Tsumugari Great Blade, Draw!

The vast golden divine light illuminated the world.

Nearly a hundred meters tall, with red brows and golden eyes, clad in armor, a blade in his right hand and a divine gourd in his left.

Golden light swirled around him!

Uchiha Genmei sat within the deity's skull, the intricate patterns of his Sharingan blazing with crimson light!

He felt a little amazed.

His first time using Susanoo, and it was already this enormous. He felt like he still had strength to spare.

Was it because he had strengthened himself with Aura Epiphany? Unlike Sasuke and Itachi, he felt no pain around his body when he activated it.

That had been close just now. Even though he could use Susanoo with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan thanks to his cheat, it probably wouldn't have been enough to defend against a Tailed Beast Bomb.

The Mangekyo state was still safer.

He needed to conserve his eye power and end this quickly!

While Genmei was still adjusting Susanoo,

Gyobu, in his Tailed Beast Transformation, watched Uchiha Genmei turn into a golden giant god in an instant.

His face troubled, he managed to say, "Dodai... you should retreat."

"Do you want me to abandon a comrade like you, Gyobu?" Dodai said, snapping back to his senses, utterly dejected.

"Then tell me what we should do, Lord Dodai! The enemy before us is already beyond anything you can deal with!"

"Disappear already! Don't get in my way!!!"

Hearing Gyobu's furious roar, Dodai lowered his head, his expression unreadable.

That was right. Before this power, he couldn't do a thing.

No matter how many schemes he had, they were all a joke in the face of absolute strength. He needed to preserve himself for the future.

Uchiha!

Konoha!

We're not done yet.

Kumogakure will absolutely—absolutely—

repay this helplessness!

He turned around, his lips moving.

Then he vanished with the Body Flicker Technique.

"Dodai, you have to make it back to the village alive."

Dodai's parting words reached Gyobu's ears. He grinned and scoffed.

"I'll do it for sure, even if you don't tell me to!"

His heart sank. He would have to fight with everything he had!

"Did that rat abandon you, Jinchūriki?" Uchiha Genmei said, unbothered by Dodai's escape.

Looking at the Jinchūriki before him in his Tailed Beast Transformation, he had a sudden inspiration.

Perhaps he could do it this way.

"Never mind. You're the more interesting one, little kitty."

Genmei's lips curled into a cruel smile. He cried out:

"Now, Susanoo-no-Mikoto descends once more! The Thousand Steel Sword stands upon the earth, wielded to smite demons and dispel evil!"

"Tsumugari Great Blade, draw!"

The golden giant raised the divine sword in his hand.

The heavens and earth trembled!

A colossal sword beam filled the sky, its golden edge illuminating the entire world.

Nothing could stand in its way!

The invincible sword cleaved through everything.

The air, the earth, and even the Cloud Ninja who hadn't managed to escape in time!

The sword beam cleaved through All Creations and surged into the clouds!

That brutal strike shattered everything into pieces.

"Hahahahahaha! Everything is so fragile!"

Uchiha Genmei laughed wildly.

Even the sound of the collapsing heavens and earth could not drown him out.

A moment later, silence fell.

Looking at the Jinchūriki lying on the ground, barely breathing,

the giant raised the gourd in his left hand.

A divine elixir poured over him.

"Let's see if it's as I thought!"

The golden giant strode toward him.

Uchiha Yuta and the Military Police Force finished dealing with the last of the enemies.

They released the Uchiha Flame Formation surrounding Hell Valley.

The hellfire around Hell Valley faded away.

The Uchiha gathered together.

All eyes were fixed on the golden giant standing in the forest.

Their gazes were filled with shock!

One of the Military Police Force captains walked over to Yuta.

Trembling, he said, "Lord Yuta... that's Susanoo, isn't it?"

"That's the ultimate divine power of our clan... Lord Genmei is only fifteen."

Uchiha Yuta's pupils quivered violently, but he said nothing.

He was too shocked to speak.

That was right.

It was the guardian deity, Susanoo, which could only be obtained by awakening those eyes!

At present, only Naka, Rai, Baru, and Lord Kagami in the clan possessed those eyes!

And Lord Genmei had actually...

Thinking of the report he had just sent out,

he realized he had already thought very highly of Lord Genmei...

Uchiha Yuta shivered.

Could they really win?

Elsewhere,

while Uchiha Genmei was fighting the Cloud Ninja, before he had deployed Susanoo,

Gabimaru rushed to Tenshukaku.

Worried about his wife, he ignored everything around him.

Traps? There were sure to be some.

An ambush? He didn't care.

Could he die? He hadn't considered it.

He stood before Chinoike Gosho.

Gabimaru said coldly, "Lord Gosho, I came as you asked."

"Where's Yui?"

Chinoike Gosho opened his arms as he looked at Gabimaru, who had come as promised.

"Gabimaru, come with me and leave this place. We'll go to Kumogakure and make our clan's name resound throughout the Shinobi World once more."

"Where is Yui!" Gabimaru snarled at Gosho, ignoring his words.

"Don't get worked up, Gabimaru. Let's leave Hell Valley first, then we can talk."

"I'm asking you, where is Yui?!"

Chinoike Gosho lowered his outstretched hands and sighed helplessly.

"Fine. Bring that girl here."

A shinobi from Oyashiro carried the unconscious young woman into the clearing.

Seeing his unconscious wife, Gabimaru grew agitated.

"What did you do to Yui?!"

"Nothing. We just knocked her out. She was making too much noise along the way."

Hearing Chinoike Gosho's explanation,

Gabimaru's brow relaxed.

"Give Yui to me."

He started forward, but Gosho raised a hand.

Several shinobi immediately blocked his way.

His gaze darkened as he watched them.

Gabimaru said coldly, "What does this mean?"

"I told you, you're leaving with us. You'll get your wife once we reach our destination."

"What if I say no?"

"Then don't blame us for using force to make you submit."

Gabimaru's thoughts churned.

What should he do? What could he do?

Yui was in their hands. They wanted him to leave with them? He had already resolved to repay his lord.

But he couldn't agree.

Yui was in their hands.

What should he do?

Just then,

with a bang, smoke billowed around them.

The protective charm in the blonde girl's arms shattered.

A figure appeared.

With two sharp slashes, he cut down the shinobi holding the girl hostage.

Holding the blonde girl, he watched the scene before him with amusement.

"Yo~"

"Good evening, everyone."

Everyone present stared at him, eyes wide.

Gabimaru cried out in delight, "My lord!"

It was Uchiha Genmei!

Chinoike Gosho shouted in disbelief, "Uchiha Genmei?! How is that possible?"

Genmei glanced at the man raging helplessly.

Then, in a playful tone, he continued speaking to Gabimaru.

"So, what do you think? My protective charm was pretty good, wasn't it?"

"My lord... was that the Transformation Technique?"

Uchiha Genmei leapt onto the roof with the girl in his arms.

He opened his Sharingan and stared at Gabimaru.

His expression turned serious as he said:

"Based on years of Military Police Force records, I deduced that Gosho was planning something big."

"I made the protective charm using one of my Shadow Clones and the Transformation Technique. I made it for this very moment."

Looking at Gabimaru's hesitation,

Genmei continued, speaking plainly:

"I won't say more. I'll tell you everything. Don't resist my eye power."

[Genjutsu: Sharingan]

In the blink of an eye,

Gabimaru understood everything in the world of the genjutsu.

So that was how it was!

His life really was a tragedy.

A hoarse voice came from his mouth:

"My lord, take Yui and leave."

"I'll settle this!"
