Futsu Sky Wheel!

Danzo's face, already covered in bulging veins, became even more ferocious the moment he unleashed his Wood Release Ninjutsu.

The veins throbbed violently beneath his skin like living things, each one swollen to an alarming degree.

He gritted his teeth, his face growing even paler from the backlash of the Hashirama Cells within him, but his hands, which were rapidly Hand Seals, did not falter even for the slightest bit due to the pain.

As he gazed Danzo Danzo's hands, which remained as steady as a rock despite the excruciating pain, a cold, sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He didn't speak, but with a thought, he suddenly increased the force of the Susanoo giant hand even further.

The two-meter-thick tree barrier, under this suddenly intensified and terrifying pressure, finally shattered with a sound of unbearable strain!

The entire wooden wall was shattered in less than a breath, turning into countless pieces of wood and vines flying everywhere.

Danzo's figure was exposed to the attack range of Susanoo's giant hand in that instant.

But just before the giant hand was about to touch him, his hands, which were frantically Hand Seals, finally stopped.

"Wind Release - Vacuum Great Sphere!!"

Danzo a deep breath, expanding his chest to its limit, and suddenly unleashed a massive wind pressure cannon with an extremely wide range towards Susanoo, which was right in front of him.

The diameter of that wind pressure cannon was astonishing; the high-speed rotating wind blades frantically cut through the air inside the cannon, tearing it into countless sharp hissing sounds.

At the same time, Danzo used the immense recoil from releasing his Wind Release technique to violently fling his body backward.

Just as Susanoo was about to touch him, he dodged the attack range of Susanoo's giant hand.

Susanoo Danzo that had been hit head-on by the Vacuum Great Sphere, a hint of undisguised smugness flashing in his eyes.

With the all-around enhancement brought by the Hashirama Cells, the power of the Vacuum Great Sphere has been raised to a terrifying level.

In the instant the Kunai made contact with the skeleton, he had already estimated the approximate hardness of this Susanoo layer.

The Susanoo skeleton is indeed terrifyingly hard; ordinary Ninjutsu would probably not even leave a scratch on it.

However, in my own calculations, the power of this Vacuum Great Sphere is absolutely enough to tear a crack in the surface of Susanoo!

As long as there is a breakthrough, he will have the opportunity to launch his next attack directly at that brat!

"To be so careless and underestimate his opponent after gaining power... This brat is ultimately just a foolish Uchiha."

Danzo sneered in a low voice, his hands continuing to rapidly Hand Seals in mid-air.

He will not give Kou any chance to breathe.

"Wind Release - Vacuum Serial Waves!!"

Countless high-speed air bullets shot out from his mouth, each one precisely targeting the Susanoo that was being struck head-on by the Vacuum Great Sphere.

The air bullets were so densely packed that they almost completely covered all the space around Kouchi to dodge.

Danzo's gaze pierced through the trails of the wind projectiles, locking onto the location of Susanoo.

He was certain that Susanoo's defenses would be damaged after taking a direct hit from a Vacuum Great Sphere at close range.

Under the coverage of this vast Vacuum Serial Waves, no matter how fast the knocking speed is, there is absolutely no time to dodge all the attacks.

Without the defense of Susanoo, the only way to withstand this combo is to be severely injured!

Danzo the intense pain coursing through his body and frantically calculated in his mind.

His hands had already begun to form a hand seal for a technique.

He wanted to take advantage of the kid's flustered reaction to the Vacuum Serial Waves to deliver the final blow!

But just as Danzo's gaze fell on the location of Kō, his left eye, which was already bloodshot due to the backlash from the Hashirama Cells, suddenly widened to its limit!

The scene of Susanoo being defeated did not occur.

To be precise, there wasn't even a sound of the Vacuum Great Sphere hitting the Susanoo skeleton.

The giant wind pressure cannon that Danzo had Danzo so much hope in vanished into thin air the moment it touched the Susanoo's skeleton, as if it had been sucked away by something.

Not only the Vacuum Great Sphere, but also the dozens of Vacuum Serial Waves air bullets that followed it all silently disappeared into the blue skeleton before they even made contact with Susanoo.

Danzo suddenly realized something, and his pupils contracted sharply!

"That's that brat's Mangekyō Sharingan... Dōjutsu!!"

Within Susanoo, Kō activates the Dōjutsu "Inari God" in his right eye, absorbing all the pure Wind Release Chakra enhanced by Hashirama Cells.

He licked his lips, feeling the Chakra that instantly filled his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Thank you for your hospitality.

He then raised his head again, looking mockingly at the old face contorted with shock and fear in mid-air. A playful smile slowly curved his lips.

"Next... it's my turn!"

He slowly uttered these words, and then, in the instant his gaze sharpened again, he poured the power in his eyes into his Susanoo without reservation.

"Condense!"

With a low shout and a knock, Susanoo, which had only remained in its skeletal form, began to undergo a dramatic change.

Two cold, blue lights suddenly shone from those empty eye sockets!

Like a ignited flame of the soul, countless muscle fibers and meridians made of Chakra began to spread rapidly along those blue bones!

From the ribs to the chest cavity, from the shoulder blades to the upper arms, from the spine to the waist and abdomen...

Layers of flesh and blood covered it, transforming the Susanoo, which was originally just a skeleton, into a complete half-body outline in less than a breath!

The surface of those Chakra muscles gleamed with a bluish-green light identical to that of the bones, and the knotted muscles and bulging veins were clearly visible, resembling a majestic blue demon god!

Susanoo - Second Form, Activate!

As Susanoo fully evolved into its second form, a massive blade wheel, matching its size, materialized in its left hand!

The giant wheel was entirely bluish-black, with edges as thin as a knife blade and a thicker center. Its surface was covered with twisted Mangekyo patterns, and it slowly rotated under the dim light of the ground lamp.

Kou controlled Susanoo, slowly raising the giant wheel and pointing it at Danzo in mid-air, then suddenly swung his arm down!

The giant wheel flew out of Susanoo's hand and spun at an incredible speed as it hurtled toward Danzo!

The wheel rim tore through rings of bluish-white sonic boom clouds in the air, and the entire underground base's stone walls trembled simultaneously under the impact of the sonic boom!

On the ceiling, several glass lampshades could not withstand the terrifying pressure and shattered the moment it passed by!

Koko raised his head and coldly looked at Danzo, who was desperately adjusting his body in mid-air, trying to find an Danzo to dodge during his fall.

He stared at Danzo's left eye, which had suddenly shrunk to its limit, and coldly uttered the name of his own Susanoo's companion artifact:

"Futo-The Sky Wheel of the Soaring Sky!!"
