Seven days later, on the border of the Bear Kingdom, on a plain.

This place was originally a fertile farmland, but now it has become a battlefield where two armies are facing off.

The allied forces of the four great ninja villages covered half the plain, their banners fluttering and their killing intent soaring to the sky. The flags of Konoha, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and a small number of Kirigakure rebels fluttered in the wind. The total strength exceeded 80,000, making it the largest allied force in the history of the ninja world.

On the other side, there was only one person.

Sheng Ren hovered in mid-air, his white robe fluttering in the wind, his long hair casually tied back. He had no wings on his back, no weapon in his hand, he simply stood there calmly, yet he seemed like an insurmountable mountain.

Four figures stood side by side in front of the allied forces.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Onoki, A, and Rasa all wore extremely solemn expressions.

Behind them were the elites of each village: Kakashi, Might Guy, Jiraiya, Roshi, Yotsuchi, Killer Bee, Maki... Almost all the Kage-level and near-Kage-level powerhouses who could still fight were present.

This is the most luxurious lineup in the history of the ninja world, but facing that lone boy, not one of them has the confidence to win.

"He really...is all alone?" Rosa's voice trembled slightly.

"Intelligence indicates that the Yuhua Immortal Sect's 30,000-strong army is escorting the villagers towards the Land of Water. He is indeed the only one here," Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice.

"Arrogant!" Ai gritted his teeth. "This is the greatest humiliation we could ever hope for!"

Onoki didn't speak, but stared intently at Morihito, his eyes filled with apprehension.

The scene from three days ago was still vivid in his mind: Dust Release was easily broken, and Ai was sent flying with a single blow. This kind of strength had exceeded his comprehension.

"Everyone," Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, "this battle concerns the future of the ninja world, and we must go all out. According to the plan, during the main attack, I, Onoki, and A will hold him off from the front, while Rasa and the others will provide support from the flanks. We must force him to use his full strength and find a weakness."

"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.

Sheng Ren looked at the allied forces opposite him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The day has finally come."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire battlefield.

"Gentlemen, this is your last chance. Bow your heads now, and you will become the creators of a new world. Do not remain stubborn." As the words fell, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

The 80,000-strong allied army, facing a lone boy, did not send a single soldier to make a move.

The air was thick with an oppressive atmosphere, like the calm before a storm.

A's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and lightning chakra flickered wildly across his body, but he didn't rush out. The lesson from three days ago was still fresh in his mind; a rash attack would only bring humiliation.

Onoki hovered in mid-air, his hands already formed a hand seal, but he hesitated to release them. He was waiting, waiting for the perfect moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Since you insist on this, then we have no choice but to..."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly rushed out from the allied forces.

"The Azure Beast of Konoha, reporting for duty!"

Might Guy, like a green whirlwind, hurtled towards Mori. He didn't use ninjutsu, but rather the ultimate form of taijutsu—the Eight Gates, the Sixth Gate, the Gate of View, opened!

"The Morning Peacock!"

Countless fist shadows transformed into blazing flames, as dazzling as a peacock spreading its tail, yet containing terrifying destructive power. This was one of Kai's signature techniques, using ultra-high-speed punches to generate flames through friction with the air; each punch was enough to shatter rocks.

Faced with this sudden attack, a hint of appreciation flashed in Sheng Ren's eyes.

"Not bad physical skills."

He simply raised his hand slightly, his five fingers spread, to meet the barrage of fists.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The resounding explosions of fists colliding with palms were incessant, flames bursting in front of Sheng Ren's palms, yet unable to break through the invisible barrier. Kai's speed was extreme, but in Sheng Ren's eyes, the trajectory of each punch was clearly visible.

In three seconds, Kai unleashed hundreds of punches.

Then, he abruptly retreated, landing back on the ground, panting heavily. Opening six gates had put a tremendous strain on his body, but that last round of attacks hadn't even touched the hem of his opponent's clothes.

"How is this possible..." Kai stared at his fist in shock.

"Speed ​​is fast enough, strength is strong enough, but there's room for improvement in technique," Sheng Ren commented. "Open the Eight Gates, let me see the power of the Eight Gates Formation."

Kai's eyes lit up: "The Eighth Gate... the Gate of Death? Okay! Then I'll—"

"Kai!" Kakashi quickly grabbed him. "Don't be impulsive! Now is not the time to risk your life!"

Just then, Onoki finally moved.

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"

A white cube instantly materialized, this time not to attack Sheng Ren, but to completely seal off the space around him. The cube rapidly contracted, attempting to trap Sheng Ren within it.

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi formed hand seals:

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

The Third Hokage simultaneously unleashed ninjutsu of three elemental attributes: fire, earth, and wind. The fire dragon, carrying earth and rocks, was amplified in power by the force of the gale.

Ai roared, and lightning surged from his body:

"Lightning Release: Lightning Torture Horizontal Dance!"

Countless bolts of lightning transformed into a dense electric net, striking Shengren from another direction. This time, he didn't engage in close combat, but instead chose to attack from a distance, attempting to coordinate with Onoki and Hiruzen Sarutobi to form a three-way attack.

Three Kage-level powerhouses attacked simultaneously, with three different elemental ninjutsu coming from three directions. In addition, Onoki's Dust Release sealed off the space, creating a deadly situation!

Faced with this devastating attack, Sheng Ren simply sighed softly.

Why bother?

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a pair of pale golden wings slowly emerged behind him, fluttering gently and creating strange ripples.

"Immortal Technique - Void Yin Yang - Return to Nothingness"

The ultimate technique reappeared. An invisible wave spread out from Sheng Ren, and wherever it passed, all ninjutsu began to distort, disintegrate, and dissipate.

The fire dragon extinguished, the earth dragon disintegrated, the gale subsided, the lightning net shattered, and even the white cube of Dust Release began to disintegrate, eventually turning into specks of light and disappearing.

It was that same move again; the combined attack of the three Kage-level powerhouses was easily neutralized.

The allied forces were deathly silent.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi wore an expression of disbelief. His attack just now had used his full power; a combined ninjutsu using three elemental attributes, powerful enough to destroy a small mountain, yet now…

"What is this? Can ninjutsu really do all this?" Onoki murmured.

"How can one comprehend the vastness of heaven and earth by looking at the moon from within a well?" Sheng Ren said calmly. "I have said before, I did not come here to kill. I am here to give you a chance to change the ninja world."

He descended slowly, his feet touching the ground, and the illusory wings on his back retracted.

Ai gritted his teeth and said, "I would rather die fighting than surrender! Today, there will only be fallen Thunder Shadows, not cowards who surrender!"

The Raikage's words were like a match thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the suppressed morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"We'd rather die fighting than surrender!"

"For the sake of the ninja village!"

"For everything we've protected!"

Roars, shouts, and howls swept across the battlefield like a tsunami. The 80,000-strong allied army, suppressed for days, erupted completely, ignited by Ai's single sentence!

Chakra bursts erupted everywhere, and countless ninjas, their eyes bloodshot and ready to die, unleashed their full power and knowledge upon the white-clad youth in the center of the arena.

Fire Release, Water Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Earth Release—five-colored lights intertwined like a rainbow; kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, puppets, poison mist—thousands of killing techniques rained down. The air throughout the plain seemed to be burning and boiling, even the clouds in the sky were churning and swirling from the violent energy fluctuations below.

Faced with this devastating combined attack, Sheng Ren finally moved, shooting towards the crowd like a long-awaited arrow:

"Since words are useless, then I can only make you understand through force!"
