Chapter 261: Everyone Stand Helpless
"What is that?!"
Looking at the enormous pillar rising into the sky under Yu's control, all the surrounding ninjas had no chance to intervene in the battle. They could only stare in shock with wide eyes, stunned in place.
Boom!!
However, time did not pause for the astonishment of those around. Sixteen Holy Bullets: Divine Execution, unleashed by Yu, directly met Jiraiya's descending Sage Art: Goemon from bottom to top.
The attack that pierces and shatters all enemies collided with the flames that burn and devour everything, forming successive shockwaves akin to the explosion of a Giant bomb, madly spreading through the air like ripples.
"Such power..."
Jiraiya, in midair, faced the sixteen Holy Bullets: Divine Execution striking from below. Seeing the Sage Art techniques released by himself and Fukasaku and Shima, the two great sages, instantly broken through, a hint of panic finally flashed in his eyes.
"Jiraiya-sama!!"
Countless scorching flames dissipated in the air. When the surrounding Konoha ninjas saw the scene clearly, Jiraiya had already been struck by Yu's sixteen Holy Bullets: Divine Execution, falling to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Break White!!
Just as these Konoha ninjas rushed up, Yu waved his hand, and countless white transparent threads surged from the ground like giant waves, sending everyone flying out ruthlessly, unable to approach the three of them in their battle.
"Darn it, this won't do..."
When Third used Secret Jutsu to break free from the huge white threads nearby, he saw that Fukasaku and Shima, the two great sages on Jiraiya's body, had disappeared, and Sage Mode had also been lifted, leaving him lying on the ground severely injured and unconscious.
Having witnessed Yu and Jiraiya's confrontation, Third understood that Yu had already shown mercy. Otherwise, these surrounding Konoha ninjas would have suffered heavy casualties long ago, and Jiraiya wouldn't just be severely injured now.
"That's enough! Stop it all!"
Seeing the Konoha ninjas around continue to rush forward, only to be thrown away by the waves of threads manipulated by Yu before they could get close, Third had no choice but to reluctantly stop them.
"It seems... you've realized the gap in strength, haven't you..."
After hearing Third's command, all the Konoha ninjas around stopped their actions, and Yu also ceased the continuous surging of the white threads around, looking somewhat mockingly at the Konoha ninjas present.
In fact, he had just entered the realm of Devil Fruit awakening. Using each move and technique in this awakened state was a huge drain on his stamina, a test he couldn't sustain for too long.
"Darn it... his strength is just on a completely different level..."
Although all the ninjas present were unwilling to admit it, they couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts: Yu's current strength has completely surpassed the dimension they are in.
At this moment, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, the two arrogant elders hidden among the Konoha ninjas, even they couldn't utter anything after seeing the result of the confrontation between Yu and Konoha.
However, even feeling their lives at risk they still wanted to attempt to interfere once more, however before they could speak "Hiru..."
"Shut up!!"
Third directly interrupted their words with a stern voice. Today's situation didn't have to escalate to this point. He could have persuaded Yu to return to Konoha and then resolved it in a more proper way. Now, because of the meddling of these two, it became irreparable.
"But..."
Utatane Koharu next to him seemed to want to say something more, but upon seeing Third's fierce gaze, she could only bitterly swallow her words back.
'Killing these two rotten elders is pointless, it's better for them to live and let Konoha suffer under its own ignorant people even more...'
"If you still have any disputes..."
Hearing their conversation, a cold light flashed in Yu's stern eyes. Sensing the dwindling of his own strength, he unleashed the full power of his awakened Thread Fruit!
Holy Death Arrow!!
As Yu's words spread through everyone's minds via telepathy, he gently extended one finger forward.
In an instant, an endless white light illuminated the entire space before everyone's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, an immense white holy bow and arrow appeared before Yu.
"I think it's time for you to truly recognize the difference between us!"
Gazing at the distant, undulating mountains, under the illumination of the endless white light, Yu's flawless and handsome face seemed to be touched by a hint of divine aura.
With a slight movement of his finger, the majestic power of the Holy Death Arrow directly tore through the air in front of him. The heavens and earth changed color, as if everything before the eyes of everyone present was about to be slain into nothingness by this white arrow.
Boom!!
All they felt was a flash of white light that seemed to annihilate everything. From the distant mountains came a deafening roar, as two enormous peaks were actually severed by Yu's Holy Death Arrow from afar.
"Gurgle..."
These were the sounds of some Konoha ninjas struggling to swallow saliva. As they watched Yu unleash the Holy Death Arrow, their brains temporarily lost the ability to think.
"The... the mountain peaks were actually severed..."
Intermittent voices emerged, and the Konoha ninjas around, witnessing the collapse of the two distant mountain peaks, were left tongue-tied.
"Is this his true strength..."
"He's... he's almost like a god..."
A Konoha ninja muttered in a daze, even unaware that the kunai in his hand had fallen to the ground.
"So, in the earlier battle, he was holding back the entire time..."
Kakashi in the crowd, gazing at the two mountain peaks severed by Yu in the distance, murmured dreamily under his mask.
"Unconsciously..."
"You've already grown to this extent..."
Only Third's murky eyes flashed with a peculiar light, and no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
"This kind of power..."
Unlike Third, seeing Yu's almost miraculous strength, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, the two Elder Elders in the crowd, almost huddled together. "If he wants to kill the two of us..."
"We're all ninjas from the same village, I don't want to act too harshly..."
"But I've long been tired of this decaying village..."
Ignoring the stunned Konoha crowd present, Yu stood on transparent, invisible threads in the sky.
Looking down on the Konoha crowd below, the black Armament Haki gradually faded away, and some silver-white strands of hair fluttered without wind. At this moment, he seemed like a celestial being.
"Sarutobi-sensei, this scroll..."
"It contains the method for making the Medical Seal, consider it my way of repaying you for always looking after me!"
Standing on the icy-cold sky, Yu gazed indifferently at the people below. He took out a scroll from his body and slowly removed the Konoha headband from his forehead.
"I'll also return this to you. From now on, Konoha and I are even."
