Shrouded in White Light, a massive shock wave slammed into the Empty Sand Barrier like an expanding white hot-air balloon!
Boom!
The thick sand wall rapidly caved inward. Without the Pillars Kabuto had created using Super Non-Limit Reincarnation, it would probably have collapsed already!
Now the pressure fell on the Pillars! As the shock wave spread, the Pillars cracked under the overwhelming burden, and the Sunagakure buildings connected to them faced a tremendous ordeal!
All of Sunagakure was in danger of collapsing!
"An earthquake...??"
The swaying houses startled people awake. They hurried outside, only then seeing the sand wall overhead and realizing their houses had become its supports!
"Th-that's Lord Kazekage's Empty Sand Barrier!!!"
"Is the village under attack?!!!"
In an avalanche... not a single snowflake could escape!!!
"Damn it!! Isn't there anything we can do?!!"
No... there wasn't!!
But at least these Sunagakure residents could cover their heads with their hands when their houses fell!!
The situation elsewhere was far less hopeful.
The Konoha accommodations.
The main force had already evacuated. Only the severely wounded and the medical ninja caring for them remained!
The most basic feature of a severely wounded patient was limited mobility. Most of them could only lie in bed!!
If the buildings collapsed, it would be a death sentence for them!!
"Sakura... hurry and leave. Don't worry about me!"
Shaken awake by the tremors, Kakashi weakly urged Sakura, who was watching over him at his bedside.
Sakura stood up. "You woke up just in time. Can you still move?"
Kakashi said, "I'm afraid not."
As his words fell... the cracked ceiling came crashing down!!!
Boom...!!!!
Sakura raised her fist, and the ceiling shattered on impact!!
Kakashi's right eye widened. "Sakura, you..."
"Just rest. Leave the rest to me!"
Sakura clenched her fist, a slight smile
