Chapter 495 Capture Ohnoki alive
Yui Aoyama instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock, and leaned back slightly.
She had never seen such a terrifying chakra form before. The earth-shattering aura made Yui Aoyama realize instantly that the strength of the Uchiha Mitsurugi was far greater than she had imagined.
Upon seeing this, Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, had his pupils shrink even more, and he even forgot the excruciating pain in his body, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"How can he be so strong...? This just doesn't make sense..."
Onoki, who was in the air, also recognized the Mangekyou Sharingan and Susanoo. His expression changed slightly, and the arrogance in his eyes was replaced by seriousness.
He never expected that the boy would actually awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Uchiha Mitsuhide controlled Susanoo to quickly sidestep, avoiding the giant rock giant's fist, which slammed into the spot where Susanoo had just stood, kicking up a cloud of dust.
At the same time, Uchiha Mitsumine activated the chakra within his body, allowing Susanoo to advance to a new form.
Orange-red chakra surged like a tide, rapidly spreading across the skull's meridians and flesh, a dense chakra cloak tightly covering its entire body.
Susanoo's size also increased to twenty-four meters, and faint chakra armor condensed on its arms.
But this was still not enough to fight against the rock giant that was over thirty meters tall. He gritted his teeth and poured his chakra into it again. Sharp pain shot through his eyes, and a faint black halo appeared at the edge of his vision.
Susanoo's legs slowly coalesced and took shape, and its body finally settled at a height of fifty-two meters.
It stood facing the rock giant, orange flame chakra flowing around it, like a war god descending to earth.
Uchiha Mitsunori could clearly sense... the rate at which his chakra was being consumed... He currently had about ten... Activating his 52-meter Susanoo was already close to the safe threshold, and every movement was consuming a large amount of chakra, causing sharp stinging pain in his eyes.
This made Uchiha Mitsunori realize that while it was possible to activate the 100-meter Susanoo at his current level of eye power and chakra, it would greatly deplete his eye power and even accelerate his blindness, which would be a losing proposition.
Uchiha Mitsunori adjusted his breathing slightly, stabilizing the rhythm of his chakra circulation to minimize unnecessary consumption. At the same time, he kept a close eye on the rock giant's movements, his Mangekyou Sharingan quickly capturing the opponent's weaknesses. He was also calculating his bargaining chips for the subsequent negotiations, ensuring that he could extract the maximum benefit from Iwagakure.
"Prepare to die!"
Uchiha Mitsumine let out a low shout, carrying a power that shook people's hearts.
He manipulated Susanoo to raise his hand and gather chakra. The orange-red chakra rapidly gathered and compressed in his palm, and a long orange-red chakra sword more than twenty meters long instantly took shape. The blade gleamed with a chilling light, and the air around the blade was violently stirred.
Before the rock giant could launch another attack, Uchiha Mitsuhide's Susanoo swung down with astonishing speed.
The blade sliced through the air with a piercing "sizzle," and a massive orange-red blade of energy slashed out, heading straight for the rock giant.
With a single strike, the rock giant, over thirty meters tall, was cleaved in two at the waist. The giant's upper body crashed to the ground, sending debris flying like rain.
The rubble crashed onto the ground with a series of loud thuds, each piece carrying a powerful force, leaving the ground pitted and uneven.
His lower body lost its support, he swayed and fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust that obscured the view of the entire open space.
Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Mitsumine controlled Susanoo to kick hard, and half of the giant's body was instantly kicked away, crashing heavily into the distant mountain wall like a meteor.
With a deafening roar, the mountainside collapsed, and massive rocks cascaded down, completely burying half of the mountainside. Dust and smoke billowed and lingered for a long time.
Uchiha Mitsunori breathed a slight sigh of relief, controlling Susanoo to retract its long sword, his fingers trembling slightly. Continuously activating Susanoo had consumed far more of his ocular power than expected.
Uchiha Mitsunori scratched his head, his tone casually apologetic, as if he had only done something insignificant: "Sorry, it was my first time using Susanoo, I didn't control the power well, I'm still not very skilled."
These words, seemingly humble, were actually a deliberate display of power and intimidation by Uchiha Mitsunori, intended to completely shatter Onoki's arrogance and confidence.
Onoki's pupils shrank suddenly in mid-air, his eyes widened, and the arrogance and anger on his face were instantly replaced by extreme shock. Even the beard under his chin trembled slightly in disbelief, and the earthy yellow chakra around his body became chaotic.
"M...Mangekyou Sharingan?"
He gasped in shock, his voice filled with astonishment and panic, even trembling slightly.
A sixteen-year-old boy not only advanced from one tomoe to three tomoe, but also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, a rare phenomenon in the Uchiha clan, which completely exceeded his understanding and overturned all his judgments about the boy in front of him.
He had been the Tsuchikage for decades and had seen countless Uchiha clansmen, but he had never seen anyone awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan at such a young age.
His previous arrogance and disdain now transformed into a chilling cold that spread down his spine and throughout his body, making him feel cold all over. He finally realized that he might have underestimated an opponent who was capable of changing the landscape of the ninja world. If he was not careful today, he might die here, and even implicate the entire Hidden Stone Village.
Before Onoki could recover from his shock, Uchiha Mitsunori had already launched an attack, giving his opponent no chance to catch his breath or adjust.
He manipulated Susanoo to bend down, his huge hands grabbing half of the rock giant's body, his arm muscles taut and veins bulging.
Then, Uchiha Mitsunaga exerted his strength, swung his arm, and hurled half of the rock body toward Onoki in the air. The huge rock body, accompanied by a whistling sound, tore through the sky, and the air along the way was compressed and made a "hissing" sound.
Onoki broke out in a cold sweat, instantly snapping out of his shock. His back was soaked with cold sweat. Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly activated all his chakra and sped into the sky to dodge, his speed so fast that he almost became a yellowish-brown afterimage, trying to escape this fatal blow.
He didn't even have time to unleash Dust Release again, nor did he have time to pay attention to Fujino below. He could only try his best to escape, with only one thought in his mind... He had to dodge this attack.
However, Uchiha Mitsunori had already accurately captured Onoki's escape trajectory with the predictive ability of his Mangekyou Sharingan, and every move was within his expectations.
Uchiha Mitsuhide, controlling the 52-meter-tall Susanoo, took a large step, exerted force with his feet, and his massive body leaped into the air, drawing a dazzling orange-red arc in the sky.
His Susanoo extended a giant hand, and with precise prediction, steadily intercepted Onoki's escape route.
With a gentle clench of its massive hand, it firmly grasped the Third Tsuchikage in its palm, controlling the force perfectly to neither harm him nor render him immobile.
Orange Flame Chakra tightened slightly, forming a tight binding layer that enveloped Onoki like an impenetrable wall, suppressing the flow of chakra within his body and preventing him from using ninjutsu to break free.
Onoki could only struggle in vain in the palm of his hand, pounding on Susanoo's palm with both hands, but it was like throwing an egg against a rock, and he could not cause any damage at all.
Uchiha Mitsunori could clearly feel the faint resistance coming from his palm. A smile of complete control appeared on his lips, and the Mangekyou Sharingan patterns in his eyes flowed with absolute dominance and calculation. He knew that this battle was completely under his control.
Holding the sword in his palm... Onoki looked up at the towering orange-red Susanoo before him, feeling the oppressive chakra surrounding him. The last glimmer of hope in his heart completely vanished, replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness and fear.
He desperately channeled his chakra, trying to break free of the restraints. The chakra circulated wildly within his body, and the earthy yellow aura around him flickered continuously.
But he soon discovered that the opponent's chakra was as solid as an impenetrable wall, and could even suppress his own chakra flow, leaving him feeling powerless.
He finally realized that he had been wrong from the very beginning... The boy in front of him was no ordinary clansman who had advanced by chance... but a terrifying existence with the Mangekyou Sharingan and unfathomable strength... If he was allowed to grow, he would surely become the greatest threat to Iwagakure in the future.
His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white. His eyes were filled with resentment and regret. He regretted that he had underestimated his opponent and that he had not made thorough preparations beforehand. But now, he had no choice but to accept the reality of being captured alive and could only be controlled by Susanoo in its palm.
Uchiha Mitsuhide controlled Susanoo to slowly land, his huge feet stepping on the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Susanoo's figure appeared even more imposing and terrifying.
He lowered his head slightly, looking at Onoki, who was being held in his palm, his Mangekyou Sharingan glowing with an eerie red light.
The overwhelming power of Uchiha Mitsuru, with his absolute control, was clearly transmitted to Ono Mokuji.
"Now...we can have a proper talk...Onoki..."
He had already calculated countless bargaining chips in his mind. Gold, rare ninja tools, secret information about Iwagakure—he wouldn't let go of anything that could bring him profit.
Onoki was gripped in the palm of Susanoo, his chakra was suppressed, and even lifting his knuckles felt extremely heavy.
He suppressed the fear and resentment in his heart, his aged face taut, and lingering fear in his eyes, yet he still maintained the last vestiges of dignity of the Tsuchikage.
"Young man... what do you want to talk about?"
Now that he's at the mercy of others, he has no right to bargain... His words have lost their former authority, replaced only by helpless compromise...
Uchiha Mitsunaga lowered his head and stared at the old man in his palm, his Mangekyou Sharingan swirling in his eyes.
He deliberately slowed his speech, each word carrying the confidence of someone in control: "It's simple, the future direction of the Land of Earth, information about Iwagakure, and... enough money to satisfy me."
