Chapter 155: God's Power! Five Hundred Meters of Susanoo, Cutting the Earth with One Sword!
Uchiha Akira looked at Jiraiya, who was struggling to get up in the distance, and said, "My body is a Sage Body. What I use is the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, perfectly amplified by the Sage Body. The Sage Body grants me infinite stamina and recovery. The Lightning Release Chakra Mode maximizes my speed and strength. With these 2 combined, even in your Sage Mode, you are no match for me in taijutsu. In this mode, you simply can't keep up with my speed."
Jiraiya was panting heavily. In that instant clash, he had no time to react before Uchiha Akira sent him flying with a single punch. His super perception in Sage Mode was useless against such extreme speed.
"Alright. Warm-up is over." The lightning surrounding Uchiha Akira slowly receded into his body.
Jiraiya's eyes were filled with disbelief. Warm-up? Such powerful taijutsu was just a warm-up? But then again, as a member of the Uchiha Clan, and one who even possessed the Rinnegan, how could Uchiha Akira have only this one trump card?
"Next, I'll show you. The power of a god, exclusive to us Uchiha. Susanoo!"
The moment his voice fell, a pressure even more terrifying than the previous Lightning Release Chakra Mode erupted from Uchiha Akira's body! Jiraiya looked up in horror. The massive chakra materialized. Purple energy, like a volcanic eruption, surged out from Uchiha Akira's body!
First, giant ribs, one by one, rose from the ground, forming a ferocious skeleton. Meridians and flesh grew rapidly on the skeleton, and finally, a layer of dark purple outer armor, like a general's armor, covered it. A ferocious warrior god wearing a Tengu mask rose from the ground, standing between heaven and earth. Even in its Complete Susanoo form, its height already exceeded 100 meters, casting a shadow that completely enveloped Jiraiya.
But this was not the end!
The pupil power of Uchiha Akira's left Rinnegan suddenly condensed.
[Divine Authority · Technique Amplification]!
Buzz—
The already formed purple giant began a furious secondary growth at this moment! 300 meters! 500 meters! A 500-meter-tall Perfect Susanoo, like an ancient demon god, descended upon this plain. Its enormous shadow obscured the sun, completely enveloping Jiraiya. Terrifying pressure continuously radiated outwards.
Jiraiya's body stiffened, and even breathing became incredibly difficult. "This... this is simply... Not something I can defeat..."
Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima on his shoulders were also completely stunned. "What... what a joke!" Lady Shima shrieked.
"This level of Susanoo..." Lord Fukasaku's eyes were filled with horror. "Even Uchiha Madara, who was known as the 'Ninja World's Asura,' probably... absolutely couldn't reach this level!"
Uchiha Akira, standing in the diamond-shaped crystal on Susanoo's forehead, looked down at Jiraiya, who was as tiny as an ant on the ground. Uchiha Akira slowly raised his hand. As he moved, the 500-meter-tall purple giant also synchronously raised its sky-obscuring giant hand.
Buzz!
A chakra longsword, gleaming with cold light, condensed in the giant's hand. Susanoo's Divine Weapon: Sword of Kusanagi!
Uchiha Akira simply swung it casually towards the distance. The Sword of Kusanagi in Susanoo's hand followed, cutting down.
With an earth-shattering roar, an incomparably terrifying sword light sliced through the earth. The next second, in Jiraiya's horrified gaze, a terrifying, bottomless ravine, a thousand meters long, appeared on the plain! The cut surface of the ravine was as smooth as a mirror. The entire earth was cut in half by this divine sword.
Jiraiya, and the 2 Sages on his shoulders, were completely speechless. Is this... the power of a god? Is this... the true strength of the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Akira?
After a long while, Jiraiya finally regained some fighting spirit. That was the last stubbornness of a ninja. He couldn't just give up like this!
"Ha... haha..." Jiraiya forced a laugh. "This is... too exaggerated... Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Akira!" He clasped his hands, mobilizing all the chakra in his body without reservation. "But! I, Jiraiya, can't just be looked down upon like this! In that case! Let me, the legendary Sannin, Toad Sage Jiraiya, experience it with the strongest attack of my life!"
Jiraiya roared. "Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan!"
A blue Rasengan, over 10 meters in diameter, containing terrifying natural energy, furiously condensed and spun in Jiraiya's hand! The airflow of the entire plain was drawn by this Rasengan, forming a huge vortex. Jiraiya poured all the chakra in his body, without reservation, into the Super Big Ball Rasengan in his right hand!
Natural energy surged in like a tsunami. The Rasengan in Jiraiya's hand expanded rapidly at a visible speed! 1 meter in diameter! 5 meters! 10 meters! Finally, a massive blue energy ball, nearly 30 meters in diameter, appeared in Jiraiya's hand. This Super Big Ball Rasengan had reached the limit of what Jiraiya could control. This was the greatest limit he could achieve!
"Go!" Jiraiya roared, pushing this Super Big Ball Rasengan, which contained all his strength, fiercely towards the Susanoo in the sky.
Uchiha Akira looked at the rapidly approaching Rasengan, his expression unchanged. He didn't dodge. He simply controlled Susanoo to raise the Sword of Kusanagi in its hand once again. Then, like swatting a fly, he gently slapped down on the Super Big Ball Rasengan.
Boom!!!
The Super Big Ball Rasengan exploded instantly upon contact with the Sword of Kusanagi! The violent energy transformed into a shockwave, sweeping in all directions. And Jiraiya, along with the shattered energy, was fiercely sent flying by the aftershock of the Sword of Kusanagi.
Pfft—
Jiraiya's body, like a kite with a broken string, drew a parabola in the air and slammed heavily to the ground a 100 meters away. All the bones in his body seemed to have shattered. Sage Mode was instantly dispelled. The intense pain nearly made Jiraiya faint.
Jiraiya knew. Uchiha Akira had held back. Akira had held back some of his power at the end. Otherwise, with that last attack, he would have been flattened into a puddle of flesh.
He lost. He lost completely.
"I... give up," Jiraiya used his last ounce of strength to utter these 2 words.
White smoke rose from his shoulders. "Take care, little Jiraiya." Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima dispelled their summoning and returned to Mount Myōboku. Then the massive Susanoo slowly dissipated, turning into countless specks of light. Uchiha Akira's figure reappeared on the plain.
