Chiyu did not need to actually unleash Susanoo. He could see its form within his mind.
Its entire body was an inky black yet blood-red at the same time, black and red interwoven in an awe-inspiring shape. Faintly, there flowed arcs of lightning as well as a glow like burning magma!
Towering and imposing, peerless and domineering, it was filled with an intense fighting spirit and killing intent, as though black flames were surging and swirling over the giant war-god's body!
That savage black-red chakra first materialized in the form of ever-growing chakra bones, and then swiftly grew flesh and skin, even sporting…
A coat of chakra armor!
Likewise deep as night in color, bizarrely red like blood, the black-and-red palette merged into one, covering Susanoo completely—fully arming this great war-god giant with both offense and defense, granting it unimaginably terrifying power!
"It started right off at Susanoo's second form?"
The first form of Susanoo had only a skeletal chakra frame. In the second form, it gained flesh, skin, and even a layer of chakra armor!
A second-form Susanoo possessed its user's personal, exclusive chakra armaments! For instance, Shisui's was the spiral sword, Itachi's the Yata Mirror and Totsuka Blade, Madara's was the chakra greatsword, Sasuke's the bow of Ame no Makakoyomi.
As for Chiyu himself…
In his second-form jet-black Susanoo, within that massive figure's arms, its fists clamped tightly—and at last, two chakra armaments of his own began to take shape. In the right hand, it was a baleful, murderous chakra sword named:
Ten-Taba Zaimetsu Ken (十束罪灭剑, "Ten Bundles Sword of Sin's Annihilation")
The blade seemed forged from black-and-red crystals—razor-sharp, darkly shaded, scattered with jagged thorns. Within it lay sealed thunder and karmic fire, radiating the violent power of judgment and purification!
If this "Ten-Taba Zaimetsu Ken" pierced an enemy, the sword's barbs would root into the body; one simply could not tear free! At the same time, it would release Chiyu's distinctive explosive lightning and crimson lotus flames!
Meanwhile, Susanoo's left-hand weapon was likewise an object exuding senses of binding, sealing, judgment, and cleansing: a chain named:
Chiibiki Zai-Bakusō (千引罪缚锁, "Thousand-Pull Shackles of Sin's Restraint")
Symbolizing an "inescapable power of judgment," it had the power to thoroughly ensnare and confine the enemy, sealing them wholly inside a so-called "realm of sin!"
Whether the right-hand "Ten-Taba Zaimetsu Ken" or the left-hand "Chiibiki Zai-Bakusō," both originated from mythic legends relating to sealing away and judging evil gods. The powers Susanoo awakened for Chiyu, too, precisely matched and continued his own core essence!
Chiyu nodded slightly.
Now equipped with Susanoo's might as well as those two exclusive chakra armaments, his strength soared further, rising explosively!
Shimura Danzo or the Root—time to wipe them all out, once and for all…
At the same time, following Chiyu's instructions, Konoha Village had been thrown into upheaval!
Many shinobi, even ordinary citizens, discovered signs that their family graves had been tampered with; horrified, they realized the remains of their loved ones had been stolen or defiled! Not to mention, Konoha's Police Force publicly declared that, through their investigation, they had exposed the Root's secret usage of corpses and children as sacrificial offerings for forbidden techniques, conducting inhumane human experiments. This news sent the entire village reeling!
Outrage boiled over, with waves of petitions demanding Shimura Danzo's execution and the uprooting of the entire Root, stirring tremendous unrest.
Meanwhile, in a remote corner of the village, at a small, unremarkable grave marker, Hatake Kakashi stared in shock at a hollow coffin with its occupant's remains missing—
He was furious, consumed by rage…
The name on the gravestone: Hatake Sakumo.
The Konoha White Fang, a hero of the village once revered by the legendary Sannin. He gave everything for the sake of the village, even his life, yet was ultimately met with shame and rebuke until he died by suicide. And now…
Even in death, he was defiled?
Kakashi asked himself:
Can you tolerate such an ending?
Can you accept such a reality?
Impossible to endure, impossible to accept!
He clenched his fists hard; his left Sharingan flared with a brilliant, fiery scarlet radiance!
Who could accept that?
His father was a hero of the village!
"Konoha's White Fang," once such a resonant title. His name resounded across the shinobi world, instilling fear wherever it was heard. Even the Sannin revered him. Yet, his final fate was suicide? And now, posthumous dishonor?
No one would have anticipated that. No one could truly imagine the behind-the-scenes machinations that led to that tragedy. Kakashi, meanwhile, had struggled on under the burden of this darkness, these painful memories.
But now, his father's grave had been dug up, his corpse stolen…
It was the last straw, the final blow.
In that instant, Kakashi found himself thinking of Uchiha Chiyu—that man's resolve might be the only genuine hope. This shinobi world…
Is far too corrupt and sordid.
One must resort to thunderous means to purge it!
From this moment on, Hatake Kakashi arrived at a decision.
Inside the Hokage's office:
Hiruzen Sarutobi was infuriated and exasperated to the extreme, on the brink of uncontrolled fury. Even Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado felt alarmed by his wrath.
They had followed Hiruzen for years, genuine confidants and comrades. Yet never had they seen him in such a rage.
"How did he promise me back then?! Said he would keep all actions hidden, gather his power unobtrusively, slay that bastard Uchiha Chiyu! And now?!"
"No results at all, and he's stirred the entire village into turmoil, chaos everywhere!"
"Look how many shinobi and villagers report their family graves being dug up, loved ones' remains stolen, plus the police are publicly spreading word it's all Danzo and the Root's doing!"
"You tell me, what am I supposed to do?!"
Koharu and Homura sighed.
"Hiruzen, I can understand your anger, but it's done—maybe calm down a bit…"
"Indeed, what's done is done. We have to find a way to contain it."
"That old Danzo, we know he's not doing all this on purpose. According to the Root's usual style, he must have tried everything to conceal it and keep out of sight. Who would have thought Uchiha Chiyu, that asshole, would discover it anyway…"
Koharu's eyes held a trace of fear.
"That man's eyes truly hold an unimaginable insight…
"Like a hound or vulture, keen and terrifying!"
"I believe Danzo did act carefully, but if there's even a faint gap, that man will track it down and uproot every secret…"
"Yes. And Danzo's apparently cooperating with Orochimaru, obtaining forbidden jutsu from Tobirama-sama's legacy—Edo Tensei…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen roared, "Edo Tensei or whatever else—fine, I once allowed him to research it but told him never to leak a single hint! Look at Orochimaru's fiasco—did Danzo learn nothing?!"
Koharu shook her head. "Hiruzen, at this point, that man Uchiha Chiyu has destroyed three Root bases one after another, slaughtered a lot of Root shinobi, and even captured Aburame Tatsuma. Even though he carried Danzo's cursed seal, it still couldn't withstand the Mangekyō Sharingan powers of Chiyu—"
"That we must abandon Danzo completely?"
