Three Inches of Humanity, Taking the Stage!

The Complete Body Susanoo raised its arm high toward the heavens.

Rumble! The sea of azure lightning churned as it began gathering in a fixed pattern, dividing the sky into five regions!

The arm Susanoo had raised came crashing down.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth split and the heavens shook. Five lightning pillars, each a hundred meters wide, pierced through heaven and earth, nearly covering every enemy within the battlefield!

Susanoo raised its hand and formed a seal.

—Takemikazuchi: Five Directions Thunder Ring!

The five lightning pillars rotated in alternation, maintaining a saturated barrage!

Ever since the massacre two months ago, information regarding Shin Uchiha had become known to every ninja. Sasuke Uchiha could not possibly have been unaware.

He knew these enemies could use the Uchiha forbidden technique, Izanagi.

He had to keep up an unceasing, saturated assault without allowing them to undo Izanagi. Only by exceeding Izanagi's duration could he eliminate them completely!

The ground of Phantom City was utterly empty. Every building had sunk underground, and neither ninja nor civilians were anywhere to be seen.

This was Sasuke's arrangement. To avoid casualties, he intended to wipe out the invading enemies by himself!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Surrounded by lightning pillars, Sasuke's gaze burned. "Five Directions Thunder Ring is a technique I developed specifically to deal with people who can use Izanagi! I will never let you destroy Itachi's life's work. This city will be defended to the end by Sasuke Uchiha!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! The lightning pillars alternated over and over. Two minutes, three minutes, four minutes passed...

A faint smile curled at Sasuke's lips. "Heh, this is even easier than expected. In one more minute, these people will be completely wiped out!"

Boom! Boom!

A sudden change occurred. Thick trees sprouted from beside Susanoo's feet
