Background / History
Yan first manifests Susanoo after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. Initially a black-and-white skeleton, it is completed into its Fourth Form when Yan links himself to the Uchiha through the Yin-@@REF_ENTITY_11725908@@g Connection Technique. The collective ocular power of the clan, reinforced by Fugaku and Shisui's Mangekyō power, gives the construct a full body, armor, twin swords, and a height exceeding 200 meters 36.
Yan subsequently anchors the construct to the Uchiha bloodline through the Bloodline Resonance Jutsu, which combines Mangekyō ocular techniques, Yin-@@REF_ENTITY_11725908@@g Release, Summoning Jutsu, and Sealing Jutsu. The process allows Sharingan users to sense Susanoo and draw on it to summon miniature black-and-white manifestations 36 37.
The construct later becomes Yan's decisive weapon in conflicts against Konoha, Kusagakure, Kumogakure, Miroku and Yomi, the Otsutsuki, Uchiha Madara, and the Allied Shinobi Forces. Its later forms incorporate tailed-beast chakra, a growing arsenal of weapons, the Scythe of the Death God, and increasingly large-scale configurations 38 50 85 169 222.
Appearance
Susanoo is primarily depicted as an immense black-and-white armored humanoid with scarlet eyes. Its appearance changes significantly depending on Yan's chakra investment and the powers incorporated into it.
- In its skeletal state, it is an incomplete black-and-white giant formed from ocular power 36.
- The Fourth Form has a complete lower body, meridians, flesh, armor, and two longswords 36.
- The clan-linked miniature version resembles the Fourth Form but stands only slightly over three meters tall 37.
- Its tailed-beast-enhanced form has nine tails, six arms, and weapons including swords, axes, spears, and great blades 169.
- Later configurations reach roughly 1,000 meters in height and can wield the Scythe of the Death God while surrounded by more than a dozen tails 181 222.
Abilities & Skills
Mangekyō Ocular Manifestation
Susanoo is an ultimate ocular technique awakened through the Mangekyō Sharingan and is regarded as the “power of gods” 36.
- Yan can manifest and directly control the construct in combat.
- Its initial black-and-white form grows from a skeleton into a fully armored giant when supplied sufficient ocular power and chakra 36.
- Its output can be increased by Yan pouring additional chakra and ocular power into it 134.
- Early large-scale use places severe strain on Yan's chakra reserves and requires outside support to complete the Fourth Form 36.
Bloodline Resonance
Yan's Bloodline Resonance Jutsu establishes a connection between Susanoo and Uchiha Sharingan users, making the construct a collective clan asset rather than Yan's power alone 36 37.
- Uchiha clansmen can sense Susanoo's intentions and power fluctuations through their bloodline connection 37.
- Sharingan ocular power can be channeled into Yan's main manifestation through the Yin-@@REF_ENTITY_11725908@@g Connection Technique 36.
- Uchiha users can summon miniature black-and-white Susanoo manifestations; Tekka's first successful summon could shatter the ground with a punch 37.
- The clan's miniature forms were later stated to have received an upgrade, making them a major strategic deterrent even during Yan's absence 141.
Armaments and Offensive Power
Susanoo's standard Fourth Form armament is a pair of immense longswords capable of generating destructive sword auras 36 38.
- Its sword auras killed Danzō's summoned Baku in a single strike and threatened the Konoha leadership 38.
- It can destroy or disperse conventional elemental ninjutsu with casual strikes or movements 50 51.
- Its six-armed forms can wield several weapons simultaneously, attacking from multiple directions 169 202.
- In its later armored configuration, it wields the Scythe of the Death God to release black crescent-shaped slashes capable of tearing space 222 223.
- Its winged configuration can attack from the air at meteor-like speed while its blades form spatial fissures 134.
Durability and Regeneration
Susanoo's armor withstands large-scale attacks, though sufficiently powerful opponents can damage or destroy it.
- Konoha's combined attacks damaged its armor and forced it back, though they did not immediately defeat the Fourth Form 38.
- An Eight-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb shattered its weapons and cracked its body 86.
- Yin-style chakra lingering on the battlefield can restore shattered armor and recreate its twin swords 86.
- Miroku and Yomi's time-based attacks cracked and partially eroded its body, but Yan's full chakra and ocular-power output halted and repaired the damage 134.
- Isshiki's empowered kick shattered the complete form outright 168.
Tailed-Beast Chakra Integration
Yan can merge tailed-beast chakra into Susanoo to force further transformations beyond its ordinary complete form 169.
- The fusion of the Nine-Tails and the One- through Five-Tails grants it nine tails and four additional arms 169.
- The tails can strike independently, creating large-scale impact zones and sandstorms 182.
- Tailed configurations later include more than a dozen tails used as both a defensive barrier and restraining weapon 222 224 226.
- This expanded form was powerful enough for Urashiki to regard it as a more serious threat, but it still did not guarantee victory against an Otsutsuki opponent 169 182.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Twin longswords — Standard weapons of the Fourth Form; their sword auras are Susanoo's principal long-range attack 36 38.
- Multiple giant weapons — The six-armed tailed-beast form carries combinations of longswords, axes, spears, and great blades 169.
- Scythe of the Death God — Used by Susanoo's later armored form to create black crescent slashes and contest Senju Hashirama's techniques 222 223.
- Wings — A chakra-and-ocular-power manifestation used for aerial dives against Miroku and Yomi 134.
Relationships
- Uchiha Yan — Primary controller and the creator of the techniques that transformed Susanoo into a clan-linked power 36 37.
- Uchiha Clan — Their ocular power and chakra completed the Fourth Form; Bloodline Resonance later enabled Sharingan users to summon miniature manifestations 36 37.
- Uchiha Fugaku — Contributed Mangekyō ocular power to complete the original Fourth Form and later personally used a black-and-white Susanoo in battle 36 230 236.
- Uchiha Shisui — Contributed Mangekyō ocular power during Susanoo's initial completion and fought alongside other Uchiha Susanoo users 36 230.
- Uchiha Tekka — First documented Uchiha clansman to summon a miniature Susanoo through Bloodline Resonance 37.
- Uchiha Sasuke — Fought beside Yan's Susanoo against Urashiki and provided decisive bow-and-arrow support; he later develops Susanoo forms of his own 182 184 188.
- Otsutsuki Isshiki — Shattered Yan's complete Susanoo with a single kick, prompting Yan to pursue tailed-beast-enhanced transformation 168 169.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Uchiha–Konoha Confrontation
Susanoo's first public manifestation terrifies Konoha and triggers the mobilization of Anbu and Root forces. Yan uses the Fourth Form to confront the Hokage faction, destroy Baku, and challenge the existing order in Konoha 36 38.
Hozuki Castle Raid
Yan pilots Susanoo into Hozuki Castle to seize the Box of Ultimate Bliss. The construct crushes Kusagakure's resistance, defeats its elders, and allows Yan to leave with the Box 49 50.
Kumogakure War
Susanoo serves as Yan's frontline weapon against Raikage A and the Eight-Tails. The Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb proves capable of breaking its weapons and armor, establishing that the construct can be damaged by comparable high-end power 85 86.
Battle Against Miroku and Yomi
Yan repeatedly reinforces Susanoo against Miroku and Yomi's time-manipulation powers. The fight reveals both its ability to regenerate under heavy chakra investment and its vulnerability to opponents whose techniques can distort time and erode its form 134.
Otsutsuki Encounters
Isshiki destroys Yan's complete Susanoo, forcing Yan to merge multiple tailed-beast chakras into a nine-tailed, six-armed form. Yan later deploys Ultimate Mode and fights alongside Sasuke's Susanoo against Urashiki, eventually helping defeat him 168 169 181 182 184 188.
Fourth Shinobi World Conflict
Yan uses increasingly evolved Susanoo forms while supporting Uchiha Madara's attempt to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. The armored, scythe-wielding configuration holds back Senju Hashirama and the Sage of Six Paths, though their combined defenses can repel its most powerful attacks 222 223 224 226.
Trivia
- The original Fourth Form stands over 200 meters tall, while Tekka's first resonant summon is only slightly over three meters tall 36 37.
- The black-and-white coloration is shared by Yan's main manifestation and the miniature forms summoned by Uchiha clansmen 36 37.
- Susanoo's armor and weapons can be regenerated after damage, but complete destruction by overwhelming force remains possible 86 168.
