Terrifying.
Utterly terrifying.
The moment Urashiki and Kinshiki stopped holding back, the air over the entire Land of Wind seemed to quiver.
Countless shinobi and civilians across the country had no idea what was happening. They only felt a violent ringing explode in their heads before their bodies locked up and their minds went blank.
Then came the sound of bodies hitting the ground.
A few seconds later, without warning, people across the Land of Wind began dropping one after another like cut wheat. Shinobi. Civilians. All of them collapsed where they stood, overwhelmed by the pressure pouring off Urashiki and Kinshiki.
Even the Queen of Loran, Princess Sara, and the ministers of Ancient Loran couldn't hold on. Their bodies shook once, then they slumped unconscious to the ground.
"What… what terrifying pressure…"
"Who's releasing something like this from the Land of Wind?"
"This aura is enough to make your scalp go numb. The whole ninja world must have felt it…"
Chiyo, Ebizō, and the other stronger shinobi of Sunagakure managed to stay conscious, but their faces had already gone pale. One after another, they looked toward Loran, unable to hide the shock in their voices.
And it wasn't only them.
In the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Water, every shinobi with enough strength felt that distant, dreadful pressure rolling out of the desert.
The entire ninja world stirred.
Ōnoki's expression darkened.
A looked up in silence.
Terumi Mei's eyes turned grave.
In that instant, every major force in the world realized the same thing—
something terrifying had appeared in the Land of Wind.
Hidden inside a secret base somewhere in the ninja world, Madara, the masked Obito, Black Zetsu, and White Zetsu all wore ugly expressions.
They could tell at once that those two surging auras did not belong to Uchiha Ren.
"If I'm not mistaken, they've gone to the Land of Wind."
Madara drew a slow breath, his tone low and heavy.
"And Uchiha Ren is in the Land of Wind too. Looks like the fight is about to start."
"So it really begins?"
Obito frowned, unable to hide his confusion.
"Who are these people? For their aura to be this monstrous…"
"I don't know."
Madara answered cleanly, with no embellishment.
There was nothing else to say.
The state of the ninja world had already slipped completely beyond his original control. At this point, all he could do was respond to events as they came.
More importantly, if his senses were correct, both of those newcomers were Six Paths–level existences.
Two.
Even Madara, arrogant as he was, found that hard to ignore.
Six Paths-level fighters were supposed to stand at the absolute peak of power in the ninja world.
Yet now they were appearing one after another, as if that realm had suddenly become crowded.
Obito lowered his eyes and let out a quiet breath.
The revolution was far from finished. For now, he still had to keep playing the obedient subordinate beside Madara.
"The Ōtsutsuki main family is about to fight the Fifth Hokage."
Black Zetsu's face never changed, but inside, his thoughts were in complete chaos.
He truly hadn't expected his two brothers—Hagoromo and Hamura—to go this far.
They had actually lured the main family to Earth, all so they could let them clash with Uchiha Ren and then step in afterward to seize the spoils.
That alone was vicious enough.
What confused him even more was the Ten-Tails aura.
Rōshi was still in Iwagakure.
The Gedo Statue was still with Madara.
By all logic, Uchiha Ren had no way to revive the Ten-Tails.
So where in the world was that aura coming from?
The more he thought about it, the worse it got.
For the first time in a long while, even Black Zetsu felt the ninja world pushing back against him.
"We watch."
In the end, Madara steadied himself and slowly clenched his fist.
His voice was cold, but there was frustration buried underneath it.
"This still isn't the right moment for us to move."
"Understood."
Obito, Black Zetsu, and White Zetsu all nodded.
No one objected.
No one had any better option.
At the same time, in Ancient Loran—
"So this is all the pressure those rejects from the Ōtsutsuki main family can manage?"
Ren rolled his shoulders and spoke as casually as if he were commenting on the weather.
"Let me show you what real pressure feels like."
The next second, his Conqueror's Haki erupted.
No flourish.
No warning.
It simply exploded outward.
Now that Ren had stepped into the Six Paths realm, even he no longer had a precise sense of how far his Conqueror's Haki had evolved.
But the result spoke for itself.
The instant it spread, space itself split with visible cracks, jagged lines spreading through the air like shattered glass.
And that was only the beginning.
Before Urashiki and Kinshiki could even process what was happening, the overwhelming pressure they had unleashed was smashed apart head-on. Not resisted. Not stalled.
Crushed.
Swept away.
Shattered with brutal ease.
Urashiki's face changed first.
Kinshiki's changed next.
Both of them immediately became alert, staring at Ren as if they had just seen something completely impossible.
"How is that possible?"
"What a monstrous pressure…!"
For the first time since arriving on Earth, the smugness in their eyes was gone.
Only shock remained.
