Without a word, Fugaku lunged forward. Madara's expression shifted slightly at the sight but the next moment, he laughed uncontrollably.
"Hahahaha!"
Suddenly, a blue giant seemed to rise from his body, emitting an ocular power so extreme that it firmly suppressed Fugaku.
Before Fugaku could even resist, Madara was enveloped in blue Chakra. His Susanoo stood two hundred meters tall, four times the size of Fugaku's Susanoo. Clad in layered armor and wielding a longsword, it possessed an extra head and an additional pair of arms on its back compared to a standard Susanoo.
Perfect Susanoo: Two-Faced Form!
Boom!
With just a slight movement, it caused the ground to tremble incessantly.
Fugaku looked at the towering giant before him with a grave expression, even showing a hint of suicidal resolve.
Others could only see its outward size, but Uchiha could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained within this Susanoo. It was as if it were a real person. Chakra flowed within it just like in a human body, and it likely possessed the power to use Ninjutsu just like a human.
The black-bodied, orange-patterned half-body Susanoo gripped its longsword, facing off against the blue Susanoo. The orange patterns across its body surged toward the longsword like a flowing stream, causing the blade to condense with a golden glow.
"Come! Entertain me to your heart's content!"
Madara stood within the brow of the blue Susanoo, looking down from his high vantage point.
The temperature continued to climb. After only three seconds, Fugaku lunged forward. Like a child challenging an adult, he gripped his black and gold longsword and slashed toward the blue Susanoo's brow, aiming for Madara with every ounce of his strength.
The blue Susanoo remained calm, drawing its longsword. The mere aura from the blade made Fugaku feel the aura of death. But he did not retreat, his expression grave to the extreme.
"Kill!!!"
His momentum and technique reached their peak at this moment, merging to exert 120% of their power.
His Susanoo's longsword reached the front of the blue Susanoo, intending to slay Madara at its brow.
At that very moment, the blue Susanoo, which had been drawing its sword finally unsheathed it completely. The black and gold longsword collided with the blue longsword.
Boom!!!
Everything in the vicinity—even the ground itself—was uprooted and blown away.
Amidst the chaos, the black Susanoo was sent flying backward like a ragdoll. The next moment, while still in mid-air, the black Susanoo shattered, leaving only the black and gold longsword behind. But that black and gold longsword depended on the black Susanoo's existence. As if with a delay, the longsword also gradually dissipated.
Only Fugaku remained, crashing into a small hill. His bones were cracked, his internal organs were damaged, and he coughed up blood incessantly.
He looked at the blue Susanoo ahead, which remained completely unaffected. His expression was contorted and his body trembled, yet his fighting spirit was still fierce.
Madara controlled the two-hundred-meter-tall Susanoo and walked toward him. In just ten steps, he crossed a distance of a thousand meters.
After dozens of seconds, Fugaku still could not get up. Embedded in the hillside, he could only watch helplessly.
Madara stood at the blue Susanoo's brow, looking down disdainfully. "As the strongest of the Uchiha clan, you are quite impressive."
Fugaku was stunned. "The strongest?"
For some reason, he inexplicably recalled the moment he had gone to Hiromi to request permission to stop Madara.
Hiromi had smiled. "Fugaku, I didn't expect you to still have such a hot-blooded heart. Go then, with the conviction to die."
At the time, he had found Hiromi's words strange. He had intended for Hiromi to be the Uchiha clan's trump card, while he himself was to be a disposable pawn to delay and test Madara, he had even prepared to use Izanagi.
But looking at it now...
"Hot-blooded, huh... Hahaha... Cough! Cough cough!!!"
Ignoring the blood he spat out, as if experiencing a final burst of life, Fugaku's upper body broke free.
An incomparable frenzy surged in his eyes as he shouted, "My Uchiha clan is destined for glory!"
Because they had an invincible Tyrant who saw through everything!
"Hahahahaha!"
Madara frowned and slashed down with his sword, bringing the annoying voice to an abrupt halt.
—
The Allied Shinobi Forces.
News of Kumogakure's surrender and Shisui locating and killing the White Zetsu quickly reached Sunagakure and the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
The ninjas' expressions were grim. They hadn't expected Kumogakure to actually dare to betray them, relying on the protection of the cowardly Uchiha who didn't even dare to take the field?
Thus, they waited for Sunagakure to lead the charge so they could annihilate the Uchiha clan and the traitorous Kumogakure together.
But to their surprise, upon seeing a dozen Uchiha charging toward them, Baki immediately raised his hands in surrender and shouted, "I, Acting Kazekage Baki, announce that Sunagakure is siding with the Uchiha clan!"
The Sunagakure high-ranking officials were stunned, but they too quickly reacted.
Setting everything else aside, if Shisui could help kill those white monsters, once they were safe, wouldn't it be easy to launch a sneak attack on the Uchiha clan and claim victory then?
They could even use the Uchiha clan to wipe out the Allied Shinobi Forces behind them. Once the Allied Shinobi Forces were gone and the Uchiha were dead, wouldn't the world belong to Sunagakure?
Thus, one by one, they immediately raised their hands in surrender, shouting, "Sunagakure joins the Uchiha clan!"
The Sunagakure ninjas were all stunned. They hadn't received any notice beforehand.
But they weren't people of great courage. Having betrayed others so often, their moral baseline was low. Without any notification, they all tacitly followed the Sunagakure high-ranking officials and raised their hands in surrender. After all, staying alive was most important.
Baki felt victory was within his grasp, thinking the Uchiha would stop and then order Sunagakure to turn and kill the Allied Shinobi Forces together.
Although the Uchiha clan was weak now, at least they had been able to withstand the Allied Shinobi Forces, including himself and Kumogakure, before.
But unexpectedly, the response was fierce killing intent.
"Kill!" Shisui transformed into black lightning and shouted coldly.
He could have killed them ruthlessly without saying a word, but he disdained doing so.
Baki's face changed drastically, his eyes nearly bursting as he shouted frantically, "Why won't you accept Sunagakure's surrender!"
This was irrational!
Shisui didn't answer him, bypassing him and charging into the Sunagakure ranks, killing countless people.
Raichi, clad in blue lightning, paused beside Baki for a moment and sneered, "You're a fool yourself, yet you take us for fools too?"
Baki turned his head stiffly, only to see the blue lightning charging in to slaughter.
For a time, screams echoed behind him as blood splattered everywhere.
The pungent smell of blood, living people falling and turning into lifeless corpses...
These scenes were completely different from what he had envisioned, causing a massive mental shock to Baki.
Why...
Shisui... is so strong...
How does he know Storm Release Chakra Mode?
What is going on with these Uchiha?
Why do they all have the Mangekyo?
If they had told him, he wouldn't have had any thoughts of betrayal from the start.
That's it! These Uchiha were plotting against him!
"Uchiha!!!" Surging hatred erupted from Baki.
Inabi suddenly turned, and a suffocating swamp covered Baki's entire body, making him struggle in pain uncontrollably.
"Let me do it." Tekka said.
Inabi agreed.
His Mangekyo, Dorotabo, only gave people one kind of painful death—suffocation.
While Tekka's Mangekyo, Ōmagatsuhi, was fear. It would condense Baki's fear into a monster and let the monster kill him. Only then would this fool who underestimated the Uchiha clan receive his due punishment.
Baki was terrified and wanted to flee. He knew that the genjutsu of the Mangekyo and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan were not on the same level at all.
But he didn't know that he had already fallen into a genjutsu. He fled pathetically within the genjutsu he believed to be reality. But every time he saw hope, an Uchiha would appear.
Once, twice...
After only nine times, Baki would scream in terror and run away at the mere sight of anything related to the Uchiha. Fear was already deeply etched into his heart.
When he came to his senses and saw the thousands of Sunagakure ninjas' corpses lying on the ground, forming pools of blood that stained the grass and trees, and saw those pairs of Mangekyo eyes fixed on him.
"No... no... no..."
"No!"
He fled in terror but in the next second, pitch-black substances appeared on his body, condensing into the thing he feared most—a monster with countless Uchiha heads, arms, and legs.
"No!"
"Don't come over here..."
"Don't come over here!!!"
Baki was caught by it, slowly bitten and chewed.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
A sharp scream rang out, audible even to the Kumogakure ninjas in the distance, making their blood run cold.
Even the Mangekyo users at the scene felt a bit creeped out.
"Tekka, it seems the position of Minister of Justice belongs to no one but you."
"That's terrifying."
"You should use this ability less. I can't even eat now."
