As he strode confidently towards the opposing army, he began to increase his spiritual pressure. With each step he took, the intensity of his energy grew until it enveloped the entire force. The weaker Genin and Chunin were the first to feel the effects, as they suddenly found themselves struggling to stand under the weight of the elderly man's presence. To them, he seemed to have grown to the size of a mountain, his sheer power crushing them like mere blades of grass.
Despite their training and experience, the majority of the Genin were forced down to their knees under the immense pressure. And even more than half of the Chunin were unable to resist the force and were forced down as well. The Elite Chunin were able to maintain their stance, but even they found themselves struggling against the sheer force of the man's energy. Their movements were severely impeded, and they found themselves unable to engage in combat due to the intensity of the pressure.
Only the most experienced warriors, the Jonin and above, possessed the fortitude to withstand the pressure. Though even they found themselves struggling with the effects of the energy, it was clear that they were the only ones capable of engaging in combat against this formidable foe. The elderly man had demonstrated his immense power, and it was clear that he would not be taken lightly.
As they beheld this scene, the leaders of the three major villages were left utterly astounded. They could scarcely believe that a seemingly frail elderly man had managed to defeat nearly 98% of the opposing army with nothing more than his sheer pressure.
At that moment, Kai's voice shattered the silence. "LOOK UPWARDS," he cried, and everyone turned their gaze skyward. But what they saw there filled them with a deep and abiding sense of horror. A strange and otherworldly enchantment, glowing with a light golden hue, had enveloped them and their entire army.
The words of the Jonin rang out across the battlefield, his voice heavy with disbelief and fear. "I can't believe it!" he exclaimed. "He actually wants to trap us all!"
The other ninjas were equally stunned by this revelation.
Amidst their gaffs, Kagutsuchi paid little heed, holding his crutch horizontal to his body. With a serene calmness, he spoke the words, "Ryuujin Jakka," and at that very moment, the crutch was transformed into a stunning katana, its hilt adorned with a regal shade of purple.
"Stay calm, everyone! He's just one person, we can surely win this," Raiden's words of reassurance filled his comrades with a renewed sense of courage and determination. Emboldened, he charged forward towards Kagutsuchi, his sword in hand and a fierce determination in his heart. As he ran, he was engulfed in a crackling aura of lightning, powered by the signature ninjutsu of Kumogakure: the Lightning Release Armor technique.
With this powerful technique enhancing his speed and strength, Raiden surged forward towards his opponent, ready to strike. The air around him crackled with energy as he closed the distance between himself and Kagutsuchi, his eyes fixed firmly on his target. With the Lightning Release Armor technique at his disposal, he was confident that he could emerge victorious in this battle.
"Shunpo!" Kagutsuchi cried out, utilizing the technique to instantly appear right in front of Raiden. He swiftly attacked with his Ryuujin Jakka, catching Raiden off guard. However, being a quasi shadow level powerhouse, Raiden quickly regained his composure and attempted to parry Kagutsuchi's attack.
To his shock and horror, Raiden discovered that the old man possessed incredible physical strength, which sent him staggering backwards with a step. Even worse, Raiden realized that his sword had sustained multiple cracks from the force of the impact. Clearly, Kagutsuchi was not to be underestimated, and Raiden knew that he would need to be at his best if he hoped to emerge victorious in this battle.
Kagutsuchi pressed on with his attack, unleashing a powerful "Fire Slash" despite the fact that his Ryuujin Jakka was not yet in its Shikai form. Even without the weapon's full power at his disposal, the heat emanating from the blade was intense enough to be taken seriously.
Once again, Raiden attempted to parry Kagutsuchi's attack with his sword. However, this time was different. With a swift and precise strike, Ryuujin Jakka sliced right through Raiden's sword, separating Raiden's body. Before Raiden's severed body could even hit the ground, it was engulfed in a massive wave of fire, leaving nothing but ash in its wake.
As the flames subsided, the melted remains of Raiden's sword lay on the ground, a testament to the overwhelming power of Kagutsuchi's Ryuujin Jakka. Anyone who witnessed the scene would be stunned by the sight of the sword, which had been melted in half at the point where it was cut. It was clear that Kagutsuchi was a force to be reckoned with, and that any who stood in his path would meet a fiery end.
The entire sequence of events had transpired in an instant, leaving those who had witnessed it stunned and unable to react. The speed and power of Kagutsuchi's attack had been overwhelming, and the devastating effect it had on Raiden had left everyone in shock.
Kagutsuchi aimed Ryuujin Jakka at the remaining Jonins, conjuring a massive fireball that measured about 5 meters in size. However, the fireball quickly shrank to the size of a football before Kagutsuchi hurled it towards them.
Kai warned the Jonins present to scatter and avoid the deadly fireball, which they did without hesitation. They were not concerned with the fate of the Chunins who were unable to defend themselves and were left behind to fend for themselves.
The fireball traveled approximately 60 to 70 meters before crashing to the ground, causing a thunderous explosion.
"BOOM"
