In Naruto: Reborn With Talent

Chapter 216 - Ch216. Ringo vs Yagura 3

Ao watched the screen in shock, shaking in hopelessness as he thought, 'Is Yagura really unbeatable?'

He knew Yagura's Sanbi transformation was powerful but never in his wildest dreams would he imagine it to be so... so invincible! In just seconds he flooded entire plains in the water! That single move could possibly destroy the entire army!

Ao's thoughts darkened as he realized that putting an army against Sanbi was a suicide. Nothing short of a crafty and very powerful single ninja skilled in fuinjutsu could hope to beat the beast. There was simply no winning through sheer force.

Ao's eyes briefly lingered on the spot where Ringo's body disappeared into the depths of the water, causing him to sigh in regret. 'I doubt anyone can survive inside of an ocean of water completely controlled by Sanbi. She must be already crushed to dust.' It was then, however, that he heard a small chuckle from his right side.

Turning, Ao found a very weird scene. Rei seemed amused, Na Kona was half-purring, half-smirking, and Nadetsu Jusen was goodnaturedly rolling her eyes, looking as if she knew some grand secret but found the ignorance of others far too amusing to share.

"He bitch-slapped her..." Rei said, visibly trying to hold back his laughter.

"That he did." Nadetsu confirmed almost giddily.

"En." Kona mirthfully added.

Ao froze at the complete disregard for Ringo, "Aren't you at least a bit worried for your comrade?" He icily asked, turning towards Rei.

Before Rei could respond, Kona spoke with an eye-roll, "That's what she gets for holding back."

"She deserved it." Nadetsu snorted.

"He bitch-slapped her." Rei shrugged, still finding the situation incredibly funny.

Ao was too flabbergasted to give a verbal reply, instead, he simply stared at them in confusion. 'Could Ringo survive tha-'

A loud booming sound suddenly resounded from the screen, causing Ao to whip his head back towards it in astonishment.

Sanbi was calming down as the pain from being almost boiled alive through his carapace started to slowly dissipate. He was still somewhat vigilant but his guard was steadily dropping. He could sense his water and so far it seemed the fight was over. He was about to revert back to Yagura when his senses started screaming at him.

It took only a split of a second but the serene water surface first started angrily bubbling crimson before suddenly bursting with massive pressure as a huge crimson-colored torso of a fox-like samurai armor appeared, crackling with an inhuman amount of crimson-colored lightning chakra. The water slowly cascaded down its helmet and shoulders, sizzling and visibly vaporizing as did the water around the whole armor, covering it in hot water vapor.

The armored titan ever-so-slowly stood up, towering even above the three-tailed beast, causing the ground to shake when its foot landed on it. The air around the figure started shimmering from the sheer heat the special lightning it was made of produced, continuously boiling, superheating, and supercharging it from all the elemental chakra, nature energy, and bijuu chakra packed together. The surface of the massive fox-like armored humanoid samurai was gleaming as if burning with the crimson lightning, betraying what is happening to anyone knowing Rei and his girls' secret.

Ringo... finally decided to stop pulling her punches and started using Crimson's chakra in the fight.

It was not yet a full Bijuu transformation. Crimson was too young and weak for that. No, Ringo was simply mixing Crimson's chakra into her own Lightning Susanoo in order to enlarge and strengthen it, causing the destructive potential of her lightning armor to skyrocket.

Sanbi and the titan stared at each other, one bewildered, the other with gleaming crimson orbs of lightning full of mirth. A second of silence passed between them before they both lunged at the other, both aware their fight will be coming to an end soon.

Sanbi's body flew at the twice as big hulking mass of concentrated lightning chakra and scored a solid blow to its waist with its hardened carapace, causing the titan to slide a bit backward but it was far tougher than the beast envisioned. Water started rising around them, trying to bind the movements of the titan only to evaporate the instant it came in contact with the surface of the crimson lightning armor.

In retaliation, the Lightning Susanoo of Ringo punched the Sanbi hard, sending it crashing back into the water while causing it to scream as it felt the searing heat. Unfortunately for Sanbi, it wasn't made of element or chakra like some of its siblings so its body was quite boilable.

Sanbi wasn't dazed for long and quickly returned the offensive by throwing more waves of water at Ringo's Lightning Susanoo, making it sluggish and preventing its movement with the sheer volume of it. Sanbi knew that Ringo, as a human, didn't have an unlimited amount of chakra, and sustaining such a giant made of special Lightning would quickly deplete her meager reserves. For now, he wanted to make this into a fight of attrition, stay the hell away from her and her damned superheated armor, and outlast her through his chakra reserves.

Ringo also knew she needed to end the fight quickly and be very showy about it. She still had time. Hers and Crimson's chakra would last for a few minutes of an all-out fight but she couldn't really let herself faint at the end or worse, be somehow defeated. After all, this fight was all about showing off for the entire Elemental Nations.

As such, Ringo glanced upward, noticing the angry black clouds. She could feel the lightning acc.u.mulating in them since they were caused by the last wave of her nature energy and lightning chakra when her swords got dislodged from Sanbi's carapace when he smacked her away. These clouds could be partly taken as hers and by now, they were soaked in quite a lot of naturally formed lightning, just waiting to be used by her.

Controlling the massive chakra armor she created, Ringo fought through the mass of quickly evaporating and yet also rapidly amassing water trying to pin her down and raised the searing crimson blade belonging to her Lightning Susanoo above its head in preparation for a swing while taking it into both hands to enhance the final result.

The world seemed as if it momentarily locked itself in that scene. The raging water as if froze. The shuddering air as if stopped. The water as if momentarily calmed. The angry skies as if halted. Even the Sanbi couldn't do more than slightly widen its eyes and start hastily charging a bijuudama before the world as if moved again and Ringo's Lightning Susanoo swung the blade downward. And the heavens roared in rage...

During the slash of Ringo's Lightning Susanoo, the energy from the entire chakra construct was violently redirected into it, resulting in its instant collapse. That, however, also meant, the slash had the energy levels of the whole thing behind it as a crimson lightning slash as big as a skyscr.a.p.er was hurled at Sanbi while the armor disappeared, leaving only Ringo in the air, in her human-sized blue lightning armor.

As the crimson lightning slash approached Sanbi who now finished charging the strongest bijuudama he could, Ringo suddenly smirked. From above, an enormous amount of natural lighting suddenly fell towards the crimson slash mid-flight, colliding with it and enhancing it.

And then, the gigantic slash met bijuudama.

It all happened in a split of a second but the roaring and deafening explosion made even the strongest ninjas sweat as crimson mixed with blue, trying to overpower sun-like orange when the attacks met. In a flash, it was over.

And with it, Yagura in the form of the three-tails and half of the Kuronami plains. Completely disintegrated.

In that moment, the Land of Water lost one percent of its landmass as Ringo coldly stared at the destruction caused by her attack, and the world... irrevocably changed.
