Chapter 80 The End of Konoha
Chapter 80 The End of Konoha
"Ha ha……"
Uchiha An watched the enormous meteorite hurtling down from the sky and laughed so hard his tongue was sticking out.
"Itachi, don't you love the village?"
"Now is the time to test you!"
"Please don't hide!"
"If you run away, the elderly, women, and children in the underground shelter won't survive!"
"Come on, quickly activate your Susanoo, get into position down there, and wait to catch the ball!"
"I won't keep you company any longer; I'll take my leave now!"
After saying that, Uchiha An laughed heartily and strode away.
The Uchiha clan members who had been buried under the ruins had now reassembled their Edo Tensei bodies, glared fiercely at Itachi and Fugaku, and then left with Anichi.
Faced with such a crisis that could destroy the village, Itachi and Fugaku were utterly despondent and had no intention of stopping him.
Humming a little tune, An skipped and hopped out of Konoha Village. Along the way, he would occasionally see groups of Konoha ninjas who were still alive and desperately trying to escape.
These people were all in a frenzy, like headless flies, fleeing for their lives while desperately seeking any remedy, and even starting to accuse each other indiscriminately.
"Where's the Hokage? Isn't he the strongest Hokage of all time? Hurry up and unleash a powerful ninjutsu to take that thing down!"
"Where are the Sannin? Where are Lady Tsunade and Lady Jiraiya? Why aren't they fighting?"
"Aren't we the strongest ninja village? How did we end up in such a predicament?"
"Who provoked such a powerful enemy?"
"Who can stop it?"
"Someone, please save us!"
Seeing the plight of the people of Konoha before their demise, An Xin felt a surge of satisfaction, but he was determined not to let them go, simply pointing a finger at them.
"Send some men to hold these people off!"
"As a ninja of Konoha, I must live and die with the village. How can I be a deserter?"
"Even we Uchiha didn't run away, so how could they?"
"It's not the Uchiha who are afraid of death!" The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha shouted and led several clansmen to rush over, using all his skills to block them.
An divided his forces along the way, sending all his clansmen away, and left Konoha Village alone.
Looking back, they saw that the huge meteorite had reached above the village, and below, all alone, was a brown Susanoo standing there, like a mantis with outstretched arms.
"Tsk tsk, what a pity, Itachi died here just like that. I still had so many ways to play that I hadn't used yet!"
Perhaps sensing An's regret, a roar rang out, and a large, fiery red fox suddenly appeared beside Susanoo, its eyes filled with kaleidoscope patterns.
"Holy crap! Itachi released the Nine-Tails!"
An Xin jumped, suddenly realizing that he had been having too much fun and had forgotten about the important matter of catching the Nine-Tailed Fox.
But the thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before An made peace with herself.
"Forget it, just forget about it!"
"Since Konoha is already finished, our objective has been achieved!"
"What does this Nine-Tails thing have to do with me?"
Seeing the huge meteorite getting closer and closer in the sky, An quickly turned around and ran, afraid that if he was too slow, he would be splattered with blood.
After the Nine-Tails appeared, it immediately raised its head and began to condense the Tailed Beast Ball.
A purplish-black chakra ball rapidly condensed and shot towards the giant meteorite in the sky.
The Tailed Beast Ball, like a shooting star moving in reverse, left a long energy trail as it crashed straight into the massive, sky-covering meteorite.
The moment the two destructive forces collided in mid-air, the world seemed to fall silent.
Immediately afterwards, a blinding white light burst forth, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were daytime.
The shockwave from the explosion spread in a spherical shape, completely tearing apart the clouds within a radius of several kilometers. The already riddled ground was ravaged once again, leaving it scarred and barren.
The energy of the Tailed Beast Ball frantically eroded the bottom of the meteorite, and the purplish-black chakra, like countless sharp blades, peeled away the hard rock layers one by one.
Amidst a teeth-grinding cracking sound, a giant crater was blasted into the bottom of the meteorite, and countless fragments melted into crimson magma in the high temperature, raining down like raindrops.
When the blinding light faded, people were horrified to find that the huge meteorite was still hanging perfectly intact overhead!
Although the bottom was blown beyond recognition, the overall structure remained intact.
The shockwave from the explosion caused the falling meteorite to pause slightly, indeed slowing its speed down a bit.
But it was only a few points!
Debris began to shatter from the meteorite's surface, raining down on the ground like fire. Each fragment triggered a small explosion upon impact, instantly engulfing the already devastated Konoha village in flames.
And that enormous meteorite continued to press down on the earth with unstoppable force!
"roar……"
Kurama roared in resentment, frantically gathering a second Tailed Beast Ball under Itachi's control, but everyone knew it was too late!
The meteorite, trailing a burning flame, continued its descent towards the earth.
Its massive shadow once again enveloped Konoha, and the oppressive feeling of death made everyone breathless.
"what……"
Itachi roared wildly, raising the arms of Susanoo high, and together with Kurama on the left and right, they used their bodies to meet the giant meteorite.
Both the Nine-Tails and Susanoo are enormous creatures, but they are still insignificant in the face of the massive meteorite brought by the Heavenly Meteor, with a size difference of at least several times.
The moment the base of the meteorite touched Susanoo's palm, a visible shockwave exploded from the point of contact. The chakra armor, under immense pressure, made a cracking sound, and fragments of chakra began to disintegrate from Susanoo's body, turning into powder and disappearing in mid-air.
"Ughhhhh...!"
Itachi roared desperately, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and the Mangekyou Sharingan in his Sharingan spun wildly.
Fugaku disregarded the cost and desperately poured his eye power into Itachi's eyes, hoping to hold on for just one more second or two.
Susanoo's feet sank deep into the ground, causing the rocky ground to sink like quicksand.
Spiderweb-like cracks have begun to appear on the chakra armor that was supposed to provide absolute defense, and brown energy fragments are scattering everywhere like snowflakes.
The Nine-Tails' situation was equally dire.
With its head tilted to the side and its teeth bared, it braced its scarred back against the meteorite, its nine tails digging nine deep furrows in the soil.
At the critical moment of life and death, it finally broke free from the control of the Mangekyou Sharingan, but this did not make its situation any better, as the huge meteorite still pressed firmly on its body.
"Damn Uchiha!"
Nine-Tailed Fox roared angrily, but its survival instinct forced it to continue enduring the power of the Heavenly Obstruction Star.
The behemoth's spine emitted a terrifying deforming sound, and its hind legs slammed to the ground with a "thud," creating two deep craters.
Its nine tails thrashed wildly, forcefully striking the meteorites on its body, but it could only watch as the meteorites crushed its body inch by inch.
With a crisp cracking sound, Susanoo's arms collapsed first, followed by its armor, then its muscles, and finally its bones.
After Susanoo completely turned into specks of light and disappeared, Itachi collapsed to his knees, utterly powerless, unable to even stand up.
"No……"
The Nine-Tails let out a roar of resentment, and then its head was completely crushed by a boulder weighing tens of thousands of tons. It turned into chakra powder in mid-air and dissipated into the air, leaving only Naruto Uzumaki's broken body.
The meteorite continued to sink, crushing Naruto and Itachi's bodies into a bloody pulp, burying them underground along with fragments of Susanoo.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the celestial meteor completed its slaughter, leaving behind only a crater a kilometer in diameter and a stream of blood slowly seeping from the bottom of the crater.
