"Smash it!!!"
Raikage A's iron fist, imbued with the power of Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop, slammed into Fugaku's dark purple Susanoo's breastplate like a blue meteor streaking across the night!
Thump--!!!!
A deafening roar, so deep it seemed to shake the very fabric of space, suddenly erupted!
Centered on the point of contact between the fist and the breastplate, a visible white shockwave, composed of pure force, spread wildly like ripples! The earth was cleaved open by this shockwave, creating a huge trench tens of meters deep!
The Kumogakure forward and the Uchiha warriors Hand Seals were involuntarily thrown back by this terrifying shockwave!
At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to consist only of this earth-shattering strike!
Raikage A's face still bore that crazed and ferocious smile.
He succeeded!
He could clearly feel that his fist had pierced through the energy armor and touched the core skeleton of Susanoo!
However--
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds passed.
The scene he had envisioned—the purple giant shattering—did not occur.
The massive Susanoo only slid back less than ten meters by his full-force attack. A huge dent appeared on its breastplate, and countless cracks spread out like a spider web, but that was all!
Instead of widening, the crack healed rapidly at a visible speed under the repair of an even more powerful Chakra!
How is that possible?
The smile on Raikage A's face froze instantly, replaced by a deeper despair and disbelief than ever before.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at his right arm.
That iron fist, which once shattered the Eight-Tails ' horn and was hailed as the Strongest Spear in the Shinobi World, was now a bloody mess, its bones broken inch by inch, twisted at an eerie angle. A charred, ominous flame was creeping upwards from his wounds like a leech, scorching his nerves and Chakra.
It's Amaterasu's flames!
No, that's not right! It's a special flame belonging to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, colder and harder to extinguish than Amaterasu!
"Your strongest attack was just a tickle?"
Inside Susanoo, Fugaku's voice, filled with endless mockery and chilling killing intent, clearly reached the Raikage's ears.
"So--"
"As a return gift, you'll have to take one of my moves too."
The massive Chakra katana that had just been dodged drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and with a deathly howl, slashed horizontally again towards Raikage A, who was exhausted, had his right arm crippled, and could no longer dodge!
It's over!
Raikage A watched the blade of light rapidly enlarge in his pupils, and a chill ran through him.
He never imagined he would die here in such a humiliating way.
He didn't even manage to touch the opponent's true form.
However, just a fraction of a second before the deadly blade touched his neck!
A sudden change has occurred!
"Hey! Big brother, you're in trouble, let me help you out, yay!"
A strange sound, full of rhythm and unique cadence, accompanied by a burst of violent ink falling from the sky!
boom!
Eight enormous, mountain-thick octopus tentacles shot out from behind the Raikage with tremendous force, like eight wildly dancing dragons, tightly binding the massive blade and arm that Susanoo slash down!
hiss hiss hiss--
The massive blade rubbed against the slime on the tentacle's surface, producing a piercing, acidic sound!
That powerful strike, capable of splitting mountains and cleaving seas, was actually blocked!
Immediately afterwards, a burly figure carrying eight swords and wearing sunglasses landed beside Raikage with a dashing air.
It was another trump card of the Kumogakure, the most perfect Eight-Tails Jinchuriki — Killer B!
"B! You--" Raikage A looked at her suddenly appearing younger brother, both surprised and delighted.
"Don't speak, big brother!" Killer B's expression turned unusually serious. He supported the swaying Raikage, his gaze fixed on the massive purple Susanoo. "This guy is an absolutely terrifying monster! He's even more terrifying than the Eight-Tails when it goes berserk, you idiot! You bastard!"
Fugaku looked at the eight giant tentacles that had suddenly appeared and the rapper blocking the Raikage's path, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but it quickly turned into understanding.
"So the Eight-Tails ' Jinchūriki has appeared too? Great, saves us the trouble of searching for you again."
He snorted coldly, Susanoo suddenly exerted force in its arm, trying to shake off the eight tentacles!
However, the power of Killer B's Eight-Tails far exceeded his expectations! Its eight tentacles, like the toughest chewing gum, tightly bound his arms, making it difficult for him to break free for a time!
"Interesting." A fighting spirit began to rise in Fugaku's eyes.
"Big brother, let's attack together!" Killer B shouted to the Raikage, "Use that!"
Although Raikage A's right arm was crippled, his pride as Raikage remained! He roared and stood back-to-back with Killer B, assuming the starting stance of their ultimate combined technique, "Absolute Bull: Lariat," which made them famous!
Although they were missing an arm, the aura they exuded was even more resolute than before!
"Still trying to resist? Foolish struggle."
Fugaku sneered. The enormous wings on the back of his dark purple Susanoo unfurled! Countless purple Tomoe made of Chakra rained down on the Raikage brothers like a storm!
The Yasaka Magatama!
"B! Cover me!" Raikage roared.
"Leave it to me, big brother!" Killer B pushed the Eight-Tails 'Chakra to its limit, and eight huge tentacles formed an impenetrable "octopus fortress" above their heads, forcefully withstanding the bombardment of Tomoe from the sky!
Boom boom boom boom boom!
Violent explosions continued to erupt on the Octopus Fortress, and Killer B let out a muffled groan, clearly also under immense pressure.
Just when everyone's attention was drawn to this "shadow" level showdown.
"Father."
A calm voice resounded directly in Fugaku's mind through the unique spiritual link of the Divine Kingdom.
It was Gen'yō.
Your five minutes are up.
Fugaku was taken aback, then glanced at the battlefield. Because of his battle with the Raikage brothers, the Uchiha army had ceased its attack. Meanwhile, the Kumogakure army in the distance began to regroup during this brief respite.
Fugaku frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face. He was caught up in the excitement of the fight and had no intention of stopping so soon.
" Gen'yō, give me five more minutes! I can take care of those two brothers!" Fugaku's voice was full of confidence.
"No." Gen'yō's answer was simple and resolute. "I've said it before, this is a war to demonstrate the power of our Divine Kingdom to the world. Individual bravery is only one aspect of power. Next, I will show them the power of technology and numbers."
"Step down, Father. This is no longer your battlefield."
Gen'yō's tone left no room for argument.
Although Fugaku was unwilling, he had to obey the orders of his son and the King of the Divine Kingdom.
He glanced deeply at the Raikage brothers, who were struggling to survive the explosion, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
He then decisively dispelled Susanoo and issued orders to the army behind him.
"All troops retreat! Return to the rear of the fortifications!"
The Uchiha army moved swiftly and in perfect unison, just as they had when they arrived, without the slightest hesitation, and quickly retreated back into the huge gap.
"Um?"
Both the Raikage and Killer B were stunned.
What's going on? They were fighting so well, why did they suddenly retreat?
Could it be that they're afraid of the two brothers joining forces?
Just as they were filled with doubt and uncertainty, the huge gap in the Wall of the Divine Kingdom began to slowly close.
Just as the breach was about to close completely, they saw the ground behind the black and red army, on that vast land, begin to tremble violently.
It's as if some enormous creature is about to awaken from the earth!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hundreds and thousands of enormous, towering figures, tens of meters tall, made entirely of Chakra alloy shimmering with metallic luster, slowly rose from the ground!
Some of them resembled Tengu, others looked like Asura, each wielding a massive weapon capable of firing Chakra Cannon! Their eyes gleamed with a uniform, cold, and ruthless red electronic light!
This is the ultimate weapon of war created by Gen'yō by combining technology from his previous life, Puppet Technique, Sealing Jutsu, and the power of the system—the " Divine Might War Puppet Legion "!
At the very front of those hundreds and thousands of steel giants, a solitary figure stood silently.
He wore a black trench coat embroidered with red clouds, and his handsome face was expressionless. Only his Mangekyou Sharingan, with Mangekyō Sharingan peculiar triangular windmill pattern, was coldly watching the Raikage and Killer B in the distance.
It was Uchiha Itachi.
He slowly raised his hand and issued a cold command to the endless steel legion before him.
"Target: All enemy units ahead."
"The first wave, a ' Tailed Beast Bomb ' caliber Chakra Cannon, a saturation-coverage attack."
"Fire."
