Chapter 639: Susanoo Battles the Wooden Man
Chapter 639: Susanoo Battles the Wooden Man
While Susanoo is a capability unique to the Mangekyo Sharingan, it differs from other abilities in that once mastered, one could potentially utilize it even without the Mangekyo Sharingan, let alone the three tomoe.
Swoosh!!
Uchiha Madara wielded Susanoo, brandishing a blue lightsaber, and in an instant, four blue slashes of light attacked Mu Yue with tremendous speed.
Mu Yue intended to dodge, but he noticed the Konoha ninja forces behind him.
Hiss!!
A dazzling yellow lightning bolt enveloped the blade of Yama, and Mu Yue swiftly slashed out with a lightning-fast strike.
BOOM!!
With a deafening roar, the yellow and blue slashes collided in mid-air, unleashing a destructive force.
At that moment, the ground endured an unprecedented shockwave. Where the slashes met, the ground ripped open at incredible speed, and the powerful residual waves kicked up dust and debris, sending them flying in all directions.
Trees that had survived the previous battle were now snapped under the force of this power, their branches and twigs scattering wildly.
"What kind of jutsu is this?" Obito asked, his face filled with confusion as he stared at the small blue giant.
He had seen jutsu that enlarged the user before, but this was the first time he had encountered one that created an energy-bodied small giant.
Should he tell them, even though they were enemies? This jutsu was undeniably cool.
"If I'm not mistaken, this jutsu is called Susanoo, a power unique to the Uchiha clan," Shisui said, his fist clenched tightly.
He had read extensively about the Uchiha clan and had a certain understanding of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
With Susanoo's appearance, those knowledgeable about it would immediately recognize the user as a member of the Uchiha clan.
Shisui didn't know who the black-robed Uchiha was, but he despised him intensely at that moment.
With this display, regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Uchiha clan would undoubtedly come under scrutiny and suspicion.
"Huh? A power unique to the Uchiha clan? I don't recall ever seeing any Uchiha ninja use this," Obito said, somewhat dazed. He hadn't expected that this cool jutsu belonged exclusively to the Uchiha clan.
Kakashi, standing next to Obito, overheard their conversation and furrowed his brow in thought.
"Could he be a member of the Uchiha clan, a secret successor cultivated by Uchiha Madara before he left the village?" Kakashi wondered.
It wasn't a matter of Kakashi's lacking imagination, but rather the common belief among the ninja of Konoha and even the entire ninja world that Uchiha Madara had long been slain by Senju Hashirama.
Naturally, the notion of a successor seemed more plausible than Madara returning from the dead.
Swoosh!
Mu Yue's figure flashed as he rushed toward the Iwagakure forces.
"Yasaka Beads!"
The lightsabers in Susanoo's arms vanished, and a string of blue beads appeared between its hands.
Whoosh!
Uchiha Madara casually swung Susanoo's arm, and the blue beads transformed into high-speed energy bullets that hurtled toward Mu Yue.
Mu Yue, with the benefit of his Byakugan's 360-degree vision, easily dodged the incoming light bullets without even turning his head. However, the Iwagakure ninja lacked his extraordinary observation skills and speed.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"
An Iwagakure ninja attempted to defend against the attack by using an earth-style jutsu.
BOOM!!
The thick earthen wall was easily shattered by the blue beads, which then continued on unabated, slamming into the unfortunate ninja and causing several Iwagakure ninja to explode into bloody mists.
Kibaku Akatsuki's eyelids twitched violently as he never expected that even spectating could be so dangerous.
With just this one Yasaka Bead attack, Uchiha Madara had wiped out dozens of ninja without even touching Mu Yue's clothes.
"Spread out and retreat!" Kibaku quickly ordered.
He had initially hoped to take advantage of the situation and kill Mu Yue and his subordinates, despite the dishonorableness of the act.
After all, it was a village-issued mission, and he intended to complete it even if it meant stooping to despicable tactics.
However, given the current situation, Kibaku feared that if Mu Yue and Uchiha Madara fought for half an hour, even if they didn't injure each other, the Iwagakure ninja force would suffer nearly half casualties.
Seeing Kibaku wisely retreating with his forces, Mu Yue made no move to stop them.
He had drawn Uchiha Madara's fire to avoid facing too many enemies at once.
Due to Uchiha Madara's overwhelming display of power, Mu Yue's subordinates also refrained from acting rashly, worried that they might end up hindering Mu Yue instead.
Only Uchiha Madara, who had activated the second stage of Susanoo, and Mu Yue remained on the battlefield, locked in combat.
Uchiha Madara controlled Susanoo to swing out with the beads once more.
But just as Mu Yue dodged, Uchiha Madara suddenly leaped out from within Susanoo, launching a high-ground attack on Mu Yue.
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Singing Technique!"
Uchiha Madara's body erupted with a massive amount of chakra, and four fire dragons with sharp teeth burst forth from his mouth, each attacking Mu Yue from a different direction.
As the fire dragons passed, the air seemed to ignite, becoming scorching and distorted.
This move was not only fast, but it could also attack from four directions simultaneously, making it nearly impossible to dodge. One could only endure it or perish.
Unfortunately for Uchiha Madara, his opponent this time was Mu Yue.
While Mu Yue's chakra was indeed inferior to Madara's, he possessed several perfect-level and numerous proficient-level skills, giving him a multitude of strategies to counter such a situation.
Mu Yue silently switched his breathing style to Water Style and instantly concentrated it to the extreme, entering the Water Style Chakra Mode.
"Water Style: Water Surge Wave!"
Mu Yue brought his hands together, and a massive amount of chakra within him instantly transformed into water-attribute chakra.
Whoosh!!
An enormous volume of water appeared out of thin air, rapidly spinning and soaring to form a large water tornado with a diameter of 15 meters, enveloping and protecting Mu Yue within it.
Hiss!
Under the impact of the powerful water flow, the fire dragons vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
But it wasn't over yet; Mu Yue once again stimulated his chakra to change his technique.
"Water Style: Ten Dragon Bite Blast!"
Rumble!!
The originally spinning and soaring giant water tornado suddenly stopped rotating and rising, transforming into massive waves that rushed towards Uchiha Madara.
Facing waves over 60 meters high, Madara remained expressionless.
If he had used the complete body Susanoo, this level of water style jutsu wouldn't even make him move an inch.
Just as the huge wave was about to crash down, the water flow changed shape once more. Numerous thick, long, and ferocious water dragons rapidly formed, attacking Madara from various directions.
Only then did Madara's expression change slightly.
"No wonder the intelligence report mentioned that this water style is the Dragon Flame Singing Technique among water styles." Uchiha Madara revealed a look of acknowledgment.
Written intelligence and witnessing it in person were two different matters; Mu Yue's water style jutsu was indeed impressive.
"However, this level of attack can't break through my defense."
"Susanoo!"
Uchiha Madara gathered a vast amount of chakra, and a dense blue light suddenly exploded around his body, like the dawn breaking through the darkness, yet carrying an endless chill.
This time, it was not just the second stage with only half of his body transformed.
As the dazzling blue light dissipated, a towering giant formed purely from chakra appeared on the ground where Uchiha Madara had been standing.
Whoosh!!
The Susanoo wielded four blue lightsabers, instantly slicing apart four of the water dragons. The remaining water dragons crashed into the Susanoo.
It stood at a height of over 20 meters, its entire body composed of materialized blue chakra, making the thick water dragons appear slender in comparison.
Boom!!
The power of the water dragons was stronger than what Uchiha Madara had anticipated. Even the third stage Susanoo was knocked left and right under the impact, and its body showed slight damage, though it failed to injure Madara, who was in the head of the Susanoo.
"Wood Style: Wood Clone!"
Uchiha Madara thought for a moment and decided not to use his proficient fire style. Instead, he used the Wood Style he had gained from transplanting Hashirama Senju's cells.
Mu Yue's water style was even more powerful than that of Hashirama, so using fire style would be ineffective.
Although Madara had a large amount of chakra, he didn't want to waste it unnecessarily.
Four wood clones separated from Uchiha Madara's body.
"Susanoo!"
The wood clones, after moving a certain distance from the main body, burst with chakra and also used Susanoo, causing towering chakra giants to appear on the battlefield.
"Hanyu Mu Yue, how will you deal with this move?" Uchiha Madara laughed as he looked at Mu Yue.
If Mu Yue struggled against a single third-stage Susanoo, what would happen when five third-stage Susanoo attacked together? Could he withstand it?
Boom!
The four Susanoo rushed towards Mu Yue simultaneously, their massive bodies stomping on the ground and causing a series of rumbling noises.
"This is too cheating!" Obito stared at the five blue giants standing on the battlefield, completely dumbfounded.
His shadow clones couldn't even use Blue Flame, yet this black-robed Uchiha could use Susanoo with his shadow clones.
Were they even the same type of jutsu?
"So powerful... We're not even on the same level as them." Shisui's pupils shook, realizing the immense gap between their strengths.
The use of Susanoo by shadow clones was something not even recorded in the Uchiha clan's archives.
The five of them combined might not even be able to defeat a single shadow clone of the black-robed Uchiha.
All the Konoha ninjas were stunned, some even pinching themselves to check if they were dreaming.
Who would've imagined that even the enemy's shadow clones could summon chakra giants taller than twenty meters? It felt like a nightmare.
But reality was indeed reality. Whether it was the sensation of pain on their cheeks or the thunderous stomps of the Susanoo, they all proclaimed—this is reality.
"The worst-case scenario," Kakashi muttered, his hand holding White Fang damp with sweat.
Due to Mu Yue's display of strength, Kakashi made two speculations. One, their assumption was wrong, and Mu Yue wasn't in a life-or-death crisis. Or two, Mu Yue's opponent was stronger than common sense.
Evidently, the truth was the latter. Mu Yue was strong, but his opponent was even stronger!
After some thought, Kakashi made a bold decision. He activated his Lightning Breath and sprinted away from the battlefield as if trying to flee.
Swish!
Four dazzling blue slashes of light sped towards Kakashi's escape path, forcing him back.
Kakashi's expression turned grim. Although they hadn't engaged in the battle, their presence on the battlefield had become a burden to Mu Yue.
If Mu Yue dared to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, perhaps only he would be able to escape alive, maybe even with a few of his disciples.
"Is this why Teacher Mu Yue, with his Flying Thunder God Technique, still died on the battlefield...?" Kakashi felt that he had understood everything.
At this moment, Kakashi was in a dilemma.
Should he tell Mu Yue, "You'll die if you continue fighting, so leave these Konoha ninjas behind and run for it"?
Kakashi felt that even if he said that, Mu Yue probably wouldn't listen.
But he also couldn't just stand by and watch Mu Yue march towards his death.
"Then, it's time for the Beast of Konoha to make an entrance."
Might Guy prepared to open the Eight Inner Gates at all costs to help Mu Yue.
Even if he couldn't defeat the black-robed Uchiha's main body, taking down one of his shadow clones would reduce some pressure on Mu Yue.
Amidst the towering blue chakra giants, each standing over twenty meters tall, Mu Yue, at a mere height of one meter and eighty centimeters, looked especially diminutive.
"Wood Style: Wood Person Technique!"
Facing the onslaught of four giants, Mu Yue silently used the most powerful wood-style technique he could muster.
As Mu Yue unleashed his chakra, the ground began to shake violently. Countless vines and branches surged from all directions, intertwining and tangling in the air to form an enormous wooden Arhat.
The colossal wooden figure stood on the battlefield like a mountain, its stature so immense that the third-stage Susanoo beside it looked like a frail child.
With the wooden figure's appearance, an oppressive aura even stronger than the third-stage Susanoo enveloped the entire battlefield, as if freezing the air and making breathing exceptionally difficult.
The Konoha ninjas stared at the towering wooden giant, first in disbelief and then in elated joy.
Compared to Mu Yue's current wood-style technique, the black-robed Uchiha's Susanoo seemed insignificant.
And indeed it was.
Boom!
The giant wooden figure simply threw a punch, and the over-twenty-meter-tall blue chakra giant instantly shattered into light dots that dissipated in the air.
Then, a Susanoo sneaked behind the wooden figure and swung its sword, unaware that all its actions were exposed to Mu Yue's perception.
Crack!
The wooden figure caught the blue lightsaber with one hand and crushed it with a forceful squeeze.
Boom!
Another punch, and the formidable power blasted another Susanoo to pieces.
Boom, boom!!
Under the sheer force of brute strength, Mu Yue, controlling the wooden figure, effortlessly smashed the four Susanoo, leaving only Uchiha Madara's main body on the battlefield, turning the tide of the battle.
"Is this still the same Hanyu Mu Yue?" Kibaku, who hadn't gone far, stared at the conspicuous giant wooden figure, frozen in his tracks.
At that moment, he was grateful for the black-robed Uchiha's intervention. Otherwise, he and his subordinates would've likely met their end.
"Teacher Mu Yue is indeed invincible!" Obito watched as Mu Yue punched a Susanoo to pieces, a sense of relief washing over him.
However, Obito, with his sharp eyesight, suddenly noticed something strange. Uchiha Madara, who was now at a disadvantage, was laughing hysterically.
