"Boom boom boom!"
Inside the Four Red Yang Formation, the sky-high explosion continued.
"Damn it!"
Inside the black Susanoo, Shin'yu gritted his teeth, his Mangekyo eyes spinning like windmills. Fresh blood constantly oozed from his eye sockets, only to disappear in an instant, repeating this process second after second.
He was trying to raise his Susanoo to the third stage. That continuous, concentrated pinpoint blasting was no joke. If his Susanoo wasn't desperately holding on, it would be breached in just three seconds.
As long as Chakra was continuously supplied, the Susanoo wouldn't collapse!
With a "hum," a burst of black air surged from the massive half-body Susanoo, enveloping his entire body like a cloak, forming a vague prototype of armor. But just as the armor was about to take shape, it suddenly collapsed, and the Susanoo·Second Stage returned to its original state.
This stagnant, unbearable feeling was as agonizing as not being able to sneeze.
"The Four Red Yang Formation lives up to its name, suppressing me to this extent. I can't activate the Crow Tengu Susanoo, nor can I use the divine weapon!"
Shin'yu clasped his hands together, using this to adjust his inner breath, trying to get his sluggish meridians to function again.
"No, I've tried so many times, it's impossible!"
"The continuous blasting will last for a long time. If that's the case, the time axis for backtracking can't be refreshed. I only have 2 minutes left!"
"Once I exceed this time, I will... die!"
"Even if I use 'Mahoraga' to adapt to the explosion, I can't cope with the Five Release Great Consecutive Shots before my Chakra runs out. Damn Tobirama, this isn't a solution!"
Shin'yu looked around, peering through the inner wall of the Susanoo, watching the dazzling firelight outside, and the faces of the zombies repeatedly collapsing in the explosion.
"Change strategy, get rid of these zombies first!"
"Every Ninjutsu has its flaws. These guys were too far away from me before, but now they've concentrated around me on their own accord..."
Shin'yu decided on a plan of action. To deal with these Impure World Reincarnation guys, although he didn't know any sealing techniques, he still had another trump card.
"Undying things must be countered with undying things!"
"Relax, relax, the operating principles of the techniques are the same. You just need to switch the Chakra's attributes to do it!"
He adjusted his breathing, and his hands began to form seals slowly and precisely. The sluggish Chakra began to flow slowly along specific routes.
Rat—Ox—Dog—
Horse!
Shin'yu crossed his hands, his two index fingers forming an arch, the final seal of this Ninjutsu ending with the "Horse" seal, held upright in front of his chest.
"Blaze Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
He took a deep breath, and then exhaled!
Black flames erupted like a mountain torrent, Shin'yu turned his body, allowing this black flame to sweep in all directions, engulfing all the Impure World beings outside the Susanoo!
In an instant, the surroundings turned into a black sea of fire, even the explosions became fuel for the Amaterasu flames!
"Hoo!"
Under the extreme high temperature, the Impure World beings turned into ashes one after another. Even if they re-condensed their bodies, they would be swallowed by the flames in the blink of an eye. This flame, for the first time, truly achieved eternal burning!
When the explosions ceased, Shin'yu breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes turned cold, and with a swirl of black energy, the Yasaka Magatama reappeared.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Dozens of magatama scattered in all directions, blasting the ninja who had released the Five Release Great Consecutive Shots into dust. The Amaterasu black flames swirled around the magatama, indistinguishable from the dark orbs themselves. Soon, the surrounding ninja were reduced to fuel for the black flames.
Shin'yu's gaze sharpened. He noticed that when the Amaterasu spread to the barrier, it stopped expanding and was instead "bounced" back.
"Barrier techniques, sealing techniques, truly extraordinary, even Blaze Release can be suppressed..."
One second had passed, and Shin'yu prepared to activate Ame no Tokotachi again, refreshing his 5 minutes of "invincibility."
But just then, a hand pressed against the outer wall of the Susanoo once more.
Tobirama Senju!
"Kana, Uchiha Shin'yu." Tobirama's face was extremely pale, his sunken eye sockets accentuating the ruthlessness in his eyes.
In that brief moment, Shin'yu saw his face clearly—a gaunt, emaciated face with two black vertical lines extending downward from a blank diamond mark between his eyebrows, covering his entire body, like ribbons wrapped around his hands and feet.
"So..." Before he could express his surprise, the massive half-body giant vanished without a trace, including Shin'yu inside, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only black flames burning around.
Having succeeded, Tobirama did not immediately jump out of the barrier. He threw hundreds of Flying Thunder God Kunai in all directions, and a kunai slid from his sleeve as he stood ready.
...
Tens of thousands of miles away, in an unknown sea area.
"Crack!"
"Crack, crack..."
The first thing Shin'yu heard was a crisp cracking sound.
It was... the sound of the Susanoo cracking!
The sound was like a resounding bell, loud and clear, instantly jolting his dizzy mind awake!
This was the closest he had ever been to death, and the instinct developed over years of battle had saved his life.
The moment he regained consciousness, he subconsciously shrank, unleashing a massive amount of Chakra to maintain the Susanoo.
"So dark, so cold, I can't see anything!"
He tried his best to open his eyes wide, but everything around him was pitch black, as if swallowed by a black hole. He could only vaguely sense a floating, drifting sensation.
An intensely salty taste assaulted him, almost cutting through his nasal passages.
"Crack!"
In less than a second, his Susanoo cracked again!
"What!"
The crisp sound came from all directions. Time seemed to slow down, and even the sound of cracking was crushed into a distant, drawn-out echo. This indicated that the Susanoo was still facing a comprehensive, all-encompassing, powerful attack!
Shin'yu broke out in a cold sweat, finding it hard to imagine what kind of attack he was enduring!
"Calm down, calm down... I still have time..."
Shin'yu desperately activated Ame no Tokotachi, rewinding his condition while calming his mind.
"At the last moment, Tobirama teleported over and struck me with his palm, followed by a strange sense of dizziness. That's right, there's no mistaking it! He must have used Flying Thunder God to teleport me away!"
"Endless darkness, all-encompassing pressure, not a single soul within a hundred miles, and this faint fishy smell, this bone-chilling temperature... I can't imagine any place other than the deep sea..."
"He actually... wants to use the pressure of the deep sea to kill me!"
Almost instantly, he wanted to activate his Mangekyo ability to teleport back.
"!!!"
He desperately suppressed the thought.
Since Tobirama knew about his space-time Ninjutsu, he would naturally expect him to have a way to teleport back. At this moment, he must be lying in wait at the original location.
The moment he showed his face, no matter where he appeared, he believed that what would greet him wouldn't be raindrops, but Tobirama's Kunai!
Ame no Tokotachi isn't truly invincible. Even if he chose to teleport back with Susanoo, he couldn't guarantee that Tobirama wouldn't suddenly appear inside Susanoo. That old fox must have re-established the Flying Thunder God formula in the original place!
In the next 1 second of cooldown time, it would be enough for him to kill himself several times!
But if he didn't leave, he would eventually be crushed into meat paste by the pressure of the deep sea!
At this thought, Shin'yu's breathing became disordered, and he couldn't help but feel lingering fear for Tobirama's wisdom and series of methods.
"Lord Madara, this is bad..."
Hashirama was known to the world as the "God of Shinobi". If he had to deify Tobirama as well, then Shin'yu would call him the "God of Conspiracy"!
"Heh~ heh~"
Shin'yu hugged his arms, and the bone-chilling cold invaded along his limbs.
He was now like a lab rat in a container, the only thing he could do was desperately maintain the strength of the container, but this was undoubtedly a stopgap measure, and he could only wait for death in the time that followed.
For the first time in his life, he truly experienced a deep sense of helplessness.
"Damn it, I screwed up..."
In fact, after he released the Outer Nine-Tails, there was a short period of time when he could have left.
Even with pursuers behind him, even with Tobirama Senju's pursuit, he could still leave calmly.
The reason why he obediently entered the trap set by Tobirama, and the reason why he entangled with Tobirama for so long, was all part of his plan.
Madara's words flashed through his mind for no reason.
"You can't become a strong person by just relying on information advantage to fight..."
"If you can't achieve a first-encounter kill with your fighting style, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the next battle..."
The seawater was icy cold, and he shivered, although his whole body was about to lose consciousness, the endless darkness could crush a person's will even more.
"No!"
Shin'yu slowly clenched his fist. In the deep sea without a trace of light, his eyes suddenly became firm, and the Mangekyo rotated quietly.
"I can still... adapt to the deep sea!"
