End

"R-ROAAAAAARRRRR!!"

Kurama let out a heart-wrenching roar as he was struck with such force that his body crashed into the ground, creating a huge and deep crater.

Kurama shook his head to clear the daze. Then, he looked up at the sky and roared with renewed fury, releasing a surge of chakra that made the entire village vibrate as he directed his gaze at Luo Lei, who stood unmoved over the crater.

His anger grew exponentially, and the chakra he emanated increased in intensity, forming a sphere of pure destruction: an immense Bijudama.

Without hesitation, he launched it directly at Luo Lei.

"Hmph!!" Luo Lei snorted coldly, not moving an inch.

To Kurama's incredulous gaze, Luo Lei lunged straight at the Bijudama.

Boom!

A thunderous noise resounded throughout Konoha. The Bijudama and Luo Lei collided, unleashing a shockwave that destroyed all the buildings hundreds of meters around.

The ground cracked under the colossal force of the impact.

When the smoke cleared, everyone present was in absolute silence. Luo Lei was suspended in the center of the devastated area, completely unscathed, his figure intact in the middle of the crater.

"What...?!"

The ninjas who had not been on the battlefield fell into a stupor. Even Hiruzen and Koharu stared at the scene, open-mouthed, unable to comprehend what they had just witnessed.

"What is all this fuss about?"

Those who had fought alongside Luo Lei during the war exchanged glances and proud smiles. To them, it was no surprise. They had seen Luo Lei withstand Bijudamas on multiple occasions.

This was nothing new.

"ROOOOOOAAAAAAAAR!!"

Kurama, seeing that his attack had been blocked with the body, froze for an instant before letting out another furious roar.

His eyes flashed with hatred and determination as he opened his mouth to form another, larger Bijudama.

"Kyūbi, your power is too great! I cannot allow you to roam free!" Luo Lei said solemnly.

Without warning, his body disappeared and reappeared in front of the Kyubi. In a single movement, he struck the Bijudama as it was forming.

Boom!

The explosion was brutal. The Bijudama exploded with a roar that seemed to shake the very space around it. A shockwave was unleashed, spreading in all directions, uprooting trees and sending building debris flying.

"Turn around!!"

Hiruzen, seeing the magnitude of the impact, regained his senses and gave an urgent order to everyone present.

Swish! Swish!

The ninjas, who had already retreated several hundred meters, began to fall back even further, moving away from the place as quickly as possible while the earth continued to tremble.

.....

In the battle, after blowing up the Bijudama with a single blow, Luo Lei did not stop.

His fist went straight to the Kyūbi's mouth, hitting it with such devastating force that it completely shattered it.

"Rooooaar!!"

Kurama let out a cry of pain. Although his mouth was made of chakra and could regenerate at any moment, the blow was a crushing mental impact, something he could not easily accept.

Furthermore, the words this human had said to him echoed painfully in his mind, as if he was reliving an unpleasant memory.

Kurama rose in fury, his eyes shone with uncontrollable violence, and he was ready to unleash all his rage without restraint.

Boom!

But before he could even react, a thunderous sound echoed through the field. Kurama didn't even see Luo Lei's figure before his head was struck hard once again, slamming it into the shattered ground.

And that was just the beginning.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each blow sounded like an explosion that made the scalps of all the spectators tingle.

The Kyūbi's body was repeatedly hit by Luo Lei, first towards the ground and then into the sky, as if it were a toy. Many of those present could only see the Kyūbi moving from side to side, unable to detect Luo Lei's figure.

Even those with dōjutsu, like the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan, used it to try to follow the movements, but only Fugaku, with his Mangekyō Sharingan, managed to see a blurry residual image of Luo Lei's movement.

"Ahahahaaaaa!"

Kurama was on the verge of madness. He felt his body being constantly hit in different places, and although he regenerated quickly thanks to his chakra, the feeling of helplessness caused him a deep sense of despair.

He was trapped, being crushed relentlessly by someone who gave him no chance to counterattack.

It was exasperating.

As he was being hit, he began to feel something he thought he had forgotten: the fear he felt when he was dominated by Hashirama and Madara in the past.

"Damn it!" he growled, thinking he had finally broken free of the Eight Trigrams Seal, only to find himself up against a monster like this human.

'Forget it... I can't provoke him,' he thought as he recognized the desperate situation he was in.

Without hesitation, after being thrown to the ground once again, Kurama withdrew all his chakra and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the imposing Kyubi vanished, leaving behind Kushina's unconscious body at the bottom of the crater.

"Eh?"

Luo Lei stopped in midair, showing a look of surprise at the Kyūbi's disappearance.

'What? You already ran away?' he murmured in disappointment. He hadn't even finished warming up, and the Kyūbi had already surrendered.

"What?..."

"The Kyūbi was defeated in less than three minutes?!"

The ninjas who were watching couldn't believe what they were seeing. The expressions of astonishment were visible on all the faces present, even on Hiruzen's and Koharu's.

"The majestic Kyūbi... defeated in less than three minutes?!"

"Disappointing!"

Swish

At that moment, Luo Lei paid no attention to everyone's reactions. With a blink, he appeared next to Kushina, lifting her gently in his arms as if she were a princess.

In another blink, he appeared in front of the Hokage, with a serious look.

"Have someone clean up this mess," he ordered before turning around.

Firmly, he held Kushina and began to walk slowly, passing Minato without saying a word, taking her back to her house while the rest of those present watched.
