The Six-Armed Susanoo formed hand seals, and with Uchiha Sougetsu, it was like having eight arms.
In an instant, the chakra that had been building up within burst forth like countless violent volcanoes, erupting with overwhelming force.
The armor covering Susanoo seemed unable to withstand this explosive power and shattered into pieces.
As the armor was stripped away layer by layer, what appeared before everyone was a colossal figure standing between sky and earth.
It radiated a golden light, had eight arms forming seals, and wore an angry expression that was both majestic and fearsome—the statue of the God of Light!
The whole process felt like shedding mortal flesh and ascending to divinity.
"This chakra..."
The soul-level pressure was so intense that even the Eight-Tails couldn't help but change expression.
In a daze, it felt as if the person before it resembled the man who had fought alongside the First Hokage decades ago and was known as the 'Asura of the Ninja World.'
"This feeling is bad. We need to stop this guy quickly!" Even Killer B, who was in a mental space, sensed the unusual pressure from the outside and nervously shouted, "Hurry up, you idiot! Use your ultimate technique to blow him up!"
"I know that without you telling me!"
The Eight-Tails lowered its center of gravity, ready for the upcoming battle.
The world fell silent for a moment.
Mountains and earth trembled, and the clouds swirled above like a vortex.
The storm transformed into massive wind dragons, seemingly alive, flowing down from the sky, as if guided by an invisible force, creating turbulent winds around them.
"Can he really manipulate the forces of nature directly?" The Eight-Tails, having seen much in its time, recognized the core of the technique, which required specific stormy weather. Even so, it was deeply shaken: "This kid isn't even a 'Sage' yet. What a terrifying talent!"
Given time, it was almost certain that a new 'Asura' would emerge from Konoha, one who could dominate the entire Ninja World.
But the current situation left no room for such thoughts!
"You dare use such a slow ninjutsu in front of me? You're asking for death!" Realizing how troublesome this was, the Eight-Tails didn't intend to wait for the opponent's ninjutsu to finish.
It wasn't human and didn't have any strange sense of 'competition.' It opened its mouth and fired a Tailed Beast Bomb.
The crimson Tailed Beast Bomb was half the size of previous ones but still possessed immense destructive power.
It shot through the air like a fire-red meteor, creating cracks in the void.
In an instant, the Tailed Beast Bomb collided with Susanoo.
Boom!!!
The earth shook violently, and the shockwave rolled like a tsunami, expanding in layers.
But when the dust settled, the divine-looking Susanoo stood firm, seemingly completely unharmed except for the smoke swirling around it.
The hearts of Konoha's people, which had been in their throats, slowly eased.
"Hey, that was pathetic! Your move didn't even work!" Killer B was frantically criticizing in the mental space.
"Shut up, you useless brat!" The Eight-Tails felt somewhat helpless, as if a fly was buzzing in its head, making it increasingly annoyed.
"That thing is called 'Susanoo,' the ultimate secret technique of the Mangekyo Sharingan. If it could be so easily broken, it wouldn't be worthy of being called the strongest ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan."
"Then stop stalling, you idiot!"
Eight-Tails could no longer listen to Killer B and completely ignored him.
"I want to see how many Tailed Beast Bombs your Susanoo can withstand!"
The Eight-Tails was determined. Lowering its stance, it opened its mouth, releasing Tailed Beast Bombs like a rapid-fire cannon: "Watch me smash your shell!"
In an instant, the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Bombs created a brilliant line of destruction in the night sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The densely packed explosions shook the air, tearing it apart and creating cracks everywhere.
The massive shockwaves, accompanied by deafening roars, generated countless overlapping airwaves. It surged like a catastrophic tsunami, continuously rippling and spreading out, erasing the ruins of villages in its path.
Great mushroom clouds rose like abyssal dragons into the sky, the shockwaves shooting up high.
"Oh no, that Eight-Tails is sneak-attacking Lord Sogetsu!"
"How despicable! To attack from behind!"
"Don't, you must hold on, Lord Sogetsu!"
"Please, please, you must endure!"
"Lord Sogetsu—!"
"Sogetsu!"
Watching the Eight-Tails' furious assault, the relief the Leaf Village had just felt was suddenly replaced by panic.
The Tailed Beast Bomb, capable of deciding the outcome of a war, was effortlessly thrown by the Eight-Tails like seeds, while Uchiha Sogetsu endured the storm of attacks like a torrential rain. Everyone was worried—could he hold on?
The Tailed Beast Bombs lasted a full thirty seconds, erasing a third of the Leaf Village from the map.
The intense flames lit up half the night, with raging fire and storms wreaking havoc. The ground was scorched red, and lava flowed slowly on the surface.
"Huff... huff."
Even the nearly limitless chakra of the Eight-Tails was exhausted after continuously using the Tailed Beast Bombs.
Panting heavily, the Eight-Tails stared at the smoke and dust, thinking, "You messed up; you should be dead now!"
However, as the dust began to settle, the golden giant stood tall, despite being covered in massive cracks and missing chunks. It remained upright like a deity in the hearts of the Leaf Village people, not defeated by the terrifying attack.
"It's still... alive?!"
The Eight-Tails sensed something was off.
This guy's Susanoo isn't even in its complete form, but isn't it a bit too tough?
"Is it over?"
Uchiha Sogetsu maintained his hand signs, expressionless, and replied lightly, "Just in time, I'm about to finish up here too."
Hachibi's forehead was marked by throbbing veins, seemingly enraged. He roared, "Arrogant little Uchiha! Don't think just because you have Susanoo, you can block the Tailed Beast Bomb. That was just a warm-up; now it's time to get serious. Prepare yourself!"
As he said this, the Tailed Beast's immense chakra burst forth like a raging flood.
"Watch closely!"
Hachibi controlled the size while teaching his Jinchuriki a lesson: "This is the real—Tailed Beast Bomb!"
As he spoke, a massive Tailed Beast Bomb, with a diameter of dozens of meters, formed, resembling a meteorite and glowing deep red.
Its terrifyingly high density and gravity shattered the space around it upon appearing.
It was easy to imagine that if it hit, it wouldn't just be Uchiha Sogetsu disappearing, but the entire Konoha village!
At this moment, the Konoha villagers in the shelters could no longer sit still.
They rushed out, their eyes full of hope, cheering for the giant standing in the village.
"Lord Sogetsu!"
"Don't lose!"
"Go for it, big brother!"
At this moment, the hopes of thousands seemed to converge into one force.
Uchiha Sogetsu couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. If only he could completely digest the potion, it would be great, but unfortunately, he was still a little short.
