Hagoromo Otsutsuki?

Looking at Shimura Danzō, driven to despair and madness, Uchiha Genki's eyes remained utterly calm.

He controlled Susanoo Armor and slowly raised the Eight-Handled Sword. Its black blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight as he brought it down toward the tiny figure on the ground once more—this time, to end it.

"I set foot upon this land of sin in the name of the gods!"

Uchiha Genki's voice was ice-cold, devoid of warmth. Like a judgment from the abyss, it echoed over the shattered Konoha.

Every word carried a crushing aura of destruction, making the surviving beings tremble uncontrollably.

"I will turn this accursed land into nothingness!"

The instant the words left his mouth, he raised the Eight-Handled Sword in Susanoo Armor and brought it down again with enough force to split heaven and earth.

The black blade tore through the night sky, leaving a jagged shadow in its wake. Space twisted violently and collapsed wherever it passed.

"Rumble—!!!"

The earth let out a groan under the unbearable strain. The entire area around Root Base, along with the land for several thousand meters around it, was instantly swept up by the sword's force.

Soil, rocks, ruins, and severed limbs churned together like a tsunami before crashing down in a heap, leaving behind a completely charred and lifeless wasteland.

Shimura Danzō's body had already been annihilated by the sword's force. Along with it, the Mangekyō Sharingan of Shisui Uchiha, which Danzō had coveted for his entire life and transplanted into his eye, and the other Mangekyō Sharingan of Shisui's that he had seized from Itachi Uchiha but not yet fully assimilated were reduced to two fragments of souls, each containing immense ocular power. In the void, they gathered and fused on their own, forming a blurry blue silhouette.

The moment the silhouette took shape, the power of Ōkuninushi and Magatsunokami surging around Genki locked onto it.

Two streams of black energy, like greedy tentacles, instantly coiled around it and dragged it away. Before the silhouette could even stir in resistance, it was forcibly pulled into Genki's body and devoured completely.

"Vmmm—!!"

The immense ocular power poured into him, and Genki's scarlet Seven-Magatama Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly blazed with dazzling red light.

Everyone could clearly see the tomoe in both his eyes turning once more, then multiplying. Two black tomoe slowly surfaced from deep within his pupils, like seeds coming to life, and took shape.

Eight tomoe! His one-of-a-kind Mangekyō Sharingan had officially evolved into its Eight-Magatama form!

As the tomoe took shape, an even more terrifying power erupted from Genki. The Magatsunokami Domain around him expanded wildly like an inflated balloon. What had covered several thousand meters now spread across all of Konoha in an instant.

Within the domain, countless devoured soul-forms began to stir, only to be firmly suppressed by an even greater power.

Genki's gaze swept over the ruins and pinpointed the small figure in an orange jacket amid the crowd, being hurried away under the desperate protection of several surviving shinobi—Naruto Uzumaki.

He controlled Susanoo Armor and strode toward Naruto. Each step made the earth quake violently, and the shadow of death once again fell over the young boy.

"Naruto!" Jiraiya, not far away, glared with bloodshot eyes. He had only just recovered from the earlier impact; his entire body was racked with pain, and he had almost no Senjutsu Chakra left. Still, he forced himself to run toward Naruto, hoping to shield the Child of Prophecy Genki had singled out.

But before the thousand-meter-tall Susanoo Armor, his speed was like a tortoise's crawl.

Just as Susanoo Armor's enormous hand was about to seize Naruto, a solemn, ancient voice suddenly rang out like thunder from beyond the bounds of time. "Susanoo!"

Before the words had faded, brilliant sky-blue chakra erupted from behind Naruto and instantly coalesced into a Perfect Susanoo a thousand meters tall!

Pure, powerful chakra swirled around the sky-blue Susanoo. It held a long sword made of chakra, its presence imposing and no weaker than Genki's black Susanoo. It stood firmly between Naruto and his attacker.

"Rumble—!!!"

The next moment, the two thousand-meter-tall Susanoo collided with a thunderous crash.

Sky-blue and black chakra slammed into each other, sending visible ripples of energy surging outward in every direction.

Konoha, already in ruins, was struck by another devastating blow. Countless buildings crumbled in the waves, and the ground split into ravines dozens of meters deep. The terrifying clash rang across the entire Shinobi World, making even the distant mountains tremble.

Amid the swirling dust, everyone stared in shock.

They saw a figure slowly appear at the sky-blue Susanoo's brow. He wore a white robe adorned with tomoe, had waist-length hair, and a mark on his forehead.

The Six Paths Power surrounding him was faint, and his expression was both solemn and compassionate. He was the legendary creator god—the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki!

At the sight of the legendary figure before him, a glimmer of life finally returned to Genki's dead, hollow eyes.

But it wasn't reverence or fear. It was a fury so absolute it threatened to burn everything to ash!

"Heh heh heh—!! Hahahaha—!!!"

A wild, hysterical laugh burst from Genki. It was filled with endless sorrow, despair, and a resentment that had festered for a thousand years, like the dying howl of a wounded beast.

He made the black Susanoo take half a step back. His scarlet Eight-Magatama Mangekyō fixed on Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and his voice came out hoarse yet powerful enough to pierce the heart. "So that's it—!! Hahahaha—!! So you knew everything! You've been able to see it all along! Hahahaha—!!"

The face that had turned cold and still after killing Itachi twisted into a frenzied mask once more. Blood tears slid from the corners of his eyes, mixing with the grime on his face and making him look even more monstrous.

He stared at Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and a tidal wave of hatred and rage burst from his hollow eyes, like an erupting volcano. The air around him warped from the heat.

"Why! Why! Why?!"

His furious roar resounded across Konoha. Genki thrust up the black Susanoo's hand and pointed straight at Hagoromo Otsutsuki. "Why would you do this to the Uchiha Clan?!"

The moment the words fell, his scarlet Eight-Magatama Mangekyō erupted with terrifying power once more.

Black Magatsunokami power instantly engulfed the entire Susanoo. Within the domain, the soul-forms of the Uchiha Clan were forcibly kept out and protected. All the other souls Genki had devoured—nearly a million of them—began to stir wildly, whether they belonged to Konoha's shinobi and civilians or to enemies the Uchiha had slain across the generations.
