Naruto: Starting as the Third Hokage with Tears in His Eyes

Chapter 489 Beneath the Dust Escape, a Glimmer of Hope Amidst Despair

"Big brother!"

Chirabi's signature sunglasses slipped down an inch from the bridge of his nose, and his pupils behind the lenses contracted sharply.

That wasn't just simple oppression.

It was a suffocating feeling, as if the entire world was collapsing towards them, a feeling that made their bones groan.

"They dare to pull such a shoddy trick?!"

"ah--"

Ai's roar was no longer a sound, but a thunderclap.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, and every muscle fiber in his body reached an unprecedented boiling state under the impetus of Lightning Release chakra.

The blinding electric light created a distorted force field, forcibly evaporating the surrounding torrential rain into a sizzling mass of hot steam.

All his strength, all his anger, all his humiliation were poured into his right fist without reservation at this moment.

The fist was aimed directly at the massive rock wall that blocked out the sky and pressed down with immense force!

"Aaaaaahh ...

Killer Bee reacted at the same instant.

His rapid rhyming was interrupted, and seven blades of different shapes were sheathed in a flash, his hands suddenly crossing in front of his chest.

The ominous yet powerful crimson chakra belonging to the Eight-Tails erupted from his back like magma bursting its banks, instantly condensing into a wildly dancing, materialized tail of the tailed beast.

However, it was too late.

Huang Tu, a man who has always lived in the shadow of the Third Tsuchikage, has shown an understanding of Earth Release that has transcended the realm of genius and reached the level of a grandmaster.

Boom—Rumble!

Two majestic rocky mountains, silent for thousands of years, seem to have been given life and will by the hand of the gods.

Their closing speed exceeded the limits of physics and surpassed the capabilities of vision.

One moment they were on the horizon, the next their shadows had completely engulfed Ai and Killer Bee.

The air was violently compressed and expelled, producing a series of sharp, ear-piercing pops.

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar, seemingly capable of tearing the earth apart, resounded.

Ai's Lightning Release Iron Fist struck the cold rock wall solidly.

Lightning spread wildly in all directions like a spider web, and the terrifying impact shattered tons of rocks into dust. However, the massive, despair-inducing rock wall only showed a fine crack, without even a second of pause.

On the other side, Killer Bee used his tail, infused with the chakra of the Tailed Beast, to withstand the frenzied pressure from the other side of the mountain.

The two brothers were back to back, tightly imprisoned in an airtight cage made up of two mountains.

"hateful……"

Ai clenched his teeth, making a teeth-grinding clattering sound. He could clearly feel the squeezing force that was almost crushing his bones continuing to increase bit by bit.

Outside the cage, Huang Tu's body trembled slightly, his hands tightly maintaining the hand seals, and the veins on his forehead bulged. Clearly, maintaining this mountain prison was a huge burden for him.

But a ferocious and fanatical smile bloomed on his rock-hard face.

He succeeded.

He created a foolproof, absolutely fatal opportunity for his father and their Tsuchikage!

Low in the air, Onoki looked down at the two figures completely locked in place. On his old face, which was twisted with extreme anger, a cruel, vengeful look finally appeared.

The Third Tsuchikage slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other.

A pure white ray of light, not belonging to this world, began to slowly condense and rotate in his palm.

That's not chakra.

That is the Bloodline Limit, which transcends Bloodline Limits and is hailed as the power of a god.

That is the ultimate technique of destruction, capable of completely erasing and decomposing all matter in the world from the level of existence into a molecular state.

"That's enough, you brat from Kumogakure."

Onoki's voice was cold and dry, devoid of any emotion, like a deity high above the heavens indifferently proclaiming the death of mortals.

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"

A translucent white cube, capable of stirring the soul with just a glance, suddenly took shape in his palm.

Then, it expanded rapidly and unstoppably, engulfing the rock cage below that imprisoned Ai and Killer Bee!

Inside the cage.

Ai and Killer Bee simultaneously felt that indescribable tremor originating from the deepest part of their souls.

Before that pure, unparalleled white light, their proud, indestructible bodies...

That incomparably violent lightning chakra...

That immense power belonged to one of the strongest tailed beasts...

Everything seemed so small and so powerless.

That is the absolute concept of death itself, which is irresistible and unavoidable.

"Big brother... this time... it can't rhyme anymore... Yeah..."

For the first time, Killer Bee's voice trembled uncontrollably, and a broken rhyme seemed to be his last words.

"hateful……"

Ai's body was tense to the limit, every nerve screaming for him to push his younger brother away, but in this cramped space where they couldn't even turn around, they had nowhere to escape.

In the end, is this the end...?

Father……

revenge……

The village...

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

Just as the pure white light was about to touch the rock.

Ai and Killer Bee's skin could already feel that chilling sensation originating from the level of existence, stripping away everything.

Death has never been so close.

"call out--"

A faint, almost imperceptible, sharp sound, like tearing silk, almost completely drowned out by the frantic beating of a heart, ripped through this realm of despair without warning.

What is that?

Ai, on the verge of her limit, suddenly opened her eyes, which were blurred by sweat and rain.

At the edge of the field of vision, a sliver of silver light pierced through the stagnant rain curtain.

It was a uniquely shaped trident kunai.

It seemed to defy the laws of physics, passing through the terrifying wind pressure generated when the two mountains merged at an unbelievable and tricky angle, without making a sound, and precisely embedding itself in the narrow crevice in the rock wall beside them.

The force was just right, without even a single stone chip flying.

On the handle of the kunai, several ancient characters were still clearly visible in the dim light.

"The Sword of Enduring Love."
