However, just as the fire of hope in Mei Terumi's heart was ignited, it was extinguished by a colder and crueler "fact".
I saw Shino Aburame react quickly after being stunned for a short time and making eye contact with Sasuke.
Never let the other party have any illusions!
Shino pushed up his sunglasses and shouted loudly, with a "natural" casual tone, even a bit like "do you even need to ask?":
"I don't know." He first gave a vague answer, and then threw out a more impactful "fact":
"We just smashed Mizukage Building into pieces."
He paused slightly, as if recalling the scene at that time, and then added, his voice clear and cold:
"Maybe... died inside Ruins."
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of all Kirigakure Ninja who heard it.
If only Shino and Sasuke said this, they would never believe it.
But at this time, there is this giant who is like a god. This giant can silently confirm Shino's words just by standing there.
"It's just a dead man. If you need it, I can send you to see him."
Sasuke also reacted at this time.
No matter whether that Genji was really in Mizukage Building at that time, no matter whether he had been transferred or hidden in advance, at this moment, in the mouths of Shino and Sasuke, at the moment when the fighting spirit of Kirigakure's remnant army needs to be completely destroyed.
Genji, must be a dead person!
You must die in Ruins where "Mizukage Building is shattered"!
It used the crudest and most direct method to extinguish the last trace of thought in the hearts of Kirigakure's remnant army that "the top leaders are still there and there is still hope."
No matter Mei Terumi believes it or not, no matter what other Kirigakure Ninja guesses, "Mizukage Building has become Ruins", "the intruder personally claimed that Genji Faced with the news that " may be dead", any attempt to continue organizing resistance based on "Genji is still alive" has lost its legal and moral foundation and turned into a purely meaningless death struggle.
The foundation for their resistance was gone, and their families were captured.
Mei Terumi's face instantly turned pale.
She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make any sound.
Shino's understatement but cruel words completely shattered her newly rising sense of luck.
After a brief moment of deathly silence, the Kirigakure Ninjas around them let out a suppressed and desperate cry.
The last spiritual pillar seemed to have collapsed with the news that "Genji may have died from Ruins".
Shikamaru was standing aside, secretly applauding Shino's timely last hit.
Shino is really one of the few reliable products in the same period.
"We..."
Mei Terumi didn't expect to hear this kind of news, she gritted her teeth.
If there are reinforcements from Kirigakure, she might not be able to lead the current Jonin and Chunin to resist desperately.
Well... in the face of this... this god-like power in front of us, the so-called "desperate resistance" is just self-deception.
In the face of the absolute power gap, the role of numbers and will was compressed to the limit.
But, that's how people are.
When facing a desperate situation, even a straw or a self-deceptive hope Utakata can make people hold on for a while.
And now, even this Utakata has been exposed, and then we will enter... true endless despair.
'It seems that Genji has a really great influence on them!'
Shikamaru looked at the atmosphere of grief, anger and despair permeating the Kirigakure camp and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
This old man is undoubtedly Kirigakure's real anchor and spiritual leader after he lost Fourth Mizukage.
The psychological impact of his "death" may even exceed the occupation of Kirigakure itself.
After all, if everyone loses their land, everyone will lose it; if someone loses their land, everyone will survive.
Spiritual leaders play a very important role in war.
However, sighs are sighs, reality is reality. Shikamaru knows very well that now is the best time to exert final pressure and force it to make a decision.
He took a deep breath, poured Chakra into his voice, and issued an ultimatum to Mei Terumi, who was obviously distraught and in despair, as well as the remnants of Kirigakure behind her whose fighting spirit was on the verge of collapse:
"Mei Terumi, will you surrender or not?"
"Surrender!"
After responding to Shikamaru's words, Mei Terumi collapsed on the ground as if all his strength had been drained.
The moon, deep in the core.
The texture of the space becomes extremely strange here, as if you are in a mezzanine composed of pure Chakra and ancient will, independent of reality.
The huge Sealing Formula is like the vines and chains of living creatures, densely engraved on the surrounding invisible "barriers", emitting the eternal, heavy, but stable Chakra fluctuations.
The air was filled with a silence as if time had stopped, and a vast pressure that made people feel oppressive deep in their souls.
Naruto, Hinata Hyuga, and Hanabi Hyuga are standing on the edge of Sealing Space.
Their eyes were all focused on the center of Sealing Space.
There, a woman wearing a wide white robe and with floor-length silver Long Hair flowing like moonlight sat paralyzed like a sculpture that had lost all life.
Her figure is extremely tall. Even when she is sitting, she is much taller than ordinary humans standing, like a legendary Titan or god.
She lowered her head, and her face was mostly covered by her falling silver hair. All she could see was her pale, almost transparent skin and her delicate but bloodless jawline.
There was no Chakra activity fluctuation around her, as if she was just an empty shell.
The person in front of me is Kaguya Otsutsuki.
The mother of Sage of Six Paths Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki.
"Finally... found it."
Naruto Uzumaki whispered to himself, his voice appearing particularly clear in this silent space.
His fingers clenched subconsciously the moment he saw Kaguya, but the next moment, he slowly loosened his fingers and regained his surface calm.
Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga, who were standing next to him, were also completely shocked by the scene in front of them. This was the first time they had seen such a "huge" human being with their own eyes.
The pure white robe of Kaguya, the silver Long Hair, and the inhuman, ethereal and dead aura emanating from the whole body reminded them of the image in ancient legends.
"Just like... the legendary Snow Woman..."
Hanabi couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his tone full of surprise and a hint of instinctive fear.
Although Hinata didn't speak, the pure Byakugan was full of shock and caution. She unconsciously took half a step closer to Naruto.
