Adamantine Sealing · Wave Might Deity!
A dazzling, gigantic polearm guandao instantly appeared in Kyusei's hands. Gripping the end of the handle, he twisted his body, and a massive blade arc swept out in an instant!
Kyusei's target was precisely the Ten-Thousand-Mile Earth-Style Wall that he had just blasted open with a breach!
As for the Hidden Stone shinobi caught within the attack range—
Whether they survived this strike would depend entirely on their own abilities!
Shing!!!
The sound of a blade leaving its sheath rang out across the battlefield.
The blade light, wrapped in raging winds, slashed straight toward the enormous wall that stretched for kilometers and was five to six meters thick!
Under the incredulous gazes of countless Hidden Stone shinobi, the Ten-Thousand-Mile Earth-Style Wall—once their pride and invincible defense—was cleaved apart like tofu by a single slash from the Nine-Tails jinchūriki!
The entire wall collapsed instantly under this blow, crumbling into nothing!
As the wall vanished, Orochimaru and a group of Konoha shinobi who had long been lying in wait surged forward immediately!
Although it was still four thousand Hidden Stone shinobi against three thousand from Konoha—
No one believed the Hidden Stone side could still win!
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Nine-Tails jinchūriki personally entering the battlefield brought far more than just a breach of the enemy's defenses.
Even without counting their sheer combat power—
Just Hiruzen Sarutobi's presence alone was enough to double Konoha's fighting spirit!
It was like an ancient emperor personally leading a campaign—
And this emperor had personally crushed the enemy commander the moment he appeared!
Konoha's shinobi surged forward like starving wolves, ferociously pouncing on the Hidden Stone forces!
"H-Hokage, are you trying to escalate the war?!"
Huangtu forced himself to stand despite the searing pain wracking his body, staring at the ice-cold Hiruzen Sarutobi before him.
"Heh, escalate the war?"
Hiruzen looked utterly disdainful of Huangtu's dying words.
"Those words are not for the ones who started this war—the Hidden Stone—to say."
He had no interest in continuing the conversation.
Instead, he spoke calmly:
"Enma, Adamantine Staff."
Without a word, the Monkey King Enma—wearing a Konoha forehead protector—transformed instantly into a massive iron staff.
Seeing that Hiruzen clearly intended to wipe them out completely, Huangtu hardened his resolve and formed seals at the fastest speed of his life.
"Earth Release: Earth Shore Re—gh!"
Huangtu stared in disbelief at the golden spearhead protruding from his chest.
The chakra he had just gathered instantly dissipated.
"Y-you…!"
He turned his head to look at the one who had attacked him from behind.
The Nine-Tails jinchūriki!
In a situation where Konoha already held overwhelming advantage, this man had still shamelessly launched a sneak attack!
Fury overwhelmed Huangtu to the point that he momentarily forgot his pain.
Ignoring the hole through his chest, he swung a desperate punch at Kyusei!
But a golden hand caught his fist steadily.
"Go report to the Three-Tails jinchūriki."
Kyusei violently pulled out the golden spear—
And blood burst forth from Huangtu's chest like a fountain!
Kyusei had no intention of letting Huangtu use Earth Shore Return—a wide-area technique.
In the original timeline's Fourth Shinobi World War, Huangtu had even used this technique to briefly suppress the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Hiruzen Sarutobi paid no attention to Kyusei stealing his kill.
Seeing Huangtu dead, he simply turned and led Konoha's forces in a full assault against the remaining Hidden Stone shinobi.
In Hiruzen's eyes, this entire Hidden Stone unit was now nothing more than livestock awaiting slaughter.
Yet the Hidden Stone shinobi truly lived up to the Will of Stone inherited from the First Tsuchikage.
Even leaderless, they did not retreat—instead, they counterattacked, entangling themselves in brutal combat with Konoha's forces!
Kyusei felt genuine respect for their resolve.
And precisely because they upheld the enemy's Will of Stone, Kyusei decided to personally send them to meet the First Tsuchikage—
So they could listen to his teachings in the Pure Land.
Breaking away from Konoha's formation, Kyusei charged alone into the depths of the enemy ranks!
Hiruzen glanced at the golden streak plunging into the enemy army but said nothing, continuing to lead Konoha's advance.
On this battlefield, there was simply nothing capable of threatening Kyusei.
Unless Ōnoki himself—or Hidden Stone's two jinchūriki—arrived personally,
No one here could survive even a single exchange with him.
Charging alone through the enemy formation, Kyusei looked at the countless Hidden Stone shinobi around him.
Without a word, golden chakra condensed into a massive war hammer and smashed the nearest enemy!
That Hidden Stone shinobi flew like a bowling ball, instantly knocking down several others!
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!!!"
The surrounding Hidden Stone shinobi roared as if ignited, charging toward Kyusei like moths rushing into a golden inferno!
Kyusei smiled.
A smile of absolute confidence.
Hidden Stone shinobi feared death—admirable.
But they were also the initiators of this war.
kaoru was in Konoha.
Nao was in Konoha.
Kakashi Hatake was in Konoha.
Tsunade was in Konoha.
Even that brat Kakashi was still in Konoha…
Position determines perspective.
He punched another charging shinobi, sending him flying skyward before slamming heavily back into the ground!
Again, he blasted away several more enemies.
Suddenly, more than a dozen kunai with explosive tags tied to their handles shot toward him at high speed!
Kyusei's Kagura's Mind's Eye remained active at all times—every movement around him was perfectly clear.
Without even looking, he twisted his body.
The nine golden chains behind him—like tails—lashed out, swatting all the kunai aside and sending them flying back at even greater speed toward the reckless attacker!
But it wasn't over.
As he completed the turn, Kyusei raised one hand toward the Hidden Stone shinobi who had just ambushed him!
A small Tailed Beast Ball formed instantly—and was fired!
Before the attack even reached him, the shinobi had already been blown apart by the explosive tags on his own kunai.
The incoming miniature Tailed Beast Ball became the final death sentence!
The explosion erupted directly on his body—
An overwhelming blast tore through the battlefield!
All enemies within dozens of meters were instantly wiped out!
Even those outside the blast radius were forced to the ground by the shockwave, with many losing their footing and being blown away!
When they finally recovered—
A lone golden figure stood before them.
And surrounding him were the bodies of comrades slain by the power of that miniature Tailed Beast Ball.
