"Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!"
As the Fourth Raikage launched his attack, Victor didn't dodge. He simply raised his hand, extending a single index finger.
A sneer twisted across the Raikage's face.
You actually think you can block the Liger Bomb with one finger? The arrogance was laughable.
But the next moment shattered his confidence, along with the watching Cloud ninja's understanding of reality.
CRACK!
That slender finger collided with the Fourth Raikage's thick, muscular arm.
It looked like an egg striking a boulder, yet Victor didn't budge an inch. His finger didn't even bend under the tremendous force.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Raikage's arm twisted grotesquely, bones shattering into fragments.
"Lightning Release: Guillotine Drop!"
Ignoring the pain radiating through his ruined arm, the Raikage felt his blood run cold. He launched another desperate strike at Victor.
"Too slow."
Victor raised his leg and delivered a whip-like kick that caught the Raikage mid-attack.
The next second, the Fourth Raikage flew backward even faster than he'd charged forward, his body trailing light as he crashed into the Raikage Building.
BOOM, !
Dust exploded outward. The ground shook.
"Lord Raikage!"
Every Cloud ninja present stared in horror at the scene.
Mabui recovered first, using the Body Flicker Technique to reach the crash site instantly.
"Lord Raikage! Are you okay?"
The Fourth Raikage pushed aside the rubble pinning him down and climbed from the crater, coughing. "I can't die yet."
Then he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.
Every Cloud ninja turned their eyes skyward to Victor, hovering above them like a god of destruction.
He'd severely injured their Raikage with a single casual exchange. What kind of monstrous power was this?
The Fourth Raikage looked up at Victor, his voice grave. "Who are you? The Hidden Cloud Village has never offended you. Why attack us so suddenly?"
So typical. The moment he realized his opponent's strength, he abandoned his aggressive posture entirely. This was the Hidden Cloud Village's finest tradition, bullying the weak while cowering before the strong.
Victor's lips curled into a cold smile. "The Hidden Cloud Village hasn't offended me, and frankly, you're not worthy of offending me. I simply don't like your village."
"Today, I'll erase the Hidden Cloud Village from history completely."
His voice, amplified by spiritual power, echoed throughout the entire village.
The Hidden Cloud erupted in chaos.
Everyone looked up, glaring at Victor as if they wanted to tear him apart with their bare hands.
The Fourth Raikage's expression darkened. "You're too arrogant! You actually want to destroy the Hidden Cloud Village?"
"I admit you're powerful, but the Hidden Cloud Village is no pushover!"
As he spoke, lightning chakra exploded from his body once more, crackling with renewed intensity.
His words ignited the fighting spirit of every Cloud ninja below.
"Kill this arrogant bastard!"
"That's right! Show him the power of the Hidden Cloud!"
"Go, Lord Raikage!"
"Long live the Raikage!"
"Annoying."
Victor's eyes narrowed. "Then let me show you whether I have the ability to back up my words."
He opened his arms wide and began his incantation.
"A bag of rice must be carried up many floors..." (Feel the pain)
"A bag of rice must endure the second floor..." (Think about the pain)
"One bag of rice is given too much..." (Accept the pain)
"I've washed one bag of rice..." (Understand the pain)
"I've washed so much mud from one bag of rice..." (Those who don't know pain)
"And that pile of black tiles..." (Cannot understand true peace)
"Every grain contains mud..." (From now on)
"Who gave you a bag of rice..." (Let the world feel pain)
"Shinra Ten, no, wait... Taixu Sword God!"
[Uzumaki Nagato: Have you paid the copyright fee for using my lines?]
The once-noisy Hidden Cloud Village fell completely silent.
Everyone could sense something massive forming beyond the sea of clouds above.
They stared at the sky, holding their breath.
Suddenly, an enormous vortex formed in the previously calm cloud layer.
Then, from that vortex, a colossal golden blade slowly descended, a sword so massive it eclipsed the sky itself!
Even just the visible tip stretched twenty to thirty kilometers long!
"What... what is that thing?"
"Can a human being summon something like that?"
"It's a miracle! This has to be a miracle!"
"We're going to die! We're really going to die!"
"No! I don't want to die!"
"What are you standing around for? Run!"
The Cloud ninja who'd been so arrogant moments ago collapsed in terror.
But before anyone could flee, an overwhelming pressure descended upon the entire Hidden Cloud Village.
Under that crushing force, everyone fell to their knees, unable to move.
Even the Fourth Raikage found himself pressed flat against the ground, fear etched across his face!
Watching the golden blade descend inexorably closer, the Fourth Raikage finally felt true despair.
This man wasn't human. He was a god.
"Please stop! We'll give you whatever you want! Just spare the Hidden Cloud Village!"
The Fourth Raikage surrendered completely in that moment.
"I only want one thing, the destruction of the Hidden Cloud Village."
Victor's voice fell from the heavens, suffocatingly cold.
Hearing this, fury flashed across the Fourth Raikage's face once more. "Why? Why do you insist on destroying the Hidden Cloud Village? What gives you the right?"
"Why?"
Victor's laugh was devoid of warmth. "Because you're insects."
"What does your destruction have to do with me?"
As his final words echoed, the massive golden sword crashed down into the Hidden Cloud Village.
In an instant, the earth trembled and the sky shattered!
The explosion engulfed an area spanning dozens of kilometers, with shockwaves stretching for hundreds more!
When the flames finally died down, the Hidden Cloud Village had vanished.
Only a crater hundreds of kilometers in diameter remained where it once stood.
From this day forward, the Hidden Cloud Village, one of the five great shinobi villages, became nothing more than history.
"Hm?"
Just as Victor prepared to leave, he sensed a faint presence.
His figure flickered, and he appeared dozens of kilometers away in an instant.
At the same time, deep underground, Black Zetsu's expression changed drastically when Victor materialized above him.
"Damn it, I've been discovered!"
Without hesitation, he dove deeper into the earth.
"Hmph, still trying to run? You think you can escape?"
Victor directly transformed his spiritual power into a hook and snared Black Zetsu tightly.
Then, with a sharp pull, he yanked Black Zetsu from his underground hiding place.
Seeing the dark, amorphous mass, Victor's eyes narrowed in understanding. "So it's you, Black Zetsu of the Otsutsuki. Does your presence mean you're the one who orchestrated the recent chaos in the Hidden Cloud Village?"
Hearing Victor speak his true name, Black Zetsu's eyes widened in disbelief. "How do you know who I am?"
Victor's snort was contemptuous. "In my eyes, the entire shinobi world has no secrets, including your thousand-year plan."
"But you can die now. The new era of the shinobi world has no ship that can carry an old relic like you."
As he finished speaking, the spiritual hook transformed into a sphere of blue flame, instantly incinerating Black Zetsu to ash.
Black Zetsu didn't even have time to scream before he vanished completely from this world.
