Susanoo: Tsukumo

Douyang smiled. "Guy, leave this to Shisui and me."

Guy hesitated. "You two..."

Shisui said, "There's no time to explain. Have faith in your comrades, Guy."

Since both Shisui and Douyang had said so,

Guy could hardly insist any further. He immediately hoisted Kakashi onto his shoulder and fled.

Naturally, the Mist Ninja would not let Guy leave with Kakashi. They dispatched twenty elite ninja to pursue them relentlessly.

The Kirigakure jonin leading the group studied Douyang and Shisui with interest, his expression turning pleasantly surprised. "Now I remember. You're the Uchiha Twin Stars, Body Flicker and the Uncanny Physician."

Douyang smiled. "Being remembered by an enemy isn't something I find pleasing."

The Kirigakure jonin laughed heartily. "As long as I take you two down, I'll have earned merit rather than blame, even with the supply point destroyed."

Douyang said nothing more, sweeping a grim look over his surroundings instead.

There were over a hundred Mist Ninja in total, at least twenty of whom were jonin.

The logistical supply point was vital. Now that they had blown it up, it was easy to imagine large numbers of Mist Ninja heading their way.

They could not drag this out any longer.

They had to finish this quickly.

Douyang and Shisui exchanged a glance.

The former used Sukunahikona and vanished, while the latter immediately activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and unleashed Susanoo.

"What?"

The Kirigakure jonin stared in shock at the green giant rising from the ground.

The Mangekyō Sharingan-the ultimate power of the Uchiha bloodline.

He had never expected Body Flicker Shisui to have already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

And then there was that Uncanny Physician, Douyang. He had appeared without any warning, and now he had vanished just as inexplicably.

At the sight of the green Susanoo giant, the surrounding Mist Ninja immediately unleashed ninjutsu in a ferocious assault.

The Five Basic Nature Transformations struck Susanoo's bones, sending multicolored light surging outward.

With Susanoo's formidable defenses, attacks from ordinary genin could be disregarded entirely. Only jonin could deal it any substantial damage.

All the Kirigakure jonin looked astonished at the sight of Susanoo still standing tall.

The last person to awaken Susanoo had been Madara Uchiha.

That had been decades ago, so although people knew how formidable Susanoo was, they had no clear understanding of just how powerful it could be.

Just then, Douyang suddenly appeared behind the Kirigakure jonin. To defeat the enemy, take down their leader first.

Whoosh.

He viciously thrust the Black Chakra Rod in his hand toward the man's back, aiming for his heart.

To Douyang's surprise, however, the Kirigakure jonin instantly turned into flowing water and vanished.

"A Water Clone?!"

Douyang's expression shifted slightly.

In the world of the Hokage, the Shadow Clone Technique was an utterly absurd existence.

The Sharingan could not see through it, nor could Pain's Rinnegan, or even Kaguya's Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan.

At that moment, the Kirigakure jonin stepped out of the shadows, folded his arms across his chest, and said with a light chuckle,

"What a peculiar ability. Everyone believes the Uncanny Physician isn't skilled in combat. They couldn't be more wrong."

"My name is Sora Minazuki. This will be the last Mist Ninja's name you ever hear, because you won't live to see tomorrow."

With that, Sora Minazuki hurriedly shouted, "Attack already!"

As his words fell, the twenty jonin and dozens of chunin around them immediately launched a fierce assault.

Douyang first fired several Black Chakra Rods, killing a row of chunin, then used Sukunahikona again and disappeared.

Waves of ninjutsu struck the green Susanoo, producing a string of explosions.

Sora Minazuki retreated several steps and shouted, "Attack in waves! Don't stop! Body Flicker Shisui can't hold out much longer. He can't maintain Susanoo forever. Watch out for Uchiha Douyang in the shadows. His abilities are extremely bizarre."

Just as Sora Minazuki finished speaking, a group of Kirigakure jonin leaped to positions around the green Susanoo, each unleashing their signature techniques.

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Earth Release..."

The next instant, densely packed earthen walls continuously rose from underground, trapping Susanoo within moments.

Fire Release and Wind Release intertwined, forming towering flames that engulfed Susanoo like a tidal wave.

Shisui looked warily at the twenty jonin around him and gritted his teeth.

He had to kill some of the jonin. Otherwise, if this continued, they would wear him down until he died.

Taking a deep breath, Shisui shed a trail of bloody tears from his eyes and roared, "Susanoo: Tsukumo!"

The next instant, Susanoo's breastplate opened, revealing an enormous tomoe inside.

Countless chakra arrows then shot out from within the breastplate.

Uchiha Douyang, who was hidden among the crowd, also attacked at that moment. His golden eyes, patterned like the character 米, narrowed slightly as one Daikokuten after another emerged from the Daikokuten dimension, crashing down brutally on the Mist Ninja.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

The explosions shook the entire island.

With both sides unleashing all their trump cards, a dazzling array of ninjutsu lit the valley as brightly as day.

As countless Mist Ninja lost their lives, the pressure on Shisui eased considerably.

After a long time, Susanoo: Tsukumo vanished, and the scene on the island became clear.

The twenty-odd Kirigakure jonin besieging Susanoo had suffered heavy casualties, to say nothing of the chunin and genin around them.

Shisui let out a long breath of relief, and Susanoo rapidly dissipated.

Although he had suffered no substantial injuries,

maintaining Susanoo for so long had severely depleted his ocular power, leaving him unable to use the Mangekyō Sharingan again for a while.

Compared with Shisui, Uchiha Douyang was in much better condition, but he too stood where he was, panting heavily.

Meanwhile, Sora Minazuki, who had used Earth Release to hide underground, sensed Shisui's godlike, demonic chakra suddenly disappear, and his gaze sharpened slightly.

"At Body Flicker's age, using the Mangekyō Sharingan for so long and holding out until now is already remarkable."

Susanoo had been like a god descending to earth.

It had routed twenty jonin in an instant.

But Sora Minazuki had no intention of retreating just yet.

First, he was a powerful elite jonin with a formidable trump card.

Second, Kirigakure reinforcements were on their way. No matter how powerful Body Flicker and the Uncanny Physician were, the two of them could not possibly take on an entire army.

Even someone as powerful as the Third Raikage could be overwhelmed and killed by sheer numbers.

What chance did two "inexperienced" Uchiha have?

"Body Flicker, Uncanny Physician, this day next year will be the anniversary of your deaths."

With that, Sora Minazuki mobilized half the chakra in his body and slowly formed hand seals.

Aboveground, Shisui said weakly, "Douyang, I can't hold on any longer. Get out of here."

Douyang helped Shisui up. "All right. I'll support you."

Although this fierce battle had been dangerous, they were still far from a desperate situation.

Moreover, Douyang noticed that the unlock progress on the data panel in his mind had risen to 10%.

He had gained a new ability.
