Hanzō looked at Shin, then summoned his salamander.
The salamander immediately burrowed underground. It could launch surprise attacks from below.
But it wasn’t a threat to Shin. Even Tailed Beasts couldn’t harm him, let alone a salamander.
“Hanzō, Compared to the others, you’re weak.”
Shin said.
He didn’t sense much power from Hanzō. Compared to Ōnoki and the Third Raikage, Hanzō was weaker.
“Kenjutsu: Iai Slash!”
Enraged by Shin’s words, Hanzō used the Body Flicker Jutsu to appear behind Shin, his sickle slashing downwards.
The sickle moved so fast that it left afterimages.
And it was coated in poison. Anyone cut by it would die.
Half of Hanzō’s strength came from his poison. But his poison was useless against Shin.
Shin had already disappeared by the time Hanzō’s sickle reached him.
“Stay down.”
Shin appeared behind Hanzō, his Kusanagi sword flashing.
Hanzō sensed the danger but couldn’t react in time. He was struck down.
“You three stay here.”
Shin sheathed his sword and left, heading towards the four Kage who were attacking the Konoha forces.
“Why didn’t he kill us?”
The Third Kazekage asked, struggling to his feet.
He was the least injured of the four. Although pierced by the Kusanagi sword, he had dodged at the last moment.
“Do you want to die?” the Third Raikage asked flatly.
They didn’t know why Shin had spared them, but they weren’t complaining.
…
“Susanoo!”
Shin activated his Perfect Susanoo. Even in the darkness, the Suna Shinobi could see the massive Chakra warrior.
It was a full moon, and the moonlight illuminated the towering Susanoo. Not just the nearby Suna Shinobi, but the Konoha, Kumo, Iwa, and Ame Shinobi could all see it.
“It seems Uzumaki Shin has arrived.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the Susanoo, reminded of Uchiha Madara.
He had grown up hearing legends of Madara Uchiha and had even witnessed Madara’s Susanoo. This Susanoo was just as imposing.
‘Does Uzumaki Shin have the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?‘ Hiruzen wondered.
He knew about the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Uchiha Kagami had told him.
Kagami had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and learned many secrets of the Uchiha Clan from the stone tablet. He had shared those secrets with Hiruzen.
…
The Susanoo swung its sword, and the earth shook.
The ground split open, and countless Shinobi were sent flying.
Many were killed instantly.
Before they could recover, the Susanoo attacked again, inflicting even more casualties on Suna.
Shin, standing within the Susanoo’s head, looked down at the Suna Shinobi without any sympathy.
There was no right or wrong in war. He wouldn’t show mercy to his enemies.
“Yomotsu Hirasaka.”
Shin opened a portal, and Sakumo Hatake stumbled out.
Sakumo had been rushing towards the battlefield when a black void suddenly appeared before him. He had no time to stop and fell through it.
He relaxed when he saw Shin.
“Sakumo-san, tell the Konoha Shinobi to retreat. In ten minutes, I’m starting a massacre. I won’t be differentiating between friend and foe.”
Shin said.
He had brought Sakumo here to relay the message.
If Shin attacked now, he might accidentally kill his own allies.
Shin opened another Yomotsu Hirasaka portal.
“Go through this, and you’ll reach the Sandaime Hokage,” Shin said.
“Alright.”
Sakumo nodded and stepped through the portal.
A black void appeared beside Hiruzen, startling him. He raised his staff, ready to attack.
Clang!
Sakumo was sent flying. Thankfully, the portal had closed, or he would have been sent back.
“Hokage-sama, it’s me!”
Sakumo yelled to prevent Hiruzen from attacking again. If he hadn’t blocked with his sword, he would have been seriously injured.
Hiruzen might look frail, but he was strong.
“Sakumo? What are you doing here?” Hiruzen asked.
“Uzumaki Shin used Space-Time Ninjutsu to bring me here. But that’s not important right now. He wants us to retreat immediately.”
Sakumo said.
“Retreat?”
“Yes. He said he’s going to launch an indiscriminate attack.”
Hiruzen looked at the Susanoo in the distance. It could indeed harm their own forces.
“Alright, relay the order. All Konoha Shinobi, retreat!”
The Shinobi quickly gathered and retreated, breaking through the Suna lines.
Shin had already weakened Suna with his Susanoo. There was no resistance.
They even took the opportunity to kill some of the fleeing Suna Shinobi.
