Chapter 26: Susanoo

Just a few minutes ago, when the wall was breached, a helicopter had quietly arrived in the airspace above the scene.

Inside the cabin, a young female reporter was reporting the latest situation to the camera quickly and clearly, her voice tinged with barely contained excitement and indignation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Cathy Black, currently broadcasting live from above the Kaiju invasion site. Just now, you also saw it—the Hai An Fang Yu Qiang, built by the government at great expense, collapsed with a bang in less than ten minutes under the Kaiju's attack!"

Saying this, Cathy's tone became even sharper.

"This so-called 'Gang Tie Chang Cheng,' the government claimed it could withstand all Kaiju attacks and provide us with solid protection. But the facts prove this is just another lie woven by the officials! The taxpayers' money has just gone down the drain, while our safety is still under enormous threat!"

The camera shook, and the view quickly swept over the collapsed wall, finally settling on the rampaging Kaiju. Only to see that colossus crushing toward the city center at an astonishing speed; wherever it passed, buildings collapsed with a bang like fragile building blocks.

"Oh my God, the Kaiju has broken through the coastal defense line and is advancing toward the city center!" Cathy's voice trembled slightly, but she was still trying her best to stay calm. "Judging by its speed, it won't be long before it reaches the most densely populated area. The consequences will be unimaginable!"

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in the corner of the camera. The cameraman immediately realized what it was and quickly zoomed in, locking onto that figure.

"Wait, who is that? Why is he running toward the Kaiju?" Cathy's voice carried a hint of disbelief: "He seems to intend to fight the Kaiju alone?! This is practically suicide!"

However, to everyone's surprise, at the moment the Kaiju launched an attack on the man, the man's hands suddenly formed hand seals quickly, shouting an indistinct word from his mouth, and then two fire dragons were spat out from his mouth.

Boom!!

The fireball exploded on the Kaiju's face, erupting with a deafening roar. Rolling smoke obscured the Kaiju's figure, and the scene fell into chaos.

The helicopter shook violently, and Cathy had to grip the seat tightly. She stared with stark wide eyes, her mouth half open, her eyes full of disbelief and shock.

Her trembling finger pointed at the screen, stammering: "Is this real? That person... he... he was breathing fire just now?!"

She felt her worldview was completely overturned in this instant.

"Superhuman? Alien? Or some secret weapon?" Cathy muttered to herself, her brain in chaos. Countless hypotheses flashed through her mind, but none could explain the scene before her eyes.

But she knew that at this moment, she was witnessing the birth of a miracle, and she would become the one to record all of this!!

Just as she hadn't recovered yet, another unexpected change happened in the footage.

Boom—!

Only to see a deafening roar suddenly come from the smoke, and immediately, a huge figure rushed out from the smoke, sprinting toward the mysterious man.

Cathy tremblingly grabbed the walkie-talkie and gave orders to the pilot, her voice somewhat distorted.

"Quick, get closer! We need to record everything!" Cathy said firmly.

The pilot hesitated for a moment and reminded: "No! Going further might be dangerous!"

"Who cares!" Cathy impatiently interrupted him. "Listen, buddy, danger is the essence of news. What exclusive footage do you think we'd get if we stayed safely in the back? This is our chance to become famous! We'll go viral worldwide!"

Under Cathy's insistence, the helicopter began to cautiously approach the center of the battle. Cathy stared at the screen, afraid to miss any detail.

She looked toward the camera, took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice sound calm: "For a long time, the officials have been deceiving us, claiming that wall could withstand the Kaiju's attack. But the facts prove this is just a lie, a fragile lie."

"And now, at the moment when this lie is exposed and despair shrouds the entire city, a mysterious superhuman steps forward. He bravely faces the Kaiju, protecting this city with his own power, protecting all of us." "He is the true hero!"—Uchiha Fugaku watched as the "Virus"'s huge paw came crashing down on him with destructive force, his expression instantly becoming extremely solemn.

"It has to be like this!"

He gritted his teeth fiercely, the Three Tomoe in his eyes spun crazily, spinning to the extreme until they merged into one, forming a pinwheel-like pattern.

At the same time, he let out a low roar: "Susanoo!"

As soon as the words fell, a black chakra instantly condensed around him, visibly solidifying.

Chakra condensed rapidly behind him, and a blurry outline gradually emerged. Only to see a huge skeleton slowly condense out of the void, first a rib, then the spine, skull. In an instant, a half-body skeleton suddenly took shape, its arms crossed, bony palms steadily placed in front of it, striking a defensive posture.

Boom—!

Only to see Virus's huge paw heavily smash onto Susanoo's crossed arms, erupting with a destructive shockwave.

Wherever that shockwave passed, the air seemed to be instantly sucked out, emitting an ear-piercing screech.

Uchiha Fugaku felt an unprecedented huge force transmitted through Susanoo, so heavy it seemed about to crush his bones. He exerted all his strength to barely maintain Susanoo's form.

"Hiss" Fugaku sucked in a breath of cold air, his face turning somewhat pale.

The land beneath Susanoo's feet cracked inch by inch under this destructive impact, spider web-like cracks spreading like a tide in all directions, tearing the earth into pieces.

However, to everyone's surprise, this skeleton formed by chakra remained completely motionless! It stood firmly in place, hardheadedly taking this fatal blow.

At this moment, Virus's whole body suddenly pressed down, a greater force came from above, even Susanoo's skeleton emitted "crack crack" screams, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Not enough, this kind of Susanoo is not enough!"

Fugaku's eyes turned bloodshot, the pinwheel pattern in his Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly. He gritted his teeth, his face twisted by extreme anger.

"Rise!!" He roared hoarsely, straining his voice.

At this moment, the Mangekyou Sharingan spun crazily, surging eye power burst out from his eyes, rushing into Susanoo's skeleton like a flood.

Muscles as if alive, quickly covered every inch of Susanoo's bones, gradually filling out its form.

In an instant, the bone-white skeleton was gradually covered by dark brown muscles.

Roar! Susanoo suddenly let out a low roar, it used both arms to heave, actually lifting Virus's huge body off the ground.

"Boom—!"

Virus heavily fell to the ground, smashing out a huge pit, countless buildings turned to powder under this destructive impact.
