Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 123 Susanoo's First Strike!

Chapter 124 Susanoo's Strike!

"What is this thing?!" Kurosuki Raiga stared in horror at the lightning armor that had been burned through, but his lightning sword, Fang, was being suppressed by the bone claws of Susanoo and he could not pull it back. The huge impact also slammed his legs deep into the ground, and at this moment he was like a trapped beast.

"I was originally going to give you a chance to submit, but now it seems you don't deserve it." Uchiha Hikaru stood proudly.

Looking down at the pathetic and despicable Kurozuki Raiga from his high vantage point, his tone was filled with cold contempt.

For this operation, Menma's mission for her was to lead a team to investigate the Kurosuki family, who were entrenched in the Zuijōgaku Gold Mountain, as well as Kurosuki Raiga, one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

If possible, recruit them; if they resist, simply bring back the ninja sword.

Initially, Hikaru Uchiha held a sliver of hope for Raiga Kurosuki, since it would always be a good thing to add a powerful general to Menma's forces.

However, according to information obtained from Granny Sansho and from the villagers nearby by her subordinates, Raiga Kurosuki holds funerals for others every few days, and most of the villagers in the surrounding area have relatives who have been innocently killed and forced to be buried.

Even Uchiha Hikaru, who was used to fighting during the Warring States period, despised this kind of bullying of the weak.

"Now, it's my turn to hold a funeral for you." Uchiha Hikaru's Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, and countless dark red chakra surged out like a tide, covering the huge skeleton and gradually condensing into flesh and armor.

Raiga Kurosuki stared wide-eyed as his half-red skeleton gradually transformed into a towering giant clad in heavy armor, the terror in his eyes lingering for a long time.

In the Drunken Grass Golden Mountain shrouded in thick fog, a dark red giant, comparable to the highest peak, appears and disappears in the mist, like a god descending to earth!

Even in villages and towns several kilometers away, countless ordinary people saw this colossal creature, which could be described as having the body of a god.

Villagers from the surrounding villages even knelt down in the direction of the Jiangcao Jinshan (a type of medicinal herb), prostrating themselves on the ground in worship while murmuring prayers.

On the battlefield, Raiga Kurozuki felt the shadow of death looming over him, and his war instincts gave him a frantic warning!

It was comparable to the death threat brought by that Konoha genin named Might Guy opening the Eight Gates!

In the thick fog, the dark red Susanoo giant pulled out the chakra sword held on its wing. Wherever the blade passed, gusts of fierce wind rose up, blowing away most of the surrounding fog and shearing off half of a small hill.

Susanoo raised its chakra sword high and brought it down with tremendous force!

"Lightning Release: Lightning Burial!" In this life-or-death moment, Raiga Kurosuki unleashed his strongest move, concentrating all his Lightning Release chakra into his Lightning Blade, Kiba, drawing upon the power of lightning from the dark clouds in the sky to strike fiercely towards him, displaying an aura of mutual destruction!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless bolts of lightning poured down from the dark clouds, striking Kurosuki Raiga and Susanoo.

But this still couldn't stop Uchiha Hikaru's Susanoo from unleashing its chakra sword!

The Susanoo's chakra blade slashed down without stopping, the earth trembled with a roar, and the shockwave swept in all directions.

Boom! ...

The village at the foot of Jiangcao Jinshan was instantly reduced to ruins. Wherever the sword energy passed, a thousand-meter-long crack was torn in the forest, and a mountain peak was even split in two!

As the smoke cleared, a large crater was smashed around Kurozuki Raiga. He barely managed to block with his Raiga-Ya cross-shaped blade and shifted his body to the left. Even so, his right arm was still severed. The severed arm, along with Raiga-Ya, fell to the ground, splattering blood everywhere.

Although he did not die on the spot, he exhausted his chakra and lost his fighting ability.

Just moments ago, Raiga Kurozuki was incredibly arrogant; now, only his upper body, missing his right arm, was still functional. He was coughing up blood and looked utterly wretched.

All that remained in his eyes was a deep fear of that world-destroying power.

Uchiha Hikaru released his Susanoo and slowly walked up to Kurosuki Raiga.

She picked up a Thunder Blade, Fang, from the ground, its tip pointing directly at Black Hoshino Raiga's throat.

"Wait! Wait!" Ignoring the blood he coughed up, Kurosuki Raiga pleaded frantically, "I'm willing to submit!"

"My lord! Let me serve you!"

Unlike Kisame Hoshigaki, Raiga Kurosuki was willing to sacrifice his life for his ideals and beliefs.

After escaping from the clutches of a Konoha genin, Raiga Kurosuki gradually lost his way in the bloody life of the Hidden Mist Anbu, ultimately defecting.

They fill the emptiness in their hearts with killing and seek pleasure in funerals.

"A ninja like you who slaughters civilians doesn't deserve it." Uchiha Hikaru looked down on Kurosuki Raiga's so-called funeral, which involved killing ordinary civilians for burial.

Whenever he hunted down a ninja, Uchiha Hikaru would think highly of Kurosuki Raiga.

"No funeral! Since the master doesn't like it." Before Kurosuki Raiga could finish speaking, Raiga was lightly swung by Uchiha Hikaru.

With a flash of light, Kurozumi Raiga's head flew high into the air before rolling to the ground, its wide-eyed stare fixed on its headless body.

After dealing with Kurosuki Raiga, Uchiha Hikaru picked up the other Raiga, Kiba, and, holding the sword in both hands, headed towards another battlefield.

"My lord!" In the cemetery behind the village ruins, six Kurosuki clan ninjas were defeated by Natsumi and Hotaru, who led three Star Ninjas.

They are being tied up.

"That's... Raiga, the Thunder Blade!" Seeing a young girl approaching wielding Raiga's ninja sword, one of the Kurosuki clan ninjas panicked, shouting, "Where's Clan Chief Raiga?! What have you done to the clan chief?!"

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at the surrounding graveyard and plunged his ninja sword into the ground in front of six Kurosugi clan ninjas.

He looked down at Raiga Kurosuki with arrogance and said, "I have already killed Raiga Kurosuki. Now I will give you two choices: either move your Kurosuki clan to Hoshigakure with you, or you will all be buried with Raiga Kurosuki."

Afterwards, Uchiha Hikaru sent a Star Ninja to the site of the previous battle to bring back Raiga Kurosuki's head.

Before long, a bloody head appeared before the Kurosugi clan ninjas.

Looking at the severed head, the last vestiges of resistance in the Kurosuki clan's ninja completely crumbled.

Even the clan leader who led them to defect from Kirigakure was killed. Did they have any other choice?

And that towering red giant from before, the sense of oppression it brought to them was comparable to that of a rampaging tailed beast!

The Kurosuki clan ninjas did not hesitate for long and chose to submit.

noon.

Firefly, along with several other Star Ninjas, oversaw the relocation of the Kurosu family and released the miners and villagers oppressed by the Kurosu family on Mount Pikachu.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Hikaru, Natsumi, and two lightly injured Hoshi ninja arrived at the Life Curry House.

"Grandma, please prepare a few more servings of curry rice." Uchiha Hikaru's stomach rumbled loudly.

Grandma Sansho smiled kindly and brought out a curry rice that had been prepared in advance from the kitchen: "You've worked hard, eat up."
