'The Wood Clone has worked so hard, I can't fall behind!' Ryosuke thought in his heart.
He patted the Wood Golem beneath him with one hand, pouring an immense amount of Chakra into its body.
Then, he shouted loudly.
"Wood Release: Super Wood Golem Technique!"
Hmm...
The name is pretty simple.
In fact, it's a technique Ryosuke developed after modifying the original Wood Golem Technique.
Compared to the ordinary version, this Super Wood Golem Technique requires nearly twenty times more Chakra.
That's why Ryosuke, who has an absurd amount of Chakra, created this technique in the first place.
Creating a 100 meter tall Wooden Golem already requires multiple Kage-level ninjas' worth of Chakras.
Twenty times that?
That's sixty or seventy Kage-level ninjas' worth of Chakra.
Who could afford such a cost?
Only someone like Ryosuke, who possesses over a thousand Kage-level ninjas' worth of Chakra, can use this technique freely.
Even after consuming sixty or seventy Kage-level units of Chakra, it's only about one-twentieth of his total Chakra reserves.
And in mere minutes, he would easily recover that Chakra.
He didn't need to worry about running out of Chakra.
As Ryosuke infused even more Yang Chakra, the Wood Golem beneath him underwent a terrifying transformation.
Its size skyrocketed. It's once simple exterior became covered in armor-like patterns.
A wooden helmet formed over its previously bloated head.
This Super Wood Golem now exuded an aura of majesty and sacredness.
At the same time, a pair of massive wings sprouted from its back.
It was inspired by the design of the complete body Susanoo.
And finally, a thousand meter long wood dragon coiled around the Super Wood Golem's body.
It's head emerged from the right shoulder, and it's eyes gleamed with cold ferocity as it locked onto the complete body Susanoo in the distance.
Boom!!!
The ground collapsed under its immense weight.
But after sinking a certain distance, the compressed earth managed to withstand the burden.
"That's... Wood Golem?"
"Oh my God~! What kind of giant is this?"
"Gulp~! What the hell is this? Are they really ninjas?"
The Konoha ninjas stationed at the outskirts of the village, along with spies from other countries lurking nearby, were all dumbfounded in terror.
Some even collapsed onto their knees and were paralyzed.
If the 100 meter tall Wood Golem had surprised them, then this nearly 800 meter tall Super Wood Golem had utterly shaken them to their core.
Even Tsunade, who had seen her grandfather use the Wood Golem Technique firsthand trembled at this sight, let alone the others.
On a distant cliff
Sasuke, who had been grinning moments ago, froze in shock.
Tobi beside him was no better. He was utterly speechless from fear.
"What the hell is this Wood Golem? What the hell is this Wood Release?"
Obito, disguised as Tobi, screamed internally.
This Wood Golem was even bigger than the complete body Susanoo.
He had never heard of such a thing.
Before, when Madara neared the end of his life, he had once put Obito under a genjutsu, showing his prime powers.
Back then, Obito had watched in awe, dreaming of attaining such power one day.
But!
Even at his peak, Madara's complete body Susanoo was barely the same size as the black Susanoo standing before him now.
If it was compared to Ryosuke's Super Wood Golem, it was like comparing a child to an adult.
A 600 meter complete body Susanoo was already terrifyingly large.
But in front of an 800 meter tall Super Wood Golem, it suddenly seemed small.
Ryosuke commented, "It seems my vision for Super Wood Golem Technique was correct."
Ryosuke was actually using this technique for the first time.
Even though he had created it earlier, he had never tested it in battle.
Now that he had, the results were astonishing.
This was almost on par with Senju Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands.
And that's despite Ryosuke's Wood Release being a weakened version of Senju Hashirama's Wood release.
If he had the original version, plus the 350% bonus from his talent entry, Sage Body, and enhanced vitality, the power would be even more absurd.
Of course, when it came to sheer size, if Ryosuke were to use his complete body Susanoo, it would overshadow even the Super Wood Golem or True Several Thousand Hands.
After all, even his Wood Clone could summon a 600 metertall complete body Susanoo.
If Ryosuke himself did it?
The size would quintuple.
A 3600 meter tall Susanoo!
Even if three True Several Thousand Hands were stacked together, they would still be smaller than Ryosuke's Complete body Susanoo.
If that kind of Susanoo appeared, wouldn't the enemy be scared to death on the spot?
One swing of the sword, and the world itself might split apart.
Ryosuke seriously considered this possibility.
After all, Rebirth Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion could split the moon.
Wouldn't his Complete Body Susanoo be able to split the surface of the world just as easily?
"As expected of the main body, this super form is terrifying!"
Menma, standing within the Complete Body Susanoo's eyebrows folded his arms.
Seeing the Super Wood Golem before him he was utterly speechless.
"This battle between two super giants is really going to destroy the world!."
A wry smile formed on Menma's face.
Then, he controlled his Complete body Susanoo, soaring thousands of meters into the sky
Then the Susanoo dived down, swinging it's sword with an earth-shattering force at the Super Wood Golem below.
The Super Wood Golem raised it's head. Under its helmet, golden light flickered in it's eyes.
It was as if it was coldly looking down on an insect.
The next second!
The Super Wood Golem launched a devastating punch, while its wings surged with power.
Rumble!
A terrifying gust of wind swept across in all directions like a shockwave.
Even the people, who were over ten kilometers away couldn't even open their eyes.
The Super Wood Golem soared into the air, smashing through the Susanoo's slash with a single punch.
Without losing momentum, it lunged at the Susanoo once again.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
A series of deafening roars that were dozens of times more terrifying than a thunderstorm, echoed through the sky.
Despite their massive sizes, both colossal figures moved with astonishing speed.
If not for their immense scale, the people below might not have been able to see them at all.
"So horrifying!!!"
"Luckily, Ryosuke-sama deliberately took the battlefield away from the village. Otherwise, even from over ten kilometers away, I feel like the aftermath alone would have destroyed everything."
Though Konoha's ninjas were shocked, they were also grateful.
If Ryosuke hadn't deliberately moved the battlefield away from Konoha?
Forget just the outskirts, the entire village might have been reduced to rubble, just like during the Pain invasion.
At this moment!
The battlefield between Super Wood Golem and Complete body Susanoo had moved 10,000 meters into the sky.
Now, they were about 60 to 70 kilometers away from Konoha, and the distance was still increasing.
Even from such a great distance, the thunderous destruction of their battle could still be clearly heard.
Some ninjas even had their eardrums ruptured during the initial clash.
Blood trickled from their ears.
Of course, this kind of injury was no problem for Konoha's medical ninjas.
Especially since Tsunade, the best medical ninja in the world was here.
If not, Konoha would have ended up with hundreds of deaf ninjas after this battle.
A few minutes later—
BOOM!!!
Thousands of meters high in the sky, a terrifying attack blasted across the sea
It travelled nearly a hundred kilometers before obliterating an island the size of the Land of Waves.
Amidst the rumbling chaos, the sea was sucked into a massive hole.
It took minutes for the ocean to fill the void.
Meanwhile
At 10,000 meters altitude, Ryosuke and Menma, who had fought from the Land of Fire all the way to the Land of Water finally paused.
"That should be enough. How much Chakra do you have left?"
Ryosuke dismissed the Super Wood Golem and asked his Wood Clone in front of him.
"About 10% left." The Wood Clone replied.
"I'll give you another 100 Kage-level units of Chakra, just in case."
Ryosuke reached out, pressing a hand on the Wood Clone's body, transferring 100 Kage-level units of Chakra instantly.
"In the future, don't recklessly use Complete body Susanoo. The Chakra cost is too high. If you must use it, come to me for a recharge afterward." Ryosuke instructed.
"Understood, main body." The Wood Clone nodded.
Then he asked, "Should I take Sasuke away now?"
Ryosuke nodded and said, "Yeah, go ahead. And remember to set up more villages. But don't do it yourself. Let those ninjas create their own rivalries."
The Wood clone replied, "I know. I'll see you next time, main body."
With that, the Wood Clone vanished into the sky using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
At 10,000 meters altitude, no one could spy on their conversation.
After all, from the ground, they were completely invisible.
There was no air-based surveillance at this height.
So up in the sky, their communication remained completely private.
'I should head back too, or they'll start worrying.' Ryosuke thought to himself.
And in an instant, he disappeared with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Konoha
Konoha's ninjas stretched their necks, staring eagerly at the distant horizon.
Then—
Swoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared next to Naruto.
It was Ryosuke, who had teleported directly back from the sea using Flying Thunder God.
Naruto exclaimed in surprise, "Ryosuke! You're back!"
"Haha~! I knew you would be fine, Ryosuke."
Jiraiya laughed and said even though he had been worried just moments ago.
After all, the power displayed by Menma was beyond terrifying.
Without Ryosuke, he alone could have single-handedly destroyed all of Konoha.
No one could have stopped him.
Thankfully, fate was kind, and Konoha had an invincible ninja like Ryosuke protecting it.
That was the only reason Konoha had avoided total annihilation.
"I'm fine." Ryosuke reassured them.
"But I couldn't capture that guy."
Tsunade checked Ryosuke, seeing that he wasn't injured, she sighed in relief.
As for not capturing Menma?
That wasn't a problem.
If someone that powerful wanted to escape, it was only natural that Ryosuke couldn't stop him.
No one blamed Ryosuke for that unless they were complete idiots.
But!
Two of Konoha's four biggest idiots were already dead.
And the remaining two?
They had finally learned to keep their mouths shut.
For once, no one dared to criticize Ryosuke.
Instead, they worshiped him.
How could they possibly blame the man who had saved them?
Elsewhere
Not long after Ryosuke returned, a certain figure descended from the sky, landing near Sasuke and Tobi.
"Menma-sensei! Are you okay?!"
Sasuke asked with concern.
Not because he had formed some deep bond with Menma after only three meetings.
But because, at this moment, his own power depended on Menma's survival.
Of course, he didn't want Menma to fall.
"I'm fine. That Ryosuke still isn't strong enough to hurt me."
Menma responded, his expression indifferent.
However!
Tobi, watching from the side, could see the exhaustion that Menma was trying to hide.
"'It seems Ryosuke is even stronger than I thought.'
Damn it! Why does Konoha keep producing these ridiculous monsters?!
