I had put the creation of a chakra avatar construct on my schedule but due to not being in urgent need of it, I never really got to creating it.

Seeing Ashura's wooden fighting Buddha, and Indra's Three head six arm Susanno, I knew there was no way to fight them on equal ground, after all, I'm not as strong as Ishiki who could kick Sasuke out of his Susanno with pure physical strength.

As I floated in front of their gigantic construct my mind went into overdrive to think of a solution the options open to me were many but only would be chakra-consuming.

Don't get me wrong, with my Rikugan, I could minimize the waste of chakra but I still didn't think that would be a good option. 8 could create a golem similar to Momoshiki with earth and larva coated with steel or even hardened crystal, but this will detrimental to my mental prowess.

The only option left was making use of Transformation Jutsu to gigantify myself similar to the Titans from Shinjeki nō Kyojin. I just had to have a good image of myself and then titanify myself if that is a word.

With that in mind, I immediately put it into action, and lo and behold, I was standing at the same height as Indra's Susanno and Ashura's Buddha.

A sense of accomplishment hit me which made me smile and coupled with my already boiling blood, the smile made me look like a fighting maniac, not that I cared or something. I then used my chakra t form a chakra sword construct similar to the one Indra's Susanno was holding but instead of blue, it was golden.

Must be because of my chakra. I noticed that my blindfold fell off during my transformation so my Rikugan was exposed in its full glory. Time to test it out in a real battle.

With the preparations done, I looked at both Indra and Ashura and noticed their shocked faces, and said, "Let's dance"

Normal POV

Shun lunged at Indra with speed unbecoming of something of that height and swung his sword at his Susanno with his full might. Indra's eyes widened in shock at the absurdness of the situation but remained calm as he responded in kind due to his EMS.

As the swords clashed, it sent out a shockwave that affected the ground and sky. The ground was split while the clouds in the sky dispersed.

In the confrontation, neither Shun nor Indra was pushed back, though, at that moment, Indra swung his other sword at Shun while he punched with another hand towards Shun's stomach from what he thought would be his blindspot. Shun, however, noticed these actions with his Eyes.

This was the first time Shun was using his eyes in a real battle, and In that instant, his eye's first ability, divine reflection, played its role and Shun immediately found a weak point to exploit.

With his free hand, Shun created another sword and swiped it in one quick motion at the shoulder of the hand swinging at him and cutting it off, while using his Steel Release to harden his stomach region.

With that exchange, they both jumped back in surprise though for different reasons.

Shun's surprise came from the fact that he thought Susanno was near indestructible and can only be destroyed with overwhelming physical strength. He didn't expect that his quick swing which should have redirected Indra's sword would cut the entire arm off.

Indra though was much more surprised at the entire chain of events, first was Shun, whom he thought would not be his opponent with his Susanno, who came suddenly and became a humanoid giant standing at the same height as him, secondly was the speed and power of Shun, thirdly was his Susanno which he thought he made more powerful with the continuous battle with Ashura over the years suddenly being cut like butter and last was his sneak attack which he thought was well timed not having any effect.

Although his Sharingan gave him an improved thought process and thought acceleration, he could come up with an explanation for how this was possible.

Shun, on the other hand, smiled mischievously and created another two arms from his side, below his two other hands, and created swords which he held in each hand. Although the swords were constantly consuming his chakra, he didn't mind as it was being controlled.

With this done, he said, "Here I come Indra" and lunged at Indra again.

Indra composed himself and with a surge of chakra, he created four other arms and ran toward Shun without the slightest bit of fear but with faint excitement and a smile at the corner of his lips.

They both clashed and swung their swords at each other, neither of them was aiming to dodge and put their respective eyes to good use together with their wits

The swords clashed repeatedly and although Shun was two swords short, he managed to hold on with the help of his Rikugan. The Rikugan gives him the ability of the Sharingan and more, anything Indra could see, Shun could as well, but the difference was the reaction time.

The clash went on for minutes before they separated. Indra's Susanno had numerous cracks and missing spaces while Shun's body was bleeding from different areas but neither of them seem to care as they both laughed loudly, Shun said, "Good, good. You do know how to dance Indra"

"Same to you Shun" Indra replied with an excited and almost crazed smile.

Shun then turned to the side and looked at Ashura who was still stunned at the turn of events and was looking at them with shock.

Shun frowned and said, "What's wrong Ashura, this dance was meant for three of us. I don't care whether you hit me or hit Indra but you are meant to participate in this dance"

"But why fight in the first place?" Ashura asked sounding a bit wronged.

"We aren't fighting, this is a dance, know the difference. Well, if you don't want to participate, I just have to force you" Shun said and with a surge of chakra, he said, "Domain Expansion"

Immediately, both Indra and Ashura felt a wave of chakra pass through them and although they weren't affected, they noticed the change in the environment.

What Shun used was a mixture of all his domain abilities. Although he couldn't use them together in the past, with the upgrade in chakra, body, and soul, he coupled now use all of them at the same time in a domain.

This domain was akin to reality manipulation.

Stumping his feet on the ground, the ground split and went towards Ashura's Buddha and spread open beneath his feet and turned the earth around him, into Lava, plunging it into the Lava.

Ashura was momentarily shocked before he hurriedly clapped his hands making the buddha do the same and creating a wooden foothold beneath him with the help of the Budha, reducing its size significantly.

His buddha was now almost half the size of Shun and the Susanno.

Looking up, Ashura screamed angrily, "What's the meaning of this, Shun? I said I wasn't fighting or dancing, whatever you call it, do you want to kill me?"

Shaking his head, Shun said, "If you couldn't handle this much then I would be disappointed. You survived though, which means you can still dance" Looking toward Indra, he asked, "Don't you think so?"

Indra nodded his head with a "Hn"

"Good, then let's continue," Shun said. Raising his hands toward both Indra and Ashura, he said, "Banshö Teinin"

Indra and Ashura suddenly felt a gravitational pull acting on them and tried to stop themselves from being pulled but it was all for naught as their feets left the ground and flew toward Shun.

Indra and Ashura recomposed themselves in the air and attacked Shun with swords from Indra and numerous wooden fists from Ashura. Upon reaching him, Shun said, "Shinra Tensei" and a greater gravitational force acted on their body pushing them away.

Shun felt nearly half of his chakra depleted with this technique. Although this was his domain, using multiple and complex techniques like this one still depleted his chakra greatly.

"It wasn't like this previously, is it because it's acting on larger bodies?" Shun thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Indra and Ashura both had miserable appearances as Ashura's wooden construct were all destroyed while Indra's Susanno was destroyed in multiple places. Though none of them was seriously injured.

Indra deactivated his Susanno due to chakra depletion but his EMS was still activated albeit bleeding.

It had to be known that he was already fighting Ashura before Shun came, and defending against Shun's previous attack sucked him dry.

Shun snapped out of his thought and looked at them both and although he knew he was stronger, he felt that it wasn't a proper battle as Indra and Ashura's chakra was already drained, returning to his normal size, he said, "Well, round two is over, next is round three, hope you both don't shy out of this one"

"What? What round two, I thought this was the first round?" Ashura said.

"What do you mean by first round? Weren't you and Indra dancing when I got here? That was round one, our previous exchange is round two and this, is round three" Shun said and held up his hands again towards them and said, "Banshö Teinin"

Indra and Ashura stiffened when they saw Shun raise his hands and although they didn't know what the technique was, they didn't want the repeat of the last time.

Ashura used his Wood Release and formed hands to hold him down to the ground. Indra however let himself get pulled.

Shun noticed that the Idra in front of him was merely a clone while the original Indra was nowhere to be seen. He was amazed at how Indra had to be to pull that off without his 360 high-resolution view noticing. He wasn't bothered as this was his domain and although he couldn't see, he could still 'see' him.

As the clone neared him, he didn't repel the clone but instead kicked the ground softly and used multiple earth spikes to skewer the clone or so he was prepared to do.

The clone however created a skeleton Susanoo and used one hand to slam Shun. The earth spikes were broken upon contact with the Susanno while Shun hurriedly teleported out of the attack range.

"Wow, you almost got me there Indra," Shun said as he looked toward a space. The space blurred and revealed Indra who was mildly surprised at the results

He honestly thought he got Shun, he didn't expect Shun to have such movement speed. 'Is it body flicker? No, I would have seen him move with my Sharingan, what was that?' he thought.

"From the look on your face, you might be wondering how I escaped that, right? It's simple, I'm faster than your eyes can see and follow" Shun said, and immediately, he was behind Indra and said, "Just like this"

Indra's eyes widened in shock and terror hearing the voice behind him and immediately flickered away from the spot and appeared beside Ashura who was also shocked at Shun's speed.

"Although I know it's stupid to tell you my dance moves when we're still dancing, I will tell you," Shun said and gestured around him before saying, "This, is my domain. You must have heard me say, Domain Expansion, right? This area as far as your eyes can see is my domain"

"And guess, what? In my domain, I am God. Though if you muster up a huge enough amount of chakra, you might be able to break out. Keyword being Might" He continued.

"Would you like to give it a try?" He asked while smiling.'This is merely a psychological attack, if either Indra or Ashura make use of their excessive spiritual energy, this would be child play for them, guess ill teach them the principles later on' he thought.

Indra and Ashura both wore pensive kooks as they looked around. Ashua with his sage mode and Indra with his EMS. Shun gave them the time to observe the domain, internally hoping they would learn something from it.

Indra looked at me and said, "This is an external use of Yin release isn't it?"

"Ding ding, you got the answer, unfortunately there will be no reward for it," Shun said with a giggle.

"As expected from you, you were always coming up with the greatest ideas, although I was the genius, you were even more so," Indra said praising himself and Shun at the same time.

Shun smiled shyly at the praise because he knew he wasn't any genius, he was just stealing ideas from other animes and manga.

Ashura took this opportunity to interrupt as he screamed, "Ahh! I got it. I know how to break out of this weird place."

"Oh? Do tell" Shun asked, genuinely curious.

"It's simple, Just create my own" Ashura said with a proud smile.

"What?" Shun shouted in shock at this.

Although he said it like that, he didn't expect Ashura to be the one to get the answer, Indra might have had an answer but for Ashura to come to an answer was shocking in its own way.

True, to break out of this place, you had to follow either of two processes, one, have an overwhelming amount of chakra to shatter the space, similar to how you shatter an illusion, and two, create your domain, whether small or large, as far as you can isolate yourself from my domain, you literally are exempted from my domain abilities.

Although I could attack your domain as it is inside my domain, if Ashura could figure this out, he could also figure out a way to make his domain clash with mine, similar to how it works in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Of both Indra and Ashura, Ashura inherited more spiritual energy from Hagoromo while Indra inherited his chakra, so if anyone has the potential to do this, it's Ashura.

"Can you tell me how you came to that conclusion, Ashura?" Shun asked curiously.

"Oh, Ok, it's like this, I..."
