In truth, what Yoruha didn't mention was that he chose to use sealing techniques simply to engage Sasuke and the others in the style of a ninja battle.
However, Yoruha's current combat methods had long surpassed the realm of a typical ninja. If Yoruha had used his current fighting style earlier, Amaterasu wouldn't have been able to be unleashed at all.
Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan would have been destroyed instantly. The so-called all-consuming flames of Amaterasu would have been rewritten, turning into ordinary fire, or even extinguished directly. The reason Yoruha used sealing techniques was simply to avoid being too shocking.
Although, what he just did was already quite astonishing. Yoruha said calmly, "Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, give it your all. Testing me is meaningless." After the three exchanged glances, Sasuke channeled chakra, and a massive amount of it surged into his eyes.
"Susanoo!" "Boom!" In an instant, blue chakra enveloped the three of them, and a blue chakra warrior appeared. The warrior stood over a hundred meters tall, like a small mountain. Yoruha was not surprised at all. "You can already activate a full-body Susanoo without having evolved to the Eternal Mangekyo? Not bad."
Watching from a distance, Kakashi, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were all stunned. "Is this... the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan? So powerful... This must be the strength of the Uchiha clan that can rival the Tailed Beasts," Tsunade exclaimed.
Kakashi was equally shocked, having completed so many missions with Sasuke, he had never seen him use this before.
It was also Jiraiya's first time witnessing Susanoo. From his perspective, Susanoo seemed to tower into the clouds.
Such a massive chakra construct must consume an enormous amount of chakra, indicating just how vast Sasuke's chakra reserves had become. At this moment, Sasuke and the others were lifted to Susanoo's head, protected by it.
Susanoo's towering figure, radiating blue light, alarmed all the ninjas in Konoha Village. The commotion was too great, and Susanoo's brilliance was too dazzling.
The ninjas of Konoha thought it was an enemy attack, as they had never seen such a terrifying power before—a chakra warrior even larger than the Nine-Tails, not something to be underestimated.
Seeing Sasuke had already pulled out his trump card, Naruto gritted his teeth and said, "Sasuke, even though I don't want to use it, to show Yoruha how much I've improved over the years, I'll take a few days' rest if I have to."
Without waiting for Sasuke and Sakura to ask what he intended to do, Naruto clasped his hands together and shouted, "Nine-Tails, let Yoruha witness your power. I'll temporarily hand my body over to you."
Naruto shouted, and Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kakashi, who had retreated several kilometers away, were all shocked upon hearing his words. Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, "Can Naruto fully transform into a Tailed Beast now?" Jiraiya's expression was serious, "Not yet. He can only maintain consciousness below the Four-Tails."
This was already much stronger than in the original story at this point, where Naruto would lose consciousness in the Four-Tails state. Tsunade was puzzled, "Then how can he hand his body over to the Nine-Tails? Isn't he worried about it going berserk?"
"How could the Nine-Tails go berserk with Yoruha around?" someone questioned. "When Naruto completely hands over his body to the Nine-Tails, his consciousness is entirely erased. After the Nine-Tails' chakra recedes back into his body, Naruto needs several days to recover."
"It seems the pressure from Yoruha was immense, forcing him to make such a choice."
Inside Naruto's mindscape, after making his decision, the Nine-Tails' chakra surged wildly. With Naruto's consent, Yoruha's seal offered no resistance, allowing the Nine-Tails' chakra to pour out. The Nine-Tails exclaimed excitedly, "It's been a long time since I've seen that guy. Let's see how terrifying you've become."
Within the Susanoo, Naruto's body swelled instantly, and soon, the blood-red chakra coalesced into the form of the Nine-Tailed Fox. "Roar~" The moment the Nine-Tails appeared, it let out a thunderous roar towards the sky. The sound pierced the heavens, and the entire Konoha could clearly hear this terrifying roar.
Or rather, there was no need to hear the roar; the Nine-Tails' form had already appeared within the Susanoo. The armored Susanoo appeared once more. Sasuke had never seen it, but the Nine-Tails had done this before. The Nine-Tails skillfully guided the Susanoo's chakra to coat its body.
Soon, the Nine-Tails was fully clad in Susanoo's armor. "Such a familiar feeling. That bastard Madara's technique is indeed useful." Unlike the time when it was controlled by Madara, the Nine-Tails now had its own consciousness and could fight according to its own will.
The Nine-Tails looked down at Yoruha on the ground, the person it had wanted to meet for over three years. "Hahaha, Yoruha, it's been over three years. Let me test your strength now." Hearing the Nine-Tails, Yoruha looked up, his expression calm. "Nine-Tails, you're still the same. Try to last a bit longer this time."
"Don't embarrass the Tailed Beasts," the Nine-Tails snorted. "You should worry about yourself. I won't hold back, and if you don't try hard, you might die." Yoruha chuckled and said no more.
Meanwhile, as Yoruha and the Nine-Tails conversed, the commotion had drawn Konoha's high-ranking officials to the rooftop of the Hokage building.
From there, they could see the distant Nine-Tails clad in Susanoo armor. The oppressive aura made the ninjas who had experienced the Nine-Tails' attack feel as if they were back in that time.
"The Nine-Tails, it's the Nine-Tails! Is it attacking the village again? Damn it!" Many were unaware of Susanoo and didn't know that Tsunade was testing Sasuke and the others.
They thought Naruto had lost control and the Nine-Tails had broken free. Guy's expression was grave as he made a decision in his heart.
If he couldn't stop the Nine-Tails, he would open the Eight Gates to prevent the Nine-Tails from destroying Konoha. However, he hadn't considered that the Nine-Tails was a chakra entity and that his Eight Gates couldn't kill it.
Danzo, leaning on his cane, looked grim. "Damn it, the Nine-Tails has indeed broken free. I said back then that the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki should be locked up, but that old fool Sarutobi gave him freedom. Now the village is paying for your foolish decision."
Due to being completely isolated by the village's high-ranking officials, Danzo was unaware of the situation with Naruto and Sasuke.
However, Mitokado Homura and Koharu Utatane, standing beside him, could guess what was happening. Moreover, Tsunade had previously informed them that Yoruha was testing Sasuke and the others.
What shocked the two Hokage advisors was that Sasuke could use Susanoo, and it didn't seem much weaker than Madara's from back then.
Naruto had released the Nine-Tails. Although they trusted Yoruha, they felt the risk was too high. "This is too reckless. What if the Nine-Tails can't be controlled?" Koharu Utatane expressed concern.
Mitokado Homura, however, calmly replied, "Didn't you notice that the Nine-Tails doesn't intend to attack Konoha?" "In the past, if the Nine-Tails were released, it would have attacked the village first thing."
