The overwhelming pressure of the Complete Body Susano'o filled everyone with fear, and the battlefield fell into complete silence.
Only the crackling of the black flames of Amaterasu and the occasional groans of the wounded broke the suffocating silence.
Chiya stood on the forehead of the Susano'o, his crimson Mangekyō Sharingan coldly sweeping across the defeated Allied Forces below.
His gaze finally settled on two places.
One was the Third Raikage, who was struggling to climb out of a deep crater. The other was the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, who had suffered severe mental damage and lay unconscious on the ground.
"It's over."
Chiya's voice was not loud, yet it spread clearly across the battlefield through chakra, carrying unquestionable authority.
"This victory belongs to Konoha."
He controlled the Susano'o as the giant, demon like figure slowly bent down, its two enormous chakra hands reaching separately toward the Raikage in the crater and the Tsuchikage on the ground.
Seeing Chiya's actions, the Kumo nin and Iwa nin erupted once again.
"Stop!"
"Release Lord Raikage!"
"Protect Lord Tsuchikage!!"
"..."
Almost at the same time, dozens of furious roars came from the surviving Kumogakure and Iwagakure shinobi.
Although fear still gripped their hearts, their loyalty to their Kage and the honor of their villages overcame their fear of a godlike monster.
Dozens of Kumogakure Jonin burst forward with lightning flashing around their bodies, charging recklessly toward the giant hand reaching for the Raikage.
They threw kunai wrapped with explosive tags and unleashed their strongest Lightning Style jutsu, trying to stop the unstoppable force.
"Lightning Style, Thunder Tiger Massacre!"
"Lightning Style, Thunder Dragon Fang!"
"For the Raikage! Stop him!"
"..."
On the other side, nearly the same number of Iwagakure elites roared as they formed hand seals.
"Earth Style, Earth Flow Wall!"
"Earth Style, Rock Fist Jutsu!"
"We absolutely cannot let the Uchiha take Lord Tsuchikage away!"
"..."
Kunai, ninjutsu, and the flashes of explosive tags intertwined as they struck the giant hand of the Susano'o, but they were like raindrops falling on steel. Apart from creating tiny chakra ripples, they could not stop it in the slightest.
Chiya frowned slightly, not because the attacks were effective, but because he found them annoying.
"Stubborn fools."
He did not even change his movement. The Susano'o's other arm casually swept sideways.
It was not aimed specifically at the attackers. It simply brushed across the vast area ahead as if wiping away dust.
"Boom!!"
The violent wind and pure force generated by the massive arm instantly shaved several feet off the ground.
More than a dozen Kumogakure and Iwagakure Jonin at the front did not even have time to scream before they were crushed into bloody mist and scattered remains beneath the terrifying impact and overwhelming chakra.
The shinobi behind them were violently blown away by the shockwave. The sound of breaking bones rang out endlessly as they were thrown into the distance like rag dolls, their fate unknown.
That casual yet unbelievably cruel display instantly extinguished the will of every shinobi who had still intended to resist.
The giant hand of the Susano'o did not pause for even a moment. It tightly seized the struggling Raikage while the other hand scooped up the unconscious Tsuchikage.
"Urgh... Bastard!"
The Third Raikage struggled desperately inside the massive chakra hand. His Lightning Release Armor flashed wildly, but it could not loosen the restraint at all.
The intense humiliation and helplessness made his eyes feel as though they would burst.
On Konoha's side, everyone was left speechless by those thunderous methods and absolute power.
Namikaze Minato gripped his special kunai tightly, his eyes filled with shock and mixed emotions.
"This kind of power... has completely surpassed the realm of shinobi. Capturing a Kage... is as easy as reaching into your pocket."
A Konoha Jonin beside him muttered.
"Lord Minato... We... did we really win?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed the Adamantine Staff heavily against the ground, producing a deep thud.
His aged face was solemn, and deep within his eyes was unprecedented shock.
"The power of the Uchiha... has truly returned to this level."
"The era of the Senju and the Uchiha seems to have returned in another form..."
He murmured softly, his voice carrying both subtle concern and relief.
Danzo's single eye stared fixedly at the towering Susano'o, while his bandaged right hand trembled slightly with excitement.
Fear, jealousy, greed, fanaticism...
Countless emotions intertwined within his eyes.
"This is true power! Power capable of sweeping away everything and ruling everything! Uchiha... Uchiha Chiya!"
The darkness within his heart roared, yet on the surface he merely let out a cold snort before speaking quietly to Hiruzen beside him.
"Hiruzen, do you see it? This is the power that can guarantee Konoha absolute victory! It must be controlled, or..."
He did not finish the sentence, but his eyes had already said everything.
Hiruzen glanced at him coldly without agreeing.
"Danzo, put away those thoughts."
"Right now, he is Konoha's hero."
On the battlefield, Chiya controlled the Susano'o and raised the two Kage high into the air like trophies on display.
His gaze once again swept over the terrified remnants of the Allied Forces below, his voice as cold as eternal ice and carrying the judgment of a god.
"Anyone who refuses to submit to Konoha shall die!"
"Submit?"
"Submit to Konoha?!"
"..."
An Iwagakure Jonin with one arm missing knelt on the ground, staring at the captured Tsuchikage as he shouted in despair.
"We Iwagakure only have shinobi who die in battle. We have no cowards who surrender! Uchiha Chiya, don't even think..."
His words came to an abrupt stop.
A black flame instantly ignited on his body. It was silent, yet brought unbearable agony.
He did not even have time to let out a second scream before he was burned into a pile of human shaped ashes within two or three seconds, which scattered away with the wind.
Amaterasu!
Chiya's left eye moved slightly. Wherever his gaze landed, black flames ignited simultaneously on dozens of Kumogakure shinobi whose eyes still held hatred and defiance. Amid desperate screams, they were reduced to nothing.
Precise. Merciless. As effortless as crushing ants.
This method of slaughter, beyond anyone's understanding, completely shattered the final psychological defenses of the Allied Forces.
"M... Monster!"
"Don't kill me! I surrender! I submit to Konoha!"
"Even Lord Raikage... What can we possibly do now?"
"Lord Tsuchikage... lost. We've all lost..."
"Spare us! Please spare us, my lord!"
"..."
The sounds of breakdown, pleading, and weapons clattering onto the ground echoed one after another.
The surviving Kumogakure and Iwagakure shinobi were quickly overcome.
Large groups fell to their knees, lowering their heads deeply and no longer daring to look at the demon like Susano'o or the godlike man within it.
Fear had completely conquered their will.
The Konoha shinobi watched the scene with equally complicated emotions.
The joy of victory was overshadowed by the shock and slight chill brought by such absolute power.
"We... won?"
A young Konoha Chunin muttered again in uncertainty.
"We won. Lord Chiya led us to victory..."
The companion beside him swallowed nervously as he looked at the Susano'o with awe, and even a trace of fear.
"That kind of power... is terrifying."
"Terrifying? But that very power saved us. It saved Konoha!"
An Uchiha clansman excitedly retorted, his face overflowing with pride and fanatical excitement.
"Look! This is the power of our Uchiha Clan! The power of Clan Head Chiya!"
"From today onward, who would dare look down on the Uchiha? Who would dare invade Konoha?"
"That's right! It's all thanks to Lord Chiya!!"
"..."
More and more Konoha shinobi began cheering. The excitement of surviving and their admiration for overwhelming strength gradually overcame their unease.
The cheers merged together, growing louder and louder.
"Lord Chiya is unbeatable!"
"Konoha will always win!"
"Uchiha! Uchiha!"
"..."
Namikaze Minato looked at the cheering crowd before turning toward Chiya inside the Susano'o, revealing a complicated smile.
"Ending war and bringing peace through absolute power... Can that path really work?"
He tightened his grip on his Flying Thunder God kunai, yet his eyes became even more determined.
"No matter what the future holds, at this moment, he truly is Konoha's savior."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and infused his voice with chakra so it spread across the battlefield.
"The war is not completely over! Konoha shinobi, remain alert, secure the prisoners, and treat the wounded!"
"Victory belongs to Konoha!"
His command gave the Konoha shinobi a clear leader once more, and they immediately began acting in an orderly manner.
As for Chiya, he seemed completely unmoved by the cheers and activity below.
He controlled the Susano'o while holding the two Kage who had completely lost the ability to resist, slowly descending toward the ground.
The enormous Complete Body Susano'o gradually disappeared.
When he landed lightly on the ground, he was holding the unconscious Ōnoki and the Third Raikage, whose chakra points had been sealed, leaving him unable to move even though he glared furiously.
He calmly looked toward Hiruzen Sarutobi, Namikaze Minato, and the others who were walking over.
"Third, Minato, I'll leave the cleanup to you."
His tone was calm, as though everything he had just done was nothing more than a trivial matter.
"Also, these two are Konoha's most valuable war trophies."
When Raikage A heard the words war trophies, he trembled with rage and roared.
"Uchiha Chiya! If you have the guts, let me go and fight me to the death! What kind of skill is relying on tricks!"
Chiya could not even be bothered to look at him. Instead, he gave instructions to Uchiha Tekkai and Uchiha Shisui, who had just arrived.
"Tekkai, Shisui, take a team and guard them closely. Where is the Sealing Team? Place the strongest seals on them."
"Yes, Clan Head!"
Tekkai answered excitedly.
"Understood, Teacher!"
Shisui looked at Chiya with admiration that almost overflowed from his eyes.
He quickly directed the clansmen forward while the Sealing Team led by Uzumaki Sango immediately got to work, placing one sealing talisman after another onto the two Kage.
Danzo looked at the two sealed Kage, a sharp light flashing in his single eye as he silently plotted something.
He spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Chiya, you've done well. The village will remember this achievement."
His tone carried an obvious attempt to win Chiya over.
Chiya merely replied with a simple "Mm."
His gaze passed over everyone and looked toward the distant battlefield that was still covered in smoke.
"The Allied Forces of the two great shinobi villages have already collapsed."
He spoke slowly, his voice carrying unquestionable resolve.
"Next, send people to notify the four great shinobi villages. Give them three days!"
"Three days from now, if they have not submitted to Konoha, then I will personally pay them a visit!"
His words made every senior member of Konoha present feel a chill run through their hearts.
