"What?!"

Kakashi, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi were all stunned.

"Haru... what did you just say?"

They could hardly believe their ears.

He said not to interfere—and that he would face all six enemies alone?

Was that even possible?

Each of the six enemies was already at a level far beyond ordinary comprehension. Even if one of them stood out as the strongest, the rest were no weaklings. Their combined force was nothing to underestimate.

Could Uchiha Haru really take them all on... by himself?

They didn't know. Even Might Guy, who had witnessed Haru's strength more than anyone else, hesitated for a moment.

But then, seeing Haru's calm and resolute expression, they knew: he meant every word.

Uchiha Haru truly intended to take on the Six Paths of Pain alone.

And maybe... just maybe, he could actually do it.

Just like always, Haru was about to shatter their understanding once again.

Doing things none of them had ever dared to imagine.

Yes... this time, too—he would succeed!

In the center of the battlefield, the fighting had grown intense.

Many villagers who had initially fled the Chunin Exam stadium found themselves rooted to the spot, compelled by the chaotic spectacle before them.

They had witnessed firsthand: the black-robed figure with red clouds attacking the ninja of Konoha.

Kakashi Hatake, the village's recognized genius, had stepped forward.

Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the Third Hokage, had joined in.

And Might Guy, the village's revered taijutsu master, had entered the fray.

Yet none of it had worked.

Not a single one of them had been able to halt the enemy's advance.

And then, at that very moment...

It was Uchiha Haru—the very man who had once led the Uchiha Clan away from Konoha—who stepped forward and blocked the enemy's assault.

Right before the eyes of Konoha's citizens.

They were left with a mix of emotions. Confusion. Guilt. Gratitude.

Never would they have imagined that the one to protect them in their darkest hour would be the same man who had once been cast out—ostracized, slandered, and driven away from the village.

Many couldn't forget how the Uchiha Clan had been forced to leave Konoha after that infamous council meeting.

And yet, here was Uchiha Haru, standing in the line of fire.

Among the onlookers were many of the young Chunin Exam participants.

Hyuga Hinata. Hyuga Neji. Uchiha Sasuke. Haruno Sakura.

Most of them were still rooted in place, unable to tear their eyes away.

The foreign ninjas had mostly withdrawn due to the chaos, but the Konoha genin remained. They watched in silent awe as the battlefield unfolded.

Their teachers—those they had always admired and looked up to—were utterly powerless in the face of the enemy. They hadn't even managed a single decisive blow.

And yet, the same enemy who had crushed their mentors stood no chance before Uchiha Haru.

He didn't even move.

Just standing there... the enemy couldn't even make a move.

The difference was overwhelming. It shook them to the core.

From the Hidden Mist Village side, Kimimaro, Chojuro, and Karin looked on with expressions of pride.

That was their teacher.

No ordinary man could ever compare.

Uchiha Sasuke, staring at Haru's back, fell into a daze.

Because at that moment, he realized—Uchiha Haru wasn't the monster the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had described.

He was something else entirely.

In the center of the venue, the battle had begun.

Uchiha Haru stood face-to-face with the Six Paths of Pain.

They shared vision. Shared thoughts. Each had distinct abilities.

Their teamwork and synchronization made their combined combat power far greater than the sum of their parts.

But still... it wasn't enough.

After a brief exchange, Haru had already gauged the nature of their abilities.

He no longer intended to drag the battle out.

His eyes flashed red.

The three tomoe rotated and merged—forming a sharp, blade-like ring.

Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

And at the same moment, a colossal black shadow rose behind him.

Clad in ornate armor and wielding a spear, it looked like a general returned from a thousand blood-drenched wars.

The sheer aura was suffocating.

Each movement reverberated with world-breaking force.

But it didn't stop there.

The shadow began to evolve.

Two demonic heads rose from either shoulder. The original two arms split and multiplied into eight.

The transformation was terrifying.

What had once looked like a battle-hardened warrior now resembled a wrathful god—no, a demon king ruling over chaos.

The mere sight sent chills down everyone's spine.

"This is... the complete Susanoo!"

Kakashi's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't hide the tremble in his voice.

He wasn't of the Uchiha bloodline, but he bore a Sharingan. Because of that, he had read and studied countless documents related to it.

Some texts described the ultimate manifestation of Susanoo.

He had always assumed it was mere myth. Even if it had existed, surely no one alive could awaken such power again.

The last recorded user had been none other than the legendary Uchiha Madara.

And who in this world could rival Madara Uchiha?

Yet now... before his very eyes... he saw it.

The complete Susanoo.

Its form. Its force. Its presence.

It was nothing short of divine.

Now, Kakashi understood.

Why Haru had dared to openly declare his relationship with Kurenai Yuhi in front of the entire Chunin Exam crowd—and had done so without the slightest concern.

No fear of consequences.

No fear of retribution.

Because... who would dare oppose him?

All of this stemmed from strength.

When you possess power great enough to overlook everything, you can do whatever you wish.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen—his conspiracies, his strategies—they meant nothing in the face of overwhelming force.

Absolute strength is enough to crush all opposition!

Asuma, Might Guy, and Kurenai Yuhi all stood frozen, stunned by the sight before them.

They had no idea what the massive black shadow truly was.

But they could feel it—its sheer, suffocating power.

Especially Asuma.

He was different from the others.

Because of Kurenai Yuhi, he had once harbored jealousy toward Uchiha Haru.

Back then, he had believed that Haru's strength was, at most, comparable to his own. He was just better-looking, which is how he'd managed to steal Kurenai away.

Then came the incident with the envoy from the Hidden Cloud Village, when they tried to abduct Hinata Hyuga.

That day, Asuma finally saw it—the massive, undeniable gap between himself and Uchiha Haru.

But even then, he had refused to accept it.

Sure, Haru was stronger. But maybe it was only temporary. Maybe Asuma still had a chance to catch up.

Then Haru led the entire Uchiha clan out of Konoha.

From that day on, Asuma resolved to train harder than ever before, determined to close the gap. And he did improve—by a lot.

At that time, he believed he'd finally caught up.

He told himself that if he and Haru were to meet again, he wouldn't be inferior anymore.

But when they crossed paths again during the search for Tsunade...

He realized he'd been completely, utterly wrong.

While he'd been celebrating his own progress, proud of small accomplishments...

Uchiha Haru had already ascended to a realm beyond imagination.

The realization hit him hard.

And now—after witnessing Haru's performance today—forget catching up. He couldn't even see the man's shadow anymore.

But strangely, all the jealousy, frustration, and disappointment that had once gnawed at him... vanished.

There was nothing left but respect.

In hindsight, it felt like a blessing—no, a fortune—to have known such a legendary shinobi during his lifetime.

Up in the stands, the villagers of Konoha were equally stirred. The towering black figure radiated divinity, like a god sent to protect them.

At this critical moment, someone had stepped forward to shield the village.

This wasn't some dark omen—this was their guardian deity.

"Mom! Mom! Who is that?!"

"So cool!"

The children of Konoha tugged at their parents' sleeves, eyes wide in awe as they stared at the field.

And the adults smiled, voices filled with emotion as they answered:

"His name is Uchiha Haru. He's the hero of our Hidden Leaf!"

...

Tendo Pain—leader of the Akatsuki, wielder of the Rinnegan—stared up at the massive black figure looming before him like a wrathful god, and for the first time, his ever-calm expression cracked with solemnity.

The oppressive pressure radiating from the figure was suffocating, and a deep sense of danger surged through him—a sensation he had not felt since awakening the full power of the Rinnegan.

It made him uncomfortable.

Such feelings had no place in someone like him.

He was invincible. He wielded the Rinnegan!

But just as he prepared to command all Six Paths of Pain to launch a full assault on Uchiha Haru, the giant moved.

The massive body shifted, each motion heavy enough to quake the very earth.

The shadow—now unmistakably a complete Susanoo—had eight muscular arms, each wielding a massive spear.

All eight spears pointed downward, aimed directly at the Six Paths of Pain.

The oppressive atmosphere intensified. The feeling of impending doom surged again.

Tendo Pain clenched his fists.

No—it's impossible.

There's no way.

He had the Rinnegan. He had Shinra Tensei!

What could possibly hurt him?

...And yet.

The sense of dread didn't go away.

In fact, it grew stronger.

He couldn't explain it, but he knew: if Uchiha Haru chose to strike... he might not survive.

"Wood Release: Cutting Technique."

Haru didn't need to form a single hand seal.

The ground beneath the Six Paths of Pain erupted as vines and thick branches burst forth, twisting upward with violent speed. In seconds, they formed a dome-like prison around the enemies.

Pein's bodies reacted instantly, tearing through the prison with ease.

Just as Shinra Tensei was useless against Haru, Haru's basic ninjutsu barely fazed the Six Paths of Pain. The wooden dome shattered the moment it was formed, gone in less than a second.

But that brief instant—that flicker of time—was all Haru needed.

This is the essence of a true master's battle.

For average shinobi, a second meant nothing—too quick to act upon, too fleeting to matter.

But in the hands of a true powerhouse, a single second could tip the scales of war.

Haru made only two moves in that split-second.

Two simple actions.

But they would determine the outcome of the entire battle.

First: he raised one of the massive spears, aligning it with the Six Paths of Pain on the ground.

Second: he threw it.
