Susanoo Setting Supplement

Greetings, fellow cultivators. Zhu Zai here.

This is not a main story chapter, only a supplement to the Susanoo settings. Fellow cultivators who do not need these details may skip it directly.

Considering that some fellow cultivators may have questions about the terms I use for Susanoo in the story, such as "Susanoo Stage," "Susanoo Stage," and so on, I'll standardize the terminology here. This will be the reference going forward.

The following Susanoo settings were compiled from the original work, information from various sources, and my own understanding.

Susanoo Form Settings:

Principle: A high-output form of Chakra release that materializes energy into an extremely dense Chakra body, transforming the user into a burly war god for battle. It grows in stages as the user's Eye Power strengthens, making it the ultimate ocular technique that combines offense and defense.

Susanoo Stage: Ribcage + arms. It could be used for attacks, defense, protection, control, and many other purposes. The body was not completely encased by Susanoo, leaving large gaps, but its defensive power was already sufficient to withstand most attacks.

Susanoo Stage: A skeletal upper body, shaped like a skeleton. Chakra completely covered the body, further increasing its defensive power, though gaps remained beneath its feet. Excessively powerful attacks could still break through its defense. At this stage, Susanoo could wield simple weapons such as ordinary swords, and its attacks were ordinary physical attacks.

Susanoo Stage: Skeletal upper body + muscles. On top of the skeleton, it was covered in meridians and flesh and blood, wrapped in coat-like Chakra. It could undo the Cursed Seal and use its own exclusive weapons and Ninjutsu, such as the Yata Mirror and bows. This type of Susanoo had the best balance. Madara's two-faced little blue man and Sasuke's crossbowman frequently used this form before obtaining Six Paths Power. At the same time, Susanoo in this state could use the universal long-range attack Ninjutsu—Yasaka Magatama.

Susanoo Stage Tengu: Upper body + Crow Tengu armor. Crow Tengu armor was added to Susanoo's original form, greatly increasing its defense and expanding the variety of weapons it could use, such as the Totsuka Sword and Kagutsuchi Sword. This Susanoo was immensely powerful, but its Chakra consumption also rose sharply, and it was extremely unstable. An ordinary Mangekyo could hardly maintain this form for long; it was the limit of an ordinary Mangekyo. Only an Eternal Mangekyo could allow this Susanoo to grow legs and become taller than mountains.

Susanoo Stage Body: Unlocked the full-body form. Based on the Second Stage form, it added a lower body and legs while greatly increasing its size. The caster would be positioned within Susanoo's head. In terms of weapons, it could not only use Susanoo's original exclusive weapons, but also the wide-range "Susanoo Sword." This form stood between the Second Stage and the Complete Body. While retaining the Second Stage's balance and all of its abilities, it also gained outstanding mobility, making up for the defensive gaps beneath its feet.

Susanoo Stage Body: Based on the Third Stage Crow Tengu, its body rose from the ground, shedding the upper-body limitation as its armor further fused together. It was called the "true Susanoo," the complete form of Susanoo that only those who had pushed the Eye Power of the Mangekyo Sharingan to its limit and possessed enormous Chakra could Opened. At this point, Susanoo became extraordinarily gigantic, its Chakra stabilized, and its power could not only effortlessly cleave apart mountains and meteors, but also grant it the ability to fly. It could also form Hand Seals to use the caster's specialty techniques.

Susanoo Stage: Based on the Third Stage Crow Tengu, Susanoo was used as armor and equipped onto the Nine-Tails, combining the Nine-Tails' overwhelming power with Susanoo's formidable defense. It could also use Susanoo's weapons and coordinate with Tailed Beast Balls to unleash techniques.

Susanoo Stage Body: Susanoo replaced the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as the vessel for Tailed Beast Chakra, fusing the Chakra into a humanoid form and perfectly combining the powers of the Tailed Beasts and Susanoo. At this point, Susanoo was as powerful as a demon god and could unleash its strongest technique, "Indra's Arrow," with tremendous power. According to the Nine-Tails, Sasuke's degree of fusion with Tailed Beast Chakra rivaled that of the Sage of Six Paths.
