Tower of Solarity, Control Room.
"Lord Shimizu, that bird is charging straight at us!"
"Activate the protective barrier. Prepare to eliminate it."
The large screens on the surrounding walls immediately displayed the giant bird's figure.
The previously calm control room was thrown into a flurry of activity as staff operated instruments and relayed real-time information.
"Scan the entire village. Identify all enemies."
"Adjust the trajectory of the beam. Avoid damaging the village."
At the very top of Tower of Solarity, a massive energy sphere radiated a soft white glow from within, while its exterior emitted a violet luminescence.
In an instant, the purple light flared intensely, expanding outward in a sweeping wave that covered the entire Konoha Village in the blink of an eye.
High in the sky, the monstrous bird let out a piercing screech as it dived toward Tower of Solarity with terrifying speed, aiming to crush it with its massive, razor-sharp beak.
Its descent was swift, closing the distance in mere moments.
Just as it neared the tower, the giant energy sphere at the tower's peak pulsed, sending out a shockwave of light.
In the next instant, a pure white energy beam erupted from the tower, so fast that its speed was imperceptible.
In the very next second, the beam pierced through the airborne beast, splitting its enormous body cleanly in two.
The creature's fierce dive turned into a freefall.
Boom!
A dull thud echoed as the two halves of the bird's corpse crashed down on either side of the tower.
The bisected remains did not spill blood but were charred black, still smoldering with wisps of white smoke.
"Target eliminated."
"No suspicious individuals detected."
"A large entity has appeared on the ground—likely another summoned beast!"
The screens on the walls rapidly switched to a new scene, displaying a massive rhinoceros emerging on a cliffside, with several Anbu operatives already confronting it.
"Prepare to eliminate the target!"
"Continue scanning the village! We must locate the enemy!"
The scanning light spread out once more, enveloping the entire Konoha Village again.
At the top of Tower of Solarity, the enormous glowing sphere flared with an intense violet light.
Another white energy beam instantly shot down from above, piercing straight through the giant rhinoceros!
The enormous beast didn't even have time to let out a final cry before it collapsed with a heavy thud, lifeless.
"Lord Shimizu, more summoned beasts have appeared!"
"It's not just one this time!"
Hyuga Shimizu, the captain of the Barrier Team, frowned as he observed multiple giant creatures appearing across the screens, his frustration growing.
"This is endless! Still no sign of the enemy?"
"No, Lord Shimizu!"
At that moment, Kakashi, who had been silently observing from the back, finally spoke up.
"The enemy clearly has a way to conceal themselves from sensory detection. Focus on handling the summoned beasts for now."
Shimizu glanced at Kakashi before shifting his attention back to the screens.
"Lock onto all targets, adjust the trajectory, and eliminate them immediately!"
"Use Telepathic Communication to contact the Anbu. Prepare to relocate the summoned beasts' corpses—avoid causing panic."
The glow of the Tenseigan weapon intensified, and in the next moment, multiple white energy beams simultaneously shot out, striking various locations across Konoha Village.
On the rooftops of countless buildings, Anbu operatives darted swiftly, their minds linked through the Yamanaka Clan's Telepathic Communication Jutsu.
While continuing their search for suspicious individuals, they hurried toward the locations where the giant summoned beasts had fallen.
Wave after wave of purging beams rained down—this was the first time Tower of Solarity had demonstrated its offensive capabilities against enemy forces.
In the past, whenever spies or infiltrators appeared within the village, only the restraining beams had been necessary.
However, despite achieving a one-hit kill each time, the Barrier Team members still encountered a difficult problem.
At that moment, the control room screens displayed four giant demonic hounds positioned just below the Tower of Solarity.
Their massive jaws revealed razor-sharp fangs, and fleshy wings sprouted from their backs.
"How many times has this happened?" Hyuga Shimizu asked in a deep voice.
"Twice. They've taken two fatal blows, yet each time, they split into multiple separate entities."
"Multiplication summoning..." Hyuga Shimizu recognized the technique and muttered to himself, his frown deepening.
"Switch to Restriction Beams!"
The operators swiftly adjusted the controls, and four purple beams locked onto the giant hounds, instantly enveloping them.
However, to the shock of everyone in the control room, the four demonic hounds remained completely unaffected by the Restriction Beams.
They moved freely, howling viciously as they charged toward the Tower of Solarity.
"What's going on?!" Hyuga Shimizu's eyes widened in disbelief.
The Tower of Solarity's Restriction Beams had been used countless times in Konoha village and had never failed before.
No one had ever been able to move even an inch under its light!
Even Kakashi's gaze flickered with surprise.
"They're definitely no ordinary opponents."
Boom!
A loud explosion rocked the control room as the entire Tower of Solarity trembled violently.
It seemed the tower had come under attack—on the screens, the giant hounds were ramming into its structure with sheer brute force.
"What's going on?! Wasn't the protective barrier activated?!" Hyuga Shimizu exclaimed in shock.
"It… It was activated, but it doesn't seem to be working. It's not stopping them at all," one of the trembling operators stammered.
The Restriction Beams had failed.
The protective barrier had also failed.
These creatures seemed completely immune to such restraining techniques.
Seeing this, Kakashi immediately issued an order: "Have the Anbu move in at full speed and prepare to seal and capture these four summoning beasts. Warn them not to harm the creatures—if they get injured, they'll split again!"
Just as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
As if sensing something, he swiftly burst through the door, slamming into a shadowy figure, sending them both crashing through the glass corridor and out into the open air.
However, outside the tower's top levels was nothing but empty space—dozens of meters above the ground!
A powerful force surged through Kakashi's body, and before he could react, he was violently repelled.
The grip he had on the figure's arm was completely broken as the impact sent him hurtling downward.
His entire body throbbed in pain from the collision.
It felt as if an invisible force was outright rejecting his presence.
But what shocked him even more was that, while he continued to fall, the figure he had just tackled remained standing in midair!
Flight…
As Kakashi plummeted downward, his eyes widened, watching as the distance between him and his opponent grew.
A dark shadow spread across his eyes, gradually consuming even the scar over his left eye.
The markings became more pronounced, extending down his neck like creeping tendrils.
Meanwhile, Nagato, clad in a hooded cloak, floated effortlessly back through the shattered glass corridor, stepping onto the walkway once more.
From this vantage point, he could see a portion of the massive energy sphere at the heart of the control room.
"Who goes there?!"
"Halt!"
Several Anbu leaped forward, blades drawn, attempting to block his path.
But before they could even get within half a meter of him, an invisible shockwave erupted outward, sending them all flying.
The control room erupted into chaos.
But they were all skilled ninja—without hesitation, they sprang into action, preparing for battle.
Just then, Nagato sensed something—a faint disturbance in the air.
His instincts flared, and he immediately crouched down.
A flash of icy steel whistled through the space where his head had just been.
Kakashi!
Nagato flickered sideways, avoiding the attack, his gaze landing on the silver-haired ninja who had somehow reappeared, now standing before him.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he took in the dark markings spreading across Kakashi's face.
Impossible…
They were dozens of meters above the ground, and there was no solid footing nearby.
Yet Kakashi had returned in an instant—far faster than expected.
