"Sage Mode, huh..."
Feeling the sinister and provocative gaze of Yu, Shisui's previously calm face erupted with intense fighting spirit. The spiral-shaped spear in the hand of his green Susanoo spun continuously. "Looks like I can finally have a real fight with you..."
Although they had fought a total of three times since the Academy graduation test, and he had always been slightly inferior, Shisui knew that Yu had always held back each time, hiding unknown techniques and trump cards. So this time—he was determined to make Yu show his true strength!
"Are you ready..."
His white hair flared upwards like flames. Facing the fighting spirit in Shisui's eyes inside the Susanoo, Yu's handsome yet sinister appearance, combined with Sage Mode and Armament Haki's full-body blackening, seemed almost inhuman.
Moreover, after entering Sage Mode, his previously pale complexion had completely recovered. With a slight smirk and a light step, he instantly disappeared from where he stood!
"Dragon Wings!!"
Accompanied by a soft shout, when Shisui heard this sound and the Mangekyo Sharingan once again captured Yu's figure, Yu's mysterious black silhouette had already appeared beside him.
Yu, spinning mid-air, utilized his body's power to launch a Taijutsu attack with the force of a dragon spreading its wings. The surrounding air was compressed by his strike and violently expelled, forming a fierce gale shaped like the wings of a dragon.
Boom!!
A resounding noise, like a great bell, formed a tangible sound wave. The massive green Susanoo covering Shisui was actually blasted off the ground by Yu's strike, crashing to the side. The terrifying gale force directly tore through the nearby grassland.
The speed was simply too fast!!
Protected inside the green Susanoo, Shisui was greatly shocked and had difficulty regaining his balance.
The speed and strength Yu displayed after simultaneously activating Sage Mode and the second stage of Armament Haki were entirely different compared to their previous encounters in the Genjutsu space, having increased by at least tenfold.
"Truly the most cost-effective technique in the Naruto world..."
"It seems Susanoo's defense is indeed astonishing..."
Yu's full-force Dragon Wings attack had knocked the entire Susanoo off the ground, but Yu noticed that Shisui's Susanoo hadn't shattered, and Shisui inside it appeared unscathed. His eyes narrowed slightly.
Sky Path!!
With a quick shift in thought, Yu, moving like a phantom, stepped on the tethering cloud thread beside him and instantly disappeared into the air again.
When Yu's figure reappeared in the view of Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, he was already stepping in midair above Susanoo, with a spear of pure, destructive lightning plasma instantly formed in his hand!
Sage Art: Storm Release Hard Vortex Water Blade!!
Entering Sage Mode amplified more than just Yu's physical strength; it also exponentially increased the power of his Ninjutsu to an unimaginably terrifying level.
"That technique is..."
Seeing the Sage Art: Storm Release Hard Vortex Water Blade in Yu's hand, radiating endless destructive light above him, Shisui's pupils contracted. Even by Ninja instincts alone, he could sense the terrifying power contained within.
Facing Yu's furious and torrential assault, Shisui gritted his teeth and swung the Spiral Sword in Susanoo's hand, which was emitting green Chakra flames, directly thrusting it towards the descending lightning spear from Yu!
Boom!!
When the two destructive forces collided, the resulting explosion made the night sky above the grassland as bright as day, and a massive gust of wind swept through the surrounding forest, obscuring everything from view.
"Such commotion..."
"Is this really a ninja battle...?"
Hearing the earth-shaking sounds in the distance and feeling the violent gusts of wind blowing from the wilderness to their faces, the ninjas watching the battle from the nearby town were left with nothing but expressions of shock.
As the blinding light faded, they saw Yu standing unharmed on the grassland. Shisui's Susanoo had lost its Spiral Sword and arm, both having vanished. A massive crater lay between them.
"This is the power of Senjutsu?!"
Seeing the green Chakra flames on his Susanoo surge and his arm slowly regenerating, Shisui couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying power of Yu's Senjutsu. "Damn, he's so fast... Even with Susanoo, I'm still so passive..."
"From the looks of it..."
"Your Susanoo may be both offensive and defensive, but it's not invincible..."
Watching Shisui's Susanoo gradually recover, Yu smirked, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light. With Shisui's potential, if he had the chance to evolve Susanoo to its complete form, just how strong would he become?
Thinking of this, Yu's mind inadvertently conjured the image of Uchiha Madara's complete Susanoo from the anime, with its overwhelming power capable of flattening entire mountains with a single slash.
"There's an opening!!"
Noticing Yu seemingly distracted, the battle-hardened Shisui immediately seized the fleeting opportunity. His Mangekyo Sharingan's powerful ocular energy surged wildly as the massive green Susanoo opened the armor on its chest, revealing an orange Tomoe inside.
"What is that?!"
Seeing Shisui's Susanoo's action, Yu snapped back to attention, his gaze sharpening.
"Susanoo: Tsukumo!!"
In the next instant, the grassland under the moonlit night was bathed in a mysterious green glow. Shisui's Susanoo, with its chest opened, suddenly unleashed countless green Chakra arrows. Each arrow cut through the air with unparalleled power, swiftly hurtling toward Yu!
"Such a move?!"
Caught off guard by the unexpected and extraordinary ability of Shisui's Susanoo, Yu was momentarily stunned. In that brief moment, he was instantly engulfed by the countless incoming Susanoo arrows, their terrifying power obliterating both him and the entire ground beneath him into dust!
"Did I hit him...?"
Even after the countless arrows from Susanoo accurately struck Yu, Shisui's face remained serious. He knew that with Yu's strength, it was impossible for him to be defeated so easily.
"Ice Explosion: Pheasant Beak!!"
Sure enough, just as Shisui finished speaking, a gigantic, dazzling ice bird suddenly burst out from the gradually dispersing dust and mist in front of him, instantly freezing the ground beneath it into a vast expanse of ice.
Bang... Boom!!
Reacting in time, Shisui swung the Spiral Sword in Susanoo's hand, clashing with the massive ice bird, scattering ice shards everywhere. Although he shattered the ice bird, the intense explosion still forced his Susanoo back two steps.
"What is this?!"
Blocking Yu's sudden powerful attack, Shisui instinctively glanced in Yu's direction with his Mangekyo Sharingan. He saw a gigantic, transparent, arc-shaped barrier that had deflected all the Susanoo arrows he had just unleashed.
Michael, Toshogun, and Tyrant, the three major Devil Puppets, had been summoned by Yu from Kaio's alternate dimension. They stood in a perfect formation, silently guarding Yu and ready to strike at any moment.
