Chapter 96: Reiatsu's Enhanced Slashing Power
Without lifting a finger, tens of thousands of ninjas were easily eliminated.
If such a person were to appear on a conventional battlefield, their existence would be akin to a natural disaster.
Facing such an enemy, the Three Kage felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
The opponent stood in the sky. While the Kage also floated using their sand, they required a medium to stand on. Yuichi had nothing beneath his feet.
Why on earth is this guy able to stand on mid air?
It wasn't just the people of the Ninja World who couldn't understand; even the people of the Pirate World were baffled.
Although they came from the same world, Yuichi's power was completely incomprehensible.
Did he eat a Devil Fruit that allows flight?
Despite the doubts, Yuichi was undeniably a warrior from the Pirate World. It was this mysterious power that made him feel even more formidable.
Shua~~ Shua~ Shua~~
Black Iron Sand, golden Gold Dust, and yellow desert sand.
Sands of three different colors floated in the air, forming a tri-colored ring that encircled Yuichi.
The Three Kage stared at him intently.
At this moment, countless people across two worlds held their breath, eyes glued to the massive light curtain in the sky.
Silence reigned.
The Three Kage vs. Yuichi!
Could three Kage-level fighters defeat this monster?
Even the people of the Ninja World were unsure. The astonishing scene from earlier still reverberated in their minds. Facing that terrifying momentum, the ninjas could not forget the fear they felt.
The man before them was like a mountain—an insurmountable peak.
The eerie silence lasted for ten seconds.
Yuichi frowned. "If you aren't going to make the first move, then I will!"
The moment those words were spoken, the Three Kage reacted with extreme speed.
In an instant, three streams of sand in different colors swept fiercely from three angles.
The fastest was the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand, which coalesced into massive black spikes in the air, stabbing straight toward Yuichi.
Magnet Style!
Yuichi snorted coldly in his heart.
Reiatsu gathered in his right hand as he gently gripped the handle of the Zanpakutō at his waist.
The blade was drawn!
A dazzling light burst from the scabbard.
Whoosh!! A sharp, thundering roar erupted instantly.
In a split second, the surging blade light penetrated the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand directly. The explosive iron spikes were instantly reduced to countless grains of black sand, scattering into the air.
The Third Kazekage's expression changed dramatically.
He stared at Yuichi, dumbfounded. The opponent disintegrated my attack with a single slash?
A full-force attack, yet the explosive power of the counter was on a completely crushing level!
How is this possible? How can his strength be so terrifying?
Gold Dust struck from below Yuichi. Due to its weight, Rasa kept the altitude of the Gold Dust relatively low, but its power could not be underestimated.
However, against Yuichi, it was met with another casual slash!
Reiatsu erupted suddenly along the Zanpakutō, forming a terrifying sword pressure that instantly broke through Rasa's Gold Dust wave.
Rasa looked at Yuichi with astonishment written all over his face.
Is this... the power of this kid?
It was several times more terrifying than he had imagined.
Gaara's sand followed closely from the front—the final strike!
The light of the blade was like a storm. Bang!!! Buzz!
It smashed Gaara's sandstorm apart.
In one second, he swung three times. The power of each slash was astonishing.
The combined assault of the Three Kage was easily dismantled by Yuichi.
As the light of the blade dissipated, sand rained down from the sky. The Kages' offensive had ended before it truly began.
Three rays of light bursting out simultaneously to annihilate the attacks left the audience speechless with shock. The spectators were so stunned they couldn't even exclaim.
Onoki looked down at Yuichi, who was slowly retracting his Zanpakutō, his expression choked. The corners of his eyes twitched on his wrinkled face.
"Easily blocking the attacks of the Three Kage... This guy is not on the same level as the Shichibukai from before! This battle... is going to be difficult!"
The scene of Yuichi blocking the combined attacks surprised even Sengoku.
"Are the attacks of those three... that weak?" Sengoku asked, sounding uncertain.
Garp rolled his eyes. Weak?
Doflamingo had tried his best against the Third Kazekage earlier and couldn't gain an advantage. The black Iron Sand possessed amazing defensive power, extreme speed, and terrifying offense, keeping Doflamingo at bay.
You call that weak?
This was obviously because Yuichi was too strong, making the opponents' attacks look weak.
Doflamingo's face was gloomy. Watching Yuichi in the sky, he knew best how strong the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand was. But in front of Yuichi, that black sand was as fragile as tofu, easily broken with a single cut.
Doflamingo couldn't understand. The blow just now didn't even have the fluctuation of Haki.
Why? Why can he break the Iron Sand so easily? Is his swordsmanship truly so profound that he doesn't even need Haki?
Below, Aokiji slowly lowered his raised hands, feeling helpless.
"It looks like you don't need my help at all!"
Yuichi looked at the Three Kage in front of him. The attack just now was merely a test of his Reiatsu's strength.
Compared to before, the difference was like heaven and earth.
After the density of his Reiatsu increased, the power of the slashes he unleashed was unexpectedly terrifying. Now Yuichi understood why Kenpachi Zaraki in Bleach liked to cut people with an unreleased Zanpakutō so much.
This terrifying Reiatsu was so powerful on its own that it didn't need any Shikai or Bankai. Just hacking away was enough.
Not to mention, the sensation of cutting when drawing the blade was truly satisfying.
Yuichi looked at the Three Kage and suddenly said, "You guys go find a way to take that big guy away! Leave these three to me!"
The Three Kage were stunned for a moment.
Below, the faces of the Shichibukai were a bit unhappy.
Aokiji didn't care, but Gecko Moria, who was pinned to the ground and couldn't move, was furious. Who is going to save me?!
They were all Shichibukai, and he was too embarrassed to cry for help, but he didn't expect that no one would care about him if he stayed silent.
A large amount of sand floated behind Gaara's open hand.
"To all Sand Shinobi guarding the One Tail! No matter the cost, we cannot let Shukaku be taken away by this group!"
"After we've dealt with this enemy, we'll find a way to help you. I leave Shukaku to you for the time being!"
Gaara's voice echoed over Sunagakure.
Although he was not the current Kazekage in this timeline, the Sand Shinobi suddenly became high-spirited.
"Yes!"
The Sand Shinobi answered in unison.
This was the power of a leader. Rasa felt a little strange at this moment; Gaara seemed to be more suitable for the title of Kazekage than he was. He never thought his son would become such an excellent ninja in the future.
Although the number of active Sand Shinobi had been reduced by more than half, the remaining force was actually stronger on average. The Genin had already lost the ability to fight or fallen into comas. All that remained were the Chunin and Jonin elites.
