Satoshi and A instantly collided.
Behind Satoshi, the upper half of a Susanoo rose from the ground.
Boom!
A visible, distorted shockwave suddenly erupted from the point of collision between the two.
The air was extremely compressed, emitting a teeth-grinding shriek.
The violent air current was like an invisible giant hammer, smashing fiercely in all directions.
The sturdy walls cracked like paper, and large sections of reinforced concrete, carrying sharp gravel and dust, turned into a destructive downpour.
"Ugh!"
The guards were slammed away by the shockwave before they could even form hand seals to defend themselves. Their backs hit the remaining half of the broken wall heavily, and the intense pain made their vision go black.
"How is this possible? How can he be evenly matched with Raikage-sama in physical strength?!"
Is this guy even human?
No, his strength seems even greater than Raikage-sama's.
At the center of the battlefield, A's fist, covered in violent Lightning Chakra, had just torn through the air.
However, just as the fist was about to touch its target, Satoshi's figure vanished from his original spot.
"What!"
The next moment, a deadly chill came from A's side and behind him.
Satoshi raised his right arm and struck at A's neck.
In the nick of time, A twisted his body to the extreme, using his shoulder and neck, covered in Lightning Chakra, to withstand the blow.
There was a deafening bang that made one's scalp tingle.
The ground beneath A's feet exploded, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly, the immense recoil causing his body to sink sharply.
"Die!"
The cold glint in Satoshi's eyes intensified, and with a low growl, his strength surged again.
Using the remaining force of his downward strike, he transformed his palm into a fist and, with the momentum to split mountains and shatter rocks, slammed his fist fiercely into the ground beneath A's feet.
It was as if the ground had been struck by a meteor. The hard rock floor shattered inch by inch, instantly forming a giant pit several meters in diameter.
A's support point completely vanished, and he, in a state of weightlessness, inevitably fell towards the next floor.
"Raikage-sama!"
"Protect Raikage-sama!"
At this moment, the other guards rushed in.
Shouting, drawing kunai, and brandishing swords, they charged forward recklessly.
Satoshi's arms moved like blurry phantoms. Each strike was incredibly precise, and they were sent flying by the immense force without any power to resist. Their bodies crashed through the already crumbling windows, and they screamed as they fell from a great height.
Swoosh!
Darui's blade was only halfway raised when Murasame's sharp tip precisely pierced his shoulder blade, nailing him firmly to the teetering wall.
Satoshi clapped his hands.
Summoning Jutsu!
Space violently twisted, and accompanied by a huge white smoke, the diligent toads of Mount Myōboku appeared one after another.
Another tough battle was about to begin.
The large toads of Mount Myōboku landed in the center of Kumogakure, and from the center of the smoke, a massive shadow slowly emerged.
It was the Great Toad Sage, who had not been seen for a long time. He seemed to be half-asleep, his huge eyelids drooping, letting out soft snores.
The toads looked at Satoshi. "Kid, what's so important that it needs to alarm the Great Toad Sage?"
Satoshi uttered, "Demolish the house."
"Ah? Alright. Demolish."
Gamahiro descended from the sky, sitting down in the most densely built area.
With Gamahiro's landing point as the center, houses within a radius of several hundred meters instantly collapsed, turning into a rising cloud of dust.
The shockwave swept out, shaking even more distant buildings askew.
The other toads wielded weapons, wildly slashing at the buildings and ninjas beneath their feet.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Kumogakure, built on a high mountain, turned into dust.
Everywhere was a scene of ruins.
"Bastard!!!"
A struggled to climb out of the rubble.
These foolish toads dared to demolish his village.
Raging fury instantly consumed his reason, burning every nerve, leaving only one mad and pure thought in his mind.
Kill them all.
He would start with that oldest useless one.
A forcibly squeezed out the remaining Chakra in his body. Violent Lightning Chakra once again covered his entire body, emitting a piercing screech.
He transformed into a blue lightning bolt that tore through space, ignoring all the toads' attacks along the way. His target was the massive Great Toad Sage, vowing to smash the old toad's head with one punch.
The toads cried out in alarm, "Great Toad Sage! Wake up! Danger!"
In their impression, this old senior, who had lived for thousands of years, knew nothing but dreaming.
The dazed Gamamaru opened his eyes. "Huh? What danger?"
He looked up and saw a lightning bolt getting closer and closer.
"Oh dear, what should I do..."
He was still bewildered. Years of slacking off had made him forget how to fight.
As A's fist, wrapped in destructive lightning, was about to strike, stimulated by the absolute aura of death, an instinct deeply buried in his bloodline was finally awakened.
He subconsciously raised his forelimb, and then, swung it. In an instant, an unimaginable amount of natural energy gushed out.
Bang!
A felt as if he had been struck head-on by a mountain made of pure energy. The Lightning Chakra Armor he was so proud of shattered inch by inch like a fragile eggshell. Unrivaled immense force penetrated his body, instantly dispersing all his Chakra.
A was like a falling leaf in a strong wind, violently smacked away by that irresistible immense force. His body tumbled uncontrollably in the air, and the scenery in his vision rapidly receded.
Finally, with a dull thud, he was deeply embedded in a mountain far from the battlefield.
"Huh?"
Gamamaru stared blankly at the battlefield.
A shiny little thing had just flown past?
He smacked his lips, his huge head seeming a bit hazy again. "What just happened?"
Satoshi's lips twitched.
Didn't they say the Great Toad Sage had no fighting ability, just an old muddlehead who fooled Jiraiya?
So, when you said he had no fighting ability, were you comparing him to aliens?
The toads of Mount Myōboku looked at each other. Clearly, the Great Toad Sage's performance far exceeded their expectations.
Most of them had never seen the Great Toad Sage fight, thinking he was just an old muddlehead who slept all the time. So they had always surrounded the Great Toad Sage, fearing he might encounter some harm.
Now it seems, who the hell is protecting whom?
If you had said you were so strong, it would have been better if you had just gone and raided Akatsuki's home base in Amegakure last time.
Then we wouldn't have almost been blown to death by those explosive tags.
Let's go, let's not play anymore. Let the boss mess around here by himself.
As for the Great Toad Sage, watching the toads disappear one by one, he greeted Satoshi.
"White-haired kid, I'm leaving too. I don't have any fighting ability, so you're on your own."
"...Goodbye."
On the other side, A, deeply embedded in the mountain, struggled to move his fingers, his heart filled with a boundless sense of absurdity.
What exactly was that toad?
He clearly looked like an old muddlehead, but how did he just swat him away with one slap?
That seemingly casual wave contained an incredibly inconceivable power. Like a mountain collapse and a tsunami, it instantly swatted him away like a mosquito.
Why had he never heard of such a monster in Konoha?
How many Tailed Beasts was that?
As the thought flashed, a deadly sense of crisis suddenly descended.
A sharp whooshing sound was already approaching. High-speed spinning water balls tore through the air, fiercely striking his not-yet-fully-recovered Lightning Chakra Armor.
Boom... Boom...
Deafening explosions linked together, and violent water currents impacted A's body like high-pressure water blades.
A's Lightning Chakra Armor was now as fragile as wet tissue paper. The violent energy easily tore through the lightning defense, wildly pouring into his body.
His vision was completely consumed by the shockwave and splashing water, his consciousness teetering on the edge of extreme pain.
