'So this is what it feels like to be targeted by an 'Italian Cannon'?'
Feeling the immense energy concentrated within the cannon, Sora joked to himself.
It wasn't that the Chakra Cannon actually resembled an Italian cannon, rather, Sora had a habit of nicknamed any powerful artillery piece an 'Italian Cannon'.
The problem was, the Italian Cannon was here, but what should he use to threaten the enemy?
Sora's gaze fell on A, who was still desperately gripping his sword.
Then, he looked outside, where he had just created an ice fortress for protection, and where B was now bombarding that very fortress!
Clearly, both of these could be used to threaten the enemy.
However, Sora didn't plan to do that.
He first looked at the A in his grasp.
Sora's tone turned cold: "My Hyorinmaru, the strongest Ice-Type Zanpakuto, is being defiled by your grip!"
"Enough. You've fought me for so long, you've fulfilled your purpose. Go on, begone!"
"Hado #78, Zangerin!"
Sora cast the Kido spell without its incantation.
The next moment, the attack originally used by Kyoraku Shunsui in the original work manifested in Sora's hand.
Then, a brilliant white light flashed gently across A's neck. Following the path of Zankira's attack, it broke through Sora's own ice fortress and even severed one or two of the Eight-Tails' tentacles outside.
"!!!" Witnessing this attack, A was very confused.
'Wasn't this attack supposed to shoot out from my neck? Why did I feel nothing?'
But then, a feeling arrived.
As he thought this, A suddenly felt an itch on his neck.
"What's going on?" Feeling the peculiar sensation on his neck, A was puzzled.
He lowered his head, wanting to take a look.
But this single act of lowering his head triggered the avalanche!
From A's neck, a red line appeared.
The next second, the red line rapidly expanded, finally encircling his entire neck!
Thud!
Under the force of his own lowered head, A's head fell to the ground!
The Fourth Raikage, A, a Kage of a great Ninja Village, had just been beheaded by Sora!
"No!!!!"
"Raaaaaagh!"
Seeing his brother's head fall, B went berserk!
Although he had anticipated it, witnessing it firsthand was something B could not accept.
So, B lost his mind!
"Raaaaagh! Yuki Sora! I'll make you pay with your life for my brother!"
"Bastard! Let's die together!"
Roaring, B charged at Sora's defenses and latched onto him!
The Eight-Tails' massive body coiled around Sora like a serpent.
Simultaneously, in the distance, the Chakra Cannon that had been aimed from the very beginning, now charged with the Chakra of nearly all the Kumogakure's Ninjas, finally fired!
Booooomm...
A roar like primordial waters thundered!
Calling it a water sound wasn't wrong.
Because the Chakra, normally gaseous in form, had been compressed to such a high density this time that it had liquefied!
The Chakra Cannon, filled with liquid Chakra, unleashed a multi-colored torrent of light, rushing towards Sora's location!
Before this torrent of light, whether it was air, dust particles in the air, or even trace elements… everything, without exception, was melted, decomposed, and reduced to its most fundamental units!
If one ignored the tool used to launch it, this shot from the Chakra Cannon shared a remarkable similarity with Dust Release!
The surging torrent of light swept down from the sky. It seemed distant, but its speed was extreme.
In just an instant, the torrent of light reached Sora's location!
Then, it struck B first!
This was inevitable, of course. After all, by trying to take Sora down with him, B had to bear this consequence.
Sora then witnessed the power of this 'Italian Cannon' firsthand.
Under the scouring torrent of light, B's massive Tailed Beast Body vanished without even a scream, as if erased by an eraser!
After eliminating B, the torrent of light finally struck Sora's defenses.
They were a series of Vacuum Ice Walls!
Layer after layer of Vacuum Ice Walls separated and blocked the torrent of light.
However, the torrent of light, condensed from the combined power of all Kumogakure, was not so easy to stop!
Very quickly, Sora's Vacuum Ice Walls were on the verge of being pierced through by the torrent.
Seeing this, Sora turned and left without hesitation!
Why would he stand there and take it? Was he an idiot?
Tearing open a Garganta with a casual gesture, and taking A's body and head with him, Sora stepped into the void!
Immediately after, the torrent of light swept through the spot where Sora had just been.
Everything was utterly annihilated.
Then, the torrent of light surged onward, crashing into the great bridge Sora had used to arrive!
The Heavens Bridge vanished, its wreckage plummeting into the mountains below with a tremendous roar!
With one of its three main supports destroyed, even the village itself shook, becoming unstable.
But the Kumogakure's Ninjas couldn't concern themselves with that right now.
They stared nervously at the place where Sora had been hit!
