----------
At this moment, Hyuuga Iroha soared into the air, looked at the two huge monsters fighting in the distance, and sighed in his heart.
A white light suddenly approached him. This white light was translucent, silent, and seemed to strip even the air away wherever it passed, without any sign.
Hyuuga Iroha's eyes were already in Tenseigan mode, and everything was under his attention, so although this white light was abrupt, it did not surprise him.
Hyuuga Iroha's figure flashed, and he appeared several meters away. The white light only penetrated through the area where he was originally standing, that's all.
"Dust Release?"
Hyuuga Iroha lowered his head and met the sight of Ōnoki, then he held his hands together, and a faint light overflowed between his fingers.
"I won't play with you anymore."
"This is your battlefield."
As he spoke, Hyuga Iroha smiled slightly, took a step forward, and stepped into the space crack, disappearing.
"Are you gone? How abominable!"
Ōnoki gritted his teeth secretly, then shouted, "All of you, get out of the way!"
As he spoke, he opened his hands, and a six-sided cube appeared in his palms.
He waved it lightly, and the six-sided cube floated toward the puppets.
The rest of the people did not hesitate at all.
After seeing the six-sided cube, they knew what it was.
Dust Release! The only Kekkei Tota in the ninja world, Iwagakure's strongest secret!
The six-sided cube fell onto the puppets and then expanded rapidly. Almost instantly, it turned into a huge cube 20 meters high, 20 meters wide, and 20 meters long.
Silently, without even a slight fluctuation, the moment the huge cube appeared, the puppets wrapped within it disappeared without leaving any trace.
Even a layer of the ground disappeared. The situation was extremely strange and frightening.
"As expected of Lord Tsuchikage, the Kekkei Tota is truly powerful and terrifying!"
Orochimaru licked his lips and couldn't help but look at Onoki.
Orochimaru had seen a similar technique from Ishigami Hara. It was also Dust Release, but the Dust Release performed by Ishigami Hara could easily wipe out a mountain. Compared to Ishigami Hara, the Dust Release in front of him was still a bit childish.
But no matter how childish it was, the power of Dust Release was still amazing.
In this encounter, nearly half of the newly appeared puppets were reduced, and the remaining puppets disappeared immediately.
"Be careful, these puppets can become invisible, even their own scent can be hidden. This feeling... is very similar to Transparent Release!" (T/N: I explained about this in a previous chapter)
Hatake Sakumo shouted, and his figure turned into lightning again, disappearing from the spot. Just after he left, a ball of light fell on his previous position, causing an explosion.
At this time, everyone was more vigilant, and the two giants flying in the air frowned, realizing that the next battle would be a tough one.
In the distance, the battle between the two giants had intensified, and every sword strike was deadly, yet neither side suffered much damage. Even when the two giants' Susanoo clashed, they could still recover as before in the next moment.
In such a battle, it was still impossible to determine the winner.
"Hmph, kid, is that all you've got?"
Uchiha Madara sneered.
Ishigami Hara smiled and withdrew his red Susanoo, which was hovering in the air.
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara also dispelled his Susanoo, and the two faced each other from a distance.
The atmosphere became tense again at that moment.
The next moment, Ishigami Hara put his hands together.
"Then let me show you my power."
He let go of his hands, and a crystal-clear light flashed from his heart, which he flicked with his fingers, sending it shooting toward Uchiha Madara.
The latter frowned slightly. Although he didn't know what kind of technique it was, he was already on alert.
"Dust Release: Limit Devouring Technique!"
It was limit devouring rather than the original Detachment of the Primitive World, as the light spot expanded rapidly in the next moment, transforming almost instantly into a white sphere, not a six-sided cube, but with a diameter exceeding two hundred meters.
That wasn't all; when the huge sphere disappeared, the space itself vanished!
Yes!
A massive void appeared in the air, pitch black, forming a nearly perfect circle regardless of the viewing angle.
And along the edge of the circle, there were cracks in the space that seemed torn apart, with a faint, terrifying sense of pulling everything inward.
"..."
Far below, Ōnoki stared at this scene. As a user of Dust Release, he understood the terror of the attack just now. That was Dust Release at its highest level, capable of consuming the invisible, intangible fabric of space itself.
"Incredible!"
At this moment, Ōnoki finally had the most direct understanding of Ishigami Hara's strength.
Swish!
Elsewhere, Uchiha Madara reappeared in the air, looking at his now-missing left arm. He then turned back to Ishigami Hara, who was still gazing at him with a smile.
"Dust Release?"
As he spoke, blood dripped from Uchiha Madara's left arm but quickly stopped.
"Beyond my expectations."
His gaze shifted to the empty circular "black hole." Due to the unique properties of space, the circular void had begun to shrink, with the space itself slowly repairing. The pace wasn't quick, but it wasn't slow either.
In just a few breaths, the black hole had shrunk by more than half.
"It's more than that."
Ishigami Hara easily read his lip movements and understood what Uchiha Madara had said. He then raised his hand, his index finger pointing toward the sky.
Then, invisible Chakra gathered, and a faint white light condensed, but this wasn't the light of Dust Release; it was a specialized Nature Transformation of Wind Style.
The Chakra condensed into a sphere, spinning rapidly. Around the sphere, wind pressure from the swift rotation created edges like those of a shuriken.
Then, the sphere continued to rotate, splitting in two, then four, then eight.
A white Wind Release Rasengan variant, a red Fire Release Rasengan variant, a light blue Water Release Rasengan variant, a brown Earth Release Rasengan variant, a blue Ice Release Rasengan variant…
All of these expanded simultaneously, encircling each other in a ring, and a radiant light burst above Ishigami Hara.
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Multiple Kekkei Genkai?"
