Capítulo 176: Chapter 176: Natsuo's Grand Strength and Onoki's Grand Realization
"Even if you don't save my granddaughter, I will make your efforts in vain!" Onoki's face showed a fierce expression. "Even if I suffer more losses, I won't let you achieve your goal!"
When it is impossible to defeat the enemy, the mission of not allowing the enemy to achieve their objectives is the standard action of shinobi.
This is the determination of the Third Tsuchikage as a shinobi.
Kurotsuchi smiled bitterly, but she didn't hold any resentment. The Iwa Shinobi have already suffered many losses, and if she can save the lives of the Iwa Shinobi, then she is not afraid to sacrifice herself.
'Old man, why do you think Natsuo would risk his life to save me?' Kurotsuchi smiled bitterly and shook her head. 'I'm a kunoichi from Iwagakure...'
However, as a means of destroying the enemy's target, her sacrifice can be considered successful.
Kakuzu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to take a step back. If the Dust Release hits him, it's a real death. Even if he had a hundred hearts it wouldn't make sense!
Onoki's movements were very slow, clearly so that Natsuo could see them. But after Natsuo saw it, the preparation was already complete.
[Whoosh!]
A white pillar of light suddenly surged forward, straight towards Kurotsuchi.
Feeling the dazzling white light, Kurotsuchi slowly closed her eyes, sighed lightly, and prepared to embrace a painless death.
The next second...
She suddenly found everything in front of her turn black. She opened her eyes, only to see a huge giant standing in front of her, blocking the white light of Dust Release. It was Natsuo!
Natsuo extended a hand.
The white light of Dust Release came crashing. And met Natsuo's palm. But the situation where Natsuo would be enveloped in the Dust Release barrier did not occur.
Instead, Dust Release at the point of contact with Natsuo's palm began to distort, soften, and be absorbed...
Six Paths Technique: Preta Path!
In Natsuo's eyes, the purple halo of the Rinnegan appeared. As the owner of the Rinnegan, he could naturally adapt to the eye technique that the Rinnegan inherently possessed.
[Bang!]
Dust Release shattered and instantly dissipated.
Natsuo slowly retracted his hand, his eyes blinked, reaffirming the pattern of the Mangekyo. He was never afraid of Dust Release. "You're really impulsive!" Natsuo shook his head. "Did Iwagakure's Will of Stone turn your brain into stone?"
Onoki and the others stood in shock in their original positions. "What happened?"
"Didn't Tsuchikage's Dust Release attack just go out? Why didn't it have any effect?"
"What ability did he use?"
"Are we under genjutsu?"
The Iwa Shinobi looked bewildered. Dust Release has always been Iwagakure's strongest trump card, synonymous with invincibility. Even Uchiha Madara didn't dare to directly confront a Dust Release attack.
However, Dust Release dissipated in front of Natsuo?
"I seemed to have seen Natsuo's eyes change just now... Did I see it wrong?" Onoki frowned, suspecting that his old eyes were playing tricks on him.
But the problem now is that Dust Release is ineffective against Natsuo. His heart sank. If even Dust Release's attacks are ineffective, then what power can deal with NAtsuo?
"I actually don't want to use this." Natsuo said regretfully. "After all, the Shinobi World is more complicated than it seems. I should keep a trump card hidden..."
"Why do you guys have to force me to take action?"
Then he manifested: Complete Body - Susanoo, wielding a great sword with both hands.
"Not good!" Onoki's face changed, and he once again condensed Dust Release in his hand, but it was already too late.
The giant sword fell!
[Boom!]
A thunderous noise echoed in all directions. The powerful sword aura tore the earth apart.
And the Iwa Shinobi, who was the target of his attack, suffered heavy damage. Even if the Iwa Shinobi had already dispersed to deal with the Susanoo's attacks and minimize losses, but this sword strike still involved most of those present.
The sand will bury all the fresh blood. The wind will cover all the wailing.
The earth seems to tremble, leaving a deep imprint, extending to the point that the end cannot be seen.
[Crack! Boom!]
A sound from afar startled Kurotsuchi and Kakuzu. They tried to look into the distance and saw a small mountain where the sword light was pointing...
Collapsed!
Kurotsuchi and Kakuzu who were behind the Susanoo looked at him in amazement. This is the power of the number one person in the shinobi world...
"This is the power of Uchiha Madara back then... No wonder the old man has always feared Uchiha Madara. Who can fight against such a monster!" Kurotsuchi widened her eyes, filled with shock.
Kakuzu remained silent. It seems that even Senju Hashirama back then couldn't be that strong... But speaking of which, this power is really strong. It feels like it's even stronger than the leader. In that case... Kakuzu narrowed his eyes, a glint of light appearing in them.
"Hoo... Hoo..." Onoki gasped for breath.
His body was already stained with blood, but it wasn't from being struck by Natsuo. It was the result of being caught in the aftermath of the Susanoo attack.
Just the aftermath caused a Kage-level to bleed. Onoki's eyes were filled with fear, as if he saw the figure of Uchiha Madara. And what frightened him even more was...
Natsuo looked from the top of the Susanoo calmly at the Iwa Shinobi who had died from his attack, then he picked up Kurotsuchi and threw her into the space inside the Susanoo.
The Susanoo walked and headed towards the distance. And the address is...
"The Iwagakure Stronghold!" Onoki's eyes widened. "He intends to destroy the Iwagakure army!"
Since Natsuo decided to show off the power of the Rinnegan, he might as well try to get the most out of Iwagakure by showing off his power.
"Stop it Natsuo!" Onoki's eyes widened, and he crazily gathered Chakra, continuously using Dust Release to attack Natsuo.
However, it was useless.
The Six Paths Techniques and ordinary ninjutsu are fundamentally different. Even though Dust Release is a Kekkei Tota, it still couldn't harm Natsuo.
Watching the Susanoo get closer and closer to Iwagakure Fortress, Onoki completely panicked and screamed. "Wait Natsuo! We surrender! Iwagakure surrenders!"
However, Natsuo didn't even listen. He wasn't concerned about the interests of Konohagakure.
"Natsuo! Iwagakure is willing to compensate you! How much money do you want? One hundred billion? Two hundred billion?"
However, it was useless. Natsuo is not Kakuzu. The Uchiha clan is never short of money!
Onoki kept speaking, but Natsuo didn't stop, his expression growing more urgent. He glanced at Kurotsuchi beside Natsuo, suddenly had a clever idea, and shouted: "I'm willing to marry my granddaughter to you!"
However, contrary to his expectations, Natsuo only glanced at him indifferently and calmly said: "Sorry, Kurotsuchi was sold to me by Kakuzu. You don't have the qualifications to negotiate with this."
'I don't even have the qualifications to speak about my own granddaughter?' Onoki is annoyed but dare not show it. But he really can't think of a way to make Natsuo stop.
And at this moment...
"Natsuo, you said that I was sold... But what about my opinion?" Kurotsuchi blinked and asked: "Can you force me? And if you did, what would stop me from retaliating or committing suicide?"
"Um... I have plenty of time to convince you." Natsuo thought for a moment and said: "Or maybe we can make some kind of deal, I'm open to considering it."
"But even if you don't agree in the end, I won't let you go, after all, I paid for you..."
Yes, this is one of Natsuo's goals. Natsuo knew that if he wanted to have a child with Kurotsuchi she had to agree to a certain extent, and he was also reluctant to use the Mangekyo Sharingan Technique: Yumenso, on her, since he would have to wait another year to use it again. That's why he decided to attack the Iwagakure fortress, so he could reach an agreement with her.
This was also within Kurotsuchi's expectations. She knew that Natsuo wanted to achieve something by attacking the Iwagakure fortress. And now she confirmed that one of those things was her cooperation in going with him.
So Kurotsuchi smiled slightly and stood beside Natsuo.
She was still bound and could only struggle to remain standing, then she said: 'So... if I want you to forgive the Iwa Shinobi, in exchange for my cooperation, is it possible?'
"Just this one request?" Natsuo raised an eyebrow.
"No, there's one more request." Kurotsuchi blinked.
"What is it?"
"I was tied up earlier and fell to the ground several times. My clothes got dirty... Can you help me take off these dirty clothes? It's uncomfortable to wear them!" Kurotsuchi leaned close to Natsuo's ear, her voice gentle.
Natsuo remained silent for three seconds upon hearing this. Then he shook his head. While he was interested in Kurotsuchi's lineage and potential, she was still too young for his liking. But still he appreciated her initiative.
…
Onoki stopped slowly. He watched as the Susanoo stopped as his granddaughter whispered in Natsuo's ear, his old face contorted.
For an old and stubborn man like him, nothing could be more humiliating than this moment! He'd really rather let Kurotsuchi die than see how she has to negotiate with Natsuo to technically sell herself out. Or die himself. But when thinking about the shinobi of Iwagakure...
Onoki had to endure the humiliation. He gritted his teeth and decided not to look at the Susanoo who stopped completely. He turned and flew towards the Iwa Shinobi who stayed behind.
He then began to take out the Iwa Shinobi who are not yet completely dead one by one, placed them on the ground and gathered the medical-nin to treat them.
At the same time, he needed to search for the bodies of the Iwa shinobi to confirm their deaths...
Looking at the corpses all over the floor, Onoki felt pain in his heart.
Back then, he didn't understand why his teacher, Second Tsuchikage, had to compromise Uchiha Madara so much, but now he deeply understands the power of Uchiha!
"Natsuo's strength is so strong. He seems even stronger to me than Uchiha Madara back then." Onoki sighed. "I don't know how Rasa and Terumi Mei fought with him." His eyes widened suddenly.
Nowadays, it is recognized in the shinobi world that both Rasa and Terumi Mei are the strongest below Natsuo, even above the Kage level.
Not for anything else, just because they can fight Natsuo to a standstill for a period of time. Being able to stop him for a while should not be underestimated, because when Uchiha Madara was in the shinobi world, there was no one who could stop him.
That is why their strength has been recognized by everyone.
According to Iwagakure's information, Rasa relied on his own strength and cooperated with the maneuvers deployed on the battlefield in advance to fight Natsuo fiercely for half an hour.
As for Terumi Mei, with the help of the Kiri Shinobi, she made some sacrifices and stalled with Natsuo for an hour or two...
Onoki doesn't think that his strength will lose to these two juniors, but he also recognizes their strength. "There is no detailed information about what happened during the battle with Rasa."
"But if I remember correctly, when Natsuo and Terumi Mei were fighting, it seemed like she entered the Susanoo alone, and with the help of the Kiri Shinobi he managed to make her stop. She fought inside the Susanoo..."
Then Onoki remembered how the Susanoo stopped while Kurotsuchi whispered in Natsuo's ear...
Onoki's eyes widened instantly, and he almost uttered a curse. So this is what this strongest Mizukage in history is like...
'According to this method, if my granddaughter Kurotsuchi could hold Natsuo for one or two hours, I could claim that she is the strongest Tsuchikage?!'
His face turned black, and he quickly thought of another piece of information. To show his sincerity in seeking peace, the Kazekage sent his daughter Temari to Natsuo as a hostage.
When Onoki learned this, he was quite moved by Rasa's belief in sacrificing himself for the Village, and it strengthened his determination to make sacrifices.
This time he was able to attack Kurotsuchi decisively, more or less affected by Rasa's decisive action. Rasa could push his daughter into the abyss, so Onoki thought he could also kill his granddaughter.
And now...
'If I remember correctly, although Konoha and Sunagakure have already signed the peace agreement, Rasa's daughter still lives in the Uchiha clan residence...'
Hello, the strongest Kazekage!
Hello, the strongest Mizukage!
It turns out that the two of them are the 'strongest' in this way! Onoki's nose almost burst into flames.
He slapped his sleeves angrily. If it weren't for both Rasa and Terumi Mei being able to stop Natsuo, which diminished his impression of him, Onoki wouldn't have thought that Natsuo is far from being equal to the invincible Uchiha Madara...
How could he fight Natsuo so recklessly? And now...
Iwagakure suffered so many losses.
