Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

However, to everyone's surprise, the phoenix was not only surrounded by flames, but its entire body was formed of flames. The shurikens and kunai that flew towards it all passed through its body and were melted by the intense heat inside, turning into molten iron.

The phoenix was completely unharmed.

Compared to Hozuki Mangetsu's water transformation technique and Ringo Ameyuri's lightning transformation technique, Yokura has clearly gone much further on the path of turning her body into flames, almost to the point where there are no flaws.

"Wow!"

It spread its wings and charged into the ranks of the Allied Shinobi Forces, leaving trails of flames in its wake, setting the shinobi ablaze and eliciting painful screams.

At the same time, the phoenix opened its mouth and spewed out scorching fireballs. When these fireballs hit the enemies, they instantly evaporated all the moisture from their bodies, turning them into horribly mummy-like corpses.

"Use Water Release ninjutsu to deal with it!"

Someone shouted, and then a group of Konoha ninjas stepped forward, quickly formed hand seals, and simultaneously spat out a chaotic wave of water that converged into a rushing river, attempting to extinguish the flames on the phoenix's body.

But once again, the phoenix defied everyone's expectations, braving the waves and vaporizing the Konoha members' water-style ninjutsu. After breaking through, it headed straight for Jiraiya, Onoki, and A in the middle of the crowd.

To catch the thief, first catch the king. Yekura's target is clearly the Kage of the three great ninja villages—if they are eliminated in one fell swoop, the Allied Shinobi Forces will inevitably fall into chaos and collapse without a fight.

Although it is a near-impossible task, now the only way to turn the tide and save Kirigakure is to fight to the death.

"Oh no! Protect the Hokage (Tsuchikage) (Raikage)!"

In an instant, many ninjas from the three great ninja villages rushed to Pakura's aid after realizing her intentions. Even Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi were no exception.

Ok?

Onoki frowned. Facing the fiercely charging fire phoenix, he chose to proceed with caution without fully understanding its strength. With a whoosh, he took flight and soared into the air.

Raikage A's expression changed, and his body erupted with blue lightning as he instantly entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, greatly increasing his physical activity and defense.

Jiraiya looked solemn, but did not flinch, because he trusted the abilities of the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima, on his shoulders.

Swoosh.

They opened their mouths and spat out two high-pressure water jets, which flew forward at great speed and struck the fire phoenix directly.

Unlike ordinary water-style ninjutsu, the water-cutting technique used by the two sages was a Myōboku Sage Art that incorporated natural energy, and its power should not be underestimated. Sure enough, after the two water pillars hit the fire phoenix's body, they caused it to be violently impacted, letting out a shrill cry before being sent flying backward.

Splash!

It crashed into the crowd, its flames spreading out and triggering a series of fire explosions, reducing the number of ninja allies by several dozen.

"Get rid of it quickly!"

Seeing this, Jiraiya issued an order to Konoha's sealing team.

Whoosh whoosh.

Several Konoha Jonin appeared immediately and, led by Minato Namikaze, surrounded the Fire Phoenix. They then took out a huge sealing scroll from their backs, unfolded it, and performed hand seals.

Since this fire phoenix is ​​immune to all physical attacks and most ninjutsu, we'll use sealing techniques to deal with it. For Konoha, capturing a fire-style summoning beast whose strength rivals that of a tailed beast is a huge gain.

The black sealing spell spread from the ground and quickly covered the entire body of the fire phoenix, causing its flames to dim and extinguish.

Successful.

Seeing this, just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the phoenix suddenly raised its head again and let out a mournful cry of resentment towards the sky.

Two flames burst forth from its eyes, representing Ye Cang's mad will to burn itself out.

next second.

boom!

An unimaginable power erupted from the phoenix's body, forming a blazing circular wall of fire that rapidly spread outwards from its center.

Several Jonin from the sealing squad were the first to be engulfed by the wall of fire, some dead and others wounded. Minato Namikaze reacted quickly and managed to dodge, but even he couldn't penetrate the wall of fire to get close to the berserk Phoenix.

Faced with an ever-expanding firewall.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

Hundreds of ninjas from various villages stepped forward and simultaneously summoned water-style walls, barely managing to withstand the flames and avert the fire phoenix's desperate counterattack.

No, Yekura's last stand was far more than that.

"Wow!"

With a loud bird song, the fire phoenix flapped its wings and soared into the sky, quickly reaching a height of 100 meters in front of everyone's eyes.

Does it want to escape?

Upon seeing this, almost everyone assumed that the phoenix would flee. But then they discovered that it was hovering in the air, spreading its wings, and the flames surrounding its body were burning even more fiercely, with tongues of fire reaching seven or eight meters in length.

At this moment, Yekura activated the combined power of the monster cells and the Sage Art seal within her body, and recklessly burned her chakra without any reservation, until it was completely depleted.

As a result, the fire phoenix's body expanded at an astonishing speed, quickly growing ten times its original size, becoming a divine bird fifty meters long with a wingspan of over one hundred meters. The terrifying energy emanating from its body was unmatched, even by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

This fiery bird floated above Kirigakure, shocking everyone on both sides.

On the ground, tens of thousands of ninjas from the Allied Shinobi Forces stared dumbfounded at the fiery bird in mid-air, all feeling an immense fear that arose from the depths of their souls.

Chi Chi Chi.

The wings of the Flame Bird burned fiercely, radiating boundless light and heat, as if it were the embodiment of the sun, ready to incinerate everything in the world.

What terrified the Allied Shinobi Forces even more was that, the next second, the sun in the sky fell.

"Wow!"

The Flame Bird let out its third and final loud cry, then spread its enormous wings and swooped down towards the densest part of the 50,000-strong Allied Ninja Army on the ground.

"Scatter!"

Upon seeing this, the Kage were all shocked and hurriedly shouted at the ninja army, but it was too late.

Faced with the fiery phoenix descending from the sky, they were powerless to stop it and could only watch helplessly as its body transformed into countless fiery meteors, falling into the crowd on the ground.

Boom boom boom!

Numerous fireballs exploded, generating flames and shockwaves, eventually forming a scorching rain of fire that covered an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius, engulfing thousands of ninja allies.

As a result, a large area of ​​scorched earth appeared on the battlefield outside Kirigakure, with charred and smoking corpses scattered all over the ground, a gruesome sight resembling hell.

Yekura's life-burning attack directly wiped out one-tenth of the Allied Shinobi Forces—nearly five thousand people—who were burned alive by the Scorching Release: Fire Rain she created.

Those who narrowly escaped were all trembling with fear, grateful that they had been blessed by Lady Luck and escaped unscathed.

No one expected it.

Even after losing Kisame Hoshigaki, Kirigakure still had such a powerful ninja hidden away. As Kirigakure was on the verge of destruction, he sacrificed his life to inflict an incredibly heavy blow on the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Even until her death, no one knew her name.

After seeing the fire rain falling from the sky.

"team leader!"

Hidden in the crowd, Yu Yuli let out a shrill scream, then collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Mei Terumi, Mangetsu Hozuki, and the rest of Kirigakure were also plunged into deep sorrow by Pakura's passing...

237. Tsunade Returns

Yekura burned her life force, transforming into a phoenix fire rain that fell onto the battlefield, sacrificing herself to eliminate five thousand enemies and dealing a heavy blow to the Allied Shinobi Forces.

However, the enemy was too numerous. Even if 5,000 men died at once, it would only be a loss of one-tenth of the troops, leaving more than 40,000 men.

As for Kirigakure, there was no second or third Pakura; destruction seemed to be their inevitable fate.

Therefore, once the Allied Shinobi Forces recovered, they quickly launched an even more intense attack on Kirigakure.

"Kill them all! Leave no one alive, not even a single ninja or villager from Kirigakure, regardless of age!"

On the big screen, the daimyo of the four great nations shouted orders remotely to the Allied Shinobi Forces. After witnessing Pakura's power, they felt a deep fear—if this meteor shower had landed in the daimyo's mansion, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"The Hidden Mist Village is finished, what a pity."

Outside the battlefield, on a distant hillside, the Snake Princess, hiding in the woods, watched this scene and clicked her tongue in amazement. Then she said to her apprentice, Mitarashi Anko, "Let's go."

She had thought Tsunade would be Kirigakure's last hope, but Tsunade hadn't shown up yet, so she'd probably run away. Looks like that woman wasn't stupid after all; she hadn't been blinded by so-called love.

However, even if Tsunade were to appear, she would be powerless to reverse the current situation and would only needlessly sacrifice her own life.

On the battlefield.

Seeing that the ninjas from Kirigakure were still putting up a fierce fight, Onoki frowned and floated into the air.

"Get out of the way, I'll end this."

He shouted sternly, then formed a hand seal and opened his arms. A huge meteorite, tens of meters in diameter, appeared out of thin air and aimed at the Water Shadow Building below.

Yekura killed thousands of allied soldiers with Phoenix Fire Rain, and in retaliation, Onoki also prepared to use similar methods to get revenge.

Boom!

So, under his command, the huge meteorite roared down from the sky, casting a massive shadow over the Mizukage Building and the Kirigakure ninjas on the ground, leaving them with no way to escape.

At this moment, the faces of the Yuan Master and others from Wuyin were filled with despair. It wasn't that they lacked the courage to resist, but rather that they didn't know what else they could do in the face of such a catastrophic disaster.

It is foreseeable that after this meteorite falls, a large crater will be created where the Mizukage Building is located, and the remains of nearly a thousand Kirigakure ninja will be permanently buried on the ground.

"Damn it, that old man stole the spotlight."

The Third Raikage, A, who was slow to realize what was happening, was quite annoyed to see this, never expecting that the final blow against Kirigakure would be delivered by Onoki. In this way, Onoki and Iwagakure could steal a large share of the credit in front of the daimyo.

However, just a few seconds later, Raikage A stopped being jealous of Onoki. Because—

boom!

The massive meteorite was suddenly struck from below by an inexplicable force, causing it to crack in countless places. Then, to Onoki's horrified gaze, it exploded with a deafening roar.

With a deafening roar that shook the earth, the meteorite shattered into countless pieces, which rained down in all directions before finally crashing onto the battlefield.

"Ahhh!"

Screams echoed from the ground; the ninja alliance soldiers, unable to dodge in time, were struck by falling rocks, some dead, some wounded.

On the other hand, in the face of the meteorite fragments falling from the sky, a row of thick wooden pillars suddenly rose from the ground, forming a hemispherical curved arch that enveloped the entire Mizukage building and the Mizukage ninja below.

So that they would be unharmed.

what happened?
