Chapter 189: Susanoo Slashes Yagura
"How is that possible..." Yagura looked at the giant before him, his armor shattered in places but still exuding an imposing aura, a look of disbelief on his face.
Recalling his confident appearance before, along with the shame and anger, a sense of helplessness suddenly rose in his heart.
The wounds caused by Kyosuke's Fire Release and swordsmanship had been exacerbated by the battle. In addition, with the massive consumption of his stamina and chakra, Yagura, at this time, could no longer care about the dignity of the Mizukage and was preparing to flee.
However, his intentions were detected by Kyosuke in advance. The ability of his left eye was used again, and Yagura's original escape route was suddenly changed to a charge at him.
It was clear that Kyosuke had used the ability of distortion to forcibly change Yagura's escape direction.
"...You're going too far," Yagura said. Seeing that he could not escape smoothly, he, in his anger, simply charged at Kyosuke again.
In his opinion, although the giant Kyosuke had summoned was powerful, it must have consumed a great deal of chakra to maintain. Since he couldn't escape, then let's see who could last longer.
It had to be said that Yagura, who had not yet become a jinchuriki, although his strength was not too strong in the ranks of the Kage, his combat experience was indeed rich, and he soon discovered Kyosuke's weak point.
The facts were just as he had predicted. Kyosuke, at this time, was already having trouble maintaining the existence of Susanoo. But with the mission not yet complete, no matter how difficult it was, Kyosuke would do his best to maintain it until he had successfully killed the enemy.
Ignoring the water dragon that was charging at him again, a thought flashed in Kyosuke's mind. Susanoo's sword-wielding right arm suddenly lifted and then swung down.
Instantly, the huge water dragon was split in two, and then it continued toward Yagura with undiminished momentum.
"Such a fast slash," Yagura's pupils contracted. Unable to dodge in time, he could only force himself to use a huge water curtain, preparing to rely on it to defend against Susanoo's attack.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall."
Unfortunately, the third stage of Susanoo was not something that could be blocked by a defensive ninjutsu of this level.
The water curtain, like the previous water dragon, was almost instantly shattered in the face of the extremely powerful slash. Not only did it fail to block the attack in the slightest, but even the Yagura it had enveloped had his right arm cut off by Susanoo's sword.
With a muffled grunt, cold sweat instantly streamed down Yagura's forehead. But in this critical moment of life and death, he didn't care about the pain. While Susanoo had not yet launched another attack, he stomped his foot on the ground, and with a burst of chakra, he instantly used the Body Flicker Technique to get in front of Kyosuke, and his left arm, holding the coral staff, swung it over with force.
"Coral Staff: Four-Hit Combo."
Four ethereal staff shadows, even with Kyosuke's visual prowess, it was difficult to distinguish which was the real staff at the first moment. But now, even if he couldn't distinguish, it didn't matter, because it couldn't harm him.
Sure enough, with a loud bang, the outer armor of Susanoo blocked Yagura's attack without a single scratch.
Through the purple-red Susanoo, Kyosuke could clearly see the mixed expression of anger and fear on Yagura's face. He sneered and said, "Today, I will use your death to commemorate the dead ninja of Konoha."
The moment his words fell, Susanoo's free left arm suddenly raised high, and three purple-red magatama, made entirely of energy, appeared in its hand.
"Yasaka Magatama."
"Die, Yagura!!!"
Boom!
A violent explosion occurred. After the system's notification sounded in his mind, Kyosuke immediately cancelled the Susanoo on his body.
"Damn it," he cursed in his heart. Kyosuke wiped away the blood and tears that had been left from the excessive consumption of his visual prowess, turned to the others, and said, "The mission is complete. Prepare to break out."
Hearing Kyosuke's words, the few people present finally recovered from their daze. They looked at Kyosuke, and the shock in their hearts was almost palpable.
"Yagura, the Mizukage, Yagura, really died at his hands," a Kage Guard muttered to himself.
Although they had come here to assassinate the Mizukage, they had been prepared to die, and even to die with the enemy. They had never thought that things would develop like this, that they would complete this mission with almost no effort.
"Did you hear what I said?" Kyosuke asked again with a helpless tone, seeing that they still hadn't recovered.
This time, the crowd finally came to their senses completely. One of them, a ninja with sensory abilities, closed his eyes and explored for a while, and then he turned and pointed in a certain direction. "There are almost no Mist ninja there."
"Whew..." He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his body and eyes, and Kyosuke waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Instantly, the few of them quickly rushed in the direction their comrade had pointed.
A few minutes later, the Mist unit that had evacuated the small island finally realized that something was wrong, because there had been no sound of fighting from the island for a long time.
Just then, a person suddenly ran over from a distance.
He ran up, and before his breathing had even stabilized, this person said hastily, "Intelligence has come. Uchiha Kyosuke has led his subordinates and has broken out from the other side of the island. Should we pursue?"
Minazuki Saya and Mangetsu Hozuki exchanged a look. They could both see a hint of surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"That brat... really killed Yagura?!" Minazuki Saya thought for a moment, and then symbolically sent a few teams to pursue them. She then asked the question that everyone was most concerned about. "How is Lord Mizukage's situation?"
"I just sent someone to scout the island. It should be soon..." Before he could finish, the ninja who had been sent to scout had already run over.
From his panicked expression, Minazuki Saya and the others could tell that the Mizukage was likely in a bad situation.
Sure enough, what this person said next proved the crowd's guess.
"Lo-Lord Mizukage... he's... dead..."
Hearing this, Minazuki Saya and Mangetsu Hozuki exchanged a look again, and then, almost at the same time, they turned and gave their clansmen a look.
Since the Mizukage had been confirmed dead, then which clan could ascend to the position of Mizukage would depend on whose methods were stronger.
And it wasn't just the two of them who had this idea. The other powerhouses with the strength and qualifications to compete for the position of Mizukage also began to stir. As for whether to attack Konoha to avenge the Mizukage, they said they would talk about it after they had taken power.
And so, by killing the Mizukage, Yagura, Kyosuke had not only avenged the countless dead Konoha ninja, but had also completely eliminated the threat from the Mist. By the time the Mist Village had decided the next Mizukage through a bloody battle, the war would probably have been over long ago.
