Boom!
Once again, dozens of Sand ninja were crushed into pulp beneath the onslaught of Gold Dust.
Seeing this, Chiyo gritted her teeth and pulled out a scroll.
[Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Collection!]
Ten puppets dressed in white robes appeared before Chiyo. Each one was different, unique in its own characteristics, looking particularly eerie.
After summoning the puppets, Chiyo charged directly at Mirai Uchiha.
Suddenly, a golden flash sliced through the air—"Your opponent is me."
[Rasengan!]
Minato Namikaze appeared before Chiyo, his hand already spinning a Rasengan as he lunged forward to strike.
Though deeply shocked that Mirai Uchiha could wield Magnet Release—a Kekkei Genkai—he knew this wasn't the time to be stunned.
Therefore, the moment he spotted Chiyo, Minato activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared directly in front of her.
[Puppet Technique: Three-Puppet Formation Suction Collapse!]
Chiyo manipulated three puppets to stack into a triangular formation. A powerful whirlwind surged forth, pulling Minato into the center of the formation of puppets.
Just as Chiyo was about to command the other puppets to attack, Minato flickered once more and vanished.
"You can control ten puppets at once?"
Minato looked at Chiyo but did not rush to attack.
Puppet masters were known for their endless variety of techniques, and Chiyo was especially famous among them.
A single careless wound might lead to deadly poisoning.
Minato was well aware of his advantage. Before uncovering Chiyo's weakness, all he needed to do was stall her and prevent her from interfering with Mirai.
After all, the advantage lies with me now!
"Pakura, take some people and stop Mirai Uchiha."
"As for the rest…retreat!"
Chiyo clenched her teeth and shouted her orders loudly.
She had originally planned to withdraw anyway; now she had even more reason not to keep fighting Konoha.
Rasa was dead. And on the opposing side stood someone wielding a Mangekyo Sharingan and capable of using Magnet Release—a rare Kekkei Genkai.
Continuing this fight would only result in greater casualties.
"I understand."
Pakura led over a dozen elite ninja charging directly toward Mirai Uchiha.
The remaining Sunagakure shinobi scattered in disarray, retreating toward their village.
[Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!]
Dozens of high-temperature fireballs hurtled toward Mirai Uchiha, instantly drying out every plant along their path and leaving them wilted in seconds.
Mirai controlled his Gold Dust to block the fireballs.
But in the next instant, the superheated flames melted through the Gold Dust wall, leaving behind numerous holes.
"Tch!"
"It's useless."
Pakura sneered coldly.
Her Kekkei Genkai wasn't something you could simply block.
And even if they somehow managed to block it, the intense heat would instantly evaporate all moisture in the surrounding area!
"Interesting."
Watching the incoming fireball of searing heat, Mirai Uchiha revealed a faint smile on his face.
The next moment, his pair of Mangekyo Sharingan eyes began radiating an incredibly terrifying ocular power.
Cold, sinister chakra combined with his ocular power, forming a half-body skeleton around Mirai's body.
Then, veins and flesh began spreading across the skeleton's body as it rapidly grew taller.
Finally, the originally several-meter-tall skeleton had grown to dozens of meters tall within moments, gaining flesh and simultaneously being covered by armor plating.
A massive crimson Susanoo now loomed over the battlefield.
Pakura's pride—her Scorch Release—struck the surface of Susanoo like a fleeting spark, vanishing instantly without leaving a trace.
"What is this thing? It's so huge, so terrifying!"
"So oppressive... as if it were a demon god from hell itself!"
"Just how much more power does Lord Mirai have yet to unleash? He fought for so long earlier and still has this much strength?"
"Never seen anything like this before. What exactly is going on here?"
"This kind of power... can it truly belong to a human?"
The Konoha ninjas were shocked beyond measure upon seeing Mirai Uchiha summoning his Susanoo.
Even standing behind the colossal entity, they felt their bodies trembling slightly.
Even if this gigantic war god simply remained motionless for them to attack, they felt completely at a loss about where to begin.
All the Konoha ninja shared the same thought simultaneously—
Thank goodness Mirai Uchiha was on their side; otherwise, they wouldn't have known how to fight against someone whose size could rival the tailed beasts.
The Sunagakure ninja were equally horrified, some rear-guard units responsible for covering their comrades' retreat frozen stiff in place.
Many shinobi just dropped their weapons to the ground, their legs giving out as they knelt helplessly.
"T-This has to be a joke, right? Are we really supposed to fight against something like this?"
"Heh-heh-heh... In the face of such power, can kunai, explosive tags, or senbon even do anything meaningful?"
"This thing in front of us... somehow feels even scarier than when One-Tail went berserk!"
"Damn it... stop messing with us already!"
Some Suna ninja hurled explosive tags, kunai, and other ninja tools toward the Susanoo, while others formed hand seals and launched a barrage of coordinated Ninjutsu attacks at the monstrous figure.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions kept erupting beneath the lower legs of the Susanoo, yet it stood firm without moving an inch.
Witnessing this sight, the Sand ninja who had refused to give up finally faced reality and fell into complete despair.
But what terrified them even more was...
Right before their eyes, the giant Susanoo slowly drew its long katana from its waist.
A crimson flash of light streaked through the battlefield, splitting the ground open with a massive gash.
Nearly a hundred Sand ninja were instantly reduced to dust in that single strike.
High above, Mirai Uchiha folded his arms across his chest, looking down at the ninja below like ants scurrying beneath his feet: "Did you see? This is the Third Power—Susanoo."
"The Divine Power of the Uchiha Clan!"
As his words faded, Mirai Uchiha activated the Susanoo, sending it charging into the crowd of Sand ninja. The earth shook wherever it went, and the Sand ninja scattered desperately like mere insects.
Watching this unfold, Mirai Uchiha raised the Susanoo's blade and swung it around in a wide arc.
The mighty blade aura shattered everything beneath it.
Two slashes!
More than five hundred elite Sand ninja left behind as rear guards lost their lives.
This demon god, appearing for the first time before their eyes, revealed fangs far fiercer than they had imagined!
"I'll kill you!"
Seeing their comrades die so suddenly, over a dozen elite ninja became enraged, their eyes bloodshot.
They leaped high into the air, rushing directly toward Mirai Uchiha's Susanoo.
Bang!
The towering Susanoo threw a punch. The dozen or so elite Sand ninja were smashed into red mist mid-air.
Pakura witnessed this scene, glancing fearfully at Mirai Uchiha floating in the sky with a calm expression. Her last bit of rationality was devoured by terror.
Revenge, ninja code—everything was thrown aside. Only survival instincts drove her forward, leaving her no hesitation as she immediately turned and fled in the opposite direction with all her strength.
"Flecks of sand—none of you can measure up to even a sliver of my might."
Mirai Uchiha scoffed lightly and dispelled the Susanoo.
As he landed, silence fell over the battlefield. All the Konoha ninja gazed quietly at Mirai Uchiha.
Even those from the same faction regarded him with deep reverence.
The overwhelming power Mirai Uchiha had just displayed was simply too terrifying.
These ninja, born long after the era of Madara Uchiha, for the first time truly understood why the Uchiha Clan could become the most powerful clan in the Ninja World.
They also understood why the Sharingan was known as the ultimate kekkei genkai.
Such godlike power now stood unmatched in an age where the Senju Clan had fallen.
