Chapter 119: Kusagakure Must Perish
The sky suddenly darkened, clouds gathering densely. A thunder dragon roared as it plunged from the clouds, trailing lightning bolts as it swept through Kusagakure's formations.
Blinding lightning scattered along the thunder dragon's path, carrying paralyzing power that wandered everywhere in midair. Attracted by the bioelectricity in the Kusagakure shinobi's bodies, it automatically converged toward them like tracking guidance, making evasion impossible.
The entire battlefield instantly transformed into an ocean of lightning, electric sparks flickering and moving everywhere.
"Ahh..."
Accompanied by waves of screams, the air immediately filled with the scorched smell of ionized protein.
The thunder dragon swept through. The scene instantly emptied. Chunin and below were completely annihilated in this wave of attacks, collapsed on the ground convulsing continuously.
Most directly turned to charcoal. A small portion, because the lightning damage was dispersed by the crowd, luckily survived but were already severely injured.
Only the Land of Grass's leader Murasaki and a few jonin could defend or dodge in time, currently remaining unscathed.
"How is this possible?" Seeing such massive losses, Murasaki's eyes turned red.
"Use the sealing formation! Seal him here!" He shouted hoarsely.
Veins bulged on his forehead, his hands trembling uncontrollably, obviously realizing conventional ninjutsu couldn't possibly counter the monster before him.
Following his orders, several figures rushed out from inside the village. Standing at four corners, they surrounded the crimson Susanoo in the middle.
These people wore unified attire—black combat suits, bull-headed masks, hiding head and tail without exposing any skin. But the chakra fluctuations from their bodies were clear—at least jonin-level.
After positioning themselves, their hands formed seals rapidly, slapping the ground. Then a golden light barrier rose from the ground, extending and connecting in midair to form a massive cage, enclosing the crimson Susanoo within and rapidly contracting inward.
Across the barrier's surface, rune-like black markings scattered everywhere, forming various strange shapes.
"Hehe, sealing technique!" Yasushi laughed coldly, his gaze sweeping several times across that distinctive barrier. "After the Uzumaki clan's destruction, every family really knows sealing techniques now!"
"However, this sealing technique's power depends on who's using it!"
Before his words finished, he controlled the crimson Susanoo to stride before the barrier, swinging its staff and striking heavily.
"Clang!" A tremendous boom rang out like a great bell, spreading deafening sound in all directions.
Wherever the sound waves passed, windows and doors throughout the village exploded. Distant tree branches and leaves shook violently and fell.
Anyone nearby who heard this sound felt their hearts pound wildly, nearly coughing blood.
The rounded barrier shook from this massive force, golden light flickering wildly, rune markings flying everywhere. The barrier's surface developed spiderweb-like cracks.
Black runes frantically moved, trying to repair those fissures, but repair speed couldn't keep up with destruction speed.
"Gah!"
Those several bull-headed maintainers immediately shuddered, simultaneously coughing up blood.
Before they could recover, the crimson Susanoo immediately followed with another kick.
"Crack!" A crisp sound—the golden barrier immediately shattered, transforming into fragments in midair and vanishing into nothing.
The several bull-headed people's eyes rolled back as they collapsed backward, chakra rampaging through their bodies, bleeding from seven orifices, pupils dilating—clearly death wasn't far.
Massive energy waves instantly released from inside outward, like surging tsunamis, sweeping toward Kusagakure's interior.
"Crash..." Amid chaotic noise, in the direction the energy wave swept, the ground was scraped three feet deep. All buildings shattered like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, rolled by the shockwave, surging forward unstoppably.
Anyone unable to dodge was swept into this massive force, instantly transformed into mangled flesh, dying without burial grounds.
Moments later, energy finally dissipated. Things flying through the air fell again, like a blood-red rain of sand and stone.
Across the earth, a deep trench was carved out, filled with debris, severed limbs. Surrounding blood converged toward this low-lying area, forming streams of blood-colored rivulets.
The scene fell completely silent. Everyone was shocked by this massive power.
Their previous wars were always you shoot a water arrow, I spray a fireball, then charge forward for taijutsu combat.
Comparing who reacted faster, who had more chakra.
Insufficient strength—make up with numbers. Emphasizing large numbers and great power—human wave tactics could solve any strong enemy.
The Raikage was so impressive—wasn't he piled to death by Iwagakure? Tailed Beasts were formidable—weren't they sealed by various villages?
But Uchiha Yasushi's performance completely overturned their understanding of war.
What the hell was this Susanoo? How could it be so unreasonable? Complete offense and defense, no weaknesses—how to fight this?
Kusagakure's morale rapidly plummeted. Fear appeared on everyone's faces.
"Haha..."
Yasushi laughed wildly. The Sharingan in his eyes rotated again, stirring the thunder clouds above. A new thunder dragon emerged from the clouds.
"The times have changed, trash!"
"In the future shinobi world, numbers no longer have decisive effect."
"Replacing them is the quantity and strength of high-level combat power!"
"The more and stronger the high-level combat power, the stronger the village."
"As long as powerful shinobi exist, even small villages can overturn and defeat the Five Great Nations!"
"What?" As Murasaki's heart stirred, the thunder dragon had already struck down again, wandering throughout Kusagakure's formations.
Having learned from last time, Kusagakure's jonin became much smarter. Under Murasaki's organization, chunin and genin threw large quantities of kunai.
Kunai tips pierced the ground, long chakra steel wires at their ends weaving into nets, evenly distributed across the wide ground.
Other jonin cooperated with each other, jointly releasing different jutsu, attempting to block the thunder dragon's attack.
Block if possible—if not, conduct the thunder dragon's lightning energy into the ground, greatly weakening the thunder dragon's attack effectiveness.
This method proved quite good.
The thunder dragon struck down, first weakened in speed by jutsu, power offset, then absorbed by the steel wire net and conducted underground.
Within dozens of meters, the ground surface emitted eerie blue light. Grass immediately charred and carbonized, but this greatly weakened the thunder dragon's power. The thunder dragon's size visibly shrank.
Relying on collective strength, they finally survived this wave of thunder dragon attacks.
Though many unlucky ones were still electrified into charcoal, at least this time's shinobi losses weren't so many.
But immediately after, a new thunder dragon plunged from the sky again.
This time, Uchiha Yasushi didn't let the thunder dragon charge toward those jonin-led positions. Instead, it changed direction mid-air, bypassing Murasaki and the others' defensive circle, falling directly into the village interior and beginning to rampage through Kusagakure.
"No..."
Under Murasaki and the others' horrified gazes, that thunder dragon rampaged everywhere in the village. Wherever it passed, houses collapsed and people perished.
