The clash between Tengen and Uchiha Madara reached a fever pitch.
The surrounding area was reduced to rubble by the onslaught of multiple Susano'o. No Kiri-nin remained in sight.
While a few might have survived the initial clash of two Susano'o, the escalation to eight rendered survival impossible. Even those who fled far were obliterated by the shockwaves.
This power surpassed Kage-level strength.
"Terrifying, absolutely terrifying." Ao muttered, his pupils contracting as he watched from afar.
The dozens of towering Susano'o made the Kiri-nin feel like children in a land of giants, powerless against such might. Genin, chunin, and even jonin were reduced to helpless infants before this force.
"Konoha's genius is even more formidable. His black Susano'o outnumbers those blue ones, which are starting to falter." A Mist jonin observed.
"Mizukage-sama, isn't it dangerous to stay here? Even at this distance, those monsters are fighting." Another Kiri-nin said. "If Tengen wins and turns on us, we're in grave danger."
"Tengen." Yagura said, taking a deep breath. "Stay calm. Have the ninja prepare. Even if Tengen defeats his opponent, his chakra will be heavily depleted. With our numbers, why should we fear him?"
"We knew Tengen's strength when we invaded the Land of Fire." Yagura added.
"Yes, Mizukage-sama." The Kiri-nin replied.
In truth, they were deeply uneasy. They had heard of Tengen's prowess before the invasion, but rumors allowed for a sliver of hope. Now, witnessing the terror of Susano'o, two enhanced by Rinnegan power, they doubted their ability to defeat him, even with their full might.
The monstrous Tengen of Konoha.
Most Kiri-nin now carried an indelible fear of Tengen's limitless power. Some might cower at his mere presence in future encounters.
Such was the deterrence of his strength.
"Tengen, and…" Yagura took another deep breath. He knew the blue Susano'o's wielder, which only deepened his understanding of Tengen's terrifying might.
"Once I fully master the Three-Tails." Yagura vowed, his eyes resolute.
At Konoha's encampment:
"Tengen's gaining the upper hand." Uzumaki Kushina said, her earlier worries fading. She hadn't expected Tengen's Susano'o to multiply, outnumbering his foe's.
The tide had turned, with the enemy now at a disadvantage.
"Tengen's truly remarkable." Minato said, nodding as he watched the distant battle.
No one knew Tengen's full arsenal. His power seemed bottomless, even with Susano'o and Wood Release. Minato sensed this wasn't Tengen's limit.
…
The battlefield of Tengen and Madara became a wasteland.
Madara's two blue Susano'o were shattered, barely holding together.
"I can't hold out much longer." Madara thought, feeling his body's limits. The damage to his shadow Susano'o transferred to his clone, pushing it toward collapse.
"Then." Madara said, forming hand signs, his Susano'o mirroring him.
Immense chakra flooded the area.
The Limbo Susano'o merged back into Madara's body.
The battlefield returned to its original state: two Susano'o facing off.
"Tengen, this is my final attack." Madara declared.
Hundreds of meters above, a massive meteor appeared, blotting out the sky. It hurtled toward the ground with devastating force.
Tengai Shinsei.
A Rinnegan technique capable of leveling kilometers of land.
"Madara, your body can't withstand this, can it?" Tengen said, noting the regression of Madara's complete Susano'o due to dwindling chakra and the clone's breaking point.
"If I wanted to escape, my Susano'o could manage it." Tengen said calmly. "But to honor you, I'll show you my power."
In Tengen's black Susano'o, a black bow materialized. Tengen drew the string, forming a black arrow.
"Armament Haki."
"Yasaka Magatama."
"Ki."
Various powers fused perfectly, igniting black flames on the arrow, radiating a chilling brilliance.
The air trembled around the arrow, as if bearing witness to this immense force.
"Go!" The black arrow sliced through the void, streaking toward the colossal meteor.
