Shin looked at Ryota with cold eyes. Ryota was enraged. Did this brat really think he had him cornered?
“Susanoo!”
Ryota roared, activating his Mangekyō Sharingan’s ultimate ability.
Having lost an arm, he had no choice but to use Susanoo.
He gritted his teeth as pain surged through his body. This was the side effect of overusing the Mangekyō Sharingan. Not only did his eyes bleed, but his entire body ached.
The Susanoo was powerful, but using it with the Mangekyō Sharingan came at a steep price.
Itachi Uchiha’s illness was partly due to his overuse of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan could use the Susanoo without any side effects, but using it with the regular Mangekyō Sharingan was like burning away one’s lifespan.
The Susanoo was a life-consuming Jutsu. It devoured not only the enemy’s life force but also the user’s. Unless you had the Sage Body, that is.
The Sage Body was truly versatile. With a strong body, you could do anything.
The Sharingan’s abilities might seem impressive, but they were ultimately inferior to the Sage Body.
Indra Ōtsutsuki couldn’t defeat Asura Ōtsutsuki. Madara Uchiha couldn’t defeat Hashirama Senju. Sasuke Uchiha couldn’t defeat Naruto Uzumaki.
Ryota didn’t have the Sage Body, not even an ordinary one. He was paying the price with his life force.
A skeletal, armored warrior materialized, reaching a height of almost fifty meters.
“That Susanoo is pathetic. Let me show you what a real Susanoo looks like.”
Shin looked at the incomplete Susanoo, then activated his own. He didn’t need the Perfect Susanoo to defeat Ryota, but he wanted to test its power.
The Susanoo had a lot of potential. The Perfect Susanoo wasn’t even its final form. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki’s Susanoo was comparable in size to the Ten-Tails.
Shin’s black Susanoo towered over a hundred meters tall. Shin stood within the black crystal on its forehead.
He wasn’t alone. Kushina and Mikoto were also there.
“That Susanoo was already impressive, but compared to yours, it’s like a child.”
Kushina said, staring at Ryota’s Susanoo, which barely reached Shin’s Susanoo’s waist.
“That’s an incomplete Susanoo. I told you, the Mangekyō Sharingan can’t manifest the true Susanoo.”
Shin grinned. He wondered what Ryota was thinking now.
“I bet he’s feeling despair,” Mikoto said.
“Probably. I would be,” Kushina agreed.
Ryota’s small Susanoo was no match for Shin’s. They weren’t even on the same level.
Ryota was indeed feeling despair. He hadn’t expected the Susanoo to be capable of reaching such a size. He had thought his own Susanoo was already at its limit.
Shin’s Susanoo drew a sword from its back. The Perfect Susanoo had wings and could fly.
“Let’s test the power of the Perfect Susanoo.”
Shin locked onto Ryota and swung his sword.
The blade was longer than Ryota’s Susanoo. The air rippled from the force of the attack.
Ryota’s Susanoo drew two curved swords, trying to block Shin’s attack.
“Don’t overestimate yourself. The Perfect Susanoo isn’t just about size.”
Shin felt Ryota was being naive. He clearly didn’t understand the true power of the Perfect Susanoo.
Shin’s sword sliced through Ryota’s swords like butter, then cleaved through Ryota’s Susanoo.
There was no resistance. Ryota’s Susanoo was split in two. The shockwave rippled outwards, splitting the forest.
(Basically—Madara’s iconic scene where he unleashed his Perfect Susanoo against the Five Kage and obliterated mountains)
…
Kushina and Mikoto stared at the destruction in awe. Was this the power of the Perfect Susanoo?
Shin wasn’t surprised. The Susanoo was incredibly powerful, and he hadn’t even used his full strength.
“Is Uchiha Ryota dead?” Mikoto asked, looking at the massive chasm Shin had created.
“No, he’s still alive,” Shin said.
“He’s still alive? After that attack?” Kushina was surprised. Was Ryota that strong?
“No, I let him live. I missed on purpose.”
Shin had deliberately aimed off-center, sparing Ryota’s life.
But he had still almost killed Ryota. If Ryota hadn’t reacted quickly, he would be dead.
Shin wasn’t sparing Ryota out of kindness. He wanted Ryota’s Mangekyō Sharingan.
He deactivated his Susanoo, then used Yomotsu Hirasaka to teleport in front of the fleeing Ryota.
“Trying to run away? That’s not very polite,” Shin said calmly.
“What do you want?” Ryota asked, his eyes filled with blood and tears.
He had just used the Susanoo; his vision was blurry. He could barely see Shin.
His body ached from the strain of using the Susanoo, and his Chakra was almost depleted.
Although his Susanoo had been destroyed, the cost had already been paid.
“To kill you and take your eyes,” Shin said bluntly.
Ryota’s Mangekyō Sharingan was nearing blindness, but it was still valuable.
If it weren’t for his eyes, Shin would have killed him with the Susanoo.
“You want my Mangekyō Sharingan?” Ryota’s face twisted in anger.
