"Have you had enough talking?"
Sasuke stood up, glaring at the Five Kage with hatred burning in his eyes. "It's you so-called high-ranking officials who are the reason the ninja world is filled with so much conflict!"
His Mangekyō Sharingan flared to life, spinning ominously as he roared, "Today, I will kill the Hokage right here! And anyone who stands in my way—will die!"
With that, Susanoo erupted around him—a half-formed, skeletal giant materializing with a chilling presence. Blood dripped from his left eye as his rage fed into his chakra, and the Susanoo expanded further, developing into its half-humanoid form.
A bow and shield materialized in its hands—destruction incarnate.
C, the sensory ninja of the Cloud, looked at the colossal warrior in shock. "His chakra is even more formidable than before!"
Darui scowled. "What kind of monsters are the Uchiha?"
The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists in frustration. If Tsunade hadn't held him back, he wouldn't have given this kid a chance to display his power.
Karin hid behind a tree, shivering. Sasuke's chakra felt different—darker, more twisted than before.
Jiraiya moved beside Tsunade, his brows furrowing. "Tsunade, in this state, be cautious of his arrows. They're incredibly fast and hard to evade."
"I know," she replied grimly.
Sasuke sneered. This was the fear he wanted to see.
Meanwhile, Obito, who was phasing through space nearby, smirked as he watched. "Good… The more his hatred grows, the stronger he becomes. His body is responding well. I think I'll observe for a bit longer."
Without hesitation, Sasuke drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and released it—aimed directly at Tsunade!
The sheer speed of the attack caught even seasoned warriors off guard.
"Tsunade, move!" Jiraiya shouted, already in Sage Mode.
"Senpō: Ōdama Rasengan!" (Sage Art: Giant Rasengan)
His instincts in Sage Mode sharpened his reaction time, allowing him to launch his Rasengan into the oncoming arrow. The collision redirected the deadly projectile just enough to miss Tsunade by a hair's breadth.
Their years of fighting together had forged an unshakable battle rhythm.
Tsunade seized the opening and charged straight at Sasuke's Susanoo.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes—there was no time to prepare another arrow. He quickly raised Susanoo's shield, bracing for impact.
With a thunderous crack, Tsunade's fist slammed into Susanoo's defense, causing deep fissures to form in its armor.
"Impossible!" Sasuke's mind raced. "This half-body Susanoo… it couldn't withstand that punch?! How is this woman stronger than the Raikage?!"
He regretted not activating Amaterasu's Flame Defense sooner.
But Tsunade wasn't done.
Even as blood dripped from her hand due to the immense impact, she barely flinched. Her healing ability kicked in instantly. Without hesitation, she switched hands and launched another devastating punch!
The force sent Sasuke and his Susanoo flying.
Jiraiya took advantage of the moment, forming hand seals rapidly.
"Senpō: Kebari Senbon!" (Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon)
His white mane extended and hardened into countless needle-like projectiles that shot towards Sasuke at blinding speed.
Still airborne, Sasuke's body was peppered with sharp needles. Some pierced through the cracks in Susanoo's armor, stabbing into his flesh.
"Damn it!" he cursed. "As expected of one of the Legendary Sannin..."
Just as he was about to land, Tsunade was already on him again. She leaped into the air, her right leg raised high, ready to crush him with a devastating axe kick.
Sasuke clenched his teeth, his right eye bleeding profusely.
"Enton: Kagutsuchi!" (Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi)
Black flames erupted around his body, forming a protective barrier.
The Raikage, watching from the sidelines, grimaced. "Tch. You're making the same mistake I did, Tsunade. If you keep going, you'll get burned."
Just before impact, a long tendril of white hair wrapped around Tsunade, pulling her back. Jiraiya had intervened at the last second, swinging her safely away from the deadly flames.
Jiraiya then stepped forward.
"Katon: Gamayu Endan!" (Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet)
A flood of toad oil mixed with fire rushed forward, engulfing Sasuke's Susanoo in an inferno. The sticky flames clung to the spectral warrior, burning it fiercely.
Darui wiped his forehead. "The combination of these two… their teamwork is terrifying."
C nodded in agreement. "They fought together during the Third Great Ninja War. Their synergy is second nature."
The flames consumed the oxygen around Sasuke, making it hard for him to breathe. His vision blurred as his left eye's Mangekyō power waned.
"Aaargh!" Sasuke screamed in agony, clutching his left eye as his Susanoo flickered and weakened, reverting to its skeletal state.
Jiraiya swiftly wove more hand signs.
"Kuchiyose: Yatai Kuzushi no Jutsu!" (Summoning: Crushing Toad Stomp)
A massive toad—Gamaken—appeared mid-air above Sasuke, descending with crushing force.
Sasuke could barely react.
The colossal amphibian landed, slamming down hard. The impact sent a shockwave through the battlefield, and Sasuke's weakened Susanoo crumbled under the immense pressure.
Blood gushed from his mouth as his body crashed into the ground. Half of his ribs shattered instantly, leaving only a frail skeletal frame as a final defense.
Jiraiya dispelled the summon, stepping back as Sasuke lay on the ground, gasping for air.
Naruto stood nearby, watching silently.
He understood. If his master and Tsunade had fought with the intent to kill, Sasuke would be dead already.
Throughout the battle
He needed to step in.
