Chapter 487 Face it
Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, while undeniably powerful, paled in comparison to Madara Uchiha, the Tsuchikage Onoki, a man of vast experience and profound wisdom. Madara, who once commanded immense power and instilled an overwhelming sense of despair in everyone, was a truly terrifying figure. While Sasuke's current strength was formidable, it fell far short of the level of pressure he could exert on the Tsuchikage.
Sasuke Uchiha, trapped within the powerful Susanoo, believed he could safely withstand the enemy's attacks. However, he underestimated the Mizukage's terrifying strength and magma power. The Mizukage unleashed a torrent of scorching, surging magma, carrying immense, world-destroying force as it swept directly towards Sasuke.
Despite Susanoo's best efforts to resist, the magma power was simply too strong, instantly breaking through the defenses. Sasuke felt an irresistible impact, and was sent flying like a cannonball.
His body traced an arc through the air, flying backward at an astonishing speed. Finally, Sasuke crashed heavily into the wall of the meeting center. With a deafening roar, the seemingly impenetrable wall succumbed to the impact and collapsed. Debris flew everywhere, dust billowed, and the entire scene descended into chaos.
Slammed into the corridor, before Sasuke could even get back up, the Mizukage reappeared, quickly blocking all the passageways with countless streams of lava. The Mizukage then spoke again: "Such a hard man isn't good. Let me melt you completely!" With that, he exhaled mist, completely enveloping the blocked corridor.
When the thick, impenetrable mist completely engulfed Susanoo like a surging tide, Sasuke Uchiha was startled and realized something was wrong. The Mizukage swiftly formed hand seals and chanted incantations; with her movements, the seemingly ordinary mist instantly transformed!
This mist was no longer the ordinary mist produced by the simple Mist Concealment Technique commonly seen in Kirigakure. It seemed to have been given life, becoming extremely aggressive and corrosive. Each wisp of mist was like a highly venomous snake, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Susanoo, frantically eroding its hard outer shell.
Even a powerful Susanoo like Uchiha Sasuke's was struggling against this terrifying mist. The seemingly indestructible defense was weakening at a visible rate, and fine cracks gradually appeared on the surface of Susanoo. These cracks then continued to expand and spread, covering the entire body like a spider web.
Even more terrifying was the fact that the corrosive power within the mist continued to intensify, causing the outer layer of Susanoo to slowly melt and drip down as drops of black liquid. Sasuke's eyes widened, his heart filled with shock and disbelief. He had never imagined that a power could so easily breach Susanoo's defenses and inflict such immense damage.
In this tense situation, Sasuke Uchiha frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and helplessness. He knew he could no longer linger in this small, enclosed space.
Without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful ninjutsu—Susanoo! A massive purple skeleton instantly erupted from his body, carrying unparalleled power and might. Then, Uchiha Sasuke controlled the Susanoo's giant fist, relentlessly pounding the surrounding, incredibly hard walls like a torrential downpour.
Each impact triggered a deafening roar, as if the entire space itself trembled. However, these walls were exceptionally sturdy, and breaking through them was no easy feat. But Uchiha Sasuke did not give up. He gritted his teeth, relentlessly increasing the intensity of his attacks, his mind focused on only one thought: he must escape this place!
Finally, after a period of arduous and relentless effort, with a final, deafening roar, a large hole was blasted through the wall. Debris flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. Uchiha Sasuke quickly passed through the hole and returned to the meeting room.
To his utter surprise, the moment he stepped into the meeting room, he was met with the silent, coldly observing Tsuchikage, Onoki. Onoki's face was expressionless, but his deep eyes gleamed with an unfathomable light that sent chills down his spine.
At that moment, Onoki, the Tsuchikage who had been observing from the sidelines, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He knew the immense power contained within the Mangekyou Sharingan, and was well aware of its immense potential. Although the Uchiha Sasuke before him was vastly different from the once-mighty and feared Uchiha Madara, who could say that this young man wouldn't grow into such a terrifying being in the future?
Initially, Onokimoto hoped that the Mizukage could quickly defeat and eliminate Uchiha Sasuke. However, things didn't go as planned, and given the current situation, this had clearly become a pipe dream. He would not allow Uchiha Sasuke to have any further chance of growing stronger, because in his heart, only the dead Uchiha clan members could give him peace of mind and ensure that Iwagakure would not be threatened or destroyed.
"Dust Release - Metaverse Detachment Technique!" The Earth Shadow shouted, quickly bringing his hands together. In an instant, an extremely dazzling white light emanated from his palms. The light was like the blazing sun, so bright that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
Then, the dazzling light began to condense and converge, gradually forming a huge square constructed of light. This square emitted a chilling energy fluctuation, as if it could tear everything apart.
The Tsuchikage's eyes were like torches, fixed intently on Uchiha Sasuke not far away. With a flick of his arm, the square of light shot towards Uchiha Sasuke with lightning speed. The speed was so fast that no one had time to react.
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha was completely stunned by the sudden attack. His eyes widened as he tried to dodge, but it was too late. The square of light instantly enveloped him.
Once enveloped in the light, Sasuke Uchiha couldn't even muster a struggle. Like an ice block thrown into a furnace, he melted away in the blink of an eye. His body seemed to be completely disintegrated by that mysterious and powerful force, turning into specks of starlight that dissipated into the air, disappearing directly into the square formed by the light.
"Haha, finally solved!" Tsuchikage Onoki said casually, then turned his head indifferently, his gaze falling on the Mizukage, Raikage, and Kazekage who had rushed over. His eyes clearly carried a hint of smugness and pride, as if he were showing off his powerful strength to the other three Kage, wanting to give them a warning and instill fear in them.
However, despite Onoki's blatant display of power, the Mizukage, Raikage, and Kazekage showed no surprise or fear whatsoever. On the contrary, their expressions remained as calm as ever, as if they didn't take Onoki's astonishing strength seriously at all.
However, a closer look would reveal a barely concealed apprehension deep within their eyes. After all, the bloodline limit technique that Onoki had just used, a technique passed down through generations in Iwagakure, was terrifyingly powerful! They had personally tested the defenses of Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo, knowing it was practically indestructible. Yet, even that couldn't withstand Onoki's Dust Release's lightning strike, instantly shattering it. Thinking of this, the three naturally felt even greater awe for Onoki's strength.
Just as they were about to continue their conversation, a subtle yet undeniable spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared not far from them. Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it, and they saw that the previously empty space had begun to distort and deform, as if being kneaded by an unseen hand.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly stepped out from the distorted space. The newcomer was dressed in a black robe and wore a mysterious mask that completely concealed his face. Beside him, he supported the heavily injured and seemingly weak Uchiha Sasuke.
The moment this Akatsuki member appeared, the Sharingan in his single eye began to spin rapidly, its crimson light flickering like a burning flame. His sharp gaze swept across everyone present like lightning, seemingly trying to see through the deepest secrets of their hearts.
After a brief pause, he looked down at Uchiha Sasuke beside him and said in a deep, unwavering tone, "Go into my space first to recover and recuperate, and get back to your normal condition as soon as possible. I'll take you directly to track down that old fox, Shimura Danzo, and we won't let him escape our grasp so easily. But before that, I have a few words I'd like to say to the others here!" With that, his single Sharingan focused on Uchiha Sasuke, and a spatial vortex appeared out of thin air, emanating a chilling aura. Then, Uchiha Sasuke's figure was swallowed by the spatial vortex and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The masked man then casually sat cross-legged on the table in the meeting room, looking at the Kage of the various ninja villages before him.
