Chapter 459: Warm-up
Dark red viscous liquid clung to the glistening, cold ice crystal skeleton.
Squirming, fleshing out the body outside the ice frame.
Gradually forming a huge body, over a hundred meters tall!
"Sage Art: Giant God Warrior!"
"Hmph... finally finished."
The pink-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief.
While Danzo was performing the Summoning Jutsu, Haruno Sakura finally unleashed her ninjutsu—
A frost giant with high-strength ice as the skeleton and strange fluid as flesh and blood!
"This... what kind of ninjutsu is this?"
Karin held her breath and said blankly.
The huge size brought unparalleled oppressive force; a giant over a hundred meters tall, at this distance, even looking up, one couldn't see the full picture. One could only see the giant's enormous body shrouding the battlefield, casting a long shadow on the ground...
Compared to the ice giant, the fierce summoned beast summoned by Danzo seemed like a docile cat lying at the giant's feet!
"..." Sasuke, also watching the battle, fell silent.
Standing beside the red-haired girl, he stared fixedly at Haruno Sakura performing ninjutsu on the field.
So strong...
Although a bit reluctant to admit it. But she was indeed very strong, far stronger than himself.
Is this person really Haruno Sakura?
Sasuke suddenly doubted his memory. How could that weak, cowardly, and crybaby girl in his impression be the same person as this graceful and outstanding Haruno Sakura in front of him?
Among those present, only Danzo was dismissive. He snorted lightly: "A petty trick, just an empty shell to scare people!"
In the entire ninja world, apart from the Mangekyo Sharingan's Susanoo and the First Hokage's Wood Golem Jutsu, where else could there be huge humanoid ninjutsu worthy of the name?
"Whether it's an empty shell, try it... and you'll know!"
Haruno Sakura stood on the giant's shoulder, looking down at Danzo below, and said coldly.
While speaking, the red giant suddenly raised its hand.
The huge palm smashed violently to the ground!
A burst of earth-shaking trembling. The giant hand slammed on the ground hard, as if the sky was falling and the earth cracking. A huge shallow pit appeared on the ground instantly!
Danzo's eyes tightened. His reaction and speed were not slower than young people at all. Exerting force from his waist, he twisted abruptly, jumping out from the gap between the giant's fingers in the nick of time, barely dodging Haruno Sakura's attack.
But Danzo's summoned beast wasn't so agile: it rolled clumsily on the ground a few times, trying to dodge the big hand falling from the sky, but instead was firmly grasped and pressed to the ground!
This giant Baku summoned by Danzo was quite powerful and could be considered one of Danzo's trump cards. But now it was easily crushed in the giant's hand, locked dead like by iron pliers, immobile, instantly letting out a shrill, high-pitched scream resounding through the clouds!
"AWOOO—!"
The giant Baku was pressed to the ground by the giant controlled by the girl. Its limbs paddled constantly, struggling frantically, trying to break free from Haruno Sakura's grip, but could only futilely dig a few deep mud pits under its body, then made no more movement!
"Die..."
The pink-haired girl standing high on the giant's shoulder moved her crimson lips slightly and extended her right hand.
Then, the girl's open palm suddenly clenched into a fist.
Bang—!
The giant abruptly clenched its right hand!
Danzo's face twitched violently.
Black blood burst from the giant's palm, splattering on the girl's flawless pretty face, leaving spots of blood.
Haruno Sakura gently wiped away the blood flowing down her cheek, and glanced lightly at Danzo, who was hiding aside with an ugly face.
"Don't worry... it's your turn soon!"
Danzo Shimura remained silent.
The expression on his face was so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.
His chest was still heaving constantly. The fierce battle had already made this old man's body begin to be overwhelmed!
Exhausted body, sore muscles, frantically beating heart, all protesting against Danzo's rough use of them!
However, Haruno Sakura would not give him a chance to breathe.
The girl's hands deftly formed seals, manipulating the ice giant to launch continuous attacks!
Swish! Swish!
Ignoring physical exhaustion, Danzo forcibly raised his body height, dodging two more punches from the ice giant; the latter's fists hit the ground, causing gravel and dust to fly everywhere, scraping a few long bloody marks on the old man's face.
Huff! Huff!
Danzo's breathing sounded heavy like broken bellows.
The ice giant's fist swung out for the third time. Before the fist arrived, the fierce fist wind already made his cheeks ache. Danzo forced himself to take a breath, wanting to jump up, but unexpectedly his thigh went soft, and he actually stumbled!
A pool of blood flowed from under the giant's fist.
The next moment, Danzo flipped up, the scars on his body disappeared, and his breathless breathing returned to calm.
Only a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Revived again." Haruno Sakura looked down at him and said lightly, "So... how many more times can you revive?"
Danzo glanced at his right hand where another Sharingan had closed, speechless.
His heart was cold!
"Danzo is completely helpless... Although he can revive unharmed every time, this revival obviously cannot go on indefinitely..."
Karin murmured.
"Yes, he is going to lose." Sasuke's face was gloomy, speaking indifferently, "Danzo's only chance of winning is to delay time, waiting for Haruno Sakura to be exhausted... Manipulating ninjutsu of such scale, the chakra consumption must be terrifying!"
"No... very strange, when Haruno Sakura manipulates this jutsu, it seems she doesn't need too much chakra to exert extremely strong combat power...!" Karin tried hard to sense Haruno Sakura's chakra and said in surprise, "That chakra of hers only consumed a small part!"
"This jutsu... definitely has a problem!" The red-haired girl pushed her glasses and analyzed firmly!
Haruno Sakura's jutsu had a simple secret—
She used non-Newtonian fluid to construct the giant.
The so-called non-Newtonian fluid refers to liquids that do not conform to Newton's law of viscosity—well, Haruno Sakura only remembered this nonsense about this thing. As for the formula? When she was a student back then, she didn't understand it either.
So no need to make it sound so mysterious, because... actually, any suspension can be considered a non-Newtonian fluid; some of them possess very practical properties.
For example, dough.
Soft enough to be kneaded at will.
But if you punch it hard, it will become harder than stone—this is the characteristic of non-Newtonian fluid: the stronger the pressure and faster the speed it receives, the higher the viscosity, and the liquid will become as hard as a solid.
In her previous life, there were even rumors that non-Newtonian fluid body armor had been developed.
—Haruno Sakura certainly didn't believe it.
This thing hadn't reached such a formidable level yet.
Without enough volume, even carefully prepared non-Newtonian fluid couldn't solidify and show strong defensive capabilities.
So until mastering Sage Mode, Haruno Sakura had never considered adding this interesting fluid into ninjutsu—because only super-large ninjutsu could display its characteristics of being both soft and hard!
For example, this giant under Haruno Sakura's feet which she called "Giant God Warrior."
Huge humanoid ninjutsu either used chakra to condense a physical body to fight like Susanoo, or activated lifeless, dead and stiff water, earth, wood, and other objects into human forms and forcibly maintained their vitality with chakra.
The former could only be used by the Uchiha clan, and the latter could only be squandered casually by strong people with near-infinite chakra like Hashirama.
Haruno Sakura's ninjutsu was different.
Thanks to this characteristic of non-Newtonian fluid, the Giant God Warrior could both use its body flexibly and possess extremely strong defensive capabilities—the faster and harder the enemy attacked, the tougher it became.
Whether it was the difficulty of casting or the burden on chakra, it was quite economical!
And at this time, a new round of battle had begun on the field.
Danzo, who still hadn't figured out a way to break the situation, also began a new round of clumsy dodging!
"Looks like it's not the fake show Danzo imagined..." Obito, who had been sitting aside watching the show leisurely, gradually became serious in his eyes.
The ice giant's huge size made even the well-informed him look sideways.
More importantly, with such a huge size, it could still possess agile movements, and the consumption of chakra seemed not very intense...
"However, strangely, Haruno Sakura could clearly kill Danzo with other ninjutsu, why chose this move?"
One must know that even the "not very intensely consuming" Giant God Warrior consumed much more stamina than ordinary Water Release!
Wind Blade Torrent and Monstrous Strength, etc., could also instantly kill Danzo, right?
The cold and bewitching three-tomoe under Obito's mask looked at Haruno Sakura, meeting the girl's burning eyes.
In an instant, he seemed to understand something—
"This move... is specially performed to deal with me!"
"Using it to kill Danzo is just a small warm-up..."
