Chapter 141: A long night...

Natsuo walked out of the command room.

The Konoha shinobi outside were in a panic. They all had terrified expressions. It's clear that they have been losing miserably during this period of time.

In the distance you could see the faces of the Kiri shinobi, full of madness.

The morale of Konoha had already collapsed to the extreme, even though many capable ninja had set traps and personally conducted reconnaissance on the outskirts, issuing early warnings. But most of the ninja had already collapsed.

Even though the mental resilience of ninja is stronger than that of ordinary people, after several defeats, it was enough to make them collapse.

At this time, the Kiri shinobi had also rushed over.

"Kill!"

"Slaughter the bastards of Konoha!"

"Let the weak and incompetent Konoha see what a real ninja is!"

The Kiri ninjas burst into wild laughter and rushed forward.

Next second...

A colossal creature suddenly rose from the edge of the Konoha camp.

It was dozens of meters tall, its entire body presented a black-purple color, like a majestic warrior in armor, imposing and emitting a sinister aura.

Susanoo!

Natsuo stood calmly within the crystal on Susanoo's forehead, his expression indifferent.

The fierce wind howled, causing Natsuo's clothes to flutter, and his deep black hair danced incessantly.

"Hmm?!"

"What is that?"

The Kiri ninjas were stunned.

Next second...

Suddenly, the Susanoo giant raised his arm, holding a sword with one hand and then... brandished it!

The blade caused a violent sword aura that cut everything in its path mercilessly.

With formidable strength, it fiercely struck the ground.

[Boom!]

A ferocious shockwave spread from the point where the sword landed.

At the same time, a huge crack appeared on the ground, expanding in the direction of the Kiri shinobi.

Countless Kiri ninjas didn't even have time to cry out and were instantly swallowed by the sword energy. The crack grew larger and larger, as if it wanted to tear the earth apart.

Just with this one sword, it directly swept away a quarter of the attacking Kiri ninjas.

The endless wave of energy caused by the sword swing also engulfed everything around.

Everything, absolutely everything, was affected by the wave of energy generated by the sword swing and blown far away!

For a moment the chaotic battlefield instantly fell silent.

Whether it was the shocked faces of the Konoha side or the previously aggressive Kiri ninjas, they stood still in astonishment, motionless, and looked at everything before them with unimaginable eyes.

At the same time the Nara clan member finally ran out of the command post. He looked at everything before him in amazement, staring at the deep and endless crack.

Suddenly, he remembered the words Natsuo said before.

"It doesn't matter, I will take action..."

Yes, no matter how dangerous the situation is, as long as he takes action, everything, absolutely everything, will change completely!

"No wonder he asked me to buy time by ceding territory, waiting for his return..." The Nara clansman smiled bitterly, with a guilty expression on his face. "I thought I had put in so much effort and made a great contribution... Who would have known that it would only cause the village to shed more blood?"

He looked ashamed and regretful.

As temporary commander, the Nara clan member has exhausted all strategies and worked hard to confront the enemy using Konoha's weak forces, at the cost of stopping the invasion of Kirigakure and limiting their aggression to one area.

He has always believed that he has done well, thinking that even if it were the clan leader Nara Shikaku, it would be impossible to achieve the same military achievements as him.

He managed to protect a significant amount of the Land of Fire's territory from Kirigakure's attacks. But now, upon closer inspection...

The blood shed to protect this territory was completely in vain. It would have been enough to just wait for Natsuo to return...

"This power... What kind of power is this?!" Terumi Mei, at the rear of Kirigakure army, suddenly exclaimed, her face filled with disbelief.

"Wait... Is that person Natsuo?" Terumi Mei looked up.

With her strong ninja vision, even from hundreds of meters away, she could still clearly see the young man inside Susanoo.

Is he the one who defeated Mangetsu, scaring him so much that he didn't even dare to take back his ninja sword and just ran away? Is he the one who killed Danzo, The Darkness of the Shinobi? Who possesses the same eyes as Uchiha Madara.

Terumi Mei looked at the towering Susanoo, feeling the extremely cold Chakra, and shivered.

Not only Terumi Mei, but also the other Kiri ninjas were all dumbfounded.

With one strike, a quarter of the army was destroyed!

This is the power of one person against an entire nation!

No wonder Uchiha Madara rampaged through the Ninja World, even if he was alone, the major nations still didn't dare to provoke him...

In other words, the Kiri ninjas are enough for him to swing his sword four times.

How the hell can you fight that!

Suddenly, in front of everyone's eyes, Susanoo moved. He took large steps forward, the sword in his hand retracted, gathering momentum to strike.

He's still attacking?!

The Kiri ninjas panicked instantly. Countless Kiri ninjas didn't hesitate and turned their heads to run.

Even some high-ranking officials couldn't help but shout: "Spread out! Spread out quickly!" As they ran far away, their faces filled with fear. But while others could escape, there was one person who couldn't!

"Stop!" Terumi Mei shouted. "Don't even think about hurting the Kirigakure ninjas!"

She took a deep breath and then forcefully spat out a large amount of corrosive slime.

"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"

A large amount of acid surged out, thick and viscous, like melted lava, covering the sky and rushing forward.

The Kiri ninjas were shocked to see this.

"It's Mizukage-sama!"

"Our Mizukage-sama is still here!"

"As long as we have Mizukage-sama, we can definitely..." 

Natsuo remained calm. Susanoo completely ignored the surging acid and swung his arm, directly slashing through.

[Boom!]

With one swing of his sword, a huge shockwave was created. In an instant sand and rocks flew, as if a hurricane was approaching. Relying on this gust of wind, the corrosive liquid was easily swept away.

At the same time, sword energy swept across the entire field!

Terumi Mei hastily jumped up, dodging it. But just because she, with her Kage-level strength, could dodge it, doesn't mean others could.

The Kirigakure ninjas were instantly thrown into chaos, blood flowing.

"Curse!" Terumi Mei gritted her teeth slightly, her gaze drifting to the feet of Natsuo's Susanoo.

The range of the previous Lava Release was large, and it was a preemptive strike. Not all of the acid from the Lava Release was blown away by the shockwave created by Susanoo, some of it still splattered onto Susanoo's body.

But...

[Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!]

The acid made a sizzling sound. Lava Release is extremely aggressive. Even Susanoo couldn't completely withstand it.

However, Terumi Mei's expression turned grim.

"So resilient..."

Lava Release can indeed corrode Susanoo, but it's too slow.

Terumi Mei is very knowledgeable about Lava Release and based on her observation of the corrosive efficiency of Lava Release, even if she were to throw Susanoo into the pool of Lava Release, it would not be dissolved in a short period of time.

"...I like men who are not easily dissolved... Unfortunately, as the Mizukage, I must stop you here!" Terumi Mei takes a deep breath.

"Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!"

A large amount of acidic mist surges out. However, Natsuo's response is the same as before. Just raising and swinging his sword.

The reason why Susanoo is considered one of the strongest techniques is because of its incomparable offensive and defensive power. Being one of the strongest and most resistant defenses that exist in the Naruto series.

With this offensive and defensive power, all other attacks become extravagant tricks.

Terumi Mei's kekkei genkai is very strong. In the Naruto Series, her Boil Release dissolved Sasuke's Susanoo, and her Lava Release was also effective against Uchiha Madara's Susanoo. 

But the Susanoo at that time, compared to Natsuo's full Susanoo's offensive and defensive capabilities have a big difference.

Terumi Mei, who is also a seasoned Kage-level expert, quickly understood the advantages of Susanoo. But all she could do was wave her hand.

"All Kiri ninjas, listen up! Use the Hiding in Mist Technique and quickly retreat!"

She then spews another puff of Corrosive vapor, spraying it towards Susanoo's face.

The Kiri ninjas, quickly join forces and start forming seals. The surrounding mist becomes even denser, but Natsuo doesn't pay it any mind.

He doesn't even deliberately swing his weapon to disperse the mist. Only the strong wind caused by their large steps forward causes the concentration of the fog used by several ninjas to hide to decrease.

"Don't lay your hand on my subordinates!" Terumi Mei shouted loudly, appearing in front of Susanoo without anyone noticing when. Her feet moved quickly, and she suddenly leaped. She jumped directly onto the forehead part of Susanoo, where Natsuo was located.

"Oh? Upon closer inspection, you are a truly handsome man, no wonder you have captured the hearts of Kirigakure's spies." Terumi Mei's mouth curved into a smile, with a hint of charm.

"Young man, why be so impulsive?"

"Instead, let me give you a melting kiss, and experience the joy of a long night, wouldn't that be nice?"

As she spoke, three blobs of dissolving liquid splashed onto Susanoo's head, making a loud noise.

Terumi Mei was just speaking in line with her own personality. Although she has never had a boyfriend, she really enjoyed teasing the younger boys. However, what she didn't expect was that Natsuo actually responded.

"Sure."

"Huh?" Terumi Mei was taken aback.

The next second, Susanoo violently shook its head, throwing off the acid. And with large strides, it charged towards Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei's expression changed slightly as she assumed a defensive posture.

But contrary to her expectations, it seemed that Susanoo had lost its defensive function, and it actually absorbed her directly.

Natsuo reached out his hand and embraced the beauty in front of him.

"A long night, who needs sleep?"

"Miss Mizukage, did I understand correctly?"
