"Take this!"
Tobirama pushed off with his right foot, launching himself into the air. His arm snapped forward, and the kunai wrapped in flowing water shot toward Akainu like a streak of light.
Akainu frowned as Tobirama's Water Release techniques came one after another, relentlessly pressing him back.
"You really like playing with water, don't you?" he sneered.
Although the Water Blade Slash looked plain—almost unimpressive—the Third Hokage's expression darkened. He already understood Tobirama's true intent.
Akainu didn't hesitate.
He used Moonwalk again, instantly pulling away from the incoming kunai.
His right arm transformed once more. Magma surged violently, black smoke thickening as his arm visibly swelled with power.
"Great Eruption!"
Akainu roared.
A magma fist larger than an elephant tore through the air and slammed straight into the kunai.
BOOM!!!
The entire reef shook violently.
Cracks spiderwebbed across the ground, spreading outward without stopping. Flying rocks didn't even have time to fall before they melted into molten slag.
A scorching shockwave swept across the battlefield, blasting debris straight into the sea.
Pirate World
Confusion spread.
Why would Akainu waste such a massive attack on a single kunai?
But Mihawk's eyes narrowed.
Crocodile wore the same sharp expression.
Akainu wasn't reckless.
If he used that much power—
It meant the kunai itself was dangerous.
Bleach World
Yamamoto spoke calmly.
"His destructive power is impressive… but how does it compare to Ryūjin Jakka?"
Kenpachi grinned wildly.
"Now this is a fight worth watching."
One-Punch Man World
King swallowed and forced himself to stay calm.
"…He's strong. Probably A-Class level."
Black Sperm frowned.
"If that attack hit me directly… would even a single cell survive?"
For the first time, uncertainty crept in.
Naruto World
Lee clenched his fists.
"I didn't expect Red Dog to have an attack like that… Only Guy-sensei could survive it."
Naruto stared at the smoking battlefield, his throat dry.
That punch felt uncomfortably close to Whitebeard's level of destruction.
The smoke slowly cleared.
In the massive crater left behind, Tobirama's body lay motionless.
"What?!"Chōji gasped. "Did Lord Second just lose?!"
Civilians froze.
Some dropped what they were holding.
This was the man who once ruled the ninja world alongside Hashirama and Madara.
Yet—
Akainu showed no triumph.
Instead, his eyes scanned the battlefield carefully.
"…As expected," a voice said calmly from behind him."You still noticed."
Akainu instantly flashed to the side, turning sharply.
At the same moment—
Poof.
The Tobirama in the crater vanished into smoke.
The Third Hokage spoke gravely.
"The situation just now was this: Lord Second marked the kunai with Flying Thunder God. His plan was to use a clone to teleport instantly behind Akainu and mark him."
He paused.
"But Akainu destroyed the kunai directly. He sensed something was wrong."
Akainu exhaled slowly.
"I knew it. You expected me to dodge—but still attacked. That meant there was a trap."
He fixed his gaze on Tobirama.
"I don't know what you call that teleportation trick… but I've already figured it out."
Across the multiverse, hearts tightened.
Dragon Ball World
Piccolo nodded.
"These two aren't just powerful. Their combat experience is extraordinary."
Tobirama raised his hands, index and middle fingers extended.
His eyes locked onto Akainu.
"Bringer-of-Darkness Technique."
Instantly—
Akainu's body stiffened.
The world vanished.
No light.No color.Nothing.
He was swallowed by absolute darkness.
He froze, muscles tensing as panic surged.
I can't see anything.
He didn't dare move recklessly.
Then—
Pain.
Akainu suddenly felt an attack strike him. He raised his arms instinctively to protect his head, stumbling backward.
To everyone watching—
He looked like a madman.
Running. Dodging. Flailing.
"Why is he doing that?""Tobirama's right in front of him!"
No one answered.
Hashirama, who knew this technique well, remained silent.
Marineford
Sengoku frowned deeply.
"Akainu, what's wrong?!"
Tsuru spoke quietly.
"He's likely been caught in one of Tobirama's techniques."
"A mental attack?"
Kizaru sipped his tea.
"He got hit even while being careful… now all we can do is watch."
Bleach World
Aizen smiled faintly.
"So it's genjutsu."
He observed Akainu's erratic movements.
"To plunge someone into complete darkness… a rather effective illusion."
Interesting—but not shocking.
Sengoku shouted again.
"Akainu! Wake up!"
Garp shook his head.
"No point yelling. He can't hear you."
All eyes returned to the battlefield—
Where Tobirama stood calmly in the shadows.
And Akainu—
Was completely blind.
The turning point of the battle had arrived.
