Puff! Puff! Puff!
Steel flashed again and again.
Slash after slash.
Yagami tore his way from beneath the tower straight into the rear ranks of the Sand shinobi.
One after another, Sand shinobi rushed forward to block him.
None succeeded.
Every single one who stood in his path was cut down—split cleanly in half without exception.
Broken bodies littered the ground.
Blood soaked into the earth.
Behind Yagami, a straight, crimson path had been carved through the battlefield.
"Faster! Faster!!"
Seeing Yagami closing in on the central army's position, the Sand shinobi who had abandoned the siege felt their hearts clench in panic.
If Yagami broke through—
With his speed, catching up to Ebizō would be only a matter of ti.
"Quick! Use combined ninjutsu! Stop him at all costs!!"
Pakura's pupils shrank as she watched Yagami charge forward like a demon.
Ebizō was not only the commander of this force—
He was one of Sunagakure's core military pillars.
If he were cut down here, it would be a devastating blow to the village.
Click! Click! Click!
Dozens of Sand shinobi in the central ranks rapidly lined up.
Hand seals ford in perfect synchronization.
"Wind Style: Barrage!"
"Fire Style: Fire Bomb!"
"Wind Style: God Follow!"
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!"
RUMBLE—!!
Fire fed the wind.
Wind amplified the fire.
Under the fusion of dozens of techniques, ordinary C- and B-rank ninjutsu underwent a qualitative transformation.
Flas surged tens of ters high and spread hundreds of ters wide.
A sea of fire rose like a tidal wave and crashed toward Yagami.
"Retreat!!"
The Sand shinobi closest to Yagami turned pale when they saw the incoming inferno.
This scale of ninjutsu would swallow everything in its path.
The only way to survive was to withdraw toward Kikyo Castle.
As the Sand shinobi fled, the space before Yagami was left completely open.
" Although not as good as Uchiha Madara's Majestic Destroyer Fla but this is still impressive."
Facing the overwhelming wall of flas, Yagami sighed in genuine admiration.
Yet he did not retreat.
Instead, he stomped the ground—
And charged straight into the inferno.
Chang—!
At the edge of the sea of fire, Yagami swung his blade.
A massive slash—over twenty ters high and several ters wide—roared forward.
RUMBLE—!!
The two forces collided head-on.
A monstrous sea of flas against a roaring blade.
Despite the difference in scale, Yagami's slash cleaved cleanly through the inferno.
A clear path was torn open within the firestorm.
Yagami kicked off the ground and surged forward.
Before the flas could close again, he followed his own slash and plunged straight through.
"This much… should stop him, right?"
Pakura stared at the blazing inferno.
As long as Yagami was halted here, the frontline could regroup and surround him completely.
BOOOOM!!!
Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from within the flas.
The next instant, a blade of light burst through the fire and tore straight toward the Sand shinobi formation.
Several shinobi who were still maintaining their jutsu were swallowed instantly.
Whoosh!
A figure followed the slash, bursting out of the firestorm.
"Yagami!!"
Horror rippled through the Sand shinobi.
They hadn't expected him to force his way through like this.
Before they could react—
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Three more fell beneath Yagami's blade.
"Disperse!!"
Pakura shouted sharply.
Above her head, a blazing sphere rapidly condensed—like a miniature sun.
She swung her arm forward.
The fireball hurtled straight toward Yagami.
"Scorch Style—Overwhelming Heat!!"
The Sand shinobi retreated in terror.
They knew all too well what this technique ant.
"Armant Haki—Emission!"
After cutting down another shinobi, Yagami looked up and saw the orange-red sphere descending.
A lethal sense of danger surged through him.
Advanced Armant Haki erupted outward.
An invisible armor enveloped his entire body.
The next mont...
BOOM!!!
The fireball detonated.
Within a radius of twenty to thirty ters, all moisture was instantly vaporized.
Trees withered.
Grass turned to ash.
Even the corpses on the ground rapidly dried, becoming shriveled husks.
Hiss—hiss—
Steam filled the air, completely obscuring vision.
"Did it work…?"
The surviving Sand shinobi stared toward the explosion site, holding their breath.
Before anyone could celebrate—
"What an incredible ninjutsu."
Yagami's calm voice echoed from within the mist.
Though Armant Haki had protected him, he could still feel the residual heat lingering on his skin.
The steam slowly dispersed.
Yagami erged.
The ground beneath him was scorched black.
The surrounding forest had been reduced to charcoal.
Yet aside from slightly reddened skin—
He stood unscathed.
"Unhard…!?"
Shock froze the Sand shinobi in place.
Even Pakura, who had unleashed the technique, stared in disbelief.
"Die!!"
One Sand shinobi, unable to accept reality, charged forward with a kunai.
Clang—!!
The sound of tal striking tal rang out.
The kunai stopped re centiters from Yagami's chest—blocked by an invisible barrier.
"What… is this!?"
The Sand shinobi's eyes widened as he slowly looked up.
Yagami stared back at him, expression cold and indifferent.
"…"
Yagami seized the man's arm with his left hand.
His right hand lifted the blade high.
