Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 98 Mito's Collapse, Nine-Tails' Revenge (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!)

It was only at this moment that Mito suddenly realized how hideous the faces of these corpses were.

They had faces that looked like they had been re-healed from severe burns, and their bodies were pale but had irregular patterns of connective tissue.

Like vines, it coiled and grew wildly all over the face, converging at the mouth and twisting in a spiral, looking like the monster that Mito dreamed of in her childhood nightmares.

The bark of the withered trees, with its twisted bark, resembled a distorted human face.

The faces of these corpses before us resembled those of people on a tree with human faces, with blood flowing from their empty eye sockets like thick resin sap.

"You, you all..."

This sudden, bizarre, and terrifying scene, a convergence of her deepest fears, instantly left Mito's mind blank, severely impacting her will and reason.

His pupils dilated instantly with fear, and he staggered back several steps unconsciously before collapsing to the ground in a horrifying manner.

The corpses had terrifying and indifferent faces, staring at Mito with empty eye sockets.

The next moment, Mito heard the strange hissing sound again.

It turns out, they were the ones whispering to each other.

"Mito, why haven't you come back...?"

"Mito, have you forgotten your own surname...?"

"Heh heh, have you already abandoned and forgotten us...?"

"Waaaa, Mito-sama, it hurts so much, it really hurts..."

One by one, faces filled with resentment and bitterness drew closer, and the accumulated numbness, despair, pain, and anger surged toward Mito like a black tide.

A chill that made her shiver gradually crept up her spine, inch by inch, to the back of her head and the top of her head, and fear and panic piled up in her mind!

"Why didn't you kill Hiruzen Sarutobi? Why did you show mercy to the person who killed us?!"

"Mito! No, Senju Mito! You are also the executioner who killed us!"

"Mito Senju! Executioner!!"

What a strange sound it was! It was sharp and shrill, like a baby crying. The hoarse, broken voice sounded like crying, and Mito felt a resonance in his skull, as if his soul was trembling!

"No! No! I'm not!"

The howl, filled with resentment and hatred like that of a demon, made Mito turn pale and raise her hand to cover her ears.

Fear, regret, despair...

Overwhelmed by a torrent of negative emotions, she could only scream hysterically, "I didn't know! I really didn't know! I didn't kill you all, I didn't!!"

But in the next moment, countless withered arms suddenly emerged from the ashes beneath her.

Pfft! Pfft pfft!

Those withered arms gripped Mito's wrists and ankles with incredible speed, like demons!

He began to pull downwards with intense resentment, trying to drag her into the flowing ashes beneath him.

"No! I, I didn't..."

Mito struggled desperately like someone trapped in swamp, but was quickly pulled into the ashes by those withered arms.

After the last speck of ash fell softly beside her ear, Mito felt everything around her fall into a deathly silence.

"..."

She opened her mouth wide and roared, trying to defend herself, but could only hear her own heartbeat becoming increasingly rapid and clear.

All other sounds seemed to be swallowed up, as if abandoned by the whole world, and the unventable fear made her even more terrified.

The ashes that had submerged her seemed to grow cold, and a chill gradually spread to her heart, making her blood cool inch by inch. That feeling was called "death."

Just when the fear reached its limit and the chill completely eroded my heart.

Mito's power has returned.

But her will completely collapsed.

----------

"roar!!"

Five tails danced wildly behind Mito, sweeping away everything and everyone around them.

"Damn it!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was extremely grim, a resolute glint in his eyes. He pointed his Vajra Staff at Mito and growled, "Get out of here!!"

In an instant, the thickened and lengthened Ruyi rod was aimed at Mito, who had completely lost consciousness, with the intention of sending her flying into the sky.

At the same time, his chakra began to surge within him, and he clasped his hands together, about to form hand seals.

But when he looked up at the sky, he suddenly noticed that the golden light, which contained terrifying fluctuations, had dimmed and eventually dissipated.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been planning to take a gamble, was taken aback.

Why did the attack suddenly stop?

Is it just a bluff?

"No."

Inside the Sky Fortress, facing the same question from Shennong, Yun Chuan looked down and laughed, "There's no need to reveal our trump cards."

"We are the peace-loving side, so let Kurama do it himself, let Konoha feel Kurama's hatred, and let Konoha and Kurama hate each other."

"Fear is the beginning of chaos."

As soon as she finished speaking, the crimson chakra around Mito coalesced into a giant fox head.

"roar!!"

It bared its teeth at Hiruzen Sarutobi, its vertical pupils revealing not only brutal hatred but also a hint of vengeful pleasure.

Immediately, under Hiruzen Sarutobi's terrified gaze, he swallowed the Tailed Beast Ball into his mouth.

The next moment, the terrifying power was compressed and burst forth from the gaping maw like a torrent, transforming into a heat wave and a fiery red glow that swept across Konoha ahead!

The scorching flames shot into the sky, completely engulfing the golden lightning above!

It roared and boomed with a deafening sonic boom, the winds whipping up from both sides swallowing everything up.

The buildings that stood in its way were reduced to yellow earth and charred remains, while the humans were reduced to a thick, crimson mist that exploded outwards.

It left an incredibly terrifying scar on the ground of Konoha, a cross-section through which countless streets could be seen.

It was as if a god reached out from the sky and greedily dug out a large chunk from the Leaf Village.

Using the spot where Mito stood as the dividing line, everything behind her was intact, but in front of her was only a dark expanse of scorched earth.

Ultimately, the flames struck the majestic and massive Fire Shadow Rock at the farthest point.

boom!!!

The most powerful explosion roared down, instantly blowing away the surrounding streets and houses, and a huge mushroom cloud rose up!

"No……"

The light cast Hiruzen Sarutobi's long shadow on the ground, his face now completely drained of color, staring blankly at the place where smoke and fire were rising.

The light enveloped the entire Leaf Village, causing him to feel an uncontrollable, suffocating fear, both physically and mentally.

Immediately, he stiffly turned his head to look at Mito in the distance, or perhaps Kurama, and let out a hysterical howl: "Mito!!"

At this moment, countless people looked up at Konoha, witnessing a horrifying scene.
