Chapter 116: The Complete Susanoo Conquers Kirigakure.
The thick fog enveloped Kirigakure as if it were a physical entity, reducing visibility to less than five meters.
The air was damp and filled with the smell of the sea, and the outline of the village was faintly visible in the mist.
Aota, the Hidden Mist ninja on night watch, leaned against the wooden pillar of the watchtower, his eyelids drooping.
The continuous guard duty had exhausted his energy.
"Hey, Aota, wake up," his companion whispered, his voice also tinged with exhaustion.
Qingtian barely opened his eyes and yawned: "In this kind of weather, even birds can't fly in, what could possibly happen..."
His voice abruptly stopped, and a blurry white figure flashed past in the thick fog.
"What's wrong with you?" His companion straightened up alertly.
Qingtian rubbed his eyes: "Maybe I'm seeing things..."
Before he could finish speaking, a precise chop to the neck struck him. In his last moments before losing consciousness, he saw those white eyes gleaming with a bluish light.
Hyuga Hizashi withdrew his hand and made a gesture to his companions behind him.
The twelve elite members of the Hyuga clan moved through the thick fog like ghosts, silently taking down one sentry post after another.
Their white eyes could pierce through the thick fog and pinpoint the location of each guard.
"The perimeter has been cleared," Hyuga Hizashi reported in a low voice.
In the forest surrounding Kirigakure, two thousand Konoha ninja lay in wait.
Uchiha Mitsunori stood at the very front, his long black hair swaying slightly in the night breeze.
He had his eyes closed, as if he were sensing something.
"Advisor Mitsumine, the Hyuga squad reports that the outer perimeter defenses have been resolved." Nara Shikaku walked to his side, his voice extremely low.
Uchiha Mitsunori opened his eyes: "Let's begin."
The synchronized movements of the two thousand ninjas stirred up a gentle breeze.
They surged toward Kirigakure like a tide, without making a sound.
When the first Konoha ninja stepped into the village, some Kirigakure ninja finally noticed something was wrong.
"Enemy attack! It's Konoha ninja!" A Chunin from Kirigakure had barely uttered his shout when a dark figure covered his mouth and he collapsed to the ground.
But the alarm had already been sounded, and piercing sirens rang throughout Kirigakure.
Uchiha Mitsumine said softly, "It seems we need to speed things up. Mangekyou Sharingan - Awaken."
"Complete Susanoo"
Using his own chakra, he still found it somewhat difficult to activate the Complete Susanoo.
So he borrowed some of the Nine-Tails' chakra from the black magatama below his neck to empower the Complete Body Susanoo.
Soon, orange chakra shot into the sky, and to everyone's astonishment, the chakra quickly condensed into a shape.
The fully formed Susanoo, over two hundred meters tall, appeared before everyone like a moving mountain.
"What...what kind of monster is this?"
A member of the Hidden Mist Anbu looked up at the towering orange giant, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and the kunai in his hand clattered to the ground.
The complete Susanoo is covered in heavy armor, with a hideous demon mask on its face, revealing only a pair of eyes that emit a red glow.
He spread his enormous wings and flapped them continuously, and the blood mist of Kirigakure was blown away by a gust of wind.
Uchiha Mitsunori stood within the diamond-shaped crystal on the forehead of Susanoo, his Mangekyou Sharingan slightly rotating: "Doppelganger: Eye of God - Activate!"
In an instant, the entire defensive layout of Kirigakure was laid bare before his eyes... Thirty-seven explosive tag traps... Thirty-two water-style barrier nodes... and the poison gas device hidden in the drainage system—all were laid bare.
"Wait a moment, let me clear away the traps around here first." Uchiha Mitsunori's voice echoed throughout the battlefield through Susanoo.
Then, Susanoo raised the giant shield in its left hand... The shield was over 180 meters high, like a moving city wall... With a deafening roar, the giant shield slammed into the ground.
Boom!
The three watchtowers, along with the explosive tag traps buried below, were instantly reduced to ashes.
Boom... Rumble... Boom boom...
Susanoo struck repeatedly, each strike causing an earthquake-like tremor.
All the traps and fortifications within a 500-meter radius were razed to the ground.
Inside the Misty Command Center, Elder Yuan Shi, who was left behind, stared at the scene with his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"A Susanoo over two hundred meters tall? How could the Uchiha clan possess such a monster? It's three times taller than Fugaku Uchiha's Susanoo back then!"
"Elder, what should we do?" a Jonin asked anxiously, his voice filled with despair.
The master's hands trembled as he watched the Konoha ninjas launch a full-scale attack.
Their most prized defensive system was as flimsy as paper in front of that orange giant.
"Surrender and you will not be killed!"
"Surrender and you will not be killed!"
"Surrender and you will not be killed!"
The shouts of the Konoha ninjas came from all directions, like the pronouncement of death.
The command center was in complete chaos:
"All traps are disabled!"
"The entire barrier class was wiped out!"
"The garrison at the south gate has raised a white flag!"
The advisor, Elder Yuan, slumped limply in his chair like a deflated balloon.
His face was as pale as paper, and his once straight back had become hunched, making him look even older.
The people in the room remained silent, their faces filled with terror and despair, a mixture of confusion and fear about the future.
The advisor elder, Yuan Shi, had a dry throat and managed to utter a strained voice: "Give the order...lay down your weapons...we surrender."
This was a difficult decision, but Master Yuan knew that Kirigakure had no other choice.
Because Kirigakure had surrendered to Konoha during the Third Shinobi World War, the surrender of Kirigakure ninjas this time seems all the more natural.
White flags were raised in every corner of the village, their pure white color particularly dazzling in the sunlight, as if mocking their defeat.
The surviving Kirigakure ninjas all laid down their weapons.
They silently knelt down in surrender, not daring to look at the people around them, their hearts filled with humiliation and resentment.
The intelligence interrogation work also proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
The ninjas of Kirigakure seem to have lost the will to resist.
Soon, the ninjas of Konoha had grasped all of Kirigakure's military deployments.
It turns out that the Hidden Mist Village had divided their forces into three parts:
A portion remained in Kirigakure, responsible for protecting the village's safety;
The other part consisted of young and strong ninjas sent to the border, whose mission was to defend against foreign invasion.
Finally, and most elite, are those who follow the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and are stationed in the capital of the Land of Water; they are the core strength of Kirigakure.
