Grandiose manoeuvres were the most effective way to quickly decimate the opposing army. Karan concentrated intently with this strategic thought in mind, causing a remarkable transformation to occur around his body as a protective white chakra ribcage gradually materialised. A kunai struck it just as the ribcage was forming, resulting in a resounding BOOM upon the detonation of the attached Explosive tag.
When one of the Sunagakure ninjas saw Karan standing triumphant after defeating Ebizo, he immediately launched an attack with a kunai adorned with Explosive tags, hoping to catch Karan off guard. Nonetheless, how could a mere explosive tag possibly penetrate a Susanoo's impenetrable Ribcage?
A skeletal hand extended itself from the skeletal structure of the Susanoo's Ribcage, quickly grabbing the unfortunate ninja who attacked Karan. As the muscles on the skeletal hand began to grow and the ribcage gradually transformed into a half-body skeletal structure of human body, the skeletal hand covered in muscles tightened its grip on the ninja and eventually crushed the ninja, resulting in the ninja's instantaneous demise.
After witnessing the unfortunate ninja's horrifying demise, the assembled crowd gazed upon the awe-inspiring sight of the white skeletal half-body, now augmented by bulging muscles, reaching an astonishing height of nearly ten metres, all while Karan was safely positioned within this imposing construct.
"What in the world is this? A monstrous entity I've never seen before in my life, "One of the Sunagakure ninja exclaimed.
"He crushed him like an ant, utterly relentless," another Sunagakure ninja added.
Despite the general confusion caused by the presence of the imposing white skeleton before them, some perceived it as a malicious creature, while others suspected it to be a formidable summon summoned by Uchiha Karan. In stark contrast, Ebizo recognised the truth behind this skeletal marvel as something akin to the terrifying possession of the infamous Uchiha Madara.
During the tense moment when Ebizo was engaged in combat with Uchiha Karan, he noticed that Karan's eye was different from the typical Sharingan. He couldn't recall the exact significance of those eyes in the midst of the heated battle.
Everything became clear to him after observing the half-body skeletal structure.
"Mangekyo Sharingan! What on earth is the intelligent department doing? He awakened Mangekyo, and we remain completely unaware," Ebizo murmured in frustration.
While Ebizo was carefully analysing the situation, two swords materialised in the hands of Susanoo, Karan's formidable technique, in front of him and the Sunagakure ninjas. Susanoo swung the swords horizontally, dealing a lethal blow that claimed the lives of nearly twenty Sunagakure ninjas in a single slash from both swords at the same time.
The death of their comrades instilled rage in every Sunagakure ninja, prompting them to launch a relentless assault on Uchiha Karan using their various techniques. However, their efforts were futile in the face of Susanoo's impenetrable defence. The number of casualties under Susanoo's merciless might increased as the number of ninjas closing in on Karan increased. Karan continued to advance towards the heart of the battlefield, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
After much thought, Ebizo came to a singular conclusion: in order to defeat Karan, they must exhaust him. Any other course of action would inevitably result in a brutal massacre.
"Let us not approach him hastily! We are unable to breach his defences, and killing him appears to be impossible. Everyone will engage him from a long distance from now on, allowing him to deplete his Chakra reserves. Maintaining such a massive structure must take a significant amount of Chakra, making him vulnerable over time. We'll send reinforcements once he's worn down "Ebizo yelled, his commanding voice echoing across the battlefield, rallying his comrades to this strategic approach.
Each ninja initiated a strategic retreat as Ebizo's commanding voice echoed. When they received Ebizo's orders, they tactically switched to long-range attacks, avoiding coming within striking distance of Susanoo's formidable sword and confronting Karan head-on.
"You intend to prolong the battle in order to exhaust me. Unfortunately, you are all lost in a fanciful daydream "Karan stated.
One of Susanoo's swords vanished as Karan's assertive voice faded, making way for the appearance of three Tomoe shapes. When viewed from a distance, these mystical forms interconnected by a Chakra string resembled shurikens. Karan hurled them at the Sunagakure army without hesitation.
Yasaka Magatama was the mastermind behind this technique. When the Yasaka Magatama collided with the ground, it released a massive BOOM, annihilating everything within a 5-meter radius. Karan repeated this move three times more, unleashing a series of massive explosions. The targeted strikes were astutely directed at the enemy army's densest segments, culminating in the rapid decimation of numerous Sunagakure ninjas in less than a minute.
After witnessing this unprecedented display of power, Ebizo stood in stunned silence, unable to express his feelings. Fear gripped the other ninjas, who began to see themselves as potential targets, causing many to flee in panic. Karan strategically targeted the densest formations, causing them to scatter further and potentially avoiding additional attacks.
Uchiha Karan's Susanoo vanished as the Sunagakure ninjas scattered in confusion.
"After assessing the situation, I realise that using a half-body Susanoo against such a large number of opponents is impossible. Despite its chakra-draining nature and sluggishness, only a full-body Susanoo will do "After dismissing the Susanoo, Karan murmured thoughtfully.
