In the biting wind a hundred meters above the battlefield, a black Susanoo, clad in Tengu armor and rippling with muscle, gazed indifferently down at the tens of thousands of shinobi from the Allied Shinobi Forces below.
Inside the Susanoo, Uchiha Dan slowly raised his muscular arms, crossed them in front of his chest, and tensed every muscle in his body.
The next second.
Eight Gates, open!
Boom.
A tremendous surge of chakra burst forth from within him, breaking through the pressure points in his body and shooting skyward.
Dan’s body quickly began to emit blue steam from his evaporating sweat.
He opened the Eight Gates to the seventh gate, the Gate of Wonder.
Simultaneously, his Stand “The World” reappeared, overlaying Dan’s body, further amplifying his strength.
Influenced by Dan’s own power, the muscular Susanoo let out a deafening roar. Its colossal body swelled to a towering thirty meters, its form coursing with inky black energy.
Then.
In the frightened gazes of the Allied Shinobi Forces on the ground, the muscular Susanoo raised its gigantic arm and punched down at the earth.
This punch was so slow it seemed like even a granny could dodge it. But precisely this slowness allowed it to gather momentum and power to the absolute limit.
Buzz.
Ripples spread from the center of Susanoo’s fist, the surrounding space warping, the very heavens and earth reacting to the force of the blow.
This was Dan’s ultimate technique—Serious Punch.
Before the punch even landed, a suffocating pressure descended from the sky, as if the entire sky was collapsing, pressing down on the tens of thousands of shinobi.
“Run!”
Realizing the imminent threat, the shinobi scattered in panic, trying to flee in every direction.
At that moment.
Za Warudo!
After a long while, Dan activated his Stand “The World” ability, pressing the pause button on the entire world’s time.
Buzz.
The power of time-stop spread at superluminal speed throughout the Shinobi World, rendering everything in grayscale, motionless—everything except Dan.
Only the muscular Susanoo moved in the frozen world, its fist inching forward.
One second, two seconds… five seconds, six seconds… nine seconds!
For a full nine seconds, the punch’s energy built to its peak, like a dormant volcano erupting violently.
This was Dan’s strongest attack to date, combining Eight Gates, Stand power, Yang Release strength, Susanoo, and Sage Mode.
All that power was channeled into this single punch.
As time resumed.
Whoosh.
The muscular Susanoo’s fist detached like a missile, dropping a hundred meters instantly to strike the battlefield’s center.
Boom!!!
A blinding black light exploded from the center, like an expanding black hole, devouring everything around it.
At that moment, the intense light blinded everyone on the battlefield, accompanied only by the deafening roar of the explosion.
The massive energy rivaled a nuclear blast with blinding flashes and an immense mushroom cloud rising skyward.
The mushroom cloud consumed tens of thousands of shinobi before they could even react.
Then.
Terrifying shockwaves and wind pressure spread, engulfing the entire battlefield, and blowing shinobi into the air, their bodies shredded to pieces.
Even those watching from a distance were affected by the force.
“Naruto, look out!”
Konan saw the rising black mushroom cloud from the mountaintop and paled, warning Naruto.
No sooner had she spoken.
Whoosh!
The shockwave arrived, uprooting trees, causing the ground to ripple like water, and cracking open.
Naruto, Kakuzu, and Konan all retreated rapidly, escaping the shockwave’s lethal range by a hundred meters.
Elsewhere, Orochimaru’s group and Jiraiya were similarly battered.
Whoosh.
Faced with the oncoming gale, Kabuto was blown off his feet, tumbling dozens of times before slamming into a tree.
Black Zetsu burrowed underground to escape the worst.
“Hngh!” Kisame anchored himself by driving his sword Samehada into the ground, resisting the wind.
Orochimaru wrapped his elongated neck around a tree to avoid being blown away.
Meanwhile.
Jiraiya formed hand seals rapidly, erecting a tall earth wall in front of him to block the wind.
Everyone was struggling.
Eventually.
As the gale subsided and the blinding light faded, everything finally settled.
Konan was the first to look back at the battlefield, her eyes widening in shock.
What she saw was…
The once-level battlefield now bore a massive crater that was two kilometers in diameter and a hundred meters deep, as if struck by a meteor.
Around the crater, the Allied Shinobi Forces lay scattered, groaning in pain.
They were the lucky ones, at least alive.
Counting roughly, the Allied Forces had lost over thirty thousand men, and vanished into the crater without a trace.
In other words.
Uchiha Dan had killed thirty thousand shinobi with a single punch.
“Naruto, are you alright?”
Konan turned to find Naruto trembling, his teeth chattering, and his legs nearly giving out.
Had she not steadied him, he would have fallen.
“Konan-sensei, I…”
Naruto started but couldn’t finish, his face full of fear.
He was, after all, just a seven-year-old child. Seeing Dan’s devastating power, knowing this was his enemy, filled him with deep dread.
Konan, understanding his fear, gently patted his shoulder in silent reassurance.
She could empathize with his terror.
Orochimaru’s group was equally terrified.
In their eyes.
Earlier, Uchiha Dan, whether summoning lightning and fire to kill thousands or easily defeating three Kage and two jinchūriki, had already displayed immense power, though still within their understanding.
They had to admit.
This man represented the pinnacle of shinobi prowess, perhaps even comparable to legends like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
But Dan’s Susanoo punch had shattered their perception.
This was no human strength.
It was divine!
“Orochimaru-sama, should we start the Edo Tensei? Perhaps only Madara Uchiha can…” Kabuto suggested, his voice trembling.
Before Orochimaru could respond, Black Zetsu emerged, urgently stopping him.
“Stop, don’t revive Madara Uchiha!”
Black Zetsu had been confident in Madara’s power, believing even his Edo Tensei form could dominate the shinobi world.
But now, it worried Madara might not be a match for Dan.
If anything went wrong like Dan defeating and sealing Madara, Black Zetsu’s millennia-old plans would be ruined.
Meanwhile.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Jiraiya pulled out a blank scroll, scribbling down information.
Then, he formed seals, summoning a small toad and stuffing the scroll into its belly.
Poof!
The toad vanished in a puff of smoke, delivering the message to Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others in Konoha.
In his message, Jiraiya urged Hiruzen to abandon the plan to retake Konoha, deeming it meaningless.
After all.
Even if they retook Konoha while Danzo was away, how would they face the invincible Uchiha Dan?
He alone could wipe out their efforts by attacking Konoha.
On the battlefield.
Whoosh.
Dan dispelled his Susanoo, landing on the ground.
The punch had been exhilarating but drained his chakra. Even Dan needed a breather.
However, the enemy was already defeated, and his allies were ready to move.
Rumble.
A powerful tremor from afar heralded the arrival of reinforcements.
Seconds later.
A massive steel fortress erupted from the ground, disgorging figures in blue robes like dumplings onto the battlefield.
The Uchiha clan had finally mobilized.
“Kill!”
With Fugaku’s command, over a hundred Uchiha shinobi charged at the Allied Forces like a bloodthirsty pack.
The Allied Shinobi Forces.
First, a thousand fell to lightning and fire. Then, hundreds more to Dan’s Sage Art: Dojo. Finally, over thirty thousand perished in Dan’s single punch.
Half their forces remained.
But these fifty thousand were demoralized and injured, with only a fraction still able to fight.
Their opponents, the Uchiha, were monsters capable of fighting hundreds, even thousands.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Six Uchiha with Mangekyō Sharingan led the charge into the enemy ranks.
At this moment, Fugaku, Itachi, Tekka, Chisueko, Edo Tensei Shisui, and the newly awakened Izumi, all summoned their Susanoo.
Six Susanoo, each with unique forms and colors, wielded weapons like giant swords, chains, and shields, piercing the heart of the Allied Forces.
Ripping through them.
Boom, boom, boom.
Enemies fell before the Susanoo swept away like trash.
Simultaneously.
Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, and Saiken also joined the battle.
They spewed fire, magma, and acid, or crushed enemies with their massive bodies, instilling deep despair in the Allied Forces.
Moreover.
Tobi reappeared, controlling Yamato’s body, transforming into a massive wooden golem, and unleashing five-element jutsu across the battlefield.
This was the Uchiha’s “mecha” strategy.
Eleven “mechas,” each more formidable than an army, broke through the Allied Forces head-on.
Ordinary Uchiha shinobi followed suit.
Buzz.
With blue lights flashing across the battlefield, they transformed using the Greil Stones, becoming wolves, bats, apes, and tigers, their power surging.
The Uchiha’s Sharingan and Wood Release jutsu reached their peak in these forms.
Kill!
The Uchiha clan swept the battlefield like a storm.
In less than ten minutes, they had slain ten thousand of the Allied Forces, suffering only a few casualties themselves.
It was a one-sided massacre.
The Uchiha slaughtered their enemies like pigs, ruthless and merciless.
“Are you kidding? These guys… are they really human?”
Many shinobi despaired, losing all will to fight, thinking only of escape.
This… how is this possible?
Danzo, the Fifth Hokage, watched in disbelief as the scene unfolded.
In his memory, when the Uchiha clan broke away from Konoha a year ago, they were nowhere near this powerful.
What had they experienced in the past year?
“Lord Hokage, we must leave now!”
Several ANBU rushed over, ready to escort Danzo away.
Snapping out of his daze, Danzo turned and fled in panic.
But he hadn’t gone far when his vision blurred.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Over a hundred Shisui clones appeared, surrounding Danzo and his guards, launching a fierce attack.
Instant Transmission.
Screams echoed as Danzo’s guards fell one by one, leaving him alone.
“Shisui?! You, you’re still alive…”
Danzo’s face filled with terror, panic, and despair reaching its peak.
At that moment.
“Danzo!”
A voice filled with murderous intent called from behind, making Danzo stiffen and turn to see an orange Susanoo.
Itachi’s piercing gaze locked onto Danzo as he advanced, his Susanoo raising its blazing Totsuka Blade.
He intended to seal Danzo in an eternal genjutsu, condemning his soul to endless torment.
“Wait.”
Danzo’s face turned ashen with fear, desperately shouting, “Stop, I surrender!”
But Itachi paid no heed, his resolve unwavering.
In desperation, Danzo’s eyes darted across the battlefield, landing on Dan in the distance, who watched with a smirk.
“!”
Grasping at straws, Danzo shouted at the top of his lungs:
“Uchiha Dan, you’ve won, the Uchiha have won! As the Fifth Hokage, I surrender on behalf of Konoha! Please… stop this!”
In his desperation, Danzo’s voice carried across the battlefield, heard by both Uchiha and the Allied Forces.
The fighting paused.
For a moment, countless eyes turned towards him.
