Yemu looked down over the land, his gaze cold as frost, his golden eyes utterly still.
Below him lay a shattered battlefield, Cloud Ninja scattering in flight, their retreating figures twisted with terror.
"Only now do you realize you should run?"
Yemu's voice was low, yet it seemed to pierce heaven and earth, cutting through the gale and echoing in every ninja's ears.
"When you crossed the Land of Iron's border, invading with murder in your hearts, did you ever imagine this day?"
Yemu's gaze remained impassive.
He slowly raised his hand and spread his fingers. Lightning danced in his palm, while rings of golden chakra spiraled outward beneath his feet, making space tremble and distort.

Beneath the lightning, the earth kept collapsing. Thick smoke spread, and screams, howls, and cries for help mingled in a scene straight out of hell.
Some Cloud Ninja threw themselves to the ground and frantically crawled forward on their hands and knees, only
