The third stage of Susanoo.
It was already more than enough to deal with these insects from Kusagakure.
It also allowed him to take good care of Karin and her mother.
On the one hand, he wanted to show a little of his strength and take Karin away openly. He was being that brazen.
On the other, he wanted to make these people pay for their actions.
Feng Yao controlled the Kamui weapons in Susanoo's six hands, bringing down shuriken, long blades, great axes, and heavy hammers.
Beneath each weapon stood a group of stunned Kusagakure ninja.
Boom...
The earth shook at once!
Countless Kusagakure ninja were killed or wounded!
Karin and her mother watched the demonic god the boy had conjured instantly kill and wound countless Grass Ninja whom they had been powerless to resist.
"Monster! Monster!"
"Don't panic! Charge in and kill these damned outsiders!"
At once, countless Grass Ninja wielding ninja tools swarmed toward Feng Yao's golden Susanoo!
Feng Yao remained expressionless as he continued controlling Susanoo, slaughtering them.
Anyone struck by Susanoo's attacks, especially the weaker Grass Ninja, was brutally killed before they could even react.
"Follow me. Don't leave my Susanoo..."
Feng Yao spoke to Karin and her mother.
Then Feng Yao advanced toward Kusagakure's entrance.
Karin and her mother followed close behind him.
"Watch out!"
Xiang Nai spotted a Grass Ninja who had escaped Susanoo's attacks.
The Grass Ninja excitedly drove the kunai in his hand at the demonic god formed from chakra.
A gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
However.
The expected sight of the kunai piercing Susanoo never came. Instead, the instant the kunai collided with Susanoo, it snapped!
The kunai broke with a crisp snap.
"What?!"
Then a skeletal hand emerged from Susanoo and crushed that Grass Ninja, splattering blood everywhere!
The sheer brutality of this battle struck Karin and her mother as absurd.
The Grass Ninja who had seemed so powerful and overbearing to them were as easy for this boy to kill as crushing a bug.
Blazing fireballs and explosive gusts struck Susanoo without affecting any of its movements!
The Kusagakure ninja despaired!
What kind of turtle shell was this?!
Ninjutsu could not break through it at all!
Some Grass Ninja no longer dared to stand in his way.
The pressure Feng Yao put on them was too terrifying!
Clearly, this monster was heading toward the village entrance.
Anyone who blocked this monster's advance was slaughtered in one or two blows.
The herd effect was a frightening thing.
Against someone so terrifying, once one person stopped confronting him out of fear, countless others would follow.
He only had two blood bags with him anyway.
If he took them away, so be it. Were they supposed to throw away their precious lives too?
And so, a large crowd of Kusagakure ninja, terrified by the slaughter, could only watch as he swaggered out of the village.
Even after seeing that they had left Kusagakure, Xiang Nai still looked somewhat disbelieving.
"We really, really left that hell..."
"Thank you. Thank you, sir..."
Compared with her mother, Xiang Nai, Karin was visibly much happier.
She had lived in Kusagakure since childhood, but she felt no attachment to it.
It held nothing but bad memories.
She looked at Feng Yao's profile. His sharply defined, composed face made her feel incredibly safe.
For the first time, little Karin felt something different stir within her.
Without realizing it, she had become a little transfixed.
After leaving Kusagakure, Feng Yao briefly showed Karin and her mother his strength.
Then he activated Kamui and took them away.
"Hm?"
Feng Yao seemed to have spotted something interesting.
"I was just wondering how to find you, and you delivered yourself right to me. Don't mind if I do!"
Feng Yao seized the White Zetsu who was about to flee and refined him in an instant!
He arrived at Orochimaru's base once again.
Orochimaru had grown somewhat accustomed to Feng Yao coming and going as he pleased.
Feng Yao had not told Orochimaru about his Kamui, but after learning the secrets of the Mangekyo, someone as intelligent as Orochimaru could guess that this was Feng Yao's Mangekyo ability.
"Orochimaru, make arrangements for this mother and daughter."
Feng Yao spoke to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was surprised to see Karin and her mother, especially their vivid burgundy hair.
It reminded Orochimaru of the Fourth's wife, the former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki.
Seeing the bite marks on Karin's arm made him even more certain of his guess.
"The Uzumaki Clan?"
Orochimaru grew a little excited and could not help washing his face with his tongue again.
Rumor had it that the Uzumaki Clan possessed immense vitality and chakra...
For some reason, a chill ran down Karin's and her mother's backs...
Seeing Orochimaru's gaze, Feng Yao's expression darkened. He knew what the man was thinking and immediately warned him.
"Put that dangerous idea away. These are people I've taken an interest in too."
"Oh, so they're people you've taken an interest in, Feng Yao. What a shame."
Orochimaru felt somewhat disappointed. He had thought Feng Yao had brought him test subjects.
"Take good care of them for me. Once the Uchiha move to Amegakure, I'll come back for them."
"Xiang Nai's health is somewhat depleted. Be sure to pay extra attention."
"All right, no problem. Kabuto, take them to find a house in the village. I'll speak to the Akatsuki."
"Yes."
"Mrs. Xiang Nai, please come with me."
Kabuto approached and greeted her politely.
"Big brother, aren't you taking us with you?" Karin finally worked up her courage and looked at Feng Yao.
Feng Yao looked at little Karin, smiled gently, and stroked her red hair.
"I still have things to do. No one will bully you here either."
"If anyone does, tell this uncle. He'll handle it."
"Oh..."
In the end, Karin followed her mother away, led by Kabuto.
"Feng Yao, is there anything else?"
Feng Yao said nothing. He activated Kamui, and a struggling White Zetsu appeared on the floor.
Orochimaru's eyes widened.
"This..."
"Could this be the White Zetsu you mentioned? He really is quite unusual..."
Orochimaru grew excited again.
"That's right."
"And his cells have properties similar to Hashirama cells. Compared with Hashirama cells, his are gentler. Perhaps they'll be more helpful to your research."
"Thank you so much. This will be far more than another step forward..."
Orochimaru could no longer wait to study this White Zetsu thoroughly.
Excitement and fervor seemed written across his face.
It was wonderful.
He felt as though he could see the gates of truth drawing closer to him.
"I have only one requirement: develop perfected White Zetsu cells suitable for transplantation as soon as possible."
"Heh heh. I won't disappoint you, Feng Yao."
Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes fixed on White Zetsu.
Feng Yao nodded and looked at White Zetsu.
You could call them stupid, but you could not call them disloyal.
Obito had probably sent this White Zetsu to monitor Kusagakure.
Feng Yao had caught him red-handed, yet he refused to say a single word.
"Then I'll leave you to it. I'm heading out."
With that, Feng Yao activated Kamui and left Orochimaru's base.
Feng Yao did not go looking for Nagato. Pain possessed the Rinnegan, after all, and Feng Yao's current strength was at most on par with Pain's.
As someone who believed in the great way of lying low, he would not gamble with his clansmen's lives without overwhelming strength.
