"Whoooosh!"
Fierce winds swept through, filling the sky with yellow sand and obscuring the view overhead.
Suddenly, an immense pressure swept outward, majestic and domineering, weighing on everyone's hearts even more heavily than the sand filling the sky.
Fourth Kazekage Rasa narrowed his eyes and looked ahead, his expression turning deeply grave.
He saw fine, strange markings appear on the face of the figure before him, while winding dragon horns sprouted from his forehead.
At the same time, terrifying chakra fluctuations reached him, accompanied by the pressure of a peculiar energy.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
The low, commanding voice reverberated between heaven and earth. Even the swirling yellow sand paused, falling into an inexplicable stillness.
In the next instant, countless Sand shinobi gaped in shock at the sight emerging before them.
"What is that now?!"
The Sand shinobi were bewildered and terrified, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
What had appeared before them was simply too unbelievable, enough to make them shudder.
Wooden contours rapidly took shape in midair, forming a colossal Kannon statue, with rows of swaying arms filling the space behind it.
It was an enormous Thousand-Armed Kannon. Its eyes slowly opened and gazed down, seemingly watching every last person.
"Is he even human anymore?"
"Only a god could do something like this!"
"Can we really defeat an enemy like that?"
Fear, doubt, and awe at such power rose in everyone's hearts, leaving them trembling in terror.
Even Fourth Kazekage Rasa stood frozen, staring at the immense, towering Kannon statue amid the yellow sand.
"He has the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, and First Hokage Hashirama Senju's Wood Release."
"Who exactly is this guy?"
At that moment, no amount of confidence or fearlessness in the face of death could allow anyone to remain calm before such a sight.
