The magatama successfully hit the Nine-Tails' weak point, injuring the Nine-Tails.
Uchiha En immediately activated Inari, and the Nine-Tails' immense Chakra and life force surged into Uchiha En's body.
And with his stats doubled, Uchiha En could clearly perceive that his Susanoo could advance further.
The next second, Uchiha En injected his Eye power into Susanoo.
Susanoo's body expanded again, becoming a full circle larger than the Nine-Tails, which was originally the same size. Susanoo's lower body also grew legs.
At the same time, Uchiha En's Susanoo, because it was wearing a nodachi, had purple electric arcs flashing on the nodachi, making it look incredibly imposing.
At this moment, Uchiha En clearly felt that his power now surpassed the Nine-Tails without a Jinchuriki.
The power a Tailed Beast can unleash with or without a Jinchuriki is completely different.
Although a Jinchuriki is a cage that restrains a Tailed Beast, in a sense, a Jinchuriki is also a means of protecting the Tailed Beast.
If the Nine-Tails here was the one that shared a bond with Naruto, and had Naruto as its Jinchuriki, let alone a fourth-stage Susanoo, even a Perfect Susanoo might not be able to defeat the Nine-Tails.
Unfortunately, there was no Jinchuriki to help the Nine-Tails now.
Uchiha En manipulated Susanoo to swing the nodachi, and the nodachi, imbued with purple electric arcs, directly swept the Nine-Tails away.
The Nine-Tails had now regained its self-awareness. Earlier, when it saw Uchiha En's third-stage Susanoo, it didn't think much of it and felt it could still fight.
But as Uchiha En's Susanoo evolved again, the Nine-Tails knew it was no match for Uchiha En.
So, it used the force of Uchiha En's attack to fly away.
Then the Nine-Tails got up from the ground and turned to run. Having finally escaped the Jinchuriki, it certainly didn't want to be caught again.
Uchiha En was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected the Nine-Tails to choose to flee.
At this moment, there was still a wooden golem rampaging in the center of the Village. Although the Third Hokage and Uchiha Shisui were trying to stop the wooden golem, both were clearly struggling.
If it were just the Third Hokage, Uchiha En would definitely chase the Nine-Tails without hesitation.
But Shisui was also there, and he hadn't awakened his Susanoo yet. If this continued, Shisui could be in danger.
Therefore, Uchiha En was somewhat hesitant.
"En, go chase the Nine-Tails. The Third, Shisui, and I can handle this wooden man together, and I also sensed the Fourth Hokage's Chakra; he should be here too." Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Uchiha En's ear.
Uchiha En's eyes lit up. He immediately turned and saw Asana sitting on the back of Lightning.
Asana had now entered Snake Sage Mode.
Two pairs of small white horns appeared on her forehead, she had purple eyeshadow around her eyes, and her skin was even fairer than before, with faint traces of scales still visible.
At the same time, Uchiha En also noticed that Asana's Byakugan looked somewhat different after being activated.
After Asana's Byakugan evolved, it looked very similar to the Tenseigan, with blue pupils. Around the pupils, there were circles of what looked like electric arcs constantly dissipating.
Now, Asana's pupils were still blue, but the electric arc-like things around them had turned purplish-black, giving her an extra touch of demonic allure.
"Is this Snake Sage Mode?"
"Yes, my talent in this area is quite good; my mastery of Snake Sage Mode is almost perfect. To go further, I would have to transform more into a snake-like state, even having a snake on my body, which I can't quite accept, so I haven't continued cultivating it."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha En couldn't help but think of Yakushi Kabuto's Snake Sage Mode. Yakushi Kabuto also said that his Snake Sage Mode was the most perfect form. It's reasonable that Asana couldn't accept too many snake features on her body and thus didn't continue cultivating, meaning she was still a bit short of perfection.
"En, hurry! The Nine-Tails is getting away. We can talk more after this is over."
Uchiha En nodded and pursued the Nine-Tails.
Asana glanced at the wooden golem in the center of the Village and the Third Hokage fighting it, then murmured, "Having learned Sage Mode, I should be considered a strong person now!"
With that, Asana leaped off Lightning's back. In mid-air, she formed hand signs, and a purplish-black lightning bolt descended from the sky.
"Sage Art: Lightning Release: Lightning Flash!"
"Crack—" The purplish-black lightning bolt struck directly at Tobi on top of the wooden golem's head.
Tobi convulsed all over from the electric shock, and black smoke even rose from his body.
Just as Tobi's body was paralyzed by the Lightning Release, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared, and his Rasengan blasted Tobi directly off the wooden golem's head.
"Ah~" Accompanied by a scream, Tobi fell to the ground.
Shisui immediately used Body Flicker Technique to appear beside Tobi. He raised his short sword and slashed down at Tobi's neck.
Tobi was cut directly in half by Shisui.
But to Shisui's surprise, just as he was about to retrieve Tobi's "corpse," he found that Tobi's head and body simultaneously sank into the ground.
Only then did Shisui realize that Tobi hadn't died!
"Shisui, don't worry about that guy! Let's deal with this wooden golem first!" Asana shouted to Shisui.
