In the center of the volcanic eruption, Shisui, guided by the Fourth Tail, endured a large amount of area damage.
The ground, the sky, and the surroundings—everywhere was affected by this blow. Even the air seemed to carry a scorching heat like Boil Release.
This attack not only affected Shisui but also impacted a large portion of the battlefield.
The concentration of ninjas was quickly scattered, making this area a no-go zone.
The next moment, in the sea of magma and rain, a giant in green armor stood up. His height was slightly taller than the Fourth Tail, and behind him were lifelike wings.
On his back, two enormous swords were drawn from their sheaths and gripped tightly in his hands.
The Fourth Tail's eyes locked on Shisui, who was standing on the giant's forehead. Even though the magma was fiercely burning and consuming the giant's body, this giant triggered a reflex in the Fourth Tail, reminding it of a certain domineering man.
A pitch-black chakra sphere quickly gathered in front of the Fourth Tail's open mouth.
Its eyes fixed intensely on the giant's movements, as it furiously gathered its own chakra and the surrounding natural energy into that black sphere.
The signature attack of the Tailed Beast!
The Four-Tails even intentionally added natural energy to enhance its power.
When the Tailed Beast Bomb was launched, the massive body of the Four-Tails was pushed back a distance. But faster than it was, was the giant with emerald green skin.
Three huge green tomoe intertwined, forming a spinning windmill, which was thrown out by the giant using its sword.
A long-range attack only usable by Susanoo in its second stage or above.
Shisui began with three.
The three tomoe, like shurikens, sliced through the air, making a sharp whistling sound as they spun toward the Four-Tails.
Boom! Official source is novel⚑fire.net
The frontmost tomoe collided with the Tailed Beast Bomb launched by the Four-Tails, followed by the second and third tomoe.
In the end, the power within the tomoe exploded the Tailed Beast Bomb. The violent explosion created a shockwave, instantly sweeping everything around away.
The dark sky was cleared, creating a circular hole.
The sunlight poured through the hole like a beam, illuminating the giant Susanoo and the Four-Tails, making them stand out on the battlefield.
In the dust, the massive body of the Four-Tails moved with an agility that didn't match its size, quickly closing the distance between itself and the giant.
A massive fist broke through the dust cloud and slammed down on the giant's face from above.
The armor on Susanoo's face shattered and twisted almost instantly, and the massive body staggered and fell to the side.
But in the next moment, the giant instantly turned into a mirage, disappearing before the Four-Tails' eyes.
Another giant appeared behind the Four-Tails in what seemed like teleportation, and the twin blades in its hands slashed at the Four-Tails in a split second.
The Four-Tails' back instantly showed crisscrossed, brutal sword cuts, resembling an X. The force of the sword strikes caused the Four-Tails to scream in agony, its cries echoing through the world.
The Four-Tails' eyes instantly turned red, its fury and wild intent even affecting Oozaru, the beast inside.
Compared to the vast will and spirit of the Tailed Beasts, the will of humans is like the difference between a candle's flame and a bonfire.
Unless the Tailed Beast restrains itself, once in contact or corrupted by it, a person will immediately be affected and fall into its influence.
For the Tailed Beasts, such severe injuries would completely enrage them.
"Sorry, but I need to resolve this trouble quickly."
Shisui, embedded and protected in the giant's forehead, apologized softly upon seeing the enraged Four-Tails. In the next moment, he launched a fierce attack.
At this stage, the Susanoo's suppression of the Four-Tails wasn't just crushing; it was at least firmly in control, maintaining the upper hand.
As long as the battle didn't drag on for too long, victory was definitely in Shisui's hands.
Two Yasaka Magatama appeared at the tip of the giant's sword and were thrown at the Four-Tails, striking its body.
The immense force caused the Four-Tails to tumble wildly through the lava, rolling several times.
When the Four-Tails, dazed, tried to find Shisui, a giant green figure with wings swooped down from the sky like an eagle, aiming straight at the Four-Tails' head.
Just as the Four-Tails raised its head, the green giant collided with it, causing a massive impact like a meteor hitting the ground, sending shockwaves across the battlefield.
The clash of these two enormous beings, even a simple collision, caused destruction on the level of a forbidden technique for the ninjas watching.
Let alone the intense battle that was now altering the terrain multiple times.
The ground shook once more with seismic waves, dust and lava soaring into the air, once again blocking the view of the two colossal figures.
When everything settled, the central area unexpectedly became eerily quiet.
The mix of lava and dust fell, revealing the battlefield's center.
The emerald-green giant sat atop the Four-Tails' body, with two long swords driven deep into its flesh, one in front and one behind, pinning it firmly to the ground.
The Four-Tails seemed to have lost the strength to resist, allowing the giant to sit on top of it.
Its eyes, however, strained to glance at the emerald-green giant, its mouth opening and closing as if trying to say something in confusion.
"It's not your eyes, but your arrows and blades!"
Shisui gasped for breath, activating the full power of his Mangekyō Sharingan for the second time.
The first time was against the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai user with the whirlpool-shaped face. Their Wood Release was so powerful that even Shisui, with his Mangekyō Sharingan fully activated, struggled greatly.
The second time was now. Compared to the first, he was more skilled in using this power. Though the fully tailed Four-Tails was strong, it did not cause him any fatal injuries.
However, this time, he was not only relying on Mangekyō's power but also the strength granted by Kagetsu.
Following Kagetsu's instructions and communicating with the Mangekyō Sharingan, which had been forged into a spiritual tool, Shisui had connected with another version of himself within the Mangekyō.
Since his Mangekyō Sharingan was based on genjutsu, and his ninja talents were particularly strong in Yin Release techniques, the new power Kagetsu had granted him—or more accurately, the power he had desired—was an even more potent genjutsu ability.
He had lost the long-term control over the mind with the power of Izanagi, but in return, he gained the ability to guide his opponents into genjutsu during battle.
The conditions for activating genjutsu were not limited to the Mangekyō alone.
Ninja techniques, weapons, and even a simple movement or sound could instantly affect and interfere with an opponent's mental awareness.
All that was needed was for them to have seen his Mangekyō Sharingan!
After that, it was as if they were under his control, with their five senses clouded and their minds receiving false information.
