Chapter 209 Two Choices of the Hidden Mist
However·--·
The Tailed Beast Ball, which gathered all the power of the Three-Tails Isobu and was powerful enough to wipe most of the ninja villages off the map, was like a child throwing a ball in front of the much larger Complete Susanoo. It was simply not enough!
Facing the Tailed Beast Ball that emanated an aura of destruction and hurtled towards them, the cold gaze hidden beneath the heavy helmet of the Perfect Susanoo remained completely unmoved.
Its enormous hands, covered in crimson armor, firmly gripped the hilt of the massive lava blade, as wide as a giant door.
Just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to strike the blade between the Susanoo's breastplates—
Shabu-shabu!!!
A fiery red arc was suddenly unleashed with lightning speed, surpassing even the reaction time of elite ninjas!
The trajectory of the blade seemed to briefly slice open the space itself!
The instant the blade of the lava giant blade made contact with the surface of the jet-black Tailed Beast Ball.
An extremely eerie, absolute silence, as if all things had fallen silent, instantly enveloped this world.
The initial shockwaves from the destructive energy collision were beyond the range of ordinary hearing.
Viewers in the distance even had the illusion that time and space had frozen.
It was as if the whole world had turned into a still black and white oil painting.
The next moment!
Sizzle—!!!
Like a red-hot scalpel cutting into a large chunk of butter, or like a rolling heat wave melting ice and snow.
The moment the edge of the lava giant blade made contact with the Tailed Beast Ball, the highly compressed and unstable Tailed Beast Ball did not explode as expected.
Instead, it was cleaved in two by the edge of the lava giant blade without any obstruction!
boom!!!
boom!!!
The Tailed Beast Ball, precisely cut in half, lost the balance and stability of Yin and Yang chakra energy.
Transforming into two slightly smaller, dark energy bodies, they swept past the left and right sides of the complete Susanoo with a piercing shriek.
It shot off toward the distant horizon behind it.
Almost at the same time, in two different areas several kilometers behind Susanoo, two enormous fireballs, comparable to towering mountains, suddenly rose up!
The blinding light instantly illuminated the sky.
It even briefly outshone the sun's brilliance!
The terrifying shockwave from the explosion arrived first, and the destructive gale it generated roared like a natural disaster, violently shredding and tearing the clouds high in the sky into fluffy pieces.
On the ground, huge rocks, as big as houses, were uprooted and then torn and ground into the finest powder in the air.
The vast primeval forest behind them was instantly reduced to nothing by the intense heat and impact of the explosion.
Only two huge, charred, deep pits with vitrified edges remained!
Even though they were thousands of meters apart, the ground beneath Uchiha Ikezumi's feet was still trembling and groaning violently.
As if a high-intensity earthquake had occurred, cracks spread out like a spider web.
Two enormous mushroom clouds, a mixture of flames and dust, slowly rose again behind the complete Susanoo.
at the same time.
The momentum of the slash that split the Tailed Beast Ball by the Perfect Susanoo did not diminish at all!
The trajectory of the blade created a crescent-shaped, crimson shockwave composed of highly concentrated Lava Release chakra!
The shockwave, visible to the naked eye, was like the scythe of death.
It easily cleaved and melted the earth in front of it, carving out a straight, deep, and enormous ravine with dark red lava flowing along its edges.
The Lava Slash, with its tearing speed, headed straight for the Three-Tailed Isobu, whose aura had weakened considerably and whose body was frozen in place!
The vertical, crimson lava slash was even taller than the massive, mountain-like body of the Three-Tailed Isobu.
It also occupied its entire field of vision!
Isobu, whose aura was clearly weakened due to the exhaustion caused by the Tailed Beast Ball, suddenly widened its single eye to its limit.
The pupils reflected the ever-approaching, fiery red that seemed to fill the entire world!
fast!
too fast!
It was so fast that it didn't even have time to raise its paws in defense!
Its vision was completely consumed by that destructive crimson!
Even in the corner of his eye, he couldn't see anything else; it was as if the entire world consisted only of this deadly slash.
next second!
Pfft!
There was no earth-shattering collision sound, only a heart-palpitating dull thud as a blade cuts through tough leather!
The crimson lava slash completely engulfed the massive body of the Three-Tailed Isobu!
Its thick armor, which it was so proud of and could withstand the bombardment of ninjutsu, was rendered useless in the face of this lava slash.
The extreme high temperature instantly melted it through, and the terrifying impact followed, tearing it apart completely!
A crimson arc of light flashed vertically through the very center of the Three-Tailed Isobu's body!
Click!
The massive body of the Three-Tailed Isobu was like a precisely sculpted piece, irreversibly split in two directions, starting from the very center and extending to the left and right!
The fracture surface is smooth as a mirror, exhibiting a glass-like appearance as if it had been melted by an instantaneous high temperature.
The scalding magma flowed slowly within it like blood, booming loudly!
Boom!!!
The massive body, now severed in two, lost all support and tilted heavily to the left and right, crashing to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.
The Tailed Beast's immense life force dissipated rapidly, like a deflated balloon, at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Located directly above the Three-Tails' head, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was instantly vaporized by the extreme heat of the lava slash the moment it struck his body.
No trace of its existence was left behind.
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!
What's even more astonishing is that after the lava slash completely tore the Three-Tails apart, its power hardly diminished. It continued to advance unstoppably, slamming into the massive mountain behind the Three-Tails, Isobu!
The entire mountain appears as if it were cleaved in two by a giant axe, leaving a straight, smooth, and enormous cut surface from the summit to the foot of the mountain!
Immediately, the mountain groaned under the strain and collapsed to the left and right!
Countless tons of boulders poured down like a waterfall, quickly burying the mangled body of the Three-Tailed Isobu, which had been split in two.
Thick clouds of dust billowed into the sky like a sandstorm.
Dust obscured the sky and blocked out the sun!
As everything gradually calmed down, the rubble settled, and the smoke and dust dissipated, the entire world fell into a deathly stillness.
Only the gurgling sound of lava flowing through the ravines and the crackling of flames still burning in the distance reminded people that a battle far beyond the imagination of ordinary ninjas had just taken place here.
Mitsuo Isobu is dead!
Yagura Hajime—Death!
[Ding! You have successfully executed a move of absolute justice! You have received a chakra boost reward! Congratulations on obtaining [①: "Tailed Beast Ball"! Even if you are not a Tailed Beast, you can still create a Tailed Beast Ball with power based on your chakra level by subtly manipulating the ratio of Yin and Yang chakra.]
【②: "Water Release: Water Mirror Technique"! This technique creates a mirror made of water that reflects the enemy's attack and counters with the same force.】
far away.
Tachibana Jiro, Izumi, and Biwa Juzo, who were fleeing for their lives, suddenly stopped at almost the same time.
Because that devastating sense of crisis receded like the tide.
When they turned around, they witnessed firsthand the divine punishment-like strike and the instantaneous destruction of the Three-Tailed Beast's skin and water shadow.
Pipa Juzo first stiffly turned his head and glanced at the distant places on both sides that had been leveled by the aftershocks of the Tailed Beast Ball.
The scorched earth, a scene straight out of hell, made his eyes twitch slightly.
Then, his own light fell upon the giant mountain that had been cut in two and completely collapsed.
His usual icy expression crumbled, and he swallowed hard, his voice hoarse as he murmured, "This—why does it feel like Uchiha Ikezumi still has some strength left? The Fourth Mizukage, with the power of a fully transformed tailed beast, how come it seems like he couldn't even force Uchiha Ikezumi to use his full strength?"
That last strike completely shattered all of Biwa Juzo's understanding of "power".
That's no longer a battle between ninjas!
At the same time, a huge question uncontrollably arose in his mind: "Since he possesses such overwhelming power, he could have easily and discreetly subdued the Fourth Mizukage and the Three-Tails. Why did he have to make such a big fuss?"
Tachibana Jiro has reverted to his fat ninja cat form.
It licked its paws, thoughtfully speculating, "Meow, Lord Ikezumi's actions are probably not just about upholding justice; it's more like a warning. He's informing all the ninjas of Kirigakure, and even the entire Land of Water, in the most direct and impactful way possible."
It paused, a knowing glint in its cat eyes: "Tell them—Absolute Justice has arrived in the Land of Water!"
"There are only two paths before all the Hidden Mist ninja."
Jiro Tachibana continued in a strange tone, "One option is to follow the example of the Fourth Mizukage and choose to oppose absolute justice, and that will be your fate; the other option is to cooperate obediently, and perhaps you will have a chance to survive."
"certainly."
Jiro Tachibana added, "If they are inherently evil and tainted by sin, then no matter what they choose, they will only face death."
Upon hearing this, Pipa Juzo was taken aback: "This—"
He stared at the apocalyptic scene before him, which looked as if it had been bombarded by a swarm of meteorites, and his lips twitched slightly: "This kind of 'warning'—isn't it a bit too exaggerated—"
Uchiha Izumi, who was standing nearby, immediately chimed in, "But this is very much in line with Izumi-senpai's style! He dislikes trouble and roundabout games the most."
"If a single, impactful 'demonstration' can intimidate potential enemies and save countless future troubles—then Senior Ikezumi will definitely show off his 'muscles' without hesitation."
Recalling her experience in Konoha Village, she said earnestly, "This is probably why Senior Ikezumi always made quite a splash whenever he carried out his duty of justice in the village."
And the effect was very noticeable in the eyes of the girl.
Many ninja clans and high-ranking members of Konoha had already been deeply shocked by the immense power of Senior Ikezumi.
Izumi's gaze swept across the scorched earth, finally landing on Juzo Biwa: "Now, Izumi-senpai has shown your Hidden Mist Village the power of absolute justice in the most direct way."
"Now, it's up to the ninjas of Kirigakure to make their choice."
Loquat Ten Treasures:
"...."
On the other side, at the moment when the collapsing mountains completely buried the remains of the three-tailed creature.
After their pupils constricted sharply, Terumi Mei and Ao were still in shock.
Almost without hesitation, he rushed towards the direction where the mountain had collapsed.
Despite the falling rocks from the sky, they pushed their speed to the limit, clinging to a sliver of hope.
When he rushed into an area about one kilometer away from the collapsed mountain, Qing suddenly stopped, the veins around his eyes bulging violently, and he activated the sharpness of his white eyes to the extreme!
His vision instantly pierced through layers of rocks and billowing smoke.
They quickly scanned the ruins.
However, the next second...
Qing was frozen in place, as if she had been put under a spell, completely still.
His face drained of color, and was filled with disbelief and horror.
Terumi Mei's heart sank suddenly, and she naturally noticed the change in the expression on Qing's face.
She asked, "Ao! How is the Mizukage?"
Ao mechanically turned his head, his voice hoarse with extreme shock, and murmured, "The Mizukage's chakra activity has completely disappeared! He—is dead!"
"And the Three-Tails' massive chakra is also rapidly dissipating. This means that the Mizukage and the Three-Tails Isobu were killed at the same time by that Lava Release beast from Konoha!"
Mei Terumi: "!!!"
Despite having a premonition, she still felt a strong sense of disbelief when the death was confirmed.
So much so that he seemed somewhat dazed.
Although she anticipated that the Mizukage might not be a match for Uchiha Ikezumi, and might even be defeated and killed.
But she never expected the process to be so swift and efficient.
This is not a battle at all; it is a one-sided, crushing massacre!
From beginning to end, the Mizukage probably didn't even have a chance to touch the hem of the other's clothes!
The power that Uchiha Izumi displayed had exceeded the limits of her understanding of the concept of "ninja".
Mei Terumi also discovered that she didn't feel much sadness in her heart.
More than anything, there was shock and horror.
Perhaps, deep down, the Fourth Mizukage who constantly deepened the Blood Mist policy and led Kirigakure into an even more closed and dark period was not the Mizukage she willingly served.
Thinking about this...
Terumi Mei felt complicated.
"Terumi Mei-sama—"
Suddenly, Qing's voice rang out again, this time filled with uncontrollable shock: "That...that monster...it seems to be looking this way!"
What?!
Mei Terumi was jolted awake from her chaotic thoughts, a chill instantly shooting from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Almost instinctively, she raised her head and gazed at the towering, crimson Susanoo in the distance.
Beneath the helmet of the fully-formed Susanoo lay a pair of enormous eye sockets burning with cold, karmic flames...
It seems that we really traveled a distance of several thousand meters.
It pinpointed their exact location!
Mei Terumi instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
