"Susanoo..."
Yakushi Kabuto's face was gloomy.
For this invasion of the Hidden Leaf, he had secretly investigated for a long time, repeatedly confirming that high-threat figures like Tsunade and Jiraiya had all left the village before reporting to Orochimaru.
Unexpectedly, such a huge oversight occurred!
Guren was also bewildered: "There is another Mangekyo Uchiha in the Hidden Leaf Village?"
"Ahhh!"
At this time, Jūgo's wailing interrupted their thoughts.
The two cast their eyes over and found that Jūgo was now covered in black 'Amaterasu' flames. If not for activating the 'Cursed Seal' and possessing a physique far surpassing ordinary people, he would have likely died under the 'Amaterasu' flames by now, unable to even utter a wail.
"Save him!"
Yakushi Kabuto growled.
Guren hurriedly formed hand seals: "Crystal Release: Crimson Fruit!"
Instantly, a hard, translucent red crystal encased Jūgo.
However, to Guren's surprise, after being encased by her 'Crystal Release', the 'Amaterasu' flames attached to Jūgo did not extinguish but instead burned onto her 'Crystal Release'.
However, because the 'Crystal Release' attracted the 'Amaterasu' flames, Jūgo, sealed inside the crystal, temporarily escaped the burning of 'Amaterasu'. But if the crystal outside was completely burned away by 'Amaterasu', Jūgo sealed inside would still be doomed.
"So... so strong Fire Release!"
Secretly alarmed, Guren formed seals again. Taking advantage of the gap while 'Amaterasu' was still burning her 'Crystal Release', she urged chakra to crack the 'Crystal Release', exposing Jūgo sealed inside. Then she threw a ninja tool grappling hook, hooking Jūgo and dragging him out from under 'Amaterasu'.
While Guren managed to rescue Jūgo, Yakushi Kabuto looked vigilantly at Mumei opposite.
He calculated everything but didn't calculate that besides Shinji Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha, there was a third Mangekyo Uchiha in the Hidden Leaf Village.
Especially since Mumei's 'Susanoo' was actually red!
One must know that the 'Susanoo' of Akatsuki member 'B' was red!
However, he had fought Karin after all. In 'Sage Mode', his perception was extraordinary, so he quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and judged that Mumei opposite was not Akatsuki's 'B'.
Sasuke still looked dazed, muttering: "How... how is this possible!?"
Inside the Captain's office of the Military Police Building.
"So strong!?"
"Awesome!"
"So Mumei is also a Mangekyo Uchiha!"
The peers cheered in unison!
Compared to everyone else feeling like survivors of a disaster, Shikamaru was much calmer. He stole a glance at Shinji and seeing Shinji still looking calm, he thought: "Not surprised at all, Shinji indeed knew everything!"
Immediately, countless questions flooded Shikamaru's mind.
For example, why Mumei was a Mangekyo Uchiha. One must know that after the Uchiha Clan Massacre, besides the defected Itachi Uchiha, only Shinji Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha remained in the entire Uchiha clan. So he couldn't understand where exactly Mumei popped out from!
In addition, Mumei's red 'Susanoo' also gave him the same association as Yakushi Kabuto. And he had no experience fighting 'B', so in his mind, the characteristics of Mumei and Akatsuki's 'B' matched almost perfectly.
Mumei stepped forward, walking slowly towards Yakushi Kabuto: "Surrender, and you don't have to die!"
"Tch..."
Yakushi Kabuto spat.
Although the opponent showed powerful strength, since mastering 'Sage Mode', no one could make him surrender without a fight, not even Akatsuki's 'B'.
Immediately, he bit his fingertip and began forming hand seals.
Poof poof poof...
Accompanied by a burst of rising white smoke, five coffins rose from the ground and appeared on the battlefield.
However, before the coffin lids fell, the five coffins standing in front of Yakushi Kabuto were all ignited by the black flames of 'Amaterasu'.
Amidst the crackle crackle burning sounds, the outer coffins were instantly burned down, followed by the 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies inside.
These 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies could indeed recover continuously, but the black flames of 'Amaterasu' also had the characteristic of never extinguishing. So the 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies burned by 'Amaterasu' were burned to ashes while recovering from ashes, repeating the cycle like this.
"This!?"
Yakushi Kabuto was stunned seeing this.
He never expected that the opponent would break the five 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies he summoned in this way. One must know that the 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies summoned by him at this critical juncture were, without exception, all carefully selected by him.
Moreover, from the start of the action until now, the opponent had used 'Tsukuyomi', 'Susanoo', and 'Amaterasu', three Mangekyo pupil techniques successively.
Reasonably speaking, using Mangekyo pupil techniques so frequently, the opponent should be very strained. But he found that the opponent seemed fine, as if what she used just now were not Mangekyo Sharingan level pupil techniques, but ordinary ninjutsu.
Realizing the situation was bad, Yakushi Kabuto hurriedly shouted to Guren: "Find a way to wake up Orochimaru-sama, I'll hold her off!"
"Understood!"
Guren hesitated for a moment, then pounced towards Orochimaru who stood dazed under 'Tsukuyomi'.
Boom...
Instantly, Mumei urged her 'Susanoo'. From the 'Susanoo' which was originally only in rib cage state protecting her, a skeletal arm extended out, smashing fiercely onto the open ground between Guren and Orochimaru, blocking Guren who tried to approach Orochimaru.
Just then, taking advantage of Mumei being slightly distracted, Yakushi Kabuto formed seals and activated Sage Art: 'Inorganic Reincarnation'.
Rumble...
Just like when fighting Sasuke before, the ground shook first. Then, the bricks, stones, and soil rose as if they had life of their own, quickly forming a huge semi-circular sphere inverted on the ground, trapping Mumei along with the 'Susanoo' protecting her inside.
Undoubtedly, after experiencing Mumei's power, Yakushi Kabuto wanted to follow suit and use the move used against Sasuke to deal with Mumei.
Sasuke, who was thrown aside, was greatly shocked seeing this. Ignoring his surprise at Mumei's power, he shouted immediately: "Mumei be careful! This is his Senjutsu, our 'Susanoo' cannot defend against it at all..."
Before Sasuke finished speaking, Yakushi Kabuto had already activated Sage Art: 'White Rage Technique'. That dragon shadow holding a black ball whooshed into the rock sphere inverted on the ground.
"Bad!"
Sasuke instantly felt hopeless.
In his view, this move of Yakushi Kabuto was simply undefendable. Even 'Susanoo' with the title of 'Absolute Defense' couldn't block it.
After the ear-piercing loud noise and the flashing white light disappeared, the huge inverted rock sphere created by Yakushi Kabuto's Senjutsu chakra began to collapse, revealing the scene inside.
Everyone on the field, regardless of friend or foe, focused their gaze inside the rock sphere at this moment.
As the dust settled, the figure of the red 'Susanoo' was revealed in everyone's view.
Under 'Susanoo', Mumei glanced at Sasuke in the distance and said lightly: "Unable to defend, only means you reached your limit, not 'Susanoo's' limit!"
