The earth trembled.
It wasn't just the Hokage Building.
The entire Konoha Village, and even areas far beyond anyone's imagination, experienced violent shaking at the sa ti.
"What's happening? An earthquake?"
The villagers of Konoha rushed out of their houses, looking around in panic and confusion.
Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the others quickly moved to the window to look outside.
Suddenly, Naruto sensed sothing. Pointing to the distant sky, he urgently shouted:
"Look over there!"
Just as Naruto spoke, a blinding aurora with a long trail of flas descended from the sky, flashing before everyone's eyes.
Just like before, the violent tremors ca again only monts later.
"That's... a teorite!!" Hiruzen's pupils contracted.
Orochimaru's golden, slit eyes stared unblinkingly at the sky. "It looks like it's not just one."
Sure enough.
A third teorite followed.
Then the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh.
Each teorite that ca down was nearly twice the size of the previous one.
A total of seven teorites descended from the heavens, all aid precisely at the sa location.
When the last teorite, carrying an unparalleled force, crashed into the earth...
Even from such a great distance, many houses in Konoha crumbled instantly. The damage elsewhere was even worse.
The sturdiest building, the Hokage's office, shook violently but managed to remain standing.
At this mont, Naruto looked at the vast area of Konoha that had turned into rubble outside the window and clenched his fists tightly.
Fortunately, the earthquake's intensity gradually increased, allowing villagers to evacuate before it beca too destructive, resulting in minimal casualties.
Naruto, who was well aware of what a Six Paths-level battle looked like, quickly spoke up:
"Gensou and Kaguya, along with the Sage of Six Paths, have already started fighting!"
Jiraiya's eyes widened as he looked at the devastation of the village, unable to stop himself from gasping:
"Just the shockwaves from their battle caused this much destruction? If they were fighting directly above the village..."
The re thought sent chills down his spine.
Hiruzen's hands trembled uncontrollably.
According to Naruto's earlier description, if Six Paths-level beings didn't restrain themselves, they could continuously battle across the entire planet in a short ti.
Now, with dazzling chakra light illuminating the distant sky, Hiruzen took a deep breath and quickly summoned all the Konoha ninjas within the building. He ordered them to evacuate all the villagers and advised them not to stay in Konoha for the ti being.
Then, he turned to Naruto and the others and said:
"It may be futile, but we have to buy ti for the villagers to evacuate. It's best if Gensou and the others don't co here. But if they do, all we can do is fight with everything we have!"
"Then let's get moving! We can't let Gensou and the others underestimate Konoha's ninjas!" Naruto raised his fist, his determination unwavering.
Tsunade nodded, "I'll go take a look as well."
Even now, she couldn't understand how the harmless-looking Gensou she had t earlier could turn so ferocious after leaving for just a short ti.
Beside them, the Heavenly Commandnt of Fate's power had expired, and Kurama had already returned to the sealing space within Kushina, both actively and forcibly.
Neither Kushina nor Minato had any objections.
Even if this journey ant certain death, they would still go for the sake of Konoha.
Jiraiya was ready to fight without a word.
As for Orochimaru, deep down he had no intention of going.
But seeing everyone else making the sa choice, and being curious to witness the pinnacle of the ninja world's power, he eventually nodded in agreent.
After entrusting the evacuation work to the two elderly Konoha advisors, Hiruzen led a group of elites out of the village.
On the way, they happened to catch Danzo and several Root ninjas secretly trying to flee.
Without hesitation, Hiruzen invoked his authority as Hokage to forcefully recruit Danzo and his n, making them contribute to Konoha's defense.
Danzo could only grit his teeth and follow along with a dark expression.
Thus, the Konoha Sightseeing Group set out.
Before the Konoha group had even been ford, the Iwa-nin Sightseeing Group had already set off toward the Rock Severing Mountain Range, trying to figure out what was going on.
But they got too close and were instantly reduced by more than half.
Barely escaping with his life, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, hovered in mid-air, looking at the trio battling furiously in the distance. His expression was a mix of horror and regret.
"How could there be such people in this world?"
"Could the information from the Third Hokage really be true?"
When Onoki had first received Hiruzen's warning about terrifying beings from another world, he had scoffed at it, thinking Hiruzen had gone senile and was making up stories to keep Konoha out of the conflict.
Now, he could see it with his own eyes.
But the cost of believing it was too high.
Looking at the heavily injured and slain Iwa-nin elites around him, Onoki clenched his fists and gazed once more at the three figures already far beyond the Rock Severing Mountain Range.
"So, those two... are Gensou and the legendary Chakra Ancestor, Kaguya. And the other... if I'm not mistaken, that's Uchiha Madara!!"
Wasn't Uchiha Madara supposed to be long dead?
How could he appear here and even beco so powerful?
Yet even so, even when teaming up with Kaguya, he was still falling behind against Gensou.
"There's always a higher mountain..."
Onoki muttered to himself, feeling a deep sense of helplessness. He dared not follow them any further.
The battle between Gensou, Kaguya, and Uchiha Madara continued.
Since Madara had no interest in the outside world and only wanted to defeat Gensou, the battle wasn't restricted to a single location like the desert of the original world. Instead, their battlefield rapidly expanded across miles, practically turning the entire planet into their arena.
Seeing that his alliance with Kaguya had not only failed to subdue Gensou but had resulted in several Limbo clones being shattered by Gensou's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, Madara suddenly raised his head and his Rinnegan shone.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
Through the Rinnegan's gravitational pull, a genuine teorite descended from the sky, covering a radius of several kiloters as it aid straight for Gensou.
The disturbance was so massive that space itself warped.
Techniques like Yomi Hirasaka could not be used temporarily.
But Madara was far from finished.
His Rinnegan pulsed again and again.
One teorite, two, three...
A total of seven increasingly larger teorites, aligned like a string of seven stars, smashed toward Gensou with apocalyptic force.
In so ways, the Sage of Six Paths had chosen his pawn quite well.
Techniques like Limbo: Border Jail and Chibaku Tensei were unaffected by the Deity Gates of the Great Sun, effectively countering Gensou.
However, that was only one side of the story.
