Chapter 614: The Complete Susanoo Shattered—The Third Raikage Falls for the Trap

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted within the Cloud Village, shaking the ground as shockwaves rippled through the air.

A had finally managed to suppress the rampaging Two-Tails with the help of the Jonin unit and the Sealing Team—but just when it seemed like they were gaining control, a new crisis emerged.

A towering, ethereal giant materialized in the heart of the village, its translucent blue form radiating an overwhelming presence. Clutched in its massive hands were several colossal shuriken, each one crackling with immense chakra.

"Susanoo…"

The sight of the spectral warrior caused the Third Raikage's expression to darken.

Dodai, standing beside him, felt a chill crawl up his spine.

If the wielder of Susanoo was here, then that meant…

"The one who stole the Rinnegan from the Stone Village has infiltrated the Cloud Village."

Dodai's voice was grim, his mind racing.

"This must have been his plan all along. According to Konoha's intel, his name is Uchiha Obito. He was once a member of Konoha's Uchiha clan, but during the war, he was taken by Uchiha Madara."

Dodai's fists clenched.

"This man possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan—eyes that wield the power of space itself!"

The tension in the Raikage's office was suffocating.

"Lord Raikage, you must stop him! He's targeting the Sealing Team!"

Dodai, ever the strategist, immediately grasped the enemy's objective.

The Mangekyō Sharingan was powerful, but it wasn't omnipotent. Even those who could manipulate space weren't invincible—if they were, then why had Senju Tobirama, despite mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, still been unable to defeat Madara?

Kamui was undoubtedly a broken ability. But even with both eyes, Obito couldn't claim the title of the strongest in the ninja world.

He had stayed in the shadows for a reason.

His earlier attack on the Two-Tails' Jinchūriki had been calculated. He had disappeared afterward, only to reemerge at the exact moment when the Two-Tails was about to be sealed.

His goal was clear—to eliminate the Sealing Team.

The Cloud Village relied on its Sealing Team to restrain the Tailed Beasts. Even if they had powerful seal techniques, they were useless without skilled shinobi to execute them.

If Black Zetsu wanted to ensure the Rinnegan remained hidden, he needed to control the people responsible for seals.

He was betting on the Sealing Team leading him to something valuable.

The Third Raikage didn't hesitate.

The moment the enemy showed themselves, he vanished from the Raikage's office.

He couldn't afford to sit back any longer, even if this enemy wasn't Madara himself.

The giant Susanoo moved, its massive hand launching the enormous shuriken forward.

These weren't ordinary weapons.

Each shuriken was infused with the power of Kamui, warping space around them as they sliced through the air.

No ordinary shinobi could withstand such an attack.

A felt his heart sink.

He wanted to intercept the attack, to pull the Sealing Team out of harm's way.

But he couldn't.

No matter how fast he was, the shuriken were faster.

In an instant, the Sealing Team was engulfed by the deadly projectiles.

The shinobi, too focused on maintaining the seal on the Two-Tails, never even saw it coming.

Black Zetsu had chosen his timing perfectly.

One strike, and the Cloud Village had lost half of its lifeline.

Sealing experts were far rarer than medical-nin. If the entire Sealing Team was wiped out, the Cloud Village would be crippled.

This wasn't just a painful loss—it was a devastating blow.

A boom resounded as the projectiles hit their mark.

The explosion sent shockwaves through the village, reducing entire sections of buildings to rubble.

With the Sealing Team incapacitated, the suppression seal on the Two-Tails unraveled.

A deep, guttural growl echoed across the battlefield.

Freed from its restraints, the massive feline bared its fangs, chakra swirling violently around it.

It opened its jaws.

Twin streams of chakra began converging, forming a sphere of immense energy.

A Tailed Beast Bomb.

The village was about to be leveled.

Meanwhile, the half-body Susanoo had already drawn two enormous swords from the wings on its back.

If Takuya were here, he would have cursed in disbelief.

So many people had assumed that Obito's signature weapon was the giant shuriken.

No one had expected him to pull out twin swords like this.

They had been hidden all along, concealed within the spectral armor's wings—only drawn when necessary.

A's Lightning Chakra Cloak roared to life, crackling with electricity as he prepared to attack.

But compared to him, the Third Raikage was far more composed.

Unlike his son, the older Raikage's chakra was utterly silent, its power restrained and controlled.

While A's cloak sizzled and snapped like a live wire, the Third Raikage's aura was as quiet as death itself.

The strongest spear and strongest shield of the ninja world were no empty boasts.

When the twin swords came swinging down, the Third Raikage met them head-on.

His arm shot forward.

"Hell Stab: Four-Finger Thrust!"

The moment blade met flesh, something unbelievable happened.

The Susanoo's sword—an ethereal construct of raw chakra—shattered.

Even Black Zetsu, watching from the shadows, was momentarily stunned.

Obito's Susanoo weapons had just been obliterated.

But the Third Raikage didn't stop.

His charge continued, his fingers shifting from four to three.

Everywhere his hand struck, Susanoo cracked and crumbled.

"Looks like a full-body Susanoo is still out of reach," Black Zetsu mused aloud, completely unfazed.

With both Kamui eyes, White Zetsu's cells, and Obito's body as a vessel, he could theoretically push the Mangekyō Sharingan to summon a Perfect Susanoo.

But the cost would be enormous.

Even now, he hadn't expected the Susanoo to be so easily breached.

Not that it mattered.

He had already completed his objective.

The next step depended on how the Cloud Village responded.

Kamui activated, distorting space around Black Zetsu.

He vanished into thin air.

The spectral giant collapsed, its ethereal form dissolving into nothing.

On a rooftop overlooking the devastation, the Third Raikage clenched his fists.

The battlefield was empty.

His enemy was gone.

"They're cunning, I'll give them that," he muttered.

They never stayed to fight when things got tough.

The moment they met resistance, they fled without hesitation.

Before he could dwell on his frustration, a deafening roar echoed across the village.

His eyes widened in horror.

He had been so focused on Black Zetsu that he had forgotten about the Two-Tails.

And in the time it had taken him to engage the enemy, no one had been able to stop the Tailed Beast.

The massive sphere of chakra in its jaws had fully formed.

A Super Tailed Beast Bomb.

There was no one left to stop it.

And no time to escape.
