The commotion from Uchiha Naori's courtyard still attracted a lot of attention. At first, everyone thought someone had invaded the core of the Uchiha Clan Land.
It wasn't until an elder activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and barely managed to see the combatants that they realized it was Uchiha Rei and Uchiha Naori sparring.
Second Body felt that Chiri's first stage Susanoo's defense was already comparable to Uchiha Madara's. Although she had never fought Uchiha Madara, Second Body's punch, using her monstrous strength, was similar to Tsunade's.
"Warm-up complete. Next, I'm getting serious." Second Body flew through layers of petal rain, her swinging fist like a Black Flash.
This was a combination of Black Flash and monstrous strength. The first time she used it, she shattered Kitsuchi's arm. Now, making its reappearance, it was bound to shatter Susanoo's defense.
Uchiha Naori stepped on a petal, using its momentum to charge forward. Her cherry-blossom colored Susanoo extended a skeletal arm, holding a blade.
It could be said that Chiri was also a battle maniac; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to quell those rebellious Uchiha back then. Now, these two battle maniacs were unable to contain the battle's fluctuations within this courtyard.
Fortunately, the many elders who arrived immediately evacuated the surrounding Uchiha. Some Uchiha even used Sealing Technique to set up a barrier, preventing further damage to the Uchiha Clan Land.
"Second Body and Chiri are truly too reckless! Conducting high-intensity combat in the clan's inner sanctum!"
Uchiha Shoya watched the petal rain within the barrier, both amused and exasperated. The petals, caught in the force, created ripples when they hit the barrier, showing the immense power behind them.
The Black Flash on her fist compressed the air in front, forming a columnar air cannon when it struck, first colliding with the Susanoo blade.
The tip of the sword was directly shattered bit by bit, and then, when the Black Flash hit the blade, the thick Susanoo weapon directly exploded.
Like something made of sugar cubes, the blade, along with the Susanoo skeletal arm, was shattered. The immense force pushed Uchiha Naori backward continuously.
Moments later, she crashed into the barrier jointly cast by many Uchiha. Chiri, protected by Susanoo's ribs, directly shattered the barrier behind her.
She flew into one of the wooden houses, and the wooden house collapsed with a roar. However, Second Body still didn't stop. She knew Chiri couldn't be injured.
As expected, a half-body, cherry-blossom colored skeletal Susanoo pushed open the ruins of the wooden house. Silken threads rapidly grew on the skeleton, weaving into muscles.
Then, it was covered in skin and clothing. A half-body Susanoo, clad in grand armor, stood proudly between heaven and earth. Its half-body height reached over twenty meters.
Chiri gazed at Uchiha Rei, who was rapidly approaching, stepping on petals in the air. Her Doujutsu erupted, and a long bow emerged in the half-body Susanoo's hand.
The half-body Susanoo held the bow in its left hand and drew the string with its right. A cherry-blossom colored arrow appeared, its arrowhead spiraled, and the arrow's length reached over ten meters.
The Uchiha elders in the distance, along with their clansmen, retreated further and further, many watching the cherry-blossom colored giant in astonishment.
A small number of Jonin noticed the tiny Uchiha Rei still charging forward, her body bent as if to draw a sword and cleave the heavens.
"Is this the Susanoo of the Third Power? It's truly incredible. That is the power that can quell a chaotic era."
The young Uchiha clansmen were seeing Susanoo for the first time. The oppressive feeling it brought was comparable to that of a Tailed Beast.
Uchiha Naori nocked an arrow and fired. One thick arrow after another sliced through the sky, carrying immense kinetic energy, seemingly intent on destroying everything.
Second Body suddenly drew Ame no Habakiri, and a piercing sword light appeared, cleaving the first arrow. The arrow's shattered remains turned into meteors embedded in the damaged barrier.
Although the arrow, having lost its powerful kinetic energy, did not pierce the barrier, it caused countless spiderweb-like cracks.
One arrow after another was deflected by Uchiha Rei. What kind of miracle was this? The tiny Uchiha Rei, wielding a sword over a meter long, skillfully deflected arrows that were like pillars of the sky.
The arrows continuously struck the barrier. As the Uchiha casting the barrier cried out in alarm, under the penetration of one particular arrow, the barrier collapsed with a crash.
At this moment, Second Body also rushed in front of the half-body Susanoo. Chiri controlled the Susanoo's long bow to transform into a long sword, then gathered power and swung horizontally.
The sword light, like a bolt of silk, seemed to be composed of countless cherry blossoms, dreamlike and illusory. This was the Illusionary Sword Style: Cherry Rain. However, Second Body's Wind Release Chakra Mode blocked the genjutsu light, so she was not affected by the illusion.
Many of the Uchiha watching from afar, however, fell into the genjutsu, enchanted by the exquisite beauty of this sword strike. They could only see a magnificent, cherry-blossom colored longsword filling the heavens, striking down upon them.
Second Body did not intend to directly block this brilliant sword light. Instead, her feet touched the ground in rapid succession, both times using monstrous strength for explosive bursts.
Like an intercontinental missile launching from the ground, Second Body's figure crossed out of the sword's path just as it was about to strike, arriving in front of Susanoo.
In just a moment, Ame no Habakiri was drawn and unleashed a cross-shaped sword light. With the Technique of Ten Divisions enhancing it, the strike landed on the Susanoo's chest, at the three-to-seven mark.
Like a hot knife through butter, the indestructible Susanoo armor was cross-cut and shattered by the cross-shaped sword qi. Susanoo's head was even horizontally cleaved off.
And as Second Body sheathed her sword, she stepped on the Susanoo's grasping hand, using the momentum to close in on Susanoo, and then unleashed a Black Flash.
This time, the half-body Susanoo's chest completely shattered. Amidst the scattered debris, Second Body appeared behind the broken Susanoo. However, Second Body's combo did not cause any damage to Chiri.
Mainly, Second Body was afraid of not being able to control her strength and accidentally killing Chiri, which would truly be a filial blunder. The facts proved that the half-body Susanoo could no longer suppress Uchiha Rei.
Understanding this, Uchiha Naori increased the influx of Doujutsu. Soon, Susanoo's body rapidly and completely recovered, and even more skeletal structures grew out.
The Susanoo, with its lower body grown out, increased its height to over eighty meters. However, this was not its complete form. Chiri's remaining Doujutsu did not allow her to transform Susanoo into its complete form.
But even so, the eighty-meter-tall Susanoo still shocked everyone. Even people in the Village saw the tall, cherry-blossom colored giant.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was drawn by the commotion at the Uchiha Clan Land. He came to the window, took a deep puff of his pipe, and his thoughts, upon seeing Susanoo, returned to the distant past.
A large number of Anbu went to inform the villagers not to panic, that this was just an exercise, while a large number of Jonin arrived at the Hokage Office, ready to receive orders.
"Monkey, the Uchiha are getting more and more out of control." Utatane Koharu came to the office. If Danzo were still here, he would probably tell the Third Hokage to immediately eradicate the Uchiha.
"That's Uchiha Naori. At such an old age, she can still cause such a commotion, it's truly..."
Homura Mitokado remembered that fierce individual who single-handedly suppressed the Uchiha and then came to the Hokage Office with a sword to negotiate with Senju Tobirama.
"She should be sparring with Second Body. Besides that, there's probably no one else who would require her to use Susanoo."
The Third Hokage seemed to see that tiny person fighting against the giant.
