-------------------------------------------------------------

With a thunderous shout that echoed like the roar of lightning, the ground beneath the battlefield trembled violently. 

"Boom!" 

Suddenly, massive stone peaks began to rise from the earth, tearing through the forest floor. 

The surrounding trees were uprooted, and huge cracks split the ground, isolating this area from the rest of the forest. Clouds of dust billowed into the air as if the earth itself had been reshaped by an invisible force. 

Ninjas who had been standing on the ground found themselves being lifted skyward atop the rising stone masses. 

The tremors were so intense that it became impossible for them to maintain their balance. Shocked cries filled the air. 

"What's happening? Why is the ground shaking like this?!" 

"Look! The ground beneath us is rising into the air!" 

The terrifying scene unfolded as the dark soil beneath the surface was exposed, revealing the raw power at play. 

The Stone Ninjas, however, were exhilarated. Standing confidently atop the ascending stone platforms, their eyes turned toward the sky. 

In the distance, a small figure hovered in midair. 

Standing defiantly against the wind, his robes billowing around him, the figure raised his arms high, as if commanding the earth to obey his will. The sight was awe-inspiring and terrifying. 

"It's Lord Tsuchikage! We're saved! With Lord Tsuchikage here, these enemies don't stand a chance!" 

"Look closely! That's Rasa with him, isn't it?" 

On the rising stone platforms, the gathered Stone and Sand Ninjas excitedly murmured among themselves. 

"Boom!" 

The rising stone mountains abruptly stopped. 

Now, several massive peaks, each spanning nearly a kilometer, loomed over the battlefield. The ninjas stood on these newly formed stone platforms, staring in awe at the transformation. 

"Is this… the power of the Tsuchikage?" 

A looked up at the sky, his posture rigid and his expression grave. 

Nearby, Minato and Yagura paused their clash to glance toward the heavens, their faces heavy with concern. 

In the air, Ōnoki, the Third Tsuchikage, slowly lowered his arms, his sharp gaze scanning the battlefield below. He glared at the Cloud, Mist, and Leaf Ninjas, his voice cold and commanding. 

"You dare come here without regard for me? Do you think so little of the Tsuchikage?" 

His eagle-like eyes darted toward A, Minato, and Yagura, a gleam of intensity flashing in them as he growled. 

"Since you've come this far, none of you are leaving!" 

He clapped his hands together, his voice booming. 

"Earth Release. Molten Rock Hell!" 

"Boom!" 

The stone mountains began to crack and split, forming deep, jagged chasms. 

From within these dark fissures, glowing rivers of molten lava began to flow, the searing heat radiating outward. 

The molten rock gushed toward the feet of the Cloud, Mist, and Leaf Ninjas. 

In mere moments, several ninjas who failed to react in time fell into the lava. 

Their screams were short-lived as their bodies were consumed, leaving only the hiss of evaporating flesh and the acrid scent of smoke rising from the molten depths. The scene was horrifying. 

"Is this truly the power of the Tsuchikage?!" 

"This… this is beyond anything we can resist!" 

The sheer might of Ōnoki's technique left the ninjas trembling. Paralyzed by fear, they couldn't muster the courage to fight back. 

Minato's expression grew more serious as his blue eyes scanned the battlefield. 

This is bad. Everyone's morale has been crushed under the Tsuchikage's overwhelming power. If this continues, we'll all die here! 

Determined to act, Minato's gaze shifted, searching for a way to turn the tide. 

At that moment, he noticed A glancing at him from across the battlefield, seemingly signaling something. 

In the air, Ōnoki surveyed the battlefield, satisfied with the chaos below. He turned to Rasa beside him and said. 

"Go, Rasa. You should be more than enough to deal with them." 

"I'll set up a barrier to ensure none of them escape." 

Rasa nodded silently, controlling his gold sand as he descended toward the stone mountains below. 

While the ninjas atop the stone mountains were still reeling from the scene, some distance away in the forest, two figures approached. 

Looking at the massive stone peaks towering above the trees, the man leading the pair smirked. His deep, enigmatic eyes gleamed with unreadable intent. 

Behind him, a silver-haired young man carrying a monk on his back clicked his tongue. Narrowing his fox-like eyes, he glanced at the figure ahead and remarked playfully. 

"Lord Aizen, is this what ninja powers are like? To create mountains out of nowhere in the middle of a forest… I wouldn't dare challenge something like that." 

Aizen's lips curved into a faint smile. Without turning back, he replied casually. 

"Gin, while ninja techniques are impressive, only a select few can produce such extraordinary traits." 

"Moreover, the stronger the technique, the more complex the seals required to cast it. I trust someone like you wouldn't give them the chance to act." 

Glancing over his shoulder, Aizen added with a soft chuckle. 

"Let's move. All that's left is to stage a little drama." 

"This war may soon come to an end. Consider it a punishment for my impatience. After all… the time isn't right yet." 

With that, Aizen resumed walking forward. 

Gin, after a moment of thought, flashed a sly grin. He jogged after Aizen, calling out playfully. 

"Wait for me, Lord Aizen!" 

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the forest, another group of ninjas had just arrived. 

Hearing the commotion caused by Ōnoki's technique, their eyes widened in shock. Without hesitation, they began moving toward the scene.
