Dragon Breath Is About Equal To Tailed Beast Bomb!

In the blink of an eye, the Monkey King transformed into a golden cudgel and flew into Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands.

"Ruyi Bang Blast!" Sarutobi Hiruzen roared, swinging the wish stick with all his might. The force created a powerful gust of wind that swept through the area.

The pirates with ordinary strength were immediately swept up by the gust and sent flying through the air.

"Orochimaru, today we settle the score—master and apprentice!" Sarutobi Hiruzen declared, pointing the wish stick at his former student.

Orochimaru, unfazed, folded his arms across his chest and smirked. "Teacher, you don't have to lift a finger today. Allow me to introduce you to my ally..."

With a dramatic gesture, Orochimaru pointed to the towering figure beside him and declared, "This is Kaido of the Beasts, the strongest creature in the world!"

"The strongest?" Sarutobi Hiruzen scoffed, clearly not impressed. "I find that hard to believe."

Orochimaru smiled coldly. "You will believe it soon enough."

Turning to Kaido, Orochimaru said with respect, "Please, deal with him."

Kaido grinned, his voice booming. "Even your teacher? Haha, I like you!"

With a wild laugh, Kaido charged at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his massive mace raised high.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly retaliated. "Huo 917 Shield, Hao Huo Yan Technique!" He unleashed a fiery dragon from his mouth, aimed directly at Kaido.

Kaido's eyes gleamed with amusement. "Still breathing fire?" He swung his mace with a flourish, dispersing the flames with ease.

Without missing a beat, Kaido's body transformed into a massive dragon, soaring into the sky.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened in disbelief. "A dragon?!"

This was beyond anything he could comprehend. Dragons were mythical creatures, only ever seen in legends, and never summoned in the world of ninjas.

Orochimaru, equally stunned, couldn't hide his shock. "What is this?" Sarutobi Hiruzen demanded, his voice filled with confusion.

Orochimaru, ever composed, shrugged. "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen him do this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen could hardly believe what was happening. He had thought he was prepared, but this new threat was unlike anything he had ever encountered.

Kaido opened his mouth wide, unleashing a blast of dragon's breath toward Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The powerful breath of flame struck like a devastating force. Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed in an instant. "Damn it, what is this?" he muttered.

Quickly, Sarutobi Hiruzen formed hand seals, summoning a defensive technique. "Earth Style: Dirt Flow Wall!" A thick wall of earth rose from the ground, reinforced with his chakra.

Boom!

The earth wall crumbled under the immense power of Kaido's dragon breath, which continued to surge forward without losing momentum.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened in shock. "Impossible!"

Orochimaru watched, wide-eyed. "This power… It's even stronger than a Tailed Beast Bomb!" he marveled, unable to hide his excitement. "I truly found a treasure."

Faced with the overwhelming onslaught, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind raced. He quickly slammed the Ruyi stick into the ground and formed a new set of seals. "Diamond Wall!" The Ruyi stick transformed into a cage-like barrier around him, its indestructible material providing the only defense.

Kaido's dragon breath crashed into the Diamond Wall, sending shockwaves through the air. The explosion was deafening, and the earth beneath trembled. The intense heat and force sent buildings toppling, and the flames spread rapidly.

Orochimaru, quick to react, pulled his forces back to a safe distance, watching as the village was engulfed in flames. He sighed in relief, knowing that had he stayed too close, he would have been caught in the blast.

"What kind of power is this?" Orochimaru muttered, astonished. Even Tailed Beast Bombs weren't this devastating.

In the aftermath, Konoha Village was left in ruins. The flames gradually faded, but the damage was done. The village, once bustling with life, was now a sea of destruction, with survivors scrambling to safety.

The remaining clans in Konoha rallied their strongest fighters to protect their people, evacuating the younger generation to safety, ensuring that Konoha's bloodline would live on.

As the smoke cleared, Sarutobi Hiruzen emerged from the rubble, unyielding in the face of such a calamity.

Without hesitation, he issued orders. "Anbu, engage the enemy! Chūnin and Jōnin, protect the civilians and lead the evacuation!"

Kaido, still hovering in the sky, prepared for his next strike, his enormous form casting a shadow over the devastated village.
