"Not good!!"
"Retreat… Retreat!"
Panic took hold of everyone as the shockwave shook the battlefield. They had been frozen in horror, witnessing the colossal battle between Luo Lei and the Susanoo, but now, instinctively, they realized their lives were in danger.
Their expressions shifted from terror to urgency.
Swish!
Swish!
The sound of bodies cutting through the air resonated as the ninjas began to retreat at full speed, forcing their hearts to stay calm amidst the chaos unfolding before them.
In the center of the field, the fully formed Susanoo was severely damaged. Visible cracks ran across its head, the result of Luo Lei's devastating blow.
Crack… Crack… Crack…
"What kind of physical monster is this?" Madara couldn't hide his amazement. With quick thinking, he channeled more chakra into the Susanoo, filling the cracks and starting to repair it. But still, he was shocked by Luo Lei's power.
"This reminds me of the feeling of fighting against Hashirama…" he murmured with a hint of excitement. Despite the damage, instead of feeling fear, Madara felt a surge of adrenaline and exhilaration.
The battle had awakened him, pushed him to his limit, and that thrilled him more than anything.
Boom!
The ground trembled as the Susanoo stood up, its figure intact and repaired.
"Didn't I destroy it?" Luo Lei muttered, his eyes shining with curiosity. "With the power of the Rinnegan and the Six Paths, the Susanoo has even improved its defense… Interesting."
He had just struck the Susanoo with three times the speed of sound, with force equivalent to 320 tons, and still… he hadn't completely destroyed it.
"One punch wasn't enough… Well, a few more will do it."
With calm, he clenched his fists, and his body vanished from his spot, once again heading towards the Susanoo.
Inside the Susanoo, the Mizukage's Mangekyō Sharingan began to glow frantically.
Madara sensed Luo Lei's attack. Controlling the Susanoo, he unsheathed its gigantic sword, a blade capable of splitting mountains, and swung it forward with a devastating strike.
Shing!
The sound of the sword cutting through the air echoed as it was directed straight at Luo Lei. But then, something impossible happened.
Luo Lei appeared right in front of the sword, showing no signs of stopping or dodging. Instead, his fist pressed directly against the blade.
Clang!
The clash was deafening, the sound reverberating across the battlefield. Luo Lei's body not only stopped the Susanoo's sword, but he faced it head-on, holding it with his bare fist.
"Go to hell!!!" roared Madara. His disbelief was genuine. How was it possible that Luo Lei, with his fist, could stop a sword created by the Susanoo, a weapon capable of destroying mountains? Was he trying to kill himself?
Zzzmm!
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light emanated from the Susanoo's sword.
The blade gleamed with a mix of chakra and a touch of Six Paths power, pulsing with overwhelming energy as Madara pushed it towards Luo Lei without hesitation.
"Hahaha! It's been so long since I've felt like this!"
Luo Lei was laughing loudly as the pressure in his fist increased to withstand the Susanoo's onslaught.
He felt the growing power of the sword, but instead of backing down, his own energy surged.
Crack!
After less than three seconds of colossal force meeting, a small fissure appeared right where the sword's edge met Luo Lei's fist.
Although the Susanoo tried to repair it quickly, new cracks began to form, spreading like spider webs across the sword.
"What…?"
The Mizukage's expression changed abruptly. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Crash!
The sharp sound of the sword shattering into pieces filled the air, followed by a burst of wind that shook the battlefield. The Susanoo's great sword shattered in an instant, sending a wave of energy that pushed back the ninjas still watching the scene from afar.
But that wasn't the end.
Boom!
Luo Lei's fist violently struck the Susanoo's chest.
The colossal creature couldn't withstand the blow and was sent flying backward, soaring through the air before crashing back into the ground, causing the earth to tremble beneath its weight.
A massive cloud of dust and debris rose into the air, momentarily obscuring the view of the fallen Susanoo.
"Is that… human?"
Madara couldn't help but murmur in shock. For the first time, a sense of doubt crept into his mind.
He knew better than anyone how terrifying the Susanoo's power was, especially when imbued with even a fraction of the Six Paths' power. The sword should have pierced any defense.
And yet, Luo Lei's fist hadn't even shown signs of weakening. It had withstood the Susanoo's sword with barely any effort and even shattered it.
"Incredible…" he murmured to himself, for the first time in a long while, feeling astonishment.
His pride kept him from showing it outwardly, but he felt it.
"NO-NO-NO, I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"
The Mizukage gritted his teeth in fury. Despite Luo Lei's overwhelming power, his pride wouldn't allow him to accept what was happening. With a mental command, he tried to make the Susanoo rise from the ground.
However, Luo Lei was much faster.
In an instant, Luo Lei's body vanished, accelerating to three times the speed of sound. His figure disappeared in a flash, and before the watching ninjas could react, he was already in the sky, descending at terrifying speed towards the Susanoo's head.
Boom!
The impact of his kick was devastating. Luo Lei's inhuman strength concentrated in his leg and struck the Susanoo's head with nuclear force.
The blue giant had no time to react; its body was abruptly sent crashing to the ground.
Crash!
The Susanoo slammed into the ground with such force that enormous cracks began spreading from the point of impact, covering the battlefield in a web of fractures that rapidly expanded.
The ground, unable to bear the force of the impact, was crumbling, and the entire terrain shook as if it were going to split in two.
Inside the Susanoo, Madara gritted his teeth. His rage only grew as he found himself unable to match his opponent's speed and power.
"You…?" he barely murmured.
BOOM!
Before he could rise, another kick descended upon the Susanoo's head, sending it crashing into the ground once more. This time, the force was so overwhelming that Madara felt his control over the blue giant waver.
The Susanoo was driven even deeper.
"Bastard!!!" roared Madara, his pride wounded beyond tolerance. Never in his life had he been humiliated like this.
He, Madara Uchiha, the Legendary Ninja who had brought the world to its knees, was now being trampled upon.
With a burst of ocular power, his Mangekyō Sharingan glowed with renewed intensity. The blue chakra surrounding the Susanoo surged to its maximum, doubling the strength of its aura.
The Susanoo's bluish halo shone with even greater force.
Boom!
But Luo Lei's response was the same. With a downward kick, he struck the Susanoo's head once again, crushing it further into the ground.
The impact was so violent that the giant's entire body was driven deep into the earth, while the battlefield quaked.
The shinobi watching from afar could barely remain standing due to the constant tremors of the ground.
"Stay underground…" said Luo Lei. The Susanoo tried to rise, but he wasn't about to allow it. With a cold gaze, he descended again and again, stomping on the blue giant without remorse.
Boom!
Boom!
Each stomp was like a hammer relentlessly pounding away, burying the Susanoo deeper and deeper into the ground. The once-almost unstoppable force was now being mercilessly hammered.
Finally, after several more blows, the Susanoo was buried dozens of meters underground, with its colossal body sunk into the earth.
If anyone were to look at the Land of Waves from above, they would have seen an incredible sight: at the center of the battlefield, the perfect form of the fallen Susanoo, surrounded by countless cracks extending in all directions, tearing the landscape apart.
The battlefield was in ruins. The Susanoo, though still visible, was completely immobilized, trapped in the ground.
"…"
The ninjas of Konoha and Kirigakure, who had continued to retreat from the battle, couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Sweat ran down their faces, their bodies trembled, and their minds were blank. Even the most powerful among them, like Futian and Yagura, were paralyzed, unsure of how to react to the destruction unfolding before their eyes.
"Damn it…" was all Yagura could murmur, unable to process the magnitude of what was happening.
Without stopping, Luo Lei ascended into the sky, flying several thousand meters upward in the blink of an eye.
At that height, he clenched his fist, staring intently downward, where the wounded but still imposing Susanoo lay on the ground. And with a speed three times faster than sound, he descended with overwhelming force.
"AGAIN?!" Madara felt a chill. He wanted to react, to control the Susanoo to do something, but it was too late.
Rumble…
Luo Lei's fist collided with the head of the Susanoo like a meteor crashing into the Earth.
The impact was catastrophic.
A deafening roar shook the entire Land of Waves, generating a shockwave that tore through the battlefield.
BOOM!!
The point of impact became the epicenter of destruction. From there, countless cracks began to spread across the entire country, opening like spider webs over the fractured earth.
Crack… Crack…
Even with the power of the Six Paths and the Rinnegan, the Susanoo began to show signs of collapse. At a glance, cracks covered its entire body, until finally…
Crack
The blue colossus crumbled, its massive body falling apart into fragments.
"How… how is this possible?" the Mizukage muttered with an expression of absolute horror.
Whistle!
In the moment the Susanoo completely disintegrated, terror filled Madara's mind. He knew well what this destruction meant.
Even though he wasn't at his full strength, he could still use a fraction of the Six Paths and Rinnegan's power. Under those circumstances, a fully formed Susanoo should have been nearly unstoppable, but Luo Lei had crushed it without mercy.
For him, this level of power was beyond comprehension. Not even Hashirama, with his best technique, would have been able to destroy the Susanoo in such a manner.
"Sigh…"
Madara attempted to flee the scene before the shockwave from the Susanoo's destruction reached him.
"Leaving already?" A cold voice interrupted his thoughts.
Before he could react, Luo Lei appeared in front of him, his imposing figure casting a threatening shadow over the Mizukage, his eyes glowing with a red gleam.
"Madara Uchiha… you've crossed paths with me. One day… I'll find you and kill you."
"Wha—"
Before the Mizukage could say anything, Luo Lei swiftly reached out and ripped both Mangekyō Sharingan from the Mizukage's eyes.
The pain and shock overwhelmed the Mizukage, but before he could process it…
ZZZZZZT!
Two laser beams shot out from Luo Lei's eyes, piercing through the Mizukage's body. The thermal vision, like two beams of pure energy, engulfed him, and in a matter of seconds…
The Mizukage's body, controlled by Madara, disintegrated completely in an explosion of energy.
Not a single trace of him remained.
