Chapter 723: Eternal Mangekyo: A Despairingly Powerful Presence!
Chapter 723: Eternal Mangekyo: A Despairingly Powerful Presence!
Gao Da... Within the Susanoo!
"It seems like I can't enter the Perfect Stage for the time being?" Yuhi Uchiha muttered with a slight frown.
She was a little dissatisfied with her inability to use the Perfect Stage, feeling that she couldn't compare to Danzo.
But she didn't consider that after Danzo obtained the Eternal Mangekyo, it took him a long time to refine his skills before he could enter the Perfect Stage, and he had the assistance of Indra's chakra.
So, even with the same eyes and with the help of extraordinary organs and various resources, Yuhi Uchiha couldn't achieve the Perfect Stage so quickly.
However, even without the Perfect Stage, the fourth stage of Susanoo surpassed the Shadow Rank and Ultra Shadow level.
Not only were Jiraiya and his allies shocked, but even the surrounding allied forces were stunned by the sudden appearance of the purple giant.
"So huge!"
"What is that?"
"It's a divine being!"
...
The appearance of such a terrifying behemoth on the battlefield was enough to demoralize the troops.
Not to mention, the allied forces were already struggling.
The battle had just begun, and the losses were still manageable; otherwise, they would have collapsed earlier.
Especially under the onslaught of the Phoenix flock, the allied forces were on the verge of disintegration.
The fiery ground sweep was extremely lethal to weaker ninjas, and the terrifying high temperatures turned the battlefield into a hellish inferno.
The only good news was that the high temperatures affected both allies and enemies alike.
Ordinary soldiers in the defensive forces couldn't withstand the heat and had to retreat, leaving only ninjas who could endure the high temperatures with their chakra-enhanced bodies.
Fortunately, the allied forces had the Toad Force, which could use their tongues to threaten the Phoenixes in the air, slightly curbing the offensive. Otherwise, there would have been no chance to fight back.
Facing the heavily fortified bastion with kunai rifles, black oil, and explosive tags, the allied forces found it extremely difficult to launch an attack.
One by one, ninjas fell, their bodies becoming lifeless corpses.
The brutal offensive and defensive battle caused morale to plummet.
Now, seeing the divine purple giant behind them, the already low morale instantly collapsed.
Yuhi Uchiha, the orchestrator of this scene, finally understood how the Ninja World's Asura had dominated the battlefield.
Standing atop the head of Susanoo, overlooking the battlefield, even the strongest enemies seemed like mere ants, as if she had become a divine being herself.
Divine Power! No wonder Susanoo was described this way; it was an incredibly fitting description.
This was indeed a divine power!
No wonder Danzo Uchiha was so arrogant, looking down on everyone except Hashirama Senju.
With such divine power at his command, how could he not be arrogant?
After familiarizing herself with the technique, Yuhi Uchiha retracted her dispersed energy.
They were on the battlefield! She lifted her foot!
The massive Susanoo stomped down heavily.
Boom! A section of the ground was crushed under its might.
However, there were no casualties.
As long as the ninjas didn't stand in one place and take the attack head-on, avoiding it was not difficult.
"Incredible strength!"
Tsunade punched the foot that had just landed.
Boom! The air reverberated with a deep, muffled explosion.
But this punch, powerful enough to shatter mountains, only caused Susanoo to wobble slightly.
Unbelievable defensive power! After entering the fourth stage, Susanoo's power had qualitatively surpassed the previous three stages, so this level of defense was not surprising.
"Now it's my turn!"
Yuhi Uchiha clenched her fists at her sides, and the giant Susanoo responded in kind.
Whoosh!
Sizzle! Flames and lightning appeared in Susanoo's massive hands, transforming into a red and a blue longsword respectively.
Thunder God Sword and Fire God Sword! Yes, these were the unique techniques of her Susanoo.
Just as Shizui's Susanoo had the Yasakani no Magatama, her Susanoo also possessed its own unique abilities.
The two longswords had the same attacking power as Danzo Uchiha's Susanoo's attached sword, capable of slicing through mountains and cutting through oceans.
Now, Yuhi Uchiha ignored the others' attacks, focusing solely on Jiraiya.
Asuma couldn't stand by and let Jiraiya's process of gathering natural energy be interrupted. He stood before him, biting his finger, forming hand seals, and shouting.
"Triple Gate of Reincarnation!"
With a heavy stomp on the ground, a massive demonic gate rose, each layer adorned with a sinister face.
"Slice!"
Yuchiha Yaya let out a soft hum, wielding Susanoo's right-handed flaming longsword with grace.
Whoosh!
The soaring flames made the sword in her hand seem like a volcano rather than a mere sword.
The endless pillar of fire mercilessly melted the triple demonic gate.
Such terror!
With a single sword, melting through three layers of the Gate of Reincarnation, one could only imagine its power.
Her left-handed lightning longsword slashed towards Jiraiya.
Zzzzap!
The crackling sound of electricity filled the air, as if this sword had summoned countless thunderbolts from the heavens.
Confronted by this sword, a helpless expression appeared on Jiraiya's face.
He could, of course, dodge it, but he couldn't continue gathering natural energy.
He still needed over half a minute to enter Sage Mode, and in that time, he would be chopped to pieces.
So, he had no choice but to abandon gathering natural energy and use Instant Body Flicker to create distance.
Boom!!!
The dozens of meters long lightning longsword tore through the earth, creating a gigantic moat.
The subsequent battle turned into a game of 'Whack-a-Mole'.
With the fourth stage of Susanoo, it was impossible to land a hit.
Jiraiya and Tsunade also changed their tactics.
They didn't aim to defeat Yuchiha Yaya; they just needed to stall her.
This was the true essence of a ninja battle.
Engaging in a head-on confrontation against an obviously superior opponent was more suited to stubborn samurai than ninjas.
Of course, if Yuchiha Yaya were to attack the Hidden Leaf Village with a Gundam, the enemy would have no choice but to surrender.
But since this was a defensive battle, they couldn't afford to 'attack the enemy's vital points'.
If they went to slaughter ordinary ninjas, the enemy's Shadow Rank powerhouses could do the same, resulting in mutual harm and a stalemate.
Perhaps Jiraiya and Tsunade were gambling.
They were betting that Yuchiha Yaya's eye power wouldn't last long.
Normally, this tactic made sense.
For those with Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan like Daikokuso, Shizui, and Fuyaku, the moment they activated Susanoo, their eye power would be rapidly depleted, even more terrifying than a stock market crash.
It wouldn't take long for their eyes to be permanently damaged.
This was evident with the example of Obito, who had blinded himself in a short time, showcasing the terrifying consumption of Susanoo.
But when it came to Yuchiha Yaya, it was different.
"I can fight for a good half-day!"
This was how one could describe it.
Despite being the fourth stage of Susanoo, its consumption was less than when she used the first stage with her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!
The word 'eternal' not only implied that her eyes wouldn't go blind from eye power depletion but also hinted at the vastness of her eye power.
So, Yuchiha Yaya wasn't in a hurry and instead played along with them.
As the powerful figures on both sides stalemated, the outcome of the war would be decided by others.
However, the allied forces' morale was almost shattered, and in less than two hours, they had no choice but to retreat.
The good news was... Skyguard Tower didn't pursue them, giving the allies a chance to withdraw.
If they had pursued, they might have crushed the allies.
"The show is over for now, and I hope you can entertain me better next time!"
After the allies retreated, Yuchiha Yaya didn't plan to continue the 'Whack-a-Mole' game.
If the enemy focused solely on evasion, Susanoo might not be suitable, and using Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and Demon Transformation might have secured victory earlier.
But now, she couldn't exert full force, or she might have killed a few, and the one who had been waiting might never show up.
After leaving a menacing statement, Yuchiha Yaya deactivated Susanoo and slowly walked towards the bastion.
Behind her, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others exchanged glances, none of them attempting to take advantage of the situation.
"Retreat first!"
Jiraiya issued the command.
The immediate priority was to fall back and regroup.
However, Yuchiha Yaya's performance this time also solidified Jiraiya's determination to eliminate Skyguard Tower.
With Yuchiha Dohei heavily injured and unable to fight, once he recovered, they would have even less chance.
They had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
