Chapter 461 Decapitation Operation
Faced with such a fierce attack, Fugaku dared not be careless in the slightest.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly activated the power of his pupils.
In an instant, the Susanoo's originally illusory skeleton grew flesh and blood and was covered with an incomparably sturdy armor.
At the same time, a huge and ferocious claw arm suddenly appeared on Susanoo's right hand, gleaming with a chilling light.
In the blink of an eye, when Han's foot collided with Fugaku's claws, a deafening roar was heard.
—"Boom!"
The entire ground trembled.
A powerful shockwave spread outwards, uprooting trees and sending soil and rocks flying.
On the other side, Lao Zi also displayed amazing strength.
In addition to the endless stream of tailed beast chakra gushing from his body, his body was also enveloped in blazing, high-temperature lava.
The lava flowed like flames, radiating intense heat, and anything that dared to approach was instantly melted into ashes.
Accompanied by a loud roar: "Roar!"
Lao Zi displayed his signature skill.
—Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!
He clasped his hands together and suddenly spat out a huge ball of magma, which shot towards the weasel like a cannonball.
Because of the Molten Lock Seal on his body, Roshi no longer fears the Uchiha clan's genjutsu as he used to.
Therefore, he kept his eyes fixed on the direction where Itachi was, ready to respond to any possible attack from the other side.
However, what he never expected was that there was an illusion that could last for a lifetime in a single glance, leaving him no time to unravel it.
The instant their eyes met, Itachi decisively activated his unique eye technique.
—Tsukuyomi!
In an instant, time seemed to freeze, and Lao Zi's consciousness was instantly pulled into an endless dark world.
Lao Zi felt as if everything suddenly went black, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.
Before he could react, a powerful and mysterious force pulled him tightly, directly into a bizarre and unpredictable Tsukuyomi world.
When Lao Zi opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find himself firmly bound to a huge pillar, unable to move at all.
His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he muttered to himself:
"What's going on? How could I have fallen for this illusion?!"
At this moment, Itachi, standing not far away, was staring at him with a cold expression, his eyes revealing a chilling aura.
Itachi slowly raised the gleaming sword in his hand and said without a trace of emotion:
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his arm, and the sharp tip of his sword pierced straight towards Lao Zi's body.
At the same moment, in the real world, Old Purple, who was originally imposing and surrounded by raging lava chakra, was...
Suddenly, as if he had lost all his strength, he went out of commission and collapsed straight to the ground.
The blazing lava chakra was extinguished completely, like a candle flame blown out by the wind.
Itachi, who was inside Susanoo, looked slightly tired, and there was even a faint bloodstain seeping from the corner of his eye.
However, even so, he did not hesitate at all, and in a flash, he pounced on the fallen Lao Zi like lightning.
Because he knew very well that if they could successfully capture the opponent, this Jinchūriki, then they would have already won half the battle.
Unfortunately, things rarely go as smoothly as one might imagine.
Just as Itachi approached Rōshi, the four Iwagakure ninja who had been guarding Rōshi all changed their expressions upon seeing Rōshi unconscious.
Without hesitation, they simultaneously stretched out their hands and slammed them heavily onto the ground.
In an instant, the earth began to tremble violently, and then the place where Lao Zi was located quickly sank and disappeared under the soil in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a huge stone slab slowly rose from the ground and blocked Itachi's way.
Seeing this, Itachi swung Susanoo's fist and smashed it hard against the stone slab.
With a dull thud, the stone slab shattered.
But at that moment, the Iwagakure ninja had already taken advantage of this time.
They dug Lao Zi out of the nearby land and quickly moved him to the rear.
Han remained highly vigilant against Fugaku's illusions.
Even though he had already applied the Melt Lock Seal, he still dared not look directly into Fugaku's eyes.
I was terrified that I might accidentally fall into the illusion the other party had carefully woven and become unable to extricate myself.
After all, Fugaku the Fierce-Eyed is a renowned illusionist who has been famous for many years.
But at this tense moment, Lao Zi was suddenly ambushed.
Caught completely off guard, he was knocked down by an illusion.
As Han's expression changed drastically, he reached out and pulled out a signal flare, shooting it into the sky without hesitation.
In an instant, a dazzling light shot into the sky, making it clearly visible to all the nearby Hidden Rock Village members.
Fugaku, of course, would not let this fleeting opportunity slip by.
With a flick of his wrist, a Yasaka Magatama radiating a powerful chakra surge shot straight toward Old Purple.
The magatama spun rapidly in the air, creating a sharp gust of wind.
Han, who had been closely monitoring the situation, saw that things were not going well and did not hesitate to unleash his ultimate move.
—Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!
In an instant, his body underwent an astonishing transformation, turning into a pure white behemoth perfectly fused with the features of a dolphin and a horse.
It was none other than the Five-Tailed King Mu!
With a deafening roar, King Mu charged violently into Fugaku's Susanoo.
There was a loud "boom".
Fugaku and his Susanoo were forced to stagger back several steps by King Mu's thunderous blow.
At the same time, a large number of Iwagakure ninja surged toward Fugaku and Itachi's location like a tidal wave.
They knew the situation was critical and they had to rescue the injured Roshi as soon as possible and stop the Konoha forces from pursuing them.
These Iwagakure ninjas moved with incredible speed; in the blink of an eye, towering, sturdy stone walls rose from the ground.
They attempted to completely cut off Fugaku and Itachi's pursuit route.
Despite Konoha's continuous use of ninjutsu to destroy these stone walls, Iwagakure's construction speed was simply too fast.
The advantages of Iwagakure's group-style combat became apparent at this time.
The earthen walls they created by simultaneously casting spells on the battlefield were thick and hard.
Even though Susanoo was very strong, he could only watch as Iwagakure dragged the heavily injured Roshi back to safety.
Due to the Iwagakure's tenacious resistance and timely and effective tactical arrangements, Konoha ultimately failed to capture the Jinchuriki, Roshi, in the first instance.
Faced with this situation, Fugaku and Itachi exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly, both realizing that continuing the entanglement would likely yield little result.
Therefore, the two made a quick decision to temporarily abandon the pursuit and break through the encirclement.
Fugaku, controlling the giant Susanoo, swung his massive claws horizontally.
Suddenly, a violent gust of wind arose, sweeping away all the obstructing stone walls around them.
Then, he led his assault team, taking advantage of a gap in the Iwagakure defenses, and bravely charged forward, tearing a path through the gaps and breaking out.
On the Iwagakure side, they were intimidated by Susanoo's power, and on the other hand, the old Shiki Jinchūriki was injured.
When they witnessed the two Susanoo clearing the way, everyone involuntarily made way for them.
Konoha, on the other hand, did not actually have a significant advantage.
It's important to know that the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is not limitless.
Neither Fugaku nor Itachi could maintain such a powerful eye technique as Susanoo for an extended period of time.
However, the Iwagakure faction was unaware of this.
As a result, both sides became wary and cautiously distanced themselves from each other before retreating.
At this moment, the situation is extremely urgent for Iwagakure.
They must either revive the unconscious Omurasaki as soon as possible, or find a way to recall Onoki to the battlefield.
Otherwise, without a commander, the battle will become increasingly difficult.
On the other hand, Konoha's meticulously planned decapitation operation ended in failure, forcing them to renegotiate new strategies and tactics.
