Ōnoki stared down at the battlefield, utterly dumbfounded.
Was the Raikage really going this all out?
At this moment, the Third Raikage, A, had pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its absolute limit.
His once-thick armor was now covered in sharp, protruding spikes, dramatically boosting both his offense and defense.
With his wild, golden hair flying through the air, he looked less like a man and more like a golden lion wreathed in lightning!
Calling him human didn't even feel appropriate anymore.
He was more like a Tailed Beast.
And as for Danzō?
He looked even more like a Tailed Beast.
To counter the Third Raikage's overwhelming offensive and defensive power, Danzō had fully unleashed the chakra he had extracted from the Nine-Tails.
At this moment, he appeared no different from a Jinchūriki.
His entire body was cloaked in crimson chakra, and the blade that was once wrapped in Wind Release Chakra had now turned blood-red—as if molten lava were flowing across its surface.
A sinister and chilling aura engulfed every inch of the battlefield.
This battle wasn't just a clash between two men.
It was a battle between two rampaging beasts—one red, one blue!
"How the hell is that old bastard Danzō controlling a Tailed Beast's power?"
Ōnoki's face grew increasingly grim.
Not because of Danzō's strength—
But because of his constant evolution!
Every time he met Danzō, the man had a new trick up his sleeve.
First, it was Wood Release.
Then, the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Then, some bizarre ability that could absorb jutsu...
And now, he had even mastered the chakra of the strongest Tailed Beast—the Nine-Tails!
Ōnoki, as someone from the same generation, couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of danger.
It wasn't just Konoha's younger generation that was terrifying—
Even their elders were absolute monsters!
Not only were they still at the peak of their combat prowess—they were still improving.
And that was what made them truly terrifying.
Ōnoki glanced toward the distant battlefield with concern.
While it was in Iwagakure's best interest for Danzō and the Raikage to keep tearing each other apart—
The way things were going, neither of them would fall anytime soon.
And if the fight dragged on too long, something unexpected might happen elsewhere.
And sure enough—
The sheer pressure of the unleashed Nine-Tails' chakra was so immense that it could be felt from over a thousand meters away.
Even on another battlefield, Jiraiya, who was currently fighting the A-B Combo alongside Minato, felt its presence.
He gazed at the crimson pillar of chakra with a serious expression.
"He's even releasing the power of the Nine-Tails now?"
Beneath him, Gamabunta swung his giant sword, blocking an incoming punch from the Eight-Tails before leaping backward.
Realizing that this battle needed to end quickly, Jiraiya decided to stop holding back.
With a hand seal, he summoned the Two Great Toad Sages onto his shoulders—Shima and Fukasaku—allowing them to gather Senjutsu chakra for him.
"Jiraiya-boy, these enemies just keep getting stronger."
Shima sighed in exasperation.
Not long ago, they had only been fighting the Five-Tails.
Now, their opponent was the Eight-Tails—
The second strongest Tailed Beast after the Nine-Tails.
While each of the Tailed Beasts had their own unique strengths, the Eight-Tails was universally acknowledged as second only to Kurama.
And to make matters worse, they were fighting against a Perfect Jinchūriki.
Even the two Great Toad Sages found this situation difficult.
Jiraiya had only one thought:
End this war as soon as possible.
His expression hardened as he spoke in a deep voice:
"I'll be counting on you two."
"Got it."
Fukasaku and Shima instantly set aside their concerns and focused, rapidly gathering Senjutsu chakra and channeling it into Jiraiya.
Crimson markings spread across his face—
Jiraiya had finally entered his strongest form—
Sage Mode!
"Baka Yarō! That annoying state again?!"
Inside his mindscape, Killer B didn't hold back his complaints.
Yet, despite his bravado, there was a trace of worry on his face.
Sensing his emotions, the Eight-Tails spoke up to reassure him.
"Relax. The strength of the Third Raikage is undeniable."
"That man is a powerhouse who could match me in pure physical combat. No one can possibly break through his armor."
The Eight-Tails' voice was filled with certainty.
With this reassurance, Killer B's confidence surged.
"Got it!"
"In that case, I'll make sure to take down my enemy before Uncle Raikage secures his victory!"
"Yosh! Let's go, Hachibi!"
—
Meanwhile, Minato flickered across the battlefield, his form flashing in and out of sight.
Chasing after him relentlessly was a streak of lightning, engaging him in a fierce duel.
"Give it up, Namikaze Minato!"
"That old geezer, Shimura Danzō, is no match for my father!"
The Fourth Raikage was equally confident in his father's strength.
Minato, ever composed, responded with a polite yet firm smile.
"Sorry, but I have just as much confidence in Elder Danzō's strength."
"You should be more concerned about the safety of the Third Raikage."
Hearing Minato's unwavering confidence, the Fourth Raikage let out a cold laugh.
"In that case, go to the grave with that old man!"
Lightning erupted from his body, crackling with power.
In the next instant, Minato vanished in a golden flash—
SLASH!
A kunai, infused with Wind Release Chakra, struck out, sending the Fourth Raikage hurtling backward!
—
On another battlefield, Fugaku Uchiha and the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Yugito Nii, clashed fiercely.
Under the combined pressure of the Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo, Yugito had no choice but to unleash the power of the Tailed Beast.
Her entire body became engulfed in spectral blue flames, transforming her into an agile mountain cat.
Two blazing blue tails whipped through the air as her golden feline eyes gleamed with killing intent.
But Uchiha Fugaku stood unshaken.
Layers of flesh and armor formed over his skeletal Susanoo, bringing it into its third form—the strongest state he could currently wield.
Inside the massive warrior, dark blue Magatama orbs began swirling.
Fugaku's voice was calm but resolute.
"Try taking this on."
"Yasaka Magatama!"
—
Iwagakure's battlefield.
The duel between Shisui Uchiha and the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Roshi, had turned into a vision of hell itself.
The once-blackened earth had become a sea of molten lava, burning everything within a thousand-meter radius.
All the trees had long since turned to ash, leaving behind only charred rock and rivers of magma— as if the very land itself was bleeding.
And in the midst of this inferno, a colossal green warrior stood tall like a divine guardian.
Shisui's Susanoo had reached its third stage.
But the prolonged high-intensity combat was taking its toll—
Twin streams of blood flowed down from his eyes.
Still, he refused to falter.
For the sake of victory, giving up was not an option.
Standing opposite of him—
A scarlet demon cloaked in molten fury.
Roshi had entered Tailed Beast Mode.
Since he was not a Perfect Jinchūriki, he could only manifest three tails of the Four-Tails' power.
His body had swelled fivefold, encased in a crimson cloak of Tailed Beast Chakra, making him look like a miniature version of a full Tailed Beast.
Molten lava constantly dripped from his body, acting as both his armor and his weapon.
As a battle-hardened warrior, even with the Mangekyō Sharingan suppressing the Tailed Beast's power, Roshi was still able to seize control of the fight using sheer experience.
He knew exactly where his strengths lay.
With the power of the Four-Tails, his chakra reserves were immense—nearly limitless.
Meanwhile, Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan consumed an enormous amount of chakra with every passing second.
Thus, instead of engaging Shisui in direct combat, Roshi had opted for a war of attrition.
By continuously bombarding the battlefield with massive lava attacks, he forced Shisui to keep his Susanoo active at all times—draining his chakra and eyesight at an alarming rate.
And the results were clear.
Shisui was now on the verge of exhaustion.
His breaths came in heavy, ragged gasps.
Still, he forced himself to stay standing, constantly reminding himself—
"I cannot fall here."
His teacher was still waiting for him—he had to get there and provide support!
Shisui felt his heart pounding harder and harder.
His eyes burned with intensity, as if something within them was on the verge of awakening...
—
On another battlefield, Orochimaru led the Konoha squad to a decisive advantage.
Although Iwagakure's Gari possessed the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, against one of the Three Legendary Sannin, a mere bloodline ability was simply not enough.
If not for the coordinated teamwork of the Iwagakure squad, he would have already fallen to Orochimaru.
But even with their combined efforts, if Roshi didn't finish his battle soon, their defeat was only a matter of time.
After having a giant snake swallow yet another enemy whole, Orochimaru turned his gaze toward Danzō's battlefield.
Licking his lips, he revealed a cryptic smile.
"Lord Danzō, can you still hold on?"
—
"Danzō, if you can't hold out any longer, just surrender."
The Third Raikage once again issued a ruthless challenge.
After their relentless battle, the ground beneath them was completely unrecognizable.
Within a radius of over a thousand meters, not a single piece of land remained intact.
There were either massive craters left by the Raikage's attacks, deep slashes carved by Danzō's Wind Release, or abysses pierced through by Ōnoki's Dust Release.
What had once been a complex terrain had now been reduced to a barren wasteland.
And now, one of the key instigators of this destruction, Danzō, had finally reverted back to his human form.
The Tailed Beast Chakra cloak that had once surrounded him was nearly depleted.
Not just him—even the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Armor was riddled with countless blade scars.
Under normal circumstances, these minor wounds would have instantly healed due to his abundant chakra reserves.
But now...
Even the Third Raikage had no chakra left to repair his armor.
Hovering in the darkened sky, Ōnoki's aged eyes flickered like ghostly flames.
He had been continuously using "Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique" and "Light-Weight Rock Jutsu", and the strain on his body was immense.
Especially his lower back—this grueling battle was making his old waist pains flare up again.
He glanced at the darkening sky.
The battle had begun in the morning.
That meant their fight against Danzō had raged on for an entire day!
And this wasn't just a series of skirmishes or brief encounters—
This was a prolonged, high-intensity, no-holds-barred battle.
Even in his previous battle against the Eight-Tails, the Third Raikage had never felt such exhaustion.
Ōnoki, too, rarely encountered such grueling fights.
Thanks to his Dust Release's overwhelming power, his battles usually ended one of two ways:
Either he obliterated his enemies instantly… or he was instantly defeated by even stronger foes like Uchiha Madara.
But Danzō was an entirely different kind of opponent—
A man who could take Dust Release head-on and survive.
Upon hearing the Raikage's demand for surrender, the scarred and battered Danzō suddenly grinned.
"A, you're afraid."
Despite his numerous wounds, his presence remained as fierce as an alpha wolf, looking down upon all others.
The Third Raikage's expression darkened instantly.
"Looks like you still refuse to submit."
"Then you will meet a brutal death by my hands!"
Summoning every last ounce of power within his body, the Third Raikage unleashed his Lightning Release chakra, causing golden arcs of electricity to surge through his hair once more.
At the same time, Danzō's eyes gleamed with unshakable resolve.
He raised his blade, leveling it at the Raikage.
At that moment, both warriors felt the same pressure.
The same unshakable determination.
They both realized—
This next move would decide the battle.
But neither took even a single step back.
Because they knew—
Whoever retreated now… would die.
And so, in the next instant—
They moved.
One, like a bolt of lightning.
One, like a raging storm.
In a flash, they reached each other.
A single punch. A single blade.
Both attacks—fully unleashed upon the other.
Danzō's crimson eyes spun wildly, reaching their peak.
In that moment, the entire world seemed to freeze.
Every last ounce of Wind Release Chakra in his body surged—
All flowing into his blade.
A thin layer of white light formed along the razor-sharp blade as the chakra coursed through it.
At the same time, the Senjutsu chakra Danzō had obtained from Jiraiya poured into the blade without restraint.
The fusion of the two forces transformed the entire sword into a dark white hue—
As if a fine, razor-thin spatial rift had appeared in midair.
A terrifying, ominous aura of destruction seeped from its edge.
At last, the strike Danzō had been preparing for so long was unleashed.
This was the pinnacle of his mastery.
The first-ever S-rank Wind Release technique in this world.
A strike powerful enough to tear through space itself—
A slash that could sever all creation!
At the same time, the Third Raikage's fingertips crackled with jet-black lightning.
The two warriors stood like two unstoppable forces, poised for collision.
In an instant—
A blade and a finger—
Both attacks, fully unleashed, carrying their absolute maximum power!
Yet, neither of them showed fear in the face of the other's strongest strike.
Instead—
Their blood boiled with the thrill of battle!
They were warriors who thrived on the challenge of the strongest!
"Lightning Release: One-Finger Nukite!"
"Wind Release: Blade of the Sky!"
Lightning and wind flashed simultaneously—
The battle was decided.
Danzō's Blade of the Sky, capable of slicing through space itself, struck with pinpoint accuracy—
Right at the Third Raikage's right chest.
The weakest point in his entire body.
The scar left by the Eight-Tails.
The very spot where countless of Danzō's previous slashes had landed throughout this fight.
The single flaw in the so-called "strongest shield."
—
There was no sound.
The clash between the Blade of the Sky and the Lightning Armor was completely silent.
Or perhaps—
They were simply too fast for sound to keep up.
—
At that very moment, the Third Raikage's deadly finger strike landed—
Right on Danzō's chest!
"BOOM!"
Danzō's skin, ribs, and back were completely pierced through.
The force of the impact sent him hurtling through the air like a cannonball, crashing into the distant rubble with a deafening impact!
The Third Raikage barely had time to celebrate when—
A thin, almost imperceptible rift began spreading from the scar on his right chest.
With perfect symmetry, it sliced through his entire right arm.
A second later—
His entire arm detached from his body, falling neatly to the ground.
For a brief moment—
Neither his blood nor his mind could even process what had just happened.
The wound did not immediately bleed.
He stood frozen in disbelief.
Then—
His face turned deathly pale.
His eyes widened in shock as he looked toward the distant, fallen Danzō.
He murmured in disbelief:
"Impossible..."
"How could he cut through my 'strongest shield'...?"
The next moment—
Scarlet blood erupted from his wound!
