The Arrival of God

In an instant, a massive black-and-white skeletal frame formed from ocular power enveloped Yan's entire body.

The skeletal frame stood nearly twenty meters tall, radiating an eerie and formidable aura. Every bone seemed to contain boundless power.

Standing within it, Yan could clearly feel as though he had merged with the skeletal frame, able to control it as freely as his own body.

Scarlet light flickered in the skeleton's eye sockets, like flames from hell that inspired terror at a glance.

Yan slightly moved his fingers, and the skeletal frame made the corresponding movements. Its motions were fluid and brimming with intimidation.

At that moment, the surrounding Uchiha clansmen all cast fervent looks his way.

This was the Mangekyou's ultimate ocular technique. This was the godlike power of the Uchiha Clan.

But it was not over yet.

"Draw upon the ocular power in your Sharingan and lend it to me..."

Yan let out a roar, and the Mangekyou patterns in his eyes spun even faster.

"Yin-Yang Release: Yin-Yang Connection Technique!"

As his words fell, an incomparably vast force of Yin-Yang Release burst from his body like a raging tide. It became strands of invisible yet tangible threads, swiftly linking him to every clansman present.

Immediately afterward, all the Uchiha clansmen present shouted, the tomoe in their eyes spinning frantically.

Streams of Sharingan ocular power surged like a mighty river through those mysterious connection channels, pouring without end into the skeletal giant nearby.

They merged perfectly with its own immense power, converging into one without distinction.

Bolstered by that surging power, the black-and-white skeletal giant began to undergo an astounding transformation.

The already towering and imposing Susanoo skeleton seemed to have been infused with endless vitality, continuously expanding, growing, and solidifying.

Meridians, flesh, and armor gradually took shape. The giant's form became increasingly complete, its size soaring directly past one hundred and fifty meters—yet it still lacked its lower body.

"Just a little more!"

Seeing that the Susanoo's fourth form was only one final step away, a fierce glint flashed through Yan's eyes as he prepared to expend his own ocular power once more.

Under the influence of the Yin-Yang Connection Technique, Fugaku and Shisui in the crowd sensed each other's thoughts. After exchanging a glance, they nodded together, seemingly having made up their minds.

The three tomoe in their eyes rapidly fused, each forming an exceptionally bizarre pattern.

At the same time, two immense bursts of ocular power erupted in succession.

One green and one red, two tangible streams of energy flowed through the channels and into the black-and-white Susanoo.

Meanwhile, the chakra within Yan's body was being rapidly drained, reaching its limit in no time.

"Lend me your chakra too!"

As the words fell, the power of Yin-Yang Release erupted again.

This time, it did not merely draw out the ocular power from their Sharingan—it also extracted the chakra from the clansmen's bodies.

Ocular power was poured into the Susanoo, while chakra was fed into Yan's body!

Boom!

With Fugaku and Shisui's powerful ocular power flowing into it, the Susanoo that had lacked its lower half was instantly completed.

Its body began to swell explosively.

In the blink of an eye, it surpassed two hundred meters.

At that point, the giant's entire body had fully formed, towering between heaven and earth and radiating unparalleled pressure.

Two longswords appeared in its hands, and together with the radiant armor covering its body, it looked as though a god of war had descended.

Every movement carried immense force. A casual sweep of its hand stirred up fierce winds that howled as they swept through the surroundings.

Seeing the sight before them, the surrounding Uchiha clansmen erupted into excited cheers.

With it here, what did the Uchiha Clan have left to fear?

Within the Special Zone, such a major upheaval at the political center—and that black-and-white Martial God seeming to stand amid the clouds—could be seen by anyone with eyes.

For a time, it stirred panic and astonishment among all the villagers of the Special Zone.

People stopped what they were doing and looked up at the massive figure, whispering among themselves about that unknown yet overwhelmingly powerful presence.

"What is that, a god?"

"How would I know? That thing appeared from the direction of the Special Zone building. Don't tell me the Uchiha Clan made it!"

"Couldn't it be that they're under attack?"

"Something that big? Go on, attack it and show me."

"..."

Seeing the atmosphere in the Special Zone gradually begin to grow restless.

Large numbers of Uchiha clansmen and civilian ninja swiftly mobilized under Yan's prior instructions, calming the villagers and preventing a major disturbance.

But for the villagers of Konoha, this was also the first time they had seen just what kind of power the Uchiha, the great clan said to have endured for thousands of years, truly possessed.

News spread quickly!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Hokage's office doors were repeatedly flung open as ninja after ninja wearing animal masks entered to report the changes occurring within the Special Zone.

After hearing the explanation, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately understood exactly what that Martial God was.

When it came to research on the Sharingan, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, was unquestionably among the foremost experts. Even many Uchiha Clan ninja knew less than he did.

Susanoo!

The ultimate ocular technique that could only be awakened through the Mangekyō Sharingan beyond the Three Tomoe, hailed as the "power of gods." The Asura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara, had awakened such a pair of eyes back then.

At that moment, Shimura Danzō and the other two advisors received the news and rushed in as well, their faces tinged with panic.

"Hiruzen, we can't wait any longer. The Uchiha Clan must never produce a second Uchiha Madara!"

"Danzō is right this time. If we keep waiting, Konoha will be in grave danger!"

"Hiruzen, are you still hesitating now?"

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's emotions also spiraled out of control. He roared at everyone in the office.

"Get out! All of you, get out!"

"..."

Not long afterward, large numbers of Anbu and Root ninja mobilized, rushing toward the outskirts of the Special Zone.

Some others entered Konoha Prison, seized several jōnin being held there, and then vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, within the Special Zone.

Standing atop Susanoo's forehead, Yan felt the power that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, and his heart swelled with boundless ambition.

"Now there's only one final step left!"

Yan closed his eyes and rapidly formed hand seals.

He had prepared this technique for this very moment for a long time.

Over the past year, he had spent most of his time on it.

To improve efficiency, Yan had even maintained eight Shadow Clones every day, having them pore through countless clan records and develop it without pause.

He had nearly gone mad!

Only then had he created this technique, one that combined Yin-Yang Release, the Summoning Jutsu, Sealing Jutsu, and Mangekyō ocular techniques.

A technique that would allow the Uchiha Clan to truly stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world—and one that could raise Yan's limits and pave the way for his future.

As the final hand seal fell into place, he opened his eyes and shouted.

"Ninja Art: Bloodline Resonance Jutsu!"

As his voice fell, a strange power surged from Yan's body and coiled around the enormous Susanoo.

Light flickered across Susanoo's body as the channels connecting it to the clan members gradually became tangible.
