Chapter 142: Heaven-Shattering and Earth-Splitting

"Tch, what a troublesome Puppet…"

On the other side of the forest, Tsunade was continuously dodging Sasori's attacks while constantly looking for an opportunity to close in.

However, this kind of battle really made her somewhat irritated.

This wasn't because her abilities were lacking; on the contrary, she hadn't even been injured up to this point!

Yet Sasori's mastery over Puppet control was extremely profound, coupled with those highly poisonous hidden weapons and the Third Kazekage Puppet, leaving her truly unable to close the distance for the time being.

"Geez, if it weren't for 'that', I wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Tsunade sighed inwardly; hemophobia was her most severe problem right now.

Having twice witnessed her beloved fall in a pool of blood with her own eyes, those blood-soaked scenes had already become her nightmare.

Once she saw blood, all those past events would resurface.

This also caused her—even though she wasn't afraid of the highly toxic hidden weapons and could completely push through these Puppets and attacks head-on—to not dare attempt it.

Yet even so, the ground beneath her feet was already littered with shattered Puppet parts.

"You seem to have some reservations?"

Sasori also noticed some issues, speaking oddly while manipulating the Puppets.

"Although you are still formidable, you don't seem to have displayed the legendary, immensely powerful Medical Ninjutsu. Do you still fear my poison?"

"Hmph…"

Tsunade let out a cold huff. After shattering a Puppet with a single punch, she quickly flashed aside to dodge the Iron Sand attack.

She moved around swiftly while pondering how to respond.

"Heh, what she fears is not your poison at all…"

But right at this moment, Orochimaru, who was dealing with Jiraiya's attacks, chuckled and spoke.

"You really don't understand her well enough."

"Shut up, Orochimaru!"

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Jiraiya immediately thought it was bad.

The fact that Tsunade suffered from hemophobia was a secret; very few people in the entire Ninja World knew about it.

After all, whether as a medical Ninja or one of the Sannin of Konoha, such an illness was a huge hidden danger and blow to anyone.

But unfortunately, Orochimaru clearly understood this matter, which made Jiraiya somewhat worried.

He immediately increased his offensive intensity, constantly pressing close to Orochimaru while quickly changing the topic.

"Why did you guys show up here? Besides, Makoto is right—you dared to kill the Fourth Raikage, and you dared to control the Mizukage, but what about Hanzou?"

"As for controlling the Fourth Mizukage, I really don't know anything about it. As for killing the Fourth Raikage…"

Orochimaru blocked Jiraiya's fist, licked his lips, and smiled disdainfully.

"At least from what I currently understand, it really wasn't done by us, and I'm even in the dark about Hanzou's matter."

As he spoke, Orochimaru's mouth suddenly opened, and instantly a sharp sword was spat out from his mouth, stabbing straight toward Jiraiya!

"You really are disgusting…"

Jiraiya reacted extremely quickly, instantly leaping backward while throwing several Kunai, simultaneously putting his hands together and shouting in a low voice.

"It wasn't done by you? It's a fact clear to the entire Ninja World, and you still want to deny it?"

Ninjutsu: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!

In an instant, driven by Chakra, those few Kunai instantly transformed into a dense, overwhelming sheet.

"How truly boring…"

However, seeing this, Orochimaru gently shook his head, pressed one hand against the ground, and chuckled hoarsely.

"If we did it, I won't deny it. In fact, even if it wasn't me, I couldn't be bothered to deny it. But certain people really annoy me, and besides, I never liked that guy Hanzou anyway."

Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!

A massive barrier burst out of the ground, instantly blocking the sky-full of Kunai.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru also paid attention to his feet, remaining on guard against Jiraiya's sneak attack at any moment.

But after waiting for a while, he found no movement at all, which instantly made the smile on his face grow somewhat richer.

He hadn't said a single false statement after all; he really didn't know how Hanzou died, and anyway, he had never seen it.

But when these "truths" were strung together, they didn't feel "true" in the slightest.

Jiraiya not making a move right now was also enough to explain many issues.

After all, Jiraiya understood his personality; he never bothered to explain or refute anything.

"Coupled with the existence of that 'Nuclear Organization' belonging to the 'Man from the Heavens', oh Jiraiya."

Orochimaru habitually licked his lips. If this guy wasn't going to make a move, it would be his turn!

"Hmm?"

However, just as Orochimaru was preparing to strike with a heavy blow, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Because he abruptly sensed a powerful outburst of Chakra, and this power felt wrong even to him!

"This is…"

He muttered, and the next moment, a piercing roar abruptly struck!

Boom! Accompanied by the earth-shaking, violent roar, it instantly made even Orochimaru unable to stand steadily.

He suddenly turned his head back and unexpectedly saw a huge, visible shockwave rapidly spreading over.

In front of this shockwave, everything was ruthlessly crushed to pieces; towering trees, hillsides, and even distant mounds were instantly swallowed up!

Dust and smoke surged into the sky, instantly blocking the sunlight, and the entire sky became pitch dark at this moment.

"What is this?"

A trace of bewilderment appeared on Orochimaru's face; he lacked his usual calmness.

Not only him, but Sasori also wore an expression of utter disbelief.

As this power spread, his already scarce Puppets suddenly went out of control, and some were even directly pulverized in mid-air!

Even the sand iron gathered by the Third Kazekage poured down directly like a rainstorm at this moment, no longer able to solidify.

"Run, you idiot!"

Even Jiraiya was dumbfounded at this moment, swallowing hard as if he hadn't reacted yet.

Fortunately, Tsunade's reaction was extremely fast; she immediately shouted at Jiraiya.

That massive shockwave was clearly not something they could withstand head-on!

Yet she also felt somewhat worried inside; this range was simply too large, and it was hard to say whether they could escape in time.

"And that direction... is that where that brat Hyuga Makoto is fighting?"

Clearly, she recognized it, but she was currently powerless to do anything.

"Hmm?"

Yet just as she was most worried, another terrifying wave of power suddenly erupted.

At this moment, space seemed to be compressed, and an indescribable, bizarre distortion manifested before their eyes.

The next instant, an ultimate flash of white light swept past, instantly illuminating the gloomy, grey sky like midday in midsummer!

Such brilliance made people unable to open their eyes!

"Damn it, what on earth is this…"

On the other side of the battlefield, Kakuzu's expression drastically changed as he had been relentlessly suppressing Yamato.

A bad memory suddenly surged into his heart.

Originally, he was still somewhat smug; after all, the few times he encountered Wood Release previously, it had been life-threatening, but now he had finally run into one that wasn't quite up to par.

Yet turning his head around, it turned into this ghost of a situation?

"What kind of joke is this?"

Meanwhile, Yamato's expression was also somewhat unsightly. He had been continuously suppressed and beaten by Kakuzu, and had only managed to get a breather just now.

As a result, turning to look, it seemed even more troublesome!

"What happened?"

Right beside them, Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo was constantly flickering at this moment.

His face was also somewhat pale; Uchiha Izumi's words just now had stimulated him, causing him to momentarily lose his focus.

If he didn't possess Susanoo, that slash would have truly cost him his life!

Yet the moment Susanoo was activated, this intangible power had already surged over, giving him no space to counterattack at all.

"Even Susanoo has been affected?"

Uchiha Itachi shielded his vision with one hand, but his mind was entirely filled with Sasuke's safety...

"Dammit!"

Uchiha Izumi also increased her distance. She was likewise blinded by the white light to the point where she couldn't open her eyes at all, but her heart was full of sighs.

She had still underestimated the power of the Mangekyo. Even though she caught the moment Uchiha Itachi lost his focus, the appearance of Susanoo directly caused her plan to fall through!

She truly couldn't be like Hyuga Makoto, who could easily deal with Susanoo; she genuinely felt a sense of powerlessness.

If not for this white light, she probably would have been in real trouble...

"Is Senior Makoto fighting?"

Shielding her eyes against that dazzling white light with her hand, Uchiha Izumi thought inwardly, while Kakashi, also not far away, gazed into the distance.

"With this commotion, I'm afraid it really is Makoto…"

He also couldn't quite figure out the current situation, because earlier, after piercing through Obito's body, he had already entered the Kamui Dimension!

It was his first time entering that place, and also his first time peering into the full picture inside Kamui.

It was just a pity that inside the Kamui Dimension, he and Obito only tangled briefly before being directly driven out!

"These aren't my eyes after all, and why is Obito's vitality so tenacious?"

Kakashi furrowed his brow tightly; he had truly gone for the kill just now!

However, although Obito was in extreme Pain, he still had leftover strength. How could this not leave him puzzled?

"Could this be the power of Wood Release...

"

Kakashi muttered inwardly, but he quickly shifted his focus right before him.

If he wanted to transmit this intelligence back, he had to at least get past the immediate hurdle before him!

"Kakashi...

"

Inside the Kamui Dimension, Obito's figure was somewhat illusory, but it gradually became solid.

He gently removed his mask, and the Sharingan in his left eye rapidly turned ash-white!

Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and gouged out this eye.

"This time, I finally experienced the Pain belonging to Rin. This kind of Pain is truly unforgettable!"

His voice was so deep and chilling, and the Pain he experienced this time was double.

Whether it was what Minato Namikaze brought him back then, or the very moment Rin's body was pierced, it all blended perfectly with Kakashi at this moment.

Such Pain was unspeakable, and this feeling was something he could never let go of!

"It's just...

"

Yet inexplicably, he couldn't help touching his own chest.

"Just when I was pierced earlier, something seemed off?"

Obito felt somewhat puzzled inside, but right now he wasn't willing to think too much about it.

In his mind, besides being filled entirely with Kakashi, he also noticed the changes outside.

"Such a huge commotion, is that guy Nagato?"

He constantly forced himself to calm down, because he knew that to create a new world, he had to keep that guy Nagato alive!

No matter how painful he was right now, he had to make some choices.

"Kakashi, we will settle this score properly next time!"

While pondering, he re-equipped himself with a Sharingan, and his figure also slowly began to distort...

"What a lunatic!"

Meanwhile, at the center of the battle, Hyuga Makoto felt the immense repulsive force rushing toward him; honestly, even he was somewhat dazed at the time.

He admitted that when it came to striking people where it hurt most, no one could rival him.

"But turning it directly into this, wasn't I a bit too much?"

Hyuga Makoto rarely engaged in self-reflection, but he was even clearer that now was not the time to think about these things.

"Resolving the current trouble first is more important...

While pondering, a flash of blue Chakra suddenly churned up around his body, and the powers of Sage Arts and Yin-Yang Release continuously intersected.

The Chakra belonging to the Tenseigan, hidden within it, also continuously resonated with it!

"Although it's not very convenient to use the Tenseigan right now, making handling a bit inconvenient, however...

Hyuga Makoto murmured, his entire body already enveloped by a deep blue Chakra resembling flames.

The blue curse mark appeared all the more inexplicably eerie at this moment; he naturally could sense that this Super Shinra Tensei "seemed not to be all that strong."

At least, it didn't reach the extent of destroying Konoha in a single move as in his memories!

Perhaps Nagato hadn't reached his future level yet, or perhaps it was out of concern that there were still his own people around.

But this gave him an opportunity; he slightly raised his head and spoke indifferently.

"Quite a good power, but...

Before his voice fell, he instantly raised his hand.

Although it was just a simple action, in some mysterious way, it seemed to incorporate several types of fist techniques and routines.

These routines and actions, in just the blink of an eye, had already melted into one, flowing as naturally as heaven-made creations.

In an instant, an eerie Chakra erupted violently in his hand, and he also swung out this palm strike!

"Do not get too carried away in front of me."

Rumble. Amidst the understated voice came the earth-shaking roar!

The intersection of the two forces instantly turned heaven and earth a stark white.

Illuminated by that extreme white light, even Hyuga Makoto frowned slightly.

And as these two forces began to pour out unceasingly, they instantly swept across the entire forest, and even the valley behind Pain!

Rumbling, the rising dust shot straight into the clouds, the earth continuously collapsed at this moment, and the surrounding trees frantically collapsed amidst the roaring sounds.

The towering mountain behind Pain at this moment also seemed unable to withstand the eruption of this power, beginning to emit continuous wails.

Crack, crack.

Boulders constantly shattered under such impact, and then continuously detached from the mountain body.

Yet they didn't even have time to hit the ground before turning into flying ash under the squeeze of these two forces.

As for the trees slightly closer to them, they couldn't even hold out for a second before turning into dust!

The two forces continued to collide, and the searing white light grew increasingly intense.

On that towering mountain behind Pain, the cracks also became more and more numerous and dense.

Cracks resembling spider webs had already spread all over this mountain!

"How is this possible...

"

In the distant jungle, Nagato, who had set up a barrier for protection, also wore a dazed expression.

Even though he knew Hyuga Makoto seemed to possess a very strong Taijutsu, almost obliterating the Fourth Raikage in a single move.

No matter how strong Taijutsu was, he didn't believe it could truly compare to the power of the Rinnegan.

Yet the scene before him was clearly telling him that someone could truly reach this extent!

Even though there were still members of the Akatsuki Organization around, preventing him from using these powers without scruples.

"But to be able to block it like this, is this something a human can do?"

Nagato couldn't figure it out, but the next instant his expression changed, and he immediately shouted in a low voice to Konan beside him.

"Get ready to evacuate; this place is about to be affected!"

"I understand."

Konan nodded, her face also filled with solemnity at this moment.

She naturally could also sense the energy continuously brewing and erupting in the distance, but like Nagato, neither of them expected someone to truly block such an attack.

Furthermore, she was even clearer that Nagato choosing to evacuate was probably out of concern that she would be affected.

This made her sigh slightly in her heart, but just as she wanted to open her mouth to say something, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She suddenly had the feeling of being watched, a feeling that caused her extreme palpitations!

"This is...

"

Not only her, but even Nagato was the same.

This inexplicable sense of being watched made him feel as if he had returned to that moonlit night, seeing that golden figure bathing in the moonlight!

Rumble. But he simply didn't have time to think more; a huge roar had already exploded in the outside world.

The towering mountain behind Pain let out its final wail, and then shattered instantly!

In an instant, amidst such roaring sounds, an unspeakable tornado storm quietly formed.

This tornado storm, resembling a ghost, instantly devoured all things.

Everything in front of it turned into fine powder in an instant!

Whether it was boulders, trees, or the entire forest and even the mountains, under the eruption of this power, they all appeared so fragile.

This power swept toward everyone, including the dense forest where Nagato and the others were located!

"Oh no...

"

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and even everyone who had just fought had drastic changes in their expressions.

After that white light burst open, all that remained was the thickest, seemingly endless power sweeping across the earth!

And all of them were enveloped by this power, completely unable to escape.

Deep in the distant forest, Nagato's expression also changed.

The barrier protecting them simply could not withstand the impact of this energy.

In an instant, the barrier shattered directly like glass, and that energy poured straight in without any obstruction!

"Bansho Ten'in...

Facing this scene, Nagato could only quickly pull a boulder out of the ground to block in front of them.

He had just used Shinra Tensei, and now he could only use this method to defend.

"Hurry and leave; this place can no longer hold out."

He turned his head and quickly shouted to Konan.

"Moreover, that guy possesses the Byakugan, he's probably...

"

"No need for 'probably', I have already arrived."

But before his voice fell, that indifferent voice heard earlier through Pain was already echoing in his ear!

He turned back in disbelief, only to see Hyuga Makoto had arrived before him at some unknown time.

Furthermore, Hyuga Makoto reached out his hand, heading straight for his eyes!

Hum.

Unaccountably, he felt a burst of Chakra being frantically extracted from within his body, and even from his eyes.

Accompanying this extraction, Hyuga Makoto's indifferent voice sounded once again.

"Didn't I say, do not get too carried away in front of me."
