"I'll make them drain Chakra from under this wall."
Gen'yō's calm yet absolutely confident words excited both Obito and Shisui.
They could already foresee the interesting expressions on the faces of those arrogant Kumogakure after they witnessed the true power of the Divine Kingdom.
Three days later.
The Land of Earth, on its eastern border.
This place was once a desolate Gobi Desert and rolling mountains, but now a magnificent miracle beyond words stands before everyone.
"What the hell is this?!"
A Jonin Kumogakure stared in disbelief at the enormous golden energy canopy that stretched ten thousand meters into the sky and seemed to have no end. His voice became hoarse from the sheer shock.
Thirty thousand Kumogakure stretched across the entire horizon like a black tide. But before this miraculous "wall," they appeared so small, like ants gazing at the stars.
This wall was made up of countless crystal towers, each a thousand meters high, connected together. Its surface was covered with visible torrents of energy composed of countless mysterious golden runes. A pure, vast, sacred, and inviolable pressure swept over everyone, causing them to hold their breath.
"Gulp."
Many ninjas swallowed hard. Their pride in their fighting spirit was diminished by a third in the face of this wall.
"Hmph! Playing tricks!"
A loud shout, like a thunderclap, dispelled the heavy atmosphere.
The Fourth Raikage A, leaped out from the rear of the army and landed steadily at the forefront. He looked up at the magnificent " Wall of the Divine Kingdom," which seemed beyond human capability to build. Although a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he felt more anger and disdain at being provoked.
"It's just a huge barrier! Even the sturdiest tortoise shell can be smashed!"
Raikage A looked around and gave the first battle order to the Jonin Kumogakure behind him!
"First, second, and third battalions, advance!"
"Yes!"
Three thousand carefully selected Kumogakure from Jonin in unison and instantly rushed to the front of the column. They were the elite of Kumogakure, each one a veteran of countless battles and a master of powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
"Use your strongest Ninjutsu to blast a hole in this crumbling wall!" Raikage A roared.
"Yes, Lord Raikage!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the three thousand Jonin began to rapidly Hand Seals!
Suddenly, the air was filled with the crackling sound of thunder! Countless dazzling blue lightning bolts lit up the crowd, converging into a sea of lightning!
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
Lightning Release: Black Panther!
Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!
Lightning Release: Earth Flow!
Hundreds upon hundreds of different Lightning Release Ninjutsu were unleashed at the same time!
Black lightning spears, roaring lightning panthers, giant lightning balls tens of meters in diameter, and lightning spreading across the earth like a spider web—thousands of powerful B-rank and even A-rank Ninjutsu converged into a devastating torrent of Ninjutsu, carrying a terrifying force capable of instantly leveling a mountain, and slammed fiercely into that golden Wall of the Divine Kingdom!
Faced with such a terrifying saturation attack, let alone a barrier, even Tailed Beast would probably have to retreat!
All the Kumogakure held their breath and stared wide-eyed, anticipating the spectacular sight of that "broken wall" being torn apart and shattered!
However!
What happened next nearly made everyone's eyes pop out of their sockets!
Rumble rumble rumble--!
The devastating torrent of Ninjutsu crashed squarely into the golden sky.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
There was no earth-shattering roar.
The thousands of violent Lightning Release Ninjutsu were swallowed up silently the moment they touched the golden sky, as if they had been thrown into the sea!
The golden sky rippled only slightly, like the surface of water, before returning to calm.
It was as if that devastating attack just now was merely three thousand people simultaneously throwing three thousand pebbles onto the lake.
quiet.
A deathly silence.
The only sound on the entire battlefield was the wind.
All the Kumogakure, including the commander-in-chief Raikage A, froze in place as if they had been frozen in place, their faces filled with the same word—disbelief!
What happened?
"Our Ninjutsu has been absorbed?"
"That's impossible! That was the full-force attack of three thousand Jonin!"
Just as the Kumogakure Army was in a state of collective stagnation.
A cold, emotionless electronic female voice, as if it were a divine pronouncement from the heavens, suddenly emanated from the golden canopy, resounding throughout the entire battlefield!
[Alert. Large-scale, high-intensity malicious attack detected.]
[Attack Energy Judgment: Lightning Release Chakra ]
[Initiating the "Energy Absorption-Conversion-Amplification-Counterattack" program.]
[Total energy absorbed: 1,375,000 kcal. Energy conversion rate: 99.8%. Amplification rate: 300%.]
[Counterattack procedure initiated.]
What is that?!
Upon hearing this chilling announcement, Raikage A felt a sudden and extremely ominous premonition rise in his heart!
Before he could even react!
Buzz--!
The golden canopy that had just devoured all the Ninjutsu had its countless runes instantly turn from gold to a dazzling white-gold!
Immediately afterwards, thousands of enormous energy cannons, each over a meter in diameter, appeared out of thin air above the sky!
Each cannon barrel was precisely locked Jonin a Kumogakure Jonin who had just launched an attack!
A destructive energy, a hundred times more terrifying than the combined attack of three thousand Jonin, was gathering at a terrifying speed in the muzzles of those cannons!
"Oh no! Scatter!!"
Raikage A let out a horrified roar. The Lightning Release Chakra around his body instantly exploded to its maximum, preparing to rush to the rescue as quickly as possible.
However, it was too late.
Have a pleasant journey.
The moment the cold, electronic female voice fell silent.
Swish swish swish swish--!
Three thousand thick, platinum-gold energy beams, each thick enough to instantly evaporate a mountain peak, descended from the sky like a divine sword of judgment, moving at a speed beyond visual perception!
That wasn't Lightning Release, and that wasn't any known Ninjutsu!
That was a pure, highly condensed torrent of high-dimensional energy, powerful enough to annihilate all matter!
"Aaaaaaah--!"
The piercing screams lasted for less than a second before abruptly ceasing.
Those three thousand Elite Jonin Kumogakure, who served as the vanguard, didn't even have a chance to struggle. They were completely evaporated and vaporized under the Divine Punishment rain of light, leaving not even a speck of dust behind!
As the platinum-gold light faded.
Where the three thousand men had originally stood on the battlefield, now lay three thousand bottomless, terrifying craters with edges completely vitrified by the intense heat!
A gentle breeze swept by, stirring up a cloud of dust that carried the smell of burning.
The remaining 27,000 Kumogakure stared blankly at the empty space ahead, at the 3,000 glazed pits emitting wisps of smoke, their minds completely blank.
Their companions, their comrades-in-arms, the elite of Kumogakure—
It's gone just like that?
In a single encounter, without even seeing a shadow of the enemy, the entire army was wiped out?!
A chill that penetrated to the bone ran straight from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads! The look in their eyes as they gazed at the still calm "wall" flowing with golden runes was no longer one of astonishment, but of boundless fear, as if they were looking at the Grim Reaper!
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
As Raikage A stared at the three thousand empty holes, he roared like a madman! His eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and his bronze face was twisted with extreme rage!
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!!!"
This is an utter disgrace! This is an unprecedented humiliation in the history of Kumogakure!
"All troops! All troops, charge!"
Raikage A was blinded by rage. He pointed at the golden sky and roared hysterically.
"Use Ninjutsu! Use Taijutsu! Use Explosive Tag! Use everything you have! Blast! I refuse to believe this son of a bitch can hold out forever!"
The Raikage's roar brought the terrified Kumogakure back to their senses. But as they looked at the golden wall hanging overhead like the Grim Reaper's scythe, their eyes were filled with hesitation and retreat.
Just then...
A communication request was initiated into the highest command center of the Divine Kingdom and appeared directly on the holographic screen in front of Gen'yō.
The image shows an elderly man with white hair and beard, a large, red nose, and a face filled with anxiety and indignation.
It was none other than the previous Tsuchikage, Ōnoki!
" Lord Gen'yō!"
Ōnoki's voice was a little hoarse with excitement.
"Although I have abdicated, this is still the land I have protected my entire life! Now, watching those juniors from Kumogakure Village run rampant on our doorstep, I can no longer tolerate it!"
"Please allow me to fight! Let those arrogant fools taste the power of Dust Release!"
