Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng landed on a large tree in the forest.
Immediately afterward, the sound of countless trees snapping rang out.
Then came the crash of something enormous hitting the ground.
Shukaku had followed him here.
"Come out, brat!"
"Let me crush you!"
Then he fired five or six Air Bullets in succession.
They blasted clearing after clearing into the forest.
Yet Zhou Cheng was nowhere to be seen.
"Stop hiding, little mouse! I can see you!"
He taunted Zhou Cheng, trying to goad him into coming out.
Zhou Cheng shook his head and leaped to the treetop.
"Stop looking, you big tanuki! I'm right here!"
He stretched a little. With no one else here, he could finally cut loose.
He pushed his chakra output to its limit.
He opened his hand, and a Rasengan appeared in his palm.
Then the Rasengan rapidly expanded.
It grew until it was more than twenty meters across.
Then he poured wind release chakra into it.
The Rasengan changed shape again, becoming an enormous shuriken and growing even larger.
"Think you can take this one, you ugly tanuki?"
Even with his Sage Body's chakra reserves, this single Rasenshuriken consumed more than half of them.
Zhou Cheng leaped into the air, holding the Rasenshuriken, dozens of meters across, aloft with one hand.
All of Konoha, which had been caught in a chaotic battle, fell still.
Everyone froze as they stared at the sight on the horizon.
What was that?
Why did it look so much like Zhou Cheng's S-Rank ninjutsu?
But why was it so huge?
Not even a tailed beast could withstand that attack!
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru held their kunai against each other as they witnessed the breathtaking sight.
Both wondered whether they could evade a ninjutsu like that.
Other than doing everything
