"The Supreme Blade, emerge."
Since obtaining The Supreme Blade, Anya had finally unleashed its full power on the battlefield for the first time.
The Six Blades emerged from their original form and began to break apart. After breaking apart, they transformed into countless smaller blades encircling her body—exactly one thousand two hundred ninety-six in total.
Each blade carried the essence of destruction in Anya's sword techniques, combined with the Sword Manipulation Art's control—killing enemies became far too easy.
As soon as she arrived at the frontlines, the blades fell like fine rain. Each precisely pierced the weaknesses of White Zetsu, killing them instantly. After one round of attacks, a wide swath of land was cleared.
Consumed by intense killing intent, Anya immediately proceeded to the next wave of carnage. Thousands upon thousands of White Zetsu fell victim, collapsing one after another like harvested wheat in a field.
Within a hidden cave, Obito and Kabuto observed the developments on the battlefield. At this point, Obito had switched to a white mask. His previous single eye had become two. The right remained his Sharingan while the left now held the Rinnegan.
"The number of White Zetsu is dropping rapidly. How is this possible? How did the Ninja Coalition Forces manage this?" Obito asked in disbelief.
Kabuto chuckled lightly. "It's that person who's acting. He has been shining on the battlefield since the Second War. When it comes to war, perhaps nobody is more adapted than him."
Obito frowned. "I didn't team up with you just to hear you gush over our enemies."
Kabuto shrugged helplessly. "I'm just telling it like it is."
"Hmph, you should understand my objective," Obito said coldly. "If Kisame's intelligence report is accurate, Naruto has already gained hostile sensing ability, just like Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage. Thus, Naruto must be deployed onto the battlefield to fight against the White Zetsu. But with this person interfering, continuing at this pace, the White Zetsu will soon be completely eliminated."
"Knowing both yourself and your enemy is the key to planning a strategy," Kabuto smiled as he placed down another piece of the board game. "Moreover, he isn't without opposition. During the Third Battle, someone defeated him repeatedly, leaving him unable to respond."
Obito raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "Oh? Someone like that exists?"
"Of course. It won't be long before they meet."
[Sage Art: Torrential Rain and Thunderclap]
Even as the White Zetsu fell in droves, Anya still felt it was moving too slowly. She directly unleashed Hanno Sage Art, causing environmental changes. Dense raindrops disappeared into the clouds above. In only an instant, dark clouds gathered while thunder rumbled. Darkness swallowed the sky until Anya activated Lightning Release—a brilliant bolt tore across the heavens, slashing downward like whip and sword alike.
"Roarrr~~~"
In the midst of flashing lightning, Anya stood clad in arcs of electricity, gripping the Blade of Indifference. In this moment, he looked like a celestial deity. With a mighty roar, [Blade Resonance], thunder, and human potential erupted simultaneously. The [Triple-Layered Sonic Waves] rippled endlessly through the rain, charged with thunderous might, vast and magnificent, interweaving with various sounds from within the clouds. Roaring soundwaves churned winds into chaos and summoned towering waves, sending a tremor deep into the souls of the ninja below. Amidst this rolling storm, the Supreme Blade fell once again.
Blade light pierced the darkness, and lightning engulfed everything. Every White Zetsu sensed moments ago vanished completely.
Inside the barrier, a sensing ninja gazed at the scene in stunned silence, unable to put the overwhelming into words. Muttering under his breath, he said, "He must be a god above all beings—the Blade Deity."
Other ninja hurriedly asked the sensing ninja, "What just happened?"
"Why did the sky suddenly turn dark?"
"And what about that lightning just now? It felt like someone controlled it, splitting the heavens apart."
Taking a deep breath, the sensing ninja replied, "You're not wrong. That lightning truly was manipulated—but it transformed into sword light. With one slash, all the White Zetsus were gone."
"What?! Impossible! There were tens of thousands of White Zetsus!"
"That's right. At least according to my perception, they're completely gone."
Almost in unison, every ninja present exclaimed, "Never thought there'd be someone this powerful."
High above, Anya ignored the praise coming from the ninja side. His figure turned into lightning as he coldly shouted, "Familiar aura—arrived just in time. A bunch of trash—not satisfying enough."
Moving beyond visual limits, Anya's blade shot toward a figure emerging from the dust.
"Chirp... chirp..."
Another sound rang out—lightning crackling and colliding violently.
"My defense is broken already? I barely appeared and my Lightning Armor was pierced."
The Third Raikage spoke with deep emotion, his tone complex—disbelief mixed with excitement.
Anya appeared before him, his gaze wavering slightly. "Back then when you were alive, I sent you off on your final journey—I won without honor. Now that you've been reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation, I'll test exactly how much stronger I've become."
"It's you." Recognizing Anya, the person couldn't help but laugh heartily. "Kid, you're serious this time? You can't keep escaping with that Bringer-of-Darkness Technique again."
Anya coldly stated, "You no longer have the right for that, The Third Raikage."
"You're right. So many years have passed. No one has hurt me in ages. That old sensation of being far away from danger has returned." The Raikage's voice brimmed with excitement. His trembling body sparked radiant arcs of blue lightning as the killing intent hidden deep within erupted like a primordial beast.
The air between them twisted violently. Even without moving, their tangible killing intents formed nearly vacuum-like pressure around the surroundings.
"Good. Finally, a worthy opponent. Indifference, you've been lonely for quite some time too, haven't you?"
The Blade of Indifference seemed to understand Anya's words. Its blade trembled violently, buzzing loudly, before finally transforming into a dragon-like roar.
At first, the dragon's cry was faint and indistinct. Moments later, the Blade of Indifference sounded like a dragon entering the sea, its low growl spreading outward, carrying an extremely illusory and surreal sensation.
Raikage, directly facing it head-on, only felt the blade in Anya's hand growing sharper and sharper. Even without attacking yet, a sharp Blade Aura had already surged forward.
Wind shaped into whirlwinds; Blade Aura frosted the air.
With the Blade Resonance ringing out, Anya struck first. Layers of sonic booms covered every direction around Raikage. The sword blade even changed color—flashes of deep blue, streaks of black light piercing through, streams of fierce white radiating downward—as if setting up an inescapable net of blades. The sounds echoed in layers, wave after wave crashing inward, trapping Raikage in an unbreakable snare.
The piercing blade winds had built up until they erupted like tidal waves smashing through a dam, leaving Raikage completely unable to grasp what was happening. Forced into a purely defensive position, he activated his full Lightning Armor, expanding it far beyond its normal limits. With massive chakra and a physical body unmatched in power, he brought the might of his Lightning Release to its peak.
Raikage kept his eyes locked on Anya's offensive movements without blinking.
"Whoosh..."
Their figures crossed paths and passed each other. All the previously erupting sounds calmed down, leaving only Raikage's sigh:
"Genjutsu, Sword Art, Ninjutsu — perfectly fused into one. Earth-shattering. Brat, does this move have a name?"
"[Forget Sorrow]."
"Hehe, after that single slash, indeed all sorrows vanish. A good name."
After saying these words, Raikage's body could no longer hold together. It dissolved into fragments and then vanished completely, leaving only a Sacrifice lying on the ground.
