Chapter 44 - Ishikawa’s Sorrow

As the Complete Susano'o appeared, most of the Iwagakure ninjas were terrified and paralyzed on the spot.

After more than ten seconds, they turned around and fled, lacking the courage to face the Susano'o.

It wasn't a fight, it was seeking death!

Where there was one, there were two.

More and more Iwagakure ninjas fled, and the entire Iwagakure force gradually collapsed.

Ishikawa wanted to stop them, but he couldn't stop them at all!

This was the ninja world, a battle between ninjas. Without enough benefits and prestige, who would work for him?

Even if Ishikawa took cruel action, killing the fleeing Iwagakure ninjas, it was impossible to stop the collapse.

With his size and strength, how could he kill as fast as Madara's Susano'o?

A casual slash there could kill dozens of ninjas!

Which side was more terrifying?

If Ishikawa really killed the deserters, blocking the escape route of these fleeing Iwagakure ninjas, and making them desperate, they would turn around and attack him.

They couldn't defeat Madara, but they couldn't defeat him?

Ishikawa could only watch the Iwagakure ninjas flee, watching the entire Iwagakure force collapse.

"Tsuchikage-sama, it's not time to give up!"

Mu shook his head and flew behind Ishikawa, shouting loudly, clearly not admitting defeat.

"No, Mu."

Ishikawa looked at Mu, who looked determined, and then at the Susano'o, whose power was unmatched.

"Please, Tsuchikage-sama, please draw that person's attention to me. He must have sacrificed mobility by launching large-scale ninjutsu."

"As long as the Dust Release can attack, it's not impossible to defeat this monster!"

Hearing this, Ishikawa felt a little hopeful. Then he gritted his teeth and agreed:

"Okay, let me draw your attention!"

"Earth Release: Super Golem Technique."

Ishikawa formed a seal and activated his strongest ninjutsu.

A large amount of chakra flowed into the ground, causing countless large rocks to emerge, and soon condensed into a 'rock monster' over two hundred meters tall.

Once formed, a large amount of the user's chakra would be consumed every minute and second. The slightest carelessness would cause the user to dry up and die suddenly. But it was precisely by relying on this trick.

Only then could Ishikawa calm the chaos in the Land of Earth and successfully take the position of Tsuchikage.

In this chaotic era of Warring States, it was impossible to convince anyone without strength and only relying on words!

Soon, the rock monster that emerged from the ground attracted Madara's attention.

Although this giant monster was only as tall as the Susano'o's waist, it was already very powerful for a ninja.

Randomly falling large rocks could kill a ninja. However, Ishikawa was able to control the movement of a giant composed of hundreds of thousands of rock fragments, which showed his strength.

"Tsk, it seems Ishikawa is still determined to give up!"

"Very good."

"The one who bears the name Tsuchikage, let me send you off for the last time!"

Without hesitation, Madara wielded his Susano'o sword and slashed at Ishikawa's rock monster.

*SWISH*

His blade cut through the air, creating a blazing line of fire, whose speed was dozens of times faster than the speed of sound.

The huge rock monster had no time to resist.

*PU-CHI*

With just one attack, the giant rock monster was split in two.

But this wasn't the end.

Ishikawa continued to increase his chakra output, and saw countless large rocks flying rapidly beside the split rock monster, merging with each other to make up for it and quickly restored to its original state.

Seeing this, Madara's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but admire.

"Earth Release ninjutsu that can be repaired quickly?"

"Not bad. Among the Earth Release, there is no one better than you. It's not a shame to the name Tsuchikage. However, how long can you sustain such a large and rough chakra consumption?"

"Don't think that just by making a big muddle, you can compete with my Susano'o!"

It was also a rock giant, not comparable to the Susano'o. Whether it was defense, strength, or flexibility, it was far inferior. Moreover, the rock giant's consumption was several times higher than the Susano'o.

In a short time, Ishikawa's skin turned pale, showing the terrifying consumption of this forbidden technique.

At a glance, Madara knew that Ishikawa wouldn't last long.

*SWOOSH*

*PU-CHI*

With another slash, the newly restored giant monster collapsed again.

Madara was as casual as cutting up a toy, and wanted to see how long this Ishikawa could hold on?

But the purpose of Ishikawa's desperate effort was to attract Madara's attention and create an opportunity for Mu.

On the other side, Mu had sneaked behind the Susano'o, hundreds of meters away, aiming at the spot on the Susano'o's forehead, and charging up the Dust Release again.

But he was only halfway through gathering his strength, he suddenly found that Madara had already turned around to look at him.

He exposed himself!

The next moment, the towering Susano'o suddenly grew two huge hands.

One of his right hands clenched into a fist and waved it casually.

*BOOM*

The air along the way was compressed and blasted with tremendous force, and a strong wind roared, traveling hundreds of meters, and directly bombarded everywhere.

The area of tens of meters around it sank and cracked in place, as if hit by a meteorite.

Mu's Dust Release was immediately interrupted, and his body was embedded in the rock by the tremendous force. His bones were shattered, his muscles were broken, and blood spurted out.

"This is Uchiha Madara."

Mu muttered in despair, feeling that he had lost unfairly.

Indeed, the other party was always on guard against him!

It was an honor to be guarded by Uchiha Madara during the battle.

Mu's guess was right, Madara was always wary of him.

Now he knew Mu had mastered a powerful secret technique that could threaten him, how could Madara not pay attention to him?

If he was careless on the battlefield, it was impossible for him to survive until now.

Madara looked coldly at Mu on the ground:

"When your opponent thinks he's won, you take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack? And you let Ishikawa take action to draw my attention."

"You are truly as despicable as that Tobirama! It's a pity, true strength won't be defeated by such tricks."

This was both a compliment to Mu and an insult to him.

But it couldn't be denied that such a despicable ninja was indeed more suitable for the battlefield and more capable of winning on the battlefield!

Just like Tobirama defeated Izuna.

If the Iwagakure Village had always existed, this person would most likely be the Second Tsuchikage. Unfortunately, there was no such opportunity!

Madara controlled the Susano'o, and the fourth grip once again condensed the Susano'o sword.

*SWOOSH*

Another slash, the ground collapsed and split.

Mu died on the spot!

"Mu!"

Seeing his most proud student die in front of him, shock and hatred surged naturally.

"Uchiha Madara!"

Ishikawa gritted his teeth, controlled the rock monster, and pounced on the Susano'o desperately.

He launched a final desperate battle.

"No matter how hard you roar, it won't change the outcome of the battlefield. Strength is not will, but a phenomenon caused by matter!"

"First Tsuchikage, please retire now!"

Madara, who was already having fun, wouldn't delay any longer, let alone give Ishikawa a chance to come back.

The next moment, the four Susano'o swords slashed at the same time, directly slashing at Ishikawa.

Like four blue auroras splitting the sky, those dazzling eyes contained endless killing intent.

*BOOM*

The huge rock monster was completely shattered, and countless rocks rained down from the sky.

The First Tsuchikage, Ishikawa, was destroyed and died!
