Killing Suikazan Fuguki

"Heh, only those who survive are qualified to judge everything!" Suikazan Fuguki waved his hand, ordering, and was the first to draw his sword and slash at Sen.

The remaining three Mist Ninjas also launched their attacks simultaneously.

Sen's Sharingan had long since closed due to chakra depletion. At this moment, he could only rely on instinct and experience, desperately dodging in the encirclement of the four.

"Clang!"

Another attempt to break through failed. Sen was pinned by the kunai of two Mist Ninjas.

"Out of stamina? Die!" another Mist Ninja sneered, thrusting his kunai towards Sen's heart.

Just then, a wave surged from behind the Mist Ninja. Sen, unable to focus on the wave and trying to dodge the opponent's attack, was suddenly forced to block as the opponent brought their weapon down, initiating a struggle.

As the two grappled, Suikazan Fuguki's figure suddenly appeared behind the wave.

As soon as Suikazan Fuguki's figure appeared on the water's surface, he immediately swung Samehada with all his might.

With the swing of Samehada, a powerful gust of wind instantly kicked up, even stirring the seawater below into a frenzy!

"Well done!" Suikazan Fuguki stood behind the Mist Ninja and praised.

Although he was complimenting his comrade, the trajectory and force of the attack from Samehada in his hand were aimed at killing both his teammate and Sen!

Sen's mind screamed a warning, and he instinctively tried to leap back.

But the sword came swiftly and fiercely, with immense force. There was nowhere to escape!

"Bang! Bang!"

As the Mist Ninja's body in front of him was cut in half, the violent force traveled through the blade and slammed squarely into Sen.

"Whoa!"

Sen was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His arms trembled slightly, and the tiger's mouth gripping his sword bled profusely from the previous block.

Worse still, most of the meager chakra remaining within him was stolen by Samehada.

Now, let alone fighting, he could barely stand on the water.

Seeing Sen's state, Suikazan Fuguki stopped his subordinates' attacks and stood on the water, waiting for Samehada to finish feeding.

Sen gasped for breath. This was the first time since his transmigration that he had been pushed to the brink of death.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"If I survive today, I'll raze your Kirigakure to the ground!"

Suikazan Fuguki grabbed Samehada, pouted, and chuckled, "Already dreaming with your eyes open at the crack of dawn?"

He picked up Samehada and slowly stepped forward, feeling its excitement. He continued, "To be able to kill a genius like you, even Samehada is getting excited?! Hahahahaha!"

With that, he raised his great sword high and swung it down fiercely at Sen's head!

However, this fatal blow missed.

"What's going on?!" The Mist Ninja beside him exclaimed in horror. Sen, who had been at the end of his rope, suddenly erupted with a massive amount of chakra, not only easily dodging the attack but also relighting his pair of scarlet Sharingan!

Sen stood on the seawater. As the Shadow Clones, which had accumulated chakra for nearly two hours, were released, his body had recovered half of its chakra!

This was precisely the Chakra Transfer Technique that Naruto had once used!

At this moment, he felt as if he had sailed over countless mountains.

He gathered green medical ninjutsu in his hand, healing the wounds on his tiger's mouth and abdomen, and said calmly:

"You should regret not pursuing my other Shadow Clone."

"How is that possible?!" Suikazan Fuguki couldn't believe it. "Shadow Clones only consume chakra, how can they transfer it back?!"

Sen's words sent a chill down their spines.

"How could you commoners understand the power of the Uzumaki Physique? To you, Shadow Clones are consumables. But to me, Shadow Clones are 'batteries' that can replenish energy at any time!"

Before his words even fell, Sen, ignoring their astonished expressions, drew his sword and lunged forward!

Suikazan Fuguki swung Samehada forcefully, pushing Sen back, and simultaneously ordered his remaining subordinates:

"Don't be afraid! We have numbers! As long as Samehada can land one blow and drain his chakra, we'll win!"

"That's right," Sen said with a wicked grin after replenishing his chakra. "But now that I've tricked you into running around and exhausting your chakra and stamina, how can you possibly be my opponent? I, on the other hand, am at my peak!"

He paused, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"Most importantly—someone is waiting for me to come home for breakfast!"

Suddenly.

The moment his words fell, the sea's surface erupted with monstrous waves!

Sen's figure was as swift as a phantom, his short sword flashing deadly white light under the morning sun!

"Clang!"

Samehada collided with the short sword again.

Suikazan Fuguki was about to speak when he suddenly saw a surge of blue chakra appear in Sen's hand.

"Is this... Lightning Release chakra!?"

"Sizzle sizzle!"

A blue current instantly traveled along the blade! Suikazan Fuguki, along with his sword, was paralyzed on the spot!

Seeing their captain injured, the three Mist Ninjas quickly attacked Sen with kunai, but such attacks were far too slow in the eyes of the Sharingan.

Sen leaped to dodge, his body spinning as if dancing.

The dance was merely flashy and elegant, with no offensive power, but—

The sword in his hand was not!

"Swish!"

Blood splattered! Suikazan Fuguki's right arm, along with the hand gripping Samehada, was severed at the shoulder!

Sen seized the opportunity to snatch Samehada, and after creating some distance, he tossed aside the severed hand still clutching Samehada.

Feeling Samehada struggle in his grip, Sen directly hit it with another Lightning Release attack.

Looking at the lightning-covered Samehada, and then at the few people preparing to flee, a sinister smile spread across Sen's lips!

Sen's footsteps suddenly quickened, catching up to them, and he swung his blade down.

The greatsword was blunt, but it was difficult to dodge as easily as a short sword.

The targeted Mist Ninja reflexively blocked with his kunai, but the moment it touched Samehada, he was paralyzed and unable to move, sent flying away. He floated on the sea, bleeding, his fate unknown.

Sen, seeing his attack succeed, commented:

"This technique is quite good, just a bit wasteful of Samehada."

He looked at the two fleeing figures and repeated his tactic.

A few breaths later, only the dismembered Suikazan Fuguki remained on the sea's surface.

Suikazan Fuguki had lost his initial arrogance and was now desperately fleeing across the sea. He glanced back at Sen's figure—

His alarm bells blared; the opponent had vanished!

"Here!"

The moment Suikazan Fuguki turned, he saw a grinning face and a Samehada moving so fast it left afterimages!

"Bang!"

He was sent skipping across the sea like a stone, tumbling dozens of meters. A gaping wound was clearly visible on his chest, his internal organs spilling out.

At this moment, Suikazan Fuguki was just a ninja without Chakra, at most a slightly stronger ordinary person.

"The you of the past killed many. The you of the future will kill even more. Dying by my hand today is not unjust." Sen walked up to him, weakening the current in his hand, and commanded Samehada:

"Eat him."

Hearing the command, Samehada began to struggle wildly.

"Hahaha..." Suikazan Fuguki sneered even as he was dying, "Samehada... recognizes its master..."

"If electricity can't kill it, fire surely can, right? I know a bit about Fire Release." Sen finished speaking and began forming hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball..."

Before he could finish, Samehada immediately stopped, becoming as docile as a cat. It even extended its hilt and gently tapped Sen's arm, helping him recover a bit of Chakra.
