REVIEWS AND POWERSTONES PLSSS!!!!!Chapter 80: Konoha's End
"HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!"
Watching the massive meteor plummeting rapidly from above, Yasushi laughed so hard his tongue stuck out.
"Itachi, don't you love the village?"
"Now's the moment to test you!"
"You better not dodge!"
"If you dodge, all those elderly, weak, women and children in the underground shelters won't survive!"
"Come on, quickly activate your Susanoo, get into position down there, and wait to catch the ball!"
"I won't be keeping you company— I'll take my leave now!"
After speaking, Yasushi laughed heartily and strode away at leisure.
Those Uchiha clansmen who'd been buried beneath the ruins had all regenerated their Reanimation bodies by now. After casting vicious glares at Itachi and Fugaku, they followed Yasushi's departure.
Facing such a village-destroying crisis, Itachi and Fugaku's hearts turned to ash. How could they have any thought of intercepting him?
Yasushi hummed a little tune, skipping and hopping out of Konoha. Along the way, he occasionally spotted groups of lucky Konoha shinobi who hadn't died yet, desperately fleeing outward.
These people were completely panicked, running around like headless flies. While escaping for their lives, they began desperately seeking solutions, even starting to blame each other randomly.
"Where's Lord Hokage? Isn't he the strongest Hokage in history? Quickly use some powerful jutsu to knock that thing down!"
"Where are the Sannin? Where are Lady Tsunade and Lord Jiraiya? Why haven't we seen them fighting?"
"Aren't we the strongest shinobi village? How did we end up in such dire straits?"
"Who provoked such powerful enemies?"
"Who can stop it?"
"Who will save us?"
Witnessing the various faces of Konoha's people before their destruction, Yasushi's heart swelled with satisfaction. But he absolutely refused to let them go, simply pointing his finger at those people.
"Some of you, hold these people back!"
"As Konoha shinobi, they must naturally share the village's fate— how can they be deserters?"
"We Uchiha aren't fleeing, so how can they flee?"
"An Uchiha isn't afraid to die!" Uchiha Yashiro shrieked, leading several clansmen to charge over. Using every technique at their disposal, they blocked these people completely.
Yasushi walked while dividing his forces, distributing all his clansmen until he alone left Konoha.
Looking back, he saw the giant meteor had reached above the village. Below it stood only a solitary brown Susanoo, like a mantis raising its arms.
"Tsk, what a shame. If Itachi dies here like this, I still have so many ways to play with him that I haven't used!"
Perhaps sensing Yasushi's regret, a roar sounded. A fiery red fox suddenly appeared beside the Susanoo, its eyes filled with Mangekyo patterns.
"Holy shit! Itachi released the Nine-Tails!"
Yasushi's heart jumped. He suddenly remembered that he'd been having too much fun and forgotten the main objective of capturing the Nine-Tails.
But this thought merely passed through his mind before Yasushi reconciled with himself.
"Forget it, if I forgot, I forgot!"
"Anyway, Konoha is finished—the objective's achieved!"
"What does the Nine-Tails or not have to do with me?"
Seeing the massive meteor in the sky drawing closer, Yasushi quickly turned and ran, afraid of being splattered with blood if he moved too slowly.
After the Nine-Tails appeared, it immediately raised its head and began condensing a Tailed Beast Ball.
The purple-black chakra sphere rapidly condensed, shooting toward the massive meteor above.
The Tailed Beast Ball rose like a meteor flying in reverse, trailing a long energy wake, shooting straight toward the sky-blocking giant meteor.
The moment two destructive forces collided in midair, heaven and earth seemed to fall silent.
Immediately after, blinding white light erupted, illuminating the entire night sky like daylight.
The explosion's shockwave expanded spherically, completely shredding clouds within several thousand meters. The already riddled ground suffered another devastation, once again scraped down three feet.
The Tailed Beast Ball's energy madly eroded the meteor's bottom. Purple-black chakra acted like countless blades, peeling away the hard rock layers one by one.
Amid teeth-grinding shattering sounds, the meteor's bottom was forcibly blasted into a giant crater. Countless fragments melted into crimson magma in the high temperature, raining down like droplets.
When the blinding light faded, people discovered with horror that the massive meteor remained intact overhead!
Though its bottom was blasted beyond recognition, the overall structure remained complete.
The explosion's blast made the descending meteor pause slightly—its speed did slow somewhat.
But only somewhat!
Fragments began peeling from the meteor's surface, crashing to earth like fire rain. Each piece that landed triggered small explosions, plunging Konoha—already nearly ruins—into a sea of flames.
And that enormous meteor continued pressing inexorably toward the earth!
"ROAR..."
The Nine-Tails roared unwillingly, frantically condensing a second Tailed Beast Ball under Itachi's control. But everyone knew clearly—there was no time!
The meteor, trailing its burning wake, continued falling toward the earth.
Its massive shadow once again shrouded Konoha. The oppressive presence of death made everyone unable to breathe.
"Ahhh..."
Itachi screamed madly, raising the Susanoo's arms high. Together with the Nine-Tails on the left and right, they used both bodies to meet the massive meteor head-on.
Whether Nine-Tails or Susanoo, both were colossal. But before the giant meteor brought by Chibaku Tensei, they remained insignificant—at least several times smaller.
The instant the meteor's bottom contacted the Susanoo's palms, a visible shockwave exploded from the contact point. The chakra armor groaned under overwhelming pressure, chakra fragments gradually breaking away from the Susanoo's body piece by piece, dissolving into dust midair.
"GAAHHH...!"
Itachi roared desperately, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, the Mangekyo in his Sharingan spinning frantically.
Fugaku also poured his ocular power into Itachi's eyes without regard for cost, seeking only to support him for half a second more.
The Susanoo's feet sank deeply into the ground. The rocky surface continuously collapsed like quicksand.
The so-called absolute defense chakra armor already showed spiderweb-like cracks. Brown energy fragments scattered everywhere like snowflakes.
The Nine-Tails' situation was equally tragic.
It tilted its head, teeth bared as its scar-covered back braced against the meteor. Nine tails desperately supported the ground, plowing nine deep furrows through the earth.
At this life-or-death moment, it finally broke free of the Mangekyo Sharingan's control. But this didn't improve its situation—that massive meteor still pressed firmly upon it.
"Damn Uchiha!"
The Nine-Tails howled furiously, but survival instinct forced it to continue struggling, passively bearing Chibaku Tensei's might.
The giant beast's spine made terrible warping sounds. Its hind legs collapsed with a THUD, smashing two deep craters in the ground.
Its nine tails thrashed madly, forcefully whipping at the meteor on its body. But it could only watch as the meteor crushed its frame inch by inch.
Accompanied by crisp shattering sounds, the Susanoo's arms collapsed first, followed by its armor, then muscles, and finally bones.
When the Susanoo completely dissolved into light particles and vanished, Itachi collapsed to his knees, completely powerless—unable even to stand.
"No..."
The Nine-Tails released an unwilling roar. Immediately after, its head was completely crushed by ten thousand tons of stone, transforming into chakra powder midair and dissipating in the atmosphere, leaving only Naruto Uzumaki's broken body.
The meteor continued sinking, grinding Naruto and Itachi's bodies into pulp, mixing them with Susanoo fragments and burying them underground together.
Finally, accompanied by deafening roaring, Chibaku Tensei completed its slaughter, leaving only a crater a thousand meters in diameter with streams of blood slowly seeping from the bottom of the pit.
