Chapter 19: ch19
"Disperse, disperse all of you!"
"Young ones, in a battle of this scale, are you trying to get yourselves killed by staying so close?"
"Get out of here, at least two hundred meters away!"
The elders of the Uchiha clan shouted, urging the clan members who wanted to watch the duel from up close to step back.
The younger generation of Uchiha were especially curious about the legendary power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Meanwhile, the elders who had lived through the era of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama skillfully moved away from the battlefield's center.
They wished the area were larger so they could retreat even further, as there was still a risk of being accidentally injured even at two hundred meters.
Before long, the Uchiha had cleared the field, leaving only Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita.
"Let's begin," Nan declared.
As he spoke, the purple Susanoo phantom around him gradually solidified, starting with the arms, ribs, and torso, forming a massive half-body skeleton that enveloped him.
As Nan continued to exert his power, flesh and blood wrapped around the skeleton, and its height reached over 50 meters.
"Keep going!"
Nan shouted, feeling the Mangekyō Sharingan's potential wasn't fully tapped.
After a while, the flesh and blood were covered by armor, and the height soared to over 70 meters.
It seemed to have reached its limit.
Nan felt a dull pain in his eyes.
The limit of the Mangekyō Sharingan was here. Uchiha Madara's Susanoo was over 100 meters tall, with a crystal-like complete form. It seemed only the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan could summon it.
But this should be enough to deal with Tomita.
Nan waved his hand, and a dark yellow ninja sword appeared in Susanoo's hand, forged from magma. This was the power of Lava Release.
Nan's combat power was fully formed!
"I never expected to witness such power in my lifetime."
"God bless Uchiha!"
"Who in Konoha can resist the Uchiha now?"
"Hahaha!"
The massive purple Susanoo stood there, and even from 200 meters away, its powerful chakra made hearts race.
This was not a power humans could wield.
It was the power of a god!
The Uchiha elders watching were once again ecstatic, tears in their eyes as they shouted with excitement.
The younger generation of Uchiha stared at Nan's Susanoo, their eyes filled with awe, envy, and desire!
Which young person doesn't dream of piloting a Gundam!
Tomita looked at the towering giant that appeared in mere moments before him, feeling utterly insignificant.
He regretted agreeing to fight Nan.
Fight this kind of monster?
Are you kidding!
Standing at its feet, Tomita could hardly see Nan even when looking up. All he saw was Susanoo's powerful form.
"Are you ready, Tomita?"
Nan looked down at Tomita, who seemed as small as an ant. No wonder Madara only saw Hashirama as a worthy opponent. With such power, who cared about the thoughts of ordinary people?
Wouldn't it be better to surrender obediently?
However, Nan still asked Tomita politely if he was ready for the duel.
"It can begin."
Tomita replied stiffly, gripping his ninja sword with both hands, sweat trickling from his palms.
With a yell, Tomita charged at Susanoo, striking it with his sword.
"Clang!"
The sword, which had seen countless battles, chipped, but Nan's Susanoo remained unscathed.
What incredible defense!
Tomita looked at his sword with dismay. Made from top-grade iron and rare ores that could conduct chakra, it couldn't even scratch Nan's defense.
"It's a bit itchy!"
Nan felt no pain, just a slight itch.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Tomita quickly formed seals, gathering chakra in his mouth, and unleashed a sea of fire toward Nan.
This move was quite interesting!
Nan smiled, acknowledging Tomita's strength. Without three to five senior ninjas performing Water Style, this sea of fire couldn't be stopped and would consume everything.
However, all this was insufficient before Nan.
Nan swung his sword, dispersing the flames instantly. The powerful attack soared skyward, clearing clouds and creating a huge hole in the sky.
Simultaneously, all of Konoha was alerted as the large defensive barrier around the village was destroyed by Nan's attack.
"Enemy attack?"
"The whole village, on alert!"
"Security squad, enforce martial law, evacuate villagers, and notify the various families in Konoha."
"I'll find Lady Uzumaki Mito!"
The head of Konoha's Anbu roared orders. The enemy had reached their doorstep?
Konoha's defensive barrier was breached!
Chaos erupted in Konoha as villagers were urgently evacuated, fleeing into the village's special underground passages as planned.
Meanwhile, Nan remained oblivious, still engrossed in his duel with Tomita.
"So strong!"
"You can't win."
Tomita looked up at the sky in horror. Was this really a human attack?
The Great Fire Annihilation, his most powerful Fire Release, was effortlessly nullified by Nan.
His attacks were utterly ineffective against Nan's defense. Even standing motionless, Nan seemed invulnerable.
"Lord Uchiha Nan, I surrender!"
Tomita conceded. Continuing the fight was pointless. Defeating Nan would require sacrificing his life.
Constantly using ninjutsu, barrier seals, and gradually wearing down Nan's chakra and eye power might offer a chance of victory.
Lord Uchiha Nan, please show mercy!
Hearing Tomita's surrender, Nan felt somewhat dissatisfied. Surrender so soon? He hadn't had enough fun yet.
But Nan dismissed Susanoo, ready to savor his victory.
Having lifted Susanoo, Nan felt his body drained, unable to exert strength. Using power far beyond his limits came at a cost.
With the Mangekyō Sharingan newly awakened, mastering Susanoo's power required familiarization. Forcing its use risked blindness.
However, Nan didn't mind. These were experience coupons, and the spectacle was worth it.
Now the entire Uchiha would respect him like a god!
