Chapter 43 - Kirigakure's Defeat

Before dawn, the coastline glowed with a faint blue light, and a thousand Uchiha elites lined up along the shore. They wore matching black combat uniforms, with a red and white fan crest embroidered on their backs.

Shun stood at the front of the formation, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan glowing with an eerie red light in the morning sun, scanning the blurry outline of Kirigakure in the distance.

An abnormal mist began to spread ahead, it was the jutsu that Kirigakure ninjas excelled at.

Seeing the opponent make a move, he showed no panic, amplifying his voice with Chakra.

"Form hand signs!"

The sound clearly reached every clan member's ears, and a thousand Uchiha ninjas simultaneously raised their hands, their movements perfectly synchronized as if they were one person. Chakra surged in the air, forming visible ripples, and an unsettling aura churned.

"Divine Demon Transformation!"

The 1000 Uchiha clan members instantly entered their two-headed, four-armed combat form.

This was not all. Four thousand arms rapidly changed their finger positions, the second set of hand signs was completed, and two thousand Uchiha heads simultaneously lifted.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

A thousand fireballs, each over 8 meters in diameter, erupted from the mouths of the Uchiha clan members, their flames surging under the enhancement of Wind Release.

The wall of fire stretched from sky to earth, instantly expanding into a blazing barrier nearly twenty kilometers long. The sea surface was illuminated like molten lava, with fire waves tens of meters high and rising heat.

The mist cast by the Kirigakure ninjas instantly vanished without a trace, and the first three hundred Kirigakure ninjas who charged forward were engulfed in a hell of flames.

Screams of help sounded one after another.

"What…what kind of monster is this…"

A Kirigakure Jonin's legs trembled uncontrollably, his Water Wall was evaporated the moment it touched the flames.

The heat waves distorted the air, making the two-headed, four-armed figures of the Uchiha in the distance look like demons from hell.

In the center of this sea of fire, Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly spun.

Green Chakra shot up into the sky, instantly condensing into a seventy-meter-tall green Susanoo. It leaped out of the flames, then rapidly charged forward, its sixty-meter-long scythe slashing at the Fourth Mizukage.

"Quick! Protect Mizukage-sama!"

A dozen Kirigakure Anbu simultaneously formed hand signs.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

A dozen water dragons, each forty meters in diameter, surged up from the ground, only to be cut in half by the scythe.

Yagura's coral staff burst with dazzling blue light.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

A towering giant wave collided head-on with the Susanoo, causing the Susanoo to retreat several steps, and Fugaku's eyes bled.

As the giant wave receded, it impacted the Kirigakure anbu.

Yagura was horrified to find the Susanoo completely unharmed, while a group of Anbu around him had already fallen.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" Yagura's voice was distorted by fear.

On the coastline, Shun released his Divine Demon Transformation state, coldly watching the remnants of Kirigakure flee in disarray.

His Sharingan clearly captured Mei, the girl with reddish-brown hair, being carried away by two Kirigakure ninjas, her emerald green eyes filled with unwillingness.

"So Mei is here, little beauty, you can't escape my grasp."

He activated the Body Flicker Technique and quickly pursued her.

At this moment, Fugaku's voice, amplified by Chakra, spread across the battlefield.

"Pursue. Within three days, I want to see the Mizukage kneeling before me."

The Kirigakure ninjas hastily engaged in battle, but their resistance seemed powerless against the Konoha elites, who were all Chunin or above.

Soon, the Konoha ninja shouted in unison, "As long as you surrender and return the 50 billion ryo plundered from the Land of Fire, we will withdraw our troops. Otherwise, Kirigakure will be annihilated today."

The morale of the Kirigakure ninjas visibly plummeted, and soon many began to surrender, perhaps a lingering effect of the Bloody Mist policy.

The Konoha ninjas' offensive continued, showing no signs of weakening.

The Fourth Mizukage stood on Kirigakure's high tower, his face grim.

"Konoha's Fugaku is even more terrifying than rumored." He gritted his teeth.

Previously, he had clashed with Fugaku twice, and each time he was suppressed.

If not for the Kirigakure Anbu desperately saving him, he would have died on the battlefield long ago.

"Mizukage-sama, our casualties are increasing. If we keep fighting…" A Kirigakure Jonin whispered.

Yagura clenched his fists, his fingernails digging deep into his palms.

Kirigakure could no longer hold on.

...

Shun knew that Obito would control the Fourth Mizukage in the future to purge the Kekkei Genkai clans of Kirigakure , so he had been secretly planning some things.

He sent his trusted subordinates to contact several Kekkei Genkai clans in Kirigakure.

"Konoha is willing to accept you. As long as you are willing, you can become a member of Konoha, enjoying Konoha's protection and resources."

The leaders of these clans, upon hearing this news, did not immediately express their stance but fell into silence. However, the wavering in their eyes could no longer be concealed. Clearly, this proposal held considerable appeal for them. But they could not confirm if it was a trap, so they were still hesitating.

At this time, Shun noticed the Yuki clan, known for its beautiful women.

This clan possessed the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, and the women in the clan were exceptionally beautiful and had gentle personalities. However, the Yuki clan did not agree to his plan to move and live in Konoha.

Fortunately, he had captured Mei, which was a small comfort. Currently, Mei is 1.67 meters tall and only knows how to use Boil Release.

"Little beauty, how was your day?"

Shun's figure appeared outside the iron bars, playing with a string of crystal-clear ice crystal necklaces, which were handicrafts of the Yuki clan.

In the cell, Mei was curled up in a corner, her reddish-brown hair disheveled, her emerald eyes full of vigilance.

She unconsciously recoiled and cursed, "Get lost! You pervert, you scoundrel!"

Shun's Three-Tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated, and genjutsu was instantly activated.

Mei saw visions of her clan members being cruelly murdered one by one, her mother's chest pierced by a kunai, and her father's head rolling at her feet.

"Ah…you bastard, you demon!" Mei screamed, clutching her head.

When the Genjutsu dissipated, she was already pressed onto Shun's lap.

The crisp sound of slapping echoed in the cell, and the stinging pain made Mei bite her lower lip.

"You are just a tool for political marriage sent by your clan. Don't be ungrateful. If you anger me, I might erase your consciousness or wipe out your clan."

As the demonic voice echoed in the room, Mei trembled all over, tears blurring her vision.

"Come, Mei, say 'Master' for me."

"Mas…ter."

"I can't hear you, say it again."

"Master!"

This time, her voice was a little louder, but the light in her eyes dimmed a bit.

After several such lessons, Mei finally settled down, though a hint of fear was added to her gaze.

...

Three days later, Kirigakure started disintegrating from within, and its resistance completely collapsed.

Yagura stood before the Konoha main camp, his face ashen.

He gritted his teeth and said, "We surrender. But there isn't 50 billion ryo, this is 40 billion ryo in war reparations."

Fugaku took the scroll, his Mangekyo Sharingan rotating slightly. After confirming it was correct, he slowly nodded.

He said indifferently, "Very good, the war is over."
