Battle

That strange power rapidly spread outward like ripples.

At that moment, the Uchiha clansmen felt an intense tremor deep within their souls. Their sense of connection to Yan's Susanoo bloodline became increasingly clear and powerful.

As that connection deepened, the clansmen were astonished to discover that they seemed able to perceive every fluctuation of Susanoo's power and every subtle intention behind its movements, as though they had become part of that immense power.

Yan sensed the growing connection between his clansmen and the Susanoo, and his heart filled with joy.

He exerted himself again, pouring more chakra and ocular power into the Bloodline Resonance Jutsu.

The black-and-white Susanoo shone ever more brilliantly, like a warm torrent flowing into the bodies of every Uchiha clansman.

It worked!

A smile tugged uncontrollably at Yan's lips.

The black-and-white Susanoo gradually faded away, vanishing between heaven and earth as though it had never existed.

Yet in the eyes of the Uchiha Clan, it had never disappeared. It was always there.

It existed within their bloodline.

As long as they drew upon the ocular power in their eyes, they could clearly sense it, and even...

Summon it.

"Since you can sense it, why not give it a try?"

Seeing the expressions on his clansmen's faces, Yan spoke with a smile.

Tekka nodded excitedly. "Then I'll go first, Lord Yan."

He then closed his eyes and rapidly formed hand seals, gradually establishing a connection with the black-and-white Susanoo within his mind.

In Yan's perception, his Susanoo seemed to have received some kind of summons. The light in its eyes grew increasingly radiant, and a stream of energy surged forth along the bloodline connection.

As the final hand seal fell into place, Tekka shouted.

"Summoning Jutsu: Susanoo!"

Black-and-white energy instantly emerged from the Three Tomoe in his pupils, gradually solidifying as it swirled around Tekka like a vortex.

It gradually formed a miniature Susanoo over three meters tall.

Its appearance was identical to the two-hundred-meter-tall black-and-white Susanoo they had just seen.

"Boom!"

Tekka controlled the miniature Susanoo and slammed a fist into the ground.

The earth instantly shattered, cracks spreading outward like a spiderweb as countless chunks of stone were blasted into the air.

"I'm so strong! Hahaha!"

Seeing that power, Tekka threw back his head and laughed.

This was the Bloodline Resonance Jutsu Yan had developed.

Using Mangekyou ocular techniques as its foundation, Yin-Yang Release as its core framework, and Summoning Jutsu and Sealing Jutsu as bridges, it established a unique connection with the Uchiha clansmen.

Through this technique, the clansmen's Sharingan ocular power merged with Yan's Susanoo, turning that black-and-white Susanoo into a symbol of the Uchiha Clan's bloodline.

In a sense, this was equivalent to the entire clan nurturing Yan's Susanoo with their power.

The stronger his clansmen became, the stronger he became!

Even if another clansman awakened the Mangekyou, the Susanoo they summoned would only be Yan's, made even stronger.

From this moment onward, he would truly become the Uchiha Clan's...

God!

Just then, a burst of commotion came from the distance.

An Uchiha ninja ran up to Yan with a panicked expression. Pointing toward the edge of the Special Zone, he said between ragged breaths, "Lord Yan, a huge crowd has surrounded the Special Zone! The Anbu, Root, Sarutobi, Utatane, Mitokado, and the other Ninja Clans have all come. They want to force their way into our Uchiha Special Zone."

"Many Ninja Clan heads are also watching from the sidelines."

"But the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, isn't among them!"

Yan merely smiled, utterly unconcerned.

Before the Fourth Form Susanoo, numbers had already lost all meaning. Without a true powerhouse holding the field, they were nothing but chickens and dogs.

"Clansmen, let's go!"

He then leaped into the air. The black-and-white Susanoo, more than two hundred meters tall, appeared once more and strode toward the edge of the Special Zone.

Every step it took seemed to shake the earth and mountains, sending shattered stones and dust flying everywhere.

Behind it followed the Uchiha clansmen, each filled with soaring momentum as they closely trailed behind the Susanoo.

For a moment, Yan was filled with boundless ambition, as though the world itself rested in his hands. A glint of excitement flashed through his eyes.

He...

Was about to go wild!

When they reached the edge of the Special Zone, they found the various factions standing ready in grim formation.

The Anbu, Root, and Hokage faction ninjas looked tense, their weapons clenched tightly in their hands.

The clan heads of the Hyuga, Kurama, Aburame, Inuzuka, and other Ninja Clans stood some distance away as well, watching the approaching giant with grave expressions.

"So this is the godly power of the Uchiha Clan? It really is terrifying. It feels like it's on a completely different level."

"The Byakugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan are known as the three great ocular bloodlines of the ninja world. The Rinnegan belongs to the Sage of Six Paths, so its power is naturally immense. Now the Sharingan has fully displayed its might as well. But what about the Byakugan...?"

"I wonder how much longer it will be before Uchiha Yan catches up to Uchiha Madara, the 'Asura of the Ninja World'!"

"Looks like we'll have to carefully reconsider our relationship with the Hokage faction and the Uchiha Clan from now on!"

"..."

As everyone lamented, the giant that seemed capable of holding up the heavens was already not far from them.

"Rumble... rumble... rumble..."

The ground shook violently, as if an enormous beast that had slumbered for ages had suddenly awakened and let out an enraged roar.

With every step the giant took, the earth was ruthlessly torn apart like fragile paper, huge cracks rapidly spreading like a web.

Rubble flew everywhere, while dust billowed up like thick smoke, blotting out the sky and sun.

The giant's immense body was like a moving mountain, its shadow enveloping everyone.

Before long, the Fourth Form Susanoo had arrived before them.

Its towering figure reached into the clouds, and people had to crane their necks to the limit just to see its head.

It radiated endless pressure, as though it could crush everything. Its enormous body blocked out the sunlight, casting a dark shadow over the ground.

Within that shadow, everyone's bodies trembled uncontrollably.

"Uchiha Yan!"

In this atmosphere, Shimura Danzō looked at Yan, standing on the giant's brow, with a trace of awe and fanaticism in his eyes as he shouted.

"Are you planning to betray the village?"

Through Susanoo's eyes, Yan ignored Shimura Danzō completely. He swept his gaze coldly over the crowd and spoke loudly.

"My Uchiha Clan, one of the families that founded this village, has endured decades of injustice in Konoha."

"Today, I will take it back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the twin swords in Susanoo's hands swung fiercely.

Sword energy howled forth, transforming into a massive blade of light that slashed toward Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, and the others with the force to destroy heaven and earth.

"Prepare for battle!"

Shimura Danzō shouted and directly took command of the surrounding ninjas.

With the Hokage absent, as the Hokage's advisor and with the support of the two consultants, he already possessed Konoha's highest authority.

Sub-Hokage!

The ninjas who had received the order rapidly formed hand seals and shouted in unison.

"Earth Release: Earth Wall!" *N

Massive earthen walls rose up in an instant, attempting to block the powerful attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

But to everyone's surprise—

The sword energy was immensely powerful. It instantly shattered the earthen walls and continued surging forward without losing any momentum.

In their panic, the ninjas of every faction unleashed their own ninjutsu, trying to weaken the sword energy.
