Chapter 395: Super Gravity vs. Night Guy
"Lady Hokage!"
"And… Lord Jiraiya?!"
The Hyūga clan shinobi watching with the Byakugan were stunned. Seeing Tsunade appear was one thing—but the already-dead Jiraiya? No… it had to be Edo Tensei.
"Jiraiya-sama has been reanimated by the enemy. Everyone, be on alert!"
They quickly warned the rest of the Konoha shinobi. Jiraiya's strength was well-known; if he was under the enemy's control, caution was critical.
"To even break through the interdimensional layer… terrifying."
Even though he was already astonished by Might Guy's willpower, seeing him pull Tsunade and Jiraiya from the dimensional space truly shocked Li Yao.
This meant Guy's Night Guy technique had reached a level capable of tearing through space itself.
"Such terrifying power… there's no option but to go all-out."
Li Yao's expression turned serious. He calmed his mind and began converting all his chakra into Mass Technique chakra—unleashing the full power of his jutsu.
Previously, he thought his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Perfect Sage Mode, and one million tons of imagined mass gave him enough physical strength to deal with Night Guy.
But now, seeing that Guy's willpower could breach the interdimensional layer—it was clear that his attack was comparable to space-time ninjutsu in destructiveness.
Against a space-level attack, holding back would be suicide.
"Earth Style: Mass Technique – Ten Million Tons!"
Buzz!
With ten million tons of imagined mass applied to his body, Li Yao underwent an incredible transformation. His body's imagined density reached a terrifying level, and a formless gravitational force rippled outward.
Up in the sky—
A terrified giant bird tried desperately to fly away from Konoha—but strangely, despite its flapping, it was slowly being pulled backward, as if an invisible rope tied to its leg were dragging it down.
Meow!
In a corner of Konoha, a little cat suddenly felt something pulling it from behind. It leapt forward in fear—only to be flung backward instead.
Thump thump thump… Not just the cat—wooden boards on rooftops began clattering as invisible forces tugged at them.
Clatter!
Pebbles on the ground trembled, then began rolling in a single direction.
Clang!
The ink bindings on Naruto shattered.
But he felt no joy—just dread. He stood up, slightly leaning backward, and like the others, looked toward the source of the gravitational pull.
"What… is that?"
In the distance, in front of the blood-red dragon head, Li Yao's figure looked minuscule.
The black clouds converging above him made him appear tiny.
But no one thought he looked weak.
From the sky, clouds were drawn toward him as though pulled by countless invisible strings.
On the ground, stones and rubble trembled, inching toward him.
Li Yao had become a human black hole, his terrifying gravity dragging everything toward him—air, dirt, stone, everything.
Naruto and the others couldn't understand the phenomenon, but they all felt it:
Something enormous was coming.
Their bodies shivered with instinctual terror. Their hearts sank like lead. It was like standing at the mouth of an erupting volcano. There was only one thing left to do:
Run.
Get away—as far as possible.
It reminded them of the oppressive dread when Pain used Super Shinra Tensei. This time, Tsunade didn't hesitate.
"Run!!!"
"Everyone, run!!!"
Even before reaching Naruto, Tsunade was already shouting, her urgency written all over her face. Her roar snapped the Konoha shinobi out of their daze—they realized they were standing well within the blast radius of what was about to happen.
"No!"
"Move!"
"Everyone, get out of here!"
Awakened by the warning, they retreated as fast as possible, calling out to help others nearby.
"Granny Tsunade!"
Naruto looked helplessly at her as she approached. He didn't move, paralyzed with indecision.
He was supposed to be the Child of Prophecy. He should be stopping the enemy's ultimate move.
But whether it was Guy's final attack, or Li Yao's gravitational catastrophe—these were powers he couldn't stop.
He was overwhelmed. Even with Sage Mode, he couldn't protect the people he loved or the village he swore to defend.
"Move!"
Tsunade had no time to console him. She grabbed his hand and sprinted, with Sakura quickly joining behind.
Normally, she'd offer Naruto encouragement or reassurance…
But after witnessing what she just had, she was paralyzed with fear. This was something not even Naruto could face.
"Run!"
Thanks to the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transmission Jutsu, every Konoha shinobi received the message—Tsunade's order to flee from Li Yao and Guy's position.
Everyone ran—frantically—away from ground zero.
At the same time, Might Guy's terrifying will kept his collapsing body under control—for now—giving the villagers time to escape.
Li Yao didn't interfere. He could feel Guy's will burning brighter, and the more it suppressed his deteriorating body, the more violently it consumed itself.
Even willpower couldn't last forever.
Without a body or soul, Guy's will was like flammable gas in open air—powerful, but fleeting.
"Even willpower can burn…"
Li Yao's eyes sparkled. He soaked in every detail, every change in Guy's energy.
If he could harness the ability to manifest willpower, all his ninjutsu would be enhanced—especially space-time techniques.
But sadly, Guy's will was burning too quickly.
He wouldn't last.
He had to strike now—or never.
"Lee… everyone… live on."
Guy whispered to himself. Faces of his students, the village, and his memories flashed before him.
And then… they all vanished—replaced by the one figure in front of him.
BOOM!
The blood-red dragon head plummeted from the sky like a falling star, roaring toward Li Yao with unstoppable force.
Buzz!
Space around Li Yao warped violently. In this distorted space, he couldn't use Flying Thunder God or other teleportation jutsu.
He had no choice but to meet it head-on.
Fortunately, while the space was distorted, it hadn't immobilized him.
He sank his stance and threw a punch—it looked slow but was blindingly fast, and it collided precisely with Guy's airborne kick.
"Night Guy!"
"Super Gravity!"
Fist met foot—and at that moment, both unleashed their full power.
Their chakra and energy erupted in a single, cataclysmic explosion.
