"Thirty Million Volts — Thunderbird!"
Just as Orochimaru rushed into the Sand shinobi ranks, Yagami was also in the middle of a massacre.
However, this time he didn't rush up and cut the enemy down with his sword like usual.
In this battle…
They needed to slaughter the Sand shinobi.
Then drive them straight out of the borders of the Land of Fire.
So the bigger the impact and the more terrifying the spectacle of the battle, the better.
Only then would it be truly deterrent.
"Zzzzt… zzzt…"
Electric currents crackled and gathered above Yagami's head.
In the blink of an eye, they condensed into the form of a giant bird of thunder.
Then it dropped down, hovering under Yagami's arm.
The Thunderbird spread its wings, then dived down, screaming toward the Sand shinobi.
"Boom! Rumble! Sizzle—!!"
"Uwaaaaahhh!!!"
Lightning moved faster than their eyes could track.
With a single blow—
More than a dozen Sand shinobi didn't even have time to dodge. Their formations were instantly thrown into chaos.
In just a few breaths…
Their screams grew weaker and weaker, and finally vanished altogether.
By the time it was over, more than a dozen Sand shinobi had already been charred pitch-black.
Smoke curled from their mouths and noses as they collapsed to the ground.
Obviously, none of them were breathing anymore.
"Laser Beam!"
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
"Rumble!!!"
Under full firepower, beams of light continuously fired from Yagami's index finger.
Explosions erupted all around him, one after another, overlapping in a constant chain of blasts.
The explosions caused by concentrated light were different from flames.
They didn't produce thick gunpowder smoke—
But their destructive power far surpassed it.
"Wind Release: Wind Blade!"
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"
Just as Yagami was firing lasers without restraint and carrying out a one-sided slaughter…
Several Sand shinobi gritted their teeth and rushed up at him from close range.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
The wind blades slashed straight through Yagami.
In an instant, his body was cut apart once again.
However, not a single Sand shinobi felt even a trace of satisfaction.
Because the sections of Yagami's body that had been sliced apart were radiating with a golden, otherworldly light.
"Ee~h, oh, how scary."
"I've been cut into several pieces by you again?"
Yagami deliberately imitated Kizaru's lazy tone.
The voice came from the head that had already fallen to the ground.
The Sand shinobi around him all sucked in a cold breath at the same time.
Their hearts pounded with horror, shivers running down their spines.
Yagami could have dodged, or simply blocked the attack outright.
But he hadn't done either.
Because he knew that letting them "kill" him like this…
Would only deepen the fear in the Sand shinobi's hearts.
"R-Run away!"
"Run away!!"
"This guy can't be killed!!"
For a few seconds, the battlefield fell eerily silent.
Then, the Sand shinobi nearby began to break one after another.
They couldn't beat him—and they couldn't kill him either.
That realization pushed them straight into despair.
If they kept fighting like this…
It would only create more meaningless corpses.
"Bzzzz…"
Seeing the Sand shinobi around him start to flee in panic, Yagami let his thoughts move.
The pieces of his body scattered across the ground began to glow, drawn toward each other as they reunited and merged.
In the blink of an eye, his body was completely restored, as if nothing had happened.
"Alright then… shall we start the show, ne~?"
"Try not to get vaporized in one shot."
Yagami drawled in that lazy Kizaru tone, like the whole battlefield was just a boring light show to him.
--
At the same time, the armies of Konoha and Sunagakure—
Finally collided with full force.
All kinds of ninjutsu were unleashed.
On the battlefield, techniques flew through the air in every direction, crashing into each other again and again.
The skies above the center of the battlefield were dyed with dazzling light, becoming almost disturbingly beautiful.
Although Yagami and Orochimaru were overwhelmingly strong…
The two of them still couldn't possibly cover every corner of such a huge battlefield.
After all, the total number of shinobi on both sides combined…
Was more than eight thousand.
Because of that, the range of this battle had already spread hundreds of meters in every direction.
"Tch…"
Turning his head, Yagami glanced at Orochimaru, who was still tangled up with Chiyo.
He could only shake his head helplessly.
Then he rushed straight toward the densest cluster of Sand shinobi.
At this moment, the Sand shinobi were locked in ninjutsu exchanges with the Konoha shinobi.
They didn't notice at all…
That Yagami had already broken away from the other battlefield and slipped around behind their lines.
"Whoosh!!"
After closing the distance—
Yagami's legs slammed into the ground.
In an instant, his body shot up into the sky.
"Lord Yagami!!"
"Lord Yagami!!"
The Konoha shinobi who had been trading ninjutsu with the Sand shinobi noticed immediately when Yagami soared up behind the enemy.
In fact, it would've been hard not to notice.
Because Yagami's entire body was blazing with golden light.
Like a second sun rising behind the Sand shinobi. As long as they weren't blind, there was no way they wouldn't see him.
"Nani!?"
"!!!"
Hearing the cries from the Konoha side, the Sand shinobi instinctively turned and looked behind them.
And then they saw it—Yagami, floating high in the sky, wrapped in a blinding golden radiance.
Every Sand shinobi felt a horrible sense of foreboding erupt in their chest.
Goosebumps raced across their skin, every hair on their bodies standing on end.
"Sayonara, little lambs of Sunagakure."
[Yasakani no Magatama!]
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
Dazzling golden light and violent arcs of electricity gathered in front of Yagami as he brought his hands together.
With a low shout, he suddenly thrust his arms wide.
Countless light bullets wreathed in lightning rained down like a storm.
The moment this ultimate move exploded, the entire horizon was dyed pure gold.
On the battlefield below, whether they were Sand shinobi or Konoha shinobi—
All eyes were drawn inexorably to that blinding light.
Even Orochimaru and Chiyo broke apart from their clash for an instant, leaping back to gain distance as they also looked up toward the sky.
"...!!!"
"...!!!"
Despair truly began at that moment.
All the Sand shinobi in front of Yagami were so terrified they couldn't even scream.
The golden light in the sky was so intense they couldn't open their eyes.
But they knew—every last one of them knew.
They were completely engulfed.
There was no way any of them could survive this.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"
Light bullets as dense as raindrops—
Continued to pour down from in front of Yagami.
The Sand shinobi in the front lines, and those packed directly beneath him, were completely swallowed in an instant.
When the light bullets struck the ground, they triggered violent, continuous photon explosions.
For a time…
The entire area where the Sand shinobi were positioned—
Was swallowed by the roaring sea of flames triggered by the photon blasts.
And because Yagami had fused thunder and lightning into the light bullets…
The whole zone where the Sand shinobi had been was now filled with blinding golden light and wildly dancing electric arcs that flashed and crackled without end.
