Clang!
When Sasuke suddenly drew his blade, he slashed directly toward the sky.
As the Kusanagi Sword cut through the air, strange ripples seemed to form in the space around it.
For a moment, the light itself appeared distorted.
Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword moved as if gliding across the surface of water.
The lightning that erupted from the blade wasn't overwhelmingly powerful it was thin, like a thread of silk.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished into the void.
A faint storm instantly erupted from beneath Sasuke's feet.
In a mere moment, it expanded and carved out a massive crater.
Wind!
It was nothing more than a gentle breeze, carrying no visible force, yet it sent a chilling sensation through everyone present.
Despite its seemingly harmless appearance, something about it felt bone-chillingly cold.
And then, in the next second
The sound of the blade tearing through the air erupted like a thunderclap.
Along with that sound, the massive meteor falling from the sky was split in two.
The meteor was cleaved in half.
Instantly, it was divided into two pieces.
In that moment, everyone's jaws dropped in sheer terror as they stared at the sky.
Such a colossal meteor had been sliced in half in an instant.
The sight sent shivers down everyone's spines.
Following the cut, lightning erupted along the meteor's surface, roaring like a dragon as it surged into the heavens.
The lightning rapidly spread, covering the entire meteor in the blink of an eye.
One slash!
Not only had Sasuke severed the Heavenly Obstacle Quake Star, but he had also effectively annihilated it.
As the lightning flickered, the meteor shattered into countless tiny fragments.
These fragments were then ground into dust, completely obliterated.
In that fleeting moment
The entire battlefield fell silent, save for the roaring thunder and howling winds echoing across the sky.
Sasuke slowly sheathed his Kusanagi Sword and raised his head to meet Madara's gaze, which now reflected a mix of shock and admiration.
That single slash had stunned even Madara. He hadn't expected anyone to be capable of such a feat to stop the Heavenly Obstacle Quake Star in such a manner.
Madara had initially wanted to gauge the power of Sasuke's Rinnegan.
But before he could witness the full extent of the Rinnegan's abilities, he had been shown something even more terrifying Sasuke's unparalleled swordsmanship.
Such a fearsome blade technique was something Madara doubted anyone else in the shinobi world could replicate.
As this thought crossed his mind, Madara lowered his gaze to Sasuke.
Truly, an exceptional descendant of the Uchiha clan!
Even Madara himself, the legendary Uchiha Madara, couldn't have accomplished such a feat.
This was... simply unbelievable.
"What a terrifying slash!"
"What kind of power is this? Even a meteor was destroyed in an instant!"
"Has this guy been holding back all this time?"
The murmurs of the shinobi echoed across the battlefield.
Every single one of them was shaken to their core by Sasuke's display of power.
Even their souls seemed to tremble in fear of him.
Such a person was truly fearsome.
Madara looked at Sasuke and said, "As expected of an Uchiha. Your power is indeed remarkable."
Sasuke smirked.
This level of power? It was nothing special.
But then Madara chuckled. "A single slash to cut through a meteor, and even reduce its fragments to nothingness. Your power is unprecedented in the history of the shinobi world. You truly have the qualifications to challenge a god."
As he spoke, Madara's expression returned to its usual calm, yet with a hint of unruly arrogance.
It was as if he could look down on everything.
However, in the next moment, Madara continued, "You destroyed the first one. But what about the second?"
These words sent a wave of panic through the shinobi at the edge of the crater.
Instinctively, they looked up.
A second meteor was slowly descending, and it was even more terrifying than the first.
The shinobi were stunned.
Even the Five Kage paled at the sight.
Tsunade: "Uchiha... Madara..."
The Fourth Raikage: "Is this guy... a god?"
The Third Tsuchikage: "One wasn't enough? Now there's a second?"
Mei Terumī: "This meteor is..."
Sasuke had managed to stop the first one, but could he really stop the second?
In such a short span of time, performing such a devastating slash twice in a row seemed impossible, even for Sasuke.
And indeed, it was.
To use the Thunderclap Flash, Seventh Form: Fire Thunder God twice in succession would be beyond even Sasuke's capabilities.
The strain on his body from Sage Mode and the explosive release of chakra was immense.
Under these conditions, it was simply impossible to perform such a feat again.
But as the second Heavenly Obstacle Quake Star descended, Sasuke didn't retreat.
He would charge forward once more.
Now, to destroy the second meteor, conventional methods wouldn't work.
So, there was only one option...
Sasuke raised his head, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning rapidly.
At the same time, his Rinnegan began to whirl with equal intensity.
His ocular power surged to its peak.
"Susanoo!"
In an instant, the complete form of Susanoo materialized, spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, heading straight for the second meteor.
Madara was momentarily taken aback.
"Not bad! To summon the complete Susanoo so quickly and with such fluidity... Your ocular power is impressive!"
The purple Susanoo in the sky swung its massive blade, striking the meteor head-on.
This time, Sasuke unleashed his Sage chakra.
Black patterns, resembling Amaterasu flames, appeared on the surface of the Susanoo.
Sage Mode Susanoo activated, and Sasuke immediately used Kagutsuchi, igniting the blade with black flames.
One slash!
The meteor was split in two at a visible speed.
However, the power of this slash wasn't enough to completely destroy the meteor.
So, Sasuke needed an additional measure.
He activated both Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi simultaneously, unleashing their full power.
In an instant, the black flames spread rapidly across the meteor, burning it fiercely under Kagutsuchi's control.
As the meteor continued to fall, now split into two, Sasuke delivered another slash.
The two pieces became four.
Then, the four became sixteen.
Once the meteor was reduced to this size, the Amaterasu flames were able to completely incinerate it before it could hit the ground.
Sasuke's Susanoo landed steadily with a thunderous crash.
He turned his gaze toward Madara in the distance.
Sixteen small black fireballs slowly descended behind Sasuke, amplifying his aura to an intimidating level.
Even Madara felt the overwhelming pressure emanating from Sasuke.
It had been a long time since Madara had felt such pressure.
Not even Hashirama had been able to evoke this kind of reaction from him.
But today, Sasuke had managed to make Uchiha Madara feel genuine pressure.
It had been a long time since he had felt this way.
Madara... was starting to get excited!
