Shine, who had been pushed back, stood his ground. His Chakra suddenly surged, and ink-black energy poured out like a tide, condensing into a massive phantom behind him.
Within his eyes, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan shattered, replaced by a Mangekyo in the shape of four interlocking, rotating wind blades. The crimson ocular light pierced through the steam, carrying a heart-palpitating pressure!
"Susanoo—!!"
Shine's low growl sounded like the whisper of a demon god. The pitch-black Chakra phantom instantly solidified, transforming into a half-bodied giant over ten meters tall.
The armor of the Susanoo was covered in hideous patterns, and a faint aura of Yin-Yang Release lingered around it. One hand suddenly reached out, gripping the neck of the charging Three-Tails like an eagle's claw!
"Roar—!!"
The Three-Tails let out a painful roar as its massive body was forced to a halt. Its three tail fins frantically lashed at the Susanoo's armor, but they only produced dull thuds, unable to budge it in the slightest.
"Have you had enough yet!"
Shine's voice echoed through the Susanoo, carrying a cold fury. The Susanoo's right hand was raised high, and three black magatama containing terrifying ocular power condensed in its palm. The Chakra fluctuations caused the surrounding air to tremble violently—it was the exclusive Ninjutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Yasaka Magatama!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three magatama smashed into the Three-Tails' head like cannonballs, each impact erupting with an earth-shattering roar.
The Three-Tails' scales shattered, blood gushing out. Its massive body retreated repeatedly under the impact of the immense force, eventually being sent flying backwards and crashing heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Yagura Karatachi's screams pierced through the dust. His Tailed Beast-transformed body began to tremble unsteadily, and the crimson Tailed Beast Chakra gradually dimmed, clearly showing he had been severely wounded.
Shine stood in place, the Three-Tails' blood flowing over the Susanoo's armor. He clenched his hands in the air, and two pitch-black longswords appeared out of thin air in the Susanoo's hands—this was the second stage of the Susanoo, the Sword Form!
"Clang—!"
The sharp sound of a longsword being unsheathed cut through the battlefield. The Susanoo held the swords with both hands and suddenly slashed out a pitch-black Sword Qi!
"Rumble—!!"
The moment the Sword Qi hit the ground, the earth split open. A massive fissure dozens of meters long crossed the battlefield, bottomless, and the rocks at the edge of the crack were instantly reduced to powder.
Shine coldly dispelled the Susanoo. The pitch-black Chakra receded into his body like a tide, leaving only the crimson Mangekyo Sharingan spinning in his eye sockets.
He walked slowly to the fallen Yagura and stepped ruthlessly on Yagura's chest—by now, Yagura had been forced to release his Tailed Beast transformation. His face was pale, blood continuously leaked from the corners of his mouth, and his breath was faint.
Shine held a tachi in one hand, the tip of the blade pointing directly at the Hidden Mist camp. His voice, cold as iron, spread across the entire battlefield: "Who else hasn't had enough! Come! All of you, come at once!"
His gaze swept over the terrified Kirigakure Ninjas, and the ocular power of his Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly erupted.
Isobu the Three-Tails inside Yagura's body instantly let out a terrified scream, its voice entering Yagura's mind directly: "Yagura! It's the Mangekyo! That's the ocular power that can suppress Tailed Beasts! Don't look at his eyes! Run! Run away!"
Yagura's whole body stiffened, his eyes full of disbelief.
Since he became the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Isobu had been arrogant and unyielding, but it had never been this terrified!
Just what kind of terrifying power was hidden within this Uchiha brat's Mangekyo?
Within the Konoha camp, everyone froze in place, their eyes filled with shock and awe.
The Tailed Beast-transformed Yagura, who had been as invincible as a demon god just moments ago, had actually been crushed by Shine's Susanoo!
That pitch-black giant, that world-destroying Sword Qi, and that proud figure stepping on the Mizukage's chest were branded into everyone's hearts.
Uchiha Shisui slowly deactivated his Mangekyo, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He was happy for Shine's Awakening of the Mangekyo—this was the glory of the Uchiha and the hope of the Allied Forces.
But as he looked at the temperatureless indifference in Shine's eyes and his arrogant posture while stepping on Yagura, a trace of inexplicable worry rose in his heart.
The once gentle and humble cousin who cared for his companions seemed to have changed unknowingly.
He had become powerful, cold, and like a solitary demon god, inspiring awe and fear.
Memories of past arguments surfaced, and Shisui couldn't help but wonder: what exactly did this power cost him?
The Ninjas of the Hidden Mist camp looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and hesitation.
The Fourth Mizukage had been utterly defeated, and the Three-Tails was terrified. The Uchiha Xia Yin before them was like an invincible demon; who would dare to step forward?
Shine raised his head proudly, his crimson Mangekyo Sharingan sweeping across the field. His voice boomed like thunder: "If anyone else wants to end up like him, step forward and try!"
He paused, applying a little pressure with his foot. Yagura let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"This farce ends here!"
A simple sentence, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.
The Kirigakure Ninjas instinctively retreated; no one dared to take another step forward.
On the battlefield, only Shine's proud figure remained stepping on Yagura, along with his crimson-glowing Mangekyo Sharingan, like a demon god in control of everything, intimidating the entire battlefield.
The scales of victory had completely tipped toward the Konoha Allied Forces the moment the Susanoo descended.
And the name Uchiha Xia Yin would spread to every corner of the Ninja World along with this victory.
Inside the Hokage Building of Konohagakure, in the top-floor office.
Sunlight from outside filtered through the wooden lattice windows and spilled onto the floor, but it couldn't dispel the sudden anxiety permeating the air.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had just put down the encrypted scroll sent back from the front lines, the rough texture of the paper still lingering on his fingertips, when the wooden door of the office was kicked open, slamming against the wall with a loud "bang" and a gust of wind.
Danzo Shimura burst in, the hem of his dark Ninja outfit still swaying. Veins bulged on his face, and his eyes, usually half-squinted, were now wide open and bloodshot.
He slammed the scroll in his hand onto Hiruzen's desk. The scroll unfurled, revealing the text about Uchiha Xia Yin Awakening the Mangekyo and crushing the Three-Tails Jinchuriki with the Susanoo. The ink seemed to be ignited by his fury.
"Hiruzen! This cannot go on!" Danzo's roar made the wooden beams of the ceiling tremble slightly. "That fellow Uchiha Xia Yin! He actually opened the Mangekyo Sharingan! He even awakened the Susanoo! He's been hiding it from us from the very beginning!"
He leaned forward abruptly, pressing his hands onto the desk, his knuckles turning white from the force. His tone was filled with paranoid killing intent: "Isn't it obvious? He has long harbored rebellious intentions!"
He deliberately hid his strength just to wait for this moment, using his own power to intimidate the battlefield and win over people's hearts!
If we let this continue, Konoha will be under his control sooner or later! We must immediately send someone to capture him! No... kill him directly!
