Chapter 1020

Acid mist spread in the cave; as time passed, the corrosiveness of the acid mist would become higher and higher.

Su Xiao held Checking Zhan Long Shan horizontally in front of him. After considering for a moment, he made a decision, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot; he had used Soru.

The moment Su Xiao disappeared, Chao Mei Ming's hands were already rapidly forming seals.

"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique."

With a splash, a large amount of clear water spread to the surroundings with Chao Mei Ming as the center. The Great Waterfall Technique is the signature ninjutsu of the Mist Village. As an A-rank ninjutsu, although it is powerful, it consumes a lot of chakra.

Su Xiao, who had rushed to within three meters of Chao Mei Ming, stopped. The turbulent water flow pushed against his body, intending to wash him back. The impact of the water flow caused his feet to sink into the rock below.

Su Xiao immediately deactivated the Repel Shield. He was currently in the water flow and didn't need to worry about acid mist corrosion for the time being. The surrounding Repel Shield would only increase the water's resistance, causing him to be slammed into the magma wall behind him.

With a sizzle, the water flow washed over the magma wall. Water vapor rose, and the magma wall cooled rapidly, turning into a black rock wall that was even sturdier.

In the surging water flow, Su Xiao held his breath and, against the strong water pressure, approached Chao Mei Ming.

Chao Mei Ming was also in the water. Her orange-red long hair floated in the water, and her hands were rapidly forming seals.

Not knowing what ninjutsu Chao Mei Ming had used in the water, Su Xiao suddenly felt sharp pain on his skin. He closed his eyes subconsciously and closed the surrounding Repel Shield.

When the stinging sensation faded, Su Xiao opened his eyes. At this moment, his skin still felt a burning sensation, and his eyes felt as if they were burning with fire.

Soon, Su Xiao understood what was going on. The sealed cave was now filled with water, and both he and Chao Mei Ming were submerged in clear water.

In the water, strands of bubbles rose. These bubbles burst from time to time, and the surrounding water immediately turned light green.

Su Xiao thought about what was inside these bubbles—it was the acid mist Chao Mei Ming had created earlier. She used the Great Waterfall Technique not only to push Su Xiao back but also to change the terrain.

Water + concentrated acid mist formed a strong acid liquid. Now, Su Xiao was almost equivalent to being submerged in sulfuric acid, and as the bubbles in the water gradually burst, the corrosiveness of the strong acid liquid would become stronger and stronger.

Su Xiao took an underwater goggle from his storage space. Now with the Repel Shield blocking, the water near him wasn't very corrosive; it would only burn his corneas.

Although he didn't know how long these goggles could last, the time should be enough.

As the caster, Chao Mei Ming naturally had a way not to be corroded by the strong acid water. Continuing to drag this out would only be disadvantageous to Su Xiao.

Every Kage-level ninja has their strengths. Even if Chao Mei Ming's strength among the Five Kage was only mid-to-low, the cave terrain was very suitable for her to fight.

Over a hundred bubbles filled with acid mist floated around Chao Mei Ming. Her palms were held flat; she should be able to control these bubbles.

Clang, clang, clang...

Over a dozen blade rays penetrated through the water, slashing toward Chao Mei Ming. Her body leaped in the water, faster than usual.

But just at this moment, Chao Mei Ming suddenly felt an adhesive force.

With a splash, the clear water in the cave rushed outward. That black rock wall had been shattered at some point.

Su Xiao's hand gripped the rock wall to avoid being washed away by the water flow. It was he who had shattered the black stone wall behind him while Chao Mei Ming was dodging those blade rays.

"Impossible."

Chao Mei Ming couldn't figure it out; she couldn't figure out why Su Xiao could break the black rock wall so quickly.

The water flow rushing outward was very turbulent, and Chao Mei Ming's body tilted forward somewhat uncontrollably.

With a swish, a blade ray broke through the turbulent water flow and slashed toward Chao Mei Ming.

Puchi.

Blood spread in the water, and a small part of Chao Mei Ming's palm was washed away by the water flow.

Hands are very important to ninjas; most ninjas need to use their hands to form seals when using ninjutsu.

But Chao Mei Ming wasn't an ordinary ninja; she was a Kage, the Mizukage.

"Boil Style: Melt..."

Chao Mei Ming was actually using that broken palm to form seals.

But just at this moment, she felt sharp pain in her lower abdomen. A metal needle pierced into her lower abdomen and quickly turned into a metal flower, firmly fixed in the muscles of her lower abdomen.

Bang!

The metal flower exploded, and blood and minced meat surged, quickly washed away by the water flow.

This sudden heavy blow interrupted Chao Mei Ming's seals, and most of the water in the cave had already rushed out, leaving it about knee-deep.

"Lost."

Chao Mei Ming looked at the cold light ahead; the injury to her lower abdomen made it impossible for her to dodge.

Puchi.

Checking Zhan Long Shan pierced directly through Chao Mei Ming's chest, and her body was carried away.

Ding!

Checking Zhan Long Shan pierced into the rock wall, and Chao Mei Ming was also pinned to the rock wall. A metal wire was tied to the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan. Following the metal wire, it was Su Xiao, who was maintaining the posture of throwing the blade.

Advancing in knee-deep water would cause Su Xiao's speed to drop significantly, so he chose a faster way: throwing Checking Zhan Long Shan. The Geiduan Xian (Boundary Breaking Line) at the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan ensured that even if this strike missed, he could immediately retrieve Checking Zhan Long Shan.

The result was that Su Xiao succeeded. This blade was thrown very accurately, piercing directly through Chao Mei Ming's heart and pinning her to the rock wall.

"Lava Style: Magma..."

Although Chao Mei Ming was pierced through the heart, she didn't give up.

Swoosh~

A short blade was thrown from Su Xiao's hand.

Ding!

Blood splashed, and the Tulu short blade pierced through Chao Mei Ming's hands while she was forming seals, pinning her hands to her chest.

This time, Chao Mei Ming became much more obedient.

"It's useless."

Blood dripped down the corner of Chao Mei Ming's mouth. She was saying something, but it was unclear.

"Even if you kill me, your plans won't succeed. You are going against everyone; everyone will stand up to resist you."

This time, Su Xiao understood what Chao Mei Ming meant.

Su Xiao walked in front of Chao Mei Ming and gripped the hilt of Tulu. Chao Mei Ming's body twitched in pain.

Su Xiao pulled out Tulu and stabbed it into Chao Mei Ming's heart.

"I... will never... cooperate with a villain like you..."

Chao Mei Ming's eyes gradually lost their luster and soon lost all signs of life. Although she was a woman, she was the Mizukage and had her own persistence and beliefs in her heart. This was similar to Su Xiao, only their stances were different, and they were in an opposing relationship.

"Killing you has nothing to do with the plan. You almost slaughtered me back then, so I came back to find you. It's that simple."

Su Xiao wouldn't say any nonsense before confirming the enemy's death. He would solve the enemy in the shortest time possible. If there was anything to say, it would be after the enemy died. Talking a bunch of nonsense after subduing the enemy was a very unwise move. Now, isn't it better? Even if the enemy didn't agree with his point of view, they had no ability to speak up and refute it. Moreover, Su Xiao wouldn't force his point of view on the other party. If beliefs are different and concepts are opposing, then it's just a matter of who is stronger.

【You have killed Chao Mei Ming.】

【Hint: Because the plot character Bai Jue assisted in the battle throughout, the rewards for this time are reduced by 40%.】

【Chao Mei Ming was the Mizukage of the Mist Village. You have obtained 6.2% of the World's Source. You have now obtained a total of 33.9% of the World's Source (this reward has been reduced by 40%).】

【Your talent "Spirit Eater" has been activated, permanently increasing mana by 18 points. The current maximum mana limit is 3664 points (this reward has been reduced by 40%).】

【You have obtained a treasure chest (Dark Purple) (this reward has been reduced by 40%).】

Seeing the Reincarnation Paradise's hint, Su Xiao frowned. Without needing to think, he knew it was Bai Jue who had left the Spore Technique on his clothing, so in the judgment, Bai Jue had participated in the entire battle.

Although the rewards were reduced by 40%, Su Xiao didn't care too much about this. He had only come to collect a debt from Chao Mei Ming; she had almost killed him back then.

As for the Mist Village, as long as the Mist Village didn't come to his door to retaliate, Su Xiao wouldn't take the initiative to attack the Mist Village. He only had a personal grudge with Chao Mei Ming; what identity the other party had didn't matter.

The strange thing was that Chojuro still hadn't brought the Mist assassination squad to support her, or rather, there was no support at all.

Su Xiao wiped Checking Zhan Long Shan and the Tulu short blade clean and threw two alchemy bombs into the cave. When he walked out of the cave, the alchemy bombs exploded with a bang, and the entire cave began to collapse.

"So, where should I go next?"

Su Xiao had already achieved his expected goal, and he had gained a lot this time. You know, he had only just entered the Naruto World not long ago. In the remaining time, Su Xiao only needed to complete the main mission and the hunting mission.

"Let's go watch the show. Let's go, Xiang Bubu."

Su Xiao walked in one direction, with Xiang Bubu Wang and Amu following closely behind. It was just that Amu was severely injured. Fortunately, Amu was an alchemy creature. As long as it didn't die directly, Su Xiao could repair it quickly; after all, he was Amu's creator.
