The moment that ultimate Chakra, coalesced from all of humanity's negative will, surged, all Ninja with excellent sensory abilities present instinctively looked up in the direction from which it erupted.
This terrifying power, comparable to a natural disaster, made it difficult for Ninja who were even slightly closer to breathe.
Namikaze Minato, who was already in another mountain path, instinctively stopped, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Suddenly, his figure abruptly vanished from his original spot.
Almost the instant he warped out of this path, the entire mountain began to shake violently as if trembling, and the rock-built mountain body seemed as fragile as a child's toy at this moment.
Dark red Chakra armor continuously grew under the girl's shrill cry, from its original low skeleton to constantly climbing muscle fibers.
From within the giant-like palm, a river-like curved blade was suddenly drawn out.
She fiercely swung it down towards the gloomy mountain that obscured her vision.
"Boom—!"
Deafening, piercing clouds and splitting rocks.
With just one strike, this mountain, which still had many sealing structures remaining, instantly shattered like tofu.
With the dark red giant's location as the origin point, a straight storm trace several kilometers long was torn open in front of it.
Uchiha Megumi had already realized something was wrong when the strange woman started going crazy, and instinctively linked it to the ocular power that had guided her here purely by instinct.
However, even after she had run out of the mountain, her body was still uncontrollably swept up by the residual power of the blade, helpless like willow catkins blown by the wind.
"Thump."
After several consecutive tumbles to the ground, the girl looked up at the dark red giant standing in the center of the mountain, splitting the entire peak, and a name suddenly popped into her mind.
"This is..."
"The Third Power, Susanoo?!"
"But, that child just now looked so small...?"
However, before she could think further, the intuition honed by countless battles made a sense of crisis suddenly rise in her heart.
She looked up to see the girl standing in the center of the dark red giant looking at her at some point.
"I'll kill you!"
The chilling tone contained in that cold voice was not feigned.
However, this attitude, as if she had seen a rival for her husband, made Uchiha Megumi completely unable to understand.
Why?
Shouldn't she have realized we were of the same clan upon seeing these eyes?
Why would she attack us instead?
Is it because of that strange Sand Ninja just now? Or some other reason?
At this moment, Uchiha Megumi's mind was full of question marks, but she had no time to ask them.
Almost the instant that voice fell, the curved blade in the dark red giant's hand was already raised high, pointing directly at Uchiha Megumi.
Vertical chop!
The greatsword, whose blade alone was over ten meters long, erupted with a power completely unlike anything a Ninja could achieve the moment it descended, imbued with the Third Power.
If one had to compare it, it was simply like a true god.
However, perhaps because she had just awakened and hadn't fully mastered her body, or perhaps there was still an inner struggle, the girl's movement showed a slight hesitation the instant she swung the sword.
This subtle pause was a wide path to survival for Uchiha Megumi.
Body Flicker, roll, sprint.
At this moment, Miss Megumi dared not linger for a moment, circling more than half of the collapsed mountain, trying to rush into the girl's front by sticking to her blind spot.
At the same time, she quickly formed hand signs.
The next moment, her figure suddenly darted out from the other side, her cheeks puffed out.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Ink-colored dragon-shaped flames soared into the sky, violently striking the surface of the giant, which stood like a god on the earth, with ferocious might.
However, Megumi's pupils suddenly constricted.
The Great Dragon Fire, which she had poured all her strength into and was enough to burn an ordinary person to ash in an instant, abruptly spread out the moment it touched the dark red giant's armor.
It was as if it was blocked by some invisible barrier, failing to form even the slightest obstruction.
Not only that, the girl deep within the armor suddenly turned her head towards her, and the three-bladed pinwheel in the depths of her scarlet pupils suddenly rotated.
"Amaterasu!"
Pitch-black malicious flames abruptly erupted from nothingness, igniting everything in the direction of her gaze.
The Great Dragon Fire, which had originally been constantly burning around the outer layer of Susanoo, was easily preyed upon like fragile food in front of Amaterasu, showing a one-sided suppression when they collided.
Even Megumi's speed of spewing flames couldn't keep up with the speed of being devoured.
Upon realizing this, Uchiha Megumi immediately cut off her Chakra supply and quickly leaped away from the vicinity, avoiding a sudden downward strike from Susanoo.
"Thud!"
The earth trembled, and the solid ground rippled outwards like water.
Just the residual impact alone sent her flying uncontrollably from her spot, rolling on the ground for over ten meters.
"Plop."
Uchiha Megumi lay on the ground, watching this scene, gritting her teeth.
What kind of monster is this guy?
At the same moment she was thrown, a figure that had been lurking in the distance suddenly appeared.
Several specialized three-pronged Kunai flew towards Susanoo, emitting faint whistling sounds.
Before the girl covered by the armor could turn her head, Namikaze Minato's figure had already abruptly appeared in front of Susanoo, along with the flying Kunai.
In the golden-haired young man's hand was a mass of pure Chakra, condensed and compressed to the extreme, at least three sizes larger than previous models.
"Super: Gale Scorching Orb Flash Rasengan—!"
With a roar, the oversized Rasengan slammed heavily onto the surface of the Susanoo in front of him.
Its massive body was, however, pushed by this powerful blow, plowing a trench three to four meters long into the ground.
The thunderous roar made the girl inside the armor suddenly turn her head, but the surface of the dark red giant's armor still showed no damage.
"It didn't work?"
Seeing this, Minato was not disheartened.
While forming a single hand sign to evade a sweeping attack with Flying Thunder God, his gaze had already fallen upon the girl's fair, doll-like feet, deeply embedded in the ground within the armor.
And, a three-pronged Kunai 'just so happened' to be stuck beside her foot.
"If I can't break through from the outside."
"Then..."
Minato's actions were even faster than his brain's reaction; the moment his thoughts cleared, his figure had already charged out from the front again.
Having witnessed the previous attack, the armored girl's attention was clearly focused on this side.
The moment she noticed Minato reappear, the greatsword in the dark red giant's hand immediately chopped down without hesitation in the direction Minato was charging from.
"All Ninja, die!"
That pure, extreme hatred for the entire Ninja World seemed to make her even swing her sword half a beat faster than before.
However, the instant the blade was about to touch Minato.
His left hand suddenly formed a hand sign.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
His figure vanished abruptly, then reappeared.
However, when he reappeared, he was already in the huge gap between the girl and the dark red skeleton.
Minato's expression was calm, and his action of thrusting the Kunai showed no hesitation.
However, just as the Kunai was about to pierce her neck, his gaze suddenly met the girl's scarlet eyes.
'Darn it...'
'If not Sharingan, then is it Ketsuryugan?'
Information regarding the Mangekyo Sharingan, even within the entire Konoha Village, was a secret only circulated among the awakened members of the Uchiha clan.
The young Namikaze Minato had never seen eyes of this style, but he had heard of a hypnotic Kekkei Genkai in the Ninja World that was extremely similar to the Sharingan, and his heart instinctively became wary.
He immediately disrupted the Chakra in his body, performing a standard anti-hypnosis warning, and the speed of his Kunai thrust increased by half.
However, the mental impact that came next was infinitely more violent than he had imagined.
"Tsukuyomi."
The scarlet three-bladed pinwheel slowly rotated.
With just one glance, Namikaze Minato's consciousness appeared in another space where the sense of time was infinitely stretched.
His body in the outside world instantly froze in place.
The girl inside the armor suddenly raised her leg, spun, and delivered a ruthless kick.
Her fair little foot, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, slammed into Namikaze Minato's waist and abdomen, emitting a dull thud.
Her seemingly small body, however, unleashed astonishing power.
Namikaze Minato, who was at least a head taller than her, was actually sent flying by this kick, spinning away for over ten meters, creating a cloud of dust, and was directly swept out of Susanoo's protective range.
"Die—!"
Following that, the armored girl raised her blade, her scarlet eyes wide, and desperately chopped down in Minato's direction.
"Boom!"
The blade chopped down, and earth and stone exploded.
Deafening thunder permeated the sky, and a surging aura like ocean waves rolled around, creating a straight white wake with the point of the blade's descent as its basis.
However, the girl in the center of the armor couldn't help but frown.
The feel was a bit off.
As the dust slowly dispersed, Uchiha Hikari looked over and saw a slender figure standing in front of the unconscious Namikaze Minato, holding up a hand.
The mountain-like blade was quietly frozen in place.
Between the hand and the blade was a thin distance, yet it was like an insurmountable chasm.
"What a lot of trouble."
Sawara Kiri sighed, trying to avoid the other party's gaze, and observed the girl's appearance, instinctively frowning:
"Hmm? An unfamiliar Uchiha."
"And..."
"Mangekyo Sharingan?"
