Chapter 221: Challenging a God Is Utter Folly!
"Ahhh!!!"
Screams of agony echoed ceaselessly within the Forest. Simultaneously, the notifications from the system rang incessantly in Mirai's mind.
The Forest's original attack was already terrifying, but now that the entire forest was engulfed in flames, its destructive power had soared to an entirely new level.
High temperatures, oxygen depletion, entangled roots…
The complex environment left the Kumogakure shinobi trapped inside with no chance of resistance.
"Damn it! Is this where I'm going to die? I can't accept this…"
"Lord A and Lord Killer B are up against a monster like this? This power… it's beyond terrifying."
"Uchiha Mirai, damn you! Won't someone save us?!"
Amid the Kumogakure shinobi's despair, a massive pillar of light suddenly pierced through the Forest, creating a gaping hole.
From within the inferno, a massive cat-like beast, cloaked in eerie blue flames, emerged, its body brimming with unbridled fury.
The furnace-like domain now breached, the surviving Kumogakure shinobi scrambled frantically towards their newfound escape route.
"Roar!!!"
The cat demon howled toward the sky, a pitch-black chakra sphere forming above its gaping maw. The sphere exuded a menacing aura, compressing into a point of devastating energy.
Boom!
The Two-Tails released its Tailed Beast Bomb, hurtling it directly toward Mirai. The sphere struck with an earth-shaking explosion, obliterating everything in its wake. The ground quaked under the force, and all surrounding structures disintegrated into dust.
"Gulp… It's the Two-Tails! Lady Yugito has joined the fight!"
"Uchiha Mirai was hit directly! There's no way he survived that, right?"
"No one could survive a direct hit from a Tailed Beast Bomb!"
As the smoke and debris began to clear, the Kumogakure shinobi stared intently, hope flickering in their eyes. But when the dust settled, their expressions froze in collective despair.
Mirai emerged unscathed. His clothes remained pristine, though the Susanoo enveloping him showed cracks along its surface.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
With a series of crisp sounds, the cracked shell of the Susano'o shattered and dissolved into nothingness.
Seeing this, the Kumogakure shinobi were struck with overwhelming hopelessness.
A direct hit from a Tailed Beast Bomb, and he's unharmed…
What kind of monster is this?!
Before the survivors could even process their despair, a blue streak and a red streak of lightning shot toward Mirai from opposite directions.
In the blink of an eye, A and Killer B were upon him.
"Lightning Release: Double Lariat!"
The two roared in unison, veins bulging on their muscular arms as they channeled their full power into their combined attack.
Boom!
Their synchronized strike connected with Mirai's neck, the force generating a shockwave that kicked up clouds of dust and debris.
"We got him! Mirai was hit!"
"Yes! This time he's finished for sure!"
"The Double Lariat is Lord A and Lord Killer B's ultimate technique. There's no way his head is still attached after that!"
"Ha-ha-ha! Kumogakure is saved! Uchiha has finally paid the price for his arrogance!"
The Kumogakure shinobi erupted in joy, convinced that Mirai had been defeated.
After all, Mirai had only survived the Tailed Beast Bomb thanks to his Susanoo. And this time, they had seen with their own eyes that A and Killer B's attack struck directly at his neck.
No matter how powerful, a human's body couldn't possibly withstand such an assault.
But as the dust cleared, their elation turned to stunned silence.
On the battlefield, A and Killer B stood frozen, faces flushed with effort. Their arms clamped tightly around Mirai's neck, yet no matter how much force they exerted, they couldn't budge him an inch.
"Shikotsumyaku…"
A's eyes widened as he saw the white bone protruding from Mirai's neck, gritting his teeth in frustration.
The moment Mirai's Susanoo had shattered, he and Killer B had acted with perfect synchronicity, launching their attack without hesitation.
When their arms connected with Mirai's neck, they had been certain it would be a killing blow.
But instead, their ultimate technique had been stopped—by his bare neck.
Was this man even human?
Did he truly have no weaknesses?
"You've shown courage by challenging me, and I commend you for that," Mirai said, his tone calm yet disdainful.
"But to challenge a god… is nothing short of folly."
Under the stunned gazes of the onlookers, Mirai casually pried A and Killer B's arms apart. With a swift motion, he kicked each of them away.
Thud! Thud!
Blood splattered as the sheer force of his kicks sent A and Killer B hurtling through the air.
Mirai dropped the severed limbs in his hands, his presence exuding the aura of a demon risen from hell.
The Kumogakure shinobi stood frozen in fear, their morale shattered.
A and Killer B—defeated in such an unimaginable fashion.
Struggling to his feet, A spat out a mouthful of blood, his body trembling. His eyes were filled with fear, regret, and disbelief as he looked at Mirai.
"U… Uchiha… Mi…"
Thud!
Before he could finish, A's massive body collapsed lifelessly to the ground.
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully acquiring the reward: Lightning Release Chakra Mode! ]
The system notification echoed in Mirai's mind, confirming A's death.
His earlier kick had shattered A's internal organs. If not for the defensive boost provided by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, A's body would have been completely destroyed.
The fact that A had managed to stand one last time was a testament to his extraordinary willpower and resilience.
"Big Bro!!!"
Killer B roared in anguish, losing himself to rage. For the first time in his life, anger completely overtook his reason.
In an instant, he transformed into the fully-realized form of the Eight-Tails.
Eight massive tails slammed into the ground, and without hesitation, the beast began charging another Tailed Beast Bomb in its maw.
"No!"
The remaining Kumogakure shinobi cried out in terror.
If Killer B unleashed the Tailed Beast Bomb from that position, they would all be caught in the blast!
