Chapter 88 -  Akira vs. the Frenzied Five Kage (Part Two)

Boom!

Akira's secret-silver Perfect Susanoo took shape between heaven and earth.

Chōjūrō stared in shock.

"H-Hey! He can use that too?! And it looks even bigger than Sasuke's!"

Sasuke's gaze darkened.

"His Perfect Susanoo… is it on the same level as Madara's?"

Watching from afar, Obito narrowed his eyes.

"Naruto and Sasuke, combined with the Kage's abilities… that move looks seriously overpowered."

"Akira burned through a huge portion of Takemikazuchi's reserves fighting Momoshiki. Relying only on Perfect Susanoo now might be risky."

"We can't hide anymore. Let's step in, Madara."

To be fair, with Kurama's chakra boost and the Five Kage's specialties fused together, Majestic Attire: Susanoo had reached an entirely new level.

Madara didn't deny Obito's assessment.

But he stood calmly with his arms crossed.

"Wait a little longer. I believe Akira will surprise us again."

"Uchiha Akira! If that's your final move, then you've already lost!"

—Majestic Attire: Quicksand Deluge!

As Sasuke spoke, Gaara unleashed a tidal wave of sand beneath the armored behemoth, instantly swallowing Akira's Susanoo up to the waist.

—Majestic Attire: Lightning Soul Flash!

"Go!"

A streak of yellow lightning erupted.

The massive dark-purple titan charged forward at a speed rivaling the Fourth Raikage, Susanoo's great blade slashing through the air.

—Majestic Attire: Bloody Mist Blade Art: Bone Bind!

Dozens of massive blue energy spikes burst forth, stabbing into the upper body of Akira's Susanoo and locking it deeper into the quicksand.

They closed in relentlessly.

Akira remained expressionless.

He simply raised his right arm.

After a brief calculation—

A Devastation Lance condensed and hurled forward.

Boom!

A wall of sand surged up beside Kurama and was instantly pierced.

But that tiny delay was enough.

With Lightning Release and Body Flicker combined, Kurama narrowly avoided the spear.

Boom!

The lance struck the ground behind them and exploded.

Weakened by sand, the shrapnel failed to even scratch Majestic Attire.

"Good! Keep this tempo—finish him in one push!"

Kurotsuchi formed seals.

—Majestic Attire: Earth Release: Ultra-Lightweight Technique!

Whoosh!

Kurama seemed to vanish.

In the next instant, the blade was already at Akira's chest.

Kurotsuchi's seals shifted.

—Majestic Attire: Earth Release: Ultra-Heavyweight Technique!

Boom!

Speed and mass fused into one.

The sword punched through Akira's Susanoo, bursting out the back—hilt, arm, and all.

Crack!

Dark-purple arms twisted.

The expanding force blew Akira's chest cavity apart.

Sasuke stared straight at Akira inside the silver cockpit.

"Uchiha Akira! Surrender now!"

"For defeating Momoshiki, we'll give you one last chance to keep your dignity!"

"Dignity?"

Akira's cold voice rang out.

"Then I regret to inform you—what you just saw was the Five Kage's last shred of it."

His crossed arms dropped to his waist.

Next…

You'll learn what real despair is.

His right Rinnegan and left Eternal Mangekyō ignited with savage light.

—Midobano: Ultimate Susanoo!

Rumble!

A torrent of secret-silver chakra, fiercer than Ultra Shinra Tensei, blasted Majestic Attire away!

The Bone Bind shattered.

The hole in his chest healed instantly.

With a single flap of his wings, he tore free from the sands and soared skyward.

Silver chakra flooded over him.

Akira clenched his hand.

"Freeze."

Crack!

White-silver armor plates spread in every direction.

When the colossus stabilized again—

It now resembled the legendary Susanoo once used by Hagoromo and Hamura against the Ten-Tails.

Chōjūrō's voice trembled.

"T-This… it's at least twice as big as before! How is that possible?!"

Sasuke remained calm.

"…So that's it. His left eye's power."

"After seeing him erase Kurama's Tailed Beast Bomb before, I suspected it."

"One of his left-eye abilities massively amplifies techniques."

"With a Rinnegan base and that power merged into Susanoo…"

"This scale makes sense."

He clenched his lone fist.

"But size alone is just numbers. No change in fundamentals."

"So… we can still win!"

Crackle!

Suddenly, Akira's left eye flared crimson.

—Twin Blossom.

Snap! Crack!

Beneath his black robe, his body reshaped.

His head remained Akira's—

But below the neck, it transformed into Konan's configuration.

Under Midobano's amplification, Ultimate Susanoo gained a special property:

It could share the user's bodily abilities.

With slender pale hands, Akira formed seals.

—Paper God Technique!

Shhhhhh—

Like endless pages turning, countless armor plates peeled away.

They remained hard as steel, yet gained paper's fluidity.

The true Tengu form beneath also disintegrated.

Silver paper flooded the sky.

Floating within the storm, Akira closed his eyes and formed seals again.

Rustle rustle rustle—

Each sheet gained awareness.

They folded and twisted into silver spears made of Susanoo material.

Madara threw back his head and laughed.

"Hahaha! Outstanding, Akira! You never fail to amaze me!"

"W-What… is this…?"

Naruto, Sasuke, and the Five Kage stared blankly.

Above them, billions of spears formed a radiant galaxy.

Akira extended his hand toward them.

"There are six hundred and eighty million Heaven-Slaying Spears."

"They will all fall on you within thirty seconds."

They couldn't comprehend that number.

But when the spears aligned with his gesture—

Their bodies began trembling uncontrollably.

Cold sweat drenched their backs.

"One more question," Akira murmured.

"Should these spears explode…"

"…or not?"

In the suffocating silence, he answered himself.

"I'll decide for you."

"They will."

His hand dropped.

Six hundred and eighty million spears descended.
