187 Crushing Mist Shinobi

The paralysis effect of Thunder Blade made Simu feel a slight discomfort in his animal state.

But that was all.

As Fuguki Suikazan unleashed his full power, Simu calmly raised his palm. 

Armament Haki coated it, giving it the appearance of solid steel. The sharp wires wrapped around his arm snapped apart at this close range, leaving only faint scratches.

Arcs of electricity flickered across Simu's body but had no effect on him.

"You dare to make such a big deal out of this?"

Fuguki Suikazan swung his blade down with force. Though annoyed by Simu's indifference, a part of him was secretly happy that Samehada's destructive power was great, capable of absorbing an opponent's chakra in large amounts. Even Konoha's Golden Flash wouldn't be able to withstand it…

The sword struck heavily.

Excited, Samehada's spikes tore through the bandages covering it and crashed onto Simu's raised arm. Sparks erupted violently.

But the moment it made contact, Samehada realized something was wrong. Instead of tearing through flesh, it had slammed into something as solid as steel.

Its sharp spikes had no effect on the man before it.

A flicker of astonishment crossed Fuguki Suikazan's face.

Despite his fat body, he looked like a child before seven-meter-tall Simu.

Simu glanced at the white mark forming on his arm.

Samehada's power was indeed terrifying.

If it had struck ordinary steel, it would have been torn apart in an instant. Even with the reinforcement of Armament Haki, he had still taken damage.

His golden pupils slowly lifted.

"Is that all?"

"Not good!"

Kishimaru reacted instantly, a sewing needle in hand.

Countless thin threads shot up from the ground, wrapping tightly around Simu.

But in that moment, a breathtaking scarlet light erupted from Simu's eyes.

Veins bulged across his body, his presence turning wild and feral like a raging beast.

The countless threads constricting him trembled violently, letting out piercing wails under the strain of his overwhelming strength.

The moment the threads reached their limit, they snapped with a loud bang!

Simu's body had been pulled so violently that scratches appeared on his scales.

But this level of damage was nothing he would recover in mere seconds.

However, Kishimaru's interference had given Fuguki Suikazan just enough time to react.

Facing Simu, who looked more like a monster than a man, the fearsome ninja known for his brutal, relentless nature made an unexpected choice.

He retreated.

Slamming both feet into the ground, he pushed himself backward in an instant.

But Simu had no intention of letting him escape.

A raging surge of Conqueror's Haki exploded outward, converging onto the mace in his hand.

"Hakoku!"

A dark red pillar of lightning roared from the ferocious weapon.

Fuguki Suikazan instinctively raised Samehada to shield himself.

"Samehada, absorb this ninjutsu, quickly!"

Samehada's ability to devour chakra had nullified countless ninjutsu before.

Even though it was dissatisfied with its current owner, it had no choice but to comply.

But the moment it touched the attack 

It realized.

This wasn't ninjutsu.

There was no chakra to absorb.

The violent lightning engulfed both Fuguki Suikazan and Samehada in an instant.

They were sent hurtling backward, crashing through dozens of trees before finally coming to a stop.

At the end of the deep ravine left behind by the attack, the fat figure of Fuguki Suikazan lay motionless.

Bruises covered his body, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

If not for Samehada continuously feeding him chakra, he might have died on the spot.

The sheer power of that attack sent shockwaves through the battlefield.

The other Seven Ninja Swordsmen were stunned, while the surrounding Mist Shinobi were completely shaken.

They knew that someone capable of becoming Hokage wouldn't be weak but they never expected something this terrifying.

Only Biwa Juzo, the leader, reacted quickly.

"Everyone, attack together!"

Forming hand seals, he unleashed a thick mist that instantly spread through the forest, shrouding Simu's vision.

At the same time, dozens of Mist ninjas launched their assault.

"Water Style: Water Cutting Blade!"

"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"

A barrage of Water Style jutsu rained down on Simu in a relentless onslaught.

For the Mist Shinobi, overwhelming the enemy with a coordinated flood of attacks was their specialty.

And with the thick fog concealing them, they believed this strategy would give them the upper hand.

Mist Shinobi ninjas could detect enemies through Water Style jutsu, allowing them to lock onto their targets.

And if the enemy lacked perception abilities, they would often be overwhelmed and drowned in the relentless assault.

Unfortunately for them…

While Simu had never learned perception jutsu, his Observation Haki far surpassed anything they could rely on.

For several minutes, the Mist Shinobi bombarded him with attacks.

Then, suddenly

A golden light emerged from the center of the mist.

A shimmering golden sphere.

Every attack they had unleashed was completely blocked by it.

Biwa Juzo didn't hesitate. He immediately formed a seal.

"Water Style: Water Prison Technique!"

A swirling torrent of water wrapped around the golden sphere, trapping it within.

"Seal him now!" Biwa Juzo ordered, his voice solemn.

He never believed a Kage-level opponent would fall so easily to their attacks.

But as long as they could seal him…

Before he could finish his sentence, the golden light flared violently from within the water prison.

Simu's body reappeared, and the golden light surrounding him instantly transformed into countless piercing lightsabers, slicing through the water prison in an instant.

The shattered water sphere exploded outward like a flood, crashing into the surrounding forest.

In mere moments, the lush jungle was reduced to a murky swamp.

But it wasn't over.

Thousands of golden lights emerged around Simu, radiating in every direction with no blind spots.

A distinct pattern appeared on his face—Sage Mode.

"Immortal Art: Lightsaber Domain."

A faint sphere of light rapidly expanded around him.

Inside, thousands of lightsabers moved chaotically, without pattern or restraint.

Everything within the sphere—trees, rocks, even the ground itself—was instantly reduced to dust.

The glowing sphere continued to grow, devouring everything like an unstoppable force of destruction.

"Get out of its range!" Biwa Juzo roared.

But the light expanded too fast.

Many ninjas were caught before they could react.

And those who fell within its grasp faced only one fate—

To be reduced to dust, sliced apart by countless lightsabers.

Even blood was sliced into mist and vanished.

Samehada, lying on the ground, took one look at the horrifying scene—

And abandoned its master without hesitation.

Under the wide-eyed terror of everyone present, the sphere of light continued expanding, consuming everything in its path for a full thirty to forty meters before finally coming to a halt.

When the light faded, what remained was a massive, perfectly smooth crater.

And at its center, Simu stood untouched.

"Damn… I was still a step too late."

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, had finally arrived.

In the distance, the deafening roars of tailed beasts echoed through the land.

Yet the fear this man Simu instilled in them far surpassed even that of a tailed beast.

Yagura wasted no time with words.

The casualties would be severe, but if they didn't stop Simu here and now—

The Land of Water, and Kirigakure itself, would never know peace.

"Water Style: Water Explosion Technique!"

A high-speed, spiraling mass of water shot straight toward Simu.

With the Mizukage making his move, the other Mist Shinobi, though fearful, dared not hesitate.

As the spiraling water sphere surged toward him, Simu swung his mace with full force.

The collision sent violent ripples through the air. The spinning mass of water resisted, but against Simu's overwhelming strength, it was useless.

The jagged fangs of his weapon tore straight through, shattering the attack in an instant.

But there was no time to pause—

A wave of Mist Shinobi charged forward.

"Attack! Kill him at all costs!"

The first to reach him was Jinin Akebino, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

In his hands was the fearsome Blunt Sword: Kabutowari, a weapon that combined the sheer power of a giant axe and a heavy hammer.

For someone wielding such a huge weapon, his speed was astonishing.

Simu turned, meeting the descending axe head-on with a single swing of his mace.

A thunderous impact shook the ground.

The force of the blow surged through Simu's body—

But it wasn't nearly enough to harm him.

Jinin Akebino's face twisted with fury, eyes blazing with fighting intent.

Facing his opponent or rather, his prey Akebino Jinin unleashed his full strength.

"Die, you damn Konoha bastard!"

With one hand gripping the axe tightly, he swung his other arm in a full arc, bringing the heavy hammer crashing down onto the back of the axe blade.

The impact sent a violent shockwave rippling through the air.

For the first time, Simu's expression shifted slightly.

The combined force of the two strikes exploded upon contact, amplifying the power several times over.

On the battlefield, no one had ever survived a direct hit from the Blunt Sword: Kabutowari

Until now.

The ground beneath Simu fractured, splitting apart beneath the sheer force of the blow.

And yet

Simu grinned.

His sharp teeth gleamed in the dim light as he looked at Akebino Jinin With a savage smile.

"Not bad."

"But that's all."

An even more terrifying power surged from Simu's body, radiating outward like a storm.

Akebino Jinin couldn't resist this overwhelming force.

He felt as if he had been swatted away like a mere baseball, sent flying with no control.

More Mist Shinobi rushed in, surrounding Simu from all sides.

But Simu only grinned.

With a sudden movement, he lifted his massive weapon and spun at high speed.

"Three Realms : Raimei Hakke!"

A devastating strike crashed down on the attacking Mist Shinobi.

Their swords shattered like brittle glass, completely useless against his power.

And their bodies?

They were sent hurtling through the air like ragdolls, crashing into the ground with bone-crushing force.
