Boom!!
A few seconds later, the moment Susanoo materialized, a suffocating aura swept across the battlefield, filling the entire area with oppressive energy.
Even though Shisui Uchiha's current strength and his Mangekyō Sharingan did not allow him to summon a fully-formed Susanoo, the power it exuded was still astonishing.
"Is this... the legendary Susanoo, said to rival the power of the gods?"
Faced with the towering green giant, the watching shinobi wore expressions of sheer terror.
Most had never even seen a Mangekyō Sharingan, let alone the manifestation of Susanoo. They had only heard about it in myths and legends. Now, seeing Shisui Uchiha summon it so casually sent shivers down their spines.
"Mangekyō Sharingan..."
Kakashi Hatake's lone eye flickered with a strange emotion beneath his mask.
But soon, sorrow overtook his features again.
Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha were gone. Even if he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, what would be the point?

The Watching Shinobi
"Looks like this fight is about to end..."
"Yeah. Forcing Shisui Uchiha to use the Mangekyō Sharingan is already an achievement. Uchiha Yuta is strong, but this is the limit."
"At least we got to witness the legendary Susanoo."
"Uchiha Yuta has wasted his potential. Why focus on taijutsu when the Sharingan is far more powerful?"
The moment Shisui activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, the opinions of the watching shinobi became overwhelmingly one-sided. Most believed the assessment was as good as over.

In the Hokage's Office
Meanwhile, inside the Hokage's office, the instant Shisui awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, the Third Hokage—Hiruzen Sarutobi—and Danzo Shimura both frowned.
Shisui had already informed them about the ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan: Kotoamatsukami, an illusion capable of permanently altering a person's will.
Danzo's eyes darkened as he gritted his teeth. "This ability is too dangerous. It must be controlled by Konoha."
Hiruzen took a deep drag from his pipe, his expression unreadable. "Shisui is loyal to Konoha. You will not touch him. If I hear otherwise, there will be consequences."
Danzo clenched his fists but said nothing. His eyes, however, remained locked onto the image of Shisui displayed in the crystal ball, his thoughts filled with greed—not for Shisui himself, but for his eyes.
As for Uchiha Yuta, Danzo had already dismissed him as irrelevant.

The Battle Continues
On the Hokage Monument, the moment Shisui activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, Yuta immediately heightened his Observation Haki to its limit.
Kotoamatsukami—the most powerful genjutsu—was not something he could afford to underestimate.
If anything seemed off, he was prepared to go all out instantly.
"Yuta, your taijutsu is impressive, but do you really think it can match my Susanoo?"
Controlling the towering green warrior, Shisui's expression was cold. "Your strength is enough to pass the jōnin assessment, but taijutsu alone will never be enough to reach true power. Only by transcending the physical and evolving spiritually can one achieve true greatness."
Yuta shook his head. "Is it really worth it? There are consequences to using the Mangekyō Sharingan. Just to test me, you've activated it and pushed your Susanoo to the fourth stage. You're only harming yourself."
Shisui's eyes gleamed with conviction. "It's worth it! Where the leaves dance, the fire burns eternally! I will show you that your so-called pursuit is meaningless. Only the Will of Fire is the true path for the Uchiha."
Yuta sighed. "You're beyond saving."
It was clear that Shisui had been completely brainwashed by the Will of Fire. He truly believed he could lead the Uchiha out of their predicament and create peace between the clan and the village.
In reality, he was nothing more than a pawn to Konoha's higher-ups—useful while he had value, disposable the moment he became a liability.
"Come, I'll prove to you that your taijutsu is worthless."
With that, Shisui controlled his Susanoo, clenching its massive fists.
The air vibrated with raw power. Though the green giant remained motionless, the energy radiating from its fists carried unimaginable destructive force. The sheer size of Susanoo made it appear like a mountain standing before Yuta.
"Fine."
Yuta didn't waste any more words. He activated his Armament Haki, jet-black energy coating his fists.

The Clash
Whoosh!!
With a burst of speed, Yuta disappeared from view, launching himself toward Shisui.
"Perfect timing..."
Seeing Yuta's aggressive approach, Shisui remained unfazed, commanding his Susanoo to hurl a devastating punch.
Boom!!
A few seconds later, Yuta's small, hardened fist and the massive fist of Susanoo collided violently.
