Appearance

Susanoo manifests as a gigantic humanoid construct of chakra, beginning as a skeletal frame before developing armor, limbs, weaponry, and more elaborate fused forms. Its appearance varies by user and configuration. 2 3 42

• Skeletal form — a half-body chakra skeleton capable of shielding its user and wielding a katana. 2
• Armored form — layered chakra armor surrounds the construct, allowing it to absorb or repel heavy attacks. 2 21
• Eyes — giant crimson Sharingan-like eyes are visible on several of Yoru’s manifestations. 9 21
• Coloration — Yoru’s Susanoo is depicted in purple and deep blue chakra, while Itachi’s is crimson, Madara’s is deep blue, and Toneri’s evolved form is green. 3 21 45 77
• Great Buddha form — Yoru’s highest documented construct combines Susanoo armor with a thousand-armed Wood Release Buddha; it possesses six arms, wings, and massive chakra blades. 42 43
• Solar Mode — the lunar form bears blue-purple armor traced by glowing green, rune-like veins and mounts a Chakra Gatling Cannon over one hundred meters long. 77

Abilities & Skills

Chakra Armor and Manifestation

Susanoo functions as a chakra construct rather than a physical body. It can be summoned in partial or complete forms and positioned around its user as both armor and a combat avatar. 2 4

• Itachi states that conventional activation requires both Mangekyō Sharingan, immense chakra, and exceptional spiritual energy. 2
• Yoru can manifest a skeletal frame almost instantly to intercept attacks. 4 5
• Because the construct is chakra rather than physical matter, Yoru can dismiss it to deprive Amaterasu of a target; the black flames vanish once its chakra fuel is removed. 4
• Yoru’s reserves allow him to create twenty shadow clones that each manifest Susanoo, surrounding Itachi with simultaneous chakra-blade attacks. 4

Defensive Power

Susanoo’s armor withstands attacks that would devastate conventional defenses.

• Itachi’s Great Fireball Technique fails to damage Yoru’s armor. 2
• Sarutobi Hiruzen’s Adamantine Staff produces only brief ripples across the armor. 8
• Gamabunta’s Mountain Breaker Slash and Water Cannon leave no substantial damage. 21
• Pain’s Shinra Tensei, Asura Path artillery, summoned beasts, and a combined five-element barrage fail to breach Yoru’s Perfect Susanoo. 35 43
• Minato’s Sage Art: Spiraling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Zero inflicts a deep crack in the Great Buddha armor’s left shoulder, demonstrating that sufficiently extreme force can damage it without fully destroying it. 43

Chakra Blades

Yoru’s Susanoo commonly fights with enormous chakra blades, including a paired-blade configuration capable of devastating broad areas.

• A single swing can pulverize ruins, tear trenches into the ground, and destroy buildings through its shockwave. 2 21
• During the assault on Konoha, its twin blades cut through Earth Wall, Water Wall, and Hyūga Hiashi’s Rotation. 8
• Its strikes slaughter Root personnel and reduce their base to ruins. 12
• The blade severs several of the Eight-Tails’ tentacles in one attack. 28
• It cuts through Pain’s summons and overpowers Deva Path’s Shinra Tensei. 35

Susanoo Great Buddha

Yoru combines Susanoo with Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands: Top-Transformed Buddha, armoring the Buddha in a Perfect Susanoo.

• The construct stands above Hashirama, Hiruzen, and Minato’s Edo Tensei Giant Buddha. 42 43
• Its many arms can shatter the opposing Buddha’s defensive arms through repeated strikes. 43
• It resists the combined attacks of the three Hokage and ultimately defeats their giant Buddha. 43 44
• Madara considers it powerful enough to defeat Hashirama head-on and recognizes it as Susanoo pushed beyond ordinary limits. 45
• During the Allied Shinobi Forces battle, its thousand palms obliterate elite Iwagakure and Sunagakure ninja and suppress several Tailed Beasts. 57

Ten Thousand Swords Into One

The Susanoo Great Buddha manifests a giant blade in each of its numerous hands before consolidating their force into a single decisive strike. 43

• The technique is initiated after the Great Buddha overwhelms the Hokage’s construct. 43
• A later use merges the Buddha’s countless fists into one sun-blocking blow against the Allied Shinobi Forces. 57

Solar Mode and Chakra Gatling Cannon

On the moon, Yoru’s Susanoo-Buddha fusion absorbs surrounding natural energy and becomes the Susanoo Thousand-Armed Buddha Solar Mode. 77

• The form resonates with the moon’s natural field and channels Sage Chakra through its armor. 77
• It manifests a Chakra Gatling Cannon on its shoulder, combining a modern mechanical design with chakra construction. 77
• The cannon is enhanced with Sage Chakra and Yin-Yang Release. 78
• Its firepower destroys Toneri’s Tensei Blast before the attack reaches Yoru. 77
• It defeats Toneri’s Armored Susanoo, leaving Toneri’s construct shattered. 78

Story Role / Major Arcs

Uchiha Clan Massacre

Susanoo first appears when Yoru activates a half-body skeletal form against Itachi. The construct protects him from Fire Style, manifests a chakra katana, and establishes the overwhelming gap between the two Uchiha. 2 Itachi later answers with his own crimson half-body Susanoo and Totsuka Blade, but Yoru escalates to a colossal full-body form and ultimately overwhelms Itachi with twenty clone-generated Susanoo. 3 4

Assault on Konoha and Root

Yoru uses Susanoo to attack Konoha’s major clan compounds, cutting through the village’s layered defenses and confronting Hiruzen and Danzō. 8 The construct kills Chōza, Shikaku, and the Hokage’s advisers during the conflict. 9 Yoru subsequently deploys Perfect Susanoo to raze Root’s base and annihilate its defenders. 12

Battles Against Jiraiya, Kumogakure, and Pain

A giant blue Susanoo dwarfs the Nine-Tails and defeats Gamabunta’s attempts to break its armor, forcing Jiraiya into a desperate attempt to complete Sage Mode. 21 22 Yoru later summons a purple Susanoo against Kumogakure, cutting off the Eight-Tails’ tentacles and devastating the Cloud forces. 28 In Amegakure, his Perfect Susanoo endures Shinra Tensei and destroys Pain’s summons and paths. 35

Hokage and Madara Battles

Yoru develops the Susanoo Great Buddha to counter the three Hokage’s Edo Tensei giant Buddha. The fused construct breaks their defense and enables Yoru to capture the Hokage with Truth-Seeking Orbs. 42 43 44 Madara later challenges the Great Buddha with his own blue Susanoo, but cannot meaningfully damage its structure. 45 46

Fourth Ninja World War

Yoru and Madara manifest paired Susanoo constructs against the Allied Shinobi Forces. Yoru’s Armored Susanoo Great Buddha exceeds Madara’s Susanoo Wood Golem in scale and force, crushes the Allied Forces’ resistance, and compels the surviving shinobi to surrender. 56 57 58

Moon Conflict

Against Toneri, Yoru’s Susanoo survives an explosive lunar-scale clash and counters Toneri’s evolved green Susanoo. 77 Yoru then evolves his construct into Solar Mode, equips it with a Chakra Gatling Cannon, and defeats Toneri’s Armored Susanoo. 77 78
