Size—was the most direct indicator of power. Such a massive entity—inspired a profound sense of helplessness.

Fugaku reacted instantly. This was a battle between Susanoo!

Regardless of whether the opponent was Nagato Uzumaki or "Uchiha Madara," as the current head of the Uchiha clan, and Gojo Kaigetsu's close friend, he had to personally apprehend this Uchiha specter haunting the Shinobi World!

"I, Fugaku Uchiha, have never been weaker to anyone!"

"Susanoo—Release!" With a roar, Fugaku unleashed his Dōjutsu, holding nothing back.

The silver Susanoo also manifested sinews and flesh, then donned thick Tengu armor.

Yata Mirror in its left hand, Totsuka Blade in its right!

Terrifying chakra erupted.

Facing the silver Susanoo, Pain's eyes remained cold, devoid of emotion.

"Is this—the extent of your power?"

"Little ants—Now, behold a God!"

Nagato's expression twisted further. He began to recklessly pour out chakra. His red hair, already lifeless, turned even paler. His flesh seemed to wither further.

As this chakra flowed into Pain...

The deep blue Susanoo sprouted legs, its form growing even larger, Tengu armor and four light-sabers materializing. Pain, enveloped by the Susanoo's power, ascended into the sky.

Indeed, the silver Susanoo was a giant. But compared to Nagato's Fourth-form Susanoo, it was like a child facing an adult.

A firefly to the moon...

Even a single light-saber wielded by the blue Susanoo seemed more impactful than the silver Susanoo's Totsuka Blade.

Fugaku's eyes showed no fear. The weak preyed on the weaker—the strong challenged the stronger!

Since acquiring this powerful Susanoo, he, Fugaku, hadn't yet fought at full strength. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

A Susanoo wielding the Yata Mirror and Totsuka Blade, imbued with the Will of Fire—was no match for this self-proclaimed god!

Minato quickly assigned targets. "Lord Fugaku, leave the other five puppets to me! You handle this behemoth!"

"Then I leave it to you, Fourth Hokage!" Fugaku nodded solemnly.

A battle between giants—was beyond his, the Hokage's, ability to participate.

Mainly—Minato lacked the means to pierce its defenses.

The Rasengan was devastating against human targets. Even the Fourth Raikage, renowned as the strongest taijutsu user in the Shinobi World, wouldn't dare face a Rasengan head-on.

But against colossal beings, the Rasengan's effectiveness was limited. Especially this fourth-form Susanoo, which seemed even larger than a Tailed Beast, and with its thick armor—It would likely require dozens, even hundreds, of Rasengan to inflict significant damage.

But the current Minato wasn't Edo Tensei Minato, nor was he Nine-Tails Chakra Mode Minato.

His chakra reserves couldn't sustain such a barrage.

Dealing with colossal beings—was best left to Hokage like the First and Third.

Everyone had their strengths and weaknesses. No point in arguing. Since he wasn't suited for fighting giants, he would deal with the humanoid puppets!

Even so, Minato still tossed a Flying Thunder God Kunai to Fugaku.

A single glance, and they understood each other—If Fugaku could get the kunai into the Susanoo's "cockpit," Minato could teleport inside and assassinate Pain!

Taking a deep breath, Minato focused on the other five puppets.

The Naraka Path stood at the rear, having summoned the King of Hell, ready to provide support. The Asura Path had already deployed its weaponry, cannons and blades aimed at Minato.

The Animal Path clapped its hands, summoning numerous beasts, the most prominent being Satori, which spread its wings and charged towards Minato.

The Human Path and Preta Path flickered, rushing towards Minato. If they touched his head, they could continuously drain his chakra, incapacitating him.

Without hesitation, Minato launched a Flying Thunder God Kunai, vanishing from his original position.

Simultaneously, the two Susanoo clashed violently amidst the forest ruins, cleared by Shinra Tensei.

BOOM—!

The deafening roar shook the earth, the shockwave oppressing the surrounding space, making the entire forest tremble.

Four light-sabers struck the Yata Mirror. The moment they connected, a massive shockwave erupted, creating ripples like mountain ranges, the sound of the collision deafening.

The battle instantly escalated to a fever pitch.

Black Zetsu, lurking in the distance, watched with excitement as the two colossal Susanoo clashed, a bloodthirsty smile on his face, his body trembling.

To witness this battle, the final steps before his mother's revival—it was worth dying for!

"The Nine-Tails—is mine~"

Under the onslaught of the two Susanoo, the layered hills and towering ancient trees surrounding the Falls of Truth were pulverized.

Flying debris, accompanied by swirling dust and the whistling sound of light-sabers tearing through space, scattered in all directions, striking the cratered ground and the ancient ruins, creating a barrage of impacts.

Flocks of crows, startled, circled in the night sky, their mournful cries adding an epic filter to this earth-shattering battle.

Chakra surged, disrupting the clouds. Gradually, a light rain began to fall.

Wind and rain...

A curtain of rain enveloped the land. The two Susanoo battled amidst the mist.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder echoed through the sky. Then, a torrential downpour, accompanied by ferocious lightning!

The Land of Lightning's weather, like a woman's mood, changed in an instant. Lightning struck relentlessly, punishing the creatures below. The atmosphere around the Falls of Truth grew increasingly oppressive, suffocating.

Fugaku Uchiha bore the brunt of this pressure.

Initially, leveraging the advantage of his ancestral divine weapons, Fugaku could fight on par with Pain.

Gradually, however, Fugaku's laughter ceased.

The Yata Mirror, true to its divine nature, remained intact despite the frenzied assault of the four light-sabers. But the Susanoo's body—was beginning to falter.

The violent impacts had created a seven or eight-meter deep crater where Fugaku stood. With a heavy blow from the blue Susanoo, cracks spread outwards from the crater's edge, like a spiderweb, covering the entire area.

Finally, the earth, unable to bear the strain, let out a mournful cry and shattered, sending debris flying.

Simultaneously, the blue Susanoo, wielding its four light-sabers at full power, struck the Yata Mirror.

Under the immense recoil, the silver Susanoo was sent flying, its massive body crashing to the ground, carving deep furrows, flattening another dense section of forest.

"Pffft—" Fugaku coughed up blood, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.

With this, the massive silver Susanoo faltered, showing signs of regression.

"Strong as a monster—Even at full strength, I cannot resist."

Such a disheartening thought flickered in Fugaku's mind for only an instant before he cast it aside, his gaze hardening with renewed determination.

"Until Lady Tsunade relays the message, if I fail to defend the Falls of Truth, I am a dead man! A traitor to Konoha, on par with Uchiha Madara! After Lady Tsunade announces the news, even if I die a second later, I will still be Konoha's greatest hero!"

"Hold! Hold!"

"Even if I can't hold, I must hold!"

Fugaku roared, recklessly channeling his Dōjutsu. Even if it meant losing his sight forever after this battle, he would protect the Falls of Truth!

Tears of blood gushed from his eyes. The ethereal silver Susanoo solidified once more.

The Susanoo wielded by Pain was Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo. Even with controlled Dōjutsu output, its chakra quality was only—a reduction in quantity.

Evolving to the perfect form was a qualitative change!

Even its previous forms were stronger than average Susanoo.

Size, speed, power—absolute domination!
