Puff!
Zetsu emerged from the ground.
White Zetsu: "Oh no, Sasuke found the Three-Tails first! Let's go back and report..."
Black Zetsu: "Don't worry, since we're here, why not record Sasuke's fighting style? It could be useful if the organization ever conflicts with him."
Huh----
A mountain breeze swept across the lake.
The water rippled gently beneath Sasuke and the others' feet.
The three of them stood, wary of each other.
Swish, swish, swish----
Guren quickly formed a seal: "Crystal Release: Crystal Dragon!"
As her voice echoed, a pink crystal dragon soared into the sky.
Sasuke stood with his arms crossed, eyes half-closed.
Guren glanced at Sasuke: "Are you scared now? You boasted you would capture me!"
But Mei Terumi remained cautious.
Kabuto shouted, "Guren, hurry and kill Sasuke, or I'll kill... Yukimaru!"
Guren's expression changed: "Kabuto, how dare you threaten me?"
Kabuto didn't respond, instead piercing Yukimaru's neck with a kunai.
Blood trickled down.
Yukimaru's face turned pale.
Guren was furious, cursing Kabuto's despicable nature in her heart. She turned to Sasuke: "Leave quickly! Crystal Dragon, attack!"
Yin----
The crystal dragon charged forward.
Mei Terumi narrowed her eyes: "Sorry, handsome boy, don't blame me for ganging up on you. Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
In an instant, a water dragon roared and attacked.
For a moment, Sasuke was in danger of being caught in a pincer attack.
Suigetsu spread his hands: "I'm really impressed. Why is Sasuke so popular wherever he goes?"
White Zetsu: "This level of attack is ineffective against Sasuke, right?"
Black Zetsu: "Of course, Uchiha Sasuke is a genius who awakened the Mangekyō. This attack can't threaten him at all!"
Swish!
Mangekyō Sharingan, activated!
"Susanoo!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the purple giant descended upon the lake.
Boom!
The air exploded outward with Sasuke at the center.
The lake's surface was immediately covered with waves.
Guren was shocked. What a terrifying presence!
She looked at Susanoo. Was this the technique that embarrassed Lord Orochimaru?
Mei Terumi's face darkened slightly. Is it really this technique? This is troublesome...
At that moment, the crystal dragon and water dragon were less than five meters from Susanoo!
Sasuke said calmly, "Do it!"
In an instant, Susanoo's eyes flashed with purple lightning, and its massive hands moved like lightning, gripping the throats of the crystal and water dragons.
Roar!
Susanoo squeezed tightly.
The crystal dragon and water dragon were immediately dispersed.
Everyone was stunned.
Kabuto was horrified: "What, it's so powerful?"
Black Zetsu's eyes narrowed: "Sasuke's ocular power is stronger than before, and his control over Susanoo is more refined..."
Guren and Mei Terumi exchanged glances, realizing they couldn't defeat Sasuke without joining forces.
Guren: "Give me some time, I want to defeat him in one go!"
Mei Terumi chuckled: "Alright!"
With that, she began running around Susanoo: "Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!"
The acidic mist filled the air, gradually corroding Susanoo.
Sasuke was shocked. What a powerful acid mist. In a confined space, its power must be even greater!
Black Zetsu: "As expected of the most talented ninja in the Mist Village, Mei Terumi's strength is undeniable!"
Chojuro and Ao were inspired, cheering for Mei Terumi in their hearts.
Boom boom boom!
Mei Terumi unleashed water-style techniques, attacking frequently.
Susanoo managed to dissolve them one by one, but as time passed, its body was more severely corroded, with even the skeleton exposed in some places.
Sasuke frowned. He couldn't continue like this, or the outcome would be uncertain.
At that moment, Guren danced with both hands, completing a special hand seal: "Crystal Release: Crystal Wall Eight Formation!"
Crystal Wall Eight Formation, a powerful move capable of blocking the movement of tailed beasts!
As her voice fell, pink crystals quickly condensed, forming a giant pyramid in an instant!
Bang!
The pyramid closed, immediately immobilizing Susanoo.
Suigetsu exclaimed: "Sasuke!"
Kabuto laughed arrogantly.
White Zetsu was puzzled: "Did Sasuke lose?"
Black Zetsu: "No, although that crystal release technique is powerful, it's still not enough to render Sasuke helpless."
As expected.
Gulp!
The lake's surface shook as if boiling.
Guren's face changed: "What, what's happening?"
Crack!
Guren and Mei Terumi suddenly looked at the crystal wall.
Cracks appeared, multiplying rapidly.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Susanoo's eyes emitted dazzling red light.
Boom!
Terror descended, suffocating.
Guren couldn't help but step back. What an overwhelming pressure, like a ghost!
Mei Terumi took a deep breath. What immense power. It's hard to believe that the one wielding it is just a teenager!
It happened in a split second.
Boom!
Susanoo shattered the crystal wall and soared into the sky.
Sasuke controlled the complete form of Susanoo, floating in the air.
For a moment, the sky darkened.
Guren shrank back. No way, would Lord Orochimaru really intend to fight against such ghostly power?
Mei Terumi was shocked: "Flying? Damn it, how can we fight this?"
Black Zetsu was stunned: "What, it's the perfect form of Susanoo?"
White Zetsu: "What's going on?"
Black Zetsu: "I dare not say anything else, but at least Itachi hasn't unlocked the perfect form yet!"
White Zetsu: "So, Sasuke is more powerful than Itachi?"
Black Zetsu: "At least in terms of ocular power, Sasuke has far surpassed Itachi!"
Sasuke looked down coldly at those below: "In the face of the Mangekyō's power, all you can do is surrender, nothing else!"
Boom!
The ocular power poured out wantonly, pressing the lake's surface into an inverted funnel.
Guren and Mei Terumi struggled to resist, but against absolute power, they could only bend their knees little by little.
Ao and Chojuro clenched their fists, faces full of unwillingness.
They wanted to act but feared angering Sasuke and putting Mei Terumi in danger.
Black Zetsu praised: "How domineering, almost on par with Uchiha Madara!"
Mei Terumi bit her lip tightly. Though unwilling, she had to admit that defeating Sasuke with her current strength was impossible.
"I admit defeat. I voluntarily withdraw from the competition for the Three-Tails."
Sasuke: "Wise decision, you may go..."
As his voice fell, Mei Terumi felt her body lighten, as if the pressure was just a dream.
She looked at Sasuke deeply. What a terrifying boy!
Swish, swish, swish!
Mei Terumi and her companions quickly left the scene.
Guren was still struggling.
Kabuto panicked. If this continued, he would be dead!
Got it, let the Three-Tails go out of control, then take the opportunity to escape while Sasuke suppresses it...
Sasuke looked down at Guren, her willpower indeed strong!
Suddenly, Kabuto said grimly: "Guren, I want to tell you a secret. Yukimaru is actually the child of your savior!"
Guren was shocked: "Nonsense, you're lying!"
Kabuto was smug: "I don't need to lie. To be honest, Lord Orochimaru told me this..."
Guren was stunned. What, Lord Orochimaru knew all along?
Kabuto seemed to read Guren's thoughts: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru knew and arranged it this way to use you, the murderer of his mother, to stimulate Yukimaru to suppress the Three-Tails!"
Guren felt a chill. Only now did she realize Orochimaru's true nature. Everyone in his hands was just a pawn!
Kabuto sneered and lowered his head: "Yukimaru, Guren is your mother's murderer. If you have anything to say, tell her now!"
Haha, Guren didn't go berserk when Yukimaru was provoked. He read the three words "Yakushi Kabuto" backward!
Guren's breath was unstable, feeling deeply ashamed even looking at Yukimaru.
Sasuke watched coldly. Yakushi Kabuto was truly despicable!
At this moment, Yukimaru said softly: "Sister Guren, no matter what you've done, I just want to be with you!"
Guren's head shot up, disbelief on her face.
Kabuto was furious: "You brat, die!"
Chi!
The kunai pierced Yukimaru's heart...
