"Now! Ino-Shika-Cho! For the last vestige of Konoha's dignity!"
Shikaku Nara's desperate cry was like a boulder thrown into a still lake, instantly creating the final ripples on the chaotic battlefield!
"Oh oh oh oh oh!"
Akimichi Chōza let out a deafening roar, and his massive body instantly expanded to tens of meters tall under the effect of the secret technique " Multi-Size Technique "!
He tucked his limbs into his body, his hair transformed into sharp spikes, and his entire being, like a giant, destructive sea urchin, spun rapidly and crashed into the nearest Divine Kingdom warship in the air!
" Spiked Human Boulder!"
His goal was clear: not to attack Uchiha Itachi, that would be suicide!
He was willing to risk his life to create an opportunity for Inoichi and Shikaku, to attract the attention of those iron coffins in the sky!
At the same time, Inoichi Yamanaka had already formed hand Hand Seals and aimed them at the bridge of another warship.
" The Mind Body Disturbance Technique!"
His powerful mental energy transformed into an invisible sharp cone, piercing fiercely into the brain of the warship's pilot!
Meanwhile, Shikaku Nara's shadow had already spread to Uchiha Itachi's feet at an alarming speed!
Just one more tenth of a second!
He could use the " Shadow Imitation Technique " to briefly control the man who was unleashing a devastating Fire Style!
If it can make him pause, even for a second!
Tobirama and Minato below will have enough time to react and defuse the crisis!
The Ino-Shika-Cho Clans's centuries-old tactical coordination, considered the most perfect in the Shinobi World, was brought to its ultimate expression at this moment!
Their goal was not victory.
They simply wanted to sacrifice their lives to ignite a tiny spark of hope in this doomed war!
And their actions did indeed have an effect!
boom!
Akimichi Chōza's massive body slammed into the energy shield of a " God-Slaying Level destroyer!
Although the shield, as thin as a cicada's wing, remained intact.
However, the enormous impact still caused the warship, which was hundreds of meters long, to jolt violently in mid-air and briefly lose its balance!
Meanwhile, Inoichi Yamanaka's " Mind Body Disturbance Technique " also successfully hit its target!
The warship's pilot was a young Uchiha man who had just graduated from " Hope Academy " and had little combat experience.
Caught completely off guard, he was instantly controlled by Inoichi Kage Level!
"Aaaaaah!"
The boy let out a scream, his hands uncontrollably shoving the warship's control sticks to the side!
Boom!
The massive warship instantly went out of control and crashed into another warship that was dodging Chōza!
Two war machines, representing the pinnacle of the Divine Kingdom's technological achievements, collided in a sorry state, like two clumsy beetles, before the eyes of billions of people around the world!
Although their sturdy armor was not greatly damaged, this pathetic scene was like two resounding slaps to the face of the Divine Kingdom and all the Uchiha!
"Success!"
Shikaku Nara, who was struggling to maintain his Shadow Imitation Technique on the ground, saw this scene and his eyes lit up with wild joy!
He did it!
They, the Ino-Shika-Cho, used the wisdom and bonds of the old era to shake the divine army of the new era!
However, his joy did not last long.
Because he discovered that just as his shadow was about to touch Uchiha Itachi's feet, it could not advance even an inch further!
It was as if there was an invisible, absolutely insurmountable barrier beneath Itachi's feet!
"This is... Susanoo's Chakra field?"
Shikaku's heart sank to the bottom.
Just then, Uchiha Itachi's cold, emotionless gaze slowly moved down from below and landed on him.
Just one glance!
Shikaku Nara felt as if his soul had been frozen!
That's the look a god has when looking down at ants!
It's over.
Only these two words remained in Shikaku's mind.
But just as Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan was about to unleash a deadly Dōjutsu...
A more majestic, grander voice, filled with absolute Kamui, suddenly descended upon the entire battlefield through the amplification system of the flagship " Kamui ".
"Itachi, stop."
That voice belonged to Uchiha Gen'yō from the Moon Palace!
Just three words, yet they seem to possess a magical power that makes words come true!
Uchiha Itachi's " Great Fire Annihilation " that was about to erupt came to an abrupt halt in an instant!
The terrifying sea of fire in the sky seemed to be paused, eerily frozen in mid-air, before dissipating into countless sparks and vanishing without a trace.
An eerie silence fell over the entire battlefield once again.
Whether it's Akimichi Chōza, who's currently clashing with others, Inoichi Yamanaka, who's using his spiritual magic, or Shikaku Nara, who's already determined to die.
Everyone instinctively stopped what they were doing and looked up at the source of the sound.
They knew that the final judge of this war had arrived.
Moon Palace, Divine Grace Hall.
Uchiha Gen'yō leaned back on the throne, resting his chin on one hand, watching with great interest the three figures on the light screen that appeared incredibly small yet filled with determination.
Beside him, Tsunade's pretty face was already deathly pale, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
The Ino-Shika-Cho Clans were her most loyal and capable subordinates when she was Hokage!
She couldn't imagine what a miserable scene it would be when Gen'yō's wrath descended upon them!
"Heh, Tsunade."
Gen'yō seemed to see through her thoughts, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
Look at the good subordinates you've trained!
"That's truly... commendable courage."
His voice was clearly transmitted to Tsunade's ears through the broadcast, and also to everyone on the battlefield.
The tone, filled with mockery and judgment, sent Tsunade's heart sinking into an ice cave.
On the battlefield, Shikaku Nara and his two companions wore expressions of bitterness and despair.
Gen'yō ignored their expressions, his voice, filled with Kamui, continued to echo between heaven and earth.
" The Ino-Shika-Cho Clans, I remember you."
"When Konoha surrendered, you were among the first families to swear allegiance."
Gen'yō's words startled Shikaku and the other two, who looked puzzled.
Why did he bring this up?
Is this meant to highlight the foolishness of their current "betrayal"?
However, Gen'yō's next words stunned everyone.
He paused, and his playful tone suddenly turned cold and full of accusation!
"So, who gave you the courage to turn your blade against your god again?"
