Chapter 315 Rank A Technique: Susanoo!

[Rank A Technique: Susanoo (Initial Form)]

[Technique Description: The ultimate eye technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan! A mighty war god combining offense and defense!]

[Technique Effect: Refines one's spiritual energy into a special Yin Release chakra called "Eye Power," releasing and materializing the Yin Release chakra outwards through the eye's nervous and meridian systems.]

[Skill Evaluation: I am Gundam!]

"Holy crap? [Susanoo]???"

Looking at the last A-rank scroll that popped up on the panel, Nara Rinka rarely swore, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Is this thing really something that can be obtained from an A-rank [Ninja Scroll]?"

As a true Gundam fan, how could Nara Rinka not know the great name of Susanoo?

In his view, the near-ubiquitous Susanoo (referring to all Gundam ninjutsu) in the future is also the culprit that caused the ninja world to go from conventional intelligence warfare to inhuman collapse warfare!

Your intelligence has been gathered on you? No problem, I'm Gundam.

Someone just rammed into your face? No problem, I'm Gundam.

Were we ganged up on without any sportsmanship?

It's okay, I am Gundam!

To be fair, even ordinary ninjas would struggle to deal with a large summoning beast, let alone a humanoid Gundam controlled by a human and whose will is one with the controller.

Let's discuss what kind of death posture can preserve dignity...

Looking to the future, Erzhuzi is willing to sacrifice himself to feed a tiger (or snake?), using his body, his dignity, and his Tamashi (soul) to seduce and tempt a gossipy old pervert, all in order to obtain the power of revenge from him.

However, during the battle between Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, the brothers...

Sasuke perfectly utilized all the abilities he learned from Orochimaru, painstakingly creating an absolutely suitable battle environment, and at the same time, he controlled the power of thunder and heaven that no mortal could possibly withstand in a desperate situation.

As a result, his older brother pulled out a super powerful trump card called "Susanoo".

Of course, Itachi Uchiha's monstrous abilities were not limited to just the Susanoo...

But if we only talk about Susanoo, Itachi Uchiha's level of abnormality even surpasses that of his ancestor, Madara Uchiha!

That's right!

In Nara Rinka's opinion, Itachi Uchiha's future Susanoo will be the most monstrous of all the "Susanoo Gundams".

Even including Kakashi Hatake's Six Paths Limited Edition "Kamui Susanoo", Sasuke Uchiha's Six Tomoe Rinnegan Nine Tailed Beasts' "Ultimate Susanoo", and Madara Uchiha's Beast Tribulation's "Armor Susanoo".

Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo is still the strongest!

The reason is simple: Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo comes with a built-in cheat, and it's the ultimate cheat that transcends logic.

【Yata Mirror】—A divine artifact, possessing the power to transform into any element, capable of nullifying all attacks;

【Ten-Fist Sword】—A divine weapon; enemies struck by it will be sealed within the sword forever.

Unbeatable defense, absolute seal.

Nara Ranke never thought of him as an "Itachi fanboy," but in reality, the opponent's equipment and ability configuration were ridiculously strong.

And that doesn't even include other cheats...

If Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are the legendary "Children of the World," then Itachi Uchiha must at least be the "Father of the World"!

Nara Rinka pulled his thoughts back from the endless rant and immersed himself in the scroll of the A-rank technique, Susanoo (initial form).

He originally thought that an "ultimate eye technique" like Susanoo would at least have an S-rank rating.

But since the panel brazenly gave it an A-rank rating and even included it in the A-rank [Ninja Scroll]...

It would be impolite to refuse Nara's invitation to the laurel tree!

After a long while, Nara Rinka slowly opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"It really is just the initial form of Susanoo... so it's just a skeleton? Ribs? Susanoo."

Old Man Madara, whose body had already been destroyed, had just demonstrated the abilities of [Susanoo (initial form)] multiple times during the battle.

It wasn't the "half-body Susanoo" he used at the beginning, but the rather simple "skeleton Susanoo" he used later.

However, this had no impact whatsoever on Nara Rangsei.

Is he concerned about whether Susanoo is complete or not?

of course not!

In terms of size and height, the Black Warrior created by Nara Rinkei using the Shadow Transformation Technique is not much inferior to the real Susanoo.

Of course, things like "Kami-mighty Susanoo", "Mighty Susanoo", "Ultimate Susanoo"... are another matter.

Nara's Black Warrior is at best comparable to a fourth-stage Susanoo, not even reaching the level of a complete Susanoo...

The complete Susanoo used by Madara Uchiha in the Fourth Shinobi World War was a full 100 meters tall.

Nara is still far from being able to fully realize its potential!

However, this A-rank technique, Susanoo (initial form), is an invaluable acquisition for Nara Rangsuke.

Three points are highlighted in this surgical technique scroll.

First, naturally, is the method of converting "eye power".

Nara Rinka's Yin Release chakra originates from the Nara clan's "Shadow Techniques," which are primarily manifested as "shadows."

This is profoundly reflected in the many shadow techniques created by Nara Rinkei.

However, the Uchiha clan, with their "extraordinary talents," took a different path.

The Nara clan did not possess any special bloodline from birth; they could only develop shadow techniques belonging to the Yin Release style through learning and research.

The reputation of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan needs no further explanation.

According to the personal research of the famous "Uchiha scholar" Tobirama Senju, the so-called "Sharingan" is actually a special kind of chakra released by the brain of Uchiha clan ninjas when they are subjected to severe stimulation.

This special chakra affected the optic nerves of the Uchiha clan ninjas, causing a change in the appearance of their pupils. This is the so-called "eye of the mind"—the Sharingan!

This "special chakra" is collectively referred to by the Uchiha clan ninjas as "eye power".

To be precise.

Whether it's "Shadow Chakra" or "Eye Power," they are essentially both types of Yin Release Chakra, differing only in subtle ways.

Just like Nara Rinka, who clearly didn't have "eye power," he could still manipulate many Yin Release techniques through his "lacquer eyes."

If he wanted, he could actually name the Yin Release chakra he releases through his [Lacquer Eyes] specifically as... "Nara Eye Power"?

In short, the method of condensing pupil power has some effect on Nara Rinka, but the effect is not as great as imagined.

However, the content recorded immediately following the technique scroll of [Susanoo (Initial Form)] is not so simple.

In terms of the surgical results, this aspect is simply summarized as "using the ocular nervous system and meridian system as channels," which seems unremarkable.

But in reality, what kind of eyes are needed to control Susanoo?

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

That's right!

The contents recorded in this technique scroll cover a large amount of research on the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!

For this reason alone, the trip to Nara was worthwhile.

During the previous Hell Valley incident, Nara Rinkei obtained an S-rank miscellaneous item called "Blood Research," which contained a lot of research by the Blood Pond Clan on their generational bloodline limit, "Blood Dragon Eye."

Even without mentioning the history of the Blood Pond Clan being suppressed by the Uchiha Clan.

How can the "Blood Dragon Eye" of the Blood Pond Clan be compared to the "Mangekyou Sharingan" of the Uchiha Clan?

Nara Rinka originally planned to use his research on blood as a foundation to systematically improve his self-created A-rank technique, the "Lacquer Eye," and to raise its power to a level comparable to the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Now that he has obtained the technique scroll of [Susanoo (initial form)], Nara Rinka might be able to upgrade [Lacquer Eyes] to a level comparable to the Mangekyou Sharingan?

That was absolutely... amazing!

Well known.

In this ninja world ravaged by Gundams, eyes are the true key to ninjutsu!

Unless there's an old man selling cheats online.

Otherwise, a ninja without eyes, no matter how powerful, is just a fake.

I won't mention that Konoha dream-fulfilling master who got his head patted by Itachi Uchiha here...

As for the other new Sannin, who has neither eyes nor any special abilities, yet can still defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki with a single punch...

Even though the new Three Ninjas have nothing, she's confident enough!

cough cough.

As for the last bit of information recorded in the technique scroll of [Susanoo (Initial Form)],

Actually, it's nothing.

It's nothing more than Madara Uchiha's special technique for creating the Susanoo.

Specifically, it is the chakra materialization technique structure of Susanoo!

This point also played a very important role for Nara Rangsuke.

The Black Warrior of Nara Rinkazu is derived from the Shadow Transformation Technique.

However, the Shadow Transformation Technique has never been known for its chakra intensity.

The power of the Shadow Transformation Technique lies in its ability to "transform between reality and illusion" and its "ever-changing" nature.

Nara Rinkei has always used the Shadow Armor Technique to support the physical strength of his Black Warrior. Later, he developed the Rashomon and used it as the "external armor module" of the Black Warrior.

The Black Knight certainly has defensive strength, but that has little to do with the weapon itself; its strength lies only in its "external armor."

However, Nara Rinkachi has now obtained Uchiha Madara's materialization technique for Susanoo.

The strength of the Black Knight will also see a surge!

As for the Susanoo (initial form), it is just a "skeleton Susanoo".

In reality, Susanoo is Susanoo.

The difference between the defensive strength of the skeleton Susanoo and the defensive strength of the complete body Susanoo is simply the amount of chakra.

As long as there is enough Yin Release chakra (eye power), the defensive power of the skeleton Susanoo is no less than that of the complete Susanoo.

For Nara Rinka, obtaining the structure of the Susanoo's technique for materializing Yin Release chakra means that he can use less Yin Release chakra to achieve greater materialization hardness.

The Yin Release chakra that was saved can be used elsewhere or to further enhance the [Black Warrior], which is a very good use of it and can be considered a direct enhancement of the [Black Warrior]'s overall combat power.

"As expected of Madara Uchiha!"

Nara Rinka took a deep breath and reviewed the four gains she had just received.

"A-rank technique [Susanoo], condense 'eye power', amplify [Black Warrior], research S-rank [Lacquer Eye]."

"Rank A technique [Yin Release: Lightning Style], Yin Release is converted into lightning. You can try to see if the fusion of this lightning and water release can form [Storm Release], or... the fusion of Yin Release and water release!"

"The A-rank technique [Mayfly Technique] is relatively low in value, but it is still a very top-notch stealth and escape ninjutsu. It is quite useful for me now that I have mastered the power of [Wood Release]."

"As for the only Grade A miscellaneous item, the [Black Rod]..."

Nara Rinka took out the black rod, about a meter long and as thick as a thumb, from the lazy ghost's panel.

"If I remember correctly, this thing should be the 'chakra antenna' that Nagato used to control the Six Paths of Pain, and it is also the true form of the 'chakra weapon' that I have been considering before."

Long ago, Nara Rinkei had wanted to create his own "chakra weapon".

He commissioned Mrs. Cat to order the chakra metal sword "Little Jizo" from the swordsmiths of the Land of Iron.

But if it's just about transferring one's own chakra, what better tool is there than a dedicated chakra weapon?

The most fundamental point in forging a "chakra weapon" is to materialize chakra and maintain this state stably for a long time!

If it's just a chakra weapon that can only last for a minute or two...

What's the difference between that thing and regular ninjutsu?

Previously, Nara Rinkei was not entirely clueless about the forging of "chakra weapons".

【Dark Spiral Wheel】is his main source of inspiration.

Originating from the Tailed Beast Ball, and reversing the ratio of Yin Release and Yang Release chakra, the Dark Spiral Wheel almost maintains Yin Release and Yang Release in a state of extreme balance.

Nara Rinka originally intended to use the techniques of the Dark Spiral Wheel Technique to deduce another type of "chakra weapon" that could maintain a stable balance.

Unfortunately, the stability of the [Dark Spiral Wheel] is already extremely limited.

Using it to deduce the "Chakra Weapon" is even more difficult.

Surely Nara Rangsei wouldn't come up with some kind of "spherical weapon"?

The "chakra weapon" he desires most cannot be limited to just one special form.

The black rod obtained today in the mountain graveyard is essentially a "personalized chakra weapon" created by Madara Uchiha using his Yin-Yang Release technique. It is a divine artifact created using Yin-Yang Release.

Even with conventional ninjutsu, such as Yin Release, it is extremely difficult to make the effects of the technique permanent—or even to preserve them for a long time.

But Yin-Yang Escape is different!

The most striking example is the nine tailed beasts.

The nine tailed beasts are creatures created by the Sage of Six Paths using Yin-Yang Release.

The nine tailed beasts have existed in the ninja world for at least a thousand years!

This is the magical effect of Yin-Yang Escape.

According to Nara Rinka's intelligence, Yin-Yang Escape is indeed a very advanced ability.

There are very few people in the entire ninja world who can create something like this black rod in his hand.

All in all, there are only three: Madara Uchiha, Nagato, and Obito Uchiha.

All three of them have one thing in common: they all possess the Rinnegan (and a pair at that).

However, in reality, the [Black Rod] is not a chakra weapon that can only be forged by those who possess the Rinnegan.

Theoretically speaking, any ninja who possesses Yin Release or Yang Release chakra can use Yin Release to create such chakra weapons after learning Yin-Yang Release.

Nara Rinka gently twirled the black rod in her hand a few times, gazing at the group of busy clones.

"Hopefully, my collection of ninjutsu with age spots will give me another surprise..."

I'll just post one update today...

Let me take my time.

I took a day off yesterday, so today I'm only posting one chapter, meaning I still owe three more chapters.

So, if we're currently short of updates, is it 12?
