Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 187 One Punch! Just one punch!
"Damn it!"

"That's a humanoid weapon from the Kaguya clan?!"

"How could the Corpse Bone Pulse possibly achieve this level of skill?"

Upon seeing the white monster emanating a terrifying aura from the bone forest, the surviving Mist Ninjas instantly distanced themselves, their faces a mixture of lingering fear and shock at surviving such a close call.

However, the ninjas of Kirigakure who experienced the 'Village of Blood Mist' are arguably the most disciplined in the entire ninja world, placing their missions above the lives of their comrades and themselves.

The idea that Sakumo Hatake would abandon his mission to save his comrades is impossible in Kirigakure, because they know that doing so would only result in death.

Therefore, even in the face of such a bloody and cruel scene, the Hidden Mist ninjas did not break down, but quickly regrouped and charged at the white monster again.

"Water Release: Kirigakure Jutsu!"

Several Hidden Mist ninja instantly formed hand seals, their movements perfectly synchronized and precise. The mist in the air thickened, and the Hidden Mist ninja disappeared into the dense fog.

This ninjutsu reduces visibility to two or three meters, and the chakra in the mist can conceal one's presence and interfere with most sensory ninjutsu.

Using the unique ninjutsu of Hidden Mist, the Hidden Mist Village developed a complete assassination process, also known as the "silent killing technique."

The person most skilled in this technique was Zabuza Momochi, who was once known as the "Hidden Demon of the Mist" and had recently defected.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Several Hidden Mist ninjas emerged from the thick fog like ghosts, moving with incredible speed and moving silently, their short swords slashing towards the white monster in the center of the bone forest!

The white monster's skeletal arm suddenly rose, its external skeleton twisting and deforming as it did so!
Click! Click!

His two arms transformed into two giant hammers covered with hideous bone spikes, which slammed down with tremendous force towards several Hidden Mist ninjas!
boom! !

A deafening roar, so deep it was almost muffled, followed by violent tremors and shockwaves that swept outwards.

In the area directly hit by the giant hammer, several Mist Ninjas were smashed into a bloody pulp before they could even scream, and the others were also violently thrown away by the powerful impact!
Only two Hidden Mist ninjas, with their astonishing reflexes, narrowly escaped the hammer blows by leaping up, clinging to the white monster's ribcage like maggots!
clang!
The short sword struck it squarely, but the expected penetration did not occur. Only a piercing metallic clang rang out, and the blade even sparked a great deal of fire!
"What kind of bone hardness is this?!"

Upon seeing the two faint white marks left on the monster's body, the expressions of the two Hidden Mist ninjas immediately changed.

Just then, the bone armor under the white monster's ribs suddenly writhed and bulged, and two sharp bone spears pierced out!
puff!puff!
The bodies of the two Hidden Mist ninjas were instantly pierced, and they were lifted up and hung on the pale bone spears!

The white monster didn't even glance at the corpse hanging on the bone spear; its eyes were fixed on the ninja hidden in the surrounding fog.

Unable to see the exact locations of the ninjas, it deformed its massive bone hammers once more.

Click! Kaka!

His arm stretched wildly, transforming into a terrifying weapon covered in barbs, resembling a thick, white bone whip, which swept outwards with a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air!

puff!puff!
Several Hidden Mist Ninjas, hidden in the mist, had no time to react before their bodies were instantly torn apart by the sweeping white bone spike whip, shattering like paper in mid-air, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.

"Ugh!"

"Spread out!"

Muffled groans, screams, and exclamations instantly rang out in the thick fog, but quickly turned into a chorus of roars as ninjutsu was unleashed.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Pillar!"

"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Water Release·Water Fang Bullet!"

High-speed rotating water columns, condensed and compressed water dragons, giant falling water spheres...

The water spewed from its mouth converged into a towering wave, crashing fiercely towards the white monster in the center of the bone forest from different directions!

"Roar!"

Faced with this overwhelming attack, the white monster let out a low roar, raised its arms, and then slammed them down.

Layer upon layer of thicker, more ferocious, pale white bones proliferated, growing and stacking wildly in front of it, forming a hard, thick wall of white bones that crashed to the ground!

Boom! !
The torrent of water slammed into the wall of bones, unleashing a deafening roar that engulfed it!

However, when the torrent of water escape receded, the white bone barrier remained intact except for a few cracks on the surface, and the huge body of the white monster did not move at all!
But it was in that very instant, the instant it lost sight of us.

Two figures appeared instantly beside it, completely disregarding the damage from the bone spikes on its body, and after patting it with their hands, they tried to pull away.

But two arms had already grabbed them, and five muscular fingers spread out, pressing down on the faces of the two Hidden Mist ninjas.

Bang bang! !
Crimson blood mixed with a little white burst open, and two headless corpses knelt on the ground, gushing blood that pooled into filthy pools on the gray and dirty ground.

呲!
With a faint sound like a match being struck, two blinding beams of light appeared on the white monster's waist.

boom! boom! !

Several explosions struck it at close range without reservation.

The feet that had remained firmly planted on the ground were finally shaken back several steps, and shattered bones rustled as they fell from the waist and abdomen that had endured multiple explosions.

The next moment, several figures rushed out of the thick fog. Bone spears shot out from the white monster's body, piercing through the figures, but no blood flowed out; instead, they turned into a puddle.

Water Release: Water Clone Technique.

Just as it was unable to condense its bone spear, a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, an elite ANBU member, appeared from its blind spot, his hand forming a sharp water blade from the water.

Water Escape·Water Fang Blade!
The nature and form of the Water Release chakra were altered, transforming the originally almost harmless water flow into several incredibly sharp, high-pressure water blades.

Click!

The Hidden Mist Jonin plunged his sword into the area of ​​his broken bones in his waist and abdomen, slicing through the steel-hard bones inch by inch, sparks flying like fireworks as metal clashed.

But the next moment, a hand pressed down on the blade, the palm and flesh penetrating deep into the blade, yet it unleashed absolute power, stopping the water flow from advancing.

"call!"

Heavy, oppressive breaths pressed against his face. The Kirigakure Jonin subconsciously looked up and met those scarlet eyes head-on, eyes filled with murderous intent.

Almost without hesitation, the Kirigakure Jonin raised his other hand and threw out an explosive tag kunai.

He aimed at the white monster's head, or rather, at its eyes.

Its body, covered in hard bones, is virtually impenetrable, leaving only this one potentially vulnerable spot.

Then, the kunai, which had been gathering power for a long time, tore through the air and shot towards its eye with a sharp whistling sound. One could almost see the kunai piercing its brain, exploding, and blood splattering everywhere.

But what happened next froze his face.

The white monster raised its hand and grasped the kunai, which was crushed in front of it, followed by the explosion of the explosive tag at close range.

boom!
As the smoke cleared, a pair of savage, scarlet eyes appeared, and his hand transformed into a bone blade, which he raised and plunged into the chest of the Hidden Mist Jonin.

In an instant, the Kirigakure Jonin was pierced through the body, vomiting a large amount of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, which splashed onto the white monster's face, and he lost his breath.

Without a doubt, this monster is very strong.

However, just as Black Zetsu said, it was far from being familiar with its own power and was only driven by the fighting spirit and killing intent of the Kaguya clan, fighting entirely on its own instincts.

Then, a short figure appeared silently in front of it, holding a club-like weapon with a hook at the end, and a tail growing from its back, only a few meters away.

"Roar!"

Seemingly sensing the aura of the tailed beast within Yagura, the white monster let out a low roar, and its arm, transformed into a giant hammer, slammed down with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
However, faced with this terrifying blow that could shatter the ground, Yagura Karatachi simply raised his seemingly slender right hand.

Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!

A smooth, mirror-like water mirror materialized out of thin air in front of him, its shimmering surface reflecting the enormous bone hammer that had been struck!
The giant hammer slammed down on the water mirror, but the expected mirror shattering did not occur. Instead, a powerful recoil force was released, like a spring that had been compressed to its limit.

It bounced off the giant hammer with a deafening roar!
Bang! !

The white monster was repelled by its own power, staggering back several steps before stopping. But Yagura's figure clung to it like a leech, chasing after it and reaching out his palm.

Coral Palm!
The part of the white monster that was struck by Yagura Karatachi's fist instantly softened and dissolved, as if corroded by strong acid!
Immediately afterwards, a large patch of hardened material, resembling a deep-sea coral reef, grew and spread wildly across the surface of the white monster's skeleton!
The coral-like parts not only caused pain, but also caused its body to suddenly stiffen, making its movements twisted and sluggish.

"Roar!"

The excruciating pain caused the white monster to roar even more furiously. Its massive maw beneath its mask opened, and a highly compressed, dark red energy began to gather.

Faced with this powerful surge of energy, Yagura Karatachi finally stopped in his tracks.

The next moment, an enormous and suffocatingly violent chakra erupted from his small body like an awakened volcano!
"retreat!"

Upon seeing this, the Kirigakure ninjas who had been waiting for an opportunity all changed their expressions. After the Kirigakure Jonin shouted an order, everyone moved away from the area without hesitation.

At the same time, dense red chakra, like boiling magma, surged wildly from Yagura's body, instantly enveloping his entire body. The chakra rapidly condensed and deformed!
In the blink of an eye, a colossal beast, the Three-Tailed Isobu, with its massive size, its entire body covered in gray-blue armor, and three enormous tails swaying behind it, descended fiercely!

Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!
"Roar!!"

A roar even more ferocious than the white monster resounded, shaking the very air!
The Three-Tailed Isobu slowly lowered its head, and the Sharingan appeared in its single eye as it stared intently at the white monster beneath it.

Facing the incoming crimson beam of light, it also spat out a chakra cannon.

Boom! !
A scarlet and a dark red beam of light collided violently, and the terrifying impact instantly swept through the entire Hidden Mist Village. The earth trembled and groaned as it cracked and collapsed inch by inch!

The white monster was violently thrown away by the impact, crashing into the wall of the distant Water Shadow Building and embedding itself in the ruins!
Smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel rained down.

From the ruins came the painful and angry growls of the white monster, as well as the ear-piercing sounds of bones grinding and trying to break free.

But Isobu, the Three-Tailed Beast, slammed its massive, pillar-like tail down, firmly suppressing the struggling monster amidst the ruins. Countless corals sprouted from the white monster's body. The 'Hollow', which had only recently been born and whose own abilities were still unknown, was utterly powerless against Yagura Karatachi, who had fully transformed into a tailed beast and was showing no regard for the casualties in Kirigakure.

"Sealing team, come and seal this monster!"

Amidst the thick fog, Yagura's voice rang out from Isobu's mouth, instantly easing the fear in the hearts of the Kirigakure members in the distance.

Immediately following was a feeling of exhilaration.

As expected of the Fourth Mizukage, a perfect Jinchūriki, how could those fools who overestimated themselves and tried to rebel possibly succeed against such a powerful Mizukage?

At the same time, Obito Uchiha and Zetsu appeared on a distant high-rise building, calmly watching everything that was happening below.

“Although I don’t know why the ‘Great Hollow’ appeared in Kirigakure, if we can control it and figure out a way to counter it…” Black Zetsu said in a hoarse voice.

Undoubtedly, this will be of great use in their future battles against the 'Shadows' and the 'Espada'.

However, just as Obito's originally gloomy mood brightened a little, Zetsu, in both black and white, seemed to suddenly sense something, abruptly looked up at the sky, and his expression changed drastically.

A not-so-large figure plummeted straight down towards the location of the Three-Tailed Isobu below.

It was not a simple fall, but rather like a meteorite hitting the ground.

The air was compressed and torn apart to the extreme, leaving a visible sonic boom cloud behind it, and the terrifying shriek arrived late!
"what is that?"

Among the Hidden Mist ninja below, some also sensed a powerful aura and subconsciously looked up. The next moment, they felt an incredibly powerful wind pressure crashing down on them.

"Something's wrong!" A shout rang out from a Hidden Mist ninja. "Quick..."

Before he could finish speaking, his last words were drowned out.

The figure had already landed, carrying with it an incredibly terrifying power.

boom! !

A terrifying explosion rang out, and the earth trembled with a mournful cry.

Centered on the point of impact, the entire ground cracked and collapsed inch by inch, forming a huge crater in an instant, and the terrifying impact spread out in a ring!
Wherever it passed, the hard stone slabs were lifted and shattered like pieces of paper.

The Hidden Mist ninjas, unable to escape in time, didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were instantly torn apart by this destructive force, their flesh exploding into a sky full of scarlet blood mist!
Then, a violent and surging shockwave swept through, dispersing the surrounding thick fog and shattering all the windows of the buildings!

Meanwhile, the massive, mountain-like body of the Three-Tailed Isobu, located right in the center, seemed to have been slammed into the ground by an invisible giant hammer!
Kaka! Click!
A sickening cracking sound rang out as the figure forcefully crushed the thick, armored back.

"Roar!!"

The Three-Tailed Isoch let out a roar full of pain and rage, and the entire area in front of the Mizukage Building, centered on it, was completely transformed into a deep pit covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

On its broken back, a slender figure stood tall.

She wasn't tall, but she exuded a suffocating aura, and her long, fiery red hair danced wildly in the turbulent waters.

"Intermediate 'Hollow Knight'?"

Looking at the Hollow in the ruins in the distance, 'Vortex' muttered to himself, "It looks a bit weak, but it's barely enough."

After saying that, she lowered her head, her indifferent scarlet eyes looking at the struggling Three-Tailed Beast at her feet.

“You…” Yagura’s voice came from Isobu Mio’s mouth.

He seemed to want to say something, but didn't finish speaking.

Wow!
Several jet-black chains with runes flowing across their surfaces wrapped around her arms as if they were alive, and an indescribable, terrifying power was gathering around them!

Besides the "Diamond Lockdown," the chains of the 'Vortex' can also seal away most of its power in normal times, like confining a raging torrent within a dam.

In battle, it can instantly unleash all its sealed power, unleashing destructive power far exceeding normal levels. The longer the power is sealed, the more terrifying the power it unleashes.

At that moment, she slowly clenched her hand into a fist, creating a loud bang in the air, and then slammed it down with a terrifying howl.

The fist slammed solidly into the center of the back of the three-tailed Isobu, which was covered by a thick carapace.

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

The next moment, a visible ripple erupted from the center of the fist imprint, instantly spreading to the entire body of the Three-Tailed Isobu!
Click! Click! !

A series of chilling cracking sounds rang out as the incredibly hard shell of the Three-Tailed Isobu cracked, with large cracks spreading across the entire shell in an instant.

"Uhhhhh!!"

Tailed beast chakra surged out from countless cracks, and Yagura Karatachi let out an unprecedented scream that shook the entire Hidden Mist Village!

Under the fearful gazes of the surviving Hidden Mist ninja.

The massive body of the Three-Tails Isobu melted and disintegrated like snow under the sun. The raging tailed beast chakra lost its form and turned into a raging torrent that spread wildly everywhere!
Amidst the dissipating tailed beast chakra, Yagura's figure crashed to the ground.

However, at this moment his eyes were closed, his face was as pale as paper, he was spitting out blood, and his breath was extremely weak.

Tailed beasts cannot die; they can heal even when injured.

However, if a Jinchuriki is fully transformed into a Tailed Beast, the injury to the Tailed Beast is equivalent to the injury to the Jinchuriki himself. Apart from not dying, the pain will not be relieved.

The others, of course, were unaware that 'Vortex' had used its long-accumulated power.

Therefore, in the eyes of the other surviving Kirigakure ninja, this was equivalent to their powerful Fourth Mizukage and Three-Tails Isobu being smashed to pieces by that humanoid monster with a single punch.

One punch!
Just one punch!
What kind of monster is this? !
'Whirlpool' looked at Yagura Karatachi at its feet, the black chains binding its arms silently dissipated, and then slowly raised its foot to step on Yagura's head...

Kaka!

The skull made a crisp sound as it was repeatedly squeezed.

'Uzumaki' didn't look at Yagura at his feet, but instead looked at the Hidden Mist ninjas around him and further away, as if he was waiting for something.

But after waiting for a long time, no one made a move.

Not to mention the aura that had disappeared into the shadows, even the Hidden Mist ninjas stood frozen in place.

"It really is a rat."

'Whirlpool' sighed softly, and instead of pressing down harder, lifted its foot and released Yagura.

As the only Hollow among the Espada to be created using points, its soul is not as murky as the other Hollows, thus possessing more humanity.

If that person asked her to kill Yagura Karatachi, she would still kill him without hesitation, but if not asked, she doesn't really like killing.

Of the four current Espada members, the one with the strongest bloodlust is "Evil Eyes," followed by "Puppet Master" who likes to play with puppets, and finally "White Fang."

Of course, if the person you're facing is an enemy...

boom! !

A deafening roar was heard.

The figure of 'Vortex' vanished from its original spot in an instant and suddenly reappeared in another location, its fist slamming into the ground without warning!

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and fragments of rock shot out!

A crater several meters in diameter was instantly formed, and the already precarious Shuiying Building in the distance finally collapsed under the impact!

However, the smoke and dust dissipated and the shockwave subsided.

'Vortex' stood still and slowly withdrew his fist, his gaze sweeping over the deep crater he had blasted out.

No one is empty.

There was no carnage as expected, and certainly no enemy corpses.

She could clearly sense that, just a split second before she threw her punch, that malicious probing vanished completely.

"Hmph, they ran away quickly."

'Vortex' snorted coldly and ignored them, his gaze returning to the unconscious Yagura in the distance, and the 'Hollow' that Kimimaro had transformed into, and he raised his hand and swung out a black chain.

Two chains wrapped around Yagura's body, dragging him up from the rubble, while several others shot towards the distant 'Hollow', binding it tightly!

Yagura Karatachi and 'Hollow' were pulled in front of him. 'Uzumaki's' gaze fell on Yagura Karatachi, and he reached out a hand and touched Yagura Karatachi's forehead.

hum!
A powerful spiritual energy spread out, and Yagura's tightly closed eyelids twitched violently as the Sharingan's power was forcibly stripped away.

'Vortex' casually tossed Yagura aside and pointed a finger lightly at the void in front of him.

Oh!

A sharp sound, like cloth being torn apart, ripped open a huge, dark crack in space.

The black cavity, the passage to the void, opened wide.

Without pausing, the 'vortex' pulled on the chains binding the 'Great Hollow', dragging it like a dead dog, and stepped into the deep, silent black cavity.

Her figure, along with the 'Hollow' bound by chains, was swallowed by darkness, and the cracks in the black cavity contracted and healed, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Only the Kirigakure members remained stunned in place, along with Yagura Karatachi, who had just awakened from the illusion.
