Chapter 220 Perhaps... only Hashirama Te can compare.
Chapter 220 Perhaps... only Hashirama Te can compare.
When the 1000-meter-tall Susanoo stood like an orange mountain above Iwagakure Village.
Onoki felt his breath catch in his throat. He looked up at the figure that almost blotted out the sky, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
This was beyond all his understanding of "ninjutsu" and even overturned his worldview, which he had lived for nearly a hundred years.
This was even more terrifying than Madara Uchiha's Susanoo; despair, like an icy tide, instantly spread from the soles of his feet to his entire body.
He opened his mouth, his voice trembling uncontrollably, almost a whispered sob: "What... what kind of monster is this...?"
His gaze was unfocused, and the images of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, and Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Shinobi World, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
"Perhaps... only Hashirama Senju can compare... No, even Lord Hashirama's Wood Release probably doesn't possess such overwhelming power..."
The Iwagakure ninja below were already in chaos, but strangely, they didn't make much of a sound.
The Jonin in the front row gaped, but even their gasps were stuck in their throats. Their hands clenched into fists involuntarily, their nails digging deep into their palms.
The young ninjas in the back row were pale-faced. Some of them had weak legs and slowly slid down the rock wall to sit on the ground, their eyes filled with confusion and fear.
They had heard countless times that "the Tailed Beasts are the strongest"... "Dust Release is invincible".
But now, in front of the 1000-meter Susanoo, these proud powers seem as laughable as children's toys.
A ninja responsible for recording battle reports dropped his scroll to the ground with a "thud," but he was completely unaware, staring intently at the giant orange shadow, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Uchiha Sanfeng gave them no time to react; the two giant hands of Susanoo suddenly moved, faster than anyone had anticipated.
The giant hand on the left descended like a dark cloud, precisely seizing the fully transformed Four-Tails Son Goku.
The giant hand on the right followed closely behind, firmly locking down the Five-Tails, Kokuo, who was gathering chakra.
The red ape's body struggled wildly in the giant's hand, its four tails slapping hard against Susanoo's armor, but only producing dull "thump thump" sounds, not even leaving a white mark.
The white, five-tailed Mu Wang twisted even more violently, its five tails trying to wrap around the giant hand and break free. But the giant hand only lightly gripped it, and the five tails let out painful roars, their tails instantly drooping halfway down.
"Damn it, he's constantly draining the tailed beast's chakra!"
Old Zi's roar was heart-wrenching, his voice filled with despair.
The Four-Tails shrank at a visible speed, and its deep red chakra, like a punctured water bag, overflowed from the gaps in the Susanoo's giant hand and was forcibly sucked into the giant hand.
He could clearly feel the tailed beast chakra within his body rapidly draining away, and the consciousness of the Four-Tails Son Goku gradually blurred in his mind. Every struggle only caused the chakra to drain away faster, and his body became weaker and weaker.
Han's reaction was even more intense. His cheeks, covered by a red mask, turned bright red, and fine beads of sweat seeped from the edge of the mask. Muffled groans of pain emanated from beneath the mask.
The Five-Tails' tail drooped limply, and the tailed beast's deep red chakra, suppressed by the giant hand, formed streaks of light that flowed into Uchiha Mitsunaga's body.
He tried to condense a Tailed Beast Ball to counterattack, but as soon as his chakra gathered in his throat, it was sucked away by an invisible force, and he could not even use the most basic ninjutsu. He could only watch helplessly as his power was gradually stripped away.
Upon seeing this, Onoki felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain almost suffocating him.
He snapped back to his senses, his feet leaving the ground, and flew towards Susanoo's giant hand like a green lightning bolt: "Stop! Let them go!"
In mid-air, he rapidly formed hand seals: "Dust Release: Particle Style Detachment Technique!"
This time, however, his Dust Release technique couldn't even get close to Susanoo's armor.
A black chakra barrier suddenly appeared on the surface of the orange armor. The Dust Release: Transparent Barrier vanished instantly upon touching the barrier, like ice and snow meeting a raging fire, without even causing a ripple.
Suspended in the sky, Onoki could only watch helplessly as Rōshi and Han's chakra was continuously drained. He watched as the Four-Tails and Five-Tails grew smaller and smaller until finally, with a "poof," the two simultaneously exited Tailed Beast Mode and collapsed into the giant hands of Susanoo.
With a gentle release of his giant hand, Uchiha Mitsunaga placed Rōshi and Han on the ground.
His gaze swept over the two people who were lying on the ground, struggling to even open their eyes, and finally landed on Onoki, who was suspended in mid-air with a look of despair on his face.
Susanoo lowered its head slightly, and Uchiha Mitsumine's voice was amplified through the armor, its loud voice instantly spreading throughout the entire Iwagakure village.
"Onoki, tell the Second Prince, Enichi, whom you support, to go to the capital of the Land of Fire tomorrow afternoon to sign a mediation agreement. If he doesn't come, or if Iwagakure interferes in the affairs of the Land of Fire again, I will make Iwagakure and the Land of Earth disappear completely from the ninja world map!"
"You... You dare..." Onoki opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but only dared to shout silently in his heart.
He looked at the 1000-meter-tall orange giant, at the heavily injured Old Purple and Han on the ground, and at the Iwagakure ninja below who were filled with fear and dared not move. The last bit of courage to resist in his heart dissipated completely like a flame extinguished by a strong wind.
He knew that Uchiha Mitsunori wasn't just talking nonsense.
With their strength, destroying Iwagakure would be a piece of cake for them.
Uchiha Mitsunori didn't look at him again, and turned around, controlling his 1000-meter Susanoo.
A dazzling white light suddenly enveloped the giant orange shadow, so bright that everyone instinctively closed their eyes.
When everyone opened their eyes again, the giant orange shadow had vanished.
The wind whipped up black rock dust, which landed on Onoki's shoulders and hair, making his already aged face look even more haggard.
He slowly descended to the ground, and as he walked to Old Purple and Han's side, his voice was weak but filled with endless sorrow: "The ninja world... is truly about to change..."
The Iwagakure ninja below looked at each other, no one spoke or moved.
A Jonin hesitated and stepped forward to help Onoki, but found that his hands were still trembling uncontrollably, and he didn't even have the courage to touch Onoki.
Several young ninjas lowered their heads, tears unconsciously sliding down their cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
The strength of the Uchiha Three Peaks had completely destroyed their fighting spirit, especially their harsh words of "making Iwagakure and the Land of Earth disappear," which made them dare not have the slightest thought of resistance.
The entire Hidden Stone Village fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of the wind whistling in one's ears, as if mourning this crushing defeat.
The earthen shadow tower still stands in the distance, but it looks particularly desolate.
