Chapter 318: Chiyoda's Overwhelming Power!
Chapter 318: Chiyoda's Overwhelming Power!
The Celestial Thunder Beast, an S-rank Forbidden Jutsu, was unleashed, with Uchiha Meika's right hand Chidori as the reins, plummeting from the sky with devastating force.
If it were a Fire Style technique, there might have been some time to dodge. But Lightning Style was notoriously fast, offering no chance of escape.
Crackle!
A silver radiance caused everyone to instinctively close their eyes.
Fortunately, when two Shadow-level powerhouses clashed, those around them silently moved away, avoiding being caught in the crossfire.
Thus, in this area, only Chiyoda and Uchiha Meika remained.
As the caster, Uchiha Meika naturally had a special means of self-preservation.
Zzzra!
Her body was suddenly enveloped in a layer of lightning radiance.
Thunderbird Flow.
Being covered in lightning naturally made her immune to the Celestial Thunder Beast's damage.
Without this method, the Celestial Thunder Beast could only attack from a distance and couldn't be used in close combat.
Chiyoda's reaction was swift. As soon as the Celestial Thunder Beast appeared from the clouds above, she immediately gathered the remaining eight puppets around her, causing three of them to unleash their ultimate techniques.
"Puppetry Technique: Three Treasures Devour!"
But it was centered on herself.
Whoosh! A terrifying cyclone swept through the sky, attempting to tear apart the dark clouds and forming a defensive layer around Chiyoda.
Simultaneously, she commanded the remaining five puppets to perform the Puppetry Technique: Machinery Light Shield.
Layer upon layer of Chakra Barriers, strong enough to withstand Chidori, protected Chiyoda from above.
Celestial Thunder Beast vs. Three Treasures Devour and Machinery Light Shield!
Crackle!
First, the cyclone was shredded by the lightning beast, then the layers of machinery shields were swallowed.
Finally, the silver radiance engulfed the entire area.
Boom!
The thunderclap echoed across the battlefield, drawing everyone's attention.
Both sides' ninjas instinctively stopped and retreated.
They knew that the outcome would be decided after this strike.
The lightning radiance quickly dispersed, revealing the battlefield.
A deep crater appeared on the battlefield.
The countless yellow sands within had already turned into a liquid state due to the terrifying high temperature, making the crater appear crystal-clear and smooth, causing an eerie chill.
Even the sand had been melted by the lightning's accompanying high temperature, indicating the attack's exaggerated power.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two figures leaped out of the deep pit, one after the other, standing on opposite sides, staring at each other.
Judging by appearances, Uchiha Meika, her face pale as paper due to excessive chakra consumption, looked somewhat disheveled.
Chiyoda, on the other hand, was in perfect condition, except for her scarf, which was nearly shredded by lightning.
The scarf, being close to her body, should have been protected, but the fact that even it couldn't withstand the attack spoke volumes.
More importantly, the Konmatsu Tenjin were nowhere to be seen.
For a puppeteer, losing her puppets was akin to losing her weapons.
Although Chiyoda, a veteran Shadow-level powerhouse, wouldn't be completely powerless without her puppets, her combat strength had undoubtedly diminished significantly.
Furthermore, she had used up all her chakra to cast the Machinery Light Shield to block the attack.
Leaping out of the pit had drained her of her last drop of chakra, so Chiyoda knew she had lost, defeated by the girl before her, not yet twenty years old.
"You truly live up to the Uchiha name!"
She exclaimed.
There was no need to continue the fight, and she didn't need to provoke her opponent.
"Elder Chiyoda is no weakling either!"
Uchiha Meika couldn't help but acknowledge that her opponent had survived her full-power attack.
Although Chiyoda had paid the price of all her puppets and chakra.
The fact that she survived was undeniable.
This strike's power was far greater than her previous one in the Land of Tea, with more concentrated natural energy and enhanced control.
The proof was in the crater; its area wasn't significantly larger than the previous one, but its depth had more than doubled, indicating the Celestial Thunder Beast's concentrated might.
For someone to block such a devastating attack head-on was indeed impressive.
Of course, Uchiha Meika's boldness stems from the fact that she hasn't unleashed her full power yet.
Once she enters the Mangekyo Sharingan state, her abilities will receive even greater enhancements, and among her two unique eye techniques, the 'Power Cut' of the Heavenly Rock Gate is definitely something Chiyada cannot counter.
Even if a ninja can fight with their eyes closed, their fighting strength will undoubtedly be greatly affected.
Not to mention the 'Susanoo', a divine power.
Given her overwhelming advantage, it's no wonder Uchiha Meika mentally positions herself as the superior one.
The best news is that she hasn't revealed her Mangekyo Sharingan.
If the Leaf Village learns that she possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, there will undoubtedly be a fierce reaction.
They can accept her strength surpassing the Shadow Level, but they will never accept her having the Mangekyo Sharingan.
What's more serious is that if the Mangekyo Sharingan is exposed, the incident of the Nine-Tails Night might be attributed to her.
After all, controlling the Nine-Tails is impossible with a regular Sharingan; only the Mangekyo Sharingan would make it reasonable.
As for evidence?
They are ninjas; do they need evidence?
Having such strength is the greatest proof, so it's best to keep the Mangekyo Sharingan hidden.
Of course, if it comes down to a final showdown, Uchiha Meika won't hesitate to use the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Even if it leads to trouble later, that's a future problem. The Skyguard Tower doesn't want to cause trouble now, but that doesn't mean they are afraid.
If the village suspects them, so be it. But if they dare to make a move, they can directly confront them. At this stage, Naruto and Sasuke are not even a year old, and even if Lazy You Bastard from the Pure Land steps in as a substitute, they are confident they can either hold their ground or retreat safely.
Six-Paths Lazy You Bastard is indeed powerful to the point of invincibility at this stage, but he has a fatal weakness.
He cannot leave the Pure Land.
If he could, he wouldn't have had to seal his mother and give the two protagonists a power-up by assigning them the task of sealing her.
Even if he could leave, the cost would likely be extremely heavy.
This is something Dong Ping has recently realized.
Currently, the Shinobi World's situation has undergone significant changes due to his influence. If Six-Paths Lazy You Bastard were truly omniscient and omnipotent, he would have come to crush him long ago.
It's not that the other party doesn't want to act; they simply can't.
Knowing this has given Dong Ping a boost in confidence, which is why he dared to entrust this mission to Uchiha Meika.
Even if they encounter some plot-related obstacles, Hyuga Cangyue will be there to back them up.
It can be said that although Dong Ping isn't present in this localized battle, everything has been arranged to perfection.
If they could encounter problems with such a significant advantage, the situation wouldn't be much better even if he were there.
Fortunately, as it doesn't involve the Leaf Village, there haven't been any unexpected incidents.
Uchiha Meika, without using any of her trump cards, has single-handedly defeated the veteran Shadow Level ninja, Chiyada.
Although it may seem somewhat unfair, considering the opponent is already in their sixties.
But a Shadow Level ninja is a Shadow Level ninja; their strength is undeniable, and they didn't use any underhanded tricks or schemes, leaving no room for complaints.
The Sand Ninjas began to gather behind Chiyada.
Especially the Jounin and other high-ranking ninjas, who might have known the intent of this localized war from the start, showed great restraint earlier and didn't resort to any crazy tactics.
Therefore, when the Sand Ninjas assembled, they realized the number of casualties was somewhat unexpected.
There were over two hundred Sand Ninjas dead.
Most of them were Genin, with only a few being Jounin, and the majority of the deaths were at the hands of the Uchiha clan.
This was a full-scale attack, and they had been fighting for half a day.
But with such minimal losses, it was indeed surprising.
However, it's now time to end the battle.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures appeared beside Chiyada, tearing through the air—none other than Lo Sha and Ye Cang, who had moved the battlefield elsewhere.
Stomp! Stomp!
Yuzuki Seika and Yamazaka Housuke also appeared beside Uchiha Meika.
The two armies faced off, with the giant crater between them as the dividing line.
