In that instant, blood-tears trickled from both of Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan eyes.
Coupled with his deathly pale face and the bloody streaks at the corner of his mouth, it was a sight particularly shocking to behold.
Susanoo had finally descended into the world!
The fabled power of utter destruction—lost in the ninja world for who knew how long—now manifested anew!
A towering, godlike giant form, emanating ferocious green chakra. Its hair seemed to flutter wildly, its flesh full and solid, and it was clad in a layer of tough, unyielding chakra armor. In its right hand, it wielded Susanoo's unique spiritual tool belonging to Shisui:
A Green Chakra Spiral Greatsword!
Shisui panted heavily for a few moments, then his ragged breathing stilled. He regained his composure and calm. With Susanoo out, his confidence surged that he would never lose to anyone.
Chiyu's brow knitted briefly. "As expected, Uchiha Shisui's awakened Susanoo... "Though this form has a chakra armor, it's not the Karasu-Tengu armor, so... "It's only Susanoo's Second Form, right?"
Observing Shisui's calm, self-assured expression, Chiyu curled his lips in a mocking sneer.
His hand clenched the Lightning Release: False Darkness Blade powered by his Lightning Release Chakra Mode…
Suddenly, he lunged with fierce penetration, thrusting to break through inch by inch!
Shisui's face changed dramatically!
"He can even pierce Susanoo's defense…"
He immediately pushed his Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular power to its limit, and the crevice Chiyu had just carved into Susanoo's armor swiftly sealed shut again.
Chiyu let out a cold snort. The lightning blade flared in an explosive burst.
A massive roar—enough to rip open a huge hole in Susanoo's chakra armor. Cracks spiderwebbed in every direction!
Shisui cursed silently, hastening to steer Susanoo's unique spiritual weapon—the green chakra spiral greatsword—down at Chiyu with a savage blow!
Chiyu instantly leapt back, deftly evading the strike.
The greatsword slammed into the ground, shaking land and sky, sending rubble and earth flying in all directions. The entire Naka River bank trembled, causing countless chunks of stone to topple into the rushing waters!
"So this is Susanoo?"
"Such terrifying power…"
Everyone was inwardly shaken.
But though Susanoo was hailed as invincible—a symbol of destruction—Shisui's ultimate trump card still failed to overpower Chiyu. On the contrary, Chiyu had already cracked its chakra armor, leaving a gaping fracture!
Distressed and furious, Shisui had to keep pouring chakra and ocular might into restoring Susanoo's armor. Such acts drained huge amounts of his energy and vision.
From the moment the Mangekyō awakened, the user's eyes were fated for darkness.
Therefore, even after it was unlocked, few dared casually summon its power. Let alone this "Third Power"—Susanoo!
Both Itachi and Shisui himself treated it as a last resort. In the original tale, Itachi only once used it against Sasuke in their fateful fight.
As for Sasuke…he moved from awakening Susanoo at the Five Kage Summit to beating Danzō, all in a single day. When it ended, his Mangekyō was nearly blind.
Without Tobi's transplant of Itachi's eyes, Sasuke would have lived on as a sightless man.
Shisui was no different: were it not for dire necessity, he'd never willingly resort to Susanoo.
Win or lose now, his Mangekyō Sharingan would be pushed ever closer to blindness…
Chiyu watched as the chakra armor of Susanoo re-formed, but only scoffed dismissively.
"Your Susanoo… so it's nothing special after all."
Shisui retorted coldly, "Uchiha Chiyu… you know nothing of Susanoo's true might!"
He focused his mind, letting the Mangekyō's glow intensify.
Like a martial god towering high, the green Susanoo parted its chest plate, unleashing a veritable barrage of green chakra arrows—like a storm of spears and missiles!
One of Shisui's exclusive Susanoo attacks.
Violent and nearly unavoidable, nigh unstoppable!
Green chakra arrows ripped through the air, blotting out the sky, locking down all avenues of Chiyu's escape!
Chiyu's blood-red eyes flashed again with their pinnacle insight; beneath the godlike speed of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he effortlessly evaded. The ones he couldn't dodge, he detonated with the False Darkness Blade!
Along the earth, massive craters exploded open, rubble and dust shot high, and the whole area shook.
But not a single arrow so much as grazed Chiyu.
"How… is that possible?!" Read complete version only at n0velfire.net
Shisui's face changed once more, filled with disbelief.
"Though Susanoo is formidable, once you opt for this method, you're just a giant turtle hiding in its green shell."
Chiyu lunged anew, swift as raging lightning, delivering another crushing blow!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Again, the Susanoo armor was torn by a gaping crater, cracks radiating outward.
Shisui roared, "It's useless, Uchiha Chiyu!
"Susanoo's defense is invincible!"
But Chiyu shook his head coldly.
"No jutsu in this world is perfect, nor defense absolute.
"Every technique has a flaw."
Chiyu's Sharingan glowed brilliantly.
His three tomoe spun fiercely, transforming at once into a striking six-point star:
Left-eye Mangekyō's ability…
From that six-pointed starlike Mangekyō, a radiant gleam shone, casting Uchiha Shisui's entire Susanoo within it. In an instant, it laid bare every weakness of Susanoo's structure!
Yes, Susanoo boasted near-invincible defense.
But no matter how durable an iron wall, there was always a weaker point.
The Kuebiko Eye of Supreme Insight could easily expose that single potential weak spot.
With a flicker, the left Mangekyō's six-point star brightened—Chiyu located Susanoo's most fragile zone!
He unleashed a full-power strike, fusing Lightning Release Chakra Mode and the False Darkness Blade at maximum output, pounding viciously into that point suffused by the six-point star's light!
Lightning instantly penetrated the armor, ripping straight through Susanoo's flesh and bone.
That area was obliterated in a chaotic explosion—instantly, half of Susanoo was blown to dust!
Shisui let out a ghastly shriek. Even though he was hiding within the "absolute defense," he too was struck by that explosion of lightning. One arm and half his torso were scorched black in an instant!
The unbearable agony racked him to his very soul.
He gave a final, anguished cry. The broken remnants of Susanoo collapsed, the enormous martial god figure crumbling away once and for all!
"That… that can't be…
"Susanoo was completely taken apart?!"
All at once, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, Koharu, Homura, Uchiha Fugaku—and Itachi, who was watching from nearby—were utterly dumbstruck. None of them could believe their eyes.
That man—Uchiha Chiyu—could he truly be…invincible?!
