Watching Shimura Danzō descend into madness and despair, Uchiha Genki's eyes showed no ripple of emotion.
He controlled the Susanoo Armor, slowly raising the Eight-Handled Sword. The pitch-black blade gleamed coldly under the moonlight as he swung it down once more towards the tiny figure on the ground—this time, to end it.
"In the name of a god, I set foot upon this sinful land!"
Uchiha Genki's voice was chillingly devoid of warmth, like a judgment from the abyss, echoing over the shattered Konoha.
Every word carried the oppressive weight of destruction, causing the surviving beings to tremble uncontrollably.
"I will utterly reduce this land of sin to nothingness!"
The moment his voice fell, the Eight-Handled Sword, raised high by his controlled Susanoo Armor, slashed down again with the force to tear heaven and earth.
The pitch-black blade cut through the night sky, leaving a ferocious dark shadow. Wherever it passed, space itself distorted and collapsed violently.
"RUMBLE—!!!"
The earth let out a cry of unbearable burden. The entire area where the Root base was located, along with thousands of meters of surrounding land, was instantly lifted by the sword's energy.
Dirt, rocks, ruins, and severed limbs churned together like a tsunami, before crashing down heavily, turning the area into a scorched, dead wasteland.
Shimura Danzō's body had already been annihilated by the sword's energy, along with the Mangekyo Sharingan of Shisui Uchiha, which he coveted and had transplanted into his eye, and another Shisui Mangekyo that had not been fully refined after being plundered from Itachi Uchiha. Two soul fragments, containing ultimate dōjutsu power, automatically gathered and merged in the void, forming a blurry blue soul phantom.
As soon as this phantom took shape, it was firmly locked onto by the Ōkuninushi and Magatsunokami powers surging around Genki.
The two black energies, like greedy tentacles, instantly ensnared and dragged it. Before the phantom could emit even the slightest ripple of resistance, it was forcibly pulled into Genki's body and completely devoured.
"BZZZT—!!"
Ultimate dōjutsu power surged in. Genki's pair of crimson Seven-Magatama Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly erupted with blinding red light.
Everyone could clearly see the magatama in his eyes spin and evolve again. Two pitch-black magatama slowly emerged from the depths of his pupils like nascent seeds, taking shape.
Eight-Magatama! Those unique Mangekyo Sharingan had officially evolved into the Eight-Magatama form!
As the magatama took shape, an even more terrifying energy erupted from Genki's body. The Magatsunokami domain around him expanded wildly like an inflated balloon. The domain, which had previously covered thousands of meters, instantly spread to encompass the entire Konoha.
Within the domain, countless devoured soul phantoms began to stir, only to be ruthlessly suppressed by an even greater power.
Genki's gaze swept over the ruins, precisely locking onto a small figure in the crowd wearing an orange jacket, being desperately protected by a few remaining ninjas as they fled—Naruto Uzumaki.
He controlled the Susanoo Armor and took giant strides towards Naruto's direction. Each step made the ground tremble violently, and the shadow of death once again loomed over the young child.
"Naruto!" Jiraiya, not far away, was furious. He had just recovered from the previous impact, his meridians aching severely, and his Sage Mode Chakra was nearly depleted. Yet, he still rushed towards Naruto with all his might, wanting to shield the prophesied child whom Genki had singled out.
But his speed was like a snail's crawl compared to the kilometer-high Susanoo Armor.
Just as the giant hand of the Susanoo Armor was about to grab Naruto, a majestic and ancient voice suddenly rang out, like thunder crossing time and space: "Susanoo!"
Before the voice faded, a brilliant azure Chakra erupted from behind Naruto, instantly condensing into a full-body Susanoo Armor standing a kilometer tall!
The azure Susanoo was enveloped in pure and powerful Chakra, wielding a sword of Chakra as well. Its imposing aura was no weaker than Genki's pitch-black Susanoo, and it stood firmly in front of Naruto.
"BOOM—!!!"
The next second, the two kilometer-high Susanoo Armors collided with a deafening roar.
The azure and pitch-black Chakra clashed violently, creating visible waves of energy that spread outwards.
The already ruined Konoha suffered further heavy damage. Countless buildings crumbled under the shockwaves, and the ground cracked open with chasms tens of meters deep. The terrifying collision sound echoed throughout the ninja world, causing even distant mountains to tremble slightly.
Amidst the swirling dust, everyone stared with shocked eyes.
Within the center of the azure Susanoo Armor's forehead, a figure clad in a white robe with magatama patterns, long hair reaching his waist, and a mark on his forehead slowly materialized.
He was surrounded by the faint power of the Six Paths, his eyes majestic and compassionate. It was the legendary creator god—the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki!
Looking at the legendary figure before him, a flicker of life finally appeared in Genki's lifeless, hollow eyes.
But this flicker was not awe or fear; it was extreme, all-consuming rage!
"Hehehe—!! Hahahahaha—!!"
A hysterical, frenzied laugh erupted from Genki's mouth, filled with endless sorrow, despair, and millennia of pent-up resentment, like the dying roar of a wounded beast.
He controlled the pitch-black Susanoo, taking half a step back. His crimson Eight-Magatama Mangekyo stared intently at Hagoromo Otsutsuki, his voice hoarse yet penetrating: "So that's how it is—!! Hahahaha—!! So you knew everything! So you could always see! Hahahahaha—!!"
His face, which had turned cold and silent after killing Itachi, contorted into a look of madness again. Tears of blood streamed from the corners of his eyes, mixing with the bloodstains on his face, making him look even more ferocious.
He stared fixedly at Hagoromo Otsutsuki, his hollow eyes suddenly bursting with boundless hatred and fury, like an erupting volcano, scorching the surrounding air until it warped.
"Why! Why! Why!"
His enraged roar echoed throughout Konoha. Genki controlled the pitch-black Susanoo, raising its hand sharply, pointing directly at Hagoromo Otsutsuki, "Why did you do this to us, the Uchiha clan!! Hagoromo Otsutsuki!!"
The moment his voice fell, his crimson Eight-Magatama Mangekyo erupted with terrifying energy once more.
The pitch-black Magatsunokami power instantly enveloped the entire Susanoo Armor. Within the domain, except for the soul phantoms of the Uchiha clan, who were forcibly repelled and protected, all nearly a million other souls devoured by Genki—whether they were Konoha ninjas, civilians, or enemies killed by the Uchiha throughout history—began to stir frantically.
