In the air.
Oonoki narrowly dodged the chakra blade and scanned below with a serious expression.
The dark green second form of Susano'o looked imposing.
However, it was different from what the third Tsuchikage had heard in the past.
Ever since Uchiha Madara had scared him so much he nearly wet his pants, Oonoki had been wary of the Sharingan. He had also heard tales of Uchiha Madara's legendary power from the battle at the Valley of the End.
"Susano'o, the name synonymous with destruction. I never expected anyone could use it after Uchiha Madara."
Oonoki's expression darkened, but he felt that the dark green form before him was quite different from what he had imagined.
Nevertheless, both the Uchiha and Konohagakure sides were shocked by the overwhelming, chaotic chakra.
Even the third Hokage, who was like a fierce dog hunting down Iwagakure ninjas, paused, his flashing gaze filled with caution.
In fact, Uchiha Fugaku, who used Susano'o, felt quite helpless.
Even Fugaku, whose intelligence often fluctuated, understood the importance of keeping some things hidden.
He had been saving his Mangekyou for a critical moment, using it as a trump card.
But now he had no chance to keep it hidden.
This was the battle to defend Konohagakure, and everyone knew the consequences if Konohagakure lost. Other ninja villages were already interested in the Byakugan, so wouldn't they also be after the Sharingan?
If he didn't step up now, Uchiha wouldn't fare well after the village was destroyed.
At this point, hiding his power was pointless.
However, even though he had decided to fight, not all of Uchiha's cards were on the table yet.
Looking at the distant Shisui, who was still in his Three Tomoe form, Fugaku controlled Susano'o and felt a sense of relief wash over him.
As long as they weren't showing all their cards, he could accept that!
But Fugaku clearly still didn't understand Shisui, the hot-blooded kid.
When he noticed the Patriarch looking his way, Shisui felt a special connection with the Patriarch!
Especially when Shisui saw Fugaku slightly nod at him, he couldn't hold back any longer.
"The Patriarch is watching me!"
Shisui's face lit up with excitement, and his Three Tomoe began to spin rapidly. As his brand-new Mangekyou replaced the Three Tomoe, a vibrant green second form of Susano'o rose from the ground!
Whoa~
When the two Susano'o stood together, the green and dark green looked like two brothers.
The Konohagakure ninja gasped in surprise, while the Uchiha clan members began to laugh arrogantly.
Even though all the Uchiha had Sharingan, not everyone could awaken it; only the exceptional ones could.
Most clan members might lead ordinary lives and struggle to unlock even a single Tomoe.
That's why there's really no need to distinguish between the main family and the branch family in the Uchiha clan.
Having the Sharingan means being powerful and hard to deal with, while not having it leaves one vulnerable to losing an eye.
If the Sharingan is this valuable, then the Mangekyou is even more so.
Since the Warring States period, only the best Uchiha could unlock the Mangekyou, and their existence was a source of pride for the Uchiha clan!
But...
"Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile?"
While swinging his chakra sword and interrupting Oonoki's Dust Release technique, Fugaku glanced at Shisui, his expression complicated.
"Huh? Didn't the Patriarch want me to give it my all and stop holding back?"
Shisui tilted his head in confusion at Fugaku, then swiftly activated Susano'o's chest armor and unleashed Susano'o's attack on the Iwagakure Village ninja, causing them to scream in panic.
"Forget it, as long as you're happy."
Fugaku sighed deeply, having given up on trying to communicate with Shisui.
A normal person couldn't possibly understand Shisui's way of thinking, but now, with Konohagakure's survival at stake, he couldn't say much.
Anyway, it was already like this; could he really make Shisui hold back?
Since he had already revealed his strength in front of the third Hokage and the rest of Konohagakure, he might as well go all out!
His brother Hitoshi had told him to show his power, making the village think twice before taking action against them.
In the end, Fugaku directed his anger toward Oonoki, pouring more chakra into his eyes as tears of blood flowed down, swinging his dark green twin blades with great force.
On the other hand, Shisui looked at his emerald-green Susano'o and then at the black-green armor of the Patriarch, falling into deep thought.
He initially thought things at the Patriarch's house were already chaotic enough, but it seemed there might be some connection between him and the Patriarch?
Uh, maybe not.
It could be that it was originally black but had to turn green for some reason.
"Look at the Patriarch; his is green and dark. The third power is hinting at the Patriarch—why doesn't he realize it?"
"I actually think Shisui's is brighter green, but Shisui doesn't even have a girlfriend, so it's not like Hitoshi can do anything to him."
"Did you notice that the two Susano'o look like a father and son when they stand together?"
"Don't say such things! Patriarch Fugaku has nothing to do with Kagami; if there is a connection, it would be with Patriarch Fugaku's mother. Cough, cough!"
"Our Uchiha really are a mess."
"True."
Is it like this with my grandfather too?
Shisui had a complicated expression and didn't dare to think too deeply about the matter.
No one could understand Shisui's way of thinking.
But this was a battlefield, and getting distracted here could be deadly.
"Shisui, watch out!"
"Oonoki, you *!" How dare you sneak attack!"
"…"
As shouts echoed around, Shisui turned back in confusion, only to see a conical white light rapidly expanding, getting dangerously close behind him.
Those who underestimated the Tsuchikage in the ninja world would pay the price.
This short old man was the only one who openly and officially controlled the Kekkei Tota, a power that surpassed Kekkei Genkai!
Well, after all, his teacher, the second Tsuchikage, was already dead, and the higher-level bloodline limits were rarely seen by ordinary people.
The Dust Release he controlled could instantly break objects down to their atoms and then trigger an explosion.
Having been harassed by Fugaku, Oonoki was understandably annoyed. So, he turned around and unleashed a powerful Dust Release while moving, trying to test the toughness of Shisui's Susano'o.
Watching the bright green Susano'o get pierced, Oonoki let out a cold laugh.
Dust Release was indeed above the Sharingan! Susano'o couldn't block it!
He wondered if that green kid's Susano'o could compare to Madara's. If Madara were still alive, Oonoki would definitely want to test it out.
Clearly, he was still focused on regaining his pride.
However, that Uchiha kid's eyes also had research value. This Dust Release was ultimately aimed at Shisui's lower body, leaving the eyes as his trophy. He could use them for experiments and maybe gain this so-called Third Power!
While Oonoki was lost in his fantasies, Shisui was in a dire situation!
The Dust Release was right behind him, about to pierce him.
But, because he was distracted, thinking about whether his grandfather betrayed the Patriarch or vice versa, Shisui's reaction was just a moment too slow.
Using Body Flicker Jutsu now seemed too late.
Well, he still hadn't cleared Kakashi's name, and he hadn't found someone suitable to entrust the secret of his eyes to. If he had known, he would have left the eyes for Danzo-sama, but that seemed unwise! Danzo had already proven himself useless, so he wouldn't use the eyes well.
What about Hokage-sama? That wouldn't work either; Hokage-sama seemed a bit lacking in insight, even more so than Danzo.
If there was anyone suitable, it seemed to be Hitoshi, but there didn't appear to be any chance for that now.
What a failure of a life.
Shisui's peripheral vision caught sight of Kakashi running frantically toward him, giving him a slight comfort; at least he'd have someone to visit his grave after he was gone, so it wasn't a total loss.
But Kakashi...
Did you really need to cry so hard that blood came from your eyes?
What are you shouting about?
Huh? What the hell!?
Where did you get that Mangekyou!?
You can't really control the Nine-Tails, can you?
Shisui opened his mouth to speak, but it was the person running over who let out the roar!
"Kamui!" !
