Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 330 A Half-Beat to Heaven: Immortal Technique - Nirvana

Different Susanoo will appear in different forms depending on the user. For example, his Susanoo is blue with a small head and two protrusions on the chin.

His younger brother Izuna's Susanoo is blue, with a round bottom and a pointed top, looking like a drop of water at first glance.

In addition, they will have exclusive weapon designs. For example, he has a curved snake sword, while his younger brother Izuna has a circular blade.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Aokiji's Susanoo being black.

But the problem is, Aokiji only just awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan, yet he already knows how to use Susanoo?

Susanoo is the third eye technique residing in the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the time it takes for this ability to be activated varies depending on the user's talent.

It's important to know that he and his younger brother Izuna were among the most talented in the history of the Uchiha clan. Even so, he only gradually figured out how to use Susanoo after using the Mangekyou Sharingan once.

Aokiji was able to use Susanoo as soon as he opened his Sharingan, his talent exceeding Madara Uchiha's expectations.

Aokiji's face was gloomy. He was in excruciating pain all over his body, including his eyes, from continuously activating his Soul Fire and Susanoo.

His ability to immediately activate Susanoo after awakening his Sharingan is certainly partly due to his talent, but the main reason is that the Five-Tails within him and the Sharingan are essentially the same.

Only by combining the two can Aokiji activate the Susanoo eye technique simply by looking at the eyes.

Blue flames shot out from the Soulfire Hand's arm and burned towards the Four-Tailed Fox.

The four-tailed beast let out a painful cry and grabbed Aokiji's arms with both hands, trying to break free.

Soulfire stepped forward, his other hand gripping the Four-Tails' throat. He steadied himself, refusing to let go no matter how the Four-Tails struggled. His entire body was engulfed in blazing blue flames, determined to kill the Four-Tails.

If I devour this guy, the power of my soul fire will definitely reach a new level.

Seeing that things were going badly, everyone rushed forward to help, unleashing various ninjutsu techniques at Aokiji.

Aokiji gritted his teeth, frantically drawing chakra from the Five-Tails' hand while simultaneously activating his eyes to push Susanoo to the next level.

While the Soulfire is powerful, it still has some drawbacks at present.

When wielding the Soul Flame, Aokiji cannot jump around too much, as this will make the Soul Flame unstable and unable to unleash its full power.

Once Aokiji masters this eye technique in the future, this drawback may not exist, but for now, Aokiji cannot overcome this weakness.

Limited by this weakness, Aokiji could only continue to exploit the power of his eyes.

The black skeleton on its body underwent further changes, surging with black fire wolves that rushed upwards, sprouting a spine that connected to the black skull head. This head had a rooster-like protrusion, and upon closer inspection, there was a round hole in the middle. The shape of this head closely resembled that of a certain guy who liked to dismember people.

Then, under the tempering of the black flames, the skeleton was covered with flesh and veins that looked like real flesh.

In this state, the ninjutsu attacks used by ninjas are like raindrops hitting the Susanoo, having no effect whatsoever.

"Wow, you've reached this level so quickly..."

Madara Uchiha's expression became even more surprised.

He was already surprised that Aokiji could use Susanoo so soon after he opened his eyes; he never expected that Aokiji would evolve Susanoo to this level.

Upon seeing this, the ninjas instinctively took a few steps back.

One Soul Flame was already enough of a headache for them, and now with Susanoo added, they simply can't play this game.

Just when everyone thought the battle was hopeless, Aokiji did something that baffled everyone.

He not only canceled Susanoo, but also canceled the spirit fire that was killing the Four-Tails, thus giving the Four-Tails a chance to catch its breath.

But the real surprise was yet to come. He leaped into the air, with the Soul Flame following closely behind. It opened its mouth and swallowed the blue pheasant whole.

Everyone's expression hardened. They realized that Aokiji wouldn't be so suicidal, and it was clear that something even worse was about to happen.

The next second, their premonition came true: black ribs began to appear in the chest of the Soul Flame, spreading outwards.

"This is..."

When Madara Uchiha saw Aokiji's move, he couldn't help but recall the time when he used Susanoo on Kurama.

The difference is that Aokiji does the opposite; he uses the flames of his soul to cover his body, going against the grain.

The Soulfire roared and spewed countless ice spikes from the ground centered on itself. Those who reacted slowly or were unlucky would have the ice spikes pierce through their bodies.

With the troublesome creature gone, Soul Flame turned around. Now possessing the power of Susanoo, Soul Flame's strength increased dramatically. It ravaged the Four-Tails, directly forcing it back to its original form and revealing its true nature.

Then, without any hesitation, he picked up the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and stuffed him into his mouth, intending to devour him.

This body not only possesses the soul of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, but also envelops the soul of the Four-Tails. If it can be devoured and digested, the power of the Soul Flame will undergo a qualitative leap.

Just as Aokiji was about to do it, an accident occurred.

His pupil power reached its limit, and the side effects began to erupt directly. First, his vision became extremely blurry, and then his eyes were in excruciating pain. Aokiji covered his eyes and screamed in agony.

Without Aokiji's eye power to sustain them, the Soul Flame and Susanoo dissipated one after another.

The blue pheasant fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed; this guy had finally reached his limit...

………………

After that, another battle broke out. Aokiji, who was surrounded, was covered in blood and his vision was so blurred that he was on the verge of going blind.

With victory imminent, everyone could laugh freely this time: "Uchiha Aokiji, give up! You're riddled with wounds, you have no chakra left, you're at your wit's end. Just accept your fate and die."

Aokiji, whose mind had already become abnormal, burst into maniacal laughter.

Everyone frowned, looking puzzled. What was so funny... or had this person gone mad?

Aokiji pointed at the crowd, his eyes gleaming with a madman's light: "You, you, and all of you, remember this: in this world, no one can judge me. Screw your God."

With a low growl, Aokiji formed hand seals, his intense hatred transforming into chakra. In a final burst of energy, his body unleashed its last wisp of chakra, entering Sage Mode 2. However, this time, instead of half his body turning black, his entire body was dyed black. Immediately afterward, his hair began to turn white from the top of his head, and ice crystals seeped from every pore of his body.

"Immortal Technique: Nirvana"

This ninjutsu is a prerequisite for entering true Sage Mode, and there is a high probability of failure.

To die and then to live.

Aokiji is half a move ahead of Heaven.

The sheer amount of chakra was terrifying. Upon seeing this, everyone felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and their bodies instinctively retreated.

P.S.: I've found that when writing fanfiction, it's best to use a timeline with more characters from the original work. This makes it easier to immerse yourself in the story. Okay, now I'm going to jump between timelines...

I decided on this when I was halfway through writing it, so I was deliberately suppressing the protagonist's fighting power, such as his age. Otherwise, if the protagonist is too old, he will become invincible, which would make it impossible for the plot to develop and would result in all sorts of setbacks, which would be unsatisfying to write.

However, after this, I will no longer let the protagonist suffer.
