The battlefield had fallen into chaos as night fell, the sky gloomy and lifeless. The battle had reached its peak intensity, and among all combatants, Tobirama Senju stood out the most. His Immortal Body combined with Chain-Reinforcing Explosive Tags made him a moving disaster—wherever he went, explosions followed. No enemy could withstand him even for a moment; the more enemies he faced, the more devastating his destruction became.
Madara, watching the battlefield through the Water Shadow's eyes, burned with killing intent. If there was one person he most wanted to kill in this life, it was undoubtedly the man before him. Yet during his lifetime, Tobirama had never given him the chance. Never did he imagine that, on the brink of death, he would face his greatest enemy one final time.
The Water Shadow shouted, "Sealing team, move in and trap him! Prepare yourselves—this one is a reincarnated corpse created through the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Seal his soul, and he becomes nothing but trash!"
As the creator of the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu, Tobirama clearly understood its weaknesses. Through his perception, he quickly pieced together the enemy's plan. There was a mastermind at work—how quickly they had uncovered the flaw in this technique.
Right now, he only possessed the chakra reserves of a Jonin (elite ninja rank), far too limited to perform many advanced kinjutsu. If trapped, he would surely be sealed. No—he needed to retreat.
Just as Tobirama made his decision, a golden giant claw erupted from beneath the earth, completely enveloping half of his already-exploded body.
This was… Magnet Release?
Not only that—the claw was infused with Gold Dust. So heavy! He couldn't move at all—disaster was coming.
Rasa, one of the commanders, had clearly noticed Tobirama's conspicuous presence. His Gold Dust had already infiltrated deep underground.
"Second Hokage (Fire Shadow, the leader of Konoha) of Konoha?" Rasa said with arms crossed. "I never expected them to summon even you just to win. Spirits like you should return to your own world sooner rather than later. This ends now." Chakra surged under his control as thick waves of Gold Dust surged forward to completely bind him. At the same time, sealing tags covering the Gold Dust began to take effect.
"Ruiga."
A sword's hum rang out. Hidden until now, Anya finally moved. She had long studied the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release. She had even imagined ways to counter it—pure metal would be neutralized, but metal infused with lightning chakra wouldn't.
Fully prepared, [combined Sword Art: Draw Technique] infused with [Lightning Blade Art], she unleashed her attack. Activating [Blade of Unconscious Intent], she launched wide-scale lightning attacks in all directions. Anya stood amidst the storm of lightning like a thunder god descending from heaven. Heavy clouds churned violently across the sky, generating powerful winds and thunderous roars. Blinding lightning poured down, and within it, a single lightning-infused blade carried an aura of annihilation straight toward Rasa.
"It's you." Shock and fury filled Rasa's expression as a shadow of death swept over his heart. This was the very same moment that had nearly killed him before—right here, under the same kind of blade. Every memory of that assassination still gave him chills. And this time, the blade was even sharper.
Rasa dared not block directly. Instantly, Magnet Release Gold Dust formed dozens of thick, sturdy shields before him.
The blade cut through layer after layer of Gold Dust shields before finally dissipating just before reaching Rasa's body.
Yet Tobirama, who had been trapped, had already vanished.
After that single strike, Anya disappeared as well.
Beads of cold sweat rolled down Rasa's forehead. His body shivered involuntarily, and even the air seemed to burn.
What an incredible Single Blade Strike.
I never expected I'd be this nervous. It feels like the surrounding temperature has risen.
No, the temperature actually increased. Is it Fire Release? Furrowing his brows, Rasa began searching for the source.
A surge of heat rose intensely, causing a suffocating feeling.
It's not Fire Release. Fire Release doesn't carry such immense power. Even without approaching, Rasa already felt a fear deeper than anything from that Single Blade Strike.
At this moment, dark clouds in the sky flickered with lightning. Suddenly, a gale blew, causing all the clouds to churn like seawater, resembling water boiling to an extreme. This situation lasted for a minute before an eerie silence fell.
Yet this silence felt even more terrifying, as an invisible pressure approached, leaving people uncertain of its direction.
Tobirama Senju's eyes flickered with uncertainty. He solemnly said, "A volcano is about to erupt. Why not bring back the remaining Konoha ninja? They're fighting for the village."
Anya softly murmured, "Why bother? Once [Kekkaijin: Pot of Poison] is unleashed, they'll only suffer a worse death. Let their flesh and blood act as bait ahead, attracting more enemies. That way, their deaths become more meaningful."
Tobirama Senju fell silent, closing his eyes, seemingly mourning the fighters.
After completing communication with Sasori using [Spirit Transformation Technique], Anya understood the timing had arrived. His voice trembled as he said, "Get ready. It's time to ascend."
"Boom..."
A boulder carrying flames soared through the sky like a graceful arc.
Endless flames spread to the horizon, dazzling the eyes. Countless streams of fire shot straight into the heavens, each resembling a roaring dragon.
Soon, besides the furious roar of flames, a painful hissing sound appeared, intensifying various cries of agony into roars, transforming them into shrill screams. The screams reached a peak, crashing in waves like ocean tides, or like laments from hell, deafening.
"This... the volcano has erupted. Run for your lives!!!"
Realizing the abnormality early, Rasa immediately turned to flee. Confronting this overwhelming natural force, even Kage-level experts dared not resist.
Madara Uchiha, witnessing this scene, murmured, "Mount Hakuto has become an active volcano. How coincidental. Exactly how did he manage this? This certainly brought me a surprise. But... it's still insufficient."
"Iwagakure Team One, prepare to use the Land Splitting Technique to divert the lava flow. Team Two, use the Earthen Rampart for defense. Mist ninja, all units advance and use Water Release to assist Iwagakure's defense."
As commands were issued, the previously chaotic allied forces calmed significantly. They began using ninjutsu, changing the terrain. After the mountain collapse came the earth split. Under the fiery lava flow, mingling with large quantities of water, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Atop Mount Hakuto, centered on Anya, violent lightning erupted from his body. A black Susano'o enveloped him entirely, with eight silvery beams rising from various parts of the divine warrior's body. These beams converged at a single point midair before shooting straight into the heavens. As Anya poured his immense chakra into them, the combined beams radiated blinding brilliance, engulfing the entire Mount Hakuto in their glow.
The Susano'o-summoned Demonic Blade was also gripped tightly in his hand. Then, with one hand, the divine warrior lifted the massive blade steadily to meet the converging power of thunder. Above Mount Hakuto, dark clouds blanketed the sky. Rumbling thunder echoed in waves, drawing closer and closer. Silver lightning slithered like shining serpents through the air, flickering in and out of sight, shattering the final whisper of serenity in the dark night.
"Boom... boom..."
A heavenly bolt crashed down. Instantly, everything within that area turned into scorched earth.
"Heat from volcanic eruptions creates rising air currents, which form storm clouds—and those storm clouds spark lightning. The high temperatures suddenly expand the air near the lightning, and finally, Susano'o absorbs and channels it all. So, this was your ultimate move all along," Tobirama Senju realized, watching from the side, his heart pounding violently.
Clad in thunderous power, the Susano'o leaped from the mountaintop. Struck by lightning from above and flames from below, the battlefield descended into apocalyptic chaos. Amid the pitch-black night, silver lightning crackled, molten magma surged, and the dark figure of Susano'o loomed—ushering in what felt like the end of the world itself.
