Just as everyone thought Shun had met with disaster, a golden light suddenly erupted from the thick smoke.
Sage Art: Susanoo!
The thick smoke was dispersed by a golden light, and a golden giant over 1,000 meters tall emerged.
The golden giant flapped the wings on its back, stirring up a whirlwind, and the eight paper clones were instantly sliced into fragments by the wind, turning into smoke and disappearing.
Konan's pupils contracted, and for the first time, an expression of shock appeared on her face, her paper wings trembling involuntarily.
Watching the television screen, the people around cheered.
"Shun-sama is as powerful as a God."
Deva Path looked at the golden giant in front of him and pushed with both hands.
Shinra Tensei!
His body's Chakra surged wildly, and a wave of energy several times more powerful spread out, forming a semi-circular air blast that slammed into the golden Susanoo.
Bang!
The powerful repulsive force struck the golden Susanoo, creating a deafening roar, and the entire border ground shook violently.
The 1,000-meter-tall golden Susanoo was actually forced back two steps by this force.
Sayuri in the sky watched the retreating Susanoo, her heart once again in her throat, and said into the microphone, "Shun-sama has activated the legendary Susanoo! Although it was pushed back two steps, we believe that Shun-sama will definitely win!"
In the teahouse, the common people looked at the majestic golden giant on the screen, and their initially nervous emotions were gradually replaced by awe.
Tatsuma took a deep breath and said to the person next to him, "That is... Susanoo. The strongest jutsu of the legendary Uchiha clan."
Yuri wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes, revealing an excited smile. "That's great. Shun-sama is fine."
High above the Land of Fire's border, Sayuri, protected by a Chakra shield arranged by Shun, was holding a microphone and conducting a live broadcast.
With the camera focused on the battlefield below, her voice carried a hint of nervousness, yet she maintained a professional calm. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now above the Land of Fire's border, where Shun-sama is fiercely battling Pain of the Land of Akatsuki and Uchiha Obito! As you can see, Shun-sama has summoned a Susanoo over 1000 meters tall, its aura is astonishing!"
This live broadcast signal not only reached every television in the Land of Water but also quietly flowed into the secret strongholds of the three great nations: Earth, Wind, and Lightning.
Inside the daimyo's residence in the capital of the Land of Earth, the Earth Daimyo clutched the armrest, staring intently at the screen before him.
On the screen, Shun's Susanoo stood like a pillar supporting the sky, while Ōnoki, leaning on his staff beside him, frowned, his cloudy eyes filled with solemnity.
In Sunagakure's camp, Rasa was also secretly watching the screen, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table, while the ninja behind him dared not make a sound.
In the Kumogakure camp, A slammed his fist on the table and said in a deep voice, "Shun's strength is far greater than what was in the intelligence reports."
...
Deva Path floated in mid-air, and the Chakra in his palm suddenly erupted.
Shinra Tensei!
A powerful repulsive force, like an invisible giant wave, swept towards Shun's Susanoo, instantly kicking up sand and rocks from the ground, even dispersing the distant clouds.
Sayuri subconsciously tightened her grip on the microphone, her voice trembling slightly. "Deva Path has launched an attack, it seems to be a powerful Ninjutsu that can repel everything. Can Shun-sama's Susanoo block it?"
The camera was fixed on the Susanoo.
The hearts of the Land of Water's civilians instantly leaped into their throats. They forgot to breathe, their cheeks flushed crimson.
Inside the daimyo's residence in the Land of Earth, the Earth Daimyo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the might of the Shinra Tensei.
"Good, Pain's strength is not bad either. Perhaps he can keep Shun in check."
But no sooner had he spoken than the scene on the screen made his pupils contract sharply.
Shun controlled Susanoo to raise its long sword and slash into the repulsive force.
Clang!
A tremendous crashing sound came through the screen. Although Susanoo's arm paused slightly, it withstood the impact of the Shinra Tensei head-on.
Susanoo exerted force, its long sword forcefully cut through the repulsive force, and continued to cleave towards Deva Path.
Deva Path's pupils contracted, clearly not expecting Shun's Susanoo to be able to break through the Shinra Tensei.
He quickly adjusted his Chakra, applying the repulsive force in reverse to himself, using the recoil to fly backward, narrowly dodging the blade.
Susanoo's long sword grazed his trench coat, creating a gust of wind.
Boom!
The long sword struck the ground, instantly splitting open a bottomless chasm.Gravel and dust shot into the sky., forming a dust column dozens of meters high, even blurring the distant broadcast camera slightly.
Sayuri hastily adjusted the camera position and excitedly said, "The power of this single strike is astonishing, a huge crack has been split into the ground!"
...
"This... how is this possible?"
The Earth Daimyo's voice was filled with disbelief, his fingers turning white from clenching.
"Has Pain been defeated? Was our previous alliance attack on the Land of Water too impulsive?"
He looked at the unstoppable Susanoo on the screen, a wave of regret surging in his heart.
If he had known Shun was so powerful, he would never have provoked the Land of Water along with the nations of Lightning, Wind, and Akatsuki. Now, he had to guard against retaliation from the Land of Water.
Ōnoki coughed lightly, his eyes still fixed on the screen. "Don't worry, Daimyo. Let's watch again. Although Susanoo is powerful, it consumes an enormous amount of Chakra. And Pain is fine, he has already dodged the attack."
Obito's voice came through his mask. "Shun, you were too careless."
Kamui!
A strange, twisting spatial power suddenly appeared on Susanoo's forehead. That was the core of Susanoo, and also its strongest defensive point.
Sayuri gasped in surprise, her camera fixed on Susanoo's forehead.
The people of the Land of Water instantly panicked.
Yuri covered her mouth, the chatter in the teahouse abruptly ceased, and everyone held their breath, watching the screen.
Crack... Crunch!
A crisp shattering sound came through the broadcast equipment.
A large hole appeared in the crystal on Susanoo's forehead, and its massive body, over 1000 meters tall, began to become transparent, gradually turning into countless specks of light and dissipating into the air.
"Susanoo... has disappeared..."
Sayuri's voice was filled with disbelief, her eyes slightly red.
The emotions of the Land of Water's civilians instantly plummeted.
Tatsuma's teacup crashed to the ground with a "clatter," spilling tea everywhere.
In front of the general store, someone sighed in a low voice, "Could it be... that Shun-sama is going to lose?"
—
The Earth Daimyo immediately perked up. "Excellent! Susanoo has been broken! Ōnoki, look, I told you Pain and that mysterious person could do it!"
Ōnoki, however, shook his head, pointing at the screen. "Look at Shun's expression, he isn't flustered at all. And did you notice, Pain and Obito only managed to break Susanoo by working together? The strength of these two is also not bad. To be able to make these two work together against him, Shun's strength... has far exceeded our imagination."
...
Shun frowned slightly, looking down at Obito, without a hint of panic in his eyes.
Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan spun again, and his maniacal laughter came through the wind.
"Hahaha! Shun, I didn't expect you to have this day! Die!"
A spatial rift attacked Shun, clearly intending to deliver a fatal blow.
"Do you think you can defeat me like this?"
Shun's expression remained calm, and he quickly clapped his hands together:
Blazing Angel Shadow Clone!
In an instant, a thousand Blazing Angels with golden flaming wings burning on their backs filled the sky like countless stars, rekindling hope in the hearts of the people watching the screen.
"It's the Blazing Angels! Shun-sama still has a trump card!"
Sayuri's voice became impassioned again, and the camera swept across the sky full of Blazing Angels.
"A thousand Blazing Angels! They are flying towards the mysterious person, this battle is not over yet!"
In the teahouse, Tatsuma excitedly stood up. "Excellent! Shun-sama did not disappoint us!"
In the marketplace, the people began to cheer, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly.
