The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

"We succeeded!"

The people opposite cheered and skillfully divided the tasks.

One person caught the fallen Yamanaka Kaze and quickly retreated, while the other stepped forward and reached out to catch the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki that was flying towards them.

Their teamwork was seamless, clearly the result of countless real-world drills. The moment the mind control was successful, the entire squad immediately moved into their designated tactical positions.

Before the ninja who came forward to help could even touch Naruto's body, his eyes suddenly lit up and a violent burst of chakra energy erupted, crashing towards him like an invisible giant wall. The ninja was sent flying before he could even make a defensive stance.

The mindset of completing the mission was etched into the hearts of every member of the Root organization. The ninja, still in mid-air, forcibly twisted his body, stretching his arm forward recklessly, reaching out to grab Naruto, who was being blown away not far away.

But to everyone's surprise, a huge, bright red energy hand suddenly appeared, grabbed him in one swift motion, as easily as catching an ant, and gently squeezed him.

A chilling sound of bones cracking rang out, and blood spurted from between Susanoo's big fingers, splashing everywhere under the moonlight, blooming into a bright flower of life.

Like throwing away trash, Uchiha An casually tossed the ninja's mangled corpse onto the ground and then pulled Naruto back into the water.

"What is this thing?!"

Shan Zhongfeng coughed up a mouthful of blood, slowly regained consciousness, and lay on his companion's body. He stared wide-eyed at the enormous skeleton of a half-giant that seemed to reach the sky.

The breaking of his secret technique was a serious injury to him. If it weren't for his companions protecting him, he would probably have been blown away by the chakra storm.

"This is the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Uchiha An stood firmly on the ground, inside the Susanoo's abdomen, his face resembling Uchiha Itachi's, displaying his arrogance as he laughed wildly:

"In the end, ninjutsu is all about the strength of chakra!"

"All those secret techniques and forbidden techniques are just trash compared to the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

The crowd stared in terror at the red chakra giant, its immense pressure making it hard for them to breathe.

As Danzo's confidant, Yamanaka Fu knew a lot of secret information, including the Mangekyou Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

However, neither of them had ever shown the Susanoo form in the village before, so he had some misjudgment of this power.

Now that he has experienced it firsthand, he understands just how different the data on paper is from what he has actually seen.

Although it is only in the first stage of the skeleton form, this power is indeed beyond common sense, something so exaggerated that ordinary ninjas would despair at the sight of it.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Uchiha Anzai, holding the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, pulled him to his side, placed him at his feet, protected him with Susanoo, and then slammed his right palm down heavily on Aburame Ryoma, who had been sent flying earlier.

The enormous chakra palm pressed down with destructive force; even before the palm wind arrived, the ground had already begun to crack and sink.

Aburame Ryoma was shocked and hurriedly released more parasitic insects to defend himself, but the insect spheres he released had no effect on blocking the exaggerated attack of Susanoo.

The dark swarm of insects was easily torn apart like paper in front of the giant hand and scattered in an instant.

The parasitic insects emitted a desperate buzz, turning into dust under the crushing force of chakra.

Left with no other choice, Aburame Ryoma once again had to abandon his insect clones to save his life.

Seeing that Ryoma was in danger, his two companions rushed over to rescue him.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

The combined ninjutsu unleashed its power once more, and a massive wave of flames swept in again. But this time, Uchiha An didn't even need to use ninjutsu. He simply swung his enormous palm, breaking through the flames' blockade. Ignoring the scorching heat, he directly tore through the fire curtain, and the resulting airflow swirled the flames into a vortex, which then fell directly towards the two of them.

Such power was too terrifying, and the two dared not block it head-on, so they hurriedly dodged away.

But Susanoo moved according to the user's will, sweeping horizontally and catching up with a person's figure, its giant hand opening and clenching tightly.

"what……"

With a scream, the ninja didn't even have a chance to use the substitution jutsu before he was turned into a pile of minced meat and died on the spot.

"Ha ha……"

Uchiha An laughed wildly, filled with endless madness and pain, as if venting his long-suppressed hatred and anger.

"Did you see that?"

"This is what we got at the cost of the Uchiha clan's lives!"

"This is the power that old bastard Danzo has been longing for and desperately wanted to obtain!"

"This is why those guys from the Third Hokage were genuinely afraid and determined to exterminate the Uchiha clan!"

With each roar, Susanoo's attack grew even more ferocious, its crimson chakra churning like boiling blood, and the windmill pattern in its Sharingan spinning wildly.

He didn't use any ninjutsu; he just kept striking with his palms, each strike causing the earth to shake and forcing everyone into a corner.

Yamanaka Fu and the others scurried about like rats, and all their counter-attack ninjutsu only managed to create a ripple when they hit Susanoo, failing to break through its defenses at all.

"Damn it!" Yamanaka Kaze gasped for breath. "How could Uchiha Itachi be this strong?"

Ryoma Aburame also expended a lot of energy, and her already unhealthy complexion became even more translucent white.

As he continued to release insects to harass the enemy's pursuit, he exclaimed in amazement:

"I only know he's very skilled in illusion magic, but the intelligence reports didn't mention anything about him being able to do such exaggerated things!"

"It seems that Shisui also possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan. If the Mangekyou Sharingan is this powerful, how did the Uchiha clan end up being wiped out?"

Shan Zhongfeng glanced at him silently, said nothing, and simply changed the subject:

"There's no point in saying this now. Susanoo's defense is too strong; we can't break through it at all. Does anyone have any powerful offensive ninjutsu they can use?"

Everyone shook their heads. "No, even forbidden techniques can't harm that energy giant."

Yamamoto Kaze went to look at Aburame Ryoma again, only to see Aburame Ryoma shaking his head and saying:

"If I had known this guy's defenses were so strong, I should have let Qu Gen come. His forbidden technique, the Poison Pot Technique, is a large-scale poison gas attack, extremely difficult to defend against and cure. Perhaps it could be infiltrated."

"My insects can indeed absorb a certain amount of chakra, but Itachi's chakra is ridiculously abundant, almost like a tailed beast. Even if all my insects die, I still can't absorb all of his chakra."

"However, he has remained standing still, and there is no trace of giant chakra beneath his feet. Perhaps we can try to break through."

"Underfoot?" Yamanaka Kaze asked, glancing sideways as he ran around Susanoo. Sure enough, he saw what appeared to be an opening and immediately nodded, saying, "I'll create the opportunity this time. You guys coordinate."

"Remember, you only get one chance, so you must make sure it's a sure thing."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, then squeezed out their chakra and ran quickly around the Susanoo.
