Kikyo Castle.
"Hahaha!"
"Sunagakure, what's wrong? Why are you fighting the air? Has the desert heat finally scrambled your brains?"
"Is this supposed to tickle us?"
From atop Kikyo Castle's walls, Yūhi Shinku deliberately raised his voice, his tone dripping with mockery as he stared at the towering clouds of smoke and dust in the distance.
War wasn't just about blades and jutsu.
Sometimes, sarcasm and rage-bait were just as effective.
The trap they had painstakingly arranged had been wiped out in an instant by the Sand Village's advance. Worse still, the resulting explosion had kicked up a massive wall of dust—like a desert sandstorm rolling straight toward them.
The morale Shinku had only just managed to ignite earlier was already starting to waver.
So, naturally, it was time to talk trash.
"Maybe they thought the sun was too hot today," another Konoha shinobi chimed in.
"So they decided to punch the air to cool off."
"Hahaha!"
Under Shinku's lead, laughter rippled through the Konoha ranks.
The previously heavy atmosphere instantly lightened.
"Since Sunagakure wants to joke around so badly," a calm voice said,
"Let's send them a little gift."
To steady morale completely, Yagami stepped forward, a faint chuckle leaving his lips.
With a single leap, he landed atop the stone battlement of Kikyo Castle.
"Lord Yagami!"
"Lord Yagami!"
The moment he appeared—the man who had single-handedly slaughtered over a hundred enemies—the attention of every Konoha shinobi snapped toward him.
Cheers and shouts echoed across the wall.
"Wind Style — Rasenshuriken!"
Yagami deliberately shouted the name aloud as he raised his right hand high.
Wind-natured chakra surged violently from his body, pouring into his palm.
A sharp buzzing filled the air.
In the blink of an eye, a swirling chakra sphere condensed in his hand.
The sound grew harsher—more piercing—as the chakra within became increasingly unstable.
Four rotating wind blades formed along the sphere's edges, carving the air itself.
A completely unfamiliar Wind-style shuriken finally took shape.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—!
The hurricane born from the Rasenshuriken instantly blasted away the surrounding dust and smoke.
Yagami's figure stood fully revealed to everyone.
"What kind of ninjutsu is that?!"
"That wind chakra… it's insane!"
"This is way beyond A-rank!!"
Shocked voices erupted all along the castle wall.
Even Shinku, a veteran jōnin, felt his heart jolt at the sight of that terrifyingly violent chakra.
At this moment, there wasn't a trace of dust around Yagami.
The white glow of the Rasenshuriken was dazzling—visible even from afar.
Standing there, he looked like a god preparing to pass judgment.
Uzumaki Kushina and Hatake Kakashi were equally stunned.
They had always believed Yagami's greatest strength lay in his swordsmanship.
Yet now—
He was wielding a ninjutsu so overwhelming it defied common sense.
And worse…
It was clearly something the ninja world had never seen before.
There was no doubt—this was a technique he had developed himself.
"Wind Style… Rasenshuriken!"
Yagami roared once more, hurling the jutsu forward with all his strength.
BOOM—!!
The lingering smoke and dust were violently blasted apart.
The Rasenshuriken tore through the air, screaming toward the Sand Village forces at terrifying speed.
Every eye followed its path until it vanished into the distance.
On the other side…
"Stop—stop!"
Sunagakure's troops had just passed through the former trap zone when the sensory ninja stationed several dozen meters ahead abruptly froze.
"What's wrong now?!"
Ebizō barked sharply from within the formation.
The two sensory ninja instantly retreated at full speed.
"Report! There's an extremely violent chakra fluctuation coming from Kikyo Castle!"
"It's highly likely Konoha is preparing something catastrophic!"
Hearing this, Ebizō's brow furrowed deeply.
"Run!!"
"Disperse—now!!"
"Spread out!!!"
In that instant, every sensory ninja in the Sand forces seemed to sense the same impending disaster.
They screamed hoarsely, their voices bordering on panic.
The formation fell into a momentary daze.
The non-sensory shinobi stared in confusion, not even understanding what was happening.
Then...
BUZZZZ—!!!
A shrill, ear-splitting sound pierced through the smoke ahead.
Everyone instinctively looked up.
A Wind-style jutsu burst out of the dust cloud, tearing straight toward them.
"RUN!!!"
"MOVE—NOW!!!"
After feeling the Rasenshuriken's terrifying pressure, the Sand shinobi erupted into chaos.
That wasn't an A-rank technique.
Not even close.
Panic exploded instantly.
"Aaaah—!"
The sound of bodies tearing through the air echoed nonstop.
Sand shinobi scattered in every direction, leaping desperately to the sides and rear.
The front line collapsed in an instant.
At this moment, every Sand shinobi wished they had been born with more than two legs.
Even Ebizō, positioned near the center, was grabbed by two sensory ninja and dragged backward at full speed.
BUZZ
And then...
Just as the Sand forces scrambled to escape—
Yagami's Rasenshuriken struck.
RUMBLE—!!!
A thunderous explosion shook the earth.
Fierce winds roared wildly in all directions.
It was like a miniature nuclear detonation.
Upon impact, the Rasenshuriken rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive sphere nearly one hundred meters in diameter.
Sand shinobi caught near its edge were instantly blown away by the crushing wind pressure.
Those who failed to escape in time were swallowed whole.
Inside the sphere, countless microscopic wind blades shredded everything—attacking from all 360 degrees.
The Sand shinobi trapped within didn't even have time to scream.
They were torn apart in an instant.
RUMBLE—!!!
The clouds overhead were violently ripped open, leaving a gaping hole in the sky.
Above Kikyo Castle, the thick smoke and dust that had once obscured everything was completely blown away by the raging winds.
The battlefield came into full view once more.
Every Konoha shinobi atop the walls stood frozen.
Mouths hung open.
Eyes bulged in disbelief.
The scale.
The destruction.
The sheer power.
This was the most terrifying Wind-style ninjutsu they had ever witnessed.
