"This can't go on any longer!"
Uchiha Shisui's expression was grim. If this continued, he would die.
No longer conserving his chakra or ocular power, he directly activated Susanoo.
A green, second-form Susanoo appeared, surrounding him completely as it raised its spiral sword.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The spiral sword spun rapidly as Susanoo rotated in a full 360 degrees.
A barrage of green arrows shot out like a storm from the spiral sword, raining down on the surrounding ice mirrors.
Crash, crash, crash!
With each turn of the spiral sword, all the ice mirrors shattered.
The Ice Style: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals was destroyed—Uchiha Fugaku's figure was finally forced into the open.
Boom—
Controlled by Shisui, the green Susanoo thrust its massive spiral sword directly at Fugaku.
The air ripped apart with a deafening roar.
With just his mortal body, if Fugaku were struck, he would be reduced to mist in an instant.
"Susanoo—!"
A black Susanoo materialized around Uchiha Fugaku.
Also in its second form, but its weapons were completely different from Shisui's Susanoo.
In its left hand was a flat, mirror-like shield, and in its right, a massive black spear.
Rumble—
Under Fugaku's control, the black Susanoo raised its shield, blocking the oncoming spiral sword.
At the point of impact, air exploded outward violently.
The shockwaves were so intense they could leave cuts on human skin just from proximity.
The ground beneath them cracked and fractured densely at the center of the clash.
Both Susanoo forms were forced back over ten meters by the immense force.
Whoosh—
Fugaku's black Susanoo hurled its massive spear like a giant arrow launched from an enormous bow, aimed straight at Shisui.
Boom—
Shisui's green Susanoo met it head-on, piercing with the spiral sword. The two weapons clashed at the tip.
The massive spear's powerful momentum was stopped—
But that spear didn't just pierce. It also exploded.
BOOM—
The explosion sent a shockwave in all directions, destroying everything around it.
The green Susanoo staggered back over ten meters, fine cracks now visible on its armor.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Shisui retaliated, commanding his Susanoo to raise the spiral sword again, firing another volley of green arrows.
Bang, bang, bang!
Fugaku's black Susanoo lifted its shield to block—but the shield couldn't cover the entire body.
Many of the green arrows pierced its form, riddling it with holes.
However, Shisui's Susanoo also suffered.
The black Susanoo's shield could reflect attacks—many arrows bounced back, punching holes into Shisui's own Susanoo as well.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The two massive Susanoo forms clashed fiercely—like two upper-bodied giants locked in brutal combat.
Each strike carried terrifying destructive power. Trees, rocks—everything nearby was either shattered or sent flying hundreds of meters.
A hundred-meter radius had been flattened into a wide, barren battlefield.
"Such terrifying power!"
Uchiha Mei and Uchiha Hiro, forced further back by the shockwaves, were shaken.
Whether green or black, both Susanoo had exhibited power far beyond what they could imagine.
Though both of them were skilled, not even one strike from these Susanoo could be blocked by them.
"This… is the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
They had always known that Mangekyō Sharingan users were strong—stronger than most Kage.
But this was the first time they truly saw what that strength looked like.
"Haaah—!"
With a low shout, Shisui poured even more chakra and ocular power into his Susanoo. Blood trickled from his left eye.
Thick green armor appeared around his Susanoo—this was the third form.
This stage greatly enhanced both defense and offense.
Slash—
The spiral sword thrust forward, piercing through the black Susanoo's shield and stabbing directly into its body.
The black Susanoo was sent flying dozens of meters, a huge hole now torn in its torso.
"Tch—"
Fugaku grunted coldly, increasing his own chakra and ocular power as well.
Instantly, his black Susanoo regenerated—and thick black armor formed over it too.
Boom—
Wielding the giant spear like a charging knight, the black Susanoo slammed into the green one, pushing it back over a hundred meters.
But the green armor held strong—the spear failed to pierce it.
At the same time, Shisui's Susanoo countered with a thrust from its spiral sword.
Yet that, too, was stopped by the black armor.
"Not strong enough!"
Inside the black Susanoo, Fugaku frowned.
Both had reached third-form Susanoo—the limit of ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan users. Only the Eternal Mangekyō could go further.
The third form specialized in absolute defense—even more so than the fourth form in some cases.
In this form, neither could breach the other's defenses.
Now, it had turned into a battle of endurance—a war of chakra and ocular power.
Fugaku was confident. His chakra and ocular reserves were greater than Shisui's. The first to fall would surely be Shisui.
But defeating Shisui wasn't enough—he had to kill him.
If his chakra and ocular power ran too low, Shisui might still escape in the end.
Swish!
Fugaku took the initiative to retreat and deactivated his Susanoo.
Among all his Kekkei Genkai, the Mangekyō Sharingan ranked near the top in terms of power—but it was not his strongest.
His most powerful ability at this stage was the Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse)—with a bloodline level equivalent to Super-Kage.
Although he hadn't yet developed Super-Kage-level jutsu with it, the raw power of the bloodline alone surpassed the current capabilities of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
