"Mangekyo Sharingan: Inferno-Style: Flame Control Genjutsu"
Mangetsu looked at Sasuke, who was motionless in front of him, and felt a little hesitant but still controlled the sea giant and punched Sasuke continuously. Soon, Mangetsu realized something was wrong!
"What? Is it an illusion? When did this happen? I'm an idiot!"
Mangetsu was shocked but quickly realized the illusion.
"Poseidon's Wrath"
Mangetsu controlled the divine power of the sea, and the huge water attribute chakra boiled in his heart. The illusion was quickly broken! Then, the seawater surged into a huge whirlpool and rushed toward Susanoo's complete form.
Sasuke stood within Susanoo, hands clasped in fists. Although the Poseidon Giant and Susanoo were almost the same in height, Sasuke still looked down at Mangetsu with a condescending attitude. The disdain on his face turned into relief. Sasuke controlled Susanoo and smashed the impact of the swirling water with one hand.
"Damn it! This move was easily countered by Sasuke so casually!" Mangetsu cursed.
Sasuke quickly formed a seal with his other hand.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Countless huge trees sprouted from the soles of Susanoo's feet, growing rapidly and entangling the Poseidon Giant. Mangetsu was startled and quickly manipulated the Poseidon Giant to try to break free. However, how could Sasuke give him a chance to launch an attack? A powerful black thunderbolt shot straight toward the Poseidon Giant.
"Dark Release: Black Thunder Flash!"
"Ah!" Mangetsu screamed, suffering heavy injuries. But he didn't give up. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Sasuke, this is my best effort!" With that, he used up the last bit of strength, and the Poseidon Giant let out a roar. The sea giant's hands actually started to form seals! In the end, a trident that looked extremely sacred was condensed!
"This is "Poseidon's Trident", the power of a god!"
The trident suddenly began to absorb all the seawater and quickly compressed it into a basketball-sized water droplet that flew toward Sasuke's Susanoo at high speed. The extremely compressed basketball exploded! The power of the explosion far exceeded Sasuke's expectations.
At this time, Sasuke's Susanoo had cracks and finally collapsed completely. He knew he couldn't delay any longer. His eyes narrowed, and he decided to use a powerful technique,
"Yin-Yang Release: Brilliant Flame!"
He condensed chakra into dazzling flames, like a volcano erupting toward the Poseidon Giant...
Mangetsu felt confident, looking at the flames and murmuring, "Just a flame? You think you can suppress the sea with flames? Are you dreaming?" Mangetsu burst with confidence, and the trident covered in seawater struck the flames with military precision.
The flames collided with the trident, instantly causing a violent explosion. Between water and fire, a huge shock wave was generated, sweeping everything around it.
Sasuke once again turned on Susanoo to withstand the shock wave, gritting his teeth, and exerted Susanoo's power. He knew very well that with this move, the Poseidon Giant would be severely damaged if not destroyed.
Mangetsu was not to be outdone and tried his best to drive the trident and control the seawater to compete with Sasuke's Susanoo Flame.
In the stalemate, Sasuke's eyes suddenly flashed!
"Amaterasu: Flame Wrapping!"
Countless black fire snakes emerged from the flames, following the trident's seawater upstream and striking Mangetsu. Mangetsu was shocked and it was too late to dodge. The fiery serpents entangled his body, burning fiercely. Mangetsu struggled in pain, but the fire serpents bound him tightly, and the flames continued burning his body. His power gradually weakened, and the Poseidon Giant became unstable.
Sasuke took this opportunity to strengthen the output of the flames. Susanoo's power also exploded with full force. Under this powerful offensive, Mangetsu finally couldn't hold on any longer, screaming and falling, and the Poseidon Giant also disappeared.
"Is that it? Are you giving up?" Mangetsu's weak voice came through.
The surrounding seawater gradually calmed down, and the battlefield was filled with smoke and the scent of burns. Sasuke gasped, looking at the victory in front of him, but he didn't feel much joy.
As the sea giant dissipated, Mangetsu also fell. Sasuke, seeing this, quickly came to Mangetsu and rescued him with a gentle embrace.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke-sama. I couldn't satisfy you..."
"Your strength has far exceeded my expectations. Being able to challenge my Susanoo in its complete form is already very powerful." Sasuke nodded to Mangetsu with satisfaction.
But the scene suddenly shifted!
Mangetsu found that his body was intact, and his chakra was abundant! After observing the surroundings, he confirmed that he was back at the Chunin Examination site.
"Something's wrong, this isn't right!"
A strange laugh echoed, and Mangetsu looked back to find Sasuke!
"This...what exactly is going on? The battle just now?"
"You fell into my illusion from the beginning," Sasuke explained, "This is "Izanami Kai"."
"What?! That illusion in battle? Is it the legendary genjutsu within a genjutsu?!"
"That's right, it's the illusion among illusions! But this is even stronger, the illusion within the illusion within the illusion! What terrifying chakra manipulation! Illusion barrier, Inferno-Style: Flame Control Genjutsu, Izanami Kai, this is the triple illusion technique!"
Mangetsu fell to his knees in confusion and cried bitterly. "Why! Can't I even break Sasuke-sama's genjutsu? I'm so...so..."
In this scene, Mangetsu was almost broken by Sasuke's overwhelming power. It hurt Mangetsu's ambition.
Sasuke stepped forward and touched Mangetsu's head.
"No! I have recognized your strength, and I believe you have also seen your strengths and weaknesses. Isn't that right?"
"Ah?"
"A very flexible Flying Thunder God, a water form with extremely strong defense, and a powerful trident attack. The large-scale Water Release techniques are your shining points. You should also understand your shortcomings."
"Yes! Thank you, Sasuke-sama, for your guidance."
The illusion barrier was lifted!
What everyone outside saw was a normal ninja duel, where Sasuke ultimately won.
"As expected of Sasuke-kun~ He's so handsome!" Sakura and Karin shouted at the same time, then glanced at each other and turned away in disgust.
"I surrender."
"Ahem... Winner, Uchiha... ahem... Sasuke," referee Hayate Gekkou stepped forward and took Sasuke's hand to announce his victory.
"Ahem... Please both of you retire... Next round... ahem..."
"Is it true that he won't cough to death?"
"Well, probably not."
"The next group... cough cough... Kekekekeke, Kekekekeke!!!! Next group... cough cough."
