Before the Ten-Tails had completely disappeared into the depths of the starry sea, the massive war machine of the Shinobi World had already transformed all its grief and sorrow into a frenzied drive to forge a defensive shield. The objective was clear—to establish an insurmountable defensive line in that star field marked as the "Descent Point," where countless comrades had been buried!
In the cold universe, the once desolate perimeter of the "Arrival Point" has become more bustling than ever before.
Thousands of elite Earth Release Elite Jonin Earth Release, and even hundreds of Golden Core Immortal Venerable personally took action. They wore specially made spacesuits, and their Chakra (or Senjutsu Chakra ) surged around them like small stars, illuminating the dark void.
" Senjutsu: Chibaku Tensei!"
A Golden Core Immortal Venerable of the Uchiha Clan clasped his hands together, his voice booming like a bell. With his shout, an invisible, powerful gravitational force spread out from him, drawing countless fragments of asteroids, meteorites, and even the wreckage of warships left over from previous battles towards him like iron filings attracted by a magnet! Huge rocks groaned under the crushing force, colliding, squeezing, and fusing together! Dust filled the air, energy overflowed, and an irregular celestial body, nearly a hundred kilometers in diameter, rapidly took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This is not an isolated case.
On the other side, a Immortal Venerable of the Uchiha Clan, using the precise control of the Rinnegan and the extreme heat of Fire Style, melted and shaped the collected materials, creating a star whose surface even had a glassy luster after cooling, making it even more solid.
The powerful members of the Hyuga Clan use their Byakugan to perceive weaknesses in the structure of matter, guiding gravity to precisely destroy and then reassemble them, resulting in an exceptionally dense internal structure of celestial bodies.
The Nara Clan's ninjas were responsible for calculating the gravitational balance between orbits and celestial bodies, ensuring that these hundreds of artificial celestial bodies would not collide with each other, but instead form a stable and orderly array of stars.
This is nothing short of a miracle! With the body of a mortal (though a powerful Immortal Cultivation ), they performed the work of a creator god, creating a dense artificial star field in the void of the universe! These newly born stars vary in size and shape, like stubborn rocks scattered at the beginning of the universe, but beneath their cold surfaces, they are about to be infused with the most advanced killing wisdom of the Shinobi World.
As soon as the nascent star system stabilized, the massive engineering fleet that had been waiting in the distance swarmed in like worker bees drawn by the scent of nectar.
The large transport ship slowly approached the newborn planet. The hatches opened, revealing a dense array of components and weapon systems, gleaming with a cold metallic glint. Engineering ninjas—a group of unconventional artists on the battlefield—piloted massive engineering mechs, like nimble worker bees, drilling, excavating, and reinforcing these "space boulders."
"The internal space expansion of Sector A-7 is complete! Installation of the ' Torch Dragon ' class super-heavy energy cannon base is now underway!"
"B-3 Shield Generator Matrix Node Deployment Complete. Requesting Energy Pipe Connection!"
"Drilling of missile silo C-12 is complete; preparations are underway to install the ' Tsubasa ' series ultra-long-range rune missiles!"
The cacophony of commands echoed across the construction sites via encrypted communication networks. Inside the star, the interior was rapidly hollowed out, forming an intricate yet formidable steel labyrinth that met the highest standards of defensive fortification. Thick, special alloy plates infused with Chakra- conducting metal were welded on, forming the inner walls; massive energy pipes stretched out like blood vessels; and a dense network of wires was integrated together, resembling a neural network.
Then, the real "killer app" entered the fray.
The " World Purification " series of nuclear warheads, a combination of Chakra technology and Earth nuclear physics, and further enhanced with Senjutsu runes, were carefully transported in using a specially designed anti-gravity levitation platform and placed one by one into launch silos deep within the core of the planet. Their cold, metallic shells were engraved with complex Sealing Jutsu and energy guiding runes, lying dormant yet radiating a destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine.
The rails of the high-speed electromagnetic railgun were transported in sections and assembled in the huge internal space, the deep barrel of which seemed to devour light.
The countless reflecting prisms and emitters of the " Heavenly Punishment " laser matrix are precisely positioned, and once activated, they can instantly form a comprehensive high-energy laser network.
There are also space-stabilizing anchors capable of interfering with and distorting space, " Spirit Binding " energy field generators targeting energy life forms, and large-scale " Metal Wind Thunderstorm " projectors targeting physical legions... All sorts of futuristic weapons that have only appeared on theoretical blueprints or have just come out of the laboratory have been installed in these front-line fortresses without any hesitation.
Each fortress is an independent war stronghold, a steel hedgehog covered in deadly spikes!
Having powerful individual fortresses is not enough. Under the joint design of the Nara Clan geniuses (led by Shikamaru Nara ) and many array masters, these hundreds of artificial planets of varying sizes are not randomly piled up, but arranged according to a mysterious and vast array that draws on cosmic energy ( Natural Energy ).
From a macroscopic star map perspective, these fortress celestial bodies clearly form a massive, three-dimensional array that completely envelops the "descent point"! They are interconnected via strong energy signals and short-range space jump beacons, allowing for energy transfer, shield stacking, and coordinated attacks! A single move affects the entire system! To break through this defense line, one must simultaneously face the fury of hundreds of interconnected fortresses!
At this crucial juncture of the Steel Star Chain, an even more powerful entity has taken up residence—nine Tailed Beast interstellar carriers!
They no longer serve as mobile assault forces, but have become the Sea God and core firepower platform of this defense system. Like nine real Xingchen, they guard the nine important "eyes" of the formation.
The Kurama, Shukaku, Matatabi... each aircraft carrier is like a Xingchen. Although the Kurama is battered and bruised, after emergency repairs and energy replenishment, it still exudes a chilling aura. The energy shields of these interstellar carriers connect with the shields of nearby fortresses, forming an even thicker regional barrier; their main guns are charging, locking onto the central void; their fighters and mechs are ready to strike at any time, filling any possible gaps in the defense.
In addition to the Tailed Beast Carrier, the five most elite legions of the Allied Shinobi Forces — Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Kirin —have also begun to take turns sending troops to various fortresses for duty and defense drills.
Yang Lineage and Yin Branch ninjas excel at frontal assaults and positional defense; their Chakra is brimming with vitality and resilience. Lightning Branch and Fire Branch Shinobi World possess unparalleled speed and assault capabilities, with lightning flashing between their fortresses. Wind Branch ninjas are masters of long-range attacks and puppet control, with countless automated puppets patrolling the passageways. Earth Branch and Water Branch ninjas possess the strongest defense, responsible for holding the most critical pressure points. Special tactical units composed of Kekkei Genkai from the four sacred lands and various clans are prepared to deal with all sorts of unexpected and bizarre situations.
The cold, steel fortress seemed to be infused with a soul by the arrival of these vibrant lives. The sounds of training, machinery, and energy charging transformed this once desolate starfield into a vast, imposing, and ever-ready cosmic meat grinder, ready to devour any invading enemy!
Several years later, the massive project was finally nearing completion.
Standing on the bridge of the Kurama, Naruto Uzumaki looked out the porthole and saw a scene that would shock or even suffocate anyone who saw it.
Hundreds of artificial celestial bodies, like silent giants, bathed in the light of distant stars, were cold and menacing. Their surfaces were covered with menacing cannons and launch silos, and energy shield generators were faintly visible. Between the celestial bodies were patrolling fighter squadrons and ninja squads from the five legions. Further away, the other eight Tailed Beast carriers, like lurking behemoths, echoed the Kurama.
Every cannon muzzle, every missile, every energy focus point was pointed, without exception, at the center of that star field that had once brought death and despair, but was now completely empty.
An extreme silence enveloped this airspace, but beneath this silence lay a boundless, devastating power, ready to be unleashed.
A young Uchiha Clan leaned against the control panel of an electromagnetic railgun, gazing at the dark universe outside, and whispered to his companion beside him, "Hey, do you think... they'll come back?"
His companion, a member of the Hyuga Clan, Byakugan remained constantly activated, vigilantly scanned the distant void. He replied calmly, "Whether they come or not is unimportant. What matters is that they dare to come..."
He paused, then said with absolute certainty, "This is their grave!"
Everyone understood that this " Steel Star Chain," forged with the full power of the Shinobi World, was the last bulwark of human civilization. Behind it lay the Shinobi World, their home, and everything they were sworn to protect with their lives.
They waited here, silently. They waited for the invasion alarm to sound again, which they didn't know when, and for the final battle that was destined to be brutal, yet unavoidable.
Every fortress, every nuclear bomb and laser cannon, every ninja stationed here knows clearly—when the enemy reappears, they will have no way out but to fight to the death! And this barrage of artillery fire and nuclear bombs across the starry sky will be their final elegy to the enemy.
