"Boom!"
The purple and orange-red Susanoo collided, producing a deafening, terrifying roar.
A powerful wave of air blasted outward in all directions from the point of contact, kicking up billowing clouds of dust.
Susanoo energy consisted entirely of Chakra, but enhanced by the power of the Mangekyo, that Chakra was refined and solidified to the extreme, giving the formless energy an indestructible attribute.
Susanoo morphology fell into two directions: the incomplete body and the complete body.
Susanoo defense had three stages: the skeleton, flesh and blood, and Tengu armor. The Tengu armor stage was the incomplete body.

Activating a complete Susanoo was not merely a matter of ocular power; it also required a massive reserve of Chakra to support it.
Although Itachi Uchiha had been implanted with Hashirama Cells, he could still only activate a half-body Susanoo. His own Chakra reserves were low, and he had to support three Mangekyo Sharingan and one Rinnegan on his person, which left the tiny fraction of Hashirama Cells in his body drained as well.

Enhanced by these two divine treasures, Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo managed to fight Sasuke Uchiha—who had activated a complete Susanoo—to a standstill.
Because of Wang Ming's meddling, Sasuke Uchiha had not unlocked the Eternal Mangekyo, but he
