To ordinary ninjas, the two figures in the sky were as powerful as gods.
Reto is one thing, but in the eyes of many in the Land of Wind, he is the strongest being.
I never expected the enemy attacking tonight to be so terrifying.
Oh, right, what did Lord Shamen just say?
Uchiha Kyosuke?!
Unbeknownst to many, this name has been etched into their hearts.
A being who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Reto.
In the sky, Kyosuke was still desperately trying to fend off the enemy's Electromagnetic Cannon.
Since activating the Mangekyō, he had never experienced such a high-intensity battle.
Without the motivation of negative emotions, he could only force Susanoo to evolve using Chakra.
"Fortunately, the Cursed Seal is present, and relying on diluted Natural Energy, we can ensure the completion of the Third Form of Susanoo."
As for the consequences of forcibly applying force?
At this point, Kyosuke couldn't care less about anything else.
Soon, the shattered flesh was repaired, and the dark gold skull was once again covered in its outer garment.
Under the enemy's furrowed brows, a set of illusory armor suddenly appeared, enveloping Susanoo like the mouth of a giant beast.
Susanoo - Third Form!
With the addition of the Crow Tengu Armor to its existing defenses, Susanoo's defensive capabilities were greatly enhanced.
This form of Susanoo is incredibly powerful, but it also consumes a huge amount of Chakra and is extremely unstable. It is difficult for ordinary Mangekyō to maintain the Third Form for an extended period of time.
In the original story, Uchiha Itachi, who was already seriously ill, was completely overdrawing his life force.
He managed to seal Orochimaru with his bare hands, and then immediately died in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke was the same; the fierce Danzo caused a significant depletion of his eye power, but he still managed to activate the third stage by relying on his negative emotions.
As a result, he blinded himself before he even got started.
Judging from the current situation, Kyosuke has embarked on the old path of severely overdrawing his pupil power.
"Ah!!!" A suppressed roar rang out, and he finally completed the evolution of Susanoo's essence.
He wields the indestructible, illusory Kusanagi Sword in his right hand, while a phantom shield materializes in his left, ready to defend against the enemy's Electromagnetic Cannon.
Rumble!
A bright flash of lightning ripped through the night sky, Reto, realizing the situation was dire, finally unleashed his Lightning Spear.
However, its power at this moment was no longer sufficient to pierce the shield in Susanoo's hand.
Despite the intense pain coursing through his body, Kyosuke charged madly at the enemy, Susanoo Sword raised high, giving his opponent no chance to dodge.
Seeing this, the future First Kazekage gritted his teeth, activated his electromagnetic force, and began to gather a violent lightning bolt far more powerful than before.
"Kid, you're a hundred years too young to defeat me!!!"
Magnet Release: Super Electromagnetic Cannon!
The thick, laser-like Electric Current struck Kyosuke's Susanoo squarely.
The immense force of the impact caused his strike to miss its target.
However, before the enemy's smile could fade, the Yasaka Tomoe, which had been poised to strike, suddenly shot out.
Bang!
The Tomoe shattered, and the enemy, fleeing in a bloody thud, crashed to the ground.
If it weren't for the layer of Iron Sand on his body, this attack would have been enough to kill Reto on the spot.
Even now, his injuries are extremely serious, and he won't recover for at least a month or two.
By the time Reto recovered, the Land of Wind's forces had already been defeated.
After all, there weren't many of them who came; most of them stayed on their homeland, where they also needed to guard against attacks from hostile forces.
Wow~ Kyosuke coughed up blood, and a feeling of suffocation suddenly surged into his heart.
But he knew he absolutely couldn't faint now, otherwise, even without the enemy's intervention, he would be killed by the fall from such a height.
He casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then formed a hand Hand Seals and gently pressed it into the empty space beside him.
Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!
With a bang, smoke erupted, and the figure of Manda appeared in the air.
"Kyosuke- sama-sama..."
As it watched the ground rapidly approaching, its lips trembled with fear.
Too lazy to waste words with it, Kyosuke open the snake's mouth and crawled inside.
"If you don't want to die, then quickly dispel the psychic summons."
"Oh~"
Just before landing, the Little Manda finally made contact with the spirit on its own.
Along with Kyosuke inside his body, the man and the snake returned to Ryūchi Cave at the same time.
"Hmm~ Yes, it's that familiar ceiling."
After a long while, Kyosuke once again soaked in the Snake Pool of Ryūchi Cave.
Beside her, Tagorihime was idly whipping a smooth stone with a small Whip.
They seem to be practicing something.
"..." Kyosuke coughed lightly, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
The result was obvious: he once again succumbed to the Shinki's Whip discipline.
Since he's always seriously injured, and he's asked for their help, he has to follow their rules.
Of course, he also took the opportunity to review the process of cultivating Senjutsu, even though he was not yet capable of doing so with his current physical condition.
However, he will grow up one day, and his Senjutsu powers will definitely be among the top-tier.
Learning more can never hurt.
On the other side, the invaders from the Land of Wind, having lost two generals in succession, were no longer as fierce as before.
With Watanabe Kaoru's tragic death and the Leader Reto injuries proving difficult to heal, the Second Generation Shamon, who had not yet fully matured, was not enough to withstand the Southern Army's onslaught.
Soon, the invaders were driven out of the border. The two sides were locked in a stalemate for half a month before the Land of Wind was the first to announce its withdrawal.
The reason is simple: before Reto had fully recovered, Uchiha Kyosuke reappeared on the battlefield.
Thinking back to that godlike figure that night, besides Reto, who else had the confidence to stand against that monster?
Since the agreement has been basically fulfilled, retreating at this point wouldn't be considered a breach of our initial promise.
At the border, Reto stared intently at the land of the Land of Fire, unable to recover for a long time.
"My lord." Beside him, the monk seemed hesitant to speak.
"Let's go." The man silently turned around, his whisper unheard by anyone.
"One day, this land will submit to my feet."
The Uchiha Southern Border Army won a great victory, driving the invaders back to the Land of Wind.
The news quickly spread far and wide, offering a slight glimmer of hope to salvage the unfavorable situation.
That's right, even the Hyuga and Uchiha were gradually finding it difficult to resist.
The enemy's Puppet Technique was truly formidable, a prime example of becoming stronger with each battle.
To date, many Uchiha clan members have become Puppet of the enemy, turning their blades against their former comrades and families.
If it weren't for Hashirama's powerful Wood Release, which allowed him to bear 30% of the fire, the entire battle line might have collapsed long ago.
Forced into a Tajima, Tajima finally made up his mind to carry out a Decapitation Plan.
Little did they know, this was exactly the scene some people wanted to see.
The Ōtsutsuki Sugito of today is no longer what he used to be; he has remained inactive, precisely to lure the ignorant into his trap.
Sometimes, the roles of hunter and prey are very blurred.
If you're not careful, their identities can easily be switched.
