"Fire."
Itachi's two cold, emotionless words, transmitted through the Chakra resonance device, transformed into a clear and unambiguous command, which entered the central core of each war puppet.
The next second.
The world seemed to have been Shizune.
Those hundreds and thousands of steel giants, each tens of meters tall, instantly locked onto the front with their relentlessly flashing red electronic eyes. At the same time, the menacing cannons on their chests, shoulders, and arms simultaneously blazed with an intensely brilliant energy light, powerful enough to burn the retina!
That energy is formed by the ultra-high density compression of Yin and Yang Chakra in the perfect ratio (8:2) through the miniature " Truth-Seeking Orb " generator inside the puppet's core!
Its essence is the same as that of the Tailed Beast Bomb!
"Oh no! This is an extremely high concentration of Chakra! Disperse!!"
Killer B, as a Perfect Jinchuriki, possessed a beast-like intuition born from the high degree of fusion with the Eight-Tails 'Chakra, and at this moment, he issued the most piercing alarm!
Almost instinctively, he pushed the Eight-Tails 'Chakra to its limit. The eight giant octopus tentacles instantly returned to defend, forming a giant cocoon that tightly enveloped him and the already severely injured Raikage A!
Tailed Beast Cloak: Final Defense Form!
However, it was too late.
Swish swish swish swish swish!
There was no earth-shattering roar of cannons, only a sharp whistling sound tearing through the air!
Thousands of Chakra energy cannons, each over three meters in diameter and shimmering with an eerie purple light, formed a net of death without any blind spots or gaps, like the judgmental light wielded by the Grim Reaper. They swept over the area where the remaining 20,000-plus Kumogakure Village army, along with the Raikage brothers, were located at a speed exceeding the speed of sound!
This was an unprecedented, inhumane, saturation-force attack born from the combination of technology and Ninjutsu!
Before the live global broadcast, whether it was the Hokage's office in Konoha, the Kazekage's building in Sunagakure, the meeting rooms in Kirigakure Iwagakure, or even underground gold exchange shops around the world, all the ninjas who saw this scene through various channels, whether they were Kage, Jonin, or ordinary Genin, were all petrified, their mouths agape, their eyes fixed on the destructive light that had turned the entire battlefield purple.
"What the hell is this thing?"
In a gold exchange, a well-known S-rank missing-nin, famous for his extensive knowledge, dropped his wine glass and shattered it on the ground with a "clatter," his voice trembling with extreme fear.
" Tailed Beast Bomb? Is this a simultaneous attack of thousands of Tailed Beast Bomb?!"
In Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi at the scene in the crystal ball that resembled Divine Punishment. His pipe had long since gone out, and cold sweat trickled down his wrinkled forehead.
He suddenly felt a wave of fear he had never experienced before.
If Uchiha Gen'yō had displayed this steel army instead of Susanoo above Konoha back then—
How many seconds could the entire Konoha withstand such an attack?
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!
It felt like an entire century had passed before the deafening explosion finally rang out!
The entire earth was wailing and trembling violently!
The shockwave from the explosion even caused violent energy ripples to spread across the Wall of the Divine Kingdom, which was several kilometers away!
In the area covered by artillery fire, everything was instantly decomposed and vaporized!
Mountains, rivers, forests—everything vanished before this absolute power!
As the blinding purple light slowly dissipated, a massive basin, over ten kilometers in diameter, bottomless, and with its edges completely vitrified by high-temperature energy, was forever branded onto this land like an ugly scar.
As for the more than 20,000 Kumogakure, they were completely wiped out of this world without even being able to utter a scream.
Not even a trace of DNA was left.
The battlefield fell into a deathly silence once again.
Only the thousands of cold war puppets remained in firing positions, wisps of smoke rising from their cannons, as if silently proclaiming their glorious achievements.
"Target cleared."
A complex emotion flashed in Itachi's eyes, but it ultimately transformed into absolute calm.
This is war.
This is what our lord meant by ending the conflict in the most efficient way.
However, just when everyone thought the war was over, in the very center of that huge basin, in that area that had been given special attention.
"Cough, cough."
A violent coughing fit came from a pile of charred, still steaming tentacle remains.
"Puff!"
An arm covered in burns and cracks suddenly emerged from the wreckage!
Killer B's disheveled figure struggled to crawl out from inside.
He was covered in blood, his signature Jonin vest had long since turned to ashes, the seven swords on his back were broken down to their hilts, and his cool sunglasses had flown off somewhere.
In that instant, he raised the Eight-Tails 'Chakra to a level beyond its limit, using its eight tentacles as the first layer of buffer, and his own and the Raikage's Tailed Beast Cloak as the second layer of buffer, barely managing to save his and his elder brother's lives amidst that devastating barrage.
However, the cost was that the Eight-Tails 'Chakra was almost completely depleted, and his body suffered unprecedented damage.
"Big brother! Big brother, how are you?!"
Ignoring his own injuries, Killer B frantically shoved aside the wreckage behind him and dragged out Raikage A, who was also in a terrible state and had already fainted.
The Raikage's situation was even worse. He was already severely injured, and now he was barely breathing, only exhaling and not inhaling.
"You bastard, you idiot!"
Killer B gazed upon this hellish scene, upon seeing the more than 20,000 compatriots instantly vaporized, his usually jovial face revealed, for the first time, overwhelming anger and sorrow!
His gaze pierced through the billowing smoke, fixing fixedly on the figure at the very front of that group of cold, steel giants— Uchiha Itachi, clad in a red cloud and black robe!
It was him! This man gave the order to attack!
Behind that golden wall that had closed again, stood the true culprit! Uchiha Gen'yō, who had manipulated them all!
"Unforgivable!"
Killer B's eyes instantly turned blood red, and the Chakra belonging to the Eight-Tails, filled with a violent and destructive aura, once again surged uncontrollably from his body!
I'm going to kill you all!
"Oh yeah!!"
Killer B let out a roar that was a mix of grief and rage with a rap-like style, and the massive Eight-Tails Chakra transformed into a giant claw that slammed into the ground!
boom!
Using this reaction force, his body shot into the sky like a cannonball, soaring over the heads of thousands of war puppets, his target the golden Wall of the Divine Kingdom!
He was going to charge in! He was going to find Uchiha Gen'yō! And then tear him to shreds with his fists!
"Sucker Punch."
Itachi coldly watched the figure rushing towards the barrier, slowly raising his hand, preparing to order the war golems to launch a second attack.
However, at that very moment...
A calm yet absolutely authoritative voice suddenly rang out across the entire battlefield.
The sound seemed to resonate directly in the depths of everyone's soul.
"Alright, Itachi."
The puppet show is over.
"In the next stage play, it's my turn to take the lead role."
The moment the words left his mouth, Killer B's charging figure abruptly stopped in mid-air!
Because in front of him, before that golden Wall of the Divine Kingdom, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air without any warning.
He was a young man with black hair and golden eyes. He wore a seemingly ordinary yet incredibly luxurious black robe, and his face carried a playful smile, as if he were watching an interesting drama.
He simply stood there quietly, yet he seemed to become the center of the entire world!
"Yo."
Uchiha Gen'yō looked at the Perfect Jinchuriki before him, covered in blood, with bloodshot eyes and filled with beastly rage, and smiled, waving gently as if greeting an old friend.
"So, you are the last trump card of the Kumogakure?"
"Nice to meet you, the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails."
"I am Uchiha Gen'yō."
"The culprit you're talking about, the one who needs to be torn to pieces."
