Death

The extremely arrogant voice echoed, reverberating with an intensity that seemed to split the sky.

Like thunder, it rang in everyone's minds, leaving them completely horrified.

In an instant, the entire battlefield fell into absolute silence. The hearts of those present pounded frantically as they tried to process what had just happened.

Originally, everyone was already shocked by the brutal slap the Raikage had received.

But Luo Lei's words were like a depth charge that tore through their resolve, leaving them utterly stunned.

".....What?"

Luo Lei is going to fight against ten thousand ninjas by himself?

How arrogant!

"This... this is simply inconceivable!" Tsunade, who had barely recovered from the tension, felt a new wave of anxiety coursing through her body.

She had heard of Luo Lei's audacity, of his boundless ferocity.

But she never imagined he would arrive on the battlefield and unleash such a boast.

"Hmph!" Jiraiya snorted, shaking his head and looking at Tsunade with irony. "You better prepare yourself, Tsunade... if this gets too bloody, just close your eyes!"

"Impossible!" Tsunade gritted her teeth, her gaze filled with determination. "I'll do my best to endure it."

"I hope so!"

Jiraiya shrugged, a hint of worry appearing on his face. "I hope you can..."

"Sigh! Has it really come to this, facing ten thousand ninjas?" Unlike the others, Minato let out a deep sigh.

He knew Luo Lei well. He knew that if he proclaimed something so bold, it was because he was certain he could achieve it. Without a doubt.

How could he have reached such power since the academy days?

For the first time, Minato began to question his own talents and abilities.

"This...!"

The Konoha army displayed expressions of amazement in unison.

It was terrifying.

They knew Luo Lei was strong, but they never imagined he could surpass all known limits.

"What the hell is he saying?!"

"If you're that skilled, come on, finish us in one blow if you can!"

"Our coalition has tens of thousands of ninjas!"

"Yeah, we'll all attack together!"

After a few seconds of tense silence, in contrast to the Konoha army's look of dismay,

Some Rock and Cloud ninjas, enraged by Luo Lei's arrogance, began shouting in fury and determination.

Yes, everyone acknowledged Luo Lei's strength. They knew he had crushed the Eight-Tails and the Raikage, but... facing tens of thousands of ninjas and still acting with such unbridled arrogance was something they simply couldn't tolerate.

Of course, some other ninjas trembled in fear, unable to hide their terror.

"HAHAHA! I LOVE IT! I love that you're not afraid!"

Upon hearing those voices of challenge, Luo Lei wasn't bothered at all. In fact, his smile widened. His eyes shone with an uncontrollable thirst for battle.

It was the perfect opportunity to test the true extent of his power!

"DAMN YOU!"

Booooom!

The Raikage emerged from the crater, his expression filled with uncontrollable fury. His Lightning Release Chakra exploded in an explosive dance of electricity, causing the air to vibrate.

What kind of joke was this?!

He, the most powerful Raikage in history, had been mercilessly slapped!

He couldn't accept it!

"Nukite: One Finger!!"

Craaaaaack!

Without a single doubt, without the slightest hesitation.

His entire body enveloped in electricity, turning into a blue lightning bolt. With an overwhelming rage, he attacked Luo Lei with all his strength.

'Why aren't you running?!'

As the distance closed, a flash of satisfaction crossed the Raikage's eyes.

Finally...

His finger pierced through the air and struck Luo Lei's chest!

Claaaaang!

A metallic sound, as if he had struck the hardest steel, resonated throughout the battlefield.

The image he had envisioned, of piercing Luo Lei, didn't materialize. Instead, he felt his finger collide with something unbreakable. A sharp pain ran through his arm from the reaction force.

"How is this possible?!"

He looked at Luo Lei's body in disbelief. There was no chakra barrier, no visible protection of any kind. How was it possible that his most powerful attack couldn't pierce him?

"Could it be... that his body has reached such hardness...?"

In the next instant, he began to grasp the magnitude of what he faced, and his face filled with panic and disbelief.

Luo Lei smiled coldly, a smile full of disdain:

"Your attack is a joke! It didn't even tickle me!"

"CRAP!"

The Raikage tried to retreat, but no matter how fast he was, Luo Lei was faster.

Slaaaash!

Another brutal slap echoed.

Under everyone's eyes, the Raikage was thrown back to the ground, this time with such force that the entire battlefield seemed to shake.

Immediately after, Luo Lei, like a flash, appeared above the Raikage and, without a moment's hesitation, stomped on him forcefully.

Booooom!

The deafening crash spread everywhere.

The Raikage, who was trying to stand, was crushed back to the ground. The force of the blow was so overwhelming that the ground cracked like a spiderweb.

"How... How is this possible?"

He, reduced to such a humiliating state.

He felt a force equivalent to a thousand tons crushing his head, making his body tremble and his Chakra Mode flicker.

"Wow, Raikage...! You're not that bad! Let's see what happens if I stomp on you a few more times."

Luo Lei displayed a cruel smile, lifting his foot once again and bringing it down with immense force.

"Grrr!...

The Raikage gritted his teeth, desperately trying to stop Luo Lei's foot with his arm.

Boooom!

Another explosion echoed, shaking the earth.

The Raikage's hand was mercilessly crushed by Luo Lei, who showed no remorse.

"....Pfft!"

The Raikage spat a mouthful of blood, his eyes gradually losing the brightness they had at the start of the battle.

If anyone could see what was happening underground, they would notice that the finger he had tried to use had been crushed, and his lightning armor flickered, on the verge of disappearing.

Why?

How could someone have such strength, such physical power?

After being repeatedly stomped, the Raikage, who had always been synonymous with strength and indomitable power, felt something he never thought he would experience: panic.

This Luo Lei...

He was a monster!

"It's over."

Luo Lei shook his head indifferently and then stomped on the Raikage without mercy once again.

"AAARRRGHHHH!!!..." the Raikage's scream echoed across the battlefield, filled with despair and pain as his body flared up in a frenzy of lightning, futilely trying to resist the brutal assault.

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

The deafening explosion made everyone present tremble, cracking the ground and leaving a massive crater.

The Third Raikage's body was barely distinguishable amidst the chaos, his flashes of Lightning Release Chakra flickering frantically as he struggled to remain conscious.

Immediately.

Under the horrified and incredulous gazes of thousands of ninjas.

His head was brutally crushed under Luo Lei's foot.

A chilling "squelch" filled the air, followed by a rain of blood that spread everywhere, staining the ground red.

The noise faded abruptly.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence. No one dared to breathe.

Less than twenty seconds had passed since the Raikage took the initiative, launching a series of desperate attacks, until he was humiliated, slapped, and stomped by Luo Lei.

The Rock and Konoha ninjas didn't even have time to process it before they saw the Third Raikage crushed alive in front of them.

UNBELIEVABLY SHOCKING!!!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the scene. No one could look away; it was a mix of horror and awe that paralyzed them.

Leaders like A, Dodai, and others visibly trembled, their minds blank, unable to comprehend the brutal reality unfolding before them.

"What happened?!" A's voice was full of disbelief. "Father... was stomped to death? It can't be!"

"How can this be possible?" Dodai shouted, his eyes wide. "The Raikage, crushed alive?!"

"In less than twenty seconds?!"

"No way! The Raikage was killed just like that?!"

Finally, the Rock and Cloud ninjas began to react, their voices filled with fear and shock breaking the silence.

The Cloud ninjas, in particular, felt as if the sky was collapsing on them. Their hearts were shattered; they couldn't accept that the Raikage, the strongest in history, had been humiliated in the most brutal way possible.

"Jiraiya! Am I seeing this right?!"

Tsunade rubbed her eyes repeatedly, her voice full of disbelief:

"Did I just see how, in less than twenty seconds, the Third Raikage was stomped to death by Luo Lei?"

"...You saw it perfectly, Tsunade," Jiraiya replied, his face pale from surprise, his voice barely a whisper. "Seventeen seconds, to be exact. Luo Lei completely crushed him, without giving him a chance to defend himself!"

"It's true!" Tsunade murmured, her face still stunned. "Luo Lei is absolutely incredible!"

She nodded seriously, processing what had just happened.

His speed, his strength, his defense, his physical condition... was incomparable. The Third Raikage couldn't even come close to his level. It was inevitable it would end this way...

At the same time, after finishing the Raikage with three brutal stomps, Luo Lei rose toward the sky, took a deep breath, and his eyes began to burn with a fierce crimson red.

The warm-up was over.

Now it was time to show his true power and completely dominate the battlefield.

"Luo Lei-sama, let's unleash chaos!!" Isobu's voice resonated first, filled with excitement, as he turned and ran into the distance, trying to get as far away as possible.

He couldn't afford to stay there. He knew that if Luo Lei lost control, even he might end up as just another target.

"All Konoha shinobi, listen to me!! Gather immediately!" Jiraiya's voice thundered across the battlefield.

Seemingly understanding what was about to happen, his face paled, and with an expression full of determination, he shouted with authority:

"Do not act alone! Otherwise, the consequences will be at your own risk!"

"Minato!"

"Understood!"

Swoosh!

In an instant, spatial fluctuations surrounded Minato.

He began appearing and disappearing, transporting Konoha jonin to strategic points around the army, forming a structure of twenty-eight different positions.

"Formation of the Twenty-Eight Violet Flames!!"

With an overwhelming surge of chakra, twenty-eight violet curtains of light rose one after another, forming a colossal translucent barrier that enveloped more than two thousand Konoha ninjas, protecting them from the chaos that was about to unfold.

And just as the barrier rose.

Luo Lei's eyes burst with crimson laser beams, and with a speed that defied comprehension, he launched himself towards the more than eight thousand ninjas of the Rock army.

"NO, THIS CAN'T BE GOOD!!"

"Hurry, launch ninjutsu, NOW!" shouted some Rock leaders, their voices full of panic and desperation.

The eight thousand Rock ninjas, facing Luo Lei's blazing gaze, felt panic take over. They knew they had made a fatal mistake by underestimating him, and now the price would be their destruction.

They had thought Luo Lei would get tired, that eventually, he would succumb to their numerical superiority.

But now, after seeing the Raikage destroyed so brutally, those hopes were vanishing like smoke.

With trembling hands, they began forming seals, trying to unleash all their power against Luo Lei.

The field filled with all sorts of ninjutsu, powerful chakra fluctuations unleashed in a last hope to stop his advance.

But it was useless...

No matter what kind of ninjutsu they launched, the heat rays disintegrated them instantly. Explosions and shockwaves rumbled across the field, but nothing stopped him.

Finally, the blazing lasers rained down on the Rock army like an infernal storm, scorching everything in their path.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!! AAAAHHHHH!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!"

In the blink of an eye, screams of pain and despair filled the battlefield, a cacophony of suffering resonating everywhere.

With a single sweep, hundreds of Rock ninjas were destroyed, their bodies torn and burned.
