Stone pillars jutted from the desolate desert.
A figure in red armor danced through the crowd—as they moved and twisted, shadows flew skyward while screams echoed across the battlefield.
Scorching flames gathered and, with the release of Chakra, transformed into an endless sea of fire descending upon the crowd.
The well-trained Ninja responded instantly.
⤫ Suiton: Suijinheki ⥤ Water Release: Water Formation Wall! ⤬
Dozens of Ninja united to summon surging waves in the desert, their overwhelming force holding back the sea of fire.
The two forces collided and canceled each other out, leaving steam to block the sky and blind the Ninja.
The Ninja rejoiced at successfully blocking the attack, believing that even the legendary Madara Uchiha had limits.
But when the blue giant Susanoo appeared, the battle turned one-sided once more. Not even the combined might of the Kazekage and Tsuchikage could penetrate it.
Only when Naruto Uzumaki completed his Wind Release: Rasenshuriken did Gaara spot his chance.
Using Ōnoki's Light-Weight Rock Technique, Gaara manipulated the sand to strike from below, wrenching Madara from the Susanoo. The Rasenshuriken howled toward its target, seeking to land the decisive blow.
But those blood-red eyes transformed—powerful ocular energy burst forth, ripples spreading from the pupils. Madara lifted his right hand, unleashing an intense gravitational force that obliterated the promising Rasenshuriken.
As the dust settled and that purple pupil came into view, cold sweat beaded on Naruto's forehead.
The next moment, an even mightier Susanoo rose from the ground, deity-like with its two faces and four arms.
Madara formed hand signs, and the Susanoo's movements synchronized with his. In an instant, violent chakra exploded from its body, and the sky darkened.
Everyone looked up, frozen in place.
An almost tangible chill swept through the crowd as incomprehensible fear spread, despair grew wild, and reason abandoned them.
"What is... this?"
"The difference in power isn't even comparable."
"Is this... the power of a god?"
Ōnoki's pupils trembled and his teeth clenched as he stared at the enormous meteorite looming over the battlefield.
But just as he prepared to fly toward it, black fissures appeared around the meteorite. Space itself shattered with crackling sounds in ways beyond comprehension.
From the deep darkness, two white figures emerged, meeting the meteorite head-on.
"Sōsuke, seems like we came at a bad time." Akira scratched his head, eyeing the approaching meteorite with mild concern.
"This world seems to be at war." Aizen surveyed the bewildered faces below, his expression unchanged.
Scanning the battlefield's energy signatures, only the one concealed within the blue giant warranted attention. The rest were insignificant.
Akira flexed his arms and threw a simple straight punch at the Tengai Shinsei.
The meteorite's descent halted instantly. Countless fissures spread across its surface, accompanied by bursts of brilliant light.
A magnificent firework display bloomed in the sky!
Madara's eyes widened, his composed face showing surprise for the first time.
Under countless watching eyes, Akira looked down and grinned, his voice carrying across the battlefield:
"Would you like to dance too?"
