"Now, let me show you..."

"The true power of a god!"

With those words, Susanoo's fourth form began to shift once more! Its colossal body surged upward, instantly towering over 100 meters. As it ascended, thick, impenetrable armor wrapped around its form, exuding an aura so oppressive that the entire battlefield trembled beneath its presence.

"And this!"

Kaito grinned, pouring immortal chakra into Susanoo, causing it to expand yet again! Then came the Ten-Tails' chakra—a monstrous force that surged through him like a tidal wave. This time, he wasn't holding back. He would unleash his full firepower, showing the ninja world just how insignificant they truly were.

"For the next year, you will live in fear!"

With the combined enhancements, Susanoo's final form swelled to an astonishing 300 meters, dwarfing everything in sight.

Meanwhile, Onoki and the others hovered high above, controlling an enormous boulder with their combined power. The massive rock continued to ascend, shrinking into the sky until it appeared no larger than a fist. Then, with a collective roar, they poured all their remaining chakra into it:

"Super-Weighted Rock Technique!"

Instantly, the colossal boulder plummeted downward! The sheer force of its descent split the air with an ear-splitting roar that resonated across several nations. Even in the Land of Fire, shinobi looked skyward, their eyes widening in horror at the cataclysmic sight.

The world held its breath.

And then—

BOOM!

The impact was apocalyptic. The moment the boulder struck, a shockwave of destruction erupted, shaking the entire ninja world. Tremors rippled outward, toppling forests, sending tidal waves surging across rivers, and collapsing structures miles away.

Even Konoha wasn't spared.

"What just happened?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen leaped from his seat, heart pounding. The entire Hokage Tower quivered beneath the aftershocks. If a force of this magnitude struck Konoha directly, the village would be wiped off the map.

His hands trembled.

"Investigate immediately!"

An Anbu operative materialized and vanished in an instant. Minutes later, he reappeared, handing Hiruzen a scroll.

"This was sent by Danzo-sama using the Reverse Summoning Technique."

Danzo, stationed at Taki no Kuni near the Iwa border, had witnessed the catastrophe firsthand. Without hesitation, he had relayed his findings.

Hiruzen unrolled the parchment, his expression darkening with each word.

"Iwagakure… they've developed a technique of this scale?!"

Danzo's report described an unbelievable sight—a colossal boulder rising inexplicably at the Iwa border, so massive it could be seen from Takigakure. Then, in a single moment, it had plummeted, shaking the land with a force beyond comprehension.

Hiruzen's breath hitched.

"Onoki… unleashing something like this at this stage…"

"Is he trying to intimidate Konoha?"

He slumped into his chair, exhaustion washing over him. No army, no strategy could counter power of this level. Before it, even Konoha was nothing more than an anthill.

His mind raced.

"No… this doesn't make sense."

He sat upright.

"A technique of this scale would devastate the Land of Earth as well. Onoki wouldn't risk such destruction just to prove a point."

His hands clenched into fists. There could only be one explanation.

They weren't displaying their power.

They were fighting something.

A chill ran down his spine. What kind of enemy could force Iwagakure to resort to this?

One name surfaced in his mind.

"Kaito… no, that's impossible!"

Could a single person grow this strong in just over a year? His mind screamed in denial, but deep down, a dreadful realization took root.

Across the battlefield, Iwa's shinobi clung to a floating platform of rock and earth, exhausted but triumphant. Their technique would end this battle.

A weary Iwa-nin wiped sweat from his brow. "There's no way he survives this."

Another scoffed, though his voice trembled. "Yeah! Not even Kaito can withstand something like that."

Yet Onoki's expression remained grim.

He knew better.

Kaito wasn't reckless.

Which meant… he thought he could survive this.

"What kind of monster is he?!"

Below, Kaito stared up at the descending boulder.

A golden glow engulfed Susanoo's blade, absorbing an immeasurable amount of chakra—Senjutsu, Ten-Tails' chakra, and his own monstrous reserves converging into a single point.

A strike beyond all limits.

As the boulder came crashing down—

Susanoo's sword slashed.

A sound like thunder from the heavens erupted, shaking the very sky.

Iwa's forces watched in horror as cracks raced across the massive rock.

Then, in an instant—

it disintegrated.

No fragments. No debris. Not even dust.

The rock had simply ceased to exist.

Silence fell.

In the distance, Kurotsuchi gasped, barely able to process the impossible.

"It… it was like Susanoo just touched it, and then… it vanished!"

Where the boulder had once been, an enormous crater stretched for miles—a testament to Kaito's absolute dominance.

Onoki and his men collapsed, drained of all chakra.

Kaito exhaled slowly, his golden gaze sweeping across the battlefield.

"Heh… game over."

Step by step, Susanoo advanced.

Onoki struggled to rise, his body refusing to obey.

Kaito barely spared him a glance. He had no interest in wiping out Iwa—not yet.

Instead, Susanoo's colossal hand reached down, effortlessly seizing the unconscious Roshi and Han.

"Keeping them here is pointless. I'll be taking the Four-Tails completely."

He smirked.

"As for the Five-Tails… I'll leave that to Konoha."

Suddenly, his eyes flickered.

Five kilometers away—an army of nearly a thousand Konoha shinobi crept toward the battlefield.

His lips curled into a smirk.

"I didn't do all this just for you to reap the rewards."

With a casual flick of his wrist, Susanoo swung its sword.

In an instant—

The entire Konoha force was annihilated.

As the dust settled, only one message lingered in the air:

"Attack Konoha properly. Consider it repayment for my mercy."

And with that—

Kaito vanished, leaving behind only devastation.
