Because Chen Yiban only had one [Eternal Mangekyo] right now,

his [Susanoo Complete Body] stood only about 130 meters tall.

Not over 200 meters like Uchiha Madara's in the original story!

But...

Compared to the "Susanoo Stage Three," which had only stood about 40 meters tall, the "Susanoo Complete Body" was already enormous.

It had grown more than three times larger!

"S-so big..."

Tsunade Hime stared at the Susanoo Complete Body before her, her face full of disbelief.

"This..." Kakashi, Shikaku Nara, Kurenai Yuhi, Mitaraishi Anko, and countless other elite Konoha Ninja were all stunned.

The difference in strength...

Was just too great!!

"Uchiha Madara... Is he really still human?"

Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help murmuring the question to herself.

"Is this the strongest warrior our clan once had? If only I had power like that..." Sasuke Uchiha stared with wide eyes.

He desperately longed to possess such supreme power!

Then he could take revenge on that man!

"He's as terrifying as a Tailed Beast!" Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help exclaiming.

"Strategy seems so powerless in the face of absolute strength." Shikaku Nara clenched his fists, looking both frustrated and helpless.

"Compared to someone like this, Orochimaru is nothing at all." Mitaraishi Anko couldn't help blurting out in stunned amazement.

As Orochimaru's former student, Mitaraishi Anko knew just how frightening his strength was.

Especially since Orochimaru had recently planned the invasion of Konoha.

He had even caused the death of the old man hailed as the "strongest Hokage in history," the Third!

Orochimaru had been a deeply oppressive presence.

And yet...

Looking at the [Susanoo Complete Body], towering more than 130 meters before her,

Anko thought, Who's Orochimaru?

At that moment,

On the roof of a building in Konoha, some distance from the battlefield:

"That is..."

Shimura Danzō stood with a large group of Root Ninja, watching the battlefield from afar. He caught sight of the enormous "Susanoo Complete Body," so massive it filled him with dread.

In an instant, even Shimura Danzō, the old schemer, stared in disbelief.

Behind him, the Root Ninja were all stunned as well.

"Two faces and four arms..."

"So it really is the legendary..."

By now, Danzō had no choice but to believe that the legendary warrior, Uchiha Madara, had truly returned from the dead.

As one of the students of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, Shimura Danzō naturally knew something about the legendary Uchiha Madara.

At the very least, he had seen drawings of Madara's legendary Susanoo!

At last!

On the battlefield:

"Madara!"

Might Guy, with the Eight Gates Fully Opened, stood flushed red as he stared at Chen Yiban.

Then—

"Evening Elephant!!"

Whoosh—

Might Guy charged forward!

His target was Chen Yiban, inside the [Susanoo Complete Body]!

"Everyone, fall back! Withdraw from the battlefield for now!!"

Coming to his senses and recalling Might Guy's warning for everyone to stay away from the battlefield, Tsunade immediately turned and shouted to all the Konoha Ninja around her.

"Guy..." Kakashi watched the blood-red figure of his dear friend charging fearlessly ahead.

In the end, Kakashi chose to trust his longtime rival and friend, Might Guy!!

Soon, countless Konoha Ninja began retreating swiftly, leaving the battlefield for the time being.

In response:

"Come on! Entertain me!!"

Chen Yiban's left Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan unleashed a powerful crimson eye force, and he roared with a savage grin.

Then, with a thought, the enormous "Susanoo" faced the Eight Gates Guy head-on!

At the same time,

Inside the Susanoo, Chen Yiban swiftly formed three hand seals.

Clang—!

A certain jutsu was activated.

Almost at the same moment, the Susanoo's giant fist clashed with the Eight Gates Guy.

But—

"Evening Elephant!!"

BOOM—!!

The giant fist of the Susanoo Complete Body shattered.

The violent shockwaves unleashed by the [Evening Elephant] tore up more than a hundred meters of earth beneath the Susanoo in an instant.

"Heh, that's the power of the blood-red steam, all right."

Chen Yiban's smile never faded. He showed no sign of panic.

The next second, he poured eye power and Chakra into the Susanoo Complete Body, restoring its fist.

But—

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—

The Eight Gates Guy didn't stop. He gave Chen Yiban no time to react, relentlessly bombarding the Susanoo Complete Body with one terrifying kick after another.

Crack—!

In the end, even the Susanoo Complete Body was covered in cracks, with parts of it badly damaged.

"You... Hahaha!!" Chen Yiban's face was alight with inexplicable excitement.

Might Guy's "Evening Elephant" was already this powerful.

What about Night Guy?

The thought was both astonishing and inexplicably thrilling!

Meanwhile:

"Bushy Brows Sensei, sugee!!"

Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help shouting in astonishment as he watched Might Guy suppress the Susanoo Complete Body, which was as huge as a Tailed Beast.

"I can't see his movements at all!" Sasuke Uchiha stared with crimson Sharingan, yet couldn't catch Might Guy's figure in his current state.

"Guy, show us the power of youth you're always talking about." Kakashi's eyes were filled with recognition and trust in his dear friend.

"Guy, break that bastard's shell!!" Tsunade Hime shouted across the battlefield, her fist clenched.

At that moment:

Crack—!

Might Guy felt as though the immense force was tearing his bones apart. It was as if they were beginning to crack.

With all Eight Gates Fully Opened, the strain was indeed immense!

And so,

The pain slowed Might Guy's movements ever so slightly.

Chen Yiban seized the opportunity at once:

"You can still keep dancing, can't you?"

"Don't disappoint me!!"

Clang—

Eye power and Chakra surged wildly, and all the damage to the Susanoo Complete Body was instantly restored.

At the same time:

Clang—BOOM!!

The Complete Body's Susanoo blade was suddenly drawn.

A single draw-slash!

Like a beam of light flashing between heaven and earth, across Konoha.

It slashed toward the Eight Gates Guy!

"Evening Elephant!!"

The Eight Gates Guy didn't dodge. To protect Konoha as much as possible, he launched another Evening Elephant.

In an instant:

BOOM—

Two supreme powers collided!

It was like a nuclear explosion.

A mushroom cloud rose into the sky!

In the midst of it,

The Susanoo Complete Body was jolted backward again and again by the powerful shock wave.

"Hahahaha..."

"Magnificent!!"

"You've brought back the same blood-pumping excitement I felt when I fought Hashirama."

"Come on, keep entertaining me!!"

After steadying the Susanoo Complete Body, Chen Yiban was filled with frenzied fighting spirit.

"Ugh..." On the other side, Might Guy's face was twisted with pain.

He was nearing his limit!

"Even Evening Elephant isn't enough?"

"Then..."
