Without even thinking, A immediately activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and charged toward Sakumo, who was still harvesting Kumogakure ninja.
"BOOM!"
The next moment, a rainbow-colored beam blasted directly into the path ahead of him.
A nearly got hit head-on.
Although A managed to evade using his terrifying speed, he was still forced to halt and glare furiously toward Akira high in the sky.
"You brat! You're courting death!"
As he roared, the ground beneath his feet exploded apart.
His entire body shot upward toward Akira, who floated over thirty meters in the air.
Akira sneered coldly.
With a thought, his body instantly shifted several meters sideways.
At the same time, he drew the chakra long blade from his waist.
Armament Haki instantly covered the blade, dyeing it black.
Immediately afterward, Conqueror's Haki wrapped around it as well, staining the blade dark crimson while arcs of dark red lightning crackled around it.
"Slash!"
Having already predicted A's flight path, Akira suddenly swung his blade downward.
"SHRRRK!"
A dark crimson slash burst outward.
In the blink of an eye, it struck A directly.
The slash instantly shattered A's Lightning Armor before cutting straight into his body.
A long, horrifying wound instantly appeared across A's chest.
Blood sprayed everywhere, dyeing his clothes crimson almost instantly.
At the same time, A stared downward at his shattered Lightning Armor and the horrifying wound across his chest in utter disbelief.
The slash was deep enough to expose bone, and even his ribs had been mostly split apart.
Not only had his defense been broken—
He had actually been wounded this severely in a single strike.
Most terrifying of all, he could clearly feel a strange power lingering around the wound that prevented it from clotting and healing.
Who exactly was this brat?!
Of course, A had no time to think further.
After suffering such severe injuries and continuously losing blood, weakness rapidly overtook him.
His instinct immediately screamed at him to retreat.
"BIG BROTHER!!"
At this moment, Killer B—still in complete Eight-Tails form—saw A injured and immediately charged over.
Akira merely smiled lightly.
"Moonwalk!"
Combining Moonwalk with Shave alongside telekinetic flight acceleration, Akira instantly tore across the sky and appeared directly in front of A.
His right fist swung out.
Armament Haki coated it completely while white light wrapped around the fist.
Then—
He smashed it directly into A's face.
"BOOOOOOM!!!"
The air around A's head instantly shattered apart.
His Lightning Armor collapsed immediately.
A's face—and even his entire head—seemed to twist violently under the impact.
Skin burst open.
Blood exploded outward.
Then A himself was blasted away like a cannonball, crashing directly into the charging Eight-Tails-form Killer B.
The impact smashed both of them straight down from the sky and into the ground below.
A gigantic crater exploded outward.
A could no longer hold on.
He instantly lost consciousness.
"BIG BROTHER!!"
Killer B shouted in alarm before glaring hatefully toward Akira in the sky.
"B! Retreat!!"
At that moment, Yugito suddenly shouted urgently.
From the moment Akira and Sakumo arrived until now, barely more than ten breaths had passed.
Yet the battlefield situation had already reversed completely.
Sakumo and Minato had already begun using their terrifying speed to frantically slaughter Kumogakure ninja.
Meanwhile, A had been instantly critically wounded by the brat in the sky and was now hovering between life and death.
Yugito was genuinely afraid.
"B! Withdraw first! Your brother's condition is bad! The wound isn't stopping bleeding. If this continues, he might actually bleed to death!"
At the same time, the Eight-Tails also spoke gravely inside Killer B's mind.
"And don't underestimate that brat. Even I can sense an aura from him that makes me uneasy."
That was the truly strange part.
No matter how he looked at it, Akira was only a kid barely over ten years old.
(Thanks to body tempering, Akira's growth was faster than normal, so he looked slightly older than his actual age.)
"What?! Big Brother he…?! Fine! We retreat!"
Only then did Killer B notice that A's wound truly showed no signs of stopping.
Blood was still continuously pouring out.
A's face was also becoming increasingly pale.
Killer B instantly panicked.
Using one tentacle to wrap around A, he immediately began retreating.
Akira could not be bothered chasing after them.
Seeing the entire Kumogakure army beginning to withdraw, how could he possibly let such a good opportunity pass?
"SHRRK! SHRRK! SHRRK!"
Immediately afterward, Akira fired Super Electromagnetic Cannons one after another with both hands.
The attacks directly smashed into the center of the retreating Kumogakure army.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Violent explosions erupted continuously.
Like missile bombardment, the retreat path of the Kumogakure forces was completely carpet-bombed.
"AAAAHHHH!!"
"Damn it!!"
"Run!!"
Large numbers of Kumogakure ninja were blasted high into the sky.
Those who were not instantly killed dragged their broken bodies across the ground while releasing despair-filled screams.
Akira felt absolutely no pity toward them.
These people were invaders.
They were the ones who had initiated war against the Land of Fire and Konoha.
Wasn't death exactly what they deserved?
"S-So strong…"
The Konoha ninja on the battlefield were completely stunned.
One after another, they stopped their pursuit and stared blankly upward at Akira.
At this moment, he looked like a descending god delivering judgment upon Kumogakure.
"So this is Konoha Thunder God Akira? Is he really only seven years old?"
"I heard he's almost eight now!"
"Ah… is there even a difference?"
"Konoha truly is fortunate to possess a genius like this!"
"We're saved! Akira-sama! Blow them all up! Kill them all and avenge our fallen comrades!"
"Hahaha! Damn Kumogakure bastards, you finally got what was coming to you! Now it's your turn to suffer!"
For a time, all the surviving Konoha ninja erupted into heated discussion.
More than anything, they were excited.
Only heaven knew what kind of hell they had endured over the past several days.
Now, all that suffering had finally passed.
And it was finally Kumogakure's turn to pay the price.
Watching the Kumogakure ninja either blasted into the sky or screaming on the ground with severed limbs, the Konoha ninja felt indescribably refreshed.
This felt even better than drinking ice-cold soda during the peak of summer.
Meanwhile, Sakumo and Minato had already stopped fighting and were quietly appreciating Akira's bombardment of the battlefield.
"Ahem…"
Minato looked thoroughly astonished.
"So this is the reason Akira was able to repel Kirigakure by himself and kill hundreds of Kirigakure ninja? Truly terrifying…"
It was difficult to imagine all this was being done by a child only seven or eight years old.
Sakumo smiled knowingly after hearing that.
"Yes… this child has truly exceeded everyone's expectations."
"Having him on our side is our fortune."
"With him here, this battlefield should stabilize completely… perhaps we can even achieve victory."
"Still, next we'll probably have to face the Third Raikage."
"That's not an easy opponent to deal with."
"I just wonder whether Akira has confidence facing him."
Unlike many others, Sakumo had not been blinded by temporary victory.
He remained extremely calm and rational.
