The Mangekyo Falls from Its Pedestal

"I found you!" Shisui Uchiha's voice rang with confidence.

The fiery environment restrained Minato Namikaze, but for him, it was absolute home ground! The power of Fire Style was multiplied, while Susanoo's defense remained as steady as a rock.

His hands flew through seals, and the flames across the battlefield seemed to come alive in an instant, gathering at his command!

A colossal fire dragon, far larger than before, took shape amid a deafening roar. Opening jaws vast enough to swallow mountains, it pounced toward the spot where Minato Namikaze had just appeared with the force to burn the heavens and boil the seas!

But it was useless! Ordinary ninjutsu could never break through Susanoo's defenses!

Shisui Uchiha had absolute confidence in Susanoo's defense.

Wind fed the flames, and flames lent might to the wind!

In an instant, an unprecedented composite energy beam was born, fusing Wind Release's ultimate cutting power with flames capable of incinerating heaven and earth!
