Chapter 128: Mizukage Defeat

"Susanoo: Second Stage!"

Although Uchiha Madara's Sharingan is not the original one, and it is just an ordinary three-magatama instead of the Mangekyō or even the Eternal Mangekyō level, Susanoo does not necessarily require the Mangekyō Sharingan. The Mangekyō Sharingan with both eyes gathered is just a key to unlock Susanoo.

And even though his eyes have been replaced, his pupil power is still there. In his current state, it is more than enough for him to perform a mere second-stage Susanoo.

-----------------

(I'm not making this up. In the Fourth World War, after Uchiha Madara was resurrected by Rinnegan, he performed a show of using Susanoo without an eye, and he was directly using the third stage of Susanoo. And Uchiha Shisui, after having one of his Mangekyō Sharingan taken away by Danzo, was able to use Susanoo with only one eye.)

(So, the Mangekyō Sharingan is definitely not a prerequisite for Susanoo, it is at most a prerequisite. But looking at Madara's state, it is possible that without the Mangekyō Sharingan, Susanoo will have certain limitations, such as only being able to open to the third stage or something.)

-----------------

"boom!!!"

The solid ice was directly broken by Susanoo, and Uchiha Madara stood in it with his arms folded across his chest, looking calmly at the Third Mizukage Bing.

"The technique is good! But it's not enough!" Uchiha Madara gave his evaluation.

"Damn it! Susanoo? And it's already the second stage!" Bing gritted his teeth secretly. As a ninja who had experienced the era of the two heroes of the Warring States Period, he was not unfamiliar with the information about Susanoo.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" Accompanied by four consecutive chakra roars, four chakra lightsabers appeared in the four hands of Susanoo, and then under the control of Uchiha Madara, they smashed towards the position of ice.

Bing's face turned pale and he dodged hurriedly, but the size difference was too big. Although he dodged twice, he failed to dodge the third attack. While dodging, he was hit head-on by the chakra lightsaber and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

However, Uchiha Madara had no intention of letting Bing go. With the presence of White Zetsu, as long as Bing was not killed on the spot, Uchiha Madara was confident that he could keep him alive no matter how badly injured he was.

The lightsaber in Susanoo's hand turned into chakra and dissipated, then condensed into several huge magatama, and then directly thrown at the ice flying backwards in the air.

"Susanoo: Yasaka's Magatama!!!"

The magatama exploded near Bing. The shock of the explosion made Bing spit out a large mouthful of blood again, and Bing's breath instantly weakened.

"boom!"

Bing fell heavily to the ground, uncontrollably rolling several times on the ground, but Bing did not give up resistance. As the Kage of a village, how could he give up so easily? There was only one Mizukage who died in battle in the Hidden Mist Village, and there has never been a Mizukage who surrendered!

He stood up with difficulty using his right foot to support his body. At this time, Bing's left arm and left leg were in a strange arc, but they had been broken in Uchiha Madara's attack just now. Bing forcibly controlled his still trembling right hand and slowly began to make seals with one hand. He was still fighting!

"Oh?" Uchiha Madara made a puzzled sound, and couldn't help but admire Bing in his heart. Even after being beaten like this by him, and seeing the huge gap in strength between the two of them, he was still trying to resist. But he only admired him a little. After all, he was not strong enough. It was amazing that he had the courage to fight against Uchiha Madara, but this was the only thing worth praising.

In this ninja world, the only one who can stop Uchiha Madara is Hashirama! The other ninjas are just chickens and dogs.

Susanoo condensed a chakra lightsaber in his hand again and swept it lightly at Bing. A chakra sword energy whizzed past. Bing was no longer able to dodge and could only use his body to take the blow and complete the final ninjutsu at the same time.

The sword energy swept past and hit Bing's body. Bing's already broken left arm was cut off by the sword energy. Bing used his already disabled left arm to get his last chance to attack.

"Ice Escape: Eternal Sin Ice Prison!!!"

Bing poured all the remaining chakra in his body into this ninjutsu. Regardless of success or failure, this S-level ice escape technique would be the final blow of the Third Mizukage Bing.

A huge ice arrow slowly condensed above Bing's head, and then rushed towards Uchiha Madara's position. Uchiha Madara did not dodge, and the arrogant Uchiha decided to defeat this move head-on and completely shatter all of Bing's hopes.

The ice arrow hit Susanoo, then quickly spread, freezing everything around it and forming a huge ice prison. Under the effect of the ice chakra, it then exploded with a loud bang!

The huge explosion sounded very far away, so far that the Kirigakure ninjas who, under the leadership of the Ninja Swordsmen, had broken through the heavy encirclement of the White Zetsu clones and retreated to the sea could hear it.

The mist and smoke produced by the explosion gradually dissipated. Bing, who was holding on to his last breath, did not get the result he wanted. Although Susanoo was impacted in the explosion, only the chakra in some parts was blown away. Uchiha Madara, who was protected in it, was not injured at all.

Bing took a deep breath, and his already broken body could no longer support himself, and he fell to the ground powerlessly.

Uchiha Madara's eye jades kept spinning, and as his pupil power surged, the broken part of Susanoo was quickly repaired. In fact, Uchiha Madara was not as well off as he looked. At the moment of the explosion, Uchiha Madara output a large amount of pupil power, and in a short period of time, Susanoo was raised to the strength of the third stage of Crow Tengu Armor, and only then could it barely block the final explosion attack of Bing.

The battle ended just like that. The huge chakra giant slowly dissipated and returned to the state where only ribs were left. In order to save pupil power, Uchiha Madara maintained Susanoo in the initial stage. After all, maintaining the second stage of Susanoo for a long time was still a bit stressful for the elderly Uchiha Madara.

In the initial stage of the rib form, Susanoo, under the control of Uchiha Madara, stretched out a chakra bone arm and lifted the Third Mizukage Bing, who was lying on the ground and had lost consciousness, in front of Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara planned to control Bing first and then let White Zetsu treat his injuries.

-----------------

The following is information about Susanoo from the official sources, which introduces the different stages of Susanoo.

Initial stage: only the arms and ribs are transformed.

The first stage: The appearance is a skeleton giant, and the chakra will completely cover the body.

The second stage: Based on the first stage, meridians, flesh and blood grow, and it becomes a normal chakra giant.

The third stage: Based on the second stage, Susanoo is covered with the Crow Tengu armor with extremely terrifying defensive power.

Stage 4: Based on the second stage, the lower body and legs grow, the size of Susanoo also increases synchronously, and the operator will be located at the head of Susanoo. Susanoo at this stage can be equipped as armor on the tailed beast, forming the "Power Susanoo".

The fifth stage: also called the complete form of Susanoo, is the true form of Susanoo, the body becomes extremely huge, comparable to the tailed beast, and the chakra tends to be stable. It can be said to be a complete form that combines the third and fourth stages.

Note: The third and fourth stages are two different evolutions or enhancements of the second stage. There is no distinction between order and strength. The third stage emphasizes extreme defense, while the fourth stage focuses on speed and can form a powerful outfit.
