New Power
Sakura Haruno's light green eyes reflected the equally light green figure of the giant before her.
My heart is surging with emotion.
While this level of power is not quite up to par with the more advanced "Majestic Attire God Warrior," it is still quite considerable.
"During my mission to the Land of Lightning, I encountered some issues... after which my Yin Release achieved some breakthroughs."
"Therefore, this technique has also undergone some new changes."
She explained a few words to Sasuke.
Sasuke.
The connection between Yin Release and the Sharingan is so close that progress in Yin Release training is directly reflected in the abilities of the Sharingan.
The boy tilted his head back and carefully examined the giant before him.
"It's bigger and more detailed than before."
He said firmly.
But the changes are not just about body shape and appearance.
The Chakra emanating from the clone continued to surge out and flow into Susanoo.
A massive amount of Yin Release Chakra gathered in the green giant's palm, condensing into a gigantic longsword!
The giant sword was over a hundred meters long, with a fierce and imposing aura. Its blade had a bizarre shape, as if it were formed by a twisted spiral of steel bars, eventually coiling into a cone-shaped, bladeless spiral sword.
"Weapons...?"
Sasuke murmured.
Perhaps because she wasn't of Uchiha blood, Sakura Haruno's Susanoo always seemed slightly mismatched. Even though she could amplify the Susanoo Valley to an extremely magnificent and powerful level, the green giant still had no weapons and could only fight bare-handed.
In contrast, Sasuke, who is of orthodox Uchiha lineage, already possessed a complete set of weapons for Susanoo even before he could fully condense the body of Susanoo.
It now appears that Sakura Haruno has filled the last gap in her Susanoo, and the only thing separating her from the ultimate form of Susanoo in the Uchiha Chronicles is the lack of wings.
"To be able to achieve this level of skill..."
Knowing the difficulty and power of this technique, Sasuke was no less shocked than Naruto. "Hmph, as expected of Sakura Uchiha!"
Seeing his non- Uchiha comrade achieve such a level, even Sasuke, who was deeply discouraged by her, couldn't help but have this question:
Is the glory of the Uchiha based on the Sharingan?
Does bloodline really determine everything?
Sasuke had also thought about this.
At least for Sakura Haruno, this doesn't hold true.
"After acquiring the new weapon, Susanoo gained several more attack forms." The Uchiha... clone's voice came calmly from above, "I found Shisui's information at Sasuke's house and roughly deduced how to use the new techniques..."
As she wrote, she demonstrated the changes brought about by the new weapon to the two of them.
The spiral sword is enormous, and a simple slash has the unparalleled power to split mountains and shatter rocks. Its unique spiral blade can also rotate at high speed, turning into a drill that can penetrate anything, making it indestructible in its charges and thrusts!
It can also be combined with Fire Style to become a high-speed spinning giant sword of flame, inflicting high-temperature burns.
There is also a move called "Susanoo: Tsukumo," which has a strange name. Its actual effect is to launch hundreds or thousands of Chakra arrows from the sword to carpet-bomb targets at a distance.
The fourth move is unrelated to the new weapon, the Spiral Sword.
This move also has a name, called "Yasaka Tomoe," which allows you to condense four windmill-shaped Tomoe in your hand and shoot them out like throwing darts. Compared to the Secret Technique "Tsukumo," the power of this move is concentrated on the Tomoe, making it more destructive.
"These are the new techniques of Susanoo."
The clone watched as the Yasaka Tomoe struck the distant earth, causing a deafening explosion. Only after the earth-shattering blow subsided did it slowly speak.
In the distance, the smoke and billowing dust gradually dissipated.
What appeared before Sasuke and Naruto was a training ground ravaged by Susanoo's relentless attacks.
The huge wooden target that had been stuck in the ground had long since disappeared, leaving only a deep, unfathomable crater in the once flat ground. The uprooted soil was scorched black, with wisps of white smoke rising from it.
So strong!
Naruto and Sasuke both remained silent.
"I didn't use the full power of Susanoo... because that would have created too much of a commotion," the clone continued. "Besides, I'm not very good at Fire Style."
"You just need to know that I have these few skills. In actual combat, apart from using this spiral sword for close to mid-range fighting, I basically won't use any other moves."
She doesn't really care for long-range Ninjutsu like "Susanoo: Tsukumo" and "Yasaka Tomoe" because she has stronger techniques like Wind Blade Torrent and other Water Release and Ice Release.
After finishing, the clone dispelled Susanoo and landed on the ground.
"I remember... above Susanoo, you have an even more powerful technique called 'Majestic Attire God Warrior,' right?" Sasuke frowned and asked.
He could never forget the magnificent Majestic Attire God Warrior shone so brightly in the other world.
"Even more powerful than that?" Naruto asked incredulously.
"Hmm." The clone nodded solemnly.
"The Majestic Attire God Warrior is a combination of Senjutsu and the Mangekyō, further incorporating the power of Ice Release and Water Release Secret Technique. Compared to a regular Susanoo, it surpasses it in both power and defense!"
Seeing Naruto's expectant expression, she smiled apologetically.
"However, in terms of its attack method, it's nothing new, and it's too noisy, so I'll conserve my eye power and skip this move."
Sakura Haruno patted Naruto on the shoulder and laughed, "Alright, Naruto, I'll show you another time to feast your eyes!"
"Let Sasuke show us his skills first!"
Sasuke's ultimate move is also Susanoo.
--He skipped the somewhat embarrassing Chidori Demon Body Form.
Unlike Sakura Haruno, the purple giant behind Sasuke only has half a body and is not yet in its complete form.
The weapon he used was not a huge, single-handed spiral sword, but a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other.
"Sakura, look."
Naruto pulled Sakura Haruno along, pointing to the very distinctive bow and arrow spurs.
He appeared dull-witted, but possessed an exceptional talent for combat. He immediately recognized the ingenuity of the strangely shaped, disc-shaped giant bow: it could be used as a bow for long-range attacks or as a shield for close combat; the giant Chakra arrow in his hand could be fired from a distance or used as a longsword for close-quarters combat.
"Um."
Sakura Haruno looked over, pondered for a moment, and commented softly, "This weapon set is quite interesting... It's suitable for both close and long-range combat, and it's good at both offense and defense."
When Sasuke mastered this form of Susanoo, Sakura was already on her way to the Land of Lightning, so this was the first time Sakura had witnessed Sasuke's new power.
"This is Susanoo in its normal form," Sasuke said slowly as he merged into the giant's body.
He manipulated Susanoo, wielding it a few times with fierce and powerful movements, its roar like thunder, its power undeniable.
After demonstrating a ranged attack by drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, the black-haired boy continued, "Based on Susanoo, I can also incorporate the power of Lightning Release to create an even stronger technique..."
"Secret Technique - Takemikazuchi-no-Kami!"
A sudden burst of lightning and a dazzling blue light exploded across the training ground. Even with eyes closed, the intense light could still penetrate the eyelids and sting the eyes!
After a while, Sakura Haruno rubbed her tear-filled eyes and finally saw the changes on the field:
The purple giant donned a thick and imposing Lightning Release Armor, its powerful and awe-inspiring aura rushing towards them.
In the air, faint crackling sounds of ionized lightning could be heard, foreshadowing the danger of Sasuke's new technique.
The three of them involuntarily took a few steps back.
"An advanced form of the Chidori Demon Body...?"
Sakura Haruno narrowed her eyes.
The technique of Takemikazuchi-no-Kami is, in a sense, a sister technique to the Lightning Release technique of the Majestic Attire God Warrior.
Sasuke was greatly influenced by Sakura Haruno.
Even the development of Ninjutsu is full of the influence of young girls:
They both enjoy constantly developing and refining a technique, pushing it to new heights; they both enjoy fusing Susanoo with their most proficient Release Techniques to create their strongest moves.
--Of course, Sakura Haruno's Majestic Attire God Warrior doesn't have those cute cat ears.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Sasuke put down the seal in his hand and said calmly.
