Across the boundless blue sky, a red comet streaked at astonishing speed, leaving a long tail in the atmosphere like a brilliant rainbow spanning heaven and earth.
A deafening roar approached from afar, rapidly drawing nearer.
Everyone on the battlefield looked up at the comet descending from the sky with unstoppable force, as though the power to destroy the world were falling upon them.
Before anyone could react, the comet traced a spectacular arc across the sky and plummeted in a blaze of dazzling red flames.
"Rumble!!!"
The instant the comet struck, heaven and earth seemed to fall briefly silent.
Then the earth split and crumbled. Flames, smoke, and dust surged skyward, blotting out the sky, and even the sun's light dimmed at that moment.
In an instant, a piercing light burst forth, too dazzling to look at directly, and everyone closed their eyes.
A transparent ring of shock waves spread rapidly, destroying everything on the ground. The numerous Iwa Shinobi could not withstand this calamity-like impact. Wails rang out as countless people were flung into the air, then swallowed by flames and dust.
The immensely powerful shock wave continued onward, hurling people away, uprooting plants and trees, completely destroying all vegetation before slamming into the valley walls with unparalleled force.
Huge chunks of rock were torn from the cliffs and tumbled down amid thunderous rumbling.
The shock wave pulverized everything in its path. The hurricane following close behind rampaged like a ferocious beast, tearing at everything. Dust filled the air, and heaven and earth seemed to descend into chaos.
The comet had landed right on the Iwa Shinobi's position, so the numerous Ninja of Iwagakure were naturally the first to experience the calamity's power.
"Watch out!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Ah!"
"Gather together and hold it off! Hurry!"
