Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 176 Keep it up, big brother!

On the map of the ninja world, the Land of Fire, where Konoha is located, is situated at the very center of the world.

It boasts the best scenery and economy among the five major countries.

However, because it was surrounded by the other four countries and had the most resources, it was always at a disadvantage in every Shinobi World War, fighting against many opponents.

If it weren't for their exceptionally strong foundation and the constant emergence of geniuses, the position of the ninja village in the Land of Fire would probably have changed hands long ago.

Today, the ninja villages of the other four great nations are attacking Konoha as usual.

Just because Konoha Village defied the Heavenly Spirits and ancestral rules, it actually turned around and controlled the Land of Fire, which was a major taboo that other countries absolutely could not tolerate.

"Is nobody here?"

Following the location given by Sasuke in the group chat, Byakuya arrived at the area where the Mist Shadow Unit was stationed, only to find it deserted. Apart from the remaining traces of the station, the place was long gone.

Continuing their return journey, traversing most of the area, amidst the earth-shaking tremors, Byakuya stepped onto a massive rock and landed at the location of the Land of Lightning troops, where there was still no one.

"What's going on? Are you playing a game of tunnel warfare with me? You didn't say you split up, but you've already regrouped somewhere, did you?"

Bai Ye scratched his head, grabbed the massive rock weighing hundreds of millions of tons from his feet, and then, while still holding onto the rock, performed a 360-degree flip.

Amidst a terrifying, violent roar, the rock, forcibly pulled from the Death Forest by divine power, was hurled at supersonic speed.

With a light leap, Bai Ye caught up with the rock, then lightly tapped the surface of the rock with his right index finger, and applied all his strength evenly to the rock through the force field.

The entire rock visibly trembled violently, as if a booster had been added. Its already supersonic speed increased even more, and with the help of the white night, it stopped falling and accelerated through the air toward its destination.

With the relentless speed, the surface of the rock quickly generated intense heat due to friction with the air.

Under the scorching heat, the surface of the rock began to emit a faint red glow visible to the naked eye, which gradually became brighter.

From a distance, it looks like a calamity star from ancient legends that would destroy everything.

On the border of the Land of Earth, the troops of the four great ninja villages gathered here after a long march.

The figures exchanged glances, their eyes filled with unusual seriousness.

Originally, after contacting each other, the villages decided to split into four groups and head to Konoha. However, the information that came from Konoha later shocked them. They discovered that Byakuya had hidden such a powerful force.

If Byakuya isn't eliminated directly, even if Konoha is destroyed, all that awaits is a super demon seeking endless revenge.

In order to eliminate any future trouble, they had no choice but to unite their forces and annihilate Bai Ye.

"Now that we've assembled, let's set off," said Pain, who was standing to the side.

Tsunade and Jiraiya both nodded solemnly. After being defeated by Orochimaru, they also chose to join the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"I never imagined we'd one day join forces with the Akatsuki." Mei Terumi looked at Pain and Konan beside her and couldn't help but sigh. This was completely different from what was described in the books.

"It's just for self-preservation," Payne said calmly. The threat posed by White Night was too great, forcing them to be cautious.

"Self-preservation, huh..." The Raikage beside him smiled sarcastically, but his smile froze the next moment.

"Hey, is that... Byakuya's attack?" A sensory ninja looked up into the distance.

As he spoke, more and more people looked up at the sky, and then a huge uproar ensued.

In the distant horizon, an enormous meteorite was rapidly magnifying in their field of vision.

"Heavens... Heavenly obstruction of the Zhen star?" someone murmured in disbelief.

But many more people were completely at a loss and knelt down on the ground.

What should I do?

Run away? Where to run to?

Using ninjutsu? Who can stop such a huge meteorite?

Only then did they realize that joining forces would only make it easier for Bai Ye to encircle and annihilate them.

At the scene, Mei Kirikage looked at Tsuchikage Onoki with almost pleading eyes: "Hey, you can stop him, right? With your invincible Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique?"

Ōnoki: "Huh?"

Jiraiya chimed in, "That's right! Wasn't it you who used that technique to stop Madara Uchiha's meteor shower?"

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, everyone present seemed to wake from a dream, and they all turned their gazes to Onoki, hoping that he could use ninjutsu to stop the meteorite, just as the Book of Prophecy had predicted.

But only Onoki, the person directly involved, wanted to curse, wondering if these people were crazy. Could the meteorite in front of them be the same as the one Madara Uchiha had in the book?

According to the book, the object summoned by Madara Uchiha not only lacked high surface temperature, but also relied entirely on the gravitational acceleration during free fall to strike people.

As for the one in the distance, let alone whether he could withstand the intense heat that could char a person's skin, it was heading this way at more than ten times the speed of sound.

This speed is comparable to a Gundam-style Eight Gates Might Guy unleashing a powerful attack from hundreds of meters tall.

The moment of contact, his body would be shattered by the meteorite, then sizzle against the rock like roasted meat, and soon he would smell of burning.

If you want him dead, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush.

"Has this guy gone mad? Does he want to destroy the entire ninja world?" Tsunade couldn't help but mutter.

A meteorite weighing hundreds of millions of tons, impacting the ground at several to ten times the speed of sound, would likely cause not only the mass extinction of the entire ninja world, but also the easy destruction of a major nation.

Keep in mind that this is the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. If this meteorite were to strike, it could reduce the population of both countries by more than 99%.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die, we have to stop them." Pain floated into the air, and the other five Paths fell one by one, concentrating all their power on him.

Then Onoki followed suit and flew up like Pain, preparing to intercept the meteor.

"Go for it! You have to stop that meteor!" Below, tens of thousands of ninja soldiers cheered for the two, hoping they would succeed.

Bai Ye stood effortlessly on the extremely hot rock; the temperature didn't even scorch his clothes.

"It seems I used too much force. Charging up for too long might destroy Konoha." High in the sky, Bai Ye also noticed this problem. He didn't expect that charging up his ultimate move for too long was not a good thing.

"Huh?" Then, Bai Ye looked at the two ninjas blocking his way with a puzzled expression. Were these people really going to stop him? Were they really that brave?

"Go for it, Pain! Tsuchikage! You must stop the meteor here!"

Hearing the shouts from below, even Bai Ye couldn't help but smile. Since that's the case, let's have some fun.
