"'Madara Uchiha…'"
"'Your little game with meteors… ends here!!!'"
Kaoru's voice echoed like the voice of heaven itself. For a moment, everyone inside the barrier lost all sense of time and space, even forgetting their own existence.
The next second, the seven colossal meteors slammed down with the force to annihilate everything!
BOOM!!!
The deafening impact shattered the eardrums of all who heard it, leaving them temporarily stunned.
The massive rocks crashed into the earth, creating craters so deep they seemed to reach the very core of the planet.
For a moment, the world was nothing but a sea of dust and smoke.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
As the meteors shattered, massive fragments scattered, carving countless more holes into the landscape.
Mountains, oceans, and forests were all turned into a desolate wasteland of craters. The face of the Land of Lightning was completely altered forever.
The bombardment raged for over ten minutes before finally subsiding. Madara floated coldly in the sky, looking down at the sea of smoke below.
"'I offered you eternal life in the dream world of the Infinite Tsukuyomi… yet you chose to follow Kaoru. Very well… then go to hell!'"
Madara muttered confidently. No one could survive seven meteors of this scale. The silence below seemed to prove him right.
"'Well then… since everyone is dead… I suppose there's no need for the Eye of the Moon Plan anymore…'" He looked up at the sun.
"'What delusions are you spouting now, Madara?'"
A cold voice cut through the air. Madara's heart jumped. He looked down in disbelief as Kaoru's figure slowly emerged from the smoke.
"'You… you're still alive?!'" Shock flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"'It doesn't matter! Your entire Alliance is destroyed! The age of shinobi is over! Peace… I have achieved it!!!'"
"'How naive. Open your Rinnegan and look closely…'"
Kaoru's mocking voice drifted on the wind. Madara froze and looked down again.
As the dust cleared, he saw them—thousands of ninja, emerging from the craters like ants, completely unharmed!
"'How is this possible?!'" Madara was speechless. He had reduced the land to ruin, yet everyone was alive?
Not only Madara, but the ninja themselves were utterly confused. They remembered seeing the sky fall, then blacking out. Now they had woken up, and not a single person was dead.
"'We survived…'" Gaara stared at his hands in awe.
"'Was it a genjutsu?'" Tsunade wondered. But the devastated landscape around them proved the meteors were very real.
"'Whatever it was… this must be the Sixth Hokage's doing…'" Mei Terumī whispered, looking up at Kaoru with gratitude and reverence.
Lamb of God. The ultimate ability of the Eternal Hunters. It blesses the ground, creating a domain where no living thing can die.
Therefore, even though the meteors had smashed the earth to pieces, not a single life was lost. Not a ninja, not even a single fly. Madara's ultimate attack had failed to kill anyone…
"'Stop staring in shock. Your technique killed no one. Now, think carefully… do you have any other tricks left?'"
Ignoring the stunned expressions, Kaoru spoke calmly. His scarlet eyes locked onto Madara with the coldness of death.
What kind of look is that…?
Madara was terrified. Not only was Kaoru unharmed, but he had saved everyone else too. What kind of power was this?
"'Impossible!!!'"
"'I wield the power of Six Paths and the Ten-Tails… I am the only god in this world!!!'"
Stung by Kaoru's gaze, Madara roared in fury, unleashing every ounce of his chakra and ocular power.
"'Calling yourself a god…?'"
"'Right now… you are no different from Nagato…'"
Kaoru's voice rang out coldly. In his eyes, Madara and the once-arrogant Nagato were one and the same. Both were blinded by their own power… and both would be humbled by reality.
"'Enough talk. Truth-Seeking Balls, Limbo, Planetary Devastation… you've used them all. What else can you possibly do?'"
Kaoru didn't even blink. Seeing Madara's overwhelming aura, he remained utterly indifferent.
Madara stared up at him, his face grim. The ability to negate death, and the power to freeze mountains… these things terrified him more than anything.
And he's still at full strength… Saving everyone didn't even drain him…
Madara's eyes narrowed in confusion. Even after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki… I'm still no match for him…
From the very start, he had been completely suppressed. Without the regeneration of his powers, he would have died a hundred times over.
Realizing this, Madara's mind turned to his final plan.
'Kaoru is stronger than I imagined…' He gritted his teeth, suppressing his desire to fight. 'Perhaps only the Infinite Tsukuyomi can defeat him. I cannot delay the plan any longer…'
Putting aside all distractions, Madara locked his eyes onto Kaoru. He rose higher into the sky and released his chakra—it surged like an infinite tidal wave. He slammed his hands together!
"God: Nativity of a World of Trees!!!"
At that moment, the entire world shook. The very air seemed to boil.
RUMBLE!!!
Everyone felt the ground churn violently. The earth split open, as if a colossal beast was awakening from beneath.
Under the horrified gazes of all, a tree of unimaginable size began to rise from the cracks in the earth, stretching upward toward the heavens!
"'What… is that…?'"
