Chapter 271: Evil God
The cult leader sensed something was amiss and tried to interrupt Ino's hand seals.
But it was a step too late; Ino's hand seals were too fast.
Under high pressure, the silver water line struck the front of the giant rock directly.
With a "hissing" sound, a flash of light passed. The massive rock, five meters wide and ten meters high, was cut in half at its one-third mark. The irregular patterns on the rock's face became even more distorted.
Her Water Release proficiency was high, and she had abundant chakra. Aside from her hand seals being a little slow, in all other aspects, if the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, were to use the Water Severing Wave himself, he would be at Ino's current level.
The cult leader was first greatly alarmed, then roared as if his own mother had died: "Fool! Fool, what are you doing?! Are you insane?"
Strands of black energy emerged from the severed section of the giant rock. The temperature within the underground cavern rose sharply, and the surrounding rocks trembled erratically, like a human heart.
Since she had made a move, of course, she had to kill the opponent! Taking the initiative was crucial; Ino trusted her observation and judgment.
This wasn't an unsealing; the Water Severing Wave had already harmed this evil god.
Since it could be harmed, it wasn't anything remarkable. As long as it had a health bar, it could be killed!
"Not dead? Or is the cutting method wrong? Try this move, Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
Her Kage-level Water Release ability, combined with her 10 points in "Essence," made her Water Release techniques like a tsunami upon activation. A massive torrent of water rushed towards the cultists, the overwhelming force seeming capable of erasing everything.
"Hahahaha! Insignificant ninja, you truly understand nothing!" The cult leader, like a lunatic, who was previously frenzied, had now regained his composure. His followers also stood motionless, facing the overwhelming flood that seemed poised to engulf the entire underground cavern in an instant. They turned a blind eye, merely shouting slogans with fanatical fervor.
"The True God is invincible!"
"True God!"
"True God!"
They were all incredibly crazed. Even with their hoods up, Ino could see the bulging veins on their chins and necks.
The water current was blocked by an invisible barrier five meters before it reached the giant rock. Outside the barrier, the flood raged, but inside, it remained completely dry, as if an unseen giant hand was shielding these cultists from the Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave.
Ino signaled Sakura to take the young girls and hide behind her. She continuously switched between Wind Release: Pressure Damage, Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, and other ninjutsu, but all were blocked by the invisible barrier.
She could feel that her ninjutsu was being neutralized by a strange energy.
"Hmph! Ninja, you cannot withstand a single blow from the True God! Kneel and surrender! Kneel!" the black-robed leader shouted.
The surrounding believers followed suit, their voices converging and echoing in Ino's ears.
"Still not surrendering? Kneel!"
"Still not surrendering! Kneel!"
Is this a genjutsu? Or hypnosis? Ino's Yin Release proficiency was high enough that she was almost unaffected, just a little annoyed.
The girls behind her couldn't hold on. Their eyes were dull, and a few even stretched out a hand, stumbling forward as if trying to grasp illusory relatives.
"Sakura!"
"Okay, I'll do it, Release!" Sakura tried to calm the girls by dispelling the genjutsu, but this method had no effect.
The girls continued to walk forward, dazed and foolish.
Inside the barrier, the cult leader laughed outrageously: "Ninjutsu? Genjutsu? The True God's power is beyond your imagination! This time, with two young female ninjas as sacrifices, the True God will surely grant me a new immortal body!"
"Ino, what should we do?" Sakura, despite her usual tendencies, had some strength. She blocked three girls with her left hand, pulled two with her right, and physically held back one with her body. Tonton and Pakkun also bit onto the trouser legs of one girl each. They had "teamed up" to stop the girls who had fallen into the illusion.
"Don't panic." Unlike Sakura, who easily became flustered, Ino looked at the barrier with great interest.
She didn't know about other worlds, but in this world, there was no enemy that chakra couldn't solve!
Ino created two shadow clones, and all three performed hand seals simultaneously.
Her 9 points in "Seal" made her movements incredibly fast. Sakura only saw afterimages of fingers before Ino released the ninjutsu.
"Combination Ninjutsu: Poison Pufferfish!"
The main body spewed poison, while one shadow clone added water and the other added wind.
Dense drops of poison, the size of a child's fist, pelted the barrier.
"Crackledy-pop!" The blackish-purple liquid, like splashed ink, struck the outermost layer of the shield, emitting soft "hissing" sounds.
The cult leader was still smirking. Ino remained completely unshaken, continuously converting poisonous chakra, and the shadow clones maintained the combination ninjutsu.
One second, two seconds... by the fifth second, the cult leader's expression changed slightly. By the tenth second, some fine black spots appeared on the originally transparent barrier. There weren't many, but they were conspicuous.
Aided by the water flow and wind speed, the corrosive poison seeped into every opening. Although invisible, Ino could feel that this once perfectly smooth barrier had been eroded by her, creating countless tiny pits.
"Pfft!" A cultist behind the barrier violently spurted blood. Then, as if triggering a domino effect, the cultists collapsed one by one. The skin exposed outside their black robes ulcerated extensively. Several physically weaker cultists twitched a couple of times and soon died from the poison.
Ino laughed provocatively, "Using the life force of your followers to activate techniques? It's not that impressive. Is this your True God? Such a weak god, hahahaha—"
Tonton chimed in supportively with a couple of "oink oink" sounds.
The evil god didn't just take the beating without retaliating. As Ino attempted to completely break through the barrier with poison, a sound, both mournful and lingering, resonated through the underground cavern.
Upon hearing it, Ino felt her whole body flush with heat!
This heat was something that those who understood would understand. Her combination ninjutsu required precise coordination. With her chakra flow stagnating, the Poison Pufferfish technique immediately ceased.
She could barely endure it; after all, she had withstood countless warnings from the FBI and had seen a lot.
Sakura, who hadn't been tempered by the information explosion and whose body only knew to follow its instincts, found it a bit unbearable.
Sakura's face was flushed red, yet she didn't know how to relieve the heat inside her. Her broad forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
The remaining young girls were in an even worse state, all enduring it with great difficulty.
Seeing this wretched thing disrupt her hand seals and throw her side into disarray, Ino felt a headache coming on. This was truly an evil god!
Jiraiya might have really enjoyed the current scene. She... she also spared two glances with her peripheral vision.
When two fair-skinned young girls started lifting their skirts, she took out the Shinigami Rosary Beads and gently shook them twice.
