At this very moment, Mikoto was enveloped in a half-body samurai warrior clad in armor and wielding a weapon.
That's right, the third stage of Susanoo.
Actually, Mikoto could barely use the fourth stage now, the Susanoo with legs, but she felt it unnecessary. She was only dealing with three Elite Jonin.
Also, having just awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, she wasn't proficient with it yet. Once she fully understood the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in a short while, activating the Complete Body Susanoo would be a matter of minutes.
Mikoto controlled the Susanoo to sweep across the three Elite Jonin.
Every attack caused the earth to shake and mountains to tremble.
The three Elite Jonin could only flee in a sorry state.
At this moment, one Elite Jonin jumped into the air to dodge the attack from Mikoto's Susanoo weapon.
"Amaterasu!"
Mikoto's right eye moved, and the pitch-black flames of misfortune appeared out of thin air on the Elite Jonin's body.
"Aaaah!"
As soon as the Amaterasu flames appeared, they set the Elite Jonin ablaze. The Elite Jonin frantically slapped at the flames on his body, but it was futile.
Seeing this, his two companions hurriedly threw sand and soil onto him. Lacking Water Release, this was all they could do.
But the Amaterasu flames were known as the inextinguishable flames; how could sand extinguish them?
Before long, the Jonin turned into a pile of ashes under the Amaterasu flames, making the scalps of the other two Elite Jonin tingle.
They looked at each other, nodded, and immediately split up to flee.
They couldn't fight at all. If they didn't run, what could they do? Stay and die for nothing?
That woman was completely protected by that armored monster. It wasn't like they hadn't tried attacking, but their attacks had absolutely no effect.
So if they didn't run now, when would they?
However, the two were foolish. By running like this, they left their backs wide open, instantly giving Mikoto an opportunity.
Mikoto's right eye moved again, and the Amaterasu flames appeared on the back of one Elite Jonin, igniting him.
Then, she threw the weapon in Susanoo's hand at the other one, piercing him directly.
With that, the three Elite Jonin died completely at Mikoto's hands.
Mikoto's first battle with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan ended perfectly.
"Thanks to Minato. As expected of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Even after using its abilities so many times and keeping Susanoo active, I don't feel any pain in my body.
"If it were before, my eyes would definitely be hurting like hell, and my vision would have deteriorated. It wouldn't be as easy as it is now."
Touching her eyes, Mikoto murmured to herself.
Seeing that her side was finished, Mikoto turned to look at Minato's side and found that Minato was also looking at her, so she smiled gently.
Such a big commotion had long alerted the others in the Hidden Grass Village.
But they were too slow.
Or rather, Mikoto resolved the enemies too quickly.
When the Grass Shadow arrived with his subordinates, all they could see was a corpse pierced by a sharp weapon, a panting Shimada Masaharu, and a boundless sea of fire.
"Konoha ninjas? Attacking my Hidden Grass Village on a large scale is not something an ally should do, is it?"
The Grass Shadow instantly recognized Mikoto's origin.
"What an ally shouldn't do, our Grass Shadow should know best. But your greed made you do something you shouldn't have, am I right?"
Minato gave the Grass Shadow a profound look and said something that most of the Hidden Grass villagers couldn't understand.
But Minato only needed the Grass Shadow to understand.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
The Grass Shadow's eyes flickered, and he immediately denied it flatly. I'll deny it to the death; what can you do to me?
"For a mere C-Rank Ninjutsu and a B-Rank Ninjutsu that might not even be honored, the Hidden Grass Village sold my Konoha to the Hidden Cloud Village, allowing them to intercept and kill the genius Genin of my village. You don't know?
"It seems you have no intention of confessing honestly. In that case, I can't let you live. Go to hell with the scum of the Hidden Cloud Village."
Minato pronounced the Grass Shadow's crime.
"Hmph, you dare to slander me like this. I suspect you are not from Konoha at all.
"Just the two of you, do you think I'm afraid? Hidden Grass ninjas, hear my order! Capture these two criminals attempting to attack the village!"
The Grass Shadow refused to admit his actions and instead ordered to kill Minato and Mikoto.
Because once he admitted it, the fact that he sold out Konoha for selfish reasons would be known to the whole village, and they might not listen to his orders then.
After all, there was another faction in the village that had always disobeyed his leadership.
The strength of the two factions was evenly matched, and he only held a slight upper hand.
But the people of the other faction were not fools. Seeing the Grass Shadow's demeanor, they knew this matter was likely true.
"Grass Shadow, I believe the people of Konoha wouldn't lie. I think you should cooperate with the investigation. If you are truly innocent, I believe the people of Konoha won't make things difficult for you."
The Great Elder of the Hidden Grass Village stepped forward. He was the leader of the other faction opposing the Grass Shadow.
"Great Elder, what do you mean? Are you colluding with Konoha to harm the village?"
The Grass Shadow started to make false countercharges.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Grass Shadow, Konoha has grasped all the intelligence, so it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not.
"Because whether you admit it or not, you must die."
Minato looked at the Grass Shadow with disdain. You piece of trash, when I say you're guilty, you're guilty. If arguing was useful, my Konoha Intelligence Division wouldn't need to exist.
"Hmph, if you insist on pinning the crime on me, it's useless no matter how I explain." The Grass Shadow snorted coldly, then ordered his direct subordinates to step forward and surround Minato and the others.
A great battle was about to break out.
