On the battlefield, Chinya was locked in intense combat with his Replica, while also having to stay alert for potential surprise attacks from the Third Mizukage.
"Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique!"
Chinya exhaled a thick mist from his mouth, shrouding the battlefield in dense fog.
Since this mist contained chakra, most Sensor Ninja could no longer detect Chinya's exact location.
Even the Third Mizukage now struggled to pinpoint Chinya's position, only vaguely sensing his general direction.
However, Chinya's Replica remained unaffected, possessing the same Sharingan perception abilities as Chinya himself.
Chinya couldn't help but admire the power of this technique.
He remembered a similar one—Pain had something called the [Mirrored Sudden Attacker Technique]. When someone tore open a special parchment, a clone that completely replicated the appearance and abilities of the paper-tearer would emerge to attack.
But the clone's strength remained fixed at the level the user had when activating it—if the user grew stronger afterward, the clone became useless.
And there was also the Water Mirror Technique...
Chinya had just acquired a new jutsu from the Redemption Shop. With his current skill level, he could master ordinary techniques after just a single glance.
After using this technique once, his Replica was somehow able to copy and use it too.
Moreover, since the Replica itself was a ninja technique, Chinya's Genjutsu had absolutely no effect on it.
This Replica really was extraordinary.
Chinya wouldn't have minded fighting the Replica all day… if it weren't for the Third Mizukage getting in the way.
"Ice Release: Ice Spike Strike!"
Suddenly, numerous ice spikes erupted from the ground beneath Chinya's feet. Dodging the deadly spikes caused him to lose his offensive opportunity.
In an instant, the Replica activated Lightning Body and appeared right in front of Chinya. It executed the [Sixth Form of Thunder Breathing - Electric Roar], instantly releasing countless [Slash Shaped Like a Bolt of Lightning] in all directions.
As he dodged, a sharp sting slashed across his cheek.
He touched it lightly and found a streak of blood at his fingertips.
He had been wounded by his own technique.
The Replica gave him no time to recover, lunging forward and unleashing the first form—Thunder Flash, even using the [Thunder Flash Swift] version.
Chinya countered with the [First Style Thunder Flash Swift]. His ninja sword collided violently with the Replica's blade.
In the next second, both swords cracked under pressure and shattered simultaneously.
However, the Replica immediately generated another sword and swung downward toward Chinya.
Chinya smiled slightly. "Well then, I'll stop playing around."
His left eye flared, the Mangekyo Sharingan spinning rapidly. He released Wanju—the Dojutsu technique.
Instantly, the Replica collapsed into a puddle of water, splashing onto the ground.
Sure, the Replica was good—but it had one flaw: it couldn't copy Kekkei Genkai techniques.
Plus, as a replication of ninja techniques, no matter how powerful it was, it still belonged to the category of jutsu.
And any jutsu would be rejected by Chinya's Dojutsu ability—Wanju.
Chinya voluntarily canceled the Hiding in Mist Technique.
Seeing that Chinya had already defeated his Replica, the Third Mizukage's eyes narrowed with seriousness. "You destroyed it that quickly? But this isn't the limit of the Water Mirror Technique! Perhaps you could defeat one through luck, but how about two?"
"Suiton: Water Mirror Technique!"
Once again, a water mirror formed in front of the Third Mizukage, and this time there were two Replicas of Chinya.
Kakashi shot to his feet in shock upon seeing the two Replicas.
Earlier, Chinya had used the Hiding in Mist Technique, leaving Kakashi unable to sense what was happening inside.
But if a single Replica could fight evenly against Chinya, wouldn't two become dangerous?
Chinya's Shadow Clone smiled lightly. "There's no need to worry. Have you forgotten about my Dojutsu?"
Kakashi immediately understood. "Right, Chinya-sensei's Dojutsu can counter all jutsu. No matter how powerful those Replicas are, they're still considered jutsu. So sensei actually had victory secured all along."
Nodding, Chinya's Shadow Clone said, "Like I said before, I always play it safe. Most of the time, I don't do stuff unless I'm sure of myself."
Kakashi asked, "Most of the time? So you *do* take risks sometimes?"
The Shadow Clone chuckled. "Of course. There are always some things you have to do even without confidence. Anyway, watch carefully now. My real body is about to demonstrate the true power of the Mangekyo Sharingan."
Kakashi asked doubtfully, "The true power of the Mangekyo Sharingan? Isn't the Mangekyo's power contained within its ocular techniques?"
Shaking his head, Chinya replied, "No, two Mangekyo Sharingan eyes can awaken a third power—an ability known as godly might."
Kakashi murmured, "Godly might..."
Chinya roared from the battlefield: "Susanoo!"
A massive blue skeleton surrounded Chinya.
But it didn't stop there—the giant blue skeleton gained muscle and veins covered by a cloak-like chakra exterior, unlocking Chinya's special Susanoo weapon, [Sanming Blade].
The Sanming Blade wasn't just one sword—it consisted of three legendary blades: the Daitōren (Great Sword), Shōtōren (Small Sword), and Kenmyōren (Manifesting Sword).
The three swords floated behind Chinya's Susanoo.
Now Chinya looked completely different from before—he could only form part of his Susanoo previously, but now he had reached the second stage.
This second stage of Susanoo was the most balanced—unlocking his legendary weapons and granting access to the devastating long-range Ninjutsu, the Yasaka Magatama.
The Mist Ninjas watched Chinya's Susanoo with gaping mouths.
Doubt began creeping into their minds—could they really defeat something like this?
Even Kakashi stared at Chinya's Susanoo in disbelief.
"This is what Chinya-sensei meant by godly might? Truly mind-blowing..."
The Third Mizukage's face tightened as he watched Chinya's Susanoo emerge.
As an experienced leader with vast knowledge and seniority, the Third Mizukage knew plenty.
After the initial establishment of the five great nations, to address discussions regarding the distribution of the Tailed Beasts, the First Mizukage, Hakuren, was invited by the First Hokage, Hashirama, to participate in the historic "First Meeting of the Five Kages" along with four other Kage-level leaders from various countries. During this event, he served as Hakuren's bodyguard.
The Third Mizukage had therefore witnessed Madara Uchiha's Susanoo on the battlefield—a world-shattering force.
Even now, Madara Uchiha's godlike image remained vividly etched in the Third Mizukage's memory.
Faced with Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, the Third Mizukage felt utterly powerless.
Although Chinya's Susanoo did not carry the same overwhelming pressure as Madara Uchiha's, it still sent chills down his spine.
