"That's more like it. Let me see how much your strength has grown over these years. Don't lose your lives because you're holding back—I won't show mercy."
"Come on."
A red glint flashed in Isamu's eyes as his pentagonal Mangekyō Sharingan spun to life.
"Let me show you my speed."
With that, Kamui activated. A spatial vortex twisted into existence, swallowing Isamu whole.
"You two, be careful!" Tsunade shouted. "That's the Uchiha Clan's ultimate dōjutsu—the Mangekyō Sharingan. It's extremely dangerous to deal with!"
"I warned you… but it seems you didn't listen."
Isamu's voice suddenly echoed beside Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
"Oh no—!"
Before they could react—
BANG!
Both were kicked into the air.
"Hehe… here I come."
A vortex flickered again, and Isamu vanished—only to reappear midair.
Left—kick!
Right—punch!
Again—and again—and again.
"Ahhh!"
"Gahhh!"
Their bodies were battered relentlessly, their screams the only proof of what was happening. Isamu moved so fast he was practically invisible.
"Stop this right now!"
Boom!
Tsunade leapt upward, perfectly timing her move. She caught both of them midair and landed heavily on the ground.
Isamu didn't interfere.
He let her.
---
"Are you two alright?"
"Pfft!"
Both Jiraiya and Orochimaru spat out blood at the same time.
"That speed… insane…"
"I got hit over forty times in an instant… what the hell is that…"
Isamu appeared before them again, smiling faintly.
"You're already done? Want me to stand still and let you hit me for two minutes?"
"Don't get cocky!" Jiraiya wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up. "Give me an opening and I'll beat you down!"
"Don't underestimate us, Isamu," Orochimaru added coldly.
"Tch… we're not done yet," Tsunade stepped forward, her eyes locked onto him.
"Heh… good."
Isamu slowly raised his hands.
"Using speed alone is bullying you too much. Let me see your Ninjutsu."
His hands flashed through seals.
"Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
A monstrous sea of fire erupted, surging forward like a blazing ocean.
"What a terrifying Fire Release—Jiraiya!" Orochimaru shouted.
"Got it!"
Both moved in perfect sync.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
A massive torrent surged forth, colliding violently with the inferno.
HISSSSS—!
Steam exploded into the sky, engulfing the battlefield.
Isamu watched calmly.
"Not bad… barely acceptable."
---
Behind them, thousands of Shinobi watched with burning excitement.
"Don't let the leaders fight alone!"
"Charge!!"
Like a tidal wave, the Allied Forces surged forward.
"Idiots! Stay back!" Jiraiya roared—but it was useless.
Too many.
Too reckless.
Isamu's expression turned cold.
"Hmph. A swarm of ants dares to dance before me?"
He didn't even look at them.
"Uchiha Clan—attack. Slaughter them."
"ROAR!!!"
With thunderous force, Uchiha Umei launched forward, shattering the ground beneath his feet.
The others followed.
They tore into the battlefield like beasts—each strike sending bodies flying, each movement crushing dozens.
It wasn't a fight.
It was a massacre.
---
"Oh no… they're all Kage-level!" Jiraiya shouted. "We have to support them!"
He moved—
But Isamu blocked him.
"Trying to leave?"
A colossal chakra avatar erupted around him.
"Susanoo!"
The towering figure materialized—radiating overwhelming pressure.
"Yasakani Magatama!"
Eight glowing projectiles formed instantly and were hurled forward.
"Idiot! Don't get distracted!" Orochimaru snapped.
"Earth Release: Four-Fold Earth Wall!"
Four massive walls rose—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
They shattered instantly.
The attack veered—slamming into the Shinobi ranks behind them.
"AAAAHHH!!!"
Dozens were obliterated in an instant.
---
Jiraiya froze, sweat dripping down his face.
"That… almost killed us."
"Focus!" Orochimaru panted. "One mistake and we're dead."
Tsunade clenched her fists.
"He's not holding back… he's trying to kill us."
---
"Finished chatting?"
Isamu's voice echoed from above.
They looked up.
There he was—floating within the massive Susanoo, arms crossed, looking down on them like a god.
"When did that thing appear…?"
"What kind of power is this…?"
"This… this is Susanoo… recorded in Grandfather's notes…" Tsunade's voice trembled.
The three exchanged a glance.
Then—
They bit their fingers.
"Summoning Technique!"
POOF!
POOF!
POOF!
Three massive creatures appeared.
A giant snake.
A massive toad.
And a calm, soft-spoken slug.
"Orochimaru… are you trying to get me killed?" the snake growled.
"Jiraiya! Why'd you summon me? I was sleeping!" the toad complained.
They turned—
And locked eyes.
"…You again, you filthy toad!"
"That's my line, you disgusting snake!"
"I'll eat you in one bite!"
"Try it and I'll turn you into a wallet!"
The battlefield paused for a split second… as Manda and Gamabunta immediately began arguing like sworn enemies.
Meanwhile—
"Katsuyu," Tsunade called softly.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade," the slug replied gently.
Seeing this, both Jiraiya and Orochimaru twitched.
Same summoning…
Completely different attitude.
Unfair.
