Sparks of lightning filled the air, a cascade of blue arcs under the night sky. The sudden attack caught everyone by surprise, leaving them no time to react.
"Kakashi!" Asuma, who was standing right beside him, shouted. His hands glowed with chakra, and the Flying Swallow blades in his hands shone brightly, forming a circular arc of light.
"Wind Blade!" Asuma roared, swinging his blade at Obito's head.
Obito sneered. "Tricks of an insect."
SWOOSH!
With a strange ripple, Obito's head, which was about to be struck by Asuma, suddenly phased into nothingness. After a moment of distortion, his form solidified again. He thrust out another kunai, this time striking the base of Asuma's thumb. A cry of pain rang out as Asuma clutched his right hand, staring at Obito in panic and terror. This bizarre technique was simply too incomprehensible.
"It's you! Who are you?" Kakashi asked, having already used lightning to cauterize the wound on his shoulder. Although he already had a guess in his heart, a guess his cousin Kusuo had hinted at countless times, he refused to believe it until he saw it with his own eyes—that this masked man was the same kind, sunny companion from his past.
"Hmph! My name is Madara Uchiha!" Obito's ethereal voice echoed from the sky. He had already returned to the top of the giant Madara Uchiha statue, looking down contemptuously at the Konoha ninja below.
The crowd of black-clad figures stirred. Madara Uchiha? That legendary man? Compared to other villages, the people of Konoha had a deeper understanding of the man who was the equal of the First Hokage. The legendary ninja who stood alongside Hashirama Senju in a chaotic era—his strength needed no explanation.
Gulp...
The sound of swallowing was heard. It was clear some had begun to waver in uncertainty.
"Hehe," seeing the scene below, Obito's lips curved into a smile that was either proud or sinister. "In that case, I might as well let you all witness my true prowess." He suddenly turned to Kusuo, who had been calmly watching everything unfold. "Soon, you will witness the ultimate ninjutsu of our Uchiha clan, the symbol of invincibility and destruction!" His words were filled with absolute confidence, as if the heavens and earth were about to bow at his feet.
Kusuo said faintly, "You don't mean that boring Susanoo, do you?"
"..." Obito's words caught in his throat. He immediately became enraged, having heard the disdain and indifference in Kusuo's voice. It was a question, but Kusuo's tone held no emotional fluctuation. It was as if the ultimate dōjutsu of their supreme Uchiha clan was truly just a boring trick.
His crimson eyes darted around, and Obito seemed to remember something. "You're not lumping me in with Itachi's Susanoo, are you? Let me tell you, his Susanoo is incomplete. It doesn't even begin to show the true power of our Uchiha clan. But you, you are fortunate enough to witness a truly complete and powerful Susanoo!"
Kusuo didn't react, just watched him with an indifferent expression. This dismissive gaze and posture completely infuriated Obito.
The Konoha ninja below naturally heard their conversation, their hearts filled with worry and tension. The Uchiha's Susanoo—honestly, besides Jiraiya, no one else had ever seen it. It was a synonym for destruction. Could Lord Kusuo withstand it? Apart from Kakashi, Asuma, and a few other Jonin who were close to him, no one else had a clear concept of its power.
Just then, a pale blue light shot into the sky. A massive shockwave kicked up a violent wind, and everyone struggled to stand firm as they looked up. Obito was completely enveloped in chakra, an amount so vast and immense it was like a divine cloak. It was truly the ultimate dōjutsu of the Uchiha; the sheer fluctuation of power was enough to show its extraordinariness.
Unlike Itachi's method of activation, Obito seemed to be deliberately showing off his power. The spectacle lasted a full thirty seconds before it ended. When the storm and light dissipated, a pale blue, sky-covering giant stood in the air. It had two massive wings extending from its back, and its overall shape was that of a great Tengu, both ferocious and solemn.
'So it's still the same as in the original story,' Kusuo thought, taking in the sight. It was identical to the Susanoo that Obito had lent to Kakashi during the final battle with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. However, the scale seemed much smaller this time. Although he called it complete, Kusuo had his doubts. Even though he had never seen Madara's Susanoo, based on the Five Kage's despair upon seeing the true complete Susanoo and comparing the sizes, he could tell that while Obito's had the shape, its size was lacking.
While Kusuo was thinking this, the Konoha ninja below were completely dumbfounded. They stared blankly, almost foolishly, at the god-like giant Susanoo, muttering, "Is this the power of the Uchiha clan?"
Kakashi's face was also heavy. He shook his head. "To be precise, not all Uchiha have this power. Only those who have awakened the eye, meaning those who possess the power of the Mangekyō, can activate the Susanoo."
Hearing this, Asuma suddenly remembered his battle with Itachi. "Kakashi, that time we ran into Itachi..."
"That's right! Itachi was holding back then. He had no intention of killing us." Kakashi's answer made Asuma's face turn bitter. So, their previous encounter wasn't a narrow defeat where Kakashi was severely injured. They had been completely played with. The opponent hadn't even been using his full strength!
"Is Lord Kusuo a match for this guy?"
"I don't know, but Lord Kusuo can even suppress a Tailed Beast. He should be fine against this, right?"
"But... but this Susanoo is even bigger than a Tailed Beast!" Obito's complete Susanoo, though for some reason still a size smaller than Madara's, was still large enough to inspire despair. Compared to it, even the Nine-Tails, the strongest of the nine Tailed Beasts, was not on the same level in terms of pure size.
Kusuo saw their reactions, especially the dejected look on his former Jonin instructor, Asuma. He shook his head in disappointment. It seems Asuma is still far from finding his own ninja way! Otherwise, with the Wind Blade in his hands, if he had honed it to the extreme, he might have been able to cut through the Susanoo.
"Speaking of cutting a Susanoo with one sword strike, I'm quite curious. What's the difference between your shell and Itachi's?"
With one motion, he drew his sword. Kusuo took a step forward.
And slashed.
A crimson crescent moon shot out horizontally. Its heavenly might, like a roaring fire dragon, slammed into Obito's pale blue Susanoo!
