Susanoo Against Susanoo

The corner of "Madara" Uchiha's eye twitched twice beneath his mask. He took a deep breath but said nothing.

From where he stood, he could already see the Konoha ninja around the perimeter, every one of them watching this place.

There was no need to think about it. They were simply waiting for an order to swarm him.

And if Genkawa Uchiha remained nearby to restrict his Space-Time ability, he did not even dare think too deeply about what the outcome would be.

Damn it!

At this moment, he truly regretted it. He regretted being so overconfident.

He had thought that with Kamui's power, even if he could not win the other side over, he could at least retreat calmly.

But now, Kamui was completely restrained by those eyes. He could not phase through attacks, nor could he open a spatial passage. He had been trapped here alive.

Had he known this would happen, even sending a White Zetsu clone would have been better than ending up in this awkward situation, unable to advance or retreat.

This was really embarrassing.

At this time, outside the battlefield, Fugaku Uchiha had arrived at the edge of the battlefield with the clan's ninja.

"Genkawa!"

He shouted, "He cannot possibly be Madara Uchiha. Madara has been dead for a long time!"

Without turning around, Genkawa Uchiha merely answered with a smile, "I know."

Fugaku Uchiha froze, then said in a deep voice, "If that is so, join forces and take him down. We cannot let him tarnish the Uchiha Clan's reputation under Madara Uchiha's name."

Hearing this, Genkawa Uchiha's expression became slightly strange, and he curled his lip.

"No need."

Genkawa Uchiha held his Ninja Blade horizontally.

"I'll take off his mask myself and see exactly who is hiding beneath that face."

At that moment, Obito Uchiha spoke. "So this is the Uchiha Clan Head? Always talking about the clan's honor. Being in the same clan as someone like this must be quite troubling for you, right?"

Genkawa Uchiha opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

"What? Did I hit the mark?"

Genkawa Uchiha's expression grew even stranger. He tilted his head slightly, his lips moving soundlessly.

But Obito Uchiha on the other side saw it clearly. With his Sharingan, he could naturally read Genkawa Uchiha's lips without difficulty.

Who the hell are you putting on an act for in front of me? How many years have you even been away from the Uchiha Clan?

Obito Uchiha's heart suddenly tightened. An ominous feeling rose within him, and when he met Genkawa Uchiha's gaze, he found him wearing a faintly amused smile.

He knows who I am!?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

But... what did he mean by that?

At that moment, Obito Uchiha's mind fell into chaos.

Outside the battlefield, Fugaku Uchiha opened his mouth after hearing Genkawa Uchiha's words, but ultimately said nothing more. He could only lead his clansmen several steps back with a dark expression, leaving room in the center.

He understood Genkawa Uchiha's temper far too well. That man changed moods as quickly as a dog turned its face.

If he truly led people forward, that bastard might even dare attack him.

Thinking of it this way, he suddenly realized that he had been a rather failed Clan Head.

But no one cared what he thought right now. More Konoha ninja were arriving.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu appeared at the edge of the ruins, followed by a group of elite Anbu.

The two stared at the completely destroyed training ground and forest before them, their expressions becoming extremely ugly.

"What happened here?" Mitokado Homura asked in a deep voice.

An Anbu member stepped forward and quickly reported, "By the time we arrived, the battle had already begun. Genkawa Uchiha was fighting an unidentified masked ninja."

Another Anbu added, "According to Itachi Uchiha, the son of Clan Head Fugaku, that masked man claimed to be... Madara Uchiha."

"What!?"

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu changed expression at the same time.

They exchanged a glance, each seeing shock and unease in the other's eyes.

They knew better than anyone what the name Madara Uchiha represented.

Utatane Koharu narrowed her eyes and looked carefully toward the battlefield. Beneath the masked man's mask was a scarlet eye.

Though she was too far away to see clearly, her experience still allowed her to identify it.

"Sharingan!"

She drew a deep breath. "Whether he is Madara Uchiha or not, we can at least confirm that he belongs to the Uchiha Clan."

Mitokado Homura made a prompt decision and ordered in a deep voice, "Everyone, take down that masked man, dead or alive!"

As soon as the order was given, the Konoha ninja and Anbu members who had long been waiting around the area leaped out one after another, charging toward the center from all directions.

Dozens of figures rushed at "Madara" Uchiha at once. Kunai and Shuriken poured down like rain.

"Madara" Uchiha looked at the enemies flooding in from every direction, and a cold laugh came from beneath his mask.

"You think this is enough to finish me off?"

His right eye suddenly widened, the Mangekyō Sharingan spinning rapidly.

Light-blue chakra erupted from his body and rapidly condensed over his surface.

First came the ribs, then the arms, and finally a massive skeletal giant enveloped his entire body.

First stage: Susanoo Armor, half-body form.

The skeletal giant stood more than ten meters tall, its light-blue bones looking eerie and bewitching beneath the sunlight.

"Madara" Uchiha raised his hand and swung it.

Susanoo Armor's enormous arm swept out with it.

The wind howled. The dozens of Konoha ninja who had charged forward were sent flying like kites with snapped strings, crashing heavily into ruins dozens of meters away as cries of pain rose one after another.

"This is..."

Mitokado Homura's pupils shrank sharply. Even the wrinkles on his face seemed to smooth out from shock.

Utatane Koharu took two steps back, her voice trembling slightly. "Susanoo Armor... It's Susanoo Armor!"

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, she had seen Madara Uchiha use this power when she was young. That world-destroying might remained deeply etched in her memory to this day.

"We must capture him!"

Mitokado Homura shouted sternly, "We absolutely cannot let him leave Konoha. If he escapes, the consequences will be endless!"

Utatane Koharu also came to her senses and loudly ordered, "Anbu, seal off every exit! Gather more manpower! Do not let him escape!"

Orders were passed down one after another. Though fear filled their hearts, Konoha's ninja still gritted their teeth and charged forward.

Meanwhile, in the shadows on the other side, two figures silently watched everything unfold.

Orochimaru stood in the shadows, his narrow eyes fixed tightly on the light-blue skeletal half-body form in the center. An unusual gleam flickered in his pupils.

His tongue slowly slid out and licked across his lips.

"Is this the godly power passed down by the Uchiha Clan?"

Orochimaru's voice carried undisguised excitement.

"It truly is terrifying..."

Shimura Danzō stood beside Orochimaru. Half of his face was hidden beneath bandages, while his exposed eye stared fixedly at the half-body Susanoo Armor. His expression was so gloomy it seemed ready to drip water.

His fist tightened inside his sleeve, and even his body trembled faintly.

So this was the Uchiha's power...

If this power could belong to me...

If I possessed such power...

Danzo's breathing grew heavy, his eyes filled with suppressed desire and unwillingness.

In the center of the battlefield, faced with the Konoha ninja charging at him once again, "Madara" Uchiha raised his hand.

The skeletal half-body form surrounding him made the same movement.

But Genkawa Uchiha merely watched the scene quietly, curiosity in his eyes.

Sure enough, a one-eyed person could use Susanoo too. Shisui Uchiha was not the only one capable of it.

It seemed he had really driven this kid into a corner.

At that thought, he smiled instead.

"Ha ha, all of you, get out of the way!"

With a low shout, Genkawa Uchiha suddenly rushed forward.

As he moved, bright-yellow chakra erupted from around his body, then rapidly condensed across his surface.

First came the ribs, followed by the skull, and then the arms.

Just like the light-blue skeletal half-body form around "Madara" Uchiha, a bright-yellow skeletal half-body form appeared before everyone's eyes.

The same skeletal half-body form, the same chakra-coated exterior, the same first stage, the same Susanoo Armor.

Genkawa Uchiha suddenly swung his hand. The massive skeletal half-body form moved with him, curling its fingers into a fist and smashing it fiercely into the ground.

Rumble!

Amid the deafening crash, huge cracks spread across the ground. Rubble flew, and dust exploded outward.

The Konoha ninja who had charged in once more were instantly blocked by the commotion.

Then Genkawa Uchiha's voice rang out from the battlefield.

"Get out of the way! This guy is mine. Don't get in my way!"
