Chapter 639: Susanoo vs. the Wooden Man (asking for monthly votes)

Although Susanoo is a Mangekyo Sharingan ability, unlike other abilities, once Susanoo is mastered, not to mention a Three Tomoe Sharingan, it can even be used without a Sharingan.

Swish!!

Uchiha Madara controlled Susanoo to swing a blue energy sword, and instantly four blue slashes attacked Muzuki at an extremely fast speed.

Muzuki wanted to dodge, but he noticed the Konoha Ninja Force behind him.

Sizzle!!

Dazzling yellow lightning covered Enma’s blade, and Muzuki unleashed a lightning slash at an incredibly high speed.

Rumble!!

With a huge roar, the yellow and blue slashes violently collided in the air, erupting with a destructive force.

The ground at this moment endured an unprecedented impact; at the point of the slashes’ clash, the ground rapidly cracked, and dust and debris were lifted by the powerful aftermath and shot outwards.

The trees that had survived the previous engagement were broken by this impact, with branches and wood chips flying everywhere.

“What kind of Ninjutsu is this?” Obito looked at the small blue giant with a puzzled expression.

He had seen Ninjutsu that made things bigger, but this was the first time he had seen Ninjutsu that created an energy body small giant.

He had to admit, even though it was an enemy’s technique, this Ninjutsu was indeed cool.

“If I remember correctly, this Ninjutsu is called Susanoo, and it’s a power only the Uchiha Clan possesses,” Shisui said, clenching his fists.

He had read many Uchiha Clan texts and had some understanding of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

The appearance of Susanoo confirmed the Uchiha identity in the eyes of those who understood.

Shisui didn’t know who the black-robed Uchiha was, but now Shisui hated him, intensely.

With this move by the black-robed Uchiha, regardless of the final battle outcome, the Uchiha would definitely be investigated and subjected to suspicion.

“Huh? A power only the Uchiha Clan possesses? Why haven’t I seen any Uchiha Ninja use it?” Obito was a bit bewildered, not expecting this cool Ninjutsu to be exclusive to the Uchiha Clan.

Kakashi, standing beside Obito, showed a thoughtful expression upon hearing their conversation.

“Such strength, and he’s a member of the Uchiha Clan… Could he be the successor Uchiha Madara secretly trained when he left Konoha?” Kakashi wondered.

It wasn’t that Kakashi’s imagination wasn’t rich enough, but in the perception of Ninja in Konoha and even the entire Ninja World, Uchiha Madara had long been personally killed by Senju Hashirama.

Compared to Uchiha Madara rising from the dead, a successor was naturally more likely.

Whoosh!

Muzuki’s figure flickered, heading towards the Iwagakure Ninja Force’s direction.

“Yasakani no Magatama!”

Susanoo’s two arm energy swords disappeared, followed by a string of blue magatama appearing between Susanoo’s hands.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

Uchiha Madara, controlling Susanoo, casually flicked his wrist, and the blue magatama transformed into high-speed energy projectiles that shot towards Muzuki.

With his Byakugan’s 360-degree vision, Muzuki easily dodged the incoming energy projectiles without even looking back, but the Iwagakure Ninja didn’t have Muzuki’s observation skills or speed.

“Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!”

Some Iwagakure Ninja cast Earth Release, attempting to block the attack.

Rumble!!

The thick earth wall was directly shattered by the blue magatama, which then, with undiminished momentum, struck the unfortunate Iwagakure Ninja, causing some of them to burst into blood mist.

Kitsuchi’s eyelids twitched violently a few times; he hadn’t expected observing the battle to be so dangerous.

Although Uchiha Madara’s Yasakani no Magatama didn’t even touch Muzuki’s clothes, it wiped out dozens of Ninja in one go.

“Increase distance, retreat!” Kitsuchi quickly commanded.

He had originally intended to see if he could take advantage of the situation and kill Muzuki and his subordinates.

After all, it was a mission issued by the Village, and even if the behavior was a bit shameful, it still had to be completed.

But with the current situation, Kitsuchi was afraid that if Muzuki and Uchiha Madara fought for half an hour, they themselves wouldn’t be harmed, but the Iwagakure Ninja Force would suffer nearly half casualties.

Seeing Kitsuchi wisely retreat with his force, Muzuki did not stop him.

He attracted Uchiha Madara’s firepower precisely because he didn’t want to face too many enemies.

Due to Uchiha Madara’s extraordinary display of strength, Muzuki’s subordinates also did not act rashly, worried they might hinder Muzuki.

On the battlefield, only Uchiha Madara, who had activated his second stage Susanoo, and Muzuki remained, engaged in combat.

Uchiha Madara again controlled Susanoo to throw magatama.

But just as Muzuki was dodging, Uchiha Madara suddenly leaped out of Susanoo, launching an attack on Muzuki from above.

“Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song!”

A large amount of Chakra erupted from Uchiha Madara’s body, and four fire dragons with sharp teeth spewed from his mouth, attacking Muzuki from four directions simultaneously.

Wherever the fire dragons passed, the air seemed to ignite, becoming hot and distorted.

This move of his was fast and could attack from four directions at once, so it was almost never dodged; if you could withstand it, you lived; if not, you died.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Madara encountered Muzuki this time.

Muzuki’s Chakra indeed couldn’t compare to Uchiha Madara’s, but he had several perfect-level skills and many proficient-level skills, so he had too many counter-strategies for this situation.

Muzuki silently switched his Breathing Technique to Water Breathing, then instantly focused Water Breathing to its extreme, entering Water Breathing Chakra Mode.

“Water Release: Water Shockwave!”

Muzuki clasped his hands together, and a large amount of Chakra within his body instantly transformed into Water Release Chakra.

Whoosh whoosh!!

A massive volume of water appeared out of thin air around Muzuki, then rapidly spun and ascended, instantly forming a large water vortex with a diameter of fifteen meters, protecting Muzuki within it.

Hiss hiss!

Under the impact of the massive water flow, the fire dragons instantly vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

But this was not the end; Muzuki once again activated his Chakra, changing his technique.

“Water Release: Ten Thousand Water Dragons!”

Rumble!!

The enormous water vortex that had been continuously spinning and ascending suddenly stopped rotating and ascending, transforming into a tidal wave that crashed towards Uchiha Madara.

Facing a wave over sixty meters tall, Uchiha Madara remained expressionless.

If he used his Complete Body Susanoo, a Water Release of this level wouldn’t even make him budge.

As the massive wave was about to crash down, the water flow changed shape again, and thick, hideous giant water dragons rapidly formed, shooting towards Uchiha Madara from all directions.

Uchiha Madara’s expression finally showed a hint of change.

“No wonder the intelligence reports said this Water Release was the Dragon Flame Release Song of Water Release,” Uchiha Madara revealed a look of approval.

Paper intelligence and witnessing it firsthand were two different things; Muzuki’s Water Release was indeed impressive.

“However, an attack of this level can’t break my defense.”

“Susanoo!”

Uchiha Madara condensed a massive amount of Chakra, and a rich blue light suddenly erupted around Madara’s body, like the first light of dawn, yet carrying endless chill.

This time, it was no longer the second stage with only half a body.

The blinding blue light dispersed, and a tall giant formed purely from Chakra appeared on the ground where Uchiha Madara had just stood.

Whoosh whoosh!!

Susanoo swung its four blue energy swords, instantly shattering four water dragons, while the remaining water dragons crashed into Susanoo’s body.

It stood over twenty meters tall, composed of materialized blue Chakra, and even the thick water dragons appeared slender in front of it.

Boom boom!!

The power of the water dragons was stronger than Uchiha Madara had imagined; even the third stage Susanoo was swayed left and right by the impact of the water dragons, and its body showed slight damage, though it failed to injure Uchiha Madara, who was located in Susanoo’s head.

“Wood Release: Wood Clone!”

Uchiha Madara thought for a moment and, instead of using his preferred Fire Release, used the Wood Release he had gained from transplanting Hashirama cells.

Muzuki’s Water Release surpassed even Senju Tobirama’s, so using Fire Release would be difficult to have an effect.

Although Uchiha Madara had a lot of Chakra, he didn’t want to waste it meaninglessly.

Four Wood Clones separated from Uchiha Madara’s body.

“Susanoo!”

After the Wood Clones were a certain distance from the main body, they directly unleashed Chakra and also used Susanoo, and giants of Chakra over twenty meters tall appeared on the battlefield.

“Hayate Mugetsu, how will you deal with this move?” Uchiha Madara laughed, looking at Muzuki.

Muzuki was already struggling to deal with one third-stage Susanoo, so could Muzuki withstand five third-stage Susanoo attacking together?

Boom boom!

Four Susanoo simultaneously charged towards Muzuki, their massive bodies causing tremors with each step.

“This is too much of a cheat!” Obito was completely dumbfounded, looking at the five blue giants standing on the battlefield.

His Shadow Clone couldn’t even use Azure Flame, yet this black-robed Uchiha’s Shadow Clone could even use Susanoo.

Were they even the same type of Ninjutsu?

“So strong… We’re not even on the same dimension as them,” Shisui’s pupils dilated, realizing the insurmountable gap between them.

The Uchiha Clan’s texts didn’t even record anything about Shadow Clones using Susanoo.

Even if the five of them worked together, they probably couldn’t defeat even one of the black-robed Uchiha’s Shadow Clones.

All the Konoha Ninja were shocked, and some even pinched themselves, thinking they were dreaming.

How could an enemy’s Shadow Clone summon Chakra giants over twenty meters tall? Why would they have such a nightmare?

But reality was reality; whether it was the pain on their cheeks or the roaring sound of Susanoo stomping the ground, everything was declaring to them—this was reality.

“The worst-case scenario,” Kakashi’s hand, gripping White Fang, continuously secreted sweat.

Due to Muzuki’s immense strength, Kakashi had made two predictions: one was that their initial thought was wrong and Muzuki was not in mortal danger, and the other was that Muzuki’s opponent was even stronger than imaginable.

Clearly, the true fact was the latter: Muzuki was indeed strong, but his opponent was even stronger!

After a moment of thought, Kakashi made a bold decision: he channeled his Thunder Breathing and ran wildly backward, as if to escape the battlefield.

Whoosh!

Four dazzling blue slashes swiftly cut across Kakashi’s escape path, forcing him back.

Kakashi’s expression was very grim; although they hadn’t participated in the battle, being on the battlefield had already made them a burden to Muzuki.

If Muzuki dared to use Flying Thunder God to leave, then perhaps only Muzuki would be able to leave alive, maybe taking a few disciples with him.

“Is this why Teacher Muzuki, even with Flying Thunder God Technique, might still die on the battlefield…?” Kakashi felt he had understood everything.

Kakashi was in agony at this moment.

Should he tell Teacher Muzuki, ‘If you keep fighting, you’ll die; abandon these Konoha Ninja and run away with all your might’?

Kakashi felt that even if he did say it, Muzuki would never do such a thing.

But he also couldn’t just stand by and watch Muzuki head towards a fatal end.

“Then, it’s time for me, the Green Beast of Konoha, to make an appearance.”

Might Guy prepared to open the Eight Gates at all costs to help Muzuki.

Even if he couldn’t defeat the black-robed Uchiha’s main body, defeating a Shadow Clone could alleviate some pressure on Muzuki.

Surrounded by blue Chakra giants over twenty meters tall, the 1.8-meter-tall Muzuki appeared exceptionally tiny in comparison.

“Wood Human Technique!”

Facing the four incoming giants, Muzuki silently used the strongest Wood Release he could unleash.

The moment Muzuki’s Chakra erupted, the ground began to tremble violently; countless vines and branches surged from all directions, intertwining and coiling in the air, finally forming an incredibly massive wooden arhat.

The towering Wood Human stood on the battlefield like a mountain; its sheer size made the third stage Susanoo standing beside it look like a scrawny child.

With the appearance of the Wood Human, an oppressive feeling even stronger than the third stage Susanoo instantly enveloped the entire battlefield; the air seemed to solidify, and even breathing became exceptionally difficult.

The Konoha Ninja looked at the incredibly tall wooden giant, first in disbelief, then with immense joy.

Compared to the Wood Release Muzuki was currently using, the black-robed Uchiha’s Susanoo seemed to be nothing special.

And that was indeed the case.

Bang!

The giant Wood Human merely threw a punch, and the blue Chakra giant, over twenty meters tall, instantly shattered, turning into specks of light that dispersed into the air.

Immediately after, a Susanoo circled behind the Wood Human and swung its sword, unaware that all its actions had long been exposed to Muzuki’s senses.

Crack!

The Wood Human caught the blue energy sword with one hand and crushed it with a squeeze.

Bang!

With another punch, an incredibly powerful force once again shattered a Susanoo.

Bang bang!!

Under the pure power of suppression, Muzuki controlled the Wood Human to easily smash the four Susanoo, leaving only Uchiha Madara’s main body and one Susanoo on the field, reversing the situation.

“Is that still Raging Sun Mu Yue?” Kitsuchi, who hadn’t gone too far, stared at the extremely conspicuous giant Wood Human, completely stunned.

At this moment, he was grateful that the black-robed Uchiha had intervened, otherwise he and his subordinates would probably all have perished there.

“Sage Muzuki is indeed invincible!” Obito breathed a sigh of relief, watching Muzuki punch and destroy a Susanoo.

However, Obito, with his good eyesight, suddenly noticed something strange: Uchiha Madara, who was at a disadvantage, was actually smiling, even laughing wildly.
