Suddenly, three young women appeared on the battlefield.
Their skirts fluttered loudly in the wind and sand, but their skin glowed with a delicate luster under the blazing sun.
Manaka, Karin, and Shion exchanged smiles.
They had just returned from the Royal Palace of the Land of Water, and the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in their eyes was brimming with power, making them eager to act.
"Sisters, we should use the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan father gifted us to end this battle."
Shion, sensing the two special ocular techniques hidden in her eyes, showed an excited expression.
The ocular technique in her left eye was "Cursed Puppet," which could allow her to temporarily control the bodies of others, and the other was "Future Sight," which allowed her to glimpse fragments of the future.
Manaka lightly nodded and smiled, reminding them, "Don't forget father's instructions: do not wantonly slaughter lives."
One of Manaka's ocular jutsu was "Bane of Evil Arrow," which specialized in countering Tailed Beasts and dissolving energy. The other was the gentle and pure "Light of Purification," which could dispel all abnormal states.
Karin showed her two small canines. "Rest assured. I will show mercy, as long as they don't give me trouble."
Several Suna ninjas, seeing them chatting, secretly launched an attack toward them.
"Interesting, someone actually wants to ambush us."
Immediately afterward, three torrents of Chakra—red, orange, and purple—shot into the sky, spreading out at an astonishing speed.
"Perfect Susanoo!"
The three sisters' simultaneous soft cry pierced through the wind and sand, resounding across the battlefield.
Three Perfect Susanoo, each over two hundred meters tall, simultaneously erupted from the ground.
The colossal shadows enveloped the battlefield, making it difficult for the ninjas of Sunagakure to breathe.
"That... that's Perfect Susanoo! And three of them!"
Some Suna ninjas widened their eyes, the Kunai in their hands clattering onto the scorching sand.
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and their lips quivered.
"Uchiha... how can they have so many Mangekyo powerhouses? We... we can't possibly win."
This incident was like a spark dropped into boiling oil, instantly igniting panic within the Sunagakure forces.
The Suna ninjas who were previously struggling to resist all showed expressions of despair, and the hands gripping their ninja tools began to weaken.
Manaka looked at the poisoned ninjas from the Land of Water, her eyes narrowing.
Light of Purification!
Dozens of orange beams shot out from her, landing on the poisoned casualties.
The blackened complexions of these poisoned ninjas quickly faded, and their painful groans gradually subsided.
"Huh, I feel like I'm cured."
"Me too. Thank you, Princess Manaka!"
The casualties struggled to get up, all thanking Manaka.
Manaka nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the effect of the Light of Purification.
Just then, the ground suddenly shook violently, and a large amount of sand frantically gathered, forming a figure over 50 meters tall.
It gently swept its tail, raising a sky full of yellow sand that blotted out the sun as it swung.
Shukaku immediately became stunned when it saw the three 200-meter-tall Susanoo figures.
It roared furiously, "You bastard Gaara, you actually made me face three monsters like this!"
Manaka's eyes narrowed, the feathered light pattern in her pupils suddenly flared, and the Bane of Evil Arrow instantly materialized in Susanoo's hand.
"Bane of Evil Arrow, go."
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a gentle, low command.
The Bane of Evil Arrow shot out like a streaking meteor, accurately hitting the center of Shukaku's forehead.
In an instant, orange and white seal patterns spread out like a spiderweb, immediately covering Shukaku's entire body.
Shukaku let out a mournful roar, and its massive sand body collapsed with a crash, kicking up sand and dust everywhere.
As the dust settled, Gaara, who had returned to his human form, lay exhausted on the ground. The stray hairs on his forehead were soaked with sweat, sticking to his pale face, his eyes filled with unbelievable confusion.
Now, the Tailed Beast inside him was completely sealed, and he could not utilize any of its power for the time being.
"Gaara!"
The Suna ninjas cried out in despair.
The last shred of hope in their hearts was utterly shattered by Manaka's ocular technique, and morale instantly collapsed.
"Now it's my turn to act!"
Karin looked excited. She activated her Mangekyo ocular technique, using Mind Perception to capture the enemy's attack intentions.
A Suna ninja tried to sneak attack a Land of Water ninja from behind but was detected by Karin beforehand.
She abruptly turned her head, and a red light flashed in her Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Life Manipulation!
That Suna ninja instantly felt the life energy within his body locked by an invisible force, and he collapsed weakly onto the ground.
"My... my Chakra is being drained... and my body's strength is almost gone."
Karin licked her lips. The draining effect of Life Manipulation was stronger than she had imagined.
"If you dare resist again, I will completely drain your life energy." Her voice was icy.
Through Mind Perception, every Suna ninja clearly felt the threat of death.
Simultaneously, Shion's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly lit up, and pale purple ocular power spread out like ripples, covering a large area.
Cursed Puppet!
Instantly, the eyes of the Suna ninjas covered by the ocular power became terrified. They bent their knees, and dropped to the ground with a thud.
Hundreds of Suna ninjas knelt toward the three princesses like puppets controlled by strings, creating an extremely shocking sight.
"No... my body... it's out of control!"
The Suna ninjas let out desperate screams, yet could only watch helplessly as their bodies performed acts of submission and prostration.
Shion's Future Sight operated simultaneously, catching the thoughts of several Sunagakure nobles in the distance who intended to flee during the chaos.
The corners of her lips lifted slightly, and the pale purple ocular power spread out again.
Cursed Puppet!
The nobles who were secretly slipping away were instantly controlled by an invisible force, kneeling submissively on the ground.
Shion said in an undeniable tone, "Put down your weapons and stop resisting, and you will live. My father, Shun, has said that after your surrender, Sunagakure will not be annexed, and your families and homes will remain safe."
This voice was the final straw, completely shattering the psychological defenses of the Suna ninjas.
The ninjas who were still stubbornly resisting could no longer hold on after seeing their comrades controlled by the ocular technique, Gaara sealed, and the fleeing nobles captured.
Some young Suna ninjas tremblingly threw down the Kunai in their hands, tears mixing with sweat as they fell.
"I... I surrender... I don't want to die... I want to go home to see my family."
Where there was one, there was a second.
More and more Suna ninjas put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.
Some ninjas pressed their hands together, silently praying for their families' safety. Others slumped onto the sand, panting heavily, the intent to resist completely extinguished in their eyes, leaving only the relief of surviving a disaster.
Rasa, hovering in mid-air, looked down at the ninjas being controlled by the ocular technique and surrendering, then looked at the exhausted Gaara lying on the ground.
He slowly closed his eyes.
The large amount of gold dust he was controlling instantly lost its power and slowly dropped under the force of gravity.
He knew that as the Kazekage, he had done his best. Further resistance would only lead to the senseless sacrifice of more Suna ninjas.
Manaka, Karin, and Shion exchanged glances, a satisfied smile appearing in their eyes.
Their test of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was completed with perfection.
The sealing power of the Bane of Evil Arrow, the healing effect of the Light of Purification, the deterrence of Life Manipulation, the precision of Mind Perception, the control of the Cursed Puppet, and the evasion provided by Future Sight—each ability demonstrated powerful results.
The three princesses controlled their Susanoo, slowly withdrawing their Chakra. The massive figures gradually became transparent and finally vanished amidst the sky-high yellow sand.
As the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was deactivated, the controlled ninjas finally regained control of their bodies, but they no longer had the courage to resist.
They slumped on the ground, panting heavily, wearing expressions of relief at having survived the ordeal.
Nawaki walked forward, a look of envy on his face. "Princess Manaka, Princess Karin, Princess Shion, Sunagakure has officially surrendered. Your Mangekyo ocular techniques are truly incredible."
Manaka nodded slightly, looking toward Gaara, who was sprawled on the ground, and the surrendering Suna ninjas.
"I hope this is the last war. May this desert nation finally usher in true peace. The power father bestowed upon us is ultimately meant for protection, not slaughter."
