The surging chakra within Xin erupted in an instant.
Deep blue chakra gushed from his body like tangible flames, shooting straight into the clouds.
In midair, the chakra rapidly formed bones, meridians, and flesh before donning a thick suit of Crow Tengu armor.
A Perfect Susanoo hundreds of meters tall rose from the ground.
The enormous warrior god held twin swords, wings sprouting from its back. It blotted out the sunlight and radiated a terrifying pressure that threatened to destroy heaven and earth.
This was Xin's first time using the complete Perfect Form in actual combat.
Manda's wild laughter cut off abruptly.
He raised his head to gaze up at the blue warrior god towering hundreds of meters above him, every scale on his body standing on end.
"Th-this is the Uchiha Clan's Susanoo!"
Manda's voice trembled with fear, his enormous slit pupils filled with terror.
Having lived so long, he had naturally heard of this ultimate power exclusive to the Uchiha Clan.
Xin stood within the crystal on Susanoo's forehead, looking down at Manda and Orochimaru from above.
Susanoo raised its enormous arm, Lightning Release chakra gathering furiously in its palm.
A gigantic lightning sword crackling with violent electrical arcs took shape.
"Die."
Xin controlled Susanoo, swinging the gigantic lightning sword down savagely at Manda and Orochimaru with an explosive roar that tore through the air.
"Block it, now!"
Orochimaru's expression changed drastically as his hands frantically formed hand seals.
Manda no longer cared about demanding sacrifices and opened his cavernous maw.
Man and serpent performed ninjutsu together.
"Wind Release: Super Great Breakthrough!"
A violent hurricane gushed from their mouths, forming a thick wall of wind that met the descending lightning sword.
Boom!
The lightning sword struck the wind wall with a deafening crash.
The wind wall shook violently, barely stopping Susanoo's mighty blow.
Without pausing for an instant, Orochimaru and Manda changed tactics again.
"Wind Release: Super Tornado Hurricane!"
An enormous tornado connecting earth and sky rose from the ground, sweeping toward Susanoo with a pulling force that could tear everything apart.
Xin sneered.
He poured more Lightning Release chakra into the lightning sword.
The lightning sword blazed with light, dazzling blue arcs dancing wildly across it.
Susanoo gripped the sword hilt with both hands and swung it fiercely downward.
Shhk!
Like slicing through tofu, the reinforced lightning sword cleaved the enormous Tornado Hurricane straight down the middle.
The hurricane collapsed instantly, turning into wild gusts that scattered through the air.
Xin stopped defending passively and controlled Susanoo to change its weapon's form.
The gigantic lightning sword stretched in an instant, transforming into an enormous bow flashing with lightning.
The five-pointed star pattern in Xin's right eye spun furiously.
"Amaterasu."
Pitch-black flames appeared out of thin air upon the enormous bow, rapidly forming a gigantic black-flame arrow dozens of meters long.
The bowstring was drawn taut, its aim fixed squarely on Manda below.
Sensing the hair-raising, lethal danger, Orochimaru felt every hair on his body stand on end.
"Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon!"
Orochimaru gave it everything he had, pouring out all the chakra remaining in his body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three enormous steel gates carved with hideous demonic faces burst from the ground, shielding Manda and Orochimaru.
"Go."
Xin released the bowstring.
The black-flame arrow shot out instantly like a bolt of black lightning.
Thk! Thk! Thk!
The Triple Rashomon, hailed as an absolute defense, proved utterly fragile before the black-flame arrow.
The arrow tore straight through all three thick iron gates with overwhelming ease.
"No!"
Manda let out a piercing scream.
The black-flame arrow pierced Manda's enormous body without resistance, pinning him firmly to the ground.
Black flames instantly spread from Manda's wound.
Manda thrashed and rolled wildly in agony, smashing countless large trees.
Bang!
Unable to endure the terrifying damage any longer, Manda vanished in an enormous cloud of white mist, fleeing straight back to the summoning realm of Ryūchi Cave, his fate unknown.
Orochimaru stood where he was, his face as pale as paper.
His serpentine pupils narrowed to thin slits as he stared blankly at the invincible Susanoo before him.
His heart was filled with unprecedented shock and fear.
He had never experienced such a one-sided battle.
Uchiha Xin had overwhelmed him from start to finish, leaving him utterly powerless to fight back.
Orochimaru gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the trembling in his heart.
He had made preparations long ago and would never simply wait for death.
At the very instant Susanoo drew near.
Orochimaru suddenly pressed his palms together.
Without warning, two figures burst out of the ground behind Susanoo.
They were none other than the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, brought back through Impure World Reincarnation.
Orochimaru had kept the two hidden underground all this time, and now they suddenly launched a lethal surprise attack.
The First Hokage clapped his hands together.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
The earth split open, and countless immensely thick trees and vines burst from the ground, climbing rapidly up Susanoo's legs like wildly growing pythons.
In the blink of an eye, a vast mass of Wood Release vines tightly bound the hundreds-of-meters-tall Susanoo, severely restricting its movements.
At the same time, the Second Hokage rapidly formed hand seals, launching his attack in tandem.
"Forbidden technique: Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!"
The Second Hokage slapped an Explosive Tag onto Susanoo's armor.
The Explosive Tag instantly summoned more Explosive Tags, one becoming two, two becoming four, in an endless cycle.
Boom, boom, boom!
Deafening chain explosions thundered through the sky.
The fierce blasts instantly engulfed Susanoo's enormous body in fire, warping even the surrounding air.
Facing this devastating chain bombardment, Uchiha Xin's gaze sharpened.
He decisively dispelled Susanoo himself.
The five-pointed star pattern in his right eye turned.
Kamui Intangibility activated.
Xin's body instantly slipped into another dimension, and all the explosive shock waves and flames passed straight through his intangible body without harming him in the slightest.
After leaving the center of the explosions, Xin deactivated his intangibility.
With a flicker, he teleported directly in front of the Second Hokage.
The Second Hokage had no time to react.
Violent blue lightning enveloped Xin's right hand, pitch-black Amaterasu flames clinging to it and radiating an aura of destruction.
"Lightning Release: Black Flame Lariat!"
Xin slammed a powerful elbow strike viciously into the Second Hokage's chest.
Boom!
Lightning and black flames erupted simultaneously.
The Second Hokage's reanimated body was instantly blasted apart, turning into scraps of paper that fluttered through the air.
Immediately afterward, lightning flashed beneath Xin's feet, and he vanished once more.
He flashed in front of the First Hokage and, without the slightest hesitation, used the exact same move.
Bang!
The First Hokage's body was likewise shattered by lightning and black flames, crumbling into dust that littered the ground.
Standing a short distance away, Orochimaru watched the scene and gave a mocking smile.
"Shin-kun, you're still too young."
Orochimaru was just about to mock Xin for not understanding how Impure World Reincarnation worked.
"Those revived through Impure World Reincarnation are undying and indestructible. Physical attacks like these are utterly meaningless..."
