"Trying that hard to die?" Isamu said, narrowing his eyes slightly at Tsunade.
"Isamu…? You died too?" Tsunade rushed forward and hugged him tightly. "I didn't expect we'd both—"
"…Take a look around first," Isamu said awkwardly. "We're not dead."
"Huh?"
Tsunade blinked and looked around.
The battlefield was still there. Smoke lingered in the air. Jiraiya and Orochimaru were staring straight at her.
"…We're alive?"
Realization hit instantly.
"Ah—!"
She jumped back, her face flushing red as she let go of him.
Isamu rubbed his nose, a bit uncomfortable.
"You all did well," he said. "Leave the rest to me."
The remaining enemy ninja stiffened, watching him warily.
Isamu glanced at them and let out a faint scoff.
"Just a bunch of rookies."
His hands moved in a blur.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"
Four blazing dragons erupted from his mouth, sweeping in from every direction—above, below, left, and right.
There was nowhere to run.
In an instant, the battlefield fell silent.
Every remaining enemy was wiped out.
As for the ninja who had tried to sneak attack Tsunade—
He didn't even get time to react before Isamu cut him down with a single slash.
---
After that, Isamu's Shadow Clone led Tōwa and the others to rescue the captives from the Land of Hot Springs.
Tsunade and her team were taken inside to recover from their injuries.
Meanwhile, Isamu continued hunting down every fleeing enemy.
He didn't stop until the last one fell.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
The final enemy dropped.
Then—
Ding! Mission complete.
Reward: 300,000 points.
Bonus: Sharingan upgrade opportunity.
Isamu glanced at his total.
314,000 points.
Without hesitation, he made his exchanges:
—200,000 for the Eight-Tails, Gyūki
—100,000 for the Six-Tails, Saiken
"Only Chōmei left…"
A faint smile formed.
"Once I collect them all… Second War, Third War—it won't matter."
"Sage of Six Paths… Ōtsutsuki…"
"They'll all be beneath me."
He exhaled.
"First, the Sharingan."
The upgrade activated.
A beam of white light shot into his eyes—
And then—
A violent surge of ocular power crashed into his mind.
"Damn—!"
His vision spun.
He staggered, then collapsed to the ground, clutching his head.
"I didn't expect… the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to hit this hard…"
---
Elsewhere—
Poof.
The Shadow Clone vanished.
"Huh?" Jiraiya frowned. "Where'd Big Brother Isamu go?"
"…A clone," Orochimaru said quietly, staring at where he disappeared.
His eyes narrowed.
"So that was just a Shadow Clone…"
"And it was that strong…"
He let out a slow breath.
"Uchiha Isamu… just how strong are you?"
Tsunade watched silently.
Grandma Mito was right…
He really is strong…
Then—
Her face turned red again.
…I hugged him…
---
Back at the original body—
Isamu slowly stood up as the clone's memories flowed into him.
"…They were injured."
His expression darkened.
"As their captain… I failed them."
His fists tightened.
"Ōnoki…"
"This is because of you."
"I'll make you pay."
---
He steadied his breathing.
"Let's see what this can do."
His eyes opened.
Three tomoe spun—
Then shifted.
The pattern changed, lines connecting into a new form—
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Susanoo!"
Blue chakra erupted around him.
A skeletal giant formed, towering over him as he rose into the air.
"First form…"
More chakra surged.
Flesh and armor layered over the skeleton. A second face appeared. Extra arms formed.
"Second form…"
Then—
A massive burst of chakra exploded outward.
Armor sealed into place.
Wings spread wide.
Four arms—two empty, two gripping massive swords.
Isamu rose, now positioned within the head.
The energy stabilized.
The Complete Body Susanoo stood fully formed—
Colossal and overwhelming.
"Madara once said…"
"It is said that anyone who has laid eyes on this form... dies."
Isamu smirked faintly.
"lets see about that."
"But first…"
He turned toward the distant mountains.
"Let's test it."
The giant sword slid free.
"Slash."
The blade moved—
And the air itself split.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The shockwave tore through the distance.
Four mountain peaks were split clean in half.
Isamu paused.
"…That wasn't what I aimed for."
A grin slowly spread across his face.
"So this is the power…"
"No wonder Madara was so confident."
"With this…"
"Even Senju Hashirama…"
He clenched his fist.
"…might not be able to stop me."
---
The Susanoo faded.
"Time to settle this."
Space twisted.
Kamui.
Isamu vanished.
---
One hour later—
Iwagakure, Land of Earth.
Isamu stood near the entrance, scanning the stone-built village.
"…Fitting name."
He narrowed his eyes.
"If I walk in normally, the barrier will detect me…"
"…Too troublesome."
"Better to skip it."
Space warped again.
He disappeared.
---
Inside the Tsuchikage's office—
Ōnoki was reviewing documents.
Then—
His hand paused.
A strange unease crept over him.
"…What is this feeling?"
"Am I just tired… or—"
Before he could finish the thought—
Space twisted.
A vortex formed in front of him.
A voice followed.
"Not bad."
"You felt it before I even arrived."
Ōnoki's eyes snapped up.
Isamu stepped out of the distortion.
"Konoha ninja?" Ōnoki frowned. "How did you get in here?"
Isamu looked at him calmly.
"…Because of you."
"Because of me?" Ōnoki's brows furrowed.
"I don't recall dealing with you."
But his gaze lingered on Isamu's face.
Familiar.
Very familiar.
Where have I seen him before…?
