Chapter 131
The Snow Ninjas' attacks continued for a long time. Fūka Natsunami finally ordered: "Stop!"
After such prolonged and intense bombardment, let alone a human or materialized chakra construct—even a defense armor forged from the hardest steel would have been reduced to scraps.
Below the flying snow foam, a flash of blue light flickered.
Whoosh~
Sakyo's Susanoo appeared in front of everyone… and… completely undamaged!
At the same time, Susanoo aimed its massive bow and arrow straight at Fūka Natsunami.
Down below, Sakyo was already feeling strained.
Her chakra could no longer support converting more pupil power—her time was running out.
Just moments ago, Sakyo had boasted to Naruto that she could take on the entire Snow Ninja force plus Fūka Natsunami alone.
And the result?
She had recklessly jumped right in, endured endless ninjutsu bombardment for so long, and hadn't even taken down a single enemy.
At the very least… she had to kill Fūka Natsunami to make her battle record less embarrassing!
Sakyo gritted her teeth and endured. Susanoo drew the bowstring.
In mid-air, Fūka Natsunami stared dumbfounded at the enormous Susanoo, shocked: "Impossible!!!"
"After that long of an attack, nothing should be able to withstand it!"
Sakyo's lips curved slightly in mockery: "I didn't tank it head-on~"
Fūka Natsunami: "?"
By now, Susanoo was fully prepared to fire.
Sakyo didn't hesitate. She aimed at Fūka Natsunami again and released decisively.
The enormous arrow of materialized blue chakra erupted with unimaginable speed and terrifying power.
Fūka Natsunami's face twisted grotesquely. Facing this unprecedented powerful attack, the chakra armor he had always believed in now looked so insignificant.
"Ice Style—Double Dragon Blizzard!!"
Unwilling to give up, Fūka Natsunami knew he couldn't dodge Susanoo's attack, so he decided to go all out in a desperate last stand.
A black blizzard formed in front of Fūka Natsunami. It had barely flown any distance when it met Susanoo's arrow.
There was almost no pause—the Double Dragon Blizzard shattered like a gentle breeze in front of Susanoo's arrow.
The moment the two clashed, the Double Dragon Blizzard was brutally split down the middle, turning into massive air currents rushing outward, but it didn't even alter the arrow's trajectory.
BOOM~
Susanoo's arrow struck Fūka Natsunami dead-on. It flew upward at a 45-degree angle, reaching ten thousand meters high before suddenly exploding. The blue spherical chakra blast expanded violently, devastating everything within range.
Half a minute later, the gale finally howled downward. Avalanches formed on higher mountain bodies. Everyone watched in horror at this scene that looked like a divine miracle.
Seeing the overwhelming effect, Sakyo couldn't help but smile: "Hmph! This is the power of the Uchiha—this is the power of the Sharingan!"
"Uh…"
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Sakyo's Mangekyō Sharingan, accompanied by waves of blurring in her vision…
A drop of blood-tear slid uncontrollably down her cheek. Sakyo hurriedly covered her bleeding eye and muttered in confusion: "Damn it… could Naruto have been right?"
"Does using the Sharingan too much really make you blind?"
Only now did Sakyo recall what Naruto had told her.
He said not to use the Mangekyō Sharingan too often because its consumption was enormous—overuse would cause blindness.
At the time, Sakyo had scoffed and thought Naruto was just exaggerating to scare her.
But now, after suffering the consequences, Sakyo realized Naruto hadn't lied.
Susanoo's size kept shrinking. Eventually, it could no longer maintain arms and legs—it shrank until it could only barely envelop Sakyo.
The Snow Ninjas reacted first. With Fūka Natsunami's life or death unknown, they exchanged glances and silently began attacking Sakyo again.
"Ice Style—Thousand Ice Needles!"
"Ice Style—Ice Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Ice Style—…"
Dense attacks rained toward Sakyo once more.
This time, Sakyo's Sharingan hadn't recovered yet, and she couldn't use Kamui.
Facing this level of ninjutsu, Sakyo had no choice but to tank it head-on.
Bang bang bang~
Explosive tags and ice ninjutsu slammed into Sakyo's Susanoo one after another.
Under this tidal-wave-like assault, Susanoo was battered miserably—from left to right, then right to left.
Dense cracks appeared across Susanoo. Sakyo's heart pounded in terror.
Once Susanoo failed, she would face that terrifying barrage.
At that point, she wouldn't survive!
"Damn it… if they couldn't fly… if I still had chakra…"
Even now, Sakyo refused to admit defeat.
She believed that with enough chakra, she could easily deal with the enemies.
Or if the enemies couldn't fly, she could win easily.
Unfortunately, she had neither condition!
From afar, Naruto's figure was rapidly approaching.
Sakyo glanced at this and felt a slight relief in her heart.
Though she hadn't defeated the enemy, making her earlier boastful words embarrassing.
But Sakyo knew—Naruto would definitely come to save her…
Thinking of this, Sakyo felt inexplicably happy.
In this world, the feeling of being able to trust someone completely with your back… was very… blissful.
Over here, Naruto rushed toward Sakyo while asking the system: "System, what's Little Sakyo's rating now?"
"Ding~ Current Uchiha Sakyo rating: 1485"
"Holy crap, it's rising so slowly."
"But whatever—Little Sakyo can't hold on much longer. The system mission can wait."
Naruto's speed surged again, kicking up snowflakes in his wake like a high-speed train.
The distance closed rapidly. Naruto clenched his right fist, gathering massive Fire Style chakra. His hand glowed faintly red, and scorching heat swept around him.
"Fire Fist!"
Naruto suddenly punched toward the sky, shouting the move name he had just thought of.
BOOM!!!
They say water counters fire—but only when the fire hasn't reached a certain intensity.
Under Naruto's terrifying chakra strength and volume, a sky-piercing fist-shaped Fire Style broke through everything, melting all the ice ninjutsu in its path…
Sakyo looked at Naruto in joyful surprise: "You're here!"
Naruto didn't hesitate. He ran straight toward Sakyo's Susanoo.
Sakyo knew what Naruto intended and didn't put up any defense.
He smoothly entered Susanoo's interior and saw Sakyo's blood-red eyes, along with the bloodstains on her hands and cheeks.
"Sigh~ This really hurts my heart!"
Naruto didn't waste words on anything else. He moved beside Sakyo and extended one hand.
Sakyo instantly understood. She reached out and tightly gripped Naruto's hand.
Terrifying chakra poured into Sakyo's body, instantly converted by her into pupil power. Susanoo was reborn—and…
Even more terrifying than at its peak!
