Last Resuscitation

"Cough!!" Hayato's expression suddenly changed within the Susanoo's protection. He spat out a mouthful of blood, then covered his mouth and coughed continuously. Scarlet blood slowly dripped from his palm onto the snowfield, his face twisted in pain.

Miao, who stood atop a nearby tree trunk and had been utterly stunned by the Susanoo's power, immediately went pale and cried out anxiously, "Father!!!!!"

"Don't come over!!! I'm fine!!" Hayato forced himself upright, but Miao's Sharingan could clearly see that Hayato's Chakra had already been completely depleted. His once-scarlet Sharingan had begun to turn white, while the Susanoo still remained active, though its aura had weakened considerably.

"This Ninjutsu actually consumes life force!!!" Miao instantly understood why Hayato could still use Susanoo despite having exhausted all his Chakra. Tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

Although Hayato's Sharingan had begun to turn white, the determination in his gaze remained utterly unshaken. The Anbu were startled by Hayato's condition as well, but they quickly recovered.

"Of course. Such a terrifying Ninjutsu can't possibly be used without limits. It must carry enormous risks!!! That guy is already at the end of his rope, so there's nothing to fear!!" Seeing Hayato's condition and sensing the Susanoo's gradually weakening aura, the Kirigakure Anbu Captain spoke with a Cold Smile.

"So that's how it is!! It seems that although we lost several team members today, we can still complete the mission!!" Another dark part said coldly.

Upon hearing the Kirigakure Anbu Captain's words, the Anbu finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this Ninjutsu could be used without limits, it would have been far too terrifying. Overwhelming attack power, unmatched attack speed, and incomparably formidable defense—it had practically no weaknesses at all.

If Hayato had continued using this Ninjutsu, it would have been difficult for them to leave this place alive today. "That skeleton's power has weakened considerably. It may not be able to block our attacks again without a scratch!!!" a Kirigakure Anbu beside them said.

"That's right!!! Everyone, be careful!!!" The Anbu Captain stared coldly at Hayato as he spoke to the others. They nodded at the same time, then rapidly formed hand seals and began casting Ninjutsu once more.

"Hm!!!" Hayato's gaze suddenly sharpened. Damn!! Are they trying to wear down my power through repeated long-range attacks!!?

"Water Style—Great Waterfall Technique!!!!" The Anbu Captain took the lead. A massive volume of water surged up from the snowfield, transforming into towering waves that crashed toward the Susanoo.

"Water Style—Great Water Ball Technique!!!" "Water Style—Water Wave Technique!!!!" "Water Style—Water Dragon Bullet Technique!!!!" All kinds of terrifying Water Style techniques swept forth, carrying immense force as they crazily bombarded Hayato.

The Kirigakure Anbu no longer cared about conserving Chakra. Each of them used their most powerful Ninjutsu, seeking to exhaust Hayato's strength as quickly as possible. Ideally, this strike would shatter the Susanoo outright!!!

Hayato's pale face had already turned ashen. The whites surrounding his increasingly pale Sharingan were filled with bloodshot veins.

"Ah!!!!!!!" Hayato threw back his head and roared. An incomparably powerful surge of Chakra erupted from within him, and the Susanoo's aura instantly soared.

Lines suddenly extended between the Susanoo's bones. Its chest bone, arm bones, and even its head were immediately entwined by those lines, before a thick layer of skin formed over the bones. The entire Susanoo instantly transformed, becoming the upper body of a true Giant. Its aura far surpassed that of the previous Susanoo. This was the Susanoo's second state—the growth stage.

"Roar!!!!!!!!" The Susanoo spread its arms and let out a furious roar toward the sky. A powerful shockwave swept in every direction, instantly reducing the surrounding houses to rubble and uprooting nearby trees.

"W-what is this!!!!?" The many Anbu went pale as they felt the Susanoo's soaring aura.

At that moment, numerous powerful Water Style Ninjutsu came whistling in. Boom!!!!!!! With a thunderous explosion, the Water Style techniques struck the Susanoo with terrifying force.

Yet the Susanoo's aura did not weaken in the slightest. With a roar, it flung its arms wide, and its immense strength tore apart the incoming Water Style techniques, turning them into water droplets that rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour.

The heavy rain drenched the elite Anbu, but they seemed completely unaware of it. They merely stared blankly at the unharmed Susanoo, as though they had forgotten they were still in battle.

Fortunately, that dark part Captain was the first to recover. He roared at the other Anbu Ninja, "Focus!!! No matter how powerful this Ninjutsu is, judging by his current condition, he can't sustain it for long. This is his final struggle, so don't be intimidated by how he looks now!!!" Worthy of being the Anbu Captain, he saw through Hayato's condition at a glance. Hayato truly was in his Last Resuscitation.
