Susanoo

Excuse me, but when we were young, watching Naruto, who didn't wish they could become a Jinchuriki or pilot a Gundam Susanoo one day?

Josuke thought he had no connection to Susanoo or Mangekyo, but who knew he would inexplicably awaken it? It was truly unexpected.

Susanoo!!

Josuke breathed heavily, chanting in his heart.

Josuke felt his Chakra rapidly overflowing, quickly taking shape outside his body!

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name. For Taiwanese novels, go to Taiwan Novel Network, t͜͜͡͡w͜͜͡͡k͜͜͜͡͡a͜͜͡͡n͜͜͡͡.c͜͜͡͡o͜͜͡͡m͜͜͡͡, it's awesome]

Yes, that's right. Under Josuke's control, Susanoo was successfully summoned. The body was white. Upon summoning, Susanoo was just a small skeleton, which then grew larger, forming a half-body skull.

This was the second stage right from the start, skipping the first stage entirely.

Is this the power of the Uchiha?

The power of the gods!

At this moment, Josuke had the strength to contend with the later stages, though he didn't know if he could improve further.

Susanoo was powerful, but the amount of Chakra it consumed was enormous. After maintaining it for only ten seconds, Josuke felt one-fiftieth of his Chakra was depleted.

It seemed he was still too low on Mana. It was no wonder; if the Mana consumption wasn't high, the Ninja War would be a joke. Lord Madara would have simply used perpetual Susanoo to crush the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Since it's come to this, it would be a disservice to his own eyesight not to use it.

Josuke looked at Kakuzu. "Sorry, I've kept you waiting so long. Now, die!!!"

Kakuzu was also very shocked by the special ability Josuke displayed.

Although he didn't know what it was, such a colossal being looked very powerful.

He quickly retreated, using his masks to unleash Water and Fire attacks towards Josuke.

Is that all the attack you have?

Josuke couldn't help but shake his head. Too weak. Although Susanoo suffered some damage, it couldn't harm him at all.

He then controlled Susanoo to punch both the Water and Fire clones.

Unexpectedly, due to the distance, the clones dodged Josuke's attack.

"Nani? This works too?" Josuke complained inwardly. "Fine, if that's how you want to play, activate Stage Two~"

At this moment, bones and flesh grew on Susanoo, no longer just a skeleton. With the activation of the second stage, Susanoo would awaken its unique weapon, and Josuke's Susanoo was no exception.

This came as a surprise to Josuke.

His Susanoo had acquired a polearm, and it even had two forms: a naginata and the Kusanagi Sword.

"Alright, enough talk, let's see it in action."

A naginata made of white Chakra appeared in Susanoo's large hand, looking incredibly sharp.

Josuke didn't need to mimic Susanoo's movements; he just needed to think of the action in his mind, and Susanoo would perform the corresponding action. It was quite effective.

Susanoo's naginata slashed towards the Fire mask, which was instantly cut in half.

The remaining Water mask still tried to resist, but before it could react, Josuke controlled Susanoo to crush it.

Only Kakuzu, who had lost one life, remained on the field.

Kakuzu, already at the end of his rope, no longer posed a threat. Just like in the original story, Kakashi directly killed him with a kunai. The once mighty Kakuzu died here.

Everything was over. Josuke deactivated Susanoo, and blood flowed from his eyes again.

His vision naturally became even more blurred.

Huff.

The power was even greater than he had imagined.

Josuke thought this. What a shame, using it too much would blind him. His consumption just now was also significant; the second stage of Susanoo consumed even more than the first stage.

But the effect was equally remarkable.

After Kakuzu was dealt with, it was Orochimaru being cut down by Sasuke. However, Josuke remembered that before that, Orochimaru seemed to want to capture the Three-Tails.

But it was stolen by the Akatsuki Organization later.

(This plot of Orochimaru capturing the Three-Tails is an anime original, but I've included it, as Kishimoto approved it, lol)

And then, he was cut down by Sasuke.

After defeating Orochimaru, Sasuke's Snake Team was formed, fighting Deidara, then confronting Itachi, Jiraiya-sensei's death, Pain's invasion of Konoha, and the Five Kage Summit.

That's about it.

Josuke sighed helplessly.

The awakening of the Mangekyo had both pros and cons for him. The good part was that his strength had reached a new level; the bad part was that he was not far from going blind.

It was hard to imagine how that brat Sasuke managed to ruin his eyes in just a few days.

It was also hard to imagine how Obito used his eyes for so many years without going blind. Did Kamui not consume ocular power?

Unbelievable.

Putting aside these trivial matters for now, since Ino wasn't injured, Josuke was relieved.

It was quite absurd, really. He had originally come with the sole purpose of protecting Ino.

But now, he had somehow become the main damage dealer for this mission.

It was truly bizarre.

Without further ado, Josuke rested for a moment and decided to leave.

"Ino... I'm heading out."

Since his objective had been achieved, Josuke felt he had no reason to linger.

"Josuke! Don't go!"

A voice called out from a distance. Josuke paused slightly. Based on the current timeline, it should be his turn to appear soon, but Josuke had no intention of staying.

He looked at Ino tenderly. Ino blushed, not daring to look up at Josuke, and simply nodded silently.

A voice echoed in Josuke's heart.

Yes, I will miss you.

Ino used the Yamanaka Clan's unique secret technique to transmit her voice.

Afterward, Josuke left the scene, leaving only a late-arriving Naruto.

So, I was too late after all?

Naruto was filled with regret. He didn't blame Kakashi or the others for not stopping Josuke.

Instead, he blamed himself for arriving so late.

Shikamaru told Naruto everything that had happened with Asuma, which made Naruto even more convinced of his own thoughts.

Josuke must have had some unspeakable reason for choosing to leave.

And the near-meeting today further supported Naruto's idea.

His previously wounded heart began to beat again at this moment.

"Teacher Kakashi!"

Naruto greeted Kakashi.

"Mm, I'll briefly tell you what just happened."

Kakashi recounted the events that had just transpired.

Naruto was utterly shocked after listening. It seemed Josuke had improved again.

I can't fall behind either!!

Naruto clenched his fists, his heart filled with fighting spirit, an indomitable fervor.

I will definitely bring Josuke and Sasuke back to the village, and I will definitely become Hokage!

Josuke, of course, was completely unaware of Naruto's thoughts. As soon as he returned to Orochimaru's base, Josuke went to Orochimaru's ninjutsu library in search of sealing techniques.

The kind that could seal Tailed Beasts.

For some reason, Orochimaru and Sasuke were not at the base today. They were probably out practicing somewhere. It didn't matter; Uncle Orochimaru is also about to kick the bucket soon QAQ
