"Right here! Die with me!!!"
Kitano's frantic and resolute roar, along with the terrifying explosion that shook the heavens and the earth, detonated together at the bow of the " Kamui "!
The dazzling Kakkō engulfed everything in an instant!
The violent shockwave swept outwards in all directions like a raging tsunami!
The glass of countless buildings in the Land of Fire's capital below was instantly pulverized by this shockwave!
Billions of viewers around the world watching the "live broadcast" instinctively held their breath at that moment!
Only one thought remained in everyone's mind.
Is it over?
Is the once invincible Uchiha fleet about to suffer a devastating blow from a suicide attack by an unknown samurai?
However, the next second, as the Kakkō and smoke slowly dissipated, the scene that appeared on the light screen made everyone's eyes almost pop out of their sockets!
The massive " Kamui " warship remained silently suspended in the air, completely still.
Its black hull, made of a special alloy and as smooth as a mirror, showed no signs of damage, not even a trace of blackening from an explosion!
At its bow, a thin, translucent energy shield composed of countless hexagonal energy grids was slowly rotating, effortlessly isolating all explosions and impacts.
"This—how is this possible?!"
In the underground chamber of the Capital of Wind, Ebizo suddenly stood up from his seat, his face filled with utter horror!
"That's the energy field of Susanoo! They actually solidified Susanoo into the warship's standard shield?!"
"And it's a 'composite defensive barrier' formed by the superposition of the force fields of hundreds of Susanoo?!"
"They're insane—these Uchiha are absolutely insane!!"
Ebizo's exclamation echoed the sentiments of ninjas worldwide.
Susanoo the ultimate defense, known as "divine power," that can only be activated by those who Mangekyō Sharingan!
Each Susanoo represents a powerful fighter at the Kage Level or even Super Kage Level!
But now the Uchiha are so extravagant as to use this power as "armor" for their warships?!
This is no longer a war.
This is a blatant insult to the entire world, using money and power!
Bridge of the " Kamui " frigate.
The thousand Uchiha children watched the slowly fading Kakkō outside the porthole, their expressions remarkably identical.
It wasn't the relief of surviving a disaster, nor the admiration for the enemy's fearlessness, but a pure, heartfelt contempt and incomprehension towards the weak.
"So noisy."
Uchiha Shō picked at his ear, pursed his lips, and looked at the empty void with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Why do something so pointless when you can't even break through one of our shields?"
"Does he really think he can shake the divine authority by shouting a few slogans and risking his life?"
"Foolish, so incredibly foolish."
Although his words were filled with childlike innocence and cruelty, they also represented the sentiments of all the new generation of Uchiha present.
In their worldview, shaped by the "elite education of the Divine Kingdom," weakness is the original sin.
To sacrifice oneself for a doomed and meaningless goal is to compound one's sins.
Only when Uchiha Yōko saw Kitano self-destruct did a very complex light flash in her Sharingan with their Mitsudomoe.
She seemed to see something she had never seen before in the samurai's eyes.
That thing isn't called "stupidity".
It seems to be called "belief"?
"Keep going."
Uchiha Itachi's icy voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
He didn't even lift his eyelids once, as if the earth-shattering self-destruction just now was nothing more than a moth futilely flying into a lamp.
The massive fleet set sail once more.
This time, nothing dared to block their path.
Just half an hour later.
A vast ruin, filled with an aura of deathly silence and desolation, appeared directly beneath the fleet.
Former site of Konoha.
arrive.
"The entire fleet hovered at an altitude of five thousand meters."
"Activate the ' Tsukuyomi ' barrier, sealing off all space within a hundred miles."
"All units are on high combat alert."
"The first to third batches of the ' Kamui ' Dragonfly unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have all been released, conducting a comprehensive, indiscriminate scan of the area below."
Itachi issued his orders methodically.
The entire fleet, like a sophisticated war machine, instantly switched from cruise mode to combat mode.
Countless mechanical dragonflies, smaller than mosquitoes and shimmering with a faint red light, surged out from the bellies of the various warships like a tide, silently merging into the ruins below.
On the main screen of the bridge, countless data streams refreshed rapidly like a waterfall.
Every corner, every stone, and even every grain of dust in the ruins below was rapidly modeled and analyzed under the scanning of the " Amaterasu " mainframe, leaving nothing hidden.
"Report! Area A is safe!"
"Report! Area B is safe!"
"Report! High-energy reaction detected 30 meters underground in Zone C-3! Suspected to be Explosive Tag trap! Marked!"
"Report! A large-scale spatial distortion has been detected beneath the Hokage Rock ruins in Sector D-5! Energy level - incalculable! Suspected to be a major enemy position!"
One piece of intelligence after another was quickly compiled and presented to Itachi.
Itachi's gaze immediately locked onto the area representing the " Hokage Rock ".
He knew Orochimaru and Danzo were there.
Their clumsy and ridiculous "god-killing" drama is about to begin there.
"Very good."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Itachi's lips.
Switch the main screen to area D-5.
"Simultaneously establish highest-level communication with the Moon Palace."
"Let our lord and the world's audience enjoy this."
"What kind of 'spectacular' performance will these spirits of the old era deliver for us in their final moments?"
At his command, the image on the main screen instantly switched.
Beneath the massive ruins of Hokage Rock, an enormous, man-made underground cavity was clearly visible to everyone.
In the center of the void, a huge and malevolent purple magic circle was slowly rotating, emanating a nauseating aura of death.
Orochimaru stood in the center of the magic circle, his hands Hand Seals, a sickly yet fanatical smile on his face.
Shimura Danzō stood beside him, leaning on his cane, his single eye gleaming with the flames of revenge.
Surrounding them were Ebizo, Kitsuchi, and dozens of elite missing-nin from Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure.
Each of them stared with a mixture of fear and anticipation at the four enormous coffins placed side by side in front of the magic circle!
"First", "Second", "Fourth".
And that most ominous coffin, which had no inscription but was painted with Uchiha Gunbai!
The time has come!
Orochimaru's androgynous, hoarse voice echoed through the empty underground cave!
"Use the blood of the dead as a catalyst, and the souls of the living as a sacrifice!"
"Return from the abyss of the Yomi, my strongest servants!"
Forbidden Technique: Impure World Reincarnation!
boom--!!!!
The lids of all four coffins exploded at the same time!
Four distinct yet equally powerful streams of terrifying Chakra, strong enough to change the weather and silence the heavens and earth, soared into the sky!
However, just when everyone thought that the four legendary "gods" were about to reappear in Setsuna world, a sharp alarm that caught everyone off guard and filled with extreme panic suddenly rang out simultaneously on the bridge of the " Kamui " and in the Divine Grace Hall in the Moon Palace!
"Warning! Warning! Unknown, extremely dangerous energy reaction detected!"
"The energy source is located 10,000 meters underground, directly beneath the former site of Konoha!"
"Warning! This energy reaction is strongly resonating with the ' Yin Moon ' coordinates! The spatial structure is extremely unstable!"
"The energy level is climbing exponentially! It has already surpassed the computing power limit of the ' Amaterasu ' mainframe!"
"Warning! This energy intensity surpasses that of the First Hokage at his peak by ten times!!"
The Uchiha clansman in charge of communications on the bridge suddenly looked up, his young face filled with unprecedented horror and fear, as if he had seen a ghost!
He looked at Uchiha Itachi, his voice trembling so much that it became broken and almost incoherent!
"Itachi—Lord Itachi! Amaterasu —the mainframe has transmitted—the Lord's—highest divine decree!"
The oracle contained only two words!
