Chapter 155: Giving You Time to Prepare 【17】
"In the world of One Piece, this would be the strike of a great swordsman," Feng Ye murmured to himself as he admired the handiwork of his sword.
At this moment, within the Village Hidden in the Sand, countless people were stunned, their eyes fixed on the sky as they witnessed the upper half of the village cleanly sliced apart. Some looked downward, watching as the upper portion of the village rose higher and higher above the ground.
"What... what is this?!?!" someone finally exclaimed in terror.
Just then, the elevated half of the village seemed to lose its upward momentum, slowing down under the pull of gravity before beginning its descent once more. As it fell, it started to break apart, piece by piece.
"Damn it!!!"
The Fourth Kazekage, upon recovering from his shock, couldn't help but grit his teeth at the sight. With a low shout, he raised his hands upward.
Whoosh! !
The sand beneath his feet surged into the air, rushing toward the nearest section of the village in an attempt to support it.
Nearby ninjas also sprang into action, their initial bewilderment giving way to a flurry of hand seals as they unleashed a variety of Earth Release techniques to catch the falling village.
Boom! !
A series of earth-shattering booms reverberated through the air as the ninjas of the Village Hidden in the Sand worked together to catch the majority of the falling village, preventing it from crashing into the lower structures and causing further damage and destruction.
However, when it came to the towering cliffs that surrounded the village, even the combined efforts of all the ninjas were futile. They could only watch helplessly as the cliffs shifted, crumbled, and came crashing down.
Rumble! !
The impact shook the very earth, causing a violent tremor that felt like an earthquake.
The resulting hurricane-force winds swept up the dust and sand from the distant outskirts of the village, sending it swirling in all directions and engulfing even the area where Feng Ye stood.
Feng Ye remained calm and collected, bathed in a silvery light that shielded him from the howling winds and swirling sand.
Step, step, step...
He continued forward, striding into the heart of the chaotic village while still holding the Kusanagi sword.
As a Transcendent Shadow-level existence, it was time to demonstrate the power that came with that status. Otherwise, all the hard work and effort put into attaining that strength would be meaningless.
If Pain could single-handedly take on Konoha, he could do the same with the Sand. This was the true power of a Transcendent Shadow-level ninja—the ability to take on an entire nation alone!
"What... what's going on?!?!"
"What happened? Are we under attack?"
Many ninjas were still dazed and confused, unsure of what had just transpired.
Just then, some ninjas who were closer to Feng Ye noticed his approach. They saw him, bathed in silver light, emerging from the wind and sand, and their bewilderment turned to disbelief.
"That guy... who is he...?"
"No mistaking it."
Someone's forehead was beaded with cold sweat, and their eyes reflected fear and disbelief as they said, "That guy is... Konoha's Silver Flash!!!"
Silver Flash!
Wasn't he supposed to be dead? How was he still alive?
And the village had just been damaged by some kind of jutsu, which meant that the legendary super S-rank jutsu had just been used by the Silver Flash!
"Stop! Stay right there!!!"
"You bastard!"
Some ninjas glared at Feng Ye, their weapons drawn as they shouted angrily. But as Feng Ye continued to approach, step by step, cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.
Someone swallowed their saliva nervously.
The ninja closest to Feng Ye clutched his kunai, trembling all over. He wanted to launch an attack, but even as Feng Ye passed by, he couldn't bring himself to move. He felt paralyzed, his back soaked with cold sweat!
The chakra fluctuations that Feng Ye was emitting at this moment, coupled with the terrifying strike earlier and his formidable reputation in the ninja world, created an intangible aura that surrounded him. All the ninjas watching Feng Ye approach step by step felt as if they were being pressed down by an incredibly heavy weight, making it difficult to even breathe.
No one dared to make a move.
The nearby ninjas could only watch as Feng Ye walked into the village step by step.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Just as the ninjas were frozen in their tracks, figures finally rushed out from within the village. Leading them was the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, accompanied by the captain of the Sand Village's ANBU (Special Assassination and Tactical Squad) and other high-ranking members of the village's various departments.
Upon seeing Feng Ye, Rasa grit his teeth.
"It's the Silver Flash!"
He never expected him to arrive so quickly. It had only been a short while since they received the news, and their defenses and precautions hadn't even been fully activated yet!
"Is it only the Silver Flash alone?" Rasa asked.
"Yes... Kazekage-sama, we only sensed the chakra of one person," replied the captain of the Perception Corps, his face grave and nervous as he glanced at Feng Ye.
The Silver Flash!
Even a single person was an immense threat, as evidenced by the strike that had just cleaved the village in half. Not even S-rank ninjutsu could achieve such power! This person could threaten an entire village by himself—a ninja like that hadn't been seen in decades, not since the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who ended the Warring States era and was revered as the God of Shinobi!
"Silver Flash!" Rasa exclaimed. "What are you up to?!"
Rasa stopped at a distance from Feng Ye, maintaining a high level of alertness.
The opponent probably wasn't here solely for destruction; otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped. If that were the case, he would have continued with a barrage of attacks from the start.
"I have come to discuss something with you..." Feng Ye, bathed in silver light, said calmly as he looked at the Kazekage. "But I assume you won't easily agree, so I'll give you some time to prepare first."
Rasa and the captain of the Sand Village's ANBU almost glared at Feng Ye with a hint of anger, but since he hadn't made any aggressive moves, they dared not act rashly. Everyone kept their eyes fixed on him warily.
"What do you want to discuss?" Rasa asked through gritted teeth.
Feng Ye's gaze swept over Rasa and the Sand ninjas gathering nearby. "I think it's better to talk about it later. For now, I'll give you some time to prepare."
