I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 240 Susanoo VS Three-Tails!

Southeast of the Land of Tang.

Under the cold moonlight, the ninja forces of Konoha and Kirigakure are fighting each other here.

Located at the very heart of the battlefield are two colossal figures that would intimidate even ordinary ninjas.

Uchiha Kagami had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. His bright yellow Susanoo stood proudly on the land of the Land of Hot Water, with a pair of jet-black wings growing from its back and a strangely shaped spiral spear in its right hand.

When a person's size reaches a certain level, even the simplest moves can unleash terrifying power.

Uchiha Kagami, riding his Susanoo, thrust the spiraling spear forward with tremendous force. The tall spear, formed from Yin Release chakra, tore through the air, creating a sharp and piercing whistling sound.

But standing opposite Susanoo was a gigantic creature whose size was in no way inferior to the former.

Its entire body is covered by a sturdy, rough gray shell, the surface of which is covered with large and small, ferocious spikes. Three thick tails trail behind it, and its overall shape is very much like a mutated gray tortoise.

The Three-Tailed Beast, Isobu, is exclusively belonging to Kirigakure!

A more accurate description would be the Three-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure who has entered a fully transformed Tailed Beast state!

Faced with the Susanoo's spiraling spear thrust, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki skillfully controlled his enormous body, retracting his head and forelimbs into his shell, and using his hard and sturdy carapace to defend against the attack.

Boom—Sizzle—

Susanoo's spiraling spear pierced the Three-Tails' hard shell, immediately unleashing a deafening roar and an invisible shockwave that spread outwards.

Immediately afterwards, the two behemoths clashed in the center of the battlefield, their spiral spears rubbing and colliding with the three-tailed shells, creating a series of sharp, ear-piercing friction sounds.

"Is the Three-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure courting death?!"

Uchiha Kagami was inside Susanoo, his brows furrowed tightly beneath his mask.

"While I'm under the Impure World Reincarnation technique, I can release my chakra without restraint, but for this person, as a Jinchūriki, to release chakra so recklessly... it's as if they don't value their own life at all!"

According to Uchiha Kagami's judgment, even if the Three-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure has extraordinary talent and tenacious life, he definitely cannot last long in this fully transformed Tailed Beast state where he squanders chakra without any restraint!

However, Uchiha Kagami was also well aware that he could not entangle himself with the Three-Tails Jinchuriki for too long at this time.

While manipulating Susanoo to engage in a fierce struggle with the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Uchiha Kagami observed the battlefield situation from the corner of his eye.

When they caught a glimpse of that strangely shaped, deep blue behemoth, resembling a pufferfish, rapidly approaching them.

Without hesitation, Uchiha Kagami flapped the black wings on the back of his Susanoo and flew directly into the sky using the eye technique "Yatagara" of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Looking down at the massive, deep blue creature below, Uchiha Kagami silently uttered the true name of this special ninja sword that resembled a living being.

"Big Sword Samekar!" 』

Compared to Samehada's massive size, the orange-haired giant holding its hilt looked strangely petite.

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Suigetsu Hozuki.

As one of the seven ninja swords passed down through generations in Kirigakure, Samehada possesses a very special ability to absorb chakra.

Samehada's ability is not only manifested in absorbing the opponent's non-attribute chakra.

Even the chakra of the escape techniques after their nature has changed, and even the corresponding ninjutsu, can be absorbed by Samehada.

Not only that.

Samehada, the greatsword, can also return the absorbed chakra to the wielder, thereby enhancing the wielder's physical recovery ability.

Facing an Edo Tensei resurrected being like Uchiha Kagami, who possesses almost unlimited chakra.

Suigetsu Hozuki and his Samehada sword can be used to effectively counterattack.

In this localized war, the mission of Suigetsu Hobuki and his sword Samehada was to work with the Three-Tails Jinchuriki to delay Uchiha Kagami and create conditions for the other Hidden Mist ninja.

However, it must be acknowledged that Samehada doesn't consume just any kind of chakra.

This is not just because it is a bit "picky".

Furthermore, things like Fire Release Chakra can be eaten, but they will burn your "mouth".

During the previous battle, Uchiha Kagami nearly fell into Samehada's trap.

Both the Yin Release chakra of Susanoo and the Water Release chakra of Water Release ninjutsu are in Samehada's "recipe".

However, after several tentative exchanges, Uchiha Kagami quickly figured out the weakness of Samehada—Fire Release!

Uchiha Kagami looked down at the figure below, his hands immediately coming together to form a hand seal.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Supported by Uchiha Kagami's chakra, a massive inferno descended from the sky, its dazzling light illuminating almost half the sky and dispelling the gloomy night.

Kagami Uchiha was a student of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and was especially skilled in Water Release ninjutsu.

However, this does not mean that Uchiha Kagami was a pure water-style ninja.

As an Uchiha, how could he not know Fire Release ninjutsu?

"That trick again!"

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Suigetsu Hozuki, looked at the flames falling from the sky and waved Samehada in his hand with great displeasure.

"I hate Fire Release! Samehada too!"

Uchiha Kagami's "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation" descended too quickly.

Under normal circumstances, Suigetsu Hozuki could only rely on the special abilities of Samehada to tough it out.

However, at this time, it wasn't just Suigetsu Hozuki who was responsible for fighting Uchiha Kagami.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki gazed at the sea of flames that almost filled half the sky. He also manipulated the Three-Tails' mouth in its fully transformed tailed beast state, spitting out an enormous ball of water at the flames in the sky.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

The B-rank Water Release ninjutsu released while in full Tailed Beast form had an astonishing effect.

The giant water sphere, rising against the current, collided directly with the raging sea of fire falling from the sky, and the collision of water and fire immediately caused a violent upheaval.

boom!

With the continuous supply of chakra from Uchiha Kagami and the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation" and "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique" intertwined and collided continuously in mid-air. One second the flames evaporated the water, and the next second the water extinguished the flames.

The incredibly dense steam spread across the entire battlefield as the water and fire dissipated.

Uchiha Kagami knew very well that he could not allow the water vapor to spread.

Fighting in the mist is the specialty of the Hidden Mist Ninja.

In the dense fog, the Konoha ninjas would only have their vision impaired and their strength reduced.

Therefore, when the water vapor barely concealed the Three-Tails Jinchuriki in his fully transformed tailed beast state, Uchiha Kagami decisively withdrew the "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation" technique and then formed hand seals again to refine water chakra.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

A thin column of water was released by Uchiha Kagami, carrying a sharp aura capable of splitting gold and severing jade, cutting straight towards the spot where Suigetsu Hozuki and Samehada had just stood.

Surrounded by thick fog, Suigetsu Hobutsuki keenly heard the sounds of an attack coming from the sky.

He cursed under his breath and immediately dodged to the side with his greatsword Samehada.

Samehada, the greatsword, can indeed absorb water-style chakra.

However, just like absorbing fire-style chakra would cause the flames to burn Samehada, the greatsword.

Does Samehada want to absorb the chakra of "Water Release: Water Severing Wave"?

Before it can be absorbed, it will be scraped off by the cutting damage of "Water Release: Water Severing Wave"!

As the current wielder of Samehada, Suigetsu Hobuki is very familiar with the characteristics of his ninja sword.

Uchiha Kagami, who was flying in the sky, was not sure whether his "Water Release: Water Severing Wave" had hit Suigetsu Hobutaki.

Although his Mangekyou Sharingan is powerful, it does not possess the ability to "see through fog".

Uchiha Kagami simply manipulated "Water Release: Water Severing Wave" to continue attacking the Three-Tails Jinchuriki who was descending.

Clang clang—

The high-pressure water jet created by "Water Release: Water Severing Wave" struck the massive Three-Tails with remarkable ease.

However, the collision between the high-pressure water gun and the hard shell produced a sound similar to the collision of metal.

The "Water Release: Water Severing Wave," which could easily cut through the earth, was unable to break through the Three-Tails' hard shell.

Using this peculiar sound, Uchiha Kagami successfully locked onto the enemy's target location and began using "Water Release: Water Severing Wave" to launch a pinpoint attack.

While "Water Release: Water Severing Wave" cannot break through the Three-Tails' turtle shell defense, it can cause an astonishing chakra consumption to the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

After all, the one fighting against Uchiha Kagami at this moment is not the real Three-Tails, but the Kirigakure Jinchuriki whose body is sealed with the Three-Tails!

He felt his chakra rapidly draining away like water being released from a dam, and a sense of emptiness spreading from his limbs to his brain.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure knew very well that his own life force was about to come to an end.

He recalled the instructions given to him by the Third Mizukage before their parting.

A final trace of longing flashed in the eyes of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

He stopped squeezing the cells in his body and stopped mobilizing the power from the Three-Tails. Instead, he quickly withdrew the chakra of the tailed beast back into his body.

The complete tailed beast transformation disappeared, and the ferocious three-tailed beast vanished.

An old, white-haired, and frail three-tailed jinchūriki appeared in the earth.

He formed hand seals and used his last bit of chakra to forcibly break the seal of the tailed beast within his body.

In the final frenzy of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

The real Three-Tailed Isobu successfully broke free from the sealing technique of Kirigakure and descended directly onto the battlefield!

"Fully transformed into a tailed beast? No—"

Uchiha Kagami stared in disbelief at the furiously roaring tailed beast below.

"The real three-tails?"
