Chapter 132
"What the hell is this?"
Kakashi's dead-fish eyes widened as he spoke: "We're actually protecting this kind of power???"
Gai, being straightforward as always, said whatever came to mind in his loud voice: "Do they even need our protection?"
Kakashi: "…"
Amid the wind and snow, a towering blue chakra giant over a hundred meters tall stood proudly, bow in hand, like a divine statue radiating majesty.
Behind Susanoo, a pair of massive wings slowly unfurled. Piece by piece, armor plates covered its body…
Inside Susanoo, in Naruto's mind, the system notification sounded.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Rewards obtained: Water-Style Chakra Activation, Water-Style Chakra Mastery."
Naruto didn't even pay attention to the system prompt.
Because a fact right in front of him shocked him far more.
It's common knowledge that the Mangekyō Sharingan cannot manifest a Perfect Susanoo.
Last time in the Kamui dimension, Sakyo had acted like a god, opening a Perfect Susanoo—Naruto hadn't thought much of it then.
But now, he finally noticed the anomaly.
"System, do you know why?"
"Ding~ Detecting the reason requires 100 system points."
"System, you only ever ask me for points—you never told me how to earn them!"
"Right now I only have a few thousand points, and you're squeezing me dry—are you even human?"
"Ding~ Information on how to acquire system points will only be provided after the host completes the beginner graduation mission."
"…"
"Fine, detect it."
"Ding~ Host spent 100 system points. Detection successful."
"Ding~ Detection result: The pupil power of the Sharingan fluctuates up and down depending on each person's unique talent, different advancement scenarios, and varying degrees of emotional fluctuation. Over thousands of years in the ninja world, no one has appeared who could manifest a Perfect Susanoo with the Mangekyō Sharingan, but that does not mean it's completely impossible."
"Good grief… so Little Sakyo is an unprecedented super genius?"
Naruto thought about it and accepted this setting.
He had a system—Sakyo, as the male second lead in the original story and the female lead of this world, having this special trait wasn't too much.
Now, with Naruto's chakra at her disposal, Sakyo pushed the Mangekyō Sharingan's potential to the absolute limit.
The Mangekyō Sharingan crazily converted chakra into pupil power. Even after opening Perfect Susanoo, it didn't stop—causing Susanoo's size to keep expanding…
"Little Sakyo-chan, stop for a second. Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"
"You're wasting Mangekyō Sharingan uses like this—you'll go blind."
Naruto watched the buildings and people below shrinking smaller and smaller, and couldn't help reminding Sakyo.
Right now, Sakyo had truly gained power and forgotten the pain.
Just earlier, Sakyo had shed blood-tears from overusing the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Yet now the wound hadn't even healed before she forgot the pain…
Sakyo, reminded by Naruto, suddenly realized he was right!
Naruto had told her: overuse of Mangekyō Sharingan causes blindness.
And she had just deeply felt her vision declining…
So Sakyo stopped letting Susanoo grow in size and chakra strength—she maintained it only at this level.
Naruto sensed his chakra draining like flowing water and couldn't help twitching his mouth.
This chakra consumption rate—Naruto now understood why Kakashi got exhausted.
If he wasn't exhausted, it would be abnormal…
Whoosh~
The current Susanoo could cause massive disturbances with every movement.
Sakyo disliked the bow's limited range, so she used her pupil power to retract the arrow and condense a fan instead.
Susanoo's movements weren't slow at all. After taking the fan, it swung without hesitation toward the Snow Ninjas.
BOOM!!!!!
A natural disaster-like Wind Style formed instantly. The entire Snow Ninja base collapsed almost immediately. With the extremely wide coverage, not a single Snow Ninja escaped.
Because… the speed granted by their chakra armor didn't allow them to run!
Seeing this result, Sakyo couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe! This is the U… uh?"
Suddenly, Sakyo paused mid-sentence and glanced at Naruto beside her.
"This is the power of me and Naruto! Hehe~"
Facing this chuunibyou declaration, Naruto was speechless.
Naruto: "…"
Now, Sakyo was extremely satisfied with her and Naruto's power.
As long as the two of them teamed up, they could definitely defeat Uchiha Itachi and avenge the clan!
Sizzle~
The battle ended. Under Sakyo's control, Susanoo began to disappear.
Finally, Sakyo and Naruto appeared in an open clearing.
On the ship, Sakura rubbed her eyes and said to Ino: "Ino, I'm not dreaming, right?"
What the hell was that?
What the actual hell was going on?
"I must be dreaming! Yes! I must be dreaming!"
Sakura was completely shocked by that massive Susanoo—she kept muttering that she was dreaming…
Because in Sakura's worldview, this level of combat power simply didn't exist.
This… was probably the strongest in the world?
Ino's reaction wasn't much better…
Naruto and Sakyo walked side by side toward the ship. Along the way, the Konoha ninjas all stepped aside to let them pass.
Kakashi no longer knew what to say. Even with his vast experience, he now felt extremely troubled.
If this kind of combat power appeared inside the village, Konoha would be finished!
But looking at Naruto and Sakyo's attitude, they didn't seem to harbor much malice toward Konoha.
No!
Kakashi slapped his forehead and understood.
What was he even thinking?
Naruto was originally from Konoha. Uchiha Sasuke was a legitimate Konoha ninja.
What Kakashi needed to worry about now wasn't a group of enemies suddenly appearing that Naruto and Sakyo couldn't handle, then forcibly taking the jinchūriki.
It was how to report this to the Third Hokage.
And Konoha's attitude toward Naruto and Sakyo would probably need to change.
Of course, that was something for the Third Hokage to worry about—not him.
On board, Naruto yawned and said: "Fūka Natsunami is dead, the Snow Ninjas are gone. Our mission is over—time to head back to the village?"
This was clearly directed at Sakyo.
But suddenly an old man rushed out from the crowd, knelt before Naruto and Sakyo with tears of gratitude, thanking them nonstop.
Sakyo couldn't stand an old man showing her such great respect—she instinctively stepped aside.
Naruto helped the three doctors up and said: "Don't be so excited. Go help the princess ascend."
Naruto and Sakyo's purpose wasn't to help the Land of Snow.
But since everyone else had done it, Naruto wouldn't point it out.
