It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

"Gold dust, the grand funeral of gold dust!" Looking at Zhixue in the distance, Luosha, flying in mid-air, made a triangle with his hands, and his chakra transformed into a huge amount of gold dust, like a golden river trying to capsize Zhixue's drifting little boat in the torrent.

"I'm sorry, you made the wrong choice." As she watched the high-density gold dust surging around her, the three tomoe in Zhi Xue's pupils gradually merged together, revealing a kaleidoscope pattern of snowflake shuriken.

The cyan-green chakra emanating from his body blocked the surrounding gold dust from entering.

"This chakra!" Rasa's expression changed as he sensed that even the slightest bit of his gold dust couldn't penetrate it.

How does this guy still have so much chakra after fighting for so long? He didn't even feel this strained when he was suppressing Shukaku in the village.

After Zhixue unleashed her chakra, an extremely dense amount of chakra gathered and gradually took shape. A skeletal half-giant, surrounded by gold dust, revealed its crimson gaze to Luosha.

Feeling the death stare of Susanoo, a chill ran from Rasa's feet straight up to the top of his head.

An unimaginable pressure filled the heart of this leader who had once suppressed the tailed beasts and was infamous throughout the ninja world.

"Since you insist on attacking my academy and taking away all my efforts over the past month, are you really prepared to face my counterattack?" Zhi Xue closed her eyes, and the Susanoo that enveloped her body underwent a new change.

Chakra-infused flesh and blood filled the skull, and a thick layer of armor covered the Susanoo's body. Its ever-expanding form broke through the sand gold's restraints in an instant.

A pair of enormous wings stretched out from behind the Tengu giant, its form obscuring the sky and the winds it whipped up swept across the desert, stirring up clouds of dust. Compared to this, the gold dust that Rasa had previously used was only slightly longer.

“What kind of power is this…” Rasa looked up at the Tengu, which was twice the size of Shukaku, and his expression was one of utter horror.

Is this suffocating feeling, like facing a mountain, really a power that ordinary people can wield?

Chapter 171, Splitting Mountains and Cracking Seas

"So, it's finally willing to show the true power of Susanoo?" Obito, who was still watching from the sidelines, put his hands behind his back and looked at the Susanoo that was gradually growing larger in the distance. His brow relaxed.

If even a complete Susanoo is kept hidden, he's starting to worry that Zhixue might be hiding many things from the organization at a deeper level. Of course, it's also possible that she's simply too lazy to talk about it, and that she got angry because the Kazekage wanted to ruin her hard-earned work.

He considered himself to know Zhixue fairly well. She was the type of person who would rather lie down than stand, unless something fun or profitable came up; otherwise, she'd look like she didn't want to work all day. It was quite rare for her to have reached her full potential this time. If only the Sand Village could just use their words to force out the other Mangekyou Sharingan.

Two seconds later, Obito, seeing the Susanoo's size still expanding, also sensed something was wrong.

"The complete Susanoo... is it this big? Its size is almost comparable to the Gedo Mazo!"

Obito stared dumbfounded at the blue-green Susanoo's outstretched wings in the distance. It was estimated to be over 120 meters tall. Giant summoning beasts similar to the Split Dog were about 40 to 50 meters tall, and most tailed beasts were also close to 50 meters tall. Even Konoha's Nine-Tails in its perfect form was only 80 or 90 meters tall. This power was truly too overwhelming.

Looking at the giant tengu in the distance, Obito began to wonder if Nagato could defeat this behemoth.

While Obito was still worrying about himself, the many Sand Ninja on the battlefield looked at the Susanoo that blotted out the sky and seemed capable of collapsing mountains and filling seas with a wave of its hand. Their faces turned pale and they felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Even without saying a word, they could feel the despair and fear that permeated the air.

"Is this thing... really a power that a ninja can control?"

Chiyo, a highly experienced elder of Sunagakure, was also horrified when she saw the complete Susanoo before her.

Having lived to this age, she had never witnessed such terrifying power that could crush someone simply by facing it; it was beyond the realm of ninjutsu.

Luo Sha stood atop the sand-gold cloud, looking at the tengu staring back at him. A deep sense of powerlessness over such a colossal creature welled up in his heart.

Its size is nearly three times that of Shukaku, and the nearby mountains look like mere mounds in comparison.

Standing within the hexagonal crystal at the head of Susanoo, Zhixue was somewhat surprised to feel an indescribable sense of excitement emanating from her body.

So this is what the complete Susanoo feels like? The terrifying power surging from her body made Zhixue suddenly have a thought of destroying everything, but she quickly suppressed it.

In the distance was the trade route she had built earlier. If she accidentally cut it in half, it would be a real pain. However, she did understand why Ban kept calling her "Hassi Hot Mom".

With such immense power, he viewed others as mere ants, as if he could crush a whole bunch of them with a single step. In that era, it seemed that only Hashirama possessed the strength to fight him. And in the process of fighting, he enjoyed the fierce spirit of the strong that belonged to the Uchiha clan.

Seeing Luo Sha's surprised expression dozens of meters away, Zhi Xue didn't say anything more.

You want to destroy my academy and take over my forest? Fine, let's see if you can get around the perimeter of the complete Susanoo first.

Zhi Xue used her Sharingan to observe the distant mountain range, then manipulated Susanoo to reach behind her and draw two swords, each seventy or eighty meters long, from the Tengu's wings. She then held the two swords horizontally in front of her, and a bluish-green light covered the blades.

"What is she trying to do?" At this moment, Luo Sha, who was watching Zhi Xue's movements, also had a very bad feeling as he looked at the twin swords that Wu Tian Gou had drawn.

hum!

The instant Susanoo unleashed its sword energy, a powerful gust of air surged forth, like a tsunami crashing in the deep sea, sending everyone flying. Rasa, who was standing in the air, was also knocked to the ground by the gust of air, rolling several times before using Gold Sand to firmly anchor himself to the sand.

A deafening roar echoed from afar, accompanied by a powerful earthquake. All the ninjas present witnessed a scene they would never forget.

In the gloomy world filled with hurricanes and yellow sand, a few distant, faintly visible mountain peaks seemed to flash with a dazzling white light at their waists. Then, accompanied by a violent tremor of the ground, the mountains within a fan-shaped area dozens of kilometers ahead were neatly cut open, and the mountainside filled with raging flames at the cut point lost its connection with the earth.

Seeing how perfectly the attack area in the distance avoided the trade route, Zhi Xue couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up.

Chiyo used the puppets of the Chikamatsu Ten to firmly fix herself to the ground. Looking through the gaps at the neatly cut mountain peaks in the distance, her pupils contracted rapidly, as if she could hardly believe what she was seeing.

"This kind of power... I'm afraid only the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha could contend with it, right? How could Sunagakure be so unlucky as to run into such a monster..."

So all that fighting with them before was just a game; this was her true strength that she hadn't shown all along…

"Cough cough cough, cough cough!"

"What...what happened?"

At this moment, many Sand Ninja who had been buried in the sand along with the airflow looked at the neatly cut mountain peaks in the distance, and their hearts were pounding wildly along with the earth. Even those ninjas who had previously held onto the hope that Susanoo might just be a showpiece, saw this scene and their hopes, like flames, were instantly extinguished.

Standing more than ten kilometers away, Obito felt the fierce sandstorm blowing in the air and also entered a blurred state, silently looking at the distant mountain peaks that had been cut off.

Even with the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo, could Nagato truly contend with such power? If it were a healthy Gedo Nagato, he might still have a fighting chance.

Obito, seeing the obvious outcome in the distance, closed his eyes and used Kamui to leave.

"As it stands, there's nothing more to observe. The outcome is already decided. Why don't we go find the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and have some fun..." After taking one last look at the blue-green Tengu, Obito finally left the spectator stands.

Perhaps we should properly teach Nagato the skills left behind by Madara in the future. After all, he also uses Madara's Rinnegan, and the Rinnegan is evolved from the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. So it shouldn't be too much to ask that Pain can also use the Complete Susanoo, right?

Chapter 172, Withdrawal of Troops

In the desert, after slicing off a distant mountain peak with her twin swords, Zhixue reattached them to her wings. Inside the hexagonal crystal, Zhixue watched as a group of Sand Village ninjas were blasted away by the sword energy below. She then gradually dissipated her Susanoo and gently landed on the ground.

Luo Sha emerged from the gold dust buried by the yellow sand and his expression changed as he looked at the petite figure treading on the sand in the distance.

Feeling the gusts of sand blowing in the air, Zhi Xue took out a trench coat from her system space and put it on before walking up to Luo Sha and saying, "Lord Feng Ying, if your army insists on trampling on the academy I have worked so hard to build, then I'm afraid that the sword strike just now will have hit more than just a mountain. Moreover, the academy I run is a legal business that has been officially approved by the local authorities. You should know these things."

Slowly getting up from the ground, Luo Sha looked at the three tomoe that had returned to Zhi Xue's pupils and finally lowered his head.

"We lost. The winner takes all, and the loser is condemned. We have no reason to say anything more. But I still want to ask, are you from the Uchiha clan?"

Looking at the crimson hue in Zhi Xue's pupils, Luo Sha recalled the mountain range that Zhi Xue had previously cleaved open, and couldn't help but shudder.

"I am indeed a member of the Uchiha clan, but not from Konoha, so there's no need to worry."

Hearing what Zhixue said, Luosha felt a weight lifted from his heart. Since it wasn't Konoha's power, it was still good news, at least. It shouldn't be like decades ago when Konoha dominated the entire ninja world. At least this little guy didn't seem to have any desire to conquer the ninja world.

Seeing that Shisue didn't seem to intend to say anything, Rasa cupped his hands in greeting and then led the 500 Sand Ninja troops back to Sunagakure.

They really couldn't afford to mess with this guy from the south. Let him fight if he wants; they just didn't want a tengu to suddenly appear in their village one day.

After wisely leaving Sunagakure, Zhixue breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the academy, where she began making new plans.

On the very night that Zhixue returned to the academy, undercurrents were stirring in the most prosperous city of the Wind Kingdom.

"My lord, this is inappropriate. You are a symbol of the nation. If others discover that you are having a stand-in handle state affairs..."

In the mansion of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, atop a magnificent castle, the steward was still trying to persuade the Daimyo not to leave so easily, but the Daimyo only became more furious upon hearing this.

Pushing the chattering steward aside, the daimyo of the Land of Wind, his face contorted with rage, said viciously, "I'm merely going out to check on the lives of my people; it's none of your business how a servant like you behaves!"

"My lord, this is the Daimyo's residence, surrounded by the bustling capital of the Land of Wind. Your army is stationed in a camp 10 kilometers away, and there are thousands of ninjas under your command within the city. Not even a rat could possibly sneak in," the steward continued, trying to persuade the Daimyo.

However, just as the daimyo impatiently kicked him to the ground, the city lights suddenly flickered and went out, and darkness instantly enveloped the daimyo's mansion. Just as the steward was wondering which clueless fellow had neglected to check the electrical system,

Bright moonlight shone through the clouds and into the window, and as Daming listened to the howling wind outside, his face suddenly turned pale.

Have they already gotten here so quickly?

Poof—

There seemed to be a faint, lingering smell of blood in the air.

"Help! Help!" In this empty room, without the protection of the light, everything seemed to turn pale. The wind blowing from outside sounded like the wails of ghosts, and the curtains outside the window that kept hitting the wall sounded like demons from hell, playing a march representing judgment along with the terrifying howl of the wind.

Daimyo's voice seemed to echo continuously in the room, gradually merging with the sound of the wind. In the darkness, the butler who had been kicked to the ground earlier remained motionless. When Daimyo crawled down and looked at him by the moonlight, all he could see was a pair of unblinking eyes and bloodstains on the luxurious carpet.

In that instant, Daimyo's pupils dilated. Under the bright moonlight, a long shadow stretched across the pristine white floor.

Like a ghost appearing out of nowhere, the masked man had already arrived behind the Daimyo. Under the crimson light of his single eye, Obito slowly raised his katana, which gleamed with a cold light.

"Xinei..."

Pfft!

……

After Zhixue resolved the issues between the Daimyo and Sunagakure, his life became much more stable. When there was something to do, he would return to the Land of Rain to complete a mission with Juzo Biwa. When he had nothing to do, he would sit alone in the academy or forest and talk with the locals about many interesting topics.

Under Shiki's guidance, Gaara gradually emerged from his shadow, while Yashamaru, with the Kazekage's consent, stayed by Gaara's side, abandoned his assassination plan, and cleared up the misunderstanding between the two.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye. At some point, a legend suddenly spread throughout the ninja world that a ninja even more powerful than Hanzo the Salamander was living in seclusion in the desert. It was said that as long as one could find his figure in that desert, one could learn the immortal technique of moving mountains and filling seas.

However, Zhi Xue, who was still sitting on the swing in the academy listening to the students chatting, just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Sigh, a year has passed in the blink of an eye. I've been slacking off every day, and time seems to fly by." Looking at the newly planted willow trees in the academy, Zhi Xue took out the calendar and looked at it carefully.

"I'm almost an adult now..." Although she was already 16, the prime of her youth, Zhixue sighed as she looked at her height, which remained at 1.49 meters.

She's already this age, and not only has her chest not grown, but she's only grown a tiny bit taller. She's practically useless. If she didn't have connections or influence, no one would want a short, gluttonous little girl like her even if she were thrown on the street. (Annoyed)

Ding! The host's height is fixed. Please face reality. Besides, being a child who never grows up is actually a wish in many people's hearts.

Upon hearing the system's explanation, Zhi Xue lay down on the swing, looking as if she had nothing left to strive for in life.

She has now accumulated 300 million in her pocket, and along the way, she has spent nearly 100 million on building orphanages and branch schools in various places. She is now somewhat at a loss for what to do. Gaara has taken over her position in recent years and has begun to handle the affairs of the academy.

Of course, Yashamaru is there to assist him. After all, Gaara is only 8 years old. If Shiyu were to hire a young boy to do the work just to be lazy, it would make her feel extremely guilty.

"Forget it, I'll just take a nap when I encounter difficulties." Zhi Xue glanced at her watch and saw that it was 2 p.m. She stretched and stood up from the swing. Just as she was about to go back to take a nap, the ring on her hand suddenly emitted a chakra reaction.

At the same time, the system's long-lost voice resounded in my mind.

Ding! A crisis has been detected. An emergency system task has been issued.

Upon hearing the system mention the urgent mission, a strange expression flashed across Zhi Xue's face.

With her current strength, what kind of crisis could possibly arise?

System emergency task name: "Crisis of Time".

Mission Description: According to the system's perception, it appears that members of the Otsutsuki clan from the future used a relic tool to travel back to the childhood of "Uchiha Shisei" in an attempt to eliminate her. The host is requested to use the power of the Dragon Vein to return to the past, stop her evil deeds, and try to keep the world's course unchanged. During the journey, the system will help the host adjust the power of spacetime and locate the relevant time based on the traces.
