The Kiri Jōnin, though intimidated by Shin's Susanoo, still attacked after the Mizukage gave the order.
They didn't believe they couldn't break through the Susanoo, even with so many of them.
Over forty Jōnin, plus the Mizukage, unleashed their Jutsu. Shin's current Susanoo form couldn't withstand such an assault.
But he wasn't going to just stand there and take it.
He channeled more Chakra and ocular power into the Susanoo. Armor materialized, and its form grew larger.
Then, legs appeared, followed by wings. It was now a true warrior god.
The Perfect Susanoo towered over them like a mountain.
Its destructive power was immense. The Mizukage couldn't even imagine it.
"Mizukage, if I attack, you'll all die. Wouldn't you agree?"
"So I'll give you a chance to escape. Whether you succeed or not depends on your own abilities."
Black flames, Amaterasu, ignited on the Susanoo's sword.
With Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi, Shin could now imbue his Susanoo's weapons with the inextinguishable flames.
Sensing the immense danger, the Mizukage didn't hesitate. "RETREAT!!!" he yelled.
This wasn't the time to be brave. Even if he didn't care about his own life, he had to consider Kirigakure.
If he died, the village would descend into chaos.
The Hōzuki and Kaguya Clans were already restless. With him gone, they might rebel.
The Mizukage and the Kiri Jōnin fled. Shin didn't hold back. He swung his sword.
The earth shook, and a massive chasm opened up, black flames burning within.
The Mizukage and the forty elite Jōnin were incinerated, leaving no trace.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. You just couldn't dodge." Shin looked at the devastation he had wrought.
The Mizukage had dodged the sword, but not the Amaterasu flames.
Shin had finally killed someone with Amaterasu. It was a joyous occasion. It seemed Amaterasu could only truly shine in his hands.
The shockwave from his attack had spread far and wide, catching the retreating Kiri Shinobi and inflicting heavy casualties.
With his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Shin could see the fleeing Kiri Shinobi from a great distance.
The Mizukage had brought over three thousand Shinobi. Over half were dead, most killed by Shin.
This was the greatest loss Kirigakure had ever suffered. And the Mizukage would be remembered as the most disgraceful one.
He had lost the Forbidden Scroll and led Kiri to a crushing defeat. The villagers would probably demand he commit suicide.
Shin didn't care. He had killed many Shinobi, but he felt no guilt.
Shinobi weren't innocent. If he were killed one day, no one would mourn him.
But that day would never come. No one could kill him.
He didn't pursue the fleeing Kiri Shinobi. He deactivated his Susanoo and extinguished the Amaterasu flames with Kagutsuchi.
He turned and left, leaving behind a scar on the land and countless corpses.
Back at the Konoha camp, the Shinobi were restless. They didn't know Shin had attacked Kiri, but they had heard the commotion.
"You're finally back! We were about to come looking for you!"
Kushina, Mikoto, and Konan sighed in relief when they saw Shin.
They knew he was strong, but they couldn't help but worry.
"That was loud. We could hear it all the way from camp," Mikoto said.
"By the way, what happened to Kiri?" Kushina asked.
"They've been dealt with. The remaining Kiri Shinobi are probably running back to their village. They won't dare set foot in the Land of Fire again."
Shin said with a smile.
This defeat would leave a lasting impression. They wouldn't dare return. The Land of Fire would be their nightmare.
"Dealt with?" Mikoto and Kushina stared at him in surprise. They had thought he would just kill some Kiri Shinobi.
"Yeah, the Third Mizukage is dead. Isn't that considered 'dealt with'?"
With the Mizukage dead, Kirigakure would be too busy with internal affairs to attack Konoha again.
As for revenge? Shin didn't think they would dare.
Even if they did, he would just kill them. If they angered him, he might even attack Kirigakure and destroy the village.
Kushina and Mikoto were stunned. The Third Mizukage, dead? They couldn't believe it.
"You don't think I'm capable of that?"
"That's not it. It's just... hard to believe. A Kage... dead..."
Mikoto shook her head.
They didn't doubt Shin's strength, but the death of a Kage was still a shock.
"What's so hard to believe? The Mizukage is just a human. There's nothing strange about him dying."
Only he could say such a thing so casually. A Kage was the strongest in their village.
If news of the Mizukage's death spread, the entire Shinobi world would be shocked.
But to Shin, the Kage weren't that impressive. The truly impressive ones were those like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.
