The Perfect Susanoo stood tall, exuding an overwhelming presence as it effortlessly shattered the Dust Release unleashed by Ōnoki and the combined efforts of the Iwagakure shinobi.
Towering nearly a kilometer high, its massive form pierced the heavens.
Compared to it, Ōnoki and the others were nothing more than ants, standing dumbfounded beneath its colossal feet, their faces consumed by despair.
"T-This... Is this Mirai's true power?"
"Perfect Susanoo... Hahaha... Can a human even wield something like this?"
"If he had this kind of strength, he should've used it earlier! Why did he give us hope first, damn it?!"
"Hahahahaha... How ridiculous! We've been fighting against... something like this?"
The moment they witnessed the Perfect Susanoo, the Iwagakure shinobi's spirits completely collapsed.
The very thought of opposing such an existence now seemed laughable. Under this power, their perseverance, their beliefs—what did they even matter?
Before Mirai, their once-steadfast determination must have looked like nothing more than the antics of fools.
Lying weakly on the ground, Ōnoki closed his eyes, accepting his fate.
This time, he had no excuse left to cling to.
Defeat.
Total, utter defeat.
In the face of the god-like power of the Uchiha, all his perseverance was nothing more than a self-deception.
Mirai was right—strength was not willpower; it was the arrow that pierced and shattered conviction.
The rock-solid belief Ōnoki had upheld all his life was now completely obliterated by Uchiha Mirai.
"I had hoped to test a few more moves... but you all are far too fragile."
With a cold snort, Mirai wielded Susanoo's massive blade and swung it downward with devastating force.
A crimson slash cut through the land, splitting the ground open into a massive chasm resembling an abyss.
The rift stretched for dozens of miles, stopping only when it reached Iwagakure's village gates.
As the earth trembled and wailed, countless Iwagakure shinobi were reduced to dust in a single strike.

[ … ]
A series of notifications rang in Mirai's mind as he felt an unprecedented transformation sweeping through his body.
When all his core attributes surpassed ten thousand points, quantitative change finally triggered qualitative change.
He could now clearly sense it—his moment to ascend to a higher lifeform had arrived.
If he so desired, he could step into the Six Paths level at any moment!
"I've waited so long... Finally, it's here."
Muttering softly, Mirai's figure vanished instantly.
———
Back on the ground, as the dust gradually settled, the few surviving Iwagakure shinobi—such as Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi—staggered to their feet.
They scanned their surroundings, their faces filled with nothing but despair.
A chasm, deep as an abyss, stretched before them, extending all the way to the village gates.
With a single strike, Mirai had reshaped the very landscape beyond repair.
Calling it an 'attack' was an understatement—this was a natural disaster.
Only a calamity could cause such destruction.
"Grandfather..."
Kitsuchi snapped out of his shock and immediately began searching frantically.
After a long, agonizing moment, he finally found Ōnoki buried beneath a pile of rubble.
By then, the old Tsuchikage had already lost all signs of life. His body was cold, lifeless.
Tears streamed down Kitsuchi's face as he carried the corpse on his back, trudging toward the village.
His face was filled with regret.
Though he had no idea why Mirai had left after that one final attack, he was certain of one thing—Mirai would return.
And when he did, it would mark the end of Iwagakure.
They should never have provoked him. If they hadn't, they wouldn't have suffered such a devastating fate—Tsuchikage dead, their elite forces wiped out.
Despite the Tsuchikage and comrades perishing at Mirai's hands, Kitsuchi felt no hatred for him.
The one at fault was not Mirai—it was them.
Uchiha Mirai...
That man had already transcended to another level of existence. Anyone who stood against him was doomed to annihilation.
Had they realized this sooner, they might not have ended up like this.
———
Mirai, of course, had no knowledge of Kitsuchi's thoughts.
Even if he did, he wouldn't care.
With his current power, everything in the shinobi world was nothing more than a toy in his hands.
His actions were not driven by hatred or revenge but by a far greater purpose.
To him, those beneath him were merely ants—not worth his emotions.
Deep in a secluded mountain, Mirai found an isolated peak, carved out a cave, and set up a barrier.
After completing the necessary preparations, he whispered, "System panel."
A translucent interface appeared before his eyes.
[ Name: Uchiha Mirai ]
[ Physique: ]
[ Mental Strength: ]
[ Chakra: ]
[ Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyou Sharingan, Magnet Release - Gold Dust, Scorch Release, Shikotsumyaku, Boil Release, Illusion - Five Senses Manipulation, Byakugan, Wood Release, Rinnegan, Ice Release ]
[ Ninjutsu: … Earth Release—Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique, Earth Release—Rock Fist Technique ]
[ Other: … Hatake Kenjutsu, Yomotsu Hirasaka! ]
[ Dojutsu: Amaterasu, Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto, Takamagahara, Susanoo, Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto, Kotoamatsukami, , Kamui, Limbo: Border Jail, Chibaku Tensei, Planetary Devastation, Tengai Shinsei , Daikokuten, Sukunahikona, Amenotejikara ]
Gazing at the panel, Mirai's heart surged with excitement.
After annihilating the Iwagakure forces, all his core attributes had surpassed ten thousand points!
He had long suspected that breaking this threshold would trigger a fundamental transformation in his existence.
The Six Paths level!
Once he stepped into this realm, he would truly transcend humanity.
To attain Six Paths meant to become a god!
Moreover, reaching ten thousand points had awakened a new ability—Yomotsu Hirasaka.
A Kekkei Mōra... He hadn't expected to obtain such a power already.
If space-time ninjutsu had tiers, then Yomotsu Hirasaka would undoubtedly be the pinnacle.
Unlike the Flying Thunder God, which required a pre-marked location, and Kamui, which allowed travel between dimensions, Yomotsu Hirasaka permitted free traversal across different realities.
Not to mention, its range far exceeded both techniques.
It was the power that allowed the Ōtsutsuki clan to plunder worlds across the universe.
Even though Mirai had no immediate plans to explore space, obtaining Yomotsu Hirasaka early was an invaluable gain.
Taking a deep breath, he refocused.
Now, the most important thing was completing his evolution!
In an instant, Mirai's body levitated mid-air.
A strange energy enveloped him, forming a perfectly smooth, white sphere around him.
As the sphere stabilized, Mirai's presence vanished completely.
