Under the night sky, the Susanoo was torn to shreds, scattering into countless green starlight.
Bang.
Stripped of the Susanoo's protection, Shisui also fell to the ground, tears of blood streaming from both eyes, staining his face red.
"Dan..."
He struggled to open his lips, shouting his opponent's name with unwillingness, before his vision blurred and he directly fainted.
This was a sign of his Sharingan power being overdrawn.
Dan walked forward, a large hand grabbing Shisui's neck and lifting him up.
He had won.
Although the battle between the two appeared fierce and brutal, it was, in fact, merely a sparring match.
If it were on a battlefield.
Firstly, Shisui would definitely have used Kotoamatsukami. Secondly, even if he couldn't defeat Dan, he could have used the Body Flicker Technique to escape, and wouldn't have been foolish enough to fight Dan head-on until his Chakra was depleted.
A ninja like Shisui, much like Namikaze Minato. If they wanted to leave, no one could stop them.
However, speaking of which.
If it were a life-or-death battle, Dan wouldn't bother with so much trouble. He would have immediately used Za Warudo and instantly killed Shisui.
He wouldn't have given the opponent any chance at all.
In the crowd.
"Elder Setsuna, didn't you say... the Susanoo was the Power of the Gods? Why could Dan tear the Susanoo with his bare hands? Does he have the ability to... slay gods?"
A clan member asked with disbelief, his voice trembling.
Defeating a Mangekyo with Three-Tomoe, destroying the Susanoo with his bare flesh and blood, such a thing was truly inconceivable.
Yet, everyone present had witnessed it with their own eyes.
"Shisui..."
Itachi murmured softly. The myth of Shisui's invincibility in his heart shattered like a mirror at this moment.
He came back to his senses and saw Shisui being held by the neck and lifted by Dan. His expression immediately turned to one of great shock, thinking his uncle was going to kill someone.
Just as Itachi was about to rush forward to stop his uncle.
Someone was faster than him.
"Dan, stop!"
Fugaku shouted, rushing into the battlefield with a swoosh, his face filled with anxiety.
This was just a spar. If Dan got truly angry and killed Shisui in a fit of rage, it would be a huge loss for the Uchiha clan.
Dan glanced at Fugaku.
His brother-in-law had been watching from the sidelines since the Clan Meeting began. He didn't know what schemes were brewing in his mind, but now he decided to mediate.
He didn't release his grip, instead considering in his heart:
Should I confiscate Shisui's Sharingan here, so Danzo doesn't benefit from it later?
Seeing that Dan ignored his command, Fugaku inwardly thought, "This is bad." He knew he couldn't hide any longer.
So, in the next second.
Swish.
Fugaku's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, his pupils shrinking, the three tomoe enlarging and connecting tightly around his pupils, like--
A three-bladed propeller.
The Mangekyo Sharingan.
Immediately after, a vast, materialized blue Chakra erupted from Fugaku's body.
Bones, muscles, armor... a familiar scene reappeared as a blue half-body Susanoo enveloped Fugaku.
What?!
This scene made the clan members' eyes widen.
The Clan Head had also activated the Mangekyo and could use the God's Power Susanoo.
Even more shocking things were yet to come.
Under Fugaku's control, the Susanoo extended a large blue hand, attempting to snatch Shisui from Dan's grasp.
In response.
Dan stood still, not even raising a finger, seemingly not putting Susanoo in his eyes at all.
But behind him, a tall, spectral figure suddenly appeared.
His Stand, "The World," made its debut.
The World was now taller and more robust than before, exceeding four meters.
It had deep green skin, wore ornate white armor, and carried a pair of twin scuba tanks on its back. A white metal helmet covered the upper half of its face, adding a touch of mystery.
Muda Muda Muda Muda!
As soon as the World appeared, it rushed forward and landed several punches, all hitting Susanoo.
Stomp, stomp, stomp.
Fugaku, caught off guard, stumbled back several steps, his expression horrified.
"Dan, you... could it be..."
He looked at the World that was suppressing his Susanoo, this phantom that appeared behind Dan. Could it be too?
Not just him, but all the clan members thought the same.
"What is that, Dan's Susanoo? So Dan also has Mangekyo Sharingan, which means... our Uchiha suddenly has three pairs of Mangekyo?!"
"But why does Dan's Susanoo look different from the Clan Head's and Shisui's?"
"Is it because Dan's ocular power is stronger, so the form of his Susanoo is more advanced?"
"..."
The clan members' guesses and discussions fell into Dan's ears, making one thing clear to him.
So, Stands could be seen.
After all.
In the world of JoJo, ordinary people generally couldn't see Stands; only Stand users could see them.
But in the end.
Stands weren't that mysterious. They were merely the externalization of spiritual energy, an image produced based on an individual's mental strength.
And mental strength, in the Naruto world, was actually Yin Release Chakra.
Looking at it this way.
Stands and Susanoo were quite similar things. It was reasonable for the clan members to mistake one for the other.
After repelling Fugaku.
Dan glanced at Shisui, whose eyes were tightly shut and face was covered in blood, then sighed.
Forget it.
Shisui had already exhausted his Chakra and was injured. If his eyes were gouged out again, it would be adding injury to injury and would definitely cause irreversible damage to his body.
He might even have become a cripple on the spot.
Moreover.
It was indeed a bit improper, a bit cruel, for Dan to gouge out the other's eyes in front of all the clan members.
He should have done it in private.
So--
He would let Shisui off for today, but in a couple of days, after Shisui had recovered from his injuries, Dan would definitely take his eyes.
After all.
Kotoamatsukami made him feel too uneasy.
If this Shisui recovered his ocular power and directly decided to use Kotoamatsukami on Dan, making him guard Konoha for a lifetime, that would be a huge problem.
In a way, no matter how strong future Bosses like Obito, Nagato, Madara, and Kaguya were, Dan didn't care.
Only the Kotoamatsukami jutsu was what truly terrified him.
Thinking of this.
"Brother-in-law, I'll listen to you."
After Dan said this, he released his grip on Shisui's neck, finally letting Fugaku breathe a sigh of relief.
Bang.
After Shisui fell to the ground, he suddenly began to cough violently.
He slowly opened his eyes, managing to regain some consciousness.
"Shisui."
Seeing Shisui wake up, Fugaku deactivated Susanoo and walked towards the two of them.
"Clan Head, you..."
Shisui couldn't hide his surprise upon seeing Fugaku's Mangekyo and Susanoo.
He had always thought the Clan Head hadn't awakened his Mangekyo, but he didn't expect the latter to be even more secretive than him.
Then, Shisui saw the substitute "World" behind Dan, and his shock deepened.
So.
When he fought Dan, he had never managed to force the other party to use his full strength, even until the very end.
Steel Body, Expansion Jutsu, Monster Strength, "Susanoo"... Shisui really couldn't guess how many trump cards Dan still had.
Therefore.
When Fugaku helped him up, he looked at Dan and said, his voice weak but completely convinced, "I lost, Dan. The title of the Uchiha's number one expert is yours from now on, cough..."
He didn't finish before he coughed again, spitting out fresh blood.
