Chapter 307: The War Begins

In the blink of an eye, the deadline Naruto had set arrived.

Within Hidden Stone Village, only the Iwa Ninja and the duo of Naruto and Hikari remained.

Once the time was up, both sides moved simultaneously.

"Earth Release: Golem Jutsu!"

Onoki did not hesitate for a second, his small frame erupting with an astonishing amount of Chakra.

With a low shout, countless rocks below rose up with a roar and flew in front of Onoki.

In an instant, those rocks condensed into a rock giant dozens of meters tall, composed entirely of dark brown stone!

The rock giant swung its massive stone fist, carrying an Aura that could crush everything as it punched toward Naruto and Hikari high in the sky.

Wherever the fist passed, the air let out a dull, explosive boom.

Almost at the exact same moment Onoki made his move!

Below, over a thousand elite Hidden Stone Village Ninja who had long been waiting in multiple formations launched a long-premeditated combination Ninjutsu under the command of Kitsuchi and other Jonin! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar!"

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

"Earth Release: Great Moving Earth Core!"

"Earth Release: Mountain Sandwich Technique!"

Earth-shaking roars resounded throughout Hidden Stone Village!

Every Iwa Ninja involved in the hand signs slammed their palms onto the ground or the rocks in front of them in unison after finishing their seals.

A massive amount of Earth-attribute Chakra poured into the ground like a flood!

Scalp-numbing loud noises echoed from all directions!

The ground beneath and to the sides of Naruto and Hikari’s hovering position underwent an earth-shattering transformation!

The earth trembled as countless rock pillars appeared, only to be shattered by the moving earth core and turned into soil gathered by the Great Moving Earth Core.

Next came the incredibly shocking "Mountain Sandwich Technique"!

The earth and stone seemed to be given life, rising and deforming wildly upward!

In just a few breaths, two hemispherical earth barriers with a radius of hundreds of meters, composed of a mixture of rock and soil, bore down with a terrifying force that could crush anything. Like two planets colliding, they rapidly closed in from the left and right toward Naruto and Hikari’s position!

This was a natural disaster-level Ninjutsu launched by over a thousand well-trained Iwa Ninja, concentrating their Chakra and will to the limit while utilizing the terrain.

Its scale was so vast, its speed so fast, and its containment so tight that it was enough to instantly squeeze and grind any individual trapped within into mincemeat.

It was as if they were collectively using a Chibaku Tensei.

Two distinct yet equally vast and terrifying Chakras erupted from Naruto and Hikari almost simultaneously!

On Naruto’s body, a dazzling golden Chakra, as fierce as the core of the sun, soared into the sky.

That wasn’t just Nine-Tailed Chakra; it also fused with his own massive Chakra, forming a layer of solid, leaping, and boiling golden flame cloak.

A powerful pressure swept out like a storm!

On Hikari’s body, deep and restrained crimson Chakra, as hot as a lava Hell, surged wildly.

With the support of Naruto’s Chakra, her Mangekyo Sharingan was pushed to its limit, the eerie patterns spinning rapidly. Blood-colored Chakra, like an erupting volcano, surged out of her body, quickly constructing and condensing around her!

The next second.

The two massive earth hemispheres, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, finally collided and closed firmly around the two of them! An earth-shattering boom erupted, enough to make the ground tremble and echo through the distant mountains.

Countless rocks crumbled, were squeezed, and fused under the immense pressure, forming a giant earth sphere hundreds of meters in diameter, its surface covered in jagged protrusions and cracks, looking like a small celestial body.

It completely swallowed and buried Naruto and Hikari, along with the light of their erupting Chakra, in the sky!

The earth sphere hovered motionlessly in the sky above Hidden Stone Village.

Only the "cracking" sound of internal rock compression and slight tremors could be heard, indicating that the terrifying pressure within was still persisting.

For a moment, the world seemed to fall silent.

Below, the Iwa Ninja maintaining the Ninjutsu output, their veins bulging and their Chakra heavily depleted, looked up at the giant earth sphere that seemed capable of suppressing everything. A sliver of hope and relaxation couldn’t help but rise in their hearts.

Did it work?

Being hit head-on by the Mountain Sandwich Technique, even a Jinchuriki couldn’t possibly be unharmed, right?

Maybe... they really suppressed them?

Even Onoki, who was controlling the Golem in the air and preparing for a follow-up blow, had a sharp glint flash in his eyes as he stared fixedly at the stationary giant earth sphere.

However, this relaxation and hope lasted for less than three seconds!

"Roar!"

A wild, berserk, and terrifying roar suddenly pierced through the rock barrier from the very core of the giant earth sphere, exploding between heaven and earth like a thunderclap!

Immediately after, the surface of the incredibly hard earth sphere, which condensed the power of a thousand Iwa Ninja, suddenly burst with countless giant spiderweb-like cracks.

Piercing golden light and crimson blood-light erupted madly from the cracks like a volcano that had been suppressed for billions of years!

Under the horrified gazes of the Iwa Ninja below, whose eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, and reflected in the suddenly constricted pupils of Onoki in the air...

The massive earth sphere was like an eggshell being forcibly shattered by an ancient beast born inside. From the very center, it was torn open, exploded, and crumbled by an unmatched, terrifying force.

Rocks flew through the air, and dust blotted out the sun.

And within those crumbling rocks and the sky-filling dust, two colossal figures, like gods and demons descending, suddenly appeared!

On the left was a Nine-Tailed beast nearly a hundred meters tall, its body covered in brilliant golden Chakra fur. Its nine mountain-sized tails danced wildly like a peacock’s fan. Its eyes burned with molten gold flames, and it radiated an Aura of destruction and tyranny.

It was Naruto in his Full Tailed Beast Mode.

On the right was a Perfect Susanoo, also nearly a hundred meters tall, composed entirely of highly condensed crimson Chakra. It wore ancient and majestic armor, held a massive Chakra longsword, and though its face was blurred, it carried a supreme majesty and murderous intent, with blood-colored flames burning in its eyes!

This was the Perfect Susanoo form manifested by Uchiha Hikari, pushing her Mangekyo ocular power to the limit and combining it with the Chakra transmitted by Naruto!

One gold and one red, one beast and one humanoid, the two giants landed on the ground side by side.

Rocks flew, and the earth shook!

The mere Chakra pressure and visual impact were enough to make most of the Iwa Ninja below lose their composure, their legs going weak, making it difficult to even maintain their hand signs!

The Full Tailed Beast Mode Nine-Tailed!

The Perfect Susanoo!

This was their true trump card!
