Chapter 114: Who Do You Think You Are?

Susanoo!

In the world of Naruto, the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular jutsu is now the very material Chu Yi uses to undergo seven awakenings!

A silver-tier Susanoo material!

Chu Yi was willing to exhaust his entire fortune to purchase this silver-ranked Susanoo material from the system store because of the effect Susanoo offers.

In the Naruto manga, Susanoo is a Mangekyō Sharingan technique that allows its wielder to instantly unleash a tangible chakra form, creating an impervious defense or an attack that ordinary people cannot rival.

However, Chu Yi did not transmigrate into the Naruto world; he possessed neither the Mangekyō Sharingan nor chakra. His use of Susanoo, a silver-tier material, to awaken was not about the original Susanoo itself.

What Chu Yi truly valued was the ability of Susanoo to materialize chakra.

If intangible chakra can be made tangible, then why couldn't the Shura Demon Statue, conceived through the Conceptual Fruit’s power, be fully materialized?

Admittedly, if Chu Yi trained methodically, honing the Conceptual Fruit’s power to its peak, the Shura Demon Statue could eventually become fully tangible—not merely a shadowy illusion.

But that required time, did it not?

Three days prior, Chu Yi knew he would face Whitebeard in battle. How could he afford to wait patiently, slowly cultivating to complete the Shura Demon Statue’s materialization?

Hence, he purchased the silver-tier Susanoo awakening material he had long coveted and immediately proceeded with seven awakenings.

After using the Susanoo material for seven awakenings, Chu Yi confirmed his intuition was correct.

The Susanoo material was the most suitable awakening material for him!

Almost at the very moment he used the Susanoo material to awaken, the fundamental fruit—previously fused only with the Conceptual Fruit’s powers—suddenly absorbed the abilities that came with the Susanoo material, achieving a qualitative leap!

From that moment onward, Chu Yi knew that fully materializing the Shura Demon Statue was no longer just an idea; it was something he could accomplish with a mere thought.

Yet, just as a Mangekyō Sharingan user in Naruto must gradually train to master Susanoo perfectly,

Chu Yi, even after seven awakenings, could not summon the tangible Shura Demon Statue instantly. He still needed time to progress.

Not long ago, Chu Yi’s body was suffused with black patterns, accompanied by a blood-red aura—a harbinger of the Shura Demon Statue’s materialization.

Or rather...

It was the prelude to Susanoo’s awakening in the Shura form, which Chu Yi called the Shura Susanoo mode.

When Zephon revealed the earth-shattering secret—that Chu Yi’s former clan had been wiped out by the Navy and that Zephon had slain many of his kin—

“Crack!”

A thunderclap echoed in Chu Yi’s mind.

Under the overwhelming tide of fury, the power of hatred flooded his consciousness!

In an instant, only one word remained in Chu Yi’s mind—

Kill!

Kill Zephon, kill the Navy, kill the Celestial Dragons!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

“Boom!”

A murderous intent soared into the sky!

What was most extraordinary was that, despite his mind being consumed by killing intent, Chu Yi could maintain composure before Zephon.

Then—

Using the Navy’s Rokushiki technique “Sori,” Zephon’s figure rapidly closed the distance to Chu Yi.

At that moment, Chu Yi, breaking through his internal barriers with surging murderous intent, sensed the approach of the Shura Susanoo.

Therefore—

As Zephon’s fist descended, Chu Yi caught the iron fist, accompanied by a Kirin shadow, with his bare palm with a resounding “Bang!”

And in the next moment—

“Sizzle... sizzle...”

A blood-red aura spread behind Chu Yi, weaving together to form a forest of white bones!

Upon closer inspection, the skeletal formation behind Chu Yi first manifested six fully formed arms, the bones of the palms solidified.

Slowly...

From Chu Yi’s front, the blood-red aura rapidly condensed into several sturdy ribs.

This—

Wasn’t this precisely the initial form of Susanoo in Naruto?

“I’ve broken through!”

“No, it’s not a breakthrough; I have mastered the true manifestation method of Shura Susanoo!”

“In Naruto, Uchiha Itachi’s Susanoo advanced so swiftly because of the power of hatred, the hidden murderous intent in his heart!”

“If that evil killing intent could make Itachi’s Susanoo stronger, then the murderous intent concealed within me will naturally strengthen my Shura Susanoo!”

“So, facing an enemy like Zephon, as my killing intent grows, my Shura Susanoo will rapidly progress—from the initial form, gradually evolving into the first form, then inching closer and closer to perfection!”

With this thought, Chu Yi’s crimson eyes locked onto Zephon. The purple glow reflected in his Shura eyes blossomed once more.

“Hum!”

If Zephon only sensed the terrifying killing intent hidden in Chu Yi’s crimson gaze—

Then the purple light radiating from Chu Yi’s Shura eyes was like a piercing beam that made Zephon feel as if his very soul had been laid bare!

Zephon’s response to this fear was—

An instinctive counterattack!

Clearly, a warrior like Zephon, when afraid, would not think of fleeing but rather striking back.

Because of this, as Chu Yi’s Shura Susanoo initially solidified, empowered by overwhelming killing intent and hatred, leaping directly into its initial form with ribs and hand bones forming, Zephon suddenly erupted with Armament Haki, simultaneously hardening both hands!

Then, at the very moment both hands completed their Armament Haki hardening—

“Roar!”

One red, one blue, two Kirin shadows thundered down upon the sturdy ribs of Chu Yi’s Shura Susanoo.

As for the result—

It was a shock to Chu Yi!

He had assumed his Shura Susanoo’s defense would be several times stronger than the Shura Demon Statue’s shadow, rendering Zephon’s fists incapable of breaking it.

Unexpectedly, as the twin Kirin shadows charged—

“Crack... crack...”

The ribs used for defense cracked audibly. Though not completely shattered, the fractures were enough to greatly boost Zephon’s confidence!

“You brat, no matter what you do, today is your death day!”

“Ha ha ha ha!”

With arrogant laughter, Zephon gathered his Armament Haki once more, preparing to repeat the same move to utterly crush Chu Yi’s Shura Susanoo defense.

But just as Zephon’s Armament Haki was restoring, ready to harden again—

“Boom!”

Chu Yi’s aura surged dramatically!

A terrifying killing intent radiated from his body once more. Fixing his gaze on Zephon, he sneered coldly:

“Many have wanted to kill me.”

Then—

Another “Boom!”

From the fractured ribs of the Shura Susanoo, a blue flame suddenly emerged!

Slowly raising a finger to point at the stunned Zephon, Chu Yi’s face bore a look of disdain as he spoke indifferently:

“Who do you think you are?”
