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

Chapter 244 Beating up the three tails!

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

The only survivor of the Hidden Mist Squad, Suigetsu Hozuki, stood stubbornly on the ravaged battlefield.

However, he was able to survive the fierce winds caused by the [Flame Fan].

He didn't rely on his robust physique, which was as imposing as that of the Akimichi clan.

It is the endless supply of chakra provided by the Samehada sword!

Previously, Suigetsu Hozuki forcibly devoured a large amount of Uchiha Kagami's Yin Release chakra using the Samehada sword, and stored most of this chakra within Samehada.

During the attack, Suigetsu Hozuki continued to alleviate his injuries by drawing chakra from his Samehada sword.

In this way, Suigetsu Fuguki did not die directly in the counterattack storm of the [Flame Fan] like Kurosuki Raiga and the other Kirigakure ninjas.

Even so.

Suigetsu Hozuki's body was still covered with cuts and lacerations of all sizes, and scarlet blood was constantly flowing out of these wounds, almost turning this elite Kirigakure Jonin into a blood-soaked figure.

Even with the help of Samehada, the greatsword, Suigetsu Hozuki was still seriously injured in the storm.

Suigetsu Hobutsuki, carrying the utterly limp Samehada sword, had only one word on his mind.

"escape!"

In the midst of the Black Shadow's Wind Release attack, in order to increase his chances of survival, Suigetsu Hozuki had almost completely exhausted the chakra contained within his Greatsword Samehada.

If the opponent were to come again, Suigetsu Fuguki didn't think he would be "lucky" enough to survive again.

And it is the primary target of the storm attack of the [Flame Fan].

The Three-Tailed Isobu survived the storm attack almost unscathed by retracting its head into its shell.

Hearing the storm subside, the Three-Tails Isobu poked its head out from the Swamp of the Dead and looked toward the Five-Tails Kokuo and the Konoha ninja.

The Fog Concealment unit was nearly wiped out.

Mitsuo Isobu didn't care about this matter at all.

All it cared about was the special fan used by the Konoha ninja opposite it.

The Tailed Beast Ball, considered the trump card of most Tailed Beasts, essentially symbolizes their maximum destructive power.

Although Isobu of the Three-Tails did not expand the Tailed Beast Ball to its maximum size in order to release it quickly, the attack power of the Tailed Beast Ball was not as strong as expected.

However, Nara Rinka successfully blocked the Tailed Beast Ball attack using only a fan.

This incident still greatly shocked Isobu Mio.

"It can absorb Tailed Beast Balls?! What's going on with this fan?!"

The enormous eyes of the Three-Tailed Isobu were fixed on the Flame Fan in Nara Rinka's hand.

"And I feel like I've seen this fan somewhere before..."

Isobu, the Three-Tails, had seen methods capable of withstanding Tailed Beast Balls before.

For example, a man named Hashirama Senju once used Wood Release ninjutsu to grab a Tailed Beast Ball...

He gripped the Tailed Beast Ball...

But in the history of the ninja world, how many people can compare to Hashirama Senju?

Several small question marks floated above the large head of the Three-Tailed Isobu.

After failing to find a solution, the Three-Tailed Isobu turned its attention to the Five-Tailed Kokuou standing to the side.

It faces enemies everywhere, and when using the Tailed Beast Ball, it needs to shorten the time as much as possible to pursue attack speed.

However, under the protection of Nara Rangsuke, the process of accumulating the Tailed Beast Ball was not disturbed or affected in the slightest.

The Tailed Beast Ball floating in front of the Five-Tails Kokuo was so large that even the Three-Tails Isobu felt somewhat uneasy.

We must stop the Five-Tails from releasing its Tailed Beast Ball!

Mio Isobu struggled desperately in the [Swamp of the Underworld].

But before that, let's get out of this swamp first...

Even for tailed beasts, the Tailed Beast Ball is an attack method that can cause huge damage.

The Three-Tails Isobu didn't want to be hit by the Five-Tails Kokuo's Tailed Beast Ball.

Once it reaches dry land, it can unleash the "Shadow Touch" technique.

At that time, whether it's fighting or running away, the Three-Tailed Isobu will have enough flexibility and mobility.

however.

【Yomi Swamp】As an earth-style ninjutsu specifically designed to restrict large creatures, its binding power is also quite astonishing.

The three-tailed isobu struggled in the wide swamp that the "Swamp of the Underworld" had transformed into, but instead of escaping, more and more of its body parts sank into the swamp.

Nara Rinkachi naturally noticed the struggle of the Three-Tailed Isobu, and he did not intend to give the giant turtle too much time to move around.

He looked up at the sky, where the thick, dark clouds cast huge shadows that almost covered the entire battlefield.

Silvery-white lightning flashed back and forth within the deep, dark clouds, accompanied by continuous rumbling thunder.

The size and intensity of this cumulonimbus cloud are almost up to the requirements for Nara Rinkaku.

However, considering the "natural physiological advantage" of the three-tailed isobu – its incredibly thick gray shell.

Nara Rangke still arranged an "insurance" arrangement.

"mirror!"

The order to take Nara away carried far across the battlefield.

"Use the largest-scale water escape technique!"

The largest-scale water escape technique?

Uchiha Kagami in the sky looked somewhat surprised.

Could it be referring to "Qize"?

However, water-style ninjutsu is ineffective against the Three-Tails...

On the battlefield, orders are paramount.

After only a slight hesitation, Uchiha Kagami proactively descended to the battlefield below, closing the distance while continuously gathering chakra in order to unleash the special eye technique of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Weeping Ze!"

In order to limit the effectiveness of the Hidden Mist Ninja's Water Release ninjutsu.

There are no natural water sources on this battlefield.

In order to achieve the ideal power of his eye technique, Uchiha Kagami poured almost all of his chakra into the Mangekyou Sharingan to enhance the attack range and scale of "Weeping Swamp".

A long, narrow water tornado was released from in front of Uchiha Kagami, blasting towards the Three-Tails Isobu, who was trapped in the Swamp of the Dead.

With a sufficient replenishment of chakra, the water tornado continued to expand and grow larger during its flight.

By the time the waterspout reached Isobu, it was large enough to completely engulf it.

boom--

A deafening roar of water erupted as a massive waterspout engulfed the Three-Tailed Isobu, its enormous form completely enveloped by the powerful current.

When attacked by "Weeping Swamp", the Three-Tailed Isobu was not alarmed but rather delighted.

As a turtle that is particularly good at swimming, the Three-Tailed Isobu has a much higher resistance to water-style ninjutsu than other elemental ninjutsu.

Uchiha Kagami's "Weeping Swamp" is an extraordinary water-style technique that can be fatal to ordinary ninjas.

But for the Three-Tailed Isobu, it was at most a refreshing shower.

Not only that.

It was affected by the "Weeping Swamp" of Uchiha Kagami.

The size of Yomi-numa in Nara is constantly shrinking.

Mio Isobu clearly felt the binding force from the swamp weaken.

It struggled again, trying to climb out of the swamp.

But at that moment, Nara Rinka's attack also arrived.

The moment when Uchiha Kagami's "Weeping Swamp" covered the Three-Tails Isobu.

Nara Rinka leaped back onto the head of the Five-Tailed King, raised one hand to the sky, and continuously guided the endless lightning in the cumulonimbus clouds.

Just as Mio Isobu was about to break free from the area of ​​[Yomi Swamp].

【Qilin】!

Nara Rinka decisively swung his hand down, commanding the lightning in the sky, transforming this natural power into a lifelike thunder unicorn.

"roar--"

At the moment of its birth, the Qilin let out a deafening roar that pierced through the clouds and shattered rocks.

Amidst the dazzling lightning, the Kirin descended directly from the sky with unparalleled momentum and speed, striking the three-tailed Isobu, which was covered by "Weeping Swamp," with pinpoint accuracy.

Rumble!!

The dazzling lightning illuminated almost the entire world, and the incredibly powerful electric current spread indiscriminately, bombarding the surrounding ground along with the water tornado formed by "Weeping Swamp." Each current was enough to kill an ordinary ninja instantly.

The three-tailed isobu, who was in the "Weeping Marsh", was the first to be affected.

Under the relentless bombardment of lightning, the earth around the Three-Tailed Isobu rapidly charred and cracked, its massive size making it the perfect target for the electric current.

A large amount of lightning gathered on the body of the Three-Tailed Isobu, turning the "water turtle" into an "electric turtle".

Meanwhile, the nearby Suigetsu Hozuki, also affected by the Kirin, lost its life force without any trace of its presence.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were completely wiped out after this battle!

Uchiha Kagami and the other Konoha ninjas looked at the center of the battlefield, at the lightning Kirin that had descended from the sky, and at the Three-Tails Isobu that was completely subdued by the lightning Kirin. They gained a deeper understanding of the power of the Dark Shadow.

Even the legendary God of Ninjas is probably no more than this...

As a large amount of current leaked out, the size of the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky continued to shrink.

Wait until the last wisp of lightning from the [Qilin] disappears.

Nara Rinka then patted Go-O's head.

"King Mu, now is the time!"

Nara Rinka gazes at the giant tortoise opposite him.

"Use the [Tailed Beast Ball]!"

Aiming at the position of the Three-Tails Isobu, the Five-Tails Kokuou unleashed its massive Tailed Beast Ball, which it had been charging up for a long time.

Isobu, already quite injured from Kirin's attack, was now paralyzed by the lightning and didn't even have time to dodge the Five-Tails Kokuou's Tailed Beast Ball.

The dazzling light from the explosion of the large Tailed Beast Ball, and the figure standing atop the head of the Five-Tails, Kokuo.

This was the last scene that Mio Isobu saw before he fell into a deep coma.

Rumbling--

Amidst a deafening roar, a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

The Three-Tailed Isobu is no longer able to fight.

First update...

It's late again...

It'll probably be around 3 AM tonight.

Second update, after 3 PM.
