Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1199 Despair and the Call

As he had said before, now that Ryuchi-dong knew he possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, he no longer needed to hold back in dealing with them.

Whether it's his own illusionary abilities, his two types of eye techniques, or his current 'Susanoo', he can use them at will when needed.

Now is the time for him to use this technique.

bang ~ bang ~ bang ~
Three dull thuds rang out in succession.

Then, the tails of Princess Ichikishima and the others struck the silver-white skull, but failed to cause any damage to the one inside.

However, their attacks were not entirely ineffective.

A series of "click-clack" sounds rang out.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the skull where it had been struck by the giant snake's tail.

Sensing this change, Princess Ichikishima and the others seemed encouraged, increasing their attack power once again, continuing to whip the skeletons around Qingming, attempting to shatter them completely.

Qingming sensed their intentions but did nothing, simply standing there and letting them attack.

When the time was almost up, and his skull was covered in cracks, he suddenly mobilized his chakra and activated the second stage of 'Susanoo'.

In the blink of an eye, the dense cracks on the skull protecting him disappeared.

Instead, a large amount of chakra meridians and flesh grew from the inside out.

Finally, a layer of extremely dense chakra, like skin, enveloped the half-skull, making it even more realistic.

This is the second stage, 'Susanoo'.

At this stage, he can already use the universal attack method of 'Susanoo' - Yasaka Magatama.

Given the number of magatama he can currently launch, and the power of his attacks, if he launches them all at once, severely injuring one or two of the giant snakes should not be a problem.

But that's not enough!
With a thought, Qingming once again mobilized the chakra within his body.

The next moment, he released even more chakra.

Then, the Tengu armor appeared on his Susanoo.

This makes it look like an ancient general, greatly enhancing its defensive capabilities.

At this moment, the attacks from Princess Ichikishima and the others landed on it, but could no longer cause any damage.

Princess Ichikishima and the others wisely stopped their attack.

Why didn't Qingming repair and protect the skeletons around him immediately after being attacked?

I just want the other person to know what it means to not know despair until you try.

Sure enough, when the group saw the changes in the skeleton, although they hadn't completely fallen into despair, they were close.

Although they have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, they have come into direct or indirect contact with many Mangekyou Sharingan users.

However, the only thing that made them feel powerless, besides Madara Uchiha from decades ago, was the person right in front of them.

Whether it's the extremely shameless 'Heavenly Guardian' eye technique, the almost inexhaustible chakra, or the strength of the eye power currently displayed, all of these make them feel deeply powerless and have a rather unreal feeling.

However, Qingming did not stop.

As is well known, Susanoo has four stages:

Phase 1: The form is skeletal, and the chakra completely covers the user's body, providing considerable defense. However, overly powerful attacks can still break through the defense.

At this time, Susanoo can wield some simple weapons, such as ordinary swords, to attack, and the attack methods are mostly ordinary physical attacks.

The second stage involves creating meridians and flesh on the skeleton, while simultaneously covering the body with a chakra cloak.

At this point, Susanoo reaches its optimal balance and can utilize Susanoo's universal ranged attack method—the Yasaka Magatama.

The third stage involves adding the Tengu Armor to the second stage, significantly enhancing Susanoo's defense. This is the stage he is currently in.

The fourth stage, based on the third stage, allows Susanoo to grow a lower body, greatly enhancing its overall size. The user can then hide inside Susanoo's head and be fully protected.

At this point, Susanoo has no defensive weaknesses, and its mobility will be greatly enhanced.

In addition to these four stages, Susanoo also has two other forms: the initial form and the complete form.

The former refers to the initial stage when the Mangekyou Sharingan is activated, where only the shape of the arm and part of the ribs can be altered.

In this form, the caster's body cannot be completely covered, and enemies can even injure the caster through the gaps between the ribs.

Therefore, its practicality is quite limited.

The latter, however, is a form that can only be used by ninjas who have awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

In this form, Susanoo's size will increase dramatically, becoming not only extremely stable but also capable of splitting mountains and shattering the earth.

Furthermore, if the user has sufficient control, it can even perform the user's preferred ninjutsu as the user forms hand seals, and greatly enhance its power.

In addition, it can carry the caster on a flight, making it incredibly powerful with no blind spots.

Therefore, this form of Susanoo is also known as the true Susanoo.

What Qingming needs to do now is to activate the complete Susanoo and crush Ichikishima-hime and the others in one fell swoop.

With that thought, an even more ferocious burst of chakra erupted from his body.

Then, Susanoo, who was protecting him like an ancient general, suddenly straightened up, and two legs suddenly grew from below.

Then, its size expanded rapidly, breaking through the rock layer above its head almost in the blink of an eye.

The focus shifted to the outside world.

From a distance, one could see a massive, silver-white giant, hundreds of meters tall, tearing through the mountainside and emerging from the mountainside amidst a violent tremor.

At this moment, Qingming felt incredibly powerful.

However, he quickly composed himself and refocused his attention on the battle at hand.

This is the second time he has used the complete Susanoo in battle.

Last time, he captured the Seven-Tails, which was trying to escape, with just one hand.

And this time...

Qingming lowered his head and looked at Ichikishima-hime and the others at his feet.

At this moment, in his eyes, they were no different from a few larger venomous snakes, and were not worth fearing at all.

When Princess Ichikishima and the others saw him now, their eyes widened in astonishment.

Even though they had already overestimated Qingming's strength as much as possible.

But now it seems they underestimated Qingming.

Given the current situation, they knew almost without even trying that they were no match for Qingming.

Without any hesitation, they activated their prepared backup plan.

"Lord White Snake, save me!"

That's right, their backup plan is to summon the White Snake Sage.

To some extent, they were able to come here on the orders of the White Snake Immortal.

Otherwise, given Xin Ya's temperament, how could he possibly act with them?
Since that's the case, they would naturally seek out the White Snake Immortal if they had something to do.
