Chapter 989: Futonkou no Jyou!
Chapter 989: Futonkou no Jyou!
"Susanoo!"
Izuna unleashed her powerful jutsu without hesitation.
A terrifying silver giant appeared on the battlefield.
Her initial targets were only Yamashiro Aobara, Raidou Namiashi, and Kanabou Uzumaki, who possessed the knowledge of Futonkou no Jyou, and she had no intention of going on a killing spree.
But now?
The audacity of her opponents to toy with her demanded a price.
With the Forever Mangekyou, she could have easily unleashed her full power, but that would have been a wasteful use of her ocular power.
Moreover, unlike Uzumaki Madara, whose Mangekyou enhanced Susanoo's strength and reduced its energy consumption, Izuna only entered the third stage.
At this stage, Susanoo gained a complete physical form, and the ocular power consumption was relatively manageable for an Eternal Mangekyou user.
Note that 'manageable' is in comparison to the Eternal Mangekyou.
For ordinary Mangekyou users or those who took shortcuts, this consumption would be akin to a water pump, draining their power in no time.
"Stop!"
Yamashiro Aobara, upon witnessing the sudden appearance of the moon-silver Susanoo, seemed to realize something and frantically shouted to halt the attack.
But Izuna paid him no heed.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Her cherry lips parted gently, and her voice was calm.
The moon-silver giant, standing dozens of meters tall, now held a ten-meter-long sword in its right hand, which it swung towards a group of Konoha ninjas in front of it.
A silver crescent moon rose, then shattered, releasing a shower of moon-silver light.
The technique was executed with gentle precision, avoiding excessive commotion.
However, its destructive power was fully unleashed.
Anyone caught in the moon-silver light would simply vanish.
Not truly vanishing, but rather, being torn apart by the terrifying sword light in an instant.
Izuna's exceptional control allowed the attack to skim the ground, preventing the creation of a massive crater with a single strike.
If she had unleashed her full power, creating a giant pit would have been effortless.
This further demonstrated Izuna's remarkable control.
It was almost heaven-defying!
The outcome justified the spectacle.
After the silver light passed, everything in that area, including Konoha ninjas and their equipment, vanished.
Over a hundred Konoha ninjas perished.
"You...you...you demon!"
Yamashiro Aobara stared at the semi-transparent moon-silver giant, at the gentle and pure female ninja within, struggling to find words, resorting to calling her an 'evil demon.'
"Those who are prepared to die have the right to kill," Izuna calmly replied. "If Konoha intends to hinder the Sunbright Will, you should be ready for the consequences."
In her heart, after avenging her mother, she had dedicated herself entirely to her teacher, ready to carry out his every wish. So, killing these ninjas, even if there were more, held no significance to her.
"But you, as a powerful warrior..."
Yamashiro Aobara seemed to be trying to convince Izuna not to harm ordinary Konoha ninjas.
Yes, powerful warriors should have some restraint and not slaughter ordinary ninjas, right?
"The weak must be prepared to be trampled," Izuna retorted, "just as the Konoha higher-ups pressured the Uchiha clan without any hesitation."
Izuna's words silenced Yamashiro Aobara.
Indeed, the Konoha higher-ups had even conspired with an inside traitor to eliminate the Uchiha clan.
And among the exterminated Uchiha, there were not only ninjas but also many ordinary people without power, and they were not spared either.
Izuna's targets were all ninjas on the battlefield, and the situation was far better than what the Uchiha had faced.
If Konoha could do it, why can't the Lander of the Sunbright Will?
Perhaps you've become accustomed to double standards, but we won't fall for that.
Indeed, Konoha was guilty of double standards.
They believed their actions were justified, but when others did the same to them, they considered it a grave sin.
A classic case of hypocrisy!
Not only did Dang Ping love to ridicule such examples, but he also included them in his book, "My Struggle."
This book is essential for understanding the Ninja World and Konoha.
It has even become a textbook in the Lander of the Sunbright Will.
Not only there, but Iwagakure and Kirigakure also adopted it as a teaching material.
Because the contents within are all true, and it can enrich one's knowledge, striking a blow to the Flame Will, it naturally made them highly value it.
The reason for striking the Flame Will is that after reading this book, one would understand that the Flame Will is merely a slogan, used to deceive civilians into sacrificing themselves. The true Konoha upper echelon does not believe in the Flame Will.
An undeniable piece of evidence is that the Flame Will emphasizes the older generation burning themselves to protect the new generation.
However, everyone is aware of the ages of the Konoha upper echelon, and they rarely go to the battlefield. Instead, it is the countless young ninjas who have not yet graduated but are already on the battlefield.
With this fact, the Konoha upper echelon has no choice but to accept it, and they can only choose to treat this book as forbidden.
As an elite Jonin, Yamashiro Aobara naturally has read "My Struggle," and he is also clear that the content within is all true. Now, facing Izuna's rebuttal, he has no reason to refute it.
"Come on, let's talk like ninjas!"
He brandished the kunai in his hand.
If words cannot convince others, it is only natural to resort to force.
'There's a problem!'
A thought flashed through Izuna's mind.
Through her Mangekyou Sharingan, she saw that behind Yamashiro Aobara, Kanabou Uzumaki and Raidou Namiashi had made some 'small movements'.
The book is indeed genuine!
They must have a way to deal with her.
However, even knowing this, Izuna had no intention of exposing them.
Whoosh! She released Susanoo and charged towards the three of them.
Although Susanoo is incredibly powerful, it can be quite inconvenient at times.
For example, when facing small targets.
They can easily dodge attacks and create distance, so Susanoo is useful in siege warfare or against special targets, but in a one-on-one fight, one must find opportunities to use it.
"Make your move!"
Yamashiro Aobara suddenly shouted.
The two teammates behind him mirrored his hand seals.
"Futonkou no Jyou!"
They activated the space ninjutsu once again.
They had already used it numerous times before, but without forming the hand seals.
Whoosh! In a flash of light, Izuna, who was about to strike them, instantly disappeared.
Witnessing this, Yamashiro Aobara suddenly slumped to the ground, muttering to himself.
"Finally, success!"
He had been half-acting and half-truthful.
Sometimes he was speechless, and sometimes he was putting on a show.
Because he had been looking for an opportunity to teleport Izuna away.
Teleportation! Futonkou no Jyou can not only teleport oneself but also others.
When facing a formidable enemy they cannot defeat, there is no need to truly eliminate them; simply sending them away to a desperate situation is enough.
The previous teleportation was to a location in the underground magma region.
Once teleported there, one would be trapped with little chance of escape.
They had put a lot of thought into keeping the coordinates there.
However, their long-term efforts paid off.
With one move, they resolved such a formidable opponent.
Although they might not have killed her, they prevented her from returning to the battlefield, which is also considered a solution, isn't it?
"Yes, just now I was afraid she would discover us!"
Raidou Namiashi also slumped to the ground.
Just now, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest, fearing that she would see through their plan.
"Rest assured, this is the first time we've used Futonkou no Jyou like this. There's no way she could have seen through it..."
Kanabou Uzumaki was extremely confident.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he stopped.
"What's wrong, Kanabou?"
Yamashiro Aobara looked up and saw Kanabou Uzumaki's frozen expression and the bloodstain on his neck.
"Continue, I'm listening!"
A female voice sounded from behind Kanabou Uzumaki.
Pfft! A gush of blood spurted from the bloodstain on his neck, and his head fell, revealing Izuna's gentle and pure face behind him.
"Impossible!"
"But you just..."
Yamashiro Aobara and Raidou Namiashi on the ground almost spoke in unison, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
