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

Chapter 241 Samehada, the Greatsword!

Uchiha Kagami finally understood why the Three-Tails Jinchuriki had acted so fearlessly in the battle just now.

Because the other party had no intention of returning to Kirigakure alive!

On the battlefield between Konoha and Kirigakure, he directly unsealed the Three-Tails and then used the rampaging wild tailed beast to destroy Konoha's defenses.

This is the true strategic plan of Kirigakure.

What about Samehada, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Hidden Mist Army... they were all there to serve the liberation of the Three-Tails!

The life force of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki in Kirigakure was already nearing its limit.

Even without the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki was destined to die in the near future.

Rather than letting the Three-Tails Jinchuriki die silently within the Hidden Mist Village.

It would be better to let him "shine" on the front lines, using his last breath to contribute to the growth and strengthening of the Fog Village.

Looking down at the Three-Tails roaring to the sky, Uchiha Kagami felt extremely troubled.

The power that the Three-Tails Jinchuriki displayed in his fully transformed Tailed Beast state was already formidable.

However, if the Three-Tails were to personally participate in the battle, the power it could unleash would only be stronger than the former, not weaker!

"To deal with the Three-Tails, should we use Fire Release or Genjutsu?"

Uchiha Kagami's mind raced as he considered corresponding battle strategies.

However, the three-tailed isobu below did not give him any time to hesitate.

As one of the two tailed beasts that were "assigned (sold)" to Kirigakure many years ago.

The Three-Tails was also sealed within the Jinchūriki of Kirigakure for a very long time.

Like most tailed beasts, the Three-Tails was filled with intense resentment and rage.

Finally breaking free from the seal within the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Isobu's first instinct was naturally to unleash its fury upon the densely packed ninjas surrounding it.

The three-tailed creature retracted its head, limbs, and even its three long tails into its shell, arched its entire body, and used its hard shell to cover its whole body, rolling and crashing towards the most densely populated area of ​​the surrounding crowd like a wheel hub.

"Shadow Caress!"

Both the Hidden Mist Ninja and the Leaf Village Ninja were within the attack range of the Three-Tails, Isobu.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kagami, who was flying in the sky, didn't bother to think about whether it was "Fire Release" or "Genjutsu".

He hurriedly manipulated Susanoo, causing it to plummet heavily from the sky to block the path of the Three-Tailed Isobu's attack.

boom!

The collision between Susanoo and the three-tailed Isobu produced another earth-shattering roar, with rolling shockwaves spreading outwards, as if a super gale had been unleashed.

The impact force that the Three-Tailed Isobu can unleash when it returns to its wild state is far greater than before.

Under the violent impact of "Shadow Touch," deep cracks appeared on the surface of Susanoo, and the entire body was pushed backward.

Uchiha Kagami spared no expense in using his chakra, continuously channeling the vast power of his Mangekyou Sharingan into Susanoo to restore its damage and add to its strength.

Supported by Uchiha Kagami's seemingly limitless ocular power, his Susanoo and the Three-Tails Isobu were completely locked in a stalemate halfway through, preventing the latter from charging forward any further.

Seeing that the spinning speed of the three-tailed Isobu was gradually slowing down, it was about to return to its normal state.

Just then, Suigetsu Hozuki, who had just dodged to the side with his greatsword Samehada, charged forward again with his special ninja sword.

"Shark's ear! Eat it!"

With a maniacal grin on his face, Suigetsu Hozuki swung his greatsword Samehada heavily in his right hand, slashing it viciously at... Susanoo's calf.

Although the Samehada sword's position during the cleaving attack was somewhat awkward, it did not stop it from gulping down the Yin Release chakra used to maintain Susanoo.

The power struggle between Uchiha Kagami and the Three-Tails Isobu was evenly matched.

At this moment, he was suddenly attacked by Samehada, and the Yin Release chakra that Uchiha Kagami used to maintain Susanoo was constantly being devoured and plundered by Samehada.

The bright yellow Susanoo seemed to have been opened up, and its enormous size shrank at a visible speed.

In contrast, Samehada's blade grew increasingly swollen and ferocious.

Suigetsu Hozuki transferred some of the chakra that Samehada had consumed into himself to restore the chakra he had consumed during the recent battle.

The power of Susanoo weakened, and apart from Kagami Uchiha, Isobu of the Three-Tails felt it most clearly.

Although the Three-Tails did not understand why the opponent's power had suddenly weakened.

However, it stopped casting "Shadow Smile" and reverted to its giant turtle form.

Immediately afterwards, the Three-Tailed Isobu raised its enormous gray hand and struck directly at Susanoo, which was right in front of it.

"Coral Palm!"

boom!

Kagami Uchiha, who was originally intending to resist the Three-Tails' attack, took a solid hit from the Three-Tails' palm strike, causing his massive Susanoo to tremble violently.

However, the attacks of the Three-Tailed Isobu were not merely physical.

At the point where the Three-Tails' gray giant hand made contact with the upper body of Susanoo, pieces of grayish-white coral grew and expanded rapidly in all directions.

In just a few breaths, the coral spread to most of Susanoo's body, even affecting the wings on its back.

Uchiha Kagami manipulated Susanoo, attempting to get rid of the strange coral.

However, the sturdiness of this grayish-white coral far exceeded his expectations.

For a while, Susanoo was unable to break free from the control of the "Coral Palm"!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Suigetsu Hozuki continued to use the special properties of his Samehada sword to devour the Yin Release chakra of Susanoo, as if he would never be satisfied.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kagami decisively released the maintenance of Susanoo, and simply floated in mid-air in his own Edo Tensei form through the special effect of "Yatagara".

"Big Sword Samekar!" 』

Uchiha Kagami glanced down at Suigetsu Hobutsuki from the corner of his eye.

If it were only Suigetsu Hobutaki and Samehada.

With his various methods, Uchiha Kagami could easily send this member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, along with his sword, directly to meet the Sage of Six Paths!

However, in this battle, Suigetsu Hozuki and Samehada played only a supporting role.

The one who truly rivaled Uchiha Kagami was the Three-Tails.

Wild tailed beasts are terrifying enemies that ordinary ninjas simply cannot deal with.

Uchiha Kagami would never let the Three-Tails go, so he turned his firepower to deal with Suigetsu Hobutaki.

However, once he concentrates his efforts on dealing with the Three-Tails, Suigetsu Hozuki and Samehada will continue to cause him trouble...

Uchiha Kagami felt as if he had become a frog thrown into slowly boiling water.

Allowing the Three-Tails to run rampant and focusing the attack on the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would definitely inflict heavy losses on the Konoha forces.

Focusing on the Three-Tails while letting Suigetsu Hozuki run rampant will only delay the Three-Tails' attack.

Uchiha Kagami is capable of using the Shadow Clone Technique and even the advanced version, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

However, regardless of the type of clone, it will cause the "equal distribution" of one's own chakra.

Uchiha Kagami's absolute strength was no match for the Three-Tails in its wild state.

Once his chakra is weakened, it will definitely become more difficult to resist the Three-Tails.

Uchiha Kagami was caught in a dilemma, but he did not forget his main mission.

Intercept the three-tailed beast!

Uchiha Kagami, flying in the sky, formed hand seals and released a ninjutsu once again towards the Three-Tails and Suigetsu Hozuki below.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"

Uchiha Kagami released all the fire chakra within his body, unleashing four extremely fast, blazing fire dragons that attacked the Three-Tails Isobu and Suigetsu Hozuki from multiple directions below.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique" was originally Madara Uchiha's private collection of fire release techniques, which seemed to be four "Great Dragon Fire Techniques" released at the same time.

However, after seizing this Fire Release ninjutsu from Madara Uchiha some time ago, Kagami Uchiha has successfully mastered this Fire Release ninjutsu, which has a difficulty level of A.

At this moment, under the control of Uchiha Kagami, the four fire dragons formed by "Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique" attacked two of the three-tailed Isobu and two of the other two Suigetsu Hozuki.

They were faced with four fire dragons descending from the sky.

The Three-Tailed Isobu simply retracted its head and limbs back into its shell and curled up its body again.

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon doesn't have that kind of "natural defense" and can only try to tough it out.

"No! This fire-style ninjutsu is too fast! There's no time to form hand seals!"

Suigetsu Hozuki tightened his grip on Samehada, the greatsword in his hand, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Samehada! You've just consumed so much chakra, now it's your turn to shine!"

"Squeak squeak squeak—"

The greatsword Samehada emitted a sharp, shrill sound.

However, Suigetsu Hozuki ignored his ninja sword's protests and resolutely wielded this enormous special ninja sword to resist the two attacking fire dragons.

The two fire dragons struck the shell of the Three-Tailed Isobu, only creating a huge burst of sparks before disappearing into the air, without even leaving a burn mark on the shell.

The remaining two fire dragons slammed into the deep blue blade of Samehada.

boom!

The blazing fire dragon, carrying a powerful momentum, directly scorched and blackened the sharp, bristle-like outer layer of Samehada's skin, filling the air with a faint smell of burning.

"squeak--"

Although Samehada was already trying to absorb the fire chakra formed by the "Dragon Flame Song Technique" and defend itself with the chakra it had just absorbed.

However, under the raging flames of the two great fire dragons, the blade of Samehada continued to shrink rapidly.

However, Suigetsu Hozuki, protected below by Samehada, successfully avoided the damage from this fire-style attack.

Uchiha Kagami keenly noticed the shrinkage of Samehada and was planning to press his advantage by unleashing another advanced fire jutsu to send this special ninja sword off the battlefield in one fell swoop.

But at this moment, Mio Isobu took action again.

Enduring the attacks of two fire dragons seemed to have no effect on the Three-Tailed Isobu.

It curled its body into a tight ball, intending to continue charging forward and crush all those annoying ninjas into a bloody pulp!

Uchiha Kagami sighed slightly, and could only temporarily abandon the use of Fire Release, releasing Susanoo once again in an attempt to intercept the Three-Tails.

Just then.

A rumbling sound drew closer from afar.

Nara Rinka and the Five-Tailed King Kokuo arrive at the Hidden Mist battlefield!

First update.

The second update will be after 1 a.m.

It should be the third watch of the night today.
