"BOOM——!!!"
With a single shout from Shinju, it was as if he had invoked the very laws of heaven and earth—The world itself seemed to respond in kind!
In an instant,
The winds howled, and dark clouds gathered above!
Within moments, the sky over Shinju's head turned pitch black, arcs of blue-violet lightning flickering and twisting among the clouds!
"BOOM!!!"
A blinding bolt of lightning fell from the heavens, crashing down upon the giant green deity that Shinju controlled!
The moment thunder met the armor of Susanoo, the emerald War God underwent a transformation!
The leaping bolts of lightning condensed together, forming a massive purple drum wheel behind the deity's back!
Meanwhile, the Susanoo's body swelled and expanded, rising from two or three hundred meters to a towering five or six hundred!!
Its armor grew sharper, more defined, and far more menacing!
Then—six new arms sprouted from its body. Each held a divine weapon: a pair of drumsticks, a bow, an arrow, and dual blades!
Half a minute later, the transformation was complete.
Shinju stood atop the crystal embedded in the Thunder God's forehead, gazing down arrogantly at Uchiha Madara!
"Gulp~~"
Madara's throat bobbed as he swallowed hard.
He admitted it—he was rattled! (≖╻≖;)
After the Complete Body Susanoo... there's another form?!
And this kid—what kind of monster is he?! How can he enhance Susanoo itself?!ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!!
And to think—he's not even a member of the Uchiha clan!!
On the ground, the dying Four Kage suddenly sat bolt upright, staring wide-eyed at the towering Thunder God in the distance! (⊙o⊙)
After a long moment of stunned silence, the Raikage finally spoke:
"Dom... i... nance!"
The Tsuchikage nodded solemnly.
The Mizukage's face was filled with awe.
"If he had joined the battle earlier, we wouldn't have suffered this much!"
...
Facing Uchiha Madara, Shinju smiled faintly.
"Are you ready to return to the Pure Land?"
As he spoke, the massive drum wheel behind the Thunder God began to rumble!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM——"
The thunderous sound shook the heavens, lightning bursting wildly around Shinju!
Within the storm of violet lightning, two of the Thunder God's eight arms lowered the bow and arrow into position.
The bow was drawn—taut as a full moon!
Though Madara was still shocked, he kept up his elder's composure and shouted,
"Boy, so what if your Susanoo looks impressive? My Edo Tensei body is immortal and indestructible!!"
Shinju didn't bother replying. He formed a hand seal and roared.
The Thunder God's fingers released the arrow.
"Whoosh!!!"
The arrow vanished—piercing through space itself!
The next moment, it appeared directly before Uchiha Madara!
"Slash!"
Neither Madara nor his Susanoo had time to react—
The Arrow shot clean through his chest!!
Then—
"Whoosh..."
The blue Susanoo deity dissipated into air.
Madara's body began to crumble from the point of impact, turning to ash bit by bit.
As he fell, his brow furrowed—he could feel it. The Netherworld was pulling at his soul!
"How... how could your arrow break the Edo Tensei binding?!" Madara demanded, his mind filled with disbelief and shock.
Shinju answered honestly,
"The arrow carries a sealing jutsu. The moment it touches your body, it sends your soul back to the Netherworld. Also..."
Madara nodded slowly. "I see..."
"A remarkable boy indeed."
"I, Uchiha Madara, acknowledge you as my second true opponent—after Hashirama Senju!! (′д｀σ)σ"
"Boy, we will meet again!"
"When that time comes, I hope to fight your true body!"
"As long as you can revive again." Shinju shrugged. "┐(´-｀)┌"
While speaking, he finally noticed—Madara's Edo Tensei eyes were the Rinnegan.
"Your eyes..." Shinju asked curiously.
Madara replied truthfully,
"Merely the Rinnegan awakened by my Edo Tensei body. ¯\(ツ)/¯"
"Edo Tensei... so even those Rinnegan might still..." Shinju murmured to himself.
But Madara could no longer hear him—
His body fully disintegrated, his soul returning to the Pure Land of the Netherworld.
All was finally over.
After Madara's disappearance, a faint trace of purple shimmered within Shinju's blood-red Mangekyō Sharingan...
Then, his gaze turned toward Kabuto's puppet, "Mu," who had been watching the entire battle.
The instant Mu saw Shinju look his way, he bolted— Terrified beyond words!
But Shinju didn't intend to let him escape.
With a casual swing of the Thunder God's massive spiral sword, he pierced Mu's body into fragments, scattering him completely beyond reformation!
Once it was done, Shinju dispersed the Thunder God and walked toward the heavily wounded Four Kage.
Tsunade looked at him with genuine admiration.
"Truly incredible... In that case, Shinju, I appoint you as the Sixth Hokage of Konohagakure! （--0027▿--0027）"
Shinju was speechless.
"Sensei, how could you repay kindness with revenge like that..."
Tsunade snapped,
"How is making you Hokage 'revenge'?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿 ಠ)"
The other three Kage struggled to hold back their laughter.
Ordinary shinobi would stop at nothing to become Kage, but Shinju? He didn't even want the title when offered!
Shinju shrugged. "Either way, I'm not doing it. ¯\(ツ)/¯"
Tsunade waved her hands helplessly.
"Look at me—I'm this injured, I can barely speak properly. How am I supposed to manage Konoha like this..."
Shinju smiled. "Don't worry, I'll heal you right now. ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"
Unexpectedly, Tsunade pushed away his hand and sighed.
"The Second Division is practically wiped out. You've already healed us Four Kage—go check if anyone in that unit can still be saved... ┭┮﹏┭┮"
Shinju said casually, "No worries, I'll heal them in a bit."
Tsunade's eyes widened.
"What do you mean in a bit? These are lives on the line! Don't tell me you actually plan to wait until they're dead and then use some one-life-for-one-life resurrection jutsu?! (´°Δ°`)"
As he carefully began healing Tsunade's injuries, Shinju replied quietly,
"There's no need for something that troublesome."
When he raised his head again, his eyes had turned violet—
The Rinnegan!
The Four Kage's jaws dropped.
"Shinju—you... your eyes?! !!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ"
"Don't be shocked," Shinju said, pressing his hand down as he explained calmly.
"This is one of the abilities of the Arrow."
"Whoever gets struck by it—their abilities can be seized and absorbed by me."
"These eyes... come from the Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara."
"However, since he awakened them while in an Edo Tensei body, they won't last long on me..."
The Raikage, still confused, muttered,
"Seizing... I've never heard of any of this terminology."
The Mizukage summed it up plainly.
"A temporary Rinnegan—whatever it is, it's powerful enough."
Shinju nodded.
"Of course. The Rinnegan's abilities are quite extensive."
"For example..."
He began forming hand seals.
"Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!!!"
