.
A Stone Shinobi's delighted smile froze on his face.
"I think... we celebrated too soon..."
"What nonsense are you talking about...?"
His companion looked puzzled and followed his friend's gaze into the sky.
At that sight, his legs began trembling again.
"...Is that?!"
An even larger meteor was hurtling down from the sky at tremendous speed.
"Why is this happening?!" he wailed.
...How had surviving one disaster turned into facing another?!
Were they doomed to die here?!
The shadow of death engulfed them once more, and despair ran rampant in every heart.
Inside the Susanoo's cockpit.
Madara savored the sight, laughing wildly as he murmured.
"Despair! This is Madara Uchiha's... Kaminokikara (the power of a god)!"
Obito rolled his red eyes and urged him impatiently.
"Grandpa Madara, have you had enough fun? Let's go."
Madara smiled with a touch of resignation.
"All right, all right. Let's go."
Their Susanoo pressed their heads together, bringing the cockpits together in an instant.
Before activating Kamui.
Hmm, Lord Madara only has a quarter of his ocular power right now...
Obito glanced at the meteors overhead and thought to himself.
It's only two meteors. Ōnoki should be able to handle them... right?
He shook his head.
Obito stopped dwelling on it, and the shuriken pattern in his eye began to spin.
"Kamui!"
The next moment.
The two enormous warrior gods abruptly vanished along with the two men.
The two men had left, but the two meteors had not.
Faced with this man-made catastrophe.
The shinobi of Iwagakure reacted in different ways, none of them particularly composed.
Some sobbed bitterly.
"I'm only twenty! I just want to live! What did I do wrong?!"
Others took it rather philosophically.
"The sooner we die, the sooner we reincarnate. There's hope in the next life.
