Sensing the fluctuations of Chakra coming from not far away, Ensei Uchiha jumped off the beast leading the pack and pressed his hands against the ground, forming seals.

Earth Style: Hardening Technique.

This ninjutsu was originally intended to harden one's own body, but if the direction of the technique were shifted, it could naturally produce effects on other objects as well.

As for hardening a vast expanse of land like Ensei Uchiha was doing, the amount of Chakra required would likely only be satisfied by a Jinchuriki.

However, for the current Ensei Uchiha, what was sealed within his body was a level of Chakra that was in no way inferior to the Nine-Tails.

Soon, with the injection of a massive amount of Chakra, the surrounding land began to change color, spreading toward the distance in the wake of the beast army.

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage, who had already returned to the Kumogakure camp, was directing all his Earth Style ninjas to perform terrain-altering techniques.

Kumogakure had very few Earth Style ninjas, and the effectiveness of their combined techniques was questionable, but to deal with the incoming horde of Ninja Beasts, this was the only option left.

They did not need powerful ninjutsu; they only needed to create a wide trench in the direction the beast horde was advancing.

Fortunately, the sensory ninjas of Kumogakure had detected the movements from Konoha in time and had decisively gathered the Earth Style ninjas.

Otherwise, it would likely have been too late.

"Where on earth did that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi get an army of Ninja Beasts of this scale?"

Having done everything he could, the Fourth Raikage began to ponder the problems a Raikage should consider.

But soon, another piece of bad news arrived.

"Lord Raikage, the land in the surrounding area has all been affected by a ninjutsu; our Earth Style has failed."

Hearing his subordinate's report, the Fourth Raikage's expression changed drastically.

"Killer B, Yugito! Use full Tailed Beast transformation, everyone else... run!"

Following the Fourth Raikage's order, the full form of the Eight-Tails appeared on the battlefield, preparing to block the incoming herd.

"Hey! Gyuki, how about you cut off a tail for me?"

Ensei Uchiha's voice rang out abruptly across the battlefield.

The next moment, a pale blue giant appeared before everyone, striking a fist toward the Eight-Tails.

Facing the attack, Killer B was naturally fearless, swinging his own fist to meet it.

The two massive fists collided, emitting a deafening sound; the Genin and even some Chunin present were affected by the resulting shockwave.

"Damn it!"

Accompanied by a roar of anger, the Fourth Raikage's fist struck heavily against the lower leg of the Susanoo.

As cracks appeared, the Susanoo controlled by Ensei Uchiha lost control for a split second.

Killer B, on the opposite side, seized this opening perfectly; he condensed a Tailed Beast Bomb in his mouth, aimed it at the direction of Ensei Uchiha, and fired it directly.

The Eight-Tails condensed the Tailed Beast Bomb with great speed; Ensei Uchiha had only just noticed it before he was hit square in the face.

"Is it because I didn't activate the Mangekyo Sharingan, or are these two just too strong?"

Ensei Uchiha's main body watched the shattered Susanoo in the distance, feeling a sense of regret.

It was a pity that the Shadow Clone could only carry enough ocular power to activate the third stage of Susanoo.

Otherwise, the fourth stage—the form clad in Crow Tengu Armor—should not have been so easily dealt with.

As for why Ensei Uchiha could use Susanoo without activating the Mangekyo Sharingan...

Don't let the name Susanoo make it sound overly profound; in reality, it is merely the manifestation of ocular power.

Theoretically, as long as anyone has enough Chakra in their body, they can create a similar form.

Generally, only the ocular power of a Mangekyo Sharingan is sufficient for Susanoo to manifest, and even then, it cannot be maintained for long, or the Mangekyo Sharingan itself would not be able to support it.

But for Ensei Uchiha, the one thing he currently lacked the least was ocular power.

With nearly endless ocular power, the vessel was no longer important to Susanoo.

As for the difference between the ocular power of the Byakugan and the Mangekyo Sharingan...

Is it a difference in color? In any case, Ensei Uchiha had used it for so long without noticing any difference.

Perhaps the origins of the Sharingan and the Byakugan are quite similar.

There was one more point: the ocular power of a single Byakugan is difficult to extract, but it is a different story when there are many of them.

On the other side, Killer B, noticing the Susanoo slowly dissipating, was searching for Ensei Uchiha's corpse.

Beside him, the Fourth Raikage watched with a livid expression, reminding him:

"Stop looking, that guy was just a Shadow Clone."

At this point, the Fourth Raikage no longer demanded that Killer B stop the beast horde.

Because in the time that had just passed, those who could survive among the beast horde no longer needed them to save them, and as for those who couldn't...

They were likely already ground into meat paste by now.

Although most of the casualties were Genin and Chunin, the sheer number was enough to affect the normal development of a ninja village.

From this perspective, Kumogakure had already lost this war.

After all, Jonin are grown from the ranks of Chunin and Genin.

"Yugito, are you ready yet?"

Accompanied by the Fourth Raikage's furious roar, a figure resembling a cat wreathed in flames finally appeared on the battlefield.

Compared to Killer B's perfect Jinchuriki state, Yugito's control over the Two-Tails was exceptionally strained; even when she managed to force a full Tailed Beast transformation, it was extremely prone to spiraling out of control.

"Attack! Today, we must make that damned brat leave his life behind."

"Use the Tailed Beast Bomb, don't worry about the casualties."

Just as the Fourth Raikage finished speaking, the expression on Killer B's face turned somewhat strange.

Moments ago, he had been chatting with the Eight-Tails in his mental space, and the Eight-Tails wanted him to ask how the opponent knew his name.

But at a moment like this, it was naturally impossible to capture the opponent alive.

The Tailed Beast Bombs from the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails began to condense, but before they could be fired, they were struck by an unknown force.

After the attack, the Yin and Yang Chakra, which had not yet fully stabilized, simply stalled, then cracked and dissipated like a massive black sphere.

"I can't let that move be fired, or I'd lose face!"

Following Ensei Uchiha's words, Susanoo appeared on the battlefield once again.

Only this time, it was Ensei Uchiha's true body taking action, and the ocular power within him was virtually infinite.

The Complete Body Susanoo had finally reappeared in the Shinobi World.

At this moment, the Susanoo's size had become abnormally massive, nearly twice as large as before, with wings on its back and four arms.

In those four hands, it gripped four enormous Chakra blades that looked as solid as reality itself.

"Since you aren't willing to give it to me, I'll just take it myself."

Susanoo engaged the Eight-Tails in battle once more, but this time, because the ocular power was sufficient, its speed, defense, and strength were all practically overwhelming.

If not for the Fourth Raikage stepping in to assist, Killer B would likely have already been defeated.

As for the Two-Tails... the Two-Tails was currently still fighting against itself.

"Big Brother, the enemy is very strong."

It was the first time Killer B had encountered an enemy he couldn't handle even with a full Tailed Beast transformation; he had no time for rapping now, his expression exceptionally grave.

"I can feel it..."

The Fourth Raikage endured the pain radiating through his body, his mind racing to find a way to break the deadlock.

Previously, the Fourth Raikage's attacks could break through the Susanoo's defense, but now his strikes could barely serve as a distraction.

If he wanted to secure victory in this war, there was only one way...

Thinking this, the Fourth Raikage's figure vanished in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he had charged into the Konoha ninja camp.
