Chapter 126: Burning Kusagakure
The three Yashiro formed a squad, bypassing the Parasitic Destruction Insects, killing chaotically in one direction. They were Impure World bodies—except for sealing techniques, they feared no jutsu.
Acting alone, they might be surrounded and targeted by Kusagakure. But a squad of three jonin combined brought exponentially increased threat. Even encountering large numbers of shinobi, they wouldn't be sealed quickly.
Then they could exploit the Impure World body advantage—either mutual destruction or luring enemies to their Clan Head for killing—always ways to respond.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Inabi formed hand seals, shaking his head in all directions, evenly coating flames from his mouth onto tall buildings.
Though this jutsu never killed people, for arson it was first-rate.
Inabi hated these Kusagakure people. Just thinking of those tooth marks on little Karin's arms, he empathetically remembered those ungrateful stupid villagers in Konoha. Killing intent surged in his heart.
Kill people, set fires, destroy the village directly.
Yasushi's thoughts were similar. After releasing Parasitic Destruction Insects, he also formed hand seals, beginning to set massive fires throughout the village.
Under Susanoo's enhancement, even ordinary Fire Release had compound jutsu power.
Towering flames sprayed onto wooden buildings, immediately igniting everything.
High temperatures caused violent air convection. The rising hot wind blew flames toward more distant buildings. One after another—in moments, continuous fire walls formed, burning inward through the village. Soon all of Kusagakure seemed transformed into a giant furnace.
Black smoke rose. Steel melted, brick cracked. Desperate screams and collapsing buildings intertwined. Quickly, all of Kusagakure became hellish purgatory.
Watching his masterpiece, Yasushi tilted his head back and laughed heartily.
Too bad he lacked large-scale, wide-area destructive jutsu like Heaven-Concealing Meteorite. Otherwise he really wanted to drop one on Kusagakure too.
Susanoo's size was still too small!
"Stop!"
Murasaki gripped his long blade, leading a group charging over. From afar he shouted loudly: "Uchiha Yasushi, don't go too far!"
"Does the Land of Rain really want war with the Land of Grass?"
Yasushi's response was a thunder dragon plunging from the sky.
Destroying villages most efficiently—naturally arson. But for killing people, thunder dragons were more efficient.
The thunder dragon's only problem was heavy burden on the Sharingan. After multiple uses, eyes would enter closed rest state, unable to sustain long use.
After all, not his original eyes.
"No one can bully our Uchiha's friends!"
"This thunder dragon—released for little Karin!"
Under Yasushi's shouting, the sky again filled with dark clouds. A thunder dragon wrapped in lightning leaped from high altitude, displaying its fierce claws toward the Kusagakure shinobi.
"Damn it!" Murasaki dodged the thunder dragon's attacks in disarray, drenched in sweat, hoarsely shouting: "Who is Karin?"
Yasushi grew even angrier. "You treated Karin and Shinyo as human medical packs yet don't even know Karin's name. That makes you even more deserving of death!"
Only then did Murasaki realize who Karin was. He knew what Kusagakure had done to the mother and daughter. Knowing this matter had absolutely no resolution, he completely abandoned thoughts of negotiation. Gritting his teeth, he ordered:
"Everyone concentrate full strength. Must kill Uchiha Yasushi!"
Kusagakure shinobi responded in unison, advancing to fight. But among them, a group exchanged glances. Their movements slowed half a beat before turning toward the three Impure World bodies in the distance.
Having already witnessed the thunder dragon's power, current Kusagakure had corresponding countermeasures.
They repeated their previous trick, laying kunai with steel wire across the ground, forming a steel wire net to absorb the thunder dragon's power.
"Haha... Your methods are too childish!"
"Don't use the same move on me twice!"
Yasushi laughed wildly, hands forming seals rapidly, exhaling another fire dragon toward the Kusagakure shinobi.
Then he stirred the thunder clouds above, releasing another thunder dragon following the fire dragon, attacking together.
Under the fire dragon's scorching, the steel wires Kusagakure used to disperse lightning power broke and melted. Their original resistance method immediately vanished, no longer effective.
The following thunder dragon, under zero losses, surged unstoppably, breaking through hastily released defensive jutsu, rolling through Kusagakure's battle formation before breaking out, wildly charging toward the village depths.
When lightning dissipated in the distance, another dozen charred corpses appeared in Kusagakure's ranks.
"Everyone scatter! According to squad formation, coordinate combat!"
Seeing the original method didn't work, Murasaki could only change tactics again while loudly calling:
"Where are the bloodline limit users?"
"Figure out how to break Susanoo's defense!"
"And those forbidden techniques, secret techniques—doesn't matter which village you stole them from. Now's not the time to hide them. Use whatever forbidden or secret techniques you have!"
Following his call, a figure flashed from the ranks. Hands rapidly forming seals, slapping the ground.
"Grass Release Technique: Poison Whip Entanglement!"
Beneath Susanoo's feet immediately turned lush green. A thin layer of weeds grew from the earth, twisting together like rope, winding upward along Susanoo's legs.
Just seeing that lush green color, one knew the weeds likely contained toxins—just isolated by Susanoo, unable to take effect.
Moreover, this grass could absorb Susanoo's chakra, accelerating weed growth, making the rope thicker and longer.
But the grass's absorption efficiency was low—completely slower than Susanoo's recovery speed.
Yasushi glanced down once, then ignored it, just continuing to stride forward.
That thick rope, before Susanoo's massive power, had zero resistance. Immediately it snapped and shattered, scattering everywhere.
Susanoo's huge foot stomped down—"crack"—crushing that bloodline limit user into pulp. Blood and organs spread across the ground.
"Haha... Thunder dragons kill more efficiently, but for satisfaction, direct combat is most exhilarating!"
Yasushi laughed heartily, raising his staff, wildly striking people on the ground.
