One Eye Opens Susanoo

Hancock's first target was Shisui!

Her slender figure appeared before Shisui as if by teleportation, no slower than his own Body Flicker Technique.

"No matter how fast you are, it's all futile before I!"

Hancock snorted coldly. Her Observation Haki far surpassed her sister's, already predicting every possible evasive route Shisui could take.

Shisui's pupils contracted sharply. He immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to try to create distance, while tossing a kunai to disrupt her.

However, Hancock merely raised a hand casually. Her delicate fingers, coated in Armament Haki, precisely flicked away the incoming kunai as if brushing off dust, producing a sharp "clang."

The next moment, her seemingly soft and boneless jade foot, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, drove straight toward Shisui's chest with a fierce whistling sound!

"Perfume Femur!"

Feeling the Empress's terrifying pressure, Shisui dared not be careless.

He reacted swiftly, reversing his hand to draw the shortsword strapped to his back.

This blade appeared short, but its sharpness was enough to easily cut through rock and steel, while the toughness of its body could withstand high-intensity chakra infusion.

When Shisui infused Wind Style Chakra into the blade, the shortsword's cutting ability would further increase, reaching a realm where nothing could withstand it.

As long as the opponent dared to kick, Shisui wouldn't mind making his enemy lose a limb.

But contrary to Shisui's expectations, the woman before him, upon seeing him draw his blade, still charged in recklessly without hesitation.

"Boom--!"

Under Shisui's incredulous gaze, the chakra-infused sharp shortsword.

Lasted less than a single breath.

Before it turned into a stone blade, then was instantly shattered by the Empress's kick.

Her long leg, with undiminished force, continued to drive toward Shisui.

A dull thud rang out. Shisui felt as if he had been rammed head-on by a giant summoning beast.

An irresistible, immense force struck him. Sharp pain shot through his arms, and the condensed chakra defense collapsed instantly!

His entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tracing a parabolic arc through the air before crashing heavily into the trunk of a distant tree, where he barely came to a stop.

A trace of blood seeped from the corner of Shisui's mouth. He stared at the petrified section of his chest, shock filling his eyes.

Such speed, such an unreasonable ability!

With a single strike! Uchiha Shisui, famed for his Body Flicker, was cleanly and decisively repelled!

Next, Hancock's cold gaze turned to Fugaku.

Alarms blared in Fugaku's mind. He immediately formed hand seals:

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

A massive fireball surged toward Hancock, attempting to block her advance.

"Pathetic tricks."

Hancock's face showed disdain. She didn't even use Armament Haki, her form flickering like a ghost a few times.

Relying on her formidable physique, she charged straight through the blazing inferno.

The next second, she had already appeared at Fugaku's side.

"Before I's absolute beauty and power, your little games are meaningless!"

Fugaku's Sharingan spun wildly, trying to track her movements, but Hancock's speed far exceeded his expectations!

He had just begun to form the Substitution Technique when Hancock's long leg, wreathed in Haki, lashed out like a whip, aimed directly at his waist and abdomen, which had momentarily stalled due to his hand seals.

"Bam!"

Fugaku couldn't even mount an effective block. He only felt a tremendous force strike him, as if his internal organs had been displaced.

His body uncontrollably flew sideways, rolling several times on the ground before barely stopping.

Fugaku clutched his abdomen, unable to stand for a moment, his face etched with horror.

In the blink of an eye, the two elite Uchiha who had just turned the tide of battle were effortlessly crushed by the Empress with overwhelming force!

Hancock elegantly withdrew her long leg, as if she had merely done something trivial.

She lightly brushed off nonexistent dust, looking down with condescension at the somewhat disheveled Shisui and Fugaku, along with the crowd of intimidated Uchiha clan members.

"Hmph, see that? This is the fate of those who oppose I."

She raised her snow-white chin slightly, speaking in that iconic tone, both arrogant and carrying a hint of self-evident logic:

"But then again, I is so beautiful after all. Even though you've committed such grave sins, your hearts must be feeling immensely honored right now to have witnessed I's heroic bearing in person, right?"

"After all, I is simply too beautiful. No matter what I do, I will be forgiven."

Her words carried a peculiar, self-centered logic.

She framed defeating her enemies as a favor bestowed upon them, perfectly showcasing her tsundere and narcissistic personality to the extreme.

The Uchiha's cheers cut off abruptly, leaving a dead silence before the camp.

What had happened? Why, in just a few breaths, had Shisui-sama and Elder Fugaku, pillars of the clan, been so easily driven back?

Just how terrifying was their opponent's strength?!

Shisui and Fugaku struggled to their feet, exchanging a glance that held unprecedented gravity.

"No wonder the clan head values him—he's absurdly strong!"

Shisui forcibly suppressed the churning blood in his body and the discomfort of the petrification on his chest.

There was no fear, only a long-missed surge of battle intent, kindled by facing a true powerhouse.

Since the end of the Third Ninja World War, Shisui hadn't felt this kind of pressure, teetering on the edge of life and death, in a long time.

Hancock watched the two rise again, along with the Uchiha clansmen she deemed already terrified out of their wits.

The sneer on her lips deepened.

She raised her hand gracefully, her fingertips aimed at Shisui and Fugaku, as a pink, heart-shaped light began to gather once more.

"If one lesson isn't enough, then repent forever in petrification!"

"Slave Arrow!"

A beam of pink hearts, denser and wider than before.

Like a tide of death, it surged fiercely toward the Uchiha camp!

This time, her target clearly included more clansmen!

"Not good!"

Fugaku's expression twisted in horror. He wanted to stop it, but couldn't—the beam's speed filled him with despair.

Shisui gritted his teeth. He knew ordinary defenses were useless against this rule-like attack.

As the pink light was about to engulf the clansmen ahead, despair began to spread.

Just then, at this critical moment—

"Ugh!!!"

A low roar, suppressing pain and resolve, burst from Shisui's mouth!

His remaining left eye—the Mangekyo Sharingan containing the power of Kotoamatsukami—suddenly flared with a blood-red, dripping light!

The pattern spun at an unprecedented, maddening speed!

A cold, vast, ominous Chakra erupted from Shisui's body like a volcanic explosion!

This power was so immense that it even caused a subtle distortion in the surrounding space, filling the air with a suffocating pressure.

"What is that?!"

Hancock's delicate brows furrowed. From that sudden burst of energy, she sensed a hint of threat.

The next second, under everyone's horrified gaze—

A colossal, skeletal green energy construct, centered on Shisui, abruptly rose from the ground!
