Chapter 401 - 401 Dealing With Anrokuzan And Mukade
Standing within the diamond crystal on the forehead of the Susanoo, Menma looked down arrogantly at Anrokuzan and Mukade, who had transformed into giant puppet.
"This... what is this?!" Anrokuzan's roar, mixed with the sound of metal grinding, came from the centipede monster's head, filled with disbelief and shock!
His puppet eyes stared fixedly at the sky-reaching black giant, feeling the terrifying pressure it emitted. An unprecedented fear surged in his heart.
But soon, fear was replaced by madness!
"You bastard! You did have a trump card!" Anrokuzan screamed hysterically. "But this is Roran! My territory! The power of the Ryumyaku is infinite! You can't win!"
As soon as the words fell, he violently swung his giant tail that was dozens of meters long, covered in heavy metal plates!
The sharp barbs densely lined on both sides of the tail swept through the air, creating an ear-piercing whistling sound. Like a huge metal whip, it lashed fiercely at the waist of the black Susanoo!
At the same time, the spider-form Mukade puppet also launched an attack!
Its eight long legs, made of sharp giant blades, pushed hard against the ground. The bloated torso actually leaped into the air, diving down from above. The eight blade legs swung down like eight giant sickles, chopping towards the Susanoo's head and back!
Facing this two-sided assault, Menma only snorted coldly.
The black Susanoo didn't even make a blocking motion, just letting the attacks land on its body.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
A series of dense, crisp metal collision sounds rang out!
The centipede tail lashed against the black armor on the Susanoo's waist, but didn't even leave a scratch!
Mukade' eight blade legs chopped at the Susanoo's helmet and back armor, the blades even bending slightly from the recoil force!
"How is that possible?!" Mukade's ferocious head let out an astonished sound. The eight blade legs pushed back, landing on the ground not far away, raising clouds of dust.
Anrokuzan was also stunned.
He had absolute confidence in his puppet's destructive power. Those barbs and blades were made of special alloys, enhanced by Ryumyaku Chakra, enough to easily cut through the hardest rock!
But against this black armor, they couldn't even leave a scratch?!
At that moment, Menma moved.
The black Susanoo slowly raised its right arm. The Chakra Greatsword burning with black flames in its hand swung horizontally with an extremely fast speed!
The blade cutting through the air made a dull, terrifying whooshing sound!
Where the greatsword passed, the surrounding air seemed to be cut, forming a visible twisted trajectory!
The first to bear the brunt were several tall towers near the edge of the park.
These hundreds-of-meters-tall buildings made of metal and stone were like paper before the Chakra Greatsword!
The blade cut through the tower bodies without hindrance—
Rumble rumble!!
A series of huge collapsing sounds echoed!
Three towers were cut in half at the waist. The upper halves slowly slid along the smooth cut, then collapsed with a roar, hitting the ground and stirring up clouds of dust!
Rubble and metal fragments scattered like a storm!
"Watch out!" Minato immediately shouted loudly, his hands quickly forming seals.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
A strong airflow erupted from his mouth, blowing away the rubble and fragments flying towards Sara and the Roran civilians.
Choza and Shibi also acted immediately. The two protected the civilians on the left and right, using kunai and insect walls to block the occasional flying fragments.
Naruto shielded Sara, but his eyes were fixed on the battle on the battlefield, filled with shock and excitement.
"So... so cool!"
At the center of the battlefield, the Chakra Greatsword's blade, after cutting through three towers, its momentum undiminished, continued sweeping horizontally towards Anrokuzan's centipede monster!
Anrokuzan's pupils flashed with intense purple light. He let out a mad roar, controlling the centipede monster's two thick arms on its upper body. The five giant rotating blades at the front of the arms spun rapidly, emitting a piercing hum!
"Block it!"
The centipede monster crossed its arms in front of it, the five rotating blades forming an airtight defensive barrier, attempting to withstand this slash!
Clang—!
An ear-splitting metal collision sound echoed!
The Chakra Greatsword fiercely struck the barrier formed by the rotating blades!
Terrifying force transmitted along the blade. Anrokuzan felt a violent tremor in the puppet arms he controlled. The five rotating blades, upon contact with the black flames, instantly slowed down, and even fine cracks appeared on the blades!
Even more frightening was, the sword's blade wasn't completely blocked, but continued pushing forward!
Screech—!
A piercing metal tearing sound echoed!
A deep gash was cut into the heavy armor on the centipede monster's arms, revealing the complex mechanical structure and glowing purple Ryumyaku Chakra energy inside!
Purple Chakra energy gushed from the opening like blood, forming dazzling yet dangerous light ribbons in the air!
"Urgh ahhh—!" Anrokuzan let out a pained roar. Although his body was already puppetized, with greatly reduced pain sensation, this slash directly damaged the energy core, making him feel real 'pain'!
"Mukade! What are you doing?! Attack!" He roared madly.
The spider-form Mukade puppet immediately reacted. Its bloated torso leaped up again, the eight blade legs stabbing towards the Susanoo's back like a storm!
Ding ding ding ding ding—!!
Dense collision sounds like raindrops on plantain leaves rang out!
However, what made Mukade despair was that no matter how it attacked, those eight blade legs that could easily pierce steel couldn't even penetrate the weakest joint on the Susanoo's back armor!
The blades collided with the armor, making sharp clanging sounds, but the armor surface remained smooth as ever, not even a white mark left!
"How is this possible... what kind of defense is this..." Mukade's voice was filled with disbelief.
And at that moment, the Susanoo controlled by Menma exerted force again!
The right hand gripping the hilt suddenly clenched, the black flames on the greatsword suddenly swelled!
"Break—!"
With Menma's low shout, the power on the Chakra Greatsword increased again!
Crack—!
A crisp shattering sound echoed!
Three of the five rotating blades on Anrokuzan's arms actually shattered under the immense pressure!
Fragments shot in all directions like bullets!
The blade, now unimpeded, fiercely cut into the centipede monster's chest armor!
Screech—!!
The greatsword, like a hot knife through butter, easily cut through the heavy metal armor, continuing downward, splitting the centipede monster's dozens-of-meters-long centipede body in half from the chest position!
Purple Ryumyaku energy gushed madly from the cut like a fountain, forming an eerie purple light pillar in the air!
"Urgh ahh—!" Anrokuzan let out a miserable scream.
The centipede monster's upper body slowly separated from the lower body. The cut surface flickered with electric sparks and energy-leaking purple light. The two sections of the body fell towards either side.
Boom! Boom!
Two heavy, loud thuds. The two huge puppet body sections heavily hit the ground, stirring up clouds of dust tens of meters high.
Seeing this, the spider-form Mukade puppet was horrified. Its eight blade legs pushed hard against the ground, trying to flee backward.
But how could Menma give it a chance?
The black Susanoo's left hand released the hilt, fingers spread, then suddenly clenched into a fist, punching towards the retreating Mukade puppet!
This punch was fast as lightning, carrying a violent airflow and dark red Chakra, landing solidly on the center of Mukade's bloated torso!
Thump—!!!
A loud sound like a heavy hammer striking a broken gong!
Mukade's torso was directly punched in, the surface metal armor shattering piece by piece, the internal mechanical structure scattered into pieces!
Its eight blade legs twitched weakly, the entire torso flying backward like a broken kite, crashing through two towers behind it, finally embedding into the base of a third tower, completely motionless.
"This is... w-we won?" Naruto's eyes widened. Looking at the two giant puppets that had lost mobility on the battlefield, an excited smile appeared on his face.
"So cool! One slash and one punch to solve them!"
Minato, Choza, and Shibi, however, didn't relax their vigilance. Their gazes were fixed on Anrokuzan's centipede body that had been cut in half.
Sure enough—
"Hah... haha... hahaha..."
A low, twisted, manic laugh came from the head of the centipede monster's upper section.
Under everyone's shocked gaze, a purple light pillar suddenly shot out from the highest, most magnificent tower in Roran!
The light pillar crossed hundreds of meters, precisely illuminating Anrokuzan's two broken body sections!
Hum hum hum—!
Thick Ryumyaku Chakra poured into the broken puppet structure like a tangible substance. The severed energy lines reconnected at a visible speed. Damaged armor rapidly repaired and regenerated!
Even the three shattered rotating blades reformed under the purple light!
In just a few seconds, Anrokuzan's centipede monster actually returned to its original state, standing up again!
And the Mukade puppet that had been punched into the tower base was also bathed in another purple light pillar. Its indented torso bulged out again, shattered armor restored, eight blade legs regained vitality!
"Hahahaha! Useless! No matter how fierce your attacks are, you can't kill me!"
Anrokuzan's arrogant laughter once again resounded across the battlefield, filled with complacency and madness.
"See?! This is the power of the Ryumyaku! Infinite Chakra! As long as the Ryumyaku exists, I can repair and regenerate infinitely! And you… your Chakra will eventually run out! When that time comes, it will be your death!!"
Naruto's expression changed: "How is it possible... recovered so quickly..."
Minato's face was grave, saying solemnly: "Anrokuzan's power source is Ryumyaku Chakra. As long as we cut off the Ryumyaku's Chakra transmission to him, we can..."
Before he could finish, Menma on the battlefield had already reacted.
The black Susanoo slowly raised its left hand, fingers spread, aiming at Anrokuzan and Mukade.
"Adamantine Sealing Chains."
Menma softly uttered three words.
Clatter clatter clatter—!!
Five dazzling golden Chakra Chains shot out from behind the Susanoo!
Each chain was as thick as a bucket, golden light flowing on the surface. Like five golden pythons, they drew elegant arcs in the air, instantly crossing a hundred meters, firmly binding the newly recovered Anrokuzan and Mukade puppet!
The chains wrapped around the puppets' joints, torsos, limbs, tightly fixing them in place!
"Th-this... what is this?!" Anrokuzan discovered in horror that he actually couldn't break free from these golden chains' restraint!
What made him even more fearful was that the golden energy flowing on the chain surfaces was actually suppressing the Ryumyaku's Chakra Flow within his body, greatly slowing the repair speed!
"Impossible... these chains... a Sealing Technique?!"
Menma didn't answer. He just controlled the Susanoo to raise the Chakra Greatsword again.
"Since you can recover," Menma's voice was cold as iron: "Then let's see if your recovery speed is faster, or my speed of chopping you into mincemeat is faster."
As the words fell, the greatsword swung out again!
This time, the blade wasn't sweeping horizontally, but chopping like mincing meat, with extremely high frequency and speed, madly slashing towards Anrokuzan and Mukade bound by the golden chains!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The sword light, like black lightning, wove into a death net in the air!
Each slash brought up large metal fragments and purple energy liquid!
Anrokuzan and Mukade were chopped into pieces, arms, legs, torsos severed into dozens, hundreds of pieces!
But whenever they tried to repair, the golden chains would erupt with more intense light, suppressing the repair process. And the black greatsword would fall again, chopping the just-coalesced parts into pieces again!
"Ahhhhhhh—!!!"
Anrokuzan let out a miserable scream that didn't sound human.
Although his body was already puppetized, with greatly reduced pain sensation, the black flames wrapped on Menma's Chakra Greatsword were Amaterasu, and the greatsword also contained [Yin-Yang Release power]. Every slash directly burned his soul!
That was genuine, bone-deep pain!
Even more frightening was, as the number of slashes increased, the repair speed became slower and slower. The chopped pieces became harder and harder to reform!
"St... stop! Stop!!" Anrokuzan screamed madly, his voice filled with despair.
But Menma turned a deaf ear. The greatsword continued falling like a storm.
Finally, after the one hundred and twenty-seventh slash fell, the Mukade puppet completely collapsed.
The parts chopped into pieces could no longer recombine. Purple Ryumyaku energy dissipated from the fragments, dispersing in the air. Only a pile of scrap metal remained scattered on the ground, completely motionless.
And Anrokuzan also concentrated all Ryumyaku energy into his main body, accelerating the repair speed, barely managing to reform a complete centipede form.
But he could no longer care about attacking. The dozens-of-meters-long centipede tail wrapped around the Chakra Greatsword's blade like a python, trying to prevent further chopping.
At the same time, the upper body lunged forward violently. That ferocious mouth opened to the limit. Deep inside the mouth, dazzling purple light lit up!
"Die—!"
A thick purple Chakra Beam erupted from Anrokuzan's mouth, shooting towards the Susanoo's face like a dragon's breath!
This strike concentrated all his remaining Ryumyaku energy. The power was so strong it even caused slight distortions in the surrounding space!
Facing this desperate strike, Menma made a move that took everyone by surprise.
The black Susanoo's right hand released the hilt, letting the greatsword be wrapped by the centipede tail. Then both hands reached forward, fingers spread, actually directly grabbing the upper and lower jaws of Anrokuzan's wide-open mouth!
"Wh-what?!" Anrokuzan's pupils flashed violently with purple light.
The next moment, Menma controlled the Susanoo's arms to exert force, tearing them apart to both sides.
Screech—!!
A teeth-grating metal tearing sound echoed!
Anrokuzan's metal mouth, made of special alloy, capable of withstanding S-Rank Ninjutsu bombardment, was actually torn open by the Susanoo's bare hands!
The Ryumyaku cannon concentrated inside the mouth lost its restraint. Energy went berserk, turning into dozens of purple beams of varying thickness, shooting towards all directions!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
These beams were like scythes of death. Wherever they passed, whether towers, buildings, or ground, were easily cut through!
Towers were cut in half by the beams, collapsing with a roar, the ground was plowed into ditches meters deep, the entire central area of Roran city was riddled with holes within a few seconds!
"Fall back now!" Minato immediately shouted loudly.
Choza and Shibi fully covered the civilians' evacuation. Choza even used the Partial Multi-Size Technique again, enlarging his arm to shield the civilians from flying rubble and energy shockwaves.
Naruto, relying on agile movements, leaped among the ruins, helping the immobile civilians avoid danger.
At the center of the battlefield, Menma's Susanoo had completely suppressed Anrokuzan.
After tearing open the mouth, the Susanoo's huge right fist rose. The fist was wrapped with dark red Chakra Flames, then slammed heavily onto Anrokuzan's head!
Thump—!!!
A dull, loud sound like beating a drum!
Anrokuzan's ferocious head was punched in by this blow, surface armor shattering piece by piece, revealing the mechanical structure inside and a brain organ protected by a special container, immersed in purple liquid!
"So... like Sasori, only a brain left." Naruto, watching from afar, murmured upon seeing this.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Susanoo's fists fell like pile drivers, one after another, pounding on Anrokuzan's head and torso!
Each blow brought up large metal fragments and purple energy liquid!
Anrokuzan's puppet body was smashed into pieces. The centipede-like tail weakly released the Chakra Greatsword. The entire body was pinned to the ground and beaten like a rag doll.
"No... stop... Ryumyaku... my Ryumyaku..." Anrokuzan's voice grew weaker and weaker, finally only leaving intermittent electronic noise.
Finally, after the eighteenth punch landed, Anrokuzan's puppet body completely stopped struggling.
The brain organ immersed in purple liquid also, under the vibration of the final punch, burst open from the inside, turning into a pool of blurred pulp.
The purple light pillar shooting from Roran's highest tower abruptly extinguished at this moment.
Losing its energy source, Anrokuzan's broken puppet body rapidly dimmed. The metallic luster on the surface disappeared, turning into a pile of lifeless scrap metal.
The black Susanoo slowly straightened up. The blazing wings on its back slowly retracted. The dark red Chakra on its body gradually faded, finally turning into points of light particles dissipating in the air.
Menma descended from the diamond crystal on the Susanoo's forehead, landing lightly on the battlefield littered with debris, not a speck of dust on him.
He glanced at Anrokuzan's pile of remains, confirming the other was completely dead, then turned to look in the direction Minato and the others had retreated.
"Sol... solved?" Sara, protected by Minato and Naruto, looked at the battlefield from afar, her voice still trembling.
Minato nodded, his expression complex as he looked at the black-haired boy's back in the distance.
'The Uchiha Clan's Susanoo...'
"Let's go, we should find the Ryumyaku now." Menma's voice came. He had already walked near everyone.
Minato snapped back to attention and nodded: "Yes, although Anrokuzan is dead, the Ryumyaku problem isn't solved yet. Princess Sara, do you know where the Ryumyaku's core is?"
Sara nodded vigorously, wiping tears from the corner of her eyes: "I know! Mother once took me to the underground shrine. The Ryumyaku's source is there! Please follow me!"
