A gentle breeze swept across the battlefield, dispersing the lingering smoke.
Under the gaze of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Dan had undergone a metamorphosis, tempered by the trial of heavenly lightning and earthly fire.
The ten thousand enemy ninjas who perished under the elemental onslaught were sacrifices offered to the natural forces, granting Dan the power of Sage Mode.
With a serene demeanor, Dan began to walk toward the Allied Shinobi Forces.
His tall, robust figure moved with an ethereal grace, exuding an otherworldly aura, resembling a deity descending to the mortal realm.
But to the Allied Shinobi Forces, this appearance of Uchiha Dan was that of a demon clad in a sage’s guise.
Despite their overwhelming numbers, many felt an instinctive fear as Dan approached, causing them to retreat subconsciously.
Suddenly.
Whoosh.
Dan leaped into the air and landed amidst the crowd, raising a massive fist and slamming it into the ground.
Boom! The ground quaked.
The immense Sage Chakra poured from Dan’s fist into the earth, radiating out like seismic waves in all directions.
In the next moment.
Crack! Crack!
Four fissures spread out from Dan’s fist, each extending rapidly toward the cardinal points, reaching hundreds of meters away.
Boom!
As the fissures extended, tremendous energy erupted from the ground like a volcanic explosion, blasting hundreds of Allied ninjas into the air, killing them instantly.
Others, unable to evade in time, fell screaming into the fissures, swallowed by the earth.
Is this really… the power of a human?
Witnessing this scene, many in the Allied Forces were terrified, retreating in panic, their fighting spirit broken.
This was the power of Sage Mode.
But Dan seemed dissatisfied, frowning at the low efficiency.
After all, there were still ninety thousand enemies left. How long would killing them all one punch at a time take?
After a moment of contemplation, he decided to use a long-unused technique—
Yin Release Field.
This jutsu released Yin Release chakra into the air around him, directly attacking the bodies and minds of nearby enemies.
Dan had once used this technique to render thousands of Konoha villagers unconscious. Unless the enemy was at the level of a Jōnin, they would struggle to resist the erosion of the Yin Release Field.
Now, in Sage Mode, Dan combined his Yin Release power with natural energy, creating an even more advanced Sage Chakra.
The power of the field technique thus reached a new level.
Whoosh.
Dan spread his arms as if to embrace the world.
A dense, dark aura surged from his body, spreading rapidly and enveloping the surrounding hundred meters of Allied ninja.
“What is this?”
Many looked in horror at the dark aura around them. Before they could react, they were hit by its effects and experienced various symptoms.
Thud!
Some felt as though an invisible mountain pressed down on their shoulders, dropping to their knees, unable to lift their heads.
Others shuddered, their gazes becoming vacant, then fell backward, lifeless.
Some became dizzy and hallucinated, mistaking their comrades for enemies, leading to frenzied attacks among themselves.
Over a thousand fell into chaos, like a dance of demons.
Even Jōnin could only resist for a few seconds before succumbing to the dark aura.
Around Dan, it was as if an invisible barrier had appeared.
Anyone within this barrier had their mind and body controlled by him, at his mercy, manipulated like puppets.
Dan named this new technique—
Sage Art: Domain of Darkness.
Whoosh.
Dan flashed to another part of the battlefield, and the domain followed him, enveloping another thousand enemies.
In no time, people fell like harvested wheat, collapsing in droves.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for Dan’s Sage Art: Domain of Darkness to incapacitate the remaining ninety thousand Allied shinobi.
“We can’t sit idly by any longer! Everyone, attack!”
Ōnoki shouted, decisively taking to the sky and charging toward Dan.
The other Kage exchanged glances and followed, deciding to take down Uchiha Dan jointly.
Dan was in the midst of the Iwa-nin ranks, slaughtering them.
Boom!
A tall, burly figure suddenly rushed into his domain barrier.
The person stood at two meters three, even taller than Dan, wearing a special red steam armor that emitted copious amounts of white steam as he ran, resembling a high-speed train.
It was Han, the Five-Tails jinchūriki of Iwa, known as the Steam Ninja.
His calm demeanor suggested he was unaffected by the domain, showcasing his formidable willpower.
At that moment.
Han unleashed steam from his entire body, elevating his chakra to the boiling point, and launched a powerful kick at Dan.
Boil Release: Unrivaled Strength.
As one of the strongest jinchūriki, Han’s strength was among the top five in the ninja world, rivaling the Fourth Raikage and Tsunade.
However.
Han knew he couldn’t defeat Dan alone. His goal was to stall Dan, buying time for his comrades and waiting for the other Kage to arrive.
Bang.
Han’s kick landed solidly on Dan’s chest, with Dan making no effort to dodge.
That’s because Dan didn’t need to dodge.
His body, tempered by heavenly lightning and earthly fire, combined with Sage Mode, had a defense stronger than even the third form of Susanoo.
“What?!”
Han’s eyes widened in shock. He expected his kick to send Dan flying, but Dan stood firm like a mountain, unmoved.
The immense recoil from his kick traveled up his leg, leaving Han’s entire body numb.
Then.
As Han’s face twisted in disbelief, Dan grinned and stepped forward, gripping Han’s neck with one large hand.
He then lifted Han and slammed him into the ground.
Boom!
Han’s head hit the ground first, creating a massive crater with cracks spreading out like a spiderweb.
“Ugh.”
Blood spurted from Han’s mouth, his eyes and nose also bleeding. His limbs twitched a few times before he lay motionless.
A jinchūriki, defeated in an instant, near death.
Hmm?
Just as Dan finished dealing with Han, he felt a strong pull on his body.
He looked up to see three white puppets forming a triangular formation in the distance, generating a fierce tornado that enveloped him.
Three Treasures Suction Crushing.
This was Wind Kage Chiyo’s puppet technique. Her ten fingers controlled ten puppets, masterpieces of the puppet master Monzaemon—
The Ten Chikamatsu Collection.
When coordinated, these puppets had power comparable to Sasori’s Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets.
Seeing Dan’s body immobilized by the Three Treasures Suction Crushing.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Under Chiyo’s precise control, the remaining seven puppets launched various weapons and ninjutsu, charging toward Dan.
At the same time.
Ōnoki appeared silently in the air, aiming his hands at Dan on the ground, generating a translucent cube in his palms.
“This time, I’ll turn you to dust, Uchiha Dan…”
He murmured, his gaze sharp and resolute.
As danger loomed, Dan remained calm and composed.
Buzz.
The Stand “The World” manifested behind him, separating from his body and charging toward the Ten Chikamatsu Collection.
Meanwhile, Dan’s eyes focused on Ōnoki.
In the next instant.
Whoosh.
Dan activated Tenchi Kaime, teleporting into the air and appearing behind Ōnoki.
Damn.
Ōnoki was shocked, unable to turn in time, feeling a tremendous force from behind. His vision darkened as he was sent flying like a cannonball.
Dan’s punch sent Ōnoki flying across the battlefield, crashing into a forest kilometers away, his fate unknown.
On the ground.
Dan’s Stand, “The World,” unaffected by the Three Treasures Suction Crushing or ordinary ninjutsu, pummeled the Ten Chikamatsu Collection.
Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!
Its fists moved like high-speed pile drivers, raining countless blows on the puppets.
Crack! Crack!
In moments, the puppets were smashed to pieces by “The World,” and Chiyo herself was sent flying, spitting blood.
Whoosh.
Dan descended to the ground, reuniting with his Stand.
At that moment.
Danzo, who had been biding his time, suddenly formed seals and attacked.
With a palm strike to the ground.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Countless wooden tendrils emerged from the ground beneath Dan, binding him.
It had to be said, that Danzo was the weakest among the Kage.
Lacking any noteworthy abilities to threaten Dan, he could only resort to stalling tactics.
The Allied Shinobi Forces’ hope of defeating Uchiha Dan ultimately rested on the duo from Kumo, A and B.
Seizing the moment when Danzo temporarily immobilized Dan.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Two figures, one blue, and one red, attacked Dan at lightning speed.
It was the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails jinchūriki, Killer Bee.
Both were fighting at full power in their Lightning Release Chakra Mode and partial Tailed Beast transformations.
Their attack forms were identical. Each raised a right arm, channeled chakra into it, and aimed for Dan’s neck.
Double Lariat.
In Kumo, this secret taijutsu was a synchronized attack, requiring the A-B combo to decapitate the enemy with equal force.
Even with his Sage-enhanced body, Dan’s neck remained weak, vulnerable to their combined attack.
In less than a second.
The A-B combo reached Dan, their arms poised to strike his neck.
Success.
Seeing Dan unable to dodge, A and Killer Bee’s faces lit up with triumph, but their joy was short-lived.
Boom!
Their arms collided with each other, each experiencing a jolt of pain that caused them to inhale sharply.
Instead of severing Dan’s head, their attack had passed right through his neck, as if he were a mere illusion.
“Kamui is really handy.”
Dan mused aloud, a slight smile playing on his lips. He then re-materialized and effortlessly broke free from the wooden bindings.
Bang, bang!
Two heavy punches landed on A and Killer Bee, sending them flying like ragdolls, following Ōnoki’s path into the forest, where they crashed among the trees.
In less than a minute, Dan had neutralized three Kage and two jinchūriki, a display of overwhelming power that left the battlefield stunned.
Finally, Dan’s gaze shifted to the remaining Kage, the Fifth Hokage, Danzo.
Thump, thump, thump.
Danzo instinctively took several steps back, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. His entire body trembled, and the Sharingan in his right eye socket was ready to activate Izanagi immediately.
But, to everyone’s surprise, Dan merely smiled at Danzo and turned away, sparing him.
After all, to Dan, Danzo was nothing more than a pawn, much like Obito had been. Until he was no longer useful, there was no need to eliminate him.
Turning his attention back to the Allied Shinobi Forces, Dan saw a sea of shinobi, their numbers still overwhelming despite his efforts.
It was time to end this quickly.
With that thought, Dan’s body began to emanate a substantial amount of chakra, forming into a skeletal frame, which quickly became enveloped in flesh and armor, creating an imposing figure with a pair of massive fists.
Susanoo.
Dan’s Susanoo was unique, pitch black, and muscular. It mirrored his own physique, complete with the same broad shoulders, chest, and powerful limbs. It was the perfect embodiment of his physical prowess.
More importantly, this Susanoo was imbued with Sage Chakra, enhancing its already formidable power to an unprecedented level.
Seeing Dan summon his Susanoo, the Allied Shinobi Forces felt a collective surge of dread.
“Fight him!” someone yelled, rallying the troops for a final, desperate assault.
Thousands of shinobi unleashed a barrage of Jutsu with renewed determination, creating a dazzling display of ninjutsu aimed at Dan.
Now, Dan observed the oncoming attacks within his Susanoo with a calm, unflinching gaze. He crouched slightly before launching himself skyward.
Boom.
His leap propelled him and his Susanoo hundreds of meters into the air, evading the incoming ninjutsu and giving him a clear view of the battlefield below.
From this vantage point, Dan could see every enemy shinobi spread across the land.
“Let’s begin,” he murmured, his voice filled with resolve. Today, he would make the world feel pain.
