"Come on, Master!"
Tianyi raised an eyebrow. This kid was getting cocky! Then he would have to get a little serious.
His gaze fell on the dark-purple giant dozens of meters tall, and he pressed his palms together before his chest.
Sage Mode, activate!
Markings spread across Tianyi's face from his cheekbones and the corners of his eyes. Countless metal fragments began rising from the ground and the edges of the training field.
They layered, joined, and compressed in midair, eventually forming a panda covered entirely in metal armor plates.
The panda's size was kept close to that of Susanoo's third stage. When its limbs braced against the ground, a ring of dust billowed out beneath its feet.
Tianyi stood atop the panda's head, the hem of his clothes swaying faintly in the air.
The panda opened its enormous mouth and let out a deep, heavy roar. "Roar—!" The sound wave skimmed across the ground, surging forward over the gravel.
Itachi controlled Susanoo as it advanced. Its footsteps sent constant tremors through the ground, each step leaving a complete imprint in the rocky terrain.
Once it reached the intended distance, it kicked off with both feet. Susanoo leaped high into the air, raising its long sword overhead before bringing it down with all its strength, the blade aimed directly at the panda's head.
"Everyone! Fall back one kilometer!"
The surrounding Uchiha Clan elites instantly retreated. At the sight of that slash, they all held their breath—clashes of this level were rarely seen.
As Tianyi stood atop the panda's head, just before that blade fell, a sinister smile curled across his lips.
