Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 168 The Great Annihilation Returns

"Kill, kill them?"

Darui was stunned as he watched the demon's head fall to the ground.

He had considered that Akali's strength might allow her to kill the demon swiftly, but he hadn't expected it to be this swift.

"No, they weren't killed!"

Akali twirled the scythe in her hand, her searching gaze falling upon the mountain beneath her feet.

As a ninja who has mastered the art of balance, she is extremely sensitive to life and death.

The slash that just severed the demon's head looked clean and decisive, but it felt like it only brushed across a puddle of dirt, so it was probably just a fake.

However, a faint, decaying, and chilling aura of death emanated from the mountain beneath their feet.

Before Akali could even identify the source of that deathly aura...

"Rumble, rumble—"

The mountain suddenly began to shake, as if it were an earthquake. The violent shaking made everyone on the mountain lose their footing.

"Splash—"

Rolling rocks fell from the mountaintop.

"Watch out for falling rocks!"

The ninjas' warning cries rose and fell.

Akali, however, did not look at the falling rocks; she was searching for the presence of the Wraith the entire time.

Just as the rocks were falling, she finally found it—it was on the mountaintop.

"That coward has finally come out!" Akali murmured.

"They're out?" Darui followed Akali's gaze to the mountaintop, his dark face suddenly hardening.

Because at this moment, the top of the mountain has been completely broken open, and a huge armored terracotta warrior's head has replaced the original top of the mountain.

It was clearly the force that pushed open the mountaintop, causing the rockfall and the earthquake.

"That's a demon?!" Darui couldn't believe it.

The mountain beneath their feet was about a thousand meters high, neither too high nor too low, while the giant terracotta warrior, Wangliang, resided inside the mountain. Judging from the proportion of its exposed head, Wangliang's body was at least two hundred meters tall.

Even the most powerful humanoid enemies can be dealt with by ninjas through their extensive experience in fighting them.

But how do they trade in terracotta giants like you, who are over 200 meters tall?

Not to mention, there are still two more mountain spirit terracotta warriors that haven't come out yet!

“Um… Akali, should we retreat?” Darui was having second thoughts: “That’s no longer an enemy we can handle. I need to go back and report to Lord Raikage.”

“Okay!” Akali turned her gaze back to Darui: “You take your men and leave, just bring the witch to me.”

“You…” Darui looked at Akali in shock: “Aren’t you leaving? Akali, I know you’re strong, but that monster, Wraith, is too overpowered. Shouldn’t we avoid its sharp edge?”

"I should avoid his sharp edge?" Akali glanced at Darui with disdain: "Alright, bring the witch here, you don't need to worry about anything else."

“This… alright!” Darui hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to believe Akali and the intelligence that the Cloud Ninja had received.

At the same time, after revealing its head, the will of the demon fully returned. The giant clay eyes opened, letting out an angry roar: "Ninjas, I will kill you!"

"Rumble, rumble—"

More intense tremors followed.

To everyone's astonishment, the demon standing in the mountain began to smash the mountain shell around its body with its huge clay fists. As the powerful fists made contact with the mountain shell, huge rocks and clods of mud kept falling down, and soon a large hole was created, revealing more of the terracotta figures.

The same applies to the divine warrior figures in the other two mountains.

Before long, three giants, each over two hundred meters tall, emerged from the mountain and surrounded the ninjas in a triangle formation.

Compared to these giants, the ninjas, who were generally over a meter tall, seemed so insignificant.

Everyone who witnessed this scene turned pale and trembled violently. They instinctively gathered around Akali and Sasuke, waiting for them to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport them, just as they had said before they came in.

However, since Akali didn't speak, Sasuke didn't move, and no one dared to urge him.

until……

"Akali, I've brought you the witch!"

Darui placed Orchid next to Akali.

"Where's Naruto?" Akali asked, not seeing Naruto.

“Naruto slipped and fell into the ravine!” Shion replied.

"Alright!" Akali nodded. As long as she knew where Naruto went, it wouldn't matter if she died here or not.

"Sasuke, take them with you!"

After saying that, Akali pulled out her brand new Darkin Greatsword.

Compared to the previous fight against Itachi Uchiha, this time the Darkin Greatsword is even more crimson, and when the sunlight shines on it, it looks as if blood is flowing on it.

At the same time, the heart at the hilt of the sword beat more and more powerfully, thumping as if someone were drumming inside.

This isn't because the Darkin Blade has taken some kind of super-powerful tonic; it's because Akali took some time to do a few more draws with regular gold, maxing out her gold.

So as soon as the Darkin Greatsword was drawn, the Wraith immediately felt a tremendous threat!

The demon, who had been enjoying the ninjas' fear, could no longer contain himself.

To Akali's right, the terracotta warrior Takemikazuchi, carrying a longbow and a sword at his waist, takes off his longbow without even hanging an arrow, and simply draws it to its full extent.

Then...

"Boom—"

A thunderous roar erupted as Takemikazuchi released his longbow, and an arrow formed from lightning shot straight out, hurtling towards Akali and the others like a missile.

Seeing this, Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly to the needle point: "Hold on tight!"

"brush--"

Sasuke led everyone away using the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared.

At the same time, Akali plunged the Darkin Blade into the full gap in her chest.

"Dame, open!"

"Rumble, rumble—"

In an instant, with Akali's words, a huge and violent crimson energy pillar descended from Akali's center!

When Takemikazuchi's lightning bolt struck the energy pillar, it was like a wave crashing against a bridge pier—it dissipated as quickly as it came.

The powerful energy vibrated the air and bombarded the ground, generating wave after wave of shockwaves and seismic waves. The mountains, which had just been tormented by the demons, wailed and began to collapse as if they had reached their limit.

"Ahhh!"

Beside the energy pillar, the powerless priestess Shion let out an instinctive scream of fear on the shaking, collapsing mountainside.

At that moment, upon hearing Ziyuan's scream, Akali seemed to remember her. A blood-red chain shot out from the energy pillar, grabbed Ziyuan's slender waist, and pulled her towards the energy pillar.

"Yamete! No, we can't go in!"

Smelling the rich, bloody stench from the surface of the energy pillar, and sensing a hunger and madness more sinister and violent than any demon, Ziyuan struggled desperately, her whole body filled with resistance.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the witch resists, her body is still soft; the fragrant and soft witch is destined to be devoured by Akali.

Without any regard for Violet's wishes, Akali pulled the witch, who represented purity and innocence, into the tainted body of the Darkin!
