"Rumble..."
The Rock Giant strode forward, boldly charging into the White Zetsu Army in just a few steps.
The ground began to tremble with its movements.
Before the White Zetsu could retaliate, the Rock Giant began rampaging under Ōnoki's control.
Fashioned entirely from hard rock, the monster possessed not only unparalleled defense but also tremendous force in every movement.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The Rock Giant raised its massive foot and stomped down. Amid a deafening boom, more than a dozen White Zetsu were crushed into pulp and mashed into the earth before they could even scream.
"Bam!"
A casual punch shattered several more White Zetsu, sending them flying like meteors before their scattered remains vanished from sight.
"Join up with Kakashi and the others first!"
Standing atop the Rock Giant, Ōnoki gave the order. He had brought his troops here not to kill as many White Zetsu as possible, but to rescue the Third Division led by Kakashi Hatake.
"Yes!"
"Charge!"
"Everyone, open a path as quickly as possible!"
Once the two forces joined up, there would still be time to fight the White Zetsu Army.
Of course, Ōnoki did not yet know the Third Division's exact situation.
Nor did he know that Mifune had already arrived with the Fifth Division.
Still, breaking through the White Zetsu Army's encirclement and joining the Third Division was indeed the right decision.
Ōnoki had to meet Kakashi first to learn the battle's detailed progress and determine their subsequent battle plans.
"Keep up!"
With Ōnoki as its spearhead, the Second Division began at the flank and charged furiously toward the position held by Kakashi and the others.
No matter how staggering the number of White Zetsu surging toward them, none could halt their advance.
Any White Zetsu facing the Rock Giant controlled by Ōnoki
