At the same time, jet-black Tailed Beast Bomb Balls with a Yin-Yang chakra ratio of 2:8 condensed from all four directions of Konoha and suddenly rushed toward Konoha at its very center!
" Tailed Beast Bomb!" *4
The ominous, dark purple chakra was immense, and an unprecedented sense of crisis pierced the senses of everyone in Konoha, even sending chills down Naruto's spine as he confronted Kakuzu.
" Kurama, lend me your chakra."
In its Inner world, Kurama Nine-Tails opened its eyes, remaining motionless after sensing several familiar auras within Naruto's body.
"Why should I lend you my chakra? You keep calling me Kurama, Kurama, as if we're old friends!"
"We've only known each other for 12 years, not close enough for you to lend me the power to send Shukaku, Matatabi Son Gokū, and Saiken flying..."
Naruto, whose eyes had turned into frog-like horizontal pupils, turned around and emphasized his tone.
"If I die, won't you die too? We've known each other for 12 years, what's wrong with lending a little chakra?!"
"Enough with the nonsense! I would never help humans in front of those guys. I am Nine-Tailed Fox, how could I possibly help humans!"
With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Naruto turned his back to Nine-Tails and uttered a single sentence that instantly enraged Nine-Tails.
"You stubborn jerk, I'll figure it out myself, you lazy orange pig..."
"You damn Naruto, you little bastard, get back here right now!"
The roar splashed water, but Naruto did not respond, which only fueled Kurama's anger.
"Tch, why is this brat meddling in other people's business? With that guy around, how could he possibly be afraid of the so-called Tailed Beast Bomb? That's..."
Recalling those eyes from his memory, Kurama still felt lingering fear. He never imagined that after the Sage of Six Paths disappeared into the Pure Land, a ninja in the present world could still awaken the Rinnegan.
"With that guy around, I don't have to worry about this kid's life or death anymore. Awoo... I'll go back to sleep."
The Inner world lingered for a long time, but only a moment passed in the outside world.
Uchiha Sasuke looked into the distance, his expression solemn.
"Prepare yourself, Uchiha Itachi! I will never let you die at the hands of others for no reason. I will be the one who kills you!"
Uchiha Itachi frowned, the Three Tomoe in his eyes swirling slightly, and the chakra within his body subtly shifted.
"Someone, someone please save Konoha! The village is in danger!!!"
Sakura collapsed to her seat, looking dazed, seemingly having lost all will to resist.
Faced with this near-disaster, even the seasoned Akatsuki was stunned and took defensive measures.
"Damn it, I haven't even earned my teacher's approval yet, how could I possibly die here!"
Hinata's expression changed, and a touch of emerald green quietly settled in her eyes. The Otsutsuki chakra hidden within her body was constantly altering the structure of her Byakugan.
In the distance, Neji's expression changed as he indifferently looked down at the Tailed Beast Bomb that was about to rush towards him, and he assumed a Gentle Fist stance.
"Absolutely not allowed! This thing must not be allowed to invade our clan! Eight Trigrams - Void Explosion!"
"That's enough, Neji. Leave the rest to me..."
A gentle, indifferent voice lingered in his ears, and the determination in Neji's eyes instantly turned into fervor.
" Huayue- sama!"
In an instant, a calm and indifferent tone echoed between heaven and earth. One by one, the ninjas who had lost the will to resist felt an unprecedented surge of courage upon hearing these words that contained hidden power.
" The Heaven's Chosen... Binding Path Eighty-One: Severing the Void."
Just as the enormous Tailed Beast Bomb was about to crash into Konoha, transparent walls suddenly appeared, accompanied by an exquisite and intricate black Mangekyō, separating time and space from all things.
Time and space froze at that moment, and after a brief silence, pure white light engulfed the area within dozens of miles of Konoha.
The greatest sound is silent; the pure white that swallowed everything quietly dissipated, and sunlight shone down once more.
Looking around, the area surrounding Konoha, once covered in lush green grass and vegetation, has been completely turned into scorched earth.
Only Konoha, protected by four intricate Mangekyō, remained safe and sound.
"This chakra is..."
Sasori of the Red Sands's expression changed, and two scrolls, completely different from those in the Performance of a Hundred Puppets, fell into his hands.
"The real troublemaker has arrived. Where has the leader gone? I don't want my artwork to fall into the hands of my natural enemy."
Amidst the strange gazes of the Anbu members, Sasori of the Red Sands, who had been wreaking havoc, fled like the wind towards the edge of Konoha.
Uchiha Itachi's eyes changed slightly. The Susanoo to activate quietly dissipated. He stared at his younger brother in front of him, his tone indifferent.
"You have indeed grown a lot, but that's not enough. When you have the same eyes as me, then stand in front of me and spout nonsense, you foolish little brother, Tsukuyomi!"
In a fleeting moment, Sasuke's eyes went from being filled with murderous intent to being completely disoriented. Uchiha Itachi glanced deeply at the figure in the distance, and crows flew away into the distance.
"The real troublemaker is coming, kid. I'll save your heart for when I see you again, and I'll come back and take it from you myself!"
Kakuzu, Kakuzu switched to remote mode, leaped towards the outside of Konoha. Naruto's eyes were icy cold, and a massive amount of chakra visibly gathered in his palm.
"A relic of the old era. Don't spout nonsense in the face of the new era's tide. Sage Art: Blaze Release: Rasenshuriken!"
Like a real shuriken, it suddenly traversed countless times and arrived beside Kakuzu, flashing a dazzling light as a storm and flames suddenly exploded!
In the blink of an eye, a second sun replaced the sun in the sky. After the Huo Guang disappeared, the battered Kakuzu fell from the sky, creating a crater comparable to that of a small meteorite.
"You bastard, you were hiding such a powerful move! Why didn't you...?"
" The Rasenshuriken is powerful, but it can easily cause secondary damage to Konoha. At such close range, it could get others caught in it, which would have serious consequences. Who told you to jump into the air yourself, an old stubborn person left behind by the tides of time?"
Naruto's red robes fluttered in the wind as Naruto spoke indifferently, then looked towards the distant figure with a deep longing in his eyes.
"Compared to you, Huayue- san, who can block four Tailed Beast Bomb in an instant, is the real formidable rival and mentor worthy of our attention."
" Huayue, Uchiha Huayue is your teacher, no wonder he produced a monster like you..."
With his eyes slowly closed and all five of his hearts Kakuzu, Kakuzu became the first Akatsuki member to die in the Konoha Crush Plan.
Dozens of miles outside Konoha, Nagato's eyes were cold, as if he had expected all of this.
" One-Tail, Two-Tails, Four-Tails, Six-Tails —the four great nations didn't deploy all their Tailed Beast after all. But that's fine; it's time to get down to business..."
"The real plan? Your goal isn't to destroy Konoha, so what exactly do you want, Nagato!"
Jiraiya demanded an explanation, but Nagato turned his Nagato away and raised his right hand.
"This is a necessary sacrifice for the sake of lasting world peace. Please do not hinder my plans, Master Jiraiya..."
