Kaka… Kaka Kaka…
After Yagami and Kakashi were delayed for several crucial moments, Mukade finally completed his fusion.
At this instant, the puppet body he controlled towered into the clouds—nearly eighty to ninety meters tall.
Compared to that monstrous frame, Yagami and Kakashi were no different from ants standing at its feet.
"Hahahahaha…! I am… invincible!!"
Mukade spread his enormous arms wide, his laughter echoing across the ruins.
With a thunderous crack, he tore an entire watchtower out of the ground and swung it toward Yagami without hesitation.
"Scatter!"
Yagami shouted sharply.
He bolted away at once, while Kakashi shot off in the opposite direction.
The giant puppet wasn't fast but its range was overwhelming.
Splitting up was the only way to survive.
BOOM—!!
RUMBLE—!!!
The tower slammed into the ground, sending a violent shockwave through the ruins.
The earth convulsed as debris, stone, and shattered metal were hurled in every direction.
Boom.
"Hahahahaha…!"
Mukade laughed wildly, exhilarated by the sheer destruction caused by a single casual swing.
The sound of it echoed unnaturally through the devastated city.
Unbeknownst to him, the Ryūmaku chakra veins were already eroding his body from within.
"Die… you insects," he sneered.
"I'll make all of shinobi history advance according to my will!"
Seeing the two nuisances flee in opposite directions, Mukade raised the tower once more and swept it across the battlefield.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Nearby structures were obliterated one after another.
The massive tower in his grip moved like a stormwind scything through fallen leaves, generating a violent hurricane of pressure.
Kakashi, realizing he couldn't escape the sweep, slammed his hands together.
"Earth Style!"
He plunged straight underground.
With the attack's scale this large, only the sky or the earth offered any refuge.
Click. Click. Click.
Yagami twisted the bracelet on his wrist—the mechanism sliding all the way down.
In that instant, his weight dropped to the absolute minimum.
WHOOSH—!
What should have been a simple leap instead looked like a sonic breakthrough.
Yagami shot straight into the clouds in a flash—
fast as lightning.
RUMBLE—!!!
The tower swept through the space he had occupied moments earlier.
But Yagami was already gone.
Mukade didn't even realize it—his target had vanished completely.
RUMBLE—!!
The massive structures collapsed under the impact.
The ground quaked violently as smoke, dust, and shattered stone flooded the area, the storm of destruction raging unchecked.
It looked like the end of the world.
"Hahahahaha…!"
Mukade laughed again, drunk on the devastation.
There was no way anyone could survive that.
When the dust finally settled, the two figures that had been obstructing him were nowhere to be seen.
Mukade assumed they had already been crushed and buried beneath the ruins.
"This level of destructive power… it's starting to rival Susanoo,"
Yagami muttered quietly.
Floating high above the battlefield, he looked down at Rōran, now nearly half-destroyed, his expression grave.
Even knowing the original course of events, he hadn't expected Mukade to reach this level.
"…I'll end this quickly."
Yagami adjusted the bracelet again, allowing himself to descend slowly from the clouds.
At the same time, Armament Haki surged forth...
layering seamlessly with Wind-nature Chakra as both wrapped around the black blade Shisui.
Buzz—
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under the dual reinforcement, Shisui grew darker, sharper—
a faint, chilling gleam running along its edge.
Yagami focused.
Then he swung.
SWISH—!!!
A crescent-shaped slash nearly twenty meters long tore through the sky, ripping apart the clouds as it screamed downward toward the giant puppet below.
"NANI?!"
The sudden disturbance from above instantly caught Mukade's attention.
The obstacle he thought dead—
was alive?!
"How is that possible?!"
He raised the tower to block—
—but the slash had already descended.
SLASH—!
Empowered by Armament Haki and Wind Chakra, the blade pressure was terrifyingly sharp.
The tower was cleaved in half in a single instant.
The slash continued without slowing, carving straight through the giant puppet's shoulder and cutting downward.
"GRAAAH—!"
Mukade's furious roar echoed as his puppet's upper body split apart, the severed halves crashing to the ground.
"Ryūmaku — High-Speed Regeneration Technique!"
RUMBLE—
Another surge of energy flooded his body.
The shattered sections twisted, merged, and regenerated at an unnatural speed.
"Tch…"
Yagami landed lightly on the ground, already moving again.
"So I'll have to shut down the Ryūmaku veins myself…"
His voice was low, calm but resolute.
