First came the skeleton.
Then came the meridians.
Then, flesh and blood.
Finally, there emerged a majestic, divine figure gleaming with dark-purple light, like a god descending upon the world... the Perfect Susanoo!
It was too massive.
Its body stood several hundred meters tall, nearly occupying the entire sky above Howling Valley.
It was a true demon god, clad in armor and armed to the teeth.
It radiated the beauty of power and destruction.
Its hundred-meter-tall body cast a shadow that blotted out the sky, making Kagami Uchiha's Susanoo look like a tiny, pathetic toy.

A piercing metallic crash rang out, so shrill it made their souls tremble.
The enormous Chakra blade struck the Perfect Susanoo's shoulder armor solidly.

The dark-purple demon god did not move in the slightest.
"Do you see it, Kagami Uchiha?"
"This is the gap between us."
"Your so-called resolve, your so-called will, is worthless before my absolute power."
"The so-called recognition from the village that you spent your entire life pursuing was nothing more than a bone Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō threw at you."
"And for that bone, you were even willing to bare your fangs at your own brethren."
"You are not the shame of the Uchiha."
"You are the Uchiha's... sorrow."
