"How… how is this possible?", Pakura's face was full of terror, her voice trembling so badly it was almost out of tune.
She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the scene in front of her.
Even Chiyo, who was always calm and steady, had a vacant look in her eyes at this moment, completely stunned by this sudden turn of events.
The reason Susanoo is praised as the power of a god is precisely because it possesses terrifying strength that ordinary ninja find impossible to contend with.
In front of such power, mortals are like ants, utterly unworthy of comparison.
Even if it is just a clone, as long as his pupil power and chakra are sufficient, he can still activate Susanoo.
The current Rengoku already has the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and his pupil power has been greatly strengthened.
Right now, four Susanoo are still not his limit.
This is also why he dares to have one thousand people fight four thousand people.
"Elder Chiyo, what do we do?", Pakura's slightly panicked voice rang out, the fear within it clearly audible.
Although her Scorch Release is formidable, and as long as it brushes or touches someone it can roast them into a dried corpse, her Scorch Release is completely useless against Susanoo.
It cannot even break through Susanoo's outer armor.
When Elder Chiyo heard Pakura's cry, her eyes were only dazed for a brief instant. Immediately after, a ruthless look surged into her gaze.
She gritted her teeth and said, "What else can we do? There's no other way. We can only use our lives to wear it down!"
At this moment, two deafening booms suddenly rang out.
BOOM! BOOM!
It turned out that Rengoku had taken the lead, charging at the very front like a dazzling meteor.
As the Hokage of Konoha, Rengoku's act of leading the charge instantly ignited the fighting spirit in the hearts of all the Konoha ninja.
One by one, they became like they had been injected with steroids, howling as they followed closely behind Rengoku.
"Long live the clan leader!"
The members of the Uchiha clan shouted in unison. Their faces were flushed red with excitement, and every single one of their eyes shone with incomparable reverence and pride.
As the Uchiha clan, who value honor above all else, their sense of honor at this moment seemed capable of piercing the clouds.
At the same time, the other ninja of Konoha Village were not to be outdone. They also raised their voices and shouted their own slogans, "Lord Hokage is mighty!"
This slogan was like a surging wave, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
At this moment, everyone in Konoha Village was brimming with morale and imposing momentum.
The formation tightly revolved around Rengoku, launching fierce combat with Rengoku's massive Susanoo as the core.
Every time Rengoku swung the giant sword in his hand, sweeping down the enemies of Sunagakure like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, the Konoha ninja beside him would immediately rush up without hesitation to deliver the finishing blow.
And when faced with the dense rain of poisoned needles shot over from Sunagakure, or the puppets that charged forward without fear of death, the Konoha ninja would nimbly dodge behind Rengoku's Susanoo to seek shelter.
With this impregnable shield, they could continue slaughtering the enemy without any worries.
In order to serve as a proper benchmark, Rengoku's main body Susanoo evolved further, reaching a height of fifty meters.
One fifty-meter Susanoo, accompanied by three thirty-meter ones, strode forward in great steps.
Rengoku controlled Susanoo, calmly taking on the role of the strongest spear, the strongest shield, and the vanguard all at once.
On Konoha's side, the tactical arrangements were well organized. They advanced steadily, fully bringing out the advantages of Susanoo.
If any of Rengoku's fellow townsmen were here, they would know that this kind of tactic was an alternative form of infantry and armor coordination.
However, in stark contrast, the Sunagakure side looked like mice dragging a turtle at this moment.
They were completely unable to find any effective means of attack, falling into an awkward situation of helplessness.
Left with no choice, the ninja of Sunagakure could only come up with a stopgap measure.
They tightly bound explosive tags to all kinds of ninja tools, then threw them with all their might toward Rengoku's massive Susanoo.
Faced with the explosive tags coming like raindrops, Rengoku's Susanoo merely raised one arm casually.
It easily blocked the violent energy unleashed by the explosive tags outside its body.
Even so, as Susanoo took step after step forward, the ninja of Sunagakure had no choice but to fight while retreating.
At this moment, Sunagakure's side finally managed to gather an astonishing number of explosive tags.
A glint flashed through Chiyo's eyes as her finger lightly hooked. A delicate puppet immediately sprang into action.
It accurately carried all the explosive tags onto Rengoku's Susanoo and detonated them.
With a dull boom of "BOOM," the entire battlefield seemed to tremble.
Rengoku's Susanoo was shaken slightly by the sudden fierce explosion, but it only wobbled for a very brief moment.
Clearly, an explosion of explosive tags of this scale and power could no longer pose any real threat to a fifty-meter-tall Susanoo.
It simply could not break through its impregnable defense.
Seeing this, Chiyo's face instantly darkened, and she could not help but cry out in distress inwardly.
She clearly realized that the Susanoo Rengoku had summoned this time, compared to the last time it appeared, was not only larger in size, but also had significantly improved defensive power.
At this moment, because his teammates failed to keep up with his pace in time, Rengoku simply chose to stop in place and focus on reinforcing the defensive line.
He controlled the originally black-light-flashing sword in Susanoo's hand to disappear.
He then clasped his hands together and suddenly pulled them apart to both sides.
In an instant, three Yasaka Magatama began to condense in the palm of each Susanoo.
"Quick, dodge!"
A wave of terrified and shrill shouts came from Sunagakure's side, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The power of the Yasaka Magatama is on par with a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Anyone who even lightly brushes against it will instantly lose their life; if one is unlucky enough to be hit directly, they will be shattered to pieces, body and soul destroyed.
In the blink of an eye, a full twelve magatama emitting eerie light shot toward the people of Sunagakure like meteors.
Pakura's chakra erupted violently from her entire body like a volcanic explosion.
Immediately afterward, more than ten huge, blazing fireballs appeared out of thin air and spun rapidly in midair as they slammed toward those magatama.
However, even though Pakura used every ounce of her strength, compared to the Yasaka Magatama, her Scorch Release fireballs were far inferior in terms of cohesion.
Those ten-plus fireballs only managed to stop two of the magatama, while the rest continued to fly forward with unstoppable force.
At the same time, the Sunagakure ninja on the other side also unleashed their own signature skills.
Without hesitation, they threw out the carefully crafted puppets in their hands, attempting to use them to block the attack of the Yasaka Magatama.
Unfortunately, everything they did achieved very little.
Booms rang out one after another, and only six of the Yasaka Magatama exploded in midair.
The remaining magatama smashed straight into Sunagakure's side. The Sunagakure ninja were instantly blown into chaos.
In the blink of an eye, more than thirty ninja died on the spot, and the number of injured was countless.
In just a short span of time, relying on the impregnable defense and overwhelming impact of Rengoku's Susanoo, the Sunagakure side had already suffered devastating losses, with the death toll reaching more than four hundred.
Faced with this Susanoo giant that simply could not be broken through, the ninja of Sunagakure all turned pale as paper.
Despair showed in their eyes, and their once high fighting spirit had completely vanished.
"Retreat! Retreat immediately! Everyone split into two groups and withdraw from here quickly!"
With Chiyo's order, the Sunagakure ninja snapped out of it as if waking from a dream and began running to both sides, trying to escape this terrifying battlefield.
With the battle having reached this point, Chiyo knew that no matter how many lives they piled up, there was no way to break through Susanoo's defense.
So she had no choice but to order a retreat. The people of Konoha did not lose their heads and rush into a pursuit.
After all, their strongest siege weapon was Uchiha Rengoku's Susanoo.
So when Rengoku's Susanoo chased, they followed.
When Susanoo stopped, they also stopped.
"Stop the pursuit! Regroup!"
With a raise of Rengoku's hand, all the people of Konoha slowly began to clean up the battlefield.
