[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV
Northern kingdoms.

"O que eles estão fazendo?" Renzoku murmured upon seeing the clones of that man begin to glow with pure blue energy.
"How... How much chakra does this guy have?!" Renzoku heard Kenzu whisper in the distance while he, too, was fighting against four wooden clones that were starting to release the Susano'o.
"Damn... Is Akuro dead?!" Daigo asked from another side, his brow furrowed, missing one arm.
No one could answer Daigo's question because, in the next moment, all 16 clones began exploding with energy, growing before all four of them, who were still wondering what the Susano'o that the Uchiha mentioned was.
The four clones surrounding each shinobi started forming a strange solid structure, with bones beginning to emerge around them. Gradually, the skeletal structure took shape. They didn't know what that thing was, leaving them even more stunned as they questioned how something so powerful, made purely of chakra, could exist—a power far beyond all of them.
The initial skeletons formed their outer shells and soon began expanding, gaining flesh and growing even larger, until they developed massive legs as they continued to grow. It didn't take long for four 20-meter-tall giants to appear, one for each shinobi, who stared at the creatures with furrowed brows, unable to believe what they were seeing amidst the charred forest.
"What are those things?" the leader murmured, stepping back.
All the shinobi swallowed hard, their faces filled with fear as they watched the 20-meter-tall creatures, each housing one of the clones inside them, advancing without warning. The ground trembled with each step they took, while tree roots were crushed beneath their feet. Slowly, they approached, their hands opening. Each began forming a sword of blue energy, making it clear that they were there to corner and eliminate their enemies.
Amid the forest and its flames, anyone looking toward that place could see the 20-meter giants dominating the scene among the trees. Due to their massive size, they were visible to any eyes fixed on them.
Soldiers from both armies had stopped thinking about fighting their enemies and were fleeing as fast as they could. The war was already over at that moment, turning into nothing more than an attempt to escape the chaos. No one fully understood what was happening.
"Your Majesty!" a soldier shouted, approaching King Thorne, who had just risen from the ground after falling moments ago, his gaze fixed on the forest.
The other men continued fleeing, rushing past him without stopping. The soldier who approached recognized him immediately and ran to assist.
"Are you all right, Your Majesty?" he asked, concerned.
"I am..." Thorne barely managed to respond. His attention was locked on the giants towering in the distance. He watched them hurl immense swords and create devastating explosions with the force of their impacts. They seemed to be fighting against something, but the king couldn't comprehend what it was. He only knew that Madara was at the center of it all, unleashing the chaos and turning the battle between two armies into something else entirely.
Elsewhere, the mages remained in the same spot, no longer fighting each other, their eyes fixed on the burning forest. Tissaia, Francesca, Yennefer, and other sorcerers from the North and South watched the scene with expressions of absolute shock. None of them could articulate a single word.
The war, which was supposed to decide the fate of the continent, had become something entirely different. Chaos reigned, and no one knew exactly what to think or what was happening. Only a few had a vague notion that Madara was at the center of it all, but no one imagined he was this powerful or how he could do such a thing.
The fight resumed in the middle of the forest: the Susano'o versus the shinobi. Madara allowed none of his enemies to escape. The giants' swords began striking at their adversaries, generating colossal explosions that destroyed entire areas with each movement. The shinobi barely managed to evade, while destruction consumed the battlefield. They struggled to counterattack, focusing instead on avoiding the attacks in a desperate bid to survive.
Kenzu was the first to fall. While trying to escape, he counterattacked, but his jutsus no longer worked against that giant. The flames he conjured with his Jutsu couldn't even affect the giants, unable to penetrate the blue energy surrounding them. It was at that moment, from within the flames, that a giant advanced, striking him squarely with its sword. He barely had time to scream before being crushed, ending the zombie's last heart and killing him.
"This is bad..." the leader murmured, attempting to cast jutsus. Tiago unleashed a powerful water jutsu attack, knocking one of the giants down with the force of the impact, but he couldn't do much against the blue energy. The giant only staggered, fell to the ground, and began to rise again as the others closed in, trying to strike him. That shinobi had to retreat quickly.
Elsewhere, giant snakes were being summoned as Renzoku launched his jutsus to try to escape. He ran, slithering like a snake through the branches of the forest, but the giant was quick. Spotting him, it crushed the area where he had been. Renzoku managed to survive thanks to a substitution jutsu, but it consumed a large amount of his energy. His reserves were already depleted after so many consecutive uses, and he couldn't last much longer.
Meanwhile, Daigo, with one arm severed, struggled to escape, but it was extremely difficult. Without one of his arms, his offensive capability was limited, and the giants were determined to kill him. Any explosive creations he tried to use against the giants had no effect.
At a distance, the original Madara watched everything with his arms crossed as he saw his clones, with their Susano'os, cornering all the shinobi. The regret of being in that situation was evident on the faces of the last three.
For him, the fight was no longer a challenge. He was merely testing the maximum power of his abilities. He knew it was only a matter of time before he defeated them completely. However, something kept him waiting before delivering the final blow. He glanced at the system timer—only two minutes remained—and felt his chakra depleting rapidly.
He shifted his attention away from the battle with the shinobi and leapt onto one of the tallest trees before jumping onto the head of one of the giants. From there, he observed the scene beyond the burning forest.
The soldiers of the North were fleeing and regrouping at the Sodden border. At the other end, the men of Nilfgaard were also trying to regroup in a secure position at the Cintra border. Madara watched this with a calculating look.
"It seems the time has come," he murmured.
Nilfgaard was not in a favorable position. They had started the war with 150,000 soldiers, but now, from what could be seen, only 80,000 had survived. Meanwhile, the North had lost only 5,000 to 10,000 men, which was frustrating for Nilfgaard. Their morale was at its lowest point, representing an unimaginable defeat that could take decades to recover from. Moreover, there was the imminent chance of losing control of the North and everything they had conquered. All of this because of that boy who had sparked the chaos when the war began.
The Nilfgaardian general clenched his fists in frustration as he observed the battlefield. He returned to his men, determined to restore order.
At that moment, the mages began returning, creating portals as they regrouped. Their eyes turned toward the giants, along with the Nilfgaardian soldiers, as they continued to observe the giants fighting amidst the burning forest.
"Report the losses! Inform me of the battlefield situation! Explain what's happening there! Who created this forest where there shouldn't have been any trees?!" Menno Coehoorn shouted angrily, his voice echoing through the safe position where they stood.
"General... we don't know what's happening there," one of the mages murmured hesitantly.
"That's all you have to tell me? I don't want to hear these useless excuses! I need answers, and I need them now!" the general exclaimed, irritated and, above all, desperate.
"Look at the forest!" As he spoke, one of the mages pointed toward the distant forest. The giants were beginning to disappear.
"The giants are dissolving... What does this mean?" Francesca murmured, staring at the scene in the distance with a confused and cautious expression.
"Stay alert! I want any reports on what's happening out there. We need to reorganize all the troops and decide what to do. We must seek contact with the emperor and report the situation immediately!" the general murmured, knowing that, most likely, severe punishment awaited them after such a humiliating defeat. His head could very well be removed from his shoulders, as the emperor would not be pleased with this outcome.
Meanwhile, the shinobi were equally astonished in the middle of the forest. All the giants that had been pursuing them began to dissolve, leaving a clear path for a possible escape. But instead of taking the opportunity, they turned their eyes to Madara, who was leaping from the head of a dissolving giant and landing some distance away.
He remained calm as the Susano'os, along with the clones, disintegrated, leaving only wooden husks behind.
"What is he doing?" one of them asked, confused. They obviously didn't realize that much more was happening than they could perceive. But Madara wasn't someone who would simply stop attacking without having another move ready when the fight was nearly won. He was preparing something.
"Well, don't look at me like that..." he said to the three shinobi. "I've decided to end this once and for all. I didn't expect to use this power so soon, but since we've reached this point... let's finish it." Madara spoke calmly.
As the remaining shinobi assumed battle positions—Kenzu having been killed and Akuro buried in the forest—only Daigo, Renzoku, and the leader, whose name Madara hadn't caught, were left. Madara sighed, giving a serious look to the remaining opponents. In the next moment, an overwhelming explosion erupted from him.
His chakra began to expand, greater than anything ever seen before. The energy obliterated everything around him as Madara's power grew rapidly, lifting him with it. The sky seemed to be consumed by his form, which created a gigantic silhouette. A hooded figure began to emerge, dozens of times larger than the giants that had appeared earlier. It surpassed 100, 200, 300 meters... and continued growing. It reached 600 meters in height, bringing the entire battlefield to a halt as everyone stared in sheer shock.
The creature was so immense that even people in distant villages, such as Sodden, could see it on the horizon. Everyone froze, unable to believe what they were witnessing. Their eyes were fixed on the colossal being, which seemed to break the boundaries between the mortal and the divine.
"Are we seeing... a god? Or something like that?" a trembling voice managed to murmur among the soldiers of the North. Tissaia, gathered with the mages and the Northern army that had fled the battlefield, also stared incredulously at the horizon.
"Is this real? How can something like this exist?!" The words stumbled from her lips.
"Perhaps we've angered the gods!" another mage exclaimed.
"..." Thorne wore an expression of fear and shock, mirrored by the Temerian general who had just calmed his horse from a distance.
The Nilfgaardian soldiers were equally stunned. However, unlike the Northerners, who were seeing the back of the giant, the Nilfgaardians faced its front, as if it were looking at them with its glowing red eyes amidst the blue energy.
Atop the head of the 600-meter-tall giant, Madara stood within a crystal, controlling the Susano'o's size. "And now, let's finish this. After all, my Susano'o is not yet complete," he commented calmly, gazing at the forest at his feet and the black-clad soldiers gathered in the distance.
He clenched his fist, and in the next instant, the giant began to change. What had been a hooded figure started to take on more defined shapes. It transformed into a kind of warrior, forming a complete samurai-style armor with wings on its back, carrying swords. The creature exuded an aura of pure power, its dense and terrifying blue chakra making the magnitude of Madara's final Susano'o unmistakable.
To all who watched, it seemed as if a god had descended onto the battlefield, interfering in the mortal world. Silence dominated as everyone swallowed hard, not knowing what to say or think. Only one question hung in the air:
"What will happen next?"
