"!!"
The moment Kyo's words fell, a sudden change instantly occurred!
Under his palm, purple cursed text instantly spread out, extending infinitely across the sand!
In an instant, red cracks like magma began to appear on the sand!
Then, a giant hand covered in armor violently reached out!
Immediately after, the cursed text cracks on the sand grew larger, and a huge warrior covered from head to toe in red and black armor strikingly climbed up from underground!!
In his right hand, he held a giant katana, as sharp as a crescent moon!
Boom!!!
Just raising his hand, countless storms of Spiritual Pressure followed moving, space itself seemed to tear!
In an instant,
Everyone who witnessed this scene was dumbfounded!
Whether it was Juzo and Itachi in the distance, the Sunagakure crowd on this side, or Rasa and Shukaku beside Kyo, after seeing this giant armored warrior, they all froze solid!
Unbelievable!!
At this moment, this huge armored warrior, holding his long sword askew, stood behind Kyo, like a guardian deity from myth, majestic and unstoppable!
The originally imposing Shukaku, in front of him, was like a not yet fully evolved beast!
In the distance, all the Sunagakure's Shinobi turned pale, their spines chilled.
"Wh-what... what is this?!"
"...A Summoned Beast?"
"How could... how could any Summoned Beast be like this!!!?"
"Damn it... just gazing from a distance, I'm already... trembling uncontrollably, dammit!!"
...
If the Sunagakure's Shinobi in the distance felt this way,
Rasa, who was closest, naturally felt it even more!
At this moment, he stiffly looked up, horrified at the huge armored warrior behind Kyo, his mind almost blank!
Just moments ago, he had even suspected that Kyo might be putting on an act with his Summoning Technique motion.
After all, he hadn't formed a single summoning hand seal and simply placed his hand on the ground.
Some people at least put their hands together as a gesture, but with him, he very simply did nothing at all.
At first glance, it looked very unprofessional.
But,
What Rasa never expected was...
'This damn unprofessional summoning actually f**king summoned a behemoth!?'
'And...'
'What is this eerie feeling all about?!'
'Why is it that just standing before it, I can feel a tremendous oppression on your very soul?!'
Rasa gritted his teeth tightly, trying to force himself to calm down.
...
On the other side,
The moment Itachi and Juzo, lurking in the darkness to observe, saw the armored warrior appear,
They were also completely dumbfounded.
Both their expressions froze on their faces, pupils constricted, mouths slightly agape.
Although tonight, they had been constantly having their visual impact renewed by Kyo's various actions,
But until they saw Kokujo Tengen Myo'o, they finally couldn't help but be utterly horrified inside.
'An unheard-of, seal-less Summoning Technique!'
'Is this thing... also one of his golden eye abilities???'
'This is just ridiculous, right?!'
At this moment, they even wanted to rush up and grab Kyo by the collar to ask, "Just how many damn abilities does your True Eye of the King have!"
Moreover, what shocked them even more was,
This armored warrior summoned by Kyo not only looked powerful but also seemed to carry a strong sense of oppression on the soul.
Just gazing at it could bring one face to face with a near-death fear...
Itachi slightly gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming.
At this moment,
He suddenly recalled a legend.
It was said that when the Dojutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan was developed to its utmost, one could unlock a powerful force called "Susano'o", like divine power, destroying everything in sight.
And, legend also described,
Susano'o's complete form would manifest as a huge Chakra Armored Warrior, enveloping the user.
Thinking carefully,
That form seemed to have many similarities with this Kokujo Tengen Myo'o that Kyo had summoned...
'Could it be that his True Eye of the King is a variant of the Sharingan?'
Itachi's gaze slightly lowered.
The deeper he thought about it, the more he felt it's possible.
...
At this moment,
On this side, in the middle of the battlefield.
Kyo looked at Shukaku and Rasa ahead and said with a smile:
"Well then―"
"Which of you two goes first?"
"Or... do you want to come together?"
"..."
As the words fell,
Rasa immediately gritted his teeth,
However, before he could act,
Suddenly, Shukaku beside him violently raised its huge claw and struck towards Kokujo Tengen Myo'o!
"Brat, don't be too arrogant!! Watch me smash your armor to pieces!!"
Boom!!
Shukaku swung its sharp claw, at extreme speed, instantly striking towards the armored warrior's neck!
But the moment it was about to make contact, suddenly,
Kokujo Tengen Myo'o strikingly raised the huge katana in his hand and swiftly swung it!
Shing!!
The blade quickly traced an arc in the air, reflecting the moonlight, directly and accurately severing Shukaku's claw!
Pfft!!!!
The huge claw was instantly cut off without any hindrance, falling and immediately turning into a pile of loose sand.
Shukaku's pupils suddenly constricted, and it froze.
'?!'
'How could...?'
'When did this guy... swing his sword?!'
'A blade that huge... could actually deliver such high-speed slashes?!'
'And my defense, in front of his blade... was completely useless!'
'Troublesome!'
'Too troublesome!'
With no time to think further, Shukaku instantly leaped back, directly putting distance between itself and Kokujo Tengen Myo'o, its gaze grave, deciding to use a ranged attack!
It instantly opened its mouth, violently accumulated a surge of Chakra, then roared:
"Wind Release: Sand Scatter Shot!!"
Boom!!!
As the words fell, countless grains of sand instantly condensed into individual sand bullets, like a machine gun, directly violently bombarding the armored warrior!
Thud thud thud thud!!!!
Continuous, rapid impacts sounded quickly!
However―
It had absolutely no effect on it, not even scratching the armor!!
"!?"
Shukaku's heart was slightly startled, its huge face's expression clearly becoming much heavier. After a moment, it muttered to itself:
"Tsk..."
"It seems ordinary techniques really won't work against this ironclad guy..."
"Well then... try this!"
As the words fell,
Shukaku opened its mouth once again.
However, this time, no Wind Release Chakra or sandstorm appeared. Instead, two streams of very eerie black and white Chakra emerged!
The next moment, all the Chakra rapidly merged and condensed, actually transforming into a purple-black energy ball, the surrounding space beginning to tremble!
Seeing this scene, Rasa beside him slightly changed expression!
'Bijudama!?'
'Is this guy... going to use its ultimate technique?!'
Just as he was thinking, suddenly―
Boom!!!
The condensed Bijudama in Shukaku's mouth instantly spewed directly towards Kokujo Tengen Myo'o's body!
Along the way, the force it brought almost tore space apart!
Its power shook the world!
Even Rasa watching from the side couldn't help but constrict his pupils.
However,
Kyo just remained expressionless and calmly said:
"Cut it, Myo'o."
As the words fell, a low rumble came from the armored warrior's mouth.
"As you command."
The next moment, it unhesitatingly raised the huge blade in its hand and swung it in one stroke towards the oncoming Bijudama!
No technique, just a single stroke infused with Spiritual Pressure.
However, the moment the blade touched the Bijudama, a mind-shaking scene appeared!
Boom!!!!
That originally spherical purple Bijudama, the moment it touched the huge blade, was like tofu, instantly sliced into left and right halves!!
Whoosh!!!
The two severed halves of the Bijudama, propelled by the blade's swing, instantly flew past both sides of the armored warrior.
Then, they viciously crashed into the distant earth, emitting two explosion lights like nuclear blasts!!
Boom!!!!
Two sky-shaking explosions made the entire desert seem to tremble!
At this moment,
Everyone was stunned.
'The ultimate technique of the great One-Tail, the Bijudama, was... actually cut apart by a sword?!?!'
'Is this... something a Summonied Beast should be able to do??!'
Not to mention the onlookers,
At this moment, even Shukaku, who had fired the Bijudama, was completely dumbfounded.
Its mentality directly collapsed.
As a One-Tail, its Chakra Reserve were naturally not large.
Therefore, things like Bijudama, it didn't casually release, after all, they consumed too much Chakra.
But now... what's going on?!
One Bijudama shot out, and it didn't even touch the enemy's armor?!
How the hell is it supposed to fight this!!
