Seeing that Yuto had made his move, Uchiha Madara, of course, refused to be outdone, a glint flashing in his Rinnegan.
"Heavenly Obstruction Star-Blast!"
Uchiha Madara brought his hands together, forming a seal before speaking in a low voice.
Hearing the name of this jutsu, Yuto's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Uchiha Madara.
To use a move like that right off the bat to clear the map, he was truly a ruthless man.
This jutsu was a perfect complement to the one Yuto had just activated!
However, the power of "Heavenly Obstruction Star-Blast" in Uchiha Madara's current state was likely diminished.
But Heavenly Obstruction Star-Blast was still Heavenly Obstruction Star-Blast; even weakened, it wouldn't be weak by much.
Meanwhile, in Konoha.
Faced with the sudden downpour, everyone couldn't help but freeze in confusion.
"It was sunny just a moment ago, why is it suddenly raining?"
Hinata tilted her head in confusion, looking up at the suddenly overcast sky.
Just then, Hinata suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over her body.
Her injuries from before weren't fully healed?
No! This feeling...
"Byakugan!"
Hinata's mind raced as she activated her Byakugan. The veins in her eyes bulging, her gaze instantly encompassed the dense rain falling from the sky.
The next moment, Hinata collapsed to the ground, her face filled with horror.
Kiba Inuzuka, who was standing not far away, was the first to notice Hinata's abnormal state and quickly ran over.
"Hinata, what's wrong?"
Kiba looked at the collapsed Hinata with a puzzled expression.
"It's... it's this rain!"
Hinata pointed a finger at the falling rain, her face pale and her voice trembling.
In Hinata's Byakugan vision, every single drop of rain contained a special chakra.
The amount of chakra in each drop was small, but this was a dense rain covering all of Konoha.
It was a vast, unimaginable amount of chakra that surpassed Hinata's current understanding.
The entirety of Konoha was now enveloped by this immense chakra.
Powerlessness!
A deep sense of powerlessness!
This was the first feeling transmitted to Hinata as she witnessed this scene with her Byakugan.
Nowhere to flee, nowhere to retreat!
With a soft thud, Shino Aburame's body suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Asuma Sarutobi was the first to react, appearing by Shino's side in a flash.
Just as Asuma was about to say something, he saw a swarm of black insects seeping out from under Shino's skin before frantically crawling out of his body.
However, as soon as these black insects crawled out of Shino's body, they all fell to the ground and died completely.
In just a short instant, a large pile of insect corpses had gathered around Shino.
Seeing this, Asuma's hand, which had been about to help Shino up, froze in mid-air.
By now, Shino had already fainted.
Meanwhile, Akamaru, on top of Kiba's head, let out a weak "whimper."
An enemy attack!
Even the slowest person would know by now that Konoha was under attack!
As the rain soaked into him, even Asuma could feel his chakra being weakened bit by bit.
Asuma glanced at his three students, his expression extremely grim.
This rain had only lasted for a short while and already had such a significant effect. If this continued...
The enemy might not even need to appear, and Konoha would lose more than half of its fighting force.
Especially after seeing the state of Shino and Kiba, a chill ran through Asuma's heart.
The entire Aburame clan was probably...
Just as Asuma had predicted, Konoha was now in chaos.
Clans that relied on special methods, like the Aburame and Inuzuka clans, were severely affected, some even wiped out.
"Quick! Find shelter from the rain, Kiba! You take Shino!"
Asuma flashed over to Hinata's side and quickly leaped towards the nearby housing district.
Kiba snapped out of his daze, looking at Shino in the pile of corpses, a chill running through him.
But Kiba knew the situation was urgent. He gritted his teeth, reached into the pile of bugs, grabbed Shino, and dragged him towards a nearby house.
Elsewhere, Neji Hyuga, who was taking shelter under a roof, watched with a horrified expression as the terrifying chakra enveloped all of Konoha.
For some reason, a figure involuntarily appeared in Neji's mind.
"Do you wish to defy fate?"
A faint, almost nonexistent voice seemed to echo in Neji's ear.
The Hokage's Office!
A cane struck the floor with a loud bang. Danzo shouted with an angry expression:
"Idiots! Haven't you found the enemy yet!!"
A member of the Hyuga clan standing nearby heard Danzo's words, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across his face.
However, the Hyuga clan member replied calmly:
"My apologies, Danzo-sama. The chakra from this enemy's jutsu is immense, and it's creating significant interference for the Byakugan."
Hearing the Hyuga clan member, Danzo was about to speak again when Tsunade's voice came from beside him:
"My apologies for the trouble, you may go now."
The Hyuga clan member bowed slightly to Tsunade before turning and leaving the Hokage's office.
Watching the Hyuga clan member leave, Danzo fell silent. In the past, he wouldn't have given Tsunade the time of day, but now Tsunade had Hashirama Senju behind her.
"We must find the enemy quickly and have them cancel this jutsu, otherwise..."
Danzo's gaze drifted to the window, looking at the dense rain covering all of Konoha, his eyes filled with deep dread.
"It seems the enemy has arrived!"
Jiraiya's voice came from beside him, his face showing a rare expression of tension.
"A jutsu that can instantly envelop all of Konoha... it could only be that one person."
Tsunade's expression remained unchanged, but...
A slight tremor could be heard in his voice.
It was clear that Tsunade was far from as calm as her face suggested.
Hearing what Jiraiya and Tsunade said, Danzō instantly snapped out of it.
It wasn't that Danzō was slow to react, but rather that, according to his understanding, Yuto wouldn't launch another attack on Konoha so quickly after just finishing a war.
This was clearly going against common sense!
"All we can do now is wait for Grandfather..." Tsunade began, her voice laced with concern, but before she could finish, an extremely faint sound echoed through the Hokage's office.
Although the sound was faint, those present, with their formidable strength, could naturally hear it.
Tsunade and the others looked in the direction the sound came from.
There, in the air that was once empty, a black dot suddenly appeared. This black dot rapidly expanded, forming a spatial portal in the blink of an eye.
"He's here!"
Hashirama Senju, with a large scroll on his back, stepped out from the other space!
