Susanoo, the third power residing within the Mangekyō.
It is also known as the Power of the Gods.
It is said that anyone who has witnessed it is doomed to die, which shows how powerful Susanoo is.
Susanoo is a materialized form of Chakra; the user can choose to stand inside it and receive protection from the humanoid Chakra.
When the user moves, Susanoo moves with them and can perform any action according to the user's will.
Depending on the level of mastery and the power of the eyes, Susanoo can be divided into several different stages.
In its Initial Form, it will develop arms and ribs.
It can be used for various purposes such as attack, defense, protection, and control. Although it looks flimsy, it can actually defend against most attacks.
Kyosuke defended against the Wood Release attack using his dark gold Initial Susanoo.
The effect is quite good; at least it can largely prevent people from getting bogged down in meaningless waste of time.
The most crucial thing is...
Chakra burned and twisted like flames, and beside the illusory ribs, a dark golden energy arm materialized.
Furthermore, it wields the same Kusanagi Sword Kyosuke, which also appears to be constructed from energy.
At this moment, Kyosuke finally understood why Indra had personally gone to Ryūchi Cave to seek the Kusanagi Sword.
It turns out that, like the Totsuka Blade, it can also be attached to Susanoo for use.
It has no sealing abilities, nor does it reflect physical damage like the Yata Mirror; its abilities are very simple and easy to understand.
That is destructive power that is simple to the extreme.
"He's over there." Based on the brief conversation just now, Kyosuke successfully located Hashirama's position.
His gaze fell on the seven o'clock position, and with a swift movement, he dashed towards his target.
"Alas." A soft sigh seemed to echo from within the Forest.
Unfortunately, the sigh did not reach his ears.
A battle is a battle; why bother with all that fancy stuff?
Once I defeat my opponent, I can give Hashirama.
Despite the resistance coming from all directions, Kyosuke did not stop. With a sudden swing of his illusory arm, all the surrounding trees were snapped under the Kusanagi Sword.
Second round... Third round...
The entire Forest stirred, as if to crush the tiny humans within into dust.
However, the Kusanagi Sword was simply too sharp, and after being transformed by Susanoo's energy, its destructive power increased several times over in an instant.
Holding out might not guarantee you'll make it to the end, but don't forget, speed has always been Kyosuke's strength.
Amidst a flurry of sawdust, he forcefully carved out a passage leading to the enemy's location.
"You can't hide anymore, Hashirama." Kyosuke's disheveled hair flew wildly, his madness fully revealed, and his whole being was filled with surging fighting spirit.
Despite the excruciating pain that felt like needles pricking his entire body, he broke through his last barrier and finally appeared Hashirama drenched Hashirama.
"Kyosuke, you really have a knack for this." The Clan Heir, who had been prepared all along, already held the Broad-Bladed Greatsword in his hand.
Chakra was activated, and the pale blue sword instantly extended to three meters, almost rivaling the illusory Kusanagi Sword.
Without needing many words, the two immediately began to fight.
Faced with Susanoo's overwhelming power, Hashirama gritted his teeth and refused to retreat an inch, beginning a contest of strength against strength.
Similarly, Kyosuke abandoned his fancy attack methods and, as if playing a game of whack-a-mole, kept slashing at Hashirama.
After exchanging Hashirama for seventeen times, Hashirama was the first to give in, coughing up a large amount of blood and his life force waning instantly.
Seeing this, Kyosuke controlled Susanoo and sent it flying with a single punch, thus bringing their second encounter to a close.
Cough cough cough... Just as he retracted Susanoo, Kyosuke immediately collapsed to his knees in agony, feeling for a moment as if he were going blind.
"Every Cells in my body is trembling. Damn it, this thing is even more terrifying than Cursed Seal."
Kyosuke was a little scared at this moment. He didn't want to be like Uchiha Sasuke, who completely lost his sight after only a few days of using the Mangekyō.
To be precise, Sasuke completed several leaps in power on the very first day of awakening Susanoo, successfully unleashing his terrifying Third Form.
In its initial state, Susanoo manifests as ribs and arms.
In its First Form, the body begins to resemble a skull, Chakra completely covers the body, further enhancing its defensive capabilities.
In its Second Form, the skeleton begins to be covered with meridians and flesh, and is eventually enveloped by Chakra- like outer garment.
During this stage, you can transform into exclusive weapons such Energy Blade, Bow and Arrow and Yasakani no Magatama.
In the third stage, Susanoo dons a layer of Crow Tengu Armor, greatly increasing its defense and allowing it to use a wider variety of weapons, such as the Totsuka Blade and the Kagutsuchi Blade.
In its Fourth Form, Susanoo does not become stronger; it simply manifests its lower body, significantly increasing its size while also gaining excellent mobility.
The Fifth Form is also known as the Perfect Susanoo.
Only users whose eye power reaches a certain level and who possess a large amount of Chakra can activate this ability.
At this point Susanoo became exceptionally large, almost the height of a small mountain.
An ordinary person standing at its feet would at most be no taller than Susanoo's shoes.
As for the power of the Complete Form, it is very appropriate to describe it as splitting mountains and shattering the earth, easily changing the landscape within a ten-kilometer radius.
Further on, there is the even more powerful Ultimate Susanoo, which Sasuke acquired after absorbing the Tailed Beast Chakra.
It can be considered the pinnacle of Uchiha Sasuke's combat power, possessing terrifying destructive power that surpasses even Indra himself.
With his simple Mangekyō, Kyosuke can at most activate the Third Form of Susanoo, just like Itachi and Sasuke, by covering his outer garment with a Crow Tengu Armor.
Considering his current abilities, he might be able to form a unique Sage Art Susanoo after mastering Senjutsu Chakra.
The best way to use the Perfect Susanoo is to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Alternatively, they might awaken a high-level Sage Body, using their terrifying Chakra reserves to compensate for their lack of eye power.
Doing so will inevitably lead to the instability of Susanoo.
The best solution is still to activate the Eternal Eye.
Thinking of this, Kyosuke couldn't help but miss his cousin, Uchiha Kei, who lived on the other side of the Land of Fire.
"Grow up quickly, I can't wait!"
His goal was clear: to find a way to activate his cousin's Mangekyō and use the other's eyes to promote his own evolution.
That way, he can save a lot of Points.
Why not?
As for whether things might go wrong and cause Uchiha Kei to lose control, Kyosuke said he wasn't worried at all.
The sword had already struck; it was a power that Uchiha Kei could never withstand.
There's no need to worry about anything; all he needs to do now is wait patiently.
