Respect Me as You Would a God!

"Spread out, everyone! Get back!"

"You little brats, do you want to get yourselves killed standing this close to a fight of this caliber?"

"Move it! Get at least two hundred meters away!"

.

The Uchiha elders shouted with all their might, driving away the Uchiha who wanted to watch the duel up close.

The younger generation of Uchiha were especially curious about the power of the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan.

The elders who had lived through the era of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju knew the drill and hurried away from the center of the battlefield.

If there had been enough room, they would have wanted to get even farther away. Two hundred meters still put them at risk of getting caught in the crossfire.

Before long, the Uchiha had cleared an open space, leaving only Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita.

"Then let's begin."

After Uchiha Nan finished speaking, the purple Susanoo gradually took solid form. First came its arms, then its ribs and torso, until a gigantic half-body skeleton encased Uchiha Nan.

As Uchiha Nan continued to pour in his power, flesh covered the skeletal frame, and the Susanoo grew to over fifty meters tall.

"More!"

Uchiha Nan roared. He could feel that the potential of his Mangekyō Sharingan had yet to be fully tapped.

Before long, armor covered the flesh, and the Susanoo had grown to over seventy meters tall.

It seemed he had reached his limit.

Uchiha Nan felt a dull ache in his eyes.

That was the limit of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Madara Uchiha's Susanoo was over a hundred meters tall, with a crystal-like structure on its head. It seemed that only the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan could summon the Perfect Susanoo.

Still, this should be more than enough to deal with Uchiha Tomita.

Uchiha Nan swept out his hand, and a dark yellow Ninja Blade appeared in the Susanoo's grasp. It was made entirely of magma—the power of Lava Release.

Uchiha Nan charged out in his complete combat form!

"I never thought I'd live to see power like this."

"Heaven truly favors the Uchiha!"

"Let's see who in Konoha can stand against the Uchiha now!"

"Hahaha!"

A purple Susanoo giant stood before them. Even from two hundred meters away, the immense Chakra radiating from its body made everyone's hearts pound.

This was power no human could wield.

It was the power of a god!

The watching Uchiha elders were worked up all over again. Tears streamed from their eyes as they shouted like madmen.

The younger generation of Uchiha stared fixedly at Uchiha Nan's Susanoo, their eyes filled with awe, envy, and longing!

Tell me—

What young man didn't want to pilot a giant robot?!

Uchiha Tomita watched the towering giant appear before him in the space of a few breaths. A crushing sense of insignificance filled his mind.

He was starting to regret agreeing to duel Uchiha Nan.

I'm supposed to fight this monster?

You've got to be kidding me!

Standing at its feet, Uchiha Tomita had to crane his neck just to see Uchiha Nan. Everywhere he looked, all he could see was the Susanoo's massive body.

"Are you ready, Tomita?"

Uchiha Nan looked down at Uchiha Tomita, who seemed as tiny as an ant. No wonder Madara Uchiha had only ever considered Hashirama Senju his equal. With power like this, who would care what ordinary people thought?

They should just submit obediently, shouldn't they?

Even so, Uchiha Nan considerately asked Uchiha Tomita if he was ready to duel.

"We can start."

Uchiha Tomita answered through gritted teeth, gripping his Ninja Blade tightly. His palms were already sweating.

Charge in and test him!

"Ahhhhh!"

Uchiha Tomita rushed up to Uchiha Nan's Susanoo and swung his Ninja Blade with all his strength.

"Clang!"

The Ninja Blade, which had seen Tomita through countless battles, chipped. Uchiha Nan's Susanoo didn't suffer the slightest damage.

Its defense is incredible!

Uchiha Tomita looked at his blade with a pang of regret. It was made of top-grade iron, with a costly Chakra-conducting mineral mixed in. Yet it couldn't even break through Uchiha Nan's defense.

"That tickles a little!"

Uchiha Nan hadn't felt any pain. If anything, it had tickled.

"Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

Uchiha Tomita swiftly formed Hand Seals, gathering Chakra in his mouth. In an instant, a sea of flames surged toward Uchiha Nan.

Now that's an interesting move!

A smile appeared on Uchiha Nan's face. He acknowledged Uchiha Tomita's strength. It would take three to five jōnin using Water Release to stop this sea of flames. Otherwise, they'd be swallowed by the blaze.

But against Uchiha Nan, it was nothing.

Uchiha Nan swung his blade, and a single slash scattered the flames. The powerful strike shot into the sky, flying a thousand meters and scattering the clouds overhead. Its lingering force left a gigantic hole in the sky.

At the same time, alarms rang throughout Konoha. The massive defensive barrier set up around the village had been destroyed by Uchiha Nan's attack as an afterthought.

"Enemy attack?"

"Everyone, go on alert!"

"Security squad, lock down the whole village and evacuate the residents! The rest of you, notify every clan in Konoha!"

"I'll go find Lady Mito Uzumaki!"

The head of Konoha's Anbu roared out orders. Had the enemy already reached their doorstep?

Konoha's defensive barrier had been destroyed!

The entire village fell into chaos. Konoha's residents were hurriedly evacuated, following the emergency plan and fleeing into the underground passageways built for that purpose.

Uchiha Nan, of course, had no idea what was happening. He was still absorbed in his little duel with Uchiha Tomita.

"That's incredible!"

"I can't win."

Uchiha Tomita gazed up at the sky in shock. Could a person really unleash an attack like that?

Majestic Destroyer Flame was his best-practiced and most powerful Fire Release technique, yet Uchiha Nan had dispelled it with ease.

His attacks couldn't even measure up to Uchiha Nan's defenses. Uchiha Nan could probably stand there without moving, and even Fire Release wouldn't hurt him.

"Lord Uchiha Nan, I surrender!"

Uchiha Tomita conceded. There was no point in continuing the fight. The only way to defeat Uchiha Nan would be to throw human lives at him.

They'd have to keep hitting him with one Ninjutsu after another, back them up with barrier seals, and wear him down until his Chakra and ocular power were exhausted. Only then might they have a chance of winning.

Lord Uchiha Nan, please put that divine power away!

When he heard Uchiha Tomita surrender, Uchiha Nan felt a little disappointed. He'd given up already? Uchiha Nan hadn't had his fill of playing yet.

Still, Uchiha Nan dismissed the Susanoo and prepared to enjoy the fruits of his victory.

The moment the Susanoo vanished, Uchiha Nan felt utterly drained. His body wouldn't respond. Using power far beyond his limits came at a price.

He had only just awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Being able to use its ocular techniques so quickly was already impressive. He'd need time to get used to the Susanoo's power before he could even begin to master it. Using it by force could leave him blind.

But Uchiha Nan didn't care. It was all just a trial run anyway, and the show he'd put on had been worth it.

Now the entire Uchiha clan would revere me as they would a god!
