"What's happening?"
"How did that shuriken just vanish into thin air?"
"Am I seeing things? Goff, Fat Tiger, did you see that?"
"We saw it too! What kind of jutsu is this? Could it be...?"
"Oh, heavens!"
In that instant, the Konoha ninja froze. They were stunned, standing there dumbfounded. They all rubbed their eyes, but no matter how wide they opened them, the giant shuriken had simply disappeared in mid-air.
"Hmph."
Obito was pleased with their reactions. In his current state, he particularly enjoyed seeing the expressions on Kakashi and the others.
"This is a unique skill unlocked now that I possess both of my eyes. Despair! To die at the hands of an Uchiha is not a nameless end for you!"
If only Hatake Kusuo had the same look on his face, Obito thought.
He desperately wanted to see Hatake Kusuo show the same disbelief, panic, fear, or confusion as the Konoha Anbu. He would have savored any of it!
This… this was the power he had finally obtained after countless trials.
However, the result was the exact opposite.
Not only did Hatake Kusuo show no change in expression, but he remained as calm and composed as ever.
Ahhhhh!!!!
Damn it!!!!!
Hatake Kusuo, why is this man still so calm!?
The more he thought about it, the angrier Obito became. Even after witnessing the Kamui Shuriken disappear, Hatake Kusuo showed no sign of alarm.
"Could it be... this guy knows the secret to this technique?"
Suddenly, a thought surfaced out of nowhere.
"Impossible!" Obito shook his head. To him, that was absolutely impossible.
Shhh!
Suddenly, in the sky where everyone was watching, the Kamui Shuriken, which had been gone for several seconds, reappeared just ten meters from Hatake Kusuo. It descended with a ferocious gale, poised to engulf him!
"Lord Kusuo!"
"Kusuo!"
"Watch out, Lord Kusuo!"
The Konoha ninja were stunned. The outcome was both sudden and expected. Having seen this Uchiha, the man claiming to be Madara, use his strange ability to make parts of his body vanish, they had a faint guess.
They never expected the jutsu to be exactly as they imagined!
It was impossible to defend against!
There was no way to predict when the shuriken would appear!
Moreover, the shuriken was enormous, the size of three men. At such a high speed, appearing so suddenly and at such close range, how could anyone dodge it!?
It was clear that any normal ninja facing this technique would have no chance of escape. It was a certain death sentence!
Even for a Kage!
Perhaps only a shinobi with the speed of the Raikage could manage it.
Of course, even Raikage A would only be able to flee in a panic.
"Lord Kusuo, run!"
"Dodge it!"
"Can he dodge it?"
"He has to!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the scene. With every rotation of the shuriken in the air, their hearts sank a little further.
Finally.
CLANG!
The sharp sound of metal clashing rang out, accompanied by a brilliant shower of sparks.
Hatake Kusuo had drawn his sword and blocked it!
The Kamui Shuriken was massive, two or three times the size of Hatake Kusuo himself, yet under his blade, it could not advance a single inch!
Shock.
Utter shock.
Such terrifying strength was on full display!
"Incredible! What amazing power! To think Lord Kusuo could block such a massive projectile with just one sword!"
"Yes! What horrifying strength! Only Lady Tsunade could possibly match that power!"
"Don't get too excited. This was just a probing attack from the enemy. Lord Kusuo was only defending," a more level-headed person in the crowd analyzed calmly.
The others nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
A Susanoo of this magnitude was something they had rarely seen in their lives.
It was too strong. Against a battle of this level, they could only be spectators; they weren't even qualified to participate. If they weren't the elite forces of Konoha with strong mental fortitude, they probably would have dropped their weapons in fear and waited for death.
It was just like the Allied Shinobi Forces during the Fourth Great Ninja War, witnessing the battle between Madara and the First Hokage.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Just then, two figures rushed to the scene.
It was Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Their expressions were grave. After a brief explanation from Kakashi and the others, they understood the gravity of the situation. The village had just settled down, and Tsunade, as Hokage, had only just been freed up.
"So this is the Susanoo? It's as monstrously powerful as the legends say. Truly not to be underestimated," Jiraiya said, his face heavy. Looking at the giant, demonic Tengu Susanoo in the sky, even his usually resilient heart wavered.
"Yes, it's hard to imagine a mortal possessing such power," Tsunade said, her gaze sharp as she stepped forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Jiraiya. She had heard the stories from her clan's history; her grandfather, the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, had fought enemies of this caliber. In fact, Madara's power was even greater than this mysterious man claiming his name.
"Hmph! You think this is over?"
With Hatake Kusuo effortlessly blocking one of the Kamui Shuriken with his sword, Obito sneered, paying no mind to the arrival of Tsunade and Jiraiya. To him, ordinary Kage were no longer worthy of his attention.
His enemy, from beginning to end, was Hatake Kusuo alone!
"It's not over yet!"
Obito roared, and swoosh!—another giant shuriken materialized. This one not only carried a powerful, heavy impact but also seemed to warp the very space around it!
"Look out! That technique...!?"
The people below cried out in alarm, as if they had just witnessed the Kamui Shuriken's ability to twist nearby objects into a separate dimension.
A smirk crept across Obito's lips. "This time, I win!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
SHIIIING!
A slash.
An earth-shattering slash.
A magnificent, awe-inspiring sword aura streaked across the sky, illuminating it with a blinding light.
The sword qi was so brilliant that people couldn't keep their eyes open.
"What is this?" Obito, inside the Susanoo, watched with uncertainty.
A clear voice suddenly shot up from below, piercing his ears.
"Sun Breathing, Tenth Form: Raging Sun!"
BOOM!
The brilliant flash filled the entire sky, turning the night into day. Scorching, searing heat swept across the heavens.
What a sword strike.
It was like a slash that tore open the dark curtain of night, splitting the entire world in two. It struck Obito's Susanoo dead center.
CRACK!!!
The void shattered.
Obito seemed to realize his fate. His heart was filled with shock and panic, mixed with a hint of disbelief, a touch of fear and despair, but mostly, unwillingness.
"No—"
With a desperate cry, the sword qi instantly melted half of the Susanoo, revealing a molten orange cross-section. The tall, divine, semi-complete Susanoo collapsed, barely staying upright on its remaining wing.
Below, a young man in flowing red robes stood, his long hair dancing in the wind. He was full of vibrant life, his expression both carefree and indifferent.
The way he stood silently holding his sword, he looked like a supreme warrior at the pinnacle of the ninja world, disdaining the challenge of a weaker foe!
"He... he won?"
"It's over just like that?"
The Konoha ninja were dumbfounded, their minds nearly short-circuiting.
The entire battlefield was in awe.
For a moment, everyone's memory was stuck on that stunning sword strike from seconds ago.
This damn kid is still as amazing as ever! Tsunade sniffed, closing her mouth which had hung open in surprise. A strange light flashed in her eyes.
