"Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze? Heh."
Uchiha Yusuke let out a light chuckle, neither confirming nor denying it.
As the Fourth Raikage said, Minato Namikaze's talent could indeed be described as heaven-defying.
But his short-lived life was something Yusuke had no intention of imitating.
Yusuke had thought about becoming Hokage—but he never planned to die young and be enshrined as a legend.
The battle between the AB Combination and Uchiha Yusuke had already lasted a long time.
The Fourth Raikage and Killer B only grew fiercer as the fight went on, while Yusuke was beginning to show faint signs of fatigue.
Yusuke let out a soft sigh, thinking to himself:
"It seems relying only on Fire Release Chakra Mode and swordsmanship is still a bit insufficient against two Kage-level opponents."
"In that case, I can't keep holding back anymore."
Yusuke sheathed his sword.
The three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly, slowly transforming into a large pinwheel pattern.
The coordination between the Fourth Raikage and Killer B was nearly flawless.
Although Yusuke's elementalized body made it hard for them to injure him directly, being worn down like this would eventually put him in danger.
Against opponents like the AB Combination, an ordinary Sharingan simply wasn't enough.
Since that was the case, Yusuke had no choice but to reveal his hidden trump card.
"Mangekyō Sharingan—open."
Yusuke's gaze sharpened as his pupils instantly changed.
He had awakened his Mangekyō some time ago, but this was the first time he had fully unleashed its power.
After continuous training, Yusuke had already gained solid control over it.
With this power backing him, he was confident he could completely reverse the situation.
The Fourth Raikage sensed nothing unusual.
He even believed Yusuke was already at his limit, just moments away from being slaughtered.
No matter how outstanding this young Uchiha was, victory would ultimately belong to the Kumogakure AB Combination.
This was not yet the time for a change of eras.
The Fourth Raikage was brimming with confidence as he shouted at Yusuke.
"I gave you a chance earlier."
"You were the one who didn't cherish it."
"This battle is already decided—Kumogakure wins!"
"You can take your endless regrets to hell with you!"
...
Facing the Fourth Raikage's taunts, Yusuke replied calmly.
"Are you trying to beat me with words?"
"If that's the case, then congratulations—you've already succeeded."
The Fourth Raikage instantly exploded with rage.
Such provocation would not go unpunished!
"Take this, you Uchiha brat!"
With a furious roar, the Fourth Raikage charged at Yusuke once more.
"Righteous Lightning—Sinking Rage Axe!"
He opened with a devastating killing move, clearly intending to end the battle quickly.
Yusuke remained expressionless.
With the Mangekyō activated, the Fourth Raikage's techniques no longer posed much of a threat to him.
"Clang!"
The Raikage's descending kick sounded as if it had struck solid steel.
Yusuke stood unharmed, his body now covered by a skeletal armor.
"T-this is…?"
The Fourth Raikage froze.
His unstoppable finishing move had been blocked by nothing more than a skeleton?
What kind of joke was this?!
The destructive power of Lightning Release Chakra Mode was something the Fourth Raikage understood better than anyone.
Even the strongest fortifications could be shattered by him.
Yet against the mysterious skeletal structure surrounding Yusuke, his attacks failed completely.
Yusuke chuckled softly and explained.
"Susanoo."
The Fourth Raikage's pupils shrank.
"Susanoo?"
"Mangekyō Sharingan?"
"So that's it—you possess the same eyes as Uchiha Madara!"
Although it was recorded in Kumogakure's secret archives, this was the first time the Fourth Raikage had ever seen it in person.
Yusuke shook his head.
"The same eyes as Uchiha Madara?"
"No. I'm still far from him."
This wasn't false modesty—Madara had long surpassed the Mangekyō and awakened the Rinnegan.
Despite having heard of the Mangekyō's power, the Fourth Raikage showed no fear.
The Uchiha might be legendary, but the Raikage's clan was no pushover either!
With that thought, the Fourth Raikage threw another punch at Yusuke.
"I refuse to believe I can't break this thing!"
"Bang!"
"Step, step…"
Yusuke was pushed back two steps, yet the Susanoo remained completely intact.
Enraged, the Fourth Raikage pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to maximum output.
"I'll show you my ultimate power!"
"B, together!"
Killer B immediately took a battle stance.
"Roger, big bro."
The Fourth Raikage and Killer B attacked from both sides once again.
"Ultimate Ox Lightning Lariat!"
Under the combined assault of two Kage-level powerhouses, cracks finally began to appear across Yusuke's Susanoo.
"There's an opening!"
"Keep increasing the output!"
Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage's spirits surged.
If Yusuke's defense could be broken, he would press the advantage without hesitation.
Yusuke sneered.
"Break my defense?"
"In your dreams."
With a long roar, dark energy surged violently from Yusuke's body.
Veins suddenly appeared within the joints of the skeletal Susanoo, and eerie light flickered in its hollow eye sockets.
"Crackle—"
The skeleton rapidly solidified, transforming into a warrior holding a sword.
Dark energy erupted once more, finally forming a set of black Tengu armor.
After this transformation, the defensive power of Yusuke's Susanoo rose to an absurd level.
With a spiritual weapon in hand, Yusuke in this state was nearly invincible.
The Fourth Raikage's expression changed drastically.
Susanoo could evolve like this?!
Uchiha Yusuke was far more monstrous than he had imagined!
The Fourth Raikage shot Killer B a look.
Danger—retreat immediately!
But before Killer B could react, Yusuke had already launched his counterattack.
With a single motion, both the Fourth Raikage and Killer B felt as if they had been struck by lightning, sent flying through the air.
Yusuke raised his spiritual weapon and slashed downward.
Both were smashed straight into a massive crater.
After suffering consecutive heavy blows, the Fourth Raikage and Killer B looked utterly disheveled.
Just moments ago, they had been pressing Yusuke relentlessly.
But now—
The situation on the battlefield had completely reversed.
