From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 178 Imitation of the Demon-Slaying Imperial Chef
"Wow, when did you gather such a massive amount of chakra?"

Killer Bee, inside the mental space, immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Just as those Tailed Beast Balls were being fired in succession."

The Eight-Tails answered Bee's question in its mind: "Although the probability is very small, just to be on the safe side, I deliberately left a small portion of my power as a reserve every time I launched a Tailed Beast Ball. I didn't expect it to actually come in handy!"

Just as the earth-shattering collision was about to erupt again.

"Sorry, my ninjutsu is already complete."

A flash of gray light appeared in Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes, and he flicked two fingers: "Slash!"

boom!
An invisible slash erupted, tearing the earth apart in an instant.

The fissure, hundreds of meters long, resembled a deep abyss canyon, cleaving the village in two. The sharp slash swept through the void, even carving a vacuum 'tunnel' into the atmosphere, mercilessly splitting everything in its path in two.

The enormous Tailed Beast Ball was even cleaved in two by that slash.

The Eight-Tailed Fox's left arm was severed at the root, and it retreated with a scream.

A glint of ferocity and anger flashed in its eyes. Without the slightest intention to back down, it suddenly strode forward and said, "Boy, I've seen through your trick. This move is powerful, but its weakness is equally obvious: it takes too long to unleash. I won't give you another chance to use this move!"

The earth trembled. Looking at the raging Eight-Tails rushing towards him at breakneck speed, Uchiha Muneki's lips curled up slightly. He said with amusement, "Who told you that this move can only be used once? That was just a test. You'll soon see how amazing and cool this move is."

"A mere slash!"

The Eight-Tails was prepared for a head-on confrontation, its roar creating a massive wave: "It's nothing to a Tailed Beast!"

"Yes, a single slash is nothing to you."

Uchiha Muneki formed hand seals, his light voice echoing between heaven and earth: "But what if it were a thousand, a million, a thousand strikes?"

Within a radius of 150 meters centered on Uchiha Muneki, there are no living beings.

Aside from the Eight-Tailed Gyūki and himself, this saved a lot of trouble, as there was no need to worry about the ordinary people who were dragged into it.

Even though we're getting closer, the unease deep inside me is growing stronger.

The Eight-Tails sensed a strong aura of death emanating from its opponent. The trembling that stimulated its soul and the palpitation that its life force could be extinguished at any moment made its heart almost stop beating.

Just as it was about to touch Uchiha Muneki, everything seemed to be paused.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment.

In this seemingly frozen space and time, the world appears to have lost its color, leaving only an empty and monotonous black and white.

The storm descending from the heavens was constantly compressed, compressed, and compressed under the control of Uchiha Muneki, like a peerless blade forged by a blacksmith with thousands of hammer blows. Its shape was almost transparent, and its thickness was infinitely close to zero, so thin that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Sharp is the only word that can be used to describe 'it'.

With just one slash, it can tear the earth and sky apart. Even tailed beasts and Susanoo are as fragile as paper in front of it!

Finally, all the preliminary work was completed.

Uchiha Muneki's eyes were deep red, and his words resonated through the void, his voice echoing throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village: "This is my ninjutsu, Subduing Demon Chef!"

Countless slashes were unleashed in an instant!

The sheer number of strikes, hundreds of thousands, even millions of times, was so dense that it created the illusion of a movie playing the same frame over and over again, resulting in a stuttering effect.

In the next instant, the spacetime near the Eight-Tails was disconnected from the surrounding scenery and spacetime for a fraction of a second. When it gets to the extreme, the sharp cutting causes spacetime to shatter continuously, and then it reassembles under the rules of physics, resulting in this visually 'strange' residue.

Just as a person moving too fast will leave an afterimage in the same spot.

When the speed of space destruction is too fast, it will cause the surrounding space to appear 'disconnected' from it.

Only the Eight-Tails, who is actually in it, can truly experience what that feeling is like.

Before the nerves even have time to transmit the sensation of pain, and the brain is still stuck in the previous second, the whole person is struck countless times and directly broken down at the cellular level.

"This is ninjutsu too?!"

This was the last thought that flashed through Yamata's mind.

boom!
After an extremely brief moment of stillness, the massive body of the Eight-Tails instantly turned into a bloody mist!
Without any warning, and without even being able to see clearly what happened, the whole process seemed to be 'cut off' in the eyes of the Konoha people. One second the Eight-Tails was arrogant and domineering, about to touch Uchiha Muneki, and the next second it suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist.

However, the effects of the slash are far from over.

In an instant, all visible matter within a 150-meter radius ahead seemed to have been 'erased' out of thin air.

It was as if some force had forcibly erased all the ruins, rubble, and even some invisible, intangible matter.

One hundred and fifty meters, a vacuum region.

That seemingly forbidden realm—anything that steps into it, no matter what it is, is annihilated by the 'slash'!
As the slash ended, under the influence of atmospheric pressure, the surrounding air surged like a tsunami, like a celestial river pouring back, wildly rushing into that forbidden 'vacuum zone'.

In the void, waves of air rose and fell, layer upon layer, high and surging!
Like a melody played by the gods, a devastating catastrophe descended upon the world. The air pressure rapidly increased, quickly igniting a boundless sea of ​​fire. With the help of the raging storm, the fire soon spread to most of the village, and the ripples swept wildly, even affecting people further away.

It is unknown how much time passed before the terrifying storm gradually subsided.

However, when the people of Konoha looked again, they showed expressions of horror, shock, and fear.

That area was completely erased!

Nothing was left, literally; nothing was left at all.

Then, the horror and shock quickly turned into ecstasy, excitement, and deafening cheers!
Countless people are cheering for one name.

"Uchiha Munezuki!"

"Uchiha Munezuki!"

"Uchiha Munezuki!"

The sounds rose higher and higher, wave after wave.

In everyone's hearts, Uchiha Munegetsu is the embodiment of glory, the hero who saved Konoha!

Of course, not everyone thinks this way, such as Danzo.

Looking at the protagonist who saved Konoha and was hailed as a hero by everyone, she gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes filled with deep resentment and bitterness.

"I will not let Uchiha Munetsuki get away with this."

Her gaze was dark and menacing, as if she were plotting something. She let out a cold laugh: "I'll show you that individual strength means nothing. Heh, in the end, I'll be the one who wins!"
