The Sword of Nunoboko narrowly missed Danzo, sending a shiver down his spine.
What was that?
"That old bastard's Sword of Nunoboko carries his soul's aura—don't get hit by it..."
In the distance, the towering giant crouched and reached toward the ground. A massive hand emerged from the pristine earth, growing like a plant and clawing at the two airborne figures.
Sage Art: Wind Style - Rasenshuriken!
All-Killing Ash Bones!
Both attacks struck the giant hand below, while Danzo and Kaguya ascended higher into the air.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two Sword of Nunoboko, embedded at the edges of the Pure Land's boundary, seemed to rebound unnaturally, shooting straight back down.
Danzo swiftly pulled Kaguya into his grasp, dodging the eerie counterattack.
Below, the Rasenshuriken clashed with the giant hand, producing an ear-piercing screech that echoed through space, disorienting anyone who heard it.
Meanwhile, the swords that had rebounded now pierced into the giant hand—but instead of inflicting damage, they melted into it, vanishing like ice dissolving into water.
Suddenly, the light above dimmed. Another massive hand reached down from the sky.
Sage Art: Susanoo!
A colossal blue warrior formed mid-air, enveloping Danzo and Kaguya. Its arms stretched outward, grabbing the descending giant hand. With a powerful heave, it executed an over-the-shoulder throw.
The giant, still crouched in the distance, had its buried arms yanked forward, its enormous body dragged entirely into the ground.
Then, as if plucked from the sky, the giant was pulled downward at terrifying speed, crashing toward the earth.
Yet, to Danzo's surprise, there was no impact.
The moment the giant touched the ground, it sank seamlessly, as though plunging into a body of water without resistance.
"Boom!"
Before Danzo could react, the giant re-emerged from above, crashing down in its original posture.
Two titanic figures collided mid-air and tumbled violently to the ground.
"Boom!" The impact sent massive cracks sprawling across the earth.
Danzo, controlling Susanoo, stood back up, his gaze fixed on the unscathed giant, which was already emerging from the ground.
"This bastard's cheating."
No time to complain—another massive sword materialized in the giant's hand and was launched straight at Danzo.
"Whoosh!"
Danzo sidestepped the attack.
"I'll pull Hagoromo out of the glass. You back me up."
With that, he ejected Kaguya from Susanoo and conjured a massive blue-flaming sword. Charging at the giant with incredible speed, he delivered a cross-shaped slash.
A deep cross-shaped wound split across the giant's chest.
At the same time, Susanoo's massive hand lunged forward, aiming straight for the exposed Otsutsuki Hagoromo inside the wound.
"Bang!"
Yet, the strike failed to pierce through.
The wound rapidly regenerated, sealing shut in an instant.
Danzo's eyes narrowed in surprise.
That level of regeneration...?
Then I'll skewer him properly.
Danzo locked onto the unconscious Hagoromo at the giant's core.
In a flash, he charged forward once more, sword poised for a decisive strike.
"Whoosh!"
The swords he had previously dodged reached the edge of space and, as expected, rebounded right back.
Danzo ignored the incoming attack. He had a limited window of opportunity—he had to strike before the giant recovered.
He trusted Kaguya.
Yomotsu Hirasaka!
A distorted black rift appeared behind Danzo and another behind the giant. The rebounding swords vanished into the rift—
—only to reappear behind the giant, converging with Danzo's sword from opposite directions.
"Swish!"
Both giants were impaled simultaneously, like a skewer piercing through them.
The blue sword stabbed deep into the giant's chest.
At the same moment, a Sword of Nunoboko emerged from its back, skewering Susanoo.
"Boom!"
Danzo's Susanoo kicked the giant away.
The spot where the sword had struck Susanoo's shoulder burned with a white, soul-consuming flame, rapidly spreading and dissolving it.
Danzo willed Susanoo's chakra to shift, severing the affected arm before the flames could spread further. In an instant, a new arm regenerated from the blue chakra.
Meanwhile, white flames ignited from the giant sword embedded in the giant's chest. Within moments, the sword melted away.
Inside the glass, Otsutsuki Hagoromo finally opened his eyes—but he looked entirely unscathed.
"Everything you do here is futile. Just surrender and become nourishment for the Divine Tree—"
Before he could finish, Danzo surged forward again, sword raised.
Otsutsuki Hamura immediately abandoned his taunt, bringing his hands together.
"Crack... Crack... Crack..."
Rows of massive glass pillars shot up at a 45-degree angle, attempting to block Susanoo's advance.
At the same time, Hamura's body began merging into the ground.
"Whoosh!"
The next instant, Danzo's blue sword plunged deep into the earth.
The giant reappeared, now positioned at the very edge of the folded Pure Land boundary.
"What a reckless heretic." Hamura scowled but grudgingly admitted the truth—Danzo's sheer combat ability far outclassed his own.
Even while controlling the Pure Land's giant, he struggled to keep up with Danzo's relentless pace.
At this level of battle, relying on something as primitive as taijutsu?
A flash of blue light streaked across the battlefield.
"Whoosh—Thunk!"
A glowing blue arrow embedded itself in the giant's chest.
Inside, Hamura looked down at his own body—half of it had already disintegrated. Rage flared within him, mixed with a sliver of relief.
His wary eyes locked onto the distant blue giant, still holding its bow.
He was lucky he hadn't set foot in the Shinobi World yet.
This man... truly was an anomaly.

Hey everyone!
I recently found a really good fanfic called "Starting from One Piece with the Rinnegan", you can also find it on my Webnovel profile. It's about a character with the Rinnegan who ends up in the One Piece world.
He's not some overpowered guy crushing Yonko on day one, but he's definitely not weak either. He's strong enough to survive and grow, which gives the story a nice balance.
I'd say the pacing is smooth, easy to read, and packed with action. Personally, I didn't feel bored even when rereading it, which is rare for me!
Highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for something fun and engaging to read.
