Before the Five-Tails Jinchūriki Han could even react, Ning Feng had already appeared in front of him without the slightest warning.
Ning Feng's speed was simply too fast—so fast that it was impossible to track. Even for a Jinchūriki like Han, it was no exception.
"So fast!"
By the time the Five-Tails Jinchūriki Han fully came to his senses, a gigantic golden warrior had already appeared before him without any warning.
This golden warrior wielded an enormous, razor-sharp long blade and was clad in massive armor, resembling a towering giant samurai. With a single swift motion, it slashed viciously toward Han.
A blinding arc of light fell. Caught completely off guard, Han could only watch helplessly as the massive blade descended, leaving him no time to react at all.
"Su—Susanoo!?"
Worthy of being one of Iwagakure's elite aces, the Five-Tails Jinchūriki Han still managed to flash away at the very instant the blade fell, barely avoiding the ferocious strike of Susanoo.
But only at this moment did Han fully realize the truth—Ning Feng's use of the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear here wasn't actually meant to kill him…
It was aimed at the Xuanyuan Group behind him!
Susanoo's great blade was simply too massive. When it cleaved downward, it was as though it split the heavens themselves. The terrifying blade edge instantly sliced all the Iwagakure ninjas in its path into clouds of blood mist.
One had to know that the Iwagakure ninjas who had arrived here were all elites who had survived countless battles.
They were elites among elites—super ninjas among super ninjas!
Yet even these elite ninjas were completely unable to withstand the horrifying power of Ning Feng's Susanoo, and could only watch as their bodies violently shattered apart.
"So this… is the power of Susanoo!?"
Many of the Iwagakure ninjas present were seeing Susanoo for the first time, and they were instantly shaken to the core by this godlike power of the Uchiha clan.
However, before they could even finish being shocked, they saw pitch-black markings begin to surge wildly across the surface of the gigantic golden Susanoo. A dense, overwhelming aura instantly spread outward from Ning Feng at the center, sweeping and crushing everything around it.
Especially the golden warrior's eyes, which showed faint signs of toad-like transformation—it had clearly entered Sage Mode!
That's right.
Sage Mode Susanoo!
In the original Naruto story, after manifesting Susanoo, Uchiha Sasuke had once relied on Jūgo's power to enter a Sage Mode–enhanced Susanoo state.
In the original canon, although Susanoo had many different forms, among them, the Sage form was already considered one of the strongest variants of Susanoo!
Of course, this was Ning Feng's very first attempt at entering Sage Mode while inside Susanoo.
Before this, he had never tried allowing Susanoo itself to enter Sage Mode.
Even so, on his very first attempt, Ning Feng succeeded.
The moment he entered this state, aside from noticing that his Susanoo had grown significantly larger—now dozens of meters tall, with himself standing atop Susanoo's head—the entire construct underwent earth-shaking changes.
The most obvious change was that a terrifying layer of natural energy had attached itself to Susanoo's surface. This natural energy was incredibly dense—dense to the extreme.
In addition, the surface of Susanoo was now covered in countless black markings, making the entire construct look grotesque and horrifying.
Yet compared to these outward changes, what Ning Feng felt most clearly was that after Susanoo entered Sage Mode, every movement he made felt as though he and Susanoo had completely fused into one.
With just a single thought from Ning Feng, Susanoo would instantly respond, moving as naturally as his own limbs.
He even had the distinct sensation that he himself had become a giant, while the entire world had shrunk beneath his feet.
And just as Ning Feng was experiencing the Sage Mode Susanoo, the surrounding Iwagakure ninjas who had come to kill him—along with the Xuanyuan Group, and even the Five-Tails Jinchūriki—were all completely terrified.
They had long known that Ning Feng possessed Susanoo and that he was extremely difficult to deal with…
But no one could have imagined that Ning Feng's Susanoo would be this terrifying. Its sheer might was so overwhelming that it left people utterly speechless.
Suddenly, just as the Five-Tails Jinchūriki was about to act, his body trembled violently.
Inside his consciousness, just as Han was preparing to make a move, the Five-Tails beast within him began to shiver uncontrollably, its face filled with fear.
"Th-this is Sage Mode Susanoo… I once saw it from afar on Uchiha Madara…"
Hearing this, Han's expression changed drastically.
Especially when the Five-Tails mentioned Uchiha Madara, it was even worse.
After all, in the entire ninja world, aside from the terrifying title of the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, it was the existence of Uchiha Madara that struck fear into the hearts of countless ninja villages and tailed beasts alike.
"Quick, retreat! We are no match for Uchiha Feng at all!"
Sensing that something was terribly wrong, Han immediately roared at the Iwagakure ninjas beside him.
This time, although the Xuanyuan Group—known as ninja hunters—had joined them, anyone who could make even his Five-Tails beast tremble in fear had to be unimaginably terrifying!
The Five-Tails Jinchūriki Han simply couldn't comprehend it.
Unfortunately, before the Iwagakure ninjas could retreat, Ning Feng had already controlled the Sage Mode Susanoo and slashed out with a single strike.
Yes—one strike.
Just one seemingly casual strike.
Yet this single strike was like Pangu splitting the heavens and earth apart. A massive, horrifying shockwave surged forth, carrying an inescapable, hysterically destructive power that annihilated everything in its path in an instant…
Countless plants and trees, along with the Iwagakure ninjas, the Five-Tails Jinchūriki Han, and the Xuanyuan Group, were all erased in a single moment—reduced to nothingness, exploding into scattered equipment, materials, and loot…
When Ning Feng finally withdrew his blade, before him—or rather, before the towering Susanoo—there was nothing left at all…
Only scorched devastation remained, along with a gigantic ravine stretching several kilometers, carved out by the terrifying sword aura.
"As expected of Sage Mode Susanoo."
Calmly sheathing his blade, Ning Feng dismissed Susanoo and descended to the ground. At that moment, his cold Mangekyō Sharingan swept across the land, flashing with a chilling glint of light.
