Crack, crack, crack!
Layers of wood-chip-like skin slowly formed over the fist wrapped in an emerald-green Chakra cloak. As the green glow gradually dimmed, a layer of wood-like skin with a hard sheen covered Chiba's right fist, extending all the way up his right forearm.
He had always felt that the temperature of Uchiha Nobuhiko's Susanoo seemed somewhat abnormal.
So that was it.
This Susanoo was made of Amaterasu flames!
Or rather!
Uchiha Nobuhiko could transform the tangible Chakra of his Susanoo into Amaterasu! At that moment, as he watched Uchiha Nobuhiko's Susanoo suddenly turn into a giant of pitch-black flames, along with the Wood Dragon and the wooden giant hand of the All-Encompassing Bag Technique beginning to burn and break apart, this thought surfaced in Chiba's mind.
He was finally certain that Uchiha Nobuhiko's Susanoo differed from the Susanoo that had appeared in the original work.
The difference was its temperature.
Judging from the original work, whether it was Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo, or Kakashi's Susanoo after receiving Obito's final Mangekyō Sharingan power, none of them displayed any temperature.
But Uchiha Nobuhiko's Susanoo was different. Even in its first stage, anything it grabbed could feel the intense heat, even beginning to steam directly. It was scorching heat; clearly, Uchiha Nobuhiko's Susanoo possessed an extremely high temperature.
That was a fundamental difference from other Susanoo. Not a single one possessed such high heat.
That made it quite clear. Uchiha Nobuhiko's Susanoo might possess some special ability, or a Divine Artifact like the Totsuka Blade of Itachi's Susanoo. This high temperature was the manifestation of such a weapon's power.
And now, just as Chiba had expected, Uchiha Nobuhiko's Susanoo truly was different—special.
The appearance of this giant of pitch-black flames was the best proof.
This Susanoo incorporated Amaterasu's power.
