Chapter 150 - Gran Rey Cero

After eating the souls and Chakra of the ninjas around him, Shinigami once again uses Sonido and appears right next to Orochimaru on top of the strange-shaped circular rock, Orochimaru then says "So... Is this all your power or you are just warming up?".

Shinigami still looking down at Gaara's unit says "I just wanted to check my body's condition after all this is the first time in thousands of years that I got to move and fight, and I'm quite disappointed... I'm slow, my reaction isn't up to par, and my Hierro is almost nonexistent as they were able to lightly hurt me... but I'm also quickly catching up with my former self... let me show you the power of a real Cero".

Shinigami lightly cut his finger with his tanto, then raises his hand up pointing at the sky and soon Chakra starts gathering forming a spinning ball of Violet Chakra that grows bigger and bigger.

The various ninja saw that and quickly felt the threat coming from it, a Suna ninja exclaims "What is that thing!?" and a ninja from Iwa adds "That thing seems like an overcharged Cero... But damn the amount of Chakra gathered in it feels more like a Bijuudama!! We can't get out of range in time!!".

Hearing that Onoki yells "Don't spout your loser talk yet kids! Don't give up before we're done anything... we've got to do whatever we can do!" at the same time, Gaara yells "All of you get as far away as you can!".

Onoki then uses the Doton: Gōremu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Golem Technique) to create a huge, humanoid creature composed of rock formed from the rocks that compose the ground, and at the same time Gaara and Dodai, an old man from Kumo, from the distance reinforce the Golem with their Shield of Sand and rubber-like substance just in time as in the next instant they hear Shinigami's voice "Gran Rey Cero!".

The released Cero makes a razor-like spinning motion in which is compressed and decompresses due to its sheer speed and raw power, unlike the normal Cero that charges in the shape of a ball and fires in a beam formation, the Gran Rey Cero when fired maintains it's sphere-like shape, even after is fired in a huge blast wave.

And soon the Cero and the Combined Shield clash, resulting in a catastrophic explosion that is begin felt on all the battlefields causing the earth to quake in the 5 countries near the Land of lightning.

At the same time, back to the Alliance HQ, as they were discussing the intel that Jiraiya just sent about Orochimaru's survival and him joining forces with Madara, and also the fact that it seems that he is the one in control of the Hollows even Jiraiya suspicion that Orochimaru himself became some kind of Hollow, seeing what happened to Suigetsu, everyone felt the earth quaking, and Shikaku holding on the table to not fall, yells "What's going on?!" it is Inoichi who replies "Reports are coming from the intel relay teams! It appears... That a huge explosion large enough to be seen from every battlefield happened where Gaara's unit was fighting! That is why it's quaking...!!".

Then A asks "Is there any other word from Gaara's Division?!" and Ao says "What... A disaster! To lose this many men at once...!" and Shikaku "There's no mistaking it... It has to be Orochimaru those two Chakra signatures felt even more powerful than a Bijuu! Tsunade-sama at this rate..." Tsunade then stood up and says "I'm heading out!".

Back to Gaara's battlefield, the sight of molten earth, broken rocks, dust, and corpse everywhere is what greets one of the few survivors that says "What... the hell is this...?!" while some distance away a wounded Temari asks to her brother Gaara who is kneeling behind a crumbling wall of sand "Gaara, are you okay?!".

At the same time Naruto asks Dodai, the old man from Kumo, who used his Lava Release to create some rubber-like substance to protect him "Rubber-dude why'd you save me? I'm a clone!" and he replies "I hate to admit this but even as a clone, we need you more to win than the others!" then Naruto looks around and yells "And the old man Tsuchikage?!" and starts searching for him remembering that he was the nearest one.

Soon he finds Onoki splayed on the ground with a Shinobi near him and yells "Old Man Tsuchikage?!!" and the shinobi says "It's okay he's alive... but his injuries are severe..." at the same time standing on the sky in the same position Orochimaru looks at the devastation caused by Shinigami and says "So this is the power of the Gran Ray Cero... Subarashiii (Splendid)!".(AN: Sorry couldn't hold back it fitted too much with the character to not put it)

And Shinigami in a reminiscent tone says "Hmm, this is a view I haven't enjoyed in a long time..." and Orochimaru notices the survivor and says "There seem to be survivors here and there. The Tsuchikage and Kazekage are alive, as expected... what do you want to do?" and Shinigami replies "There is something I want to make sure of..." then he raises his tanto and says "Karu (Harvest)..." but nothing happens "It seems that I have to eat more to recover from what you did to me..."

And Orochimaru calmly says "Well lucky for you, thanks to this war, there is an abundance of prey for you to recover " as they were talking, the rest of the survivors came near Onoki who regained couscensioness and with Dodai helping him, he stood up and says to Naruto who was about to rush forward to protect them "Naruto, leave it be, we'll take care of the rest... The time to pick myself up off the ground's finally here... And there's no opponent more worthy!!! I'll fight him!" but his fighting spirit roused up the others who then joined him.

Meanwhile, in the Alliance HQ Tsunade says "Mabui, right? Get your teleportation Jutsu ready!" but Mabui replies "The Jutsu was designed for an inanimate object! It's not like a summon or reverse summon, I'm pretty certain it can't send people!" but Tsunade replies "There is no time to argue!! After this you'll know for sure!".

But Mabui insists "I'm sure!! Your flesh won't be able to handle the speed, you'll be ripped to shreds! The Third Raikage was the only person who could use that jutsu for movement! his flesh was like steel, and his blood like iron! If his son the Fourth Raikage can't handle it, then you're sure to die Hokage-sama!".

Shikaku also adds " I do have one idea... the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique), I'll contact Genma's squad if we put a marking on Katsuyu and teleport one of her clones..." bur Tsunade interrups him and pointing at the rhombus on her forehead says "No need... I'll use this!" with no choice Mabui turn to A and says "R...Raikage-sama please make the Hokage-sama reconsider!" and the Raikage raising two finger says "Mabui prepare your Tensō no Jutsu (Heavenly Transfer Technique) for two!".
