Fugaku Uchiha stood tall in the center of the field, his pinwheel-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan radiating an eerie yet majestic red glow as they locked firmly onto Kyohaku Uchiha ahead of him. Vast, cold chakra brimming with destruction swirled around him almost tangibly, bringing a suffocating pressure.
Every watching Uchiha clansman held their breath, their eyes filled with reverence, fervor, and a trace of fear. Was this the power praised as "the power of gods," which only the Mangekyō Sharingan could unlock? Merely sensing that aura made their souls tremble, leaving them unable to muster even the slightest will to resist.
Fugaku's mind was clear. Competing with Kyohaku in conventional taijutsu, ninjutsu, or even ocular Genjutsu offered no chance of victory. His opponent's unfathomable reserves of chakra, bizarre and powerful Four-Tomoe Sharingan perception, and devastating Lava Release kekkei genkai had all far exceeded the scope of ordinary countermeasures. If the battle dragged on, defeat was inevitable!
Only by relying on the ultimate power of these eyes could he decide the battle in a single strike!
Without a moment's hesitation, the Mangekyō patterns in his eyes spun wildly as he pushed his ocular power to its limit!
"Hah—!"
With a suppressed roar, extreme Yin Release chakra erupted and condensed around him! Golden chakra bones, almost solid in form, materialized from thin air with a teeth-grating creak, rapidly assembling into shape!
In the blink of an eye, an enormous, translucent upper-body chakra skeletal giant radiating dazzling golden light stood proudly in the center of the square! It completely enveloped Fugaku and gave off a terrifying aura as heavy as a mountain and as imposing as a god!
Susanoo! First form!
"G-Godly power!"
"So this is Susanoo!"
"Clan Head Fugaku actually mastered such power!"
Cries of shock, admiration, and even weeping rang out among
