Chapter 126: The Destroyed Kannabi Bridge

The chakra erupting from Uchiha Feiyu not only drew an exclamation and a snide remark from Kakashi, but also caught the attention of the Rock Ninja at the Kannabi Bridge encampment.

In reality, as long as one is a ninja, one possesses at least some ability to sense chakra; it is just that when chakra is in a suppressed state, ordinary ninjas simply cannot perceive it.

But when a ninja erupts with their own chakra, especially a ninja with chakra as explosive as Uchiha Feiyu's, even a ninja academy student who has just awakened their chakra can feel that chakra aura that feels like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking.

Almost in an instant, the entire Rock Ninja stronghold fell into chaos; ten Jonin rushed out of the stronghold without a word, looking toward Uchiha Feiyu's direction with faces full of vigilance.

Uchiha Feiyu crossed his arms and glanced at Kakashi:

"I'm going to go harvest the heads of those Rock Ninja; you just stay here and don't move."

As soon as the words fell, pure and massive Yin Release chakra condensed and took shape around Uchiha Feiyu's body.

"Susanoo itself can be called a ninjutsu amplifier; never mind White Fang Sword Technique, even using ninjutsu directly is no problem... Of course, an average Mangekyo Uchiha certainly couldn't reach my level."

Kakashi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, listening to the voice of the chakra giant in the sky, and muttered to himself:

The group of Rock Ninja Jonin didn't say a word, each drawing upon their chakra and instantly unleashing large-scale ninjutsu:

"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"

Kakashi shook his head and said indifferently:

"Although the Ninja World War has been fought until now and the Rock Ninja have lost quite a few troops, compared to Konoha, those losses are truly too small."

The massive Susanoo slowly dissipated, revealing Uchiha Feiyu's figure, and then, Uchiha Feiyu's gaze suddenly turned toward the distant forest.

When the time comes, as long as this White Zetsu returns to Madara Uchiha's lair, he can personally deliver some warmth to that empty-nester.

"The logistics route here has been cut off; I wonder if the Rock Ninja will retreat because of this?"

Crunch! The Rock Ninja, whose entire body had turned black from using the Earth Release: Hardening Technique, was gripped in the chakra giant's hand; with a fierce squeeze, he was crushed directly into pieces. The poor Rock Ninja didn't even have time to scream before being squeezed into a bloody mess.

The giant Susanoo merely swung its sword, stomped its foot, and clenched its fist in a basic manner, yet the Rock Ninja were completely unable to resist; by the time Kakashi walked down the hillside, all the Rock Ninja were already completely dead.

Uchiha Feiyu could guarantee that if the commander of the Rock Ninja front were not Namikaze Minato, Kakashi would definitely be lying flat even more thoroughly than he was.

Standing below, Kakashi could not see Uchiha Feiyu's eyes, so he assumed that the current Uchiha Feiyu had activated the Mangekyo; of course, to a certain extent, Kakashi's understanding was not wrong, as Uchiha Feiyu's eyes were essentially at the level of an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Of course, showing more than that would be too excessive; a twenty or thirty-meter Susanoo was just at the limit of a normal Mangekyo, and it wouldn't scare off certain guys observing from the shadows.

"Forget it, let this White Zetsu go notify Madara Uchiha; hopefully that ancestor of the Uchiha will take the bait!"

"Moreover, the White Fang Sword Technique used by Susanoo can only be considered a hollow shell that resembles the form; the essence of the White Fang Sword Technique is high-speed Ninja Body Technique, and Susanoo is not a human body, so things like using Lightning Release to stimulate the flesh to increase neural response and physical speed are simply impossible."

However, looking at Kakashi's actions and expressions, one could tell he was just putting on a show; with a monster like Uchiha Feiyu here, Kakashi didn't feel he had any opportunity to make a move.

Although Kakashi's muttering was quiet and he was very far from Uchiha Feiyu, who was standing above the Susanoo, Uchiha Feiyu, having evolved several times, had long since had his five senses sharpened to an extreme degree and naturally heard Kakashi's muttering clearly.

Boom! The massive Susanoo stepped down, and as the earth trembled, a dark red color faintly spread across the soil of Huangtu; the Rock Ninja hiding below had already been crushed into meat paste by the earth.

Uchiha Feiyu felt he hadn't performed too excessively, but in Kakashi's eyes, it was truly too perverted.

At most, he would reach out to help when the squad members he cared about encountered danger.

"Is it okay to say that? Kakashi, you are a ninja of Konoha after all."

Coupled with the Sage Body, which had been refined over a long period with Hashirama Cells and was now no different from Senju Hashirama—and even superior under the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art—the current Uchiha Feiyu, if he went all out, could even create a 200-meter Susanoo comparable to that of Madara Uchiha with the Rinnegan.

The entire earth looked as if it had been plowed; the Rock Ninja's stronghold had also turned into a ruin, and the Kannabi Bridge, which had originally retained a bit of its structure, now didn't even have a single bridge pillar left to be seen.

Any Great Ninja Village, once it annexed Konoha, would see its strength skyrocket instantly; if it developed for another dozen years or so, it might be able to clean up all the other ninja villages one by one. To prevent such a situation where one side dominated, the various ninja villages would never allow a single ninja village to annex Konoha.

"Tsk... you guy, aren't you afraid that Konoha will be completely defeated and flattened by other ninja villages!"

Uchiha Feiyu said this with his arms crossed, and Kakashi chuckled, not caring in the slightest:

"It doesn't matter... just like you in the past, as long as I don't intend to enter the Konoha High Command, with my current strength and talent, no one will blame me for making a few snide remarks."

"And when the two eyes are joined together, one can unleash the ninjutsu that the Mangekyo Sharingan must possess, which is the legendary Susanoo!"

Looking at the twenty or thirty-meter chakra giant before him, Kakashi finally couldn't help but shout out loud:

"Just how strong has your power become! After using such a powerful Susanoo, you can actually still use the White Fang Sword Technique!"

Even if Kakashi had become a bit of a slacker, he didn't have a hobby of bullying the weak; he figured that on the battlefield, he would probably just find a decent Jonin to tangle with and muddle through.

Kakashi spoke with a touch of indifference on his face, his voice filled with a calm that seemed like a clear-headed view of the world:

"The situation among the Five Great Nations and the Five Great Shinobi Villages is extremely complex; all the major ninja villages that possess Tailed Beasts theoretically have the possibility of destroying hostile ninja villages, so as long as the leaders of the ninja villages have some sanity, they won't push a hostile ninja village to the limit."

"There is also one more point... Konoha is indeed the ninja village most likely to attract hostility, but just as Konoha destroying other ninja villages would invite the hostility and opposition of the entire Ninja World, any ninja village that wants to destroy and annex Konoha would absolutely be attacked by all the other ninja villages in unison!"

Kakashi Hatake watched the bridge collapse, slowly pulling out his White Fang Short Blade while making a snide remark.

"Heh, Konoha might be defeated, might lose many benefits, and might even lose the title of the number one ninja village, but no matter what, the structure of the Five Great Shinobi Villages is unlikely to change!"

"Should I offer a little help to prove that I'm not just a pure hanger-on?"

The residual sword energy continued unabated, slamming into the Kannabi Bridge; the entire bridge let out a painful groan, creaking as it plummeted and shattered into thousands of fragments.

Uchiha Feiyu chuckled, and the long sword in Susanoo's hand faintly flashed with white light; with a straight downward slash, it kicked up a sharp and terrifying gale!

"If it weren't for Minato-sensei's Flying Thunder God Technique being too perverted, Konoha would have been finished by now."

Crack! The wall made of rock was sliced in two by the giant chakra sword descending from the sky; as the wall slowly slid down, it revealed the terrified Rock Ninja behind it, and as blood sprayed out, this Rock Ninja was also split in two.

"Actually, I don't want to hear you explain how powerful the Sharingan is; I'm just a bit curious, how did your Sharingan level progress so quickly?"

"Very good, my mission is complete... although it has absolutely nothing to do with my own efforts."

"White Zetsu, is it... sure enough, it's right nearby..."

Although Madara Uchiha was arrogant and conceited in personality, he was no fool; judging by the fact that he could crouch underground for decades, this guy undoubtedly also possessed a side that was patient and cautious.

The twenty or thirty-meter-tall chakra giant was precisely the Susanoo unleashed by Uchiha Feiyu, and it was also the most conspicuous and orthodox technique of the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan.

Endless flowing mud was spewed out by these ninjas, condensing into a mudslide like a giant wave that rushed directly toward Uchiha Feiyu.

When the time came, Madara Uchiha could guess with his toes that the other party was definitely playing a long game; as for cannon fodder like White Zetsu, he would probably just be left to fend for himself.

"Calm down, Kakashi, this is just a basic operation... after the Sharingan exceeds the limit of the Three-Tomoe, it will awaken the bloodline ninjutsu residing within the eyes."

Upon sensing the aura of the White Zetsu, Uchiha Feiyu was itching to directly place a Flying Thunder God mark on this White Zetsu.

"Earth Release: Earth Spear!"

After all, although Uchiha Feiyu was timid and afraid of trouble back then, because he possessed the Book of Demonic Inheritance, he still quite liked "bullying the weak," and even killed so many that several hostile ninja villages regarded him—who specialized in shamelessly targeting lower-level ninjas—as a thorn in their side.

First came the skeletal form, followed by the muscular form, and finally, amidst the flickering of faint lightning, a chakra Giant clad in Lightning Armor and wielding a long sword appeared on the small hillside.

Kakashi Hatake, standing on the small hillside, wore a look of shock as he watched the mudslide, which resembled a massive wave, get cleaved open by a single sword strike from the Susanoo; the terrifying sword Qi soared like a Dragon, and after tearing through the combined ninjutsu, it simultaneously sliced the entire Rock Ninja stronghold in two.

"Among them, the left and right eyes will each awaken a special ninjutsu. Because the awakened ninjutsu are varied and strange, and because the patterns of the Sharingan above the Three-Tomoe are ever-changing with no fixed rule, it is called the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"The opponent's military strength is almost double that of Konoha, and they are all ninjas in their prime. Looking at Konoha, not only is our military strength weak, but even one or two tenths of them are little ninjas under 14 years old!"

"Earth Release: Earth-in-Fish Projection Technique!"

A powerful sensory ability could detect a strange Soul in the distant forest; it was far more active than an animal, yet not as agile as a human, and even carried a hint of a plant-like Soul.

"How could they retreat so easily?"

In fact, just as Kakashi was slowly walking down from the hillside, Uchiha Feiyu had already manipulated the Susanoo, slashing left and right, killing more than half of the Rock Ninja Jonin.

"Honestly, it's just that I can't be as unburdened as you; otherwise, if the Ninja Village assigned me a task that was too dangerous, I would want to turn it down directly!"

While Uchiha Feiyu was still thinking, Kakashi had already walked over to his side, his face wearing an expression of amazement as he glanced at the ruins of the battlefield:

As long as a weak Ninja Village has a bit of long-term foresight, it would never allow Konoha to fall.

"You guy... when did you learn this kind of ninjutsu? Didn't you always practice the White Fang Blade Technique before? By the way... is this the power of the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan?!"

Looking at Kakashi, who was originally just a bit of a slacker in appearance later on but had now become a true slacker, Uchiha Feiyu didn't know what to say; his influence on this guy was indeed not small.

"Careful! The enemy is coming! Use the combined defensive ninjutsu!"

After briefly explaining a few words to Kakashi, Uchiha Feiyu then asked:

"Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!!"

Of course, he didn't care about Kakashi's slightly bitter muttering; with a wave of his hand, a long sword appeared in the hands of the entire Susanoo, and then it charged toward the Rock Ninja below.

As for all the Ninja Villages dividing up Konoha and the Land of Fire together, that was even more impossible; after all, the remaining Ninja Villages did not have equal strength, and the result of a division would inevitably be that the strong remain strong.

Although Uchiha Feiyu's eyes were only Three-Tomoe, in terms of pure ocular power, they were definitely at a level superior to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan; it was just that because he was walking the path of atavism, he did not reveal the Mangekyo pattern.

However, after thinking it over carefully, Uchiha Feiyu suppressed the thought in his heart; Madara Uchiha was no idiot, and an Uchiha possessing a Mangekyo Sharingan was far stronger than a White Zetsu. It could be said that as long as a White Zetsu was discovered, it was almost impossible for it to escape.

"This is... White Fang Blade Technique: Wind Slash Technique! So, when using Susanoo, one can also simultaneously stack the White Fang Blade Technique?"

"I feel like your horizons have broadened quite a bit, Kakashi; you can actually see through this kind of international situation."

Uchiha Feiyu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. In fact, what Kakashi said did indeed make a lot of sense; the fact that none of the Five Great Shinobi Villages had been destroyed after several Ninja World Wars in itself proved the correctness of his theory.
