Chapter 124: Susanoo? No, it's too inefficient to clean up the trash!
First, the skeleton, then the muscles and tendons, and finally, a majestic, god-like Perfect Susanoo, shining with dark purple divine light! It was enormous. Its body, which was hundreds of meters tall, almost filled the entire sky of Howling Valley. It was a true demon god, clad in armor and wielding weapons, full of the beauty of power and destruction.
Its immense body cast a shadow that covered the sky and sun, making Uchiha Kagami's Susanoo appear like a tiny, pathetic toy. Uchiha Akira stood in the diamond-shaped crystal on the demon god's forehead, arms crossed, looking down with cold eyes. Even the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, showed an unprecedentedly grave expression.
"This… This is…" Uchiha Kagami's voice trembled violently. "No!"
He let out a desperate roar, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, and controlled the Chakra longsword, swinging it down with all his might! However, facing this desperate strike, Uchiha Akira's Susanoo didn't even lift an arm.
"Clang—!!!!"
A piercing clang of metal that made even the soul tremble. The giant Chakra longsword struck the Perfect Susanoo's shoulder armor squarely. It was completely ineffective, and the dark purple demon god remained motionless.
"Do you see, Uchiha Kagami," Akira said. "This is the gap. Your so-called resolve, your so-called will, are worthless in the face of my absolute power. The so-called recognition of the Village that you have pursued your entire life is nothing but a bone thrown to you by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura. And you, for this bone, are even willing to bare your fangs at your own kin. You are not the shame of the Uchiha; you are the… sorrow of the Uchiha."
As his words fell, the dark purple demon god finally moved. Like swatting a fly, it casually slapped its hand out. The speed was not fast.
"No—!"
"Crack… crackle crackle…" Crisp cracking sounds rang out densely. The giant palm accurately struck Uchiha Kagami's Susanoo. Uchiha Kagami's Susanoo instantly became like fragile glass, covered in spiderweb-like cracks.
The next second, a deafening boom sounded. Uchiha Kagami's Susanoo exploded from head to toe, completely turning into nothingness.
The entire Howling Valley fell into a deathly silence. The 5,000 ninja around were all frozen in place as if petrified. In their eyes, only the dark purple demon god, standing between heaven and earth, remained. Their breathing stopped, and fear was no longer enough to describe their feelings.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's body trembled uncontrollably. Senju Tobirama's face was very gloomy. "The Uchiha… are indeed a naturally evil clan! This kind of power should not exist in this world!"
Senju Hashirama, who had been silent, slowly spoke. "Tobirama."
Senju Tobirama suddenly turned to look at his elder brother. Senju Hashirama's gaze still did not leave the dark purple demon god. "His strength…" Senju Hashirama paused, seemingly searching for a suitable word. "Is already not weaker than Madara and I were at our peak. No. Perhaps… it even surpasses us."
That purple Perfect Susanoo, just standing there, was enough to make the heavens and earth lose their color and the valley wail.
Rout. It could no longer be called a rout. It was an avalanche. Thousands of so-called elite ninja now had only one thought in their minds: run! Get away from that monster! They frantically surged towards the narrow valley mouth. Order? Discipline? Will of Fire? In the face of absolute, incomprehensible power, these things were worthless.
Uchiha Akira looked at these unsightly "elites." The Totsuka-no-Tsurugi in Susanoo's hand unleashed a terrifying slash.
"Swish—!" A terrifying sword qi swept out. Wherever the sword qi passed, whether it was running ninja or sturdy cliffs, they were instantly cut open. Smooth as a mirror. Hundreds of ninja, without even having time to let out a scream, had their upper bodies and lower bodies say goodbye forever. Blood, like a fountain, dyed the earth red.
However, Uchiha Akira's brows furrowed slightly. He looked at the lucky few who had escaped, exploding with potential due to fear and fleeing at an even faster speed. A hint of impatience flashed in his mind.
"Susanoo, the spectacle is enough. But for clearing out small fry, the efficiency is too low. It's like using a Gatling gun to shoot mosquitoes; some always get away," Uchiha Akira muttered in a low voice.
The next second, that Perfect Susanoo, capable of making the world tremble, instantly dissipated like a phantom. Uchiha Akira's figure once again floated in mid-air. Above the valley, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were stunned.
Uchiha Akira… released his Susanoo? Why? Was it due to excessive Chakra consumption? A glimmer of hope had just risen in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart. But the next second, he saw Uchiha Akira raise his right hand. His palm was aimed at the chaotic crowd below, like an anthill.
Uchiha Akira's eyes, at some point, had switched to the Rinnegan.
"Super Shinra Tensei."
Buzz ——————!
A terrifying, all-destroying repulsive force erupted with Uchiha Akira as its center! This was not a regular Shinra Tensei. This was a Super Shinra Tensei enhanced by his "Divine Authority: Technique Amplification." Space, at this moment, seemed to be fiercely kneaded by an invisible large hand.
Immediately after, destruction descended. The surrounding ninja, at the instant the repulsive force arrived, turned into their most basic particles.
"Rumble rumble rumble—!!!!"
The delayed sound finally arrived belatedly. That was the sound of the entire Howling Valley being forcibly torn apart and expanded from the middle by this unrivaled repulsive force! With Uchiha Akira as the center, an enormous, bowl-bottom-smooth crater, with a diameter of over 5 kilometers, appeared out of thin air.
The valley was gone. The cliffs were gone. The thousands of ninja were also gone. Not even a trace of their existence was left. Just a split second before the repulsive force erupted, a golden light enveloped Hiruzen Sarutobi and a few others, disappearing instantly. When they reappeared, they were already several kilometers away in the high sky. Senju Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer everyone.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's body trembled violently. 5,000 ninja, the last remaining strength of the Sarutobi, Shimura, and Mitokado clans, were just like that… gone? One move. Just one move.
Uchiha Akira's figure slowly turned around, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
