Yamakawa Castle Council Hall
"Bite!"
The two swords clashed, and in an instant, the Crow Kuroha Greatsword was cut in two. Then, the terrifying sword energy shredded his body into dust and rushed straight towards Mizuki.
Mizuki wasn't surprised. Several arms emerged from his sleeves, grabbing the people transforming on the ground and jumping away together. "So you do this move too!"
Even so, the remaining sword energy severed half of Mizuki's body.
Kyōai, seething with anger, thought, "Hmph, you've successfully provoked me."
"Boom!"
The council hall shattered with a deafening roar, but the might of the Hakoku did not cease. Sword energy raged through the Yamakawa Castle, destroying all the houses that blocked its path.
The barrier around the council hall that was used to block perception disappeared as a result, and what came into view next was a densely packed group of orcs. It turned out that the orcs had been hiding in Yamakawa Castle from the beginning. Judging from their clothes, they should have been residents of Yamakawa Castle before. A rough estimate puts their number at tens of thousands.
At this moment, only Kyōai Ai remained in the city. Kankuro summoned Zaku Type One and flew out of the city.
Faced with this scene, Kyōai suddenly realized. "So, Yamakawa Castle is your base of operations!"
Mizuki's body was half destroyed, yet not a drop of blood flowed; it was regenerating at a visible speed. "That's right, once I infect everyone in the Land of Rivers, I will possess an army of beastmen. At that time, not only Konoha, but the entire Shinobi World will submit to me!"
Mizuki's purpose in summoning the leaders of various forces was actually quite simple. Although he currently had tens of thousands of beastmen, their combat strength was insufficient. The Beast Seal Transformation was determined by the original power of the bearer. Now, he had obtained the bodies of the ten strongest people in the Land of Rivers. Once he transformed into a red-haired beastman, his own strength would undergo a qualitative transformation.
Kyōai had already lifted the restrictions, and the Katen Kyōkotsu had split into eight arms, all eight of which were now engaged in battle. " Mizuki, you're too naive. You've only witnessed a small part of the power of the Nuclear Ninja Village. I admit, I couldn't see through your plan this time, but this has actually benefited me."
Mizuki tossed the red-haired orc undergoing transformation aside, somewhat surprised to see that Kyōai remained calm. "Those orcs from Purple Gold Mountain are nothing but defective products. Do you really think you few can stop me? Attack!"
After giving the order, the surrounding beastmen swarmed forward, blocking all of Kyōai's escape routes.
Kyōai leaped high into the air, and two white orbs of light suddenly emerged from her chest. "Your mistake was inviting the Nuclear Ninja Village. Now that there's no one left here, let's have a big fight."
Two orbs of light shot into the sky, bursting with blinding light in mid-air. " Nuclear Ninja Secret Sword - Tornado!"
Eight Katen Kyōkotsu unfolded outwards, with Kyōai's body at the center, creating a huge blue whirlwind around her, filled with numerous blade lights, which swept downwards.
"Boom!"
Countless beastmen who flew in with outstretched wings were sucked into the tornado and shredded into pieces. The tornado grew larger and larger, eventually engulfing the entire Daming Prefecture. For a moment, smoke and debris obscured everyone's vision.
The sounds of numerous limbs shattering and beastly roars mingled within the tornado, creating a very eerie atmosphere.
Mizuki, trapped within the tornado, was protected by four guards. The sword flashes did not harm him, but his shock grew increasingly evident. "Where did the Nuclear Ninja Village get so many powerful individuals?"
The tornado stopped, killing hundreds of orcs and clearing a space in Yamakawa Castle.
The black cloaks of the four guards were completely shredded by the flash of the blade, revealing their true forms.
These four individuals differed from ordinary beastmen, retaining largely human characteristics, with wild animal skin growing on their bodies, resembling tigers, leopards, wolves, and bats respectively.
The numerous wounds inflicted on his body by the blade healed in no time. He glared angrily at Kyōai in the air, while bats circled and charged upwards, closing the distance between Kyōai.
Kyōai, "Let me show you that before absolute power, any scheme is useless."
Just then, Yamakawa Castle, a warrior of earth and stone clad in black and red armor and a giant golden insect slowly rose up. They were the three who had come with Kyōai. After being informed by Kankuro, they all released their restraints and unleashed their most powerful abilities.
"Roar roar roar!"
Mizuki seemed to sense something was wrong. "It's them again! All-out attack!"
Command all orcs
The Ujin stood atop the earthen samurai's head, mimicking the gesture of raising his greatsword. Wind Release Chakra swirled around the sword, creating a whirlwind. "Move aside - Black Rope Heavenly Punishment Meow! Nuclear Ninja Secret Sword - Wind Scar!"
Sōretsu Retsu stood atop the earthen samurai sword, riding the wind as he unleashed the Wind Scar. His blade transformed into a blood-red weapon, Chakra Kaijin of corroding all things surged from his sword. " Kaijin! Nuclear Ninja Secret Sword - Great Thousand Worlds!"
Kendon stood atop the golden earthworm, from which purple poisonous gas continuously spewed, intending to engulf the entire Yamakawa Castle: " Golden Ashisogi Jizō! Nuclear Ninja Secret Sword - Heaven-Covering Divine Insect - Ruyi Divine Sword!"
Lord God: "Pfft! Holy crap, can't we stop this chaos?!"
Rumble
In the vast Yamakawa Castle, three sword energies swept across, blasting all the houses into the sky and turning them into ruins, which were then gnawed out of the beastmen's midst.
In an instant, the entire Yamakawa Castle was engulfed in violent tremors, houses began to collapse, and it looked like the end of the world.
However, the beastmen took cover on their own, which was completely different from their sluggish state on Purple Gold Mountain.
This time, the Beast Seal Transformation was different from the madness in the Purple Gold Mountain. It retained a certain degree of rationality, maximizing the Beast Seal Transformation to this extent, so that Mizuki could control the maximum number of beast imprints.
Having witnessed the terrifying attack of the three, Mizuki quickly commanded the orcs to stop their futile assault, "Hehe, I'm ready to deal with you!"
Having said that, he took out four sharp, blue-glowing minerals from his pocket and then plunged them deep into the backs of the four guards beside him.
"Roar!"
The four guards beside him let out low growls, their bodies began to tremble violently, their bodies began to swell, their Chakra surged, and large amounts of white steam spewed from their mouths and noses, their blood vessels bulging as if their blood were boiling.
Kyōai, suspended in mid-air, saw the blue ore and was shocked. "It's the Gelel Stone! Everyone, be careful!"
But that wasn't all. Mizuki then took out several more potions and had the guards take them. After taking them, their body hair began to turn red, and they even regained some of their senses.
In this state, Kyōai could sense the extremely violent Chakra within her guards, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart. "We must stop them! Fire Style: Sea of Fire Incinerate!"
Sheathing his sword, he simultaneously Hand Seals with all eight arms, and red flames gathered in front of him. Just then, the figure of the Guardian Tiger appeared before him, its fist covered in bone spurs already striking him.
"Oh no! Ikkotsu!"
In a panic, he threw a punch to meet the attack.
A loud explosion rang out in the air, and from a distance, all that could be seen was that Kyōai was blasted straight away and crashed to the ground.
