The sky was filled with metal blades, creating a sea of swords that blocked out the sunlight and cast shadows over much of the battlefield.
The Kumogakure shinobi were renowned for their proficiency with ninja swords. They combined them with Lightning Release to develop a unique combat style that was famous throughout the ninja world. Their forces had a considerable number of ninja swords.
Now, all these blades were under the control of Namikaze Mirai.
These swords turned against their owners, becoming deadly killing tools.
The Kumogakure shinobi realized the error of using metal weapons against Namikaze Mirai.
Dodai, the commander, watched the scene with bloodshot eyes.
He realized he had made a fatal mistake!
Stories of Namikaze Mirai’s battlefield domination were widespread during the Third Great Ninja War.
To counter his abilities, the Sunagakure forces even abandoned metal weapons, opting for bone and stone-crafted weapons despite a decrease in overall combat effectiveness.
Namikaze Mirai single-handedly regressed Sunagakure’s equipment to the primitive era.
All because of his terrifying Magnet Release!
Namikaze Mirai’s Magnet Release.
It defied logic!
Even the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, who also possessed Magnet Release, was like a child before Namikaze Mirai’s power.
In the Third Great Ninja War, Rasa’s gold dust was completely turned against him, surrounding Namikaze Mirai’s feet like he was the king of metals.
After the war, the severely impacted Fourth Kazekage suffered a mental breakdown, descending into madness.
The new Fifth Kazekage, Pakura, had to take over.
Dodai believed he had sufficiently estimated Namikaze Mirai’s abilities.
But he had still underestimated his terrifying power.
At this rate, the metal weapons rampaging on the battlefield alone would result in heavy casualties and bodies piling up.
It wasn’t just Dodai who realized this; Yugito Nii and Killer Bee also noticed the issue.
As perfect Jinchuriki, their reaction was swift.
Yugito Nii, fully transformed into the Two-Tails, opened her mouth. Accompanied by a sharp, rising sound, a highly concentrated chakra ball rapidly formed and expanded.
This sight made the surrounding Konoha shinobi’s scalps tingle, their hairs standing on end.
“A Tailed Beast Ball! It’s a Tailed Beast Ball!”
The Tailed Beast’s ultimate attack, capable of easily destroying a town!
The oppressive presence of the Tailed Beast Ball made the Konoha shinobi break out in cold sweats.
Uchiha Fugaku’s Mangekyo Sharingan showed signs of strain, his ocular power surging as he attempted to enter the next stage of Susanoo.
His vision blurred, and a wave of dizziness hit him.
“My ocular power is limited; I can’t waste it.”
He cautiously exited the Susanoo form.
The Mangekyo’s power had limits.
Overusing it could cause irreversible damage.
The earlier display against the Two-Tails should be enough to restore Uchiha’s honor.
The rest was up to Mirai.
He turned to look at Namikaze Mirai.
Others on the battlefield, including Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza, also turned their gaze towards Namikaze Mirai, their hearts tense.
The oppressive presence of the Tailed Beast Ball was overwhelming.
Even during its charging process, the air on the battlefield seemed to solidify, making it hard to breathe.
If Namikaze Mirai couldn’t stop the Tailed Beast Ball…
What would they do?
“It’s coming!”
In the midst of the extreme tension, Yamanaka Inoichi’s pupils trembled as he shouted hoarsely.
The Tailed Beast Ball, fully charged, blasted forth!
The ground was ripped apart, creating a massive trench as the enormous projectile roared towards the Konoha forces.
The Konoha shinobi sweated profusely, faces filled with despair.
The Two-Tails, releasing the Tailed Beast Ball, had a vicious gleam in its eyes.
It seemed to envision the Konoha forces being blown away.
Hahaha!
This is the fate of those who oppose a Tailed Beast!
Clang!
A crisp collision sound shattered the oppressive atmosphere of the battlefield.
The Two-Tails’ grin froze.
Just before the Tailed Beast Ball reached its target, a blue flash appeared. Namikaze Mirai stood before the Tailed Beast Ball, swinging his right hand with the back facing outwards.
Like swatting a ping-pong ball, he struck the Tailed Beast Ball, which was dozens of times larger than himself, sending it flying!
It arced through the air, landing far away on the plains.
In the stunned eyes of everyone.
A few moments later.
A deafening explosion echoed, and a massive mushroom cloud rose in the distance, shaking the battlefield as the shockwave blew across the shinobi’s faces.
Silence!
Deathly silence!
Both the Two-Tails and the Konoha shinobi like Yamanaka Inoichi and Uchiha Fugaku stared in disbelief at the golden-haired figure, whose hair fluttered in the wind.
Was that really a Tailed Beast Ball???
An attack capable of leveling a town?!
Namikaze Mirai had simply swatted it away???
The Konoha shinobi, who had just brushed past death, were filled with a sense of surreal confusion.
Namikaze Mirai’s nonchalant swatting of the Tailed Beast Ball gave them the illusion.
As if it wasn’t a Tailed Beast Ball.
But rather a mere ball!
Namikaze Mirai, the center of everyone’s gaze, calmly lowered his arm.
Only he knew that swatting away the Tailed Beast Ball looked easy, but in truth, it was not difficult!
Concentrating all his power at one point, calculating the Tailed Beast Ball’s trajectory, and perfectly timing his strike.
Then adding a tiny bit of finesse…
First like this, then like that, yes, just like that.
Uchiha Madara could play with the Nine-Tails’ Tailed Beast Ball like a ball.
So it was naturally easy for him to bat away the Two-Tails’ Tailed Beast Ball, which was ranked lower among the Tailed Beasts.
The Kumogakure shinobi looked at the golden-haired figure standing in the center of the battlefield, and a deep sense of fear spread among them.
The scene of Namikaze Mirai swatting away the Tailed Beast Ball was too shocking, perfectly timed as the Tailed Beast Ball approached, like a god descending.
Amidst the wavering morale, many Kumogakure shinobi began to harbor thoughts of retreat.
Namikaze Mirai’s golden-haired figure had left an indelible impression on their minds!
This scene was also seen by Dodai.
The Tailed Beast Ball being deflected was a minor issue; the real problem was the plummeting morale!
With the Kumogakure forces in such a low state, continuing the battle would result in heavy, unestimable losses.
“Retreat!”
With a heavy heart, Dodai ordered the retreat.
As he gazed at Namikaze Mirai, standing tall in the battlefield, his eyes filled with even greater hatred.
He had thought that the Jinchuriki’s support would turn the tide.
But instead, Namikaze Mirai had exploited it.
Using the dramatic deflection of the Tailed Beast Ball to crush the Kumogakure shinobi’s morale.
Continuing to fight would be meaningless.
The Eight-Tails had not yet fully engaged; waiting for the right moment would be a better choice.
Noticing the Kumogakure forces retreating, the Konoha shinobi looked at the golden-haired figure standing in the battlefield.
It was as if a flame had been ignited in their hearts.
A thunderous cheer of excitement echoed across the battlefield.
“The Blue Flash!”
“The Blue Flash!!”
