The Fourth Raikage, A, stared at the white giant that had risen from the earth before him, his expression incredibly grave.
The giant's height was almost on par with the Eight-Tails, Gyuki, standing beside him.
Its body, composed purely of energy, emitted a bluish-white glow under the night sky, casting a pallid light upon the earth.
"What is this thing?"
A's mind was in turmoil.
Since when had the Hyuga Clan of Konoha developed such a Ninjutsu?
"Hmph!"
Gyuki beside him snorted two heavy breaths from its nostrils.
"It's just an empty shell piled up with Chakra."
"Watch me smash it to pieces with one punch!"
On the other side.
Minato Namikaze looked up, his golden hair fluttering slightly in the energy currents.
He gazed at the white giant enveloping Aokawa, his face full of astonishment.
"Is this... the 'Gundam' you mentioned?"
From within the giant's skull, Aokawa's voice transmitted out through the vibrations of reishi.
It carried a strange resonance.
"My technique is called Ran Sō Ten Ki."
"Since it's called 'Ten Ki' (Heavenly Puppet), it's only normal for it to be big, right?"
His words held a trace of amusement.
After the Spirit Dissolving Gloves were undone, the body forcibly absorbed the surrounding reishi, almost eliminating the need to consider an energy source.
However, the body's absorption had an upper limit. Once it far exceeded this limit, one would permanently lose their Quincy abilities.
He could already feel that the Quincy's final form wouldn't last much longer; his body was already in peril under this immense strain.
Therefore, if he could expend the reishi as much as possible, it would greatly reduce the burden on his body and slightly extend the duration of the final form.
Moreover, the Quincy's final form was essentially a one-time experience card for the Vollständig from the Thousand-Year Blood War arc.
Once activated, reishi control would reach an unprecedented level, with all surrounding reishi becoming his absolute subordinates.
So, combining these two factors, and with the Eight-Tails present, activating the 'Gundam' was the optimal choice, and it also fulfilled his wish to pilot one.
On the other side, A and Gyuki quickly finished their exchange.
A's gaze locked onto Minato Namikaze.
"Leave that blond-haired one to me!"
"Eight-Tails, you deal with that big white guy!"
Gyuki let out a roar in response.
It couldn't wait.
It wanted to completely tear apart that white giant who dared to challenge it!
However.
Aokawa moved first!
BOOM!
The earth beneath the white giant's feet cracked, yet its massive frame erupted with astonishing speed!
The huge energy spear in its hand swept towards Gyuki's midsection, trailing a white arc that tore through the air!
Gyuki's pupils contracted.
It abruptly lowered its body, the giant spear sweeping past just above its head.
BOOM!
The spear missed, smashing into the ground in the distance.
