Chapter 195: [Bloodline Mecha] vs. [Susanoo]!
Bloodline Mecha Unit 01: Shikotsumyaku.
The pilot, Kimimaro, had his will deeply linked with this pale, killing machine.
The bio-alloy skeleton emitted a low hum beneath the modular battle armor. This hum was a prelude to destruction, played jointly by the chakra core and the technological engine.
On the other side, Shisui Uchiha's Susanoo stood like an emerald god of war. It held a spiral sword, its chakra wings beating slightly. Each beat stirred up invisible wind pressure.
There was no probing.
With a thought from Kimimaro, the heavy bone armor covering the mecha's right arm popped open. A giant bone blade, flashing with high-temperature red light, extended angrily. Energy patterns flowed rapidly across the blade!
Bone Pulse Scientific Ninja Tool: Thermal Bone Blade!
BOOM—!
The ground beneath the mecha cracked instantly. The tens of tons of steel beast roared with its vector thrusters. It turned into a pale blur, pouncing straight at the Susanoo! The bone blade tore through the atmosphere with a screech!
Shisui's gaze was sharp. The chakra wings behind the Susanoo suddenly burst with brilliant light! Just as the bone blade was about to hit, the emerald Susanoo turned into an almost imperceptible stream of light. It dodged the strike by a hair's breadth!
The bone blade slashed fiercely into empty space. The terrifying energy shockwave gouged a deep trench tens of meters long into the earth. Debris flew, and dust filled the sky!
"Don't think you can escape!"
Kimimaro's voice came through the mecha's speakers, cold and emotionless.
The armor modules on the mecha's shoulders and back quickly transformed and deployed, revealing dozens of dark launch ports.
Bone Missile Barrage!
Rapid-Fire Chakra Beams!
Thwip-thwip-thwip—!
Bone missiles, fused with Shikotsumyaku properties and other auxiliary Kekkei Genkai, trailed pale flames as they sealed off all possible evasion routes for the Susanoo! Following closely were dozens of highly condensed chakra beams, weaving a web of death!
"Hmph."
Shisui snorted coldly. The Susanoo's wings slammed together in front of its body. Emerald chakra condensed to a high density, forming a solid barrier flowing with storm patterns!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!
The bone missiles and chakra beams poured onto the emerald barrier like a torrential storm. A continuous series of violent explosions erupted! Each explosion shook the emerald light wall violently. The escaping shockwaves blew the surrounding debris away again!
Amidst the dust and firelight, the Susanoo's figure flickered.
Suddenly!
Inside the mecha cockpit, the tactical AI blared an urgent alarm!
[WARNING! High Energy Reaction Rapidly Approaching! Left Flank!]
Kimimaro's pupils contracted, and he almost instinctively piloted the mecha into an emergency evasion to the right!
An emerald stream of light had broken through the smoke screen of the explosion unnoticed. It was Shisui's Susanoo! The tip of the spiral sword, condensed with blinding emerald light, stabbed straight at the relatively weak armor joint at the mecha's waist!
Kimimaro could even feel the terrifying penetrating power contained in that sword tip!
In the nick of time!
The armor on the mecha's left arm instantly proliferated and transformed. Dozens of thick, sharp bone spurs formed an irregular Shikotsumyaku: Bone Shield, barely blocking the sword tip!
CLANG—ZZZZZT!!!
The spiral sword ground violently against the bone shield, erupting with ear-piercing metal screeching and dazzling energy sparks! The bone shield shattered layer by layer, the sword tip advancing with difficulty!
"Break!"
Shisui shouted low. The spiral sword suddenly burst with stronger light, forcefully piercing the last layer of the bone shield. The tip grazed the core of the mecha's bio-alloy skeleton!
SQUELCH—!
An energy wound deep enough to see bone appeared on the mecha's waist. Massive amounts of energy conduits ruptured, emitting purple-black arcs of electricity! The mecha's colossal body shook violently, thrusters misfiring, nearly toppling over!
But.
The bio-skeletal structure at the damaged part of the mecha began to wriggle and proliferate rapidly, attempting to repair the wound. At the same time, he activated the hidden weapon system!
The armor plates on the mecha's wrists slid open, revealing dark Chakra Gatling Muzzles!
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT—!
Violent chakra energy bullets poured onto the Susanoo at close range! Not only that, the cannon on the mecha's shoulder recharged, locking onto Shisui inside the Susanoo!
Shoulder-Mounted Bone Pulse Charge Cannon!
Shisui's pupils narrowed slightly. The wings behind the Susanoo flapped hard, trying to create distance. However, the Chakra Gatling barrage was too dense. The spiral sword returned to block, but several energy bullets still bombarded the Susanoo's arms and chest plate. They exploded into ripples of emerald energy!
The Susanoo's movement stagnated for a split second!
At that moment, the shoulder cannon fired! A beam of energy even more violent than before blasted straight toward Shisui inside the Susanoo!
In a flash of lightning, Shisui displayed supernatural combat intuition! The Susanoo actually abandoned dodging completely, turning sideways at an unbelievable angle! At the same time, the chakra armor on its left arm thickened instantly, forcibly taking the energy beam head-on!
BOOOOOM—!!!
An earth-shattering explosion!
The Susanoo's left shoulder, along with part of the arm's chakra armor, was utterly shattered and evaporated under the direct bombardment of the energy beam! The powerful impact sent the entire Susanoo skidding back tens of meters, plowing two deep trenches in the ground! The emerald chakra light dimmed slightly as a result!
"Ugh—"
Shisui grunted, the pattern in his Mangekyo Sharingan spinning rapidly, forcibly stabilizing the Susanoo.
Trading injury for injury!
No, he had avoided a fatal blow aimed at himself by taking relatively minor damage!
And Kimimaro's mecha, although damaged at the waist, had its core intact. Its fierce firepower still posed a huge threat to the Susanoo.
Two behemoths faced off again over the ruins of the Chunin Exams arena.
One was an emerald chakra god of war with a missing left arm. The other was a pale skeletal machine god with energy arcs sparking from its waist.
The earth trembled and wailed beneath their feet.
The surroundings of the exam venue, except for the area within Orochimaru's barrier, had long been turned to dust.
The clash between the Mecha and the Susanoo.
And the ancient existence named "Zetsu," quietly observing from a corner.
"Hmm…"
Kyubey tilted its head, looking in Black Zetsu's direction.
It seemed to feel there was no need to keep hiding. Better to stream it for more energy and chat group rewards.
So, its tail wagged gently.
