Chapter 346: The Final Blow
"Too slow."
As Haruno Sakura said this, her hands were forming seals.
Just one seal, and chakra gushed out rapidly. The hair on the Ice Golem's cheeks suddenly rose and elongated, entangling the incoming Mist ninja, binding him tightly and choking him!
"Damn it..." The Mist ninja swung his long sword with all his might, but his body was already entangled by the blue hair and couldn't advance any further. The slash, which was calculated to pierce the girl's heart, stopped abruptly in front of her chest.
Seeing that he was only a few centimeters away from drinking warm blood, the momentum of the charge was completely exhausted. The distance of a few centimeters finally became an insurmountable obstacle in his life! In this instant, the despair on the Mist ninja's face froze. In the next moment, he was rolled up by the Ice Golem's hair, letting out a meaningless cry, and then was thrown to the ground fiercely like a whip!
With a dull thud, the Mist ninja was thrown to the ground, silent.
Maybe he's dead?
Haruno Sakura had no time to worry about this question.
Because... this was still just a feint by the enemy!
While her attention was attracted by this Mist ninja, the true killing move of the Mist ninja took the opportunity to appear!
The killing move was hidden in the Fūma Shuriken she had just dodged.
The moment she dealt with the Mist ninja rushing up from behind, the shuriken poofed back to its original appearance: it was a tall and burly ninja holding a huge fish-shaped sword.
In mid-air, he twisted his body, and the fish-shaped sword suddenly emitted a dazzling light, condensing into a chakra light ball half the height of a person.
Just by looking at it, one could feel the immense power contained in this light ball!
Every bit of its light was announcing its presence, making people alert and fearful.
As if shouting danger!
"Hiramekarei Release!"
The burly ninja shouted loudly. The light ball had already formed the moment he swung the big sword. With a slash in the air, the light ball swung out a gorgeous light path, blasting towards Haruno Sakura with the speed of thunder covering ears!
The moment the girl finished off the first Mist ninja, she felt the movement behind her.
When she turned her head to look, the light ball was already close at hand!
"Die!" the burly ninja shouted angrily, as if he had already seen the scene of the girl being blasted to pieces by the chakra light ball!
It was too late for her to intercept or dodge. The Mist ninja using Hiramekarei to launch the sneak attack was certain of this.
The Ice Golem suddenly raised its right hand, wanting to block Hiramekarei's move, but it was still a beat too slow. The light ball brutally shattered the fingers that the giant didn't have time to close, and continued to fly towards Haruno Sakura rampantly; Mei Terumī's eyes widened instantly, her thumb and index finger opened fiercely, and the Water Formation Wall separated a torrent, shooting rapidly at the light ball, but it still couldn't catch up with its speed!
As for the pink-haired girl, she was still in a paralyzed state by the pollen. Her body movements were still difficult, and even turning her head was a bit stiff, let alone making high-speed dodging movements!
In the blink of an eye, he tried hard to widen his eyes, wanting to see the expression on the girl's face clearly.
Panic? Astonishment? Or helplessness?
However, it was none of them.
The Mist ninja saw with disappointment that Haruno Sakura's face was still calm.
"This time, it was very fast." The moment their eyes met in the air, he seemed to see the girl saying this sentence.
Then, swish! Within 0.01 seconds of the light ball touching the tip of her nose, she disappeared in front of the Mist ninja!
The chakra light ball whooshed through the girl's afterimage, passed through the air without any obstruction, flew into the distance, and turned into a star point disappearing into the invisible distance.
Haruno Sakura's figure appeared on the forehead of the Ice Golem in the next second. There was a faint redness on the tip of her nose, which was the only injury Hiramekarei left on her. It quickly healed naturally and disappeared without a trace.
With two swish sounds, at this time, the Ice Golem's arm and Mei Terumī's Water Style defense arrived belatedly!
"What a fast Body Flicker!" The Mist ninja was shocked in his heart, his figure falling with the Hiramekarei sword.
This was his last thought.
In the next moment, a silver-white jet slashed through the air!
The strongest wave of counterattacks by the rebels was declared a failure.
The First Elder's face was livid. Many ninja below the stage looked at each other speechlessly, and finally, someone's eyes began to flicker.
Can't beat her!
Even such an attack could be dodged by her, so how could they fight?
With such a fast Body Flicker, what kind of attack could hit her?
An unsolvable problem.
What if the target of the attack just now was changed to Mei Terumī? Still meaningless... Even if the Mizukage could be seriously injured, without taking out the Ice Golem, the remaining Haruno Sakura could still beat them all alone.
Fighting until here, they had begun to realize that the Suikazan line had lost this battle.
The remaining surviving ninja gradually lost hope, and the brilliance in their eyes dimmed. They just instinctively cast ninjutsu, resisting the next attack of the two women.
Even the First Elder felt waves of despair as his painstakingly designed killing move failed to work!
"Lava Style: Melting Apparition Technique!"
Facing Mei Terumī's third wave of attacks, the rebels gathered together and jointly used an unprecedentedly powerful Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu. The water dragon, two to three hundred meters long, barely blocked the offensive of the Lava Style. Both perished together, turning into drizzling rain and scattered gravel falling to the ground.
Facing Mei Terumī's ninjutsu for the third time, they had gradually found the trick to dealing with it. Successfully blocking the Mizukage's powerful Kekkei Genkai ninjutsu lifted the spirits of the rebels immediately.
However, this was only Mei Terumī's attack.
What about Haruno Sakura's ninjutsu?
The Mist ninja looked up and saw her soft pink hair falling from its flying state. The upturned hem of her clothes was still sticking to her waist, revealing a touch of fair skin; the aftermath of the chakra gradually subsided, proving that the girl had just used a lot of chakra to cast another desperate ninjutsu!
This time, it was no longer the Legion Ice Clone Explosion Technique.
There were no overwhelming, terrifying self-destructing clones like just now.
The Mist ninja breathed a sigh of relief secretly. Having experienced the scene of endless clone bombardment just now, no one wanted to face that ninjutsu again!
It was just that the chain clone explosion technique was already terrifying enough. If it wasn't that, what kind of ninjutsu would it be?
Sakura didn't make them wait too long.
Just as the Mist ninja were suspicious, someone discovered a clue from a large shadow that suddenly appeared on the ground.
He looked up at the sky above his head. An unimaginably huge giant creature floated in the air, blocking the light, blocking half the sky, and enveloping most of the training ground in darkness!
"No way..."
The Mist ninja muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly.
"It's over."
Haruno Sakura said softly, without joy or sorrow.
She raised her right hand and then swung it down fiercely!
"Ice Style: Leviathan's Wrath!"
BOOM—!
When the huge Ice Golem and the even huger ferocious behemoth appeared in the sky, the entire Mist Village could see these two ninjutsu.
When the Leviathan crashed down, the shockwave generated by the impact even uprooted the buildings within two hundred meters! The aftermath was mighty, resounding through the clouds, and the entire Mist Village seemed to tremble in this attack!
No one needed to be told. When the Mist ninja watching from further away saw that ninjutsu, they realized that the battle was over.
This was the decisive final blow!
Did the Fifth Mizukage win?
When they rushed to the battlefield, the first thing that caught their eyes was a deep pit, a huge pit dozens of meters deep; the original training ground was gone!
The completely changed terrain, the ruin-like scene, and the mess of surrounding buildings made the Mist ninja almost unable to recognize that this used to be the largest training ground in the Mist.
"You're here." Mei Terumī stood on a pile of broken ice at the highest point of the ruins, watching their arrival, and said calmly.
Their Lord Fifth Mizukage, after a fierce battle, still maintained an image of elegance, beauty, and sexiness. standing tall and graceful, her figure and demeanor remained the same, her clothes neat, leaving not even a wrinkle from the battle.
If not for the smell of smoke on her body, the sweat faintly visible on her face, and the killing intent still lingering in her eyes, the arriving Mist ninja wouldn't even be able to tell that she had just been in a life-or-death struggle!
The Konoha girl stood beside her, standing tall, shining with the Fifth Mizukage's momentum. Her aura and presence were not weaker than hers at all. Hearing Mei Terumī speak, a pair of light green eyes also looked over.
"You won?"
They asked.
"Yes, we won."
After Mei Terumī finished this sentence, the killing intent finally faded away. The plain expression on her face was replaced by a graceful smile. Her eyes looked at everyone like autumn water, restoring the gentle and amiable image of the Mizukage in the past.
"Thanks to Konoha's help... I announce that starting today, the Mist has completely got rid of the shadow of the Village of the Bloody Mist and will never return to that bloody and dark era!"
She shouted loudly.
The Mist ninja cheered subconsciously!
Haruno Sakura smiled faintly on the side, walked to her three students, and patted their heads. The four stood aside and watched the Mist's celebration quietly.
However, although Mei Terumī said she had completely got rid of the residual poison of the Village of the Bloody Mist, she actually hadn't.
Not to mention these neutral ninja, even Mei Terumī's diehard supporters, not everyone could get rid of the influence of the old era.
Many of them still hadn't turned their thinking around. The traces left by the Village of the Bloody Mist were too deep, and might affect their thoughts for many years, or even a lifetime.
Getting along harmoniously and lovingly with companions as advocated by Mei Terumī might still be considered by the old-school Mist ninja as a sign of weakness and womanly benevolence, which was seriously inconsistent with the Mist's consistent cold and ruthless style.
Don't worry, everything will be fine. Mei Terumī was very confident about this.
During her term, Mei Terumī would dispel the darkness of the Mist and build the village into a place full of light.
And the first step was to completely eradicate the Suikazan faction!
