Ginkaku stood in the arena, his entire body's energy flowing like lava, two tufts of hair in front of his forehead perked up in the shape of fox ears.
His injuries had completely healed, his whole body shone with a red light, the exoskeleton on his skin trembled, emitting waves of powerful aura.
He silently chanted an incantation, and Shin'yu immediately felt the Purifying Rope on his left arm rapidly heating up. He immediately let go, and the rope actually wriggled on its own like a long snake, returning to Ginkaku's hand.
"He's got that too?" Staring at Ginkaku in this state, Shin'yu's expression became serious.
Ginkaku opened his mouth, and the Purifying Rope, Seven Star Sword, and the Kotodama floating in the air all shrunk down and were sucked into his mouth.
"I didn't expect that I would be forced to use my trump card!" Ginkaku's rough voice came from within the Skeleton mask.
"Amaterasu!" Uchiha Hikari seized the opportunity and released the long-brewing Amaterasu.

A ball of Black Flames appeared behind Ginkaku in the blink of an eye, but with a flash of red light, Ginkaku instantly disappeared from the spot, and Amaterasu missed, accidentally landing on Shin'yu.
With the Black Flames engulfing him, Shin'yu frowned, but before he could think too much, a violent wind suddenly rose before his eyes, and Ginkaku had already raised his fist and attacked him.
"Such speed!" Shin'yu's eyes tightened, and Chakra naturally surged to his legs.
The scarlet fist slammed down ferociously, as if drawing out all the air. Shin'yu's body was also torn apart, but Ginkaku let out a surprised "Eh."
"This feeling... wrong! It's an afterimage!"
He suddenly looked up, and Shin'yu had already leaped into the air above his head.
The red light on Ginkaku's back shone brightly, and a red tail completely formed from Tailed Beast Power emerged, lashing out at Shin'yu with a whoosh.
Shin'yu was unable to borrow strength in the air. He clasped his palms together, and the Jet Black figure flickered for a while, turning into two out of thin air, narrowly avoiding the tail.
"Phantom Body Flicker Technique!"
The two Shin'yu landed at the same time, and Chakra Blades wrapped in Jet Black flames slashed down. Ginkaku roared, and his red fist was as swift as thunder, colliding with Shin'yu's slash!
With a loud bang, the impact created a gust of wind, and visible light waves spread in all directions.
After entering this mode, Ginkaku's attack methods became unpredictable. It was no longer a simple Taijutsu attack. The powerful attack was mixed with pure Nine-Tails Chakra, with a full six tails, which could be described as elusive. It was obviously far from enough to simply use the "Gate of Injury" state in conjunction with Uchiha Style Swordsmanship to fight him.
"Fifth Gate of Limit, open!!!"
Shin'yu let out a low shout, and the cyan energy on his body became more intense. The airflow surged like wind, causing the ground to crack and float. He had done his best!
At this moment, he could instantly travel hundreds of meters with a single step, and shatter rocks and break gold with a flick of his finger!
Relying on the "Gate of Limit" state, he stubbornly entangled Ginkaku in "Nine-Tails Chakra Mode," and the two figures continued to split, two into four, four into eight... After a few rounds, a full sixteen identical figures surrounded Ginkaku.
Shin'yu was not in a hurry to activate the Reversal to extinguish Amaterasu. He had sparred with Uchiha Hikari for 5 years, during which he was burned by Amaterasu more than ten times. Under the adaptation of "Mahoraga," he already had a very high resistance.
Chakra Blades were certainly sharp, but facing a monster like Ginkaku with such abnormal recovery power, they were inevitably stretched thin. And Susanoo's movements were a little slow and consumed too much Eye Power. If he really wanted to hurt Ginkaku, he still had to rely on the Amaterasu on his body.
Just because Hikari couldn't hit Ginkaku didn't mean he couldn't!
Many clones were attacking and killing vertically and horizontally, and the cyan energy was mixed with Jet Black flames raging and burning. In just a moment, black fires ignited on Ginkaku's body.
Ginkaku was furious, constantly peeling off the Tailed Beast outer garment on his body to block the burning of Amaterasu. The two fought all the way, and bone fragments fell all the way. This method of abandoning his tail to survive made him feel extremely humiliated.
Under the siege of so many clones, even Ginkaku felt a headache. Although he used the tailless sweep, even if those clones were hit, they would not disappear. Their figures would fade for a moment and then attack again.
"This can't go on! This damned flame is consuming too much Chakra!"
Ginkaku crossed his arms, blocking in front of him, "Try this move of mine!"
He leaped up, his whole body bursting with red light, like a burning miniature sun, his six colored tails simultaneously slamming into the ground!
"Boom!"
The ground instantly shattered, and surging shockwaves swept in all directions. Red energy, like a torrential river, overturned everything, instantly engulfing all of Shin'yu's clones!
As the dust settled, Ginkaku was suddenly stunned. The sixteen figures stood unharmed in place, like bamboo that had broken through rock, without moving an inch.
Within the surging cyan energy, sixteen pairs of bloodshot eyes were coldly staring at him.
"This... how is this possible! Could they all be weightless afterimages? But why is every attack so heavy?"
"My Phantom Body Flicker Technique has no substance," Shin'yu's clones said in unison, raising their Chakra Blades, their movements perfectly synchronized. "But at the same time, you could say all the clones are real!"
"This monotonous way of attacking, you must be tired of it already." Shin'yu smiled slightly, his energy boiling and surging, as if draping him in an ink-green cloak.
"Let's play something new now. I ask you, should these clones use Susanoo?"
"What?" Ginkaku opened his mouth wide, as if this question was difficult to answer.
"Alright, I'll answer for you." The corner of Shin'yu's mouth curved into an arc. "The answer is, yes!"
Black gas churned like waves, and a full sixteen enormous Skeletons manifested from the ground. Unlike the ribs and arms from before, Shin'yu activated the first stage of Susanoo, sixteen half-bodied Skeletons seeming to crawl out of the abyss, forming a huge encirclement.
The black Skeletons roared in unison, each Skeleton having four arms, covered in Black Flames!
Ginkaku's scalp tingled, and he didn't dare to take it head-on, turning into a golden light as he twisted and turned.
Shin'yu folded his arms, standing inside Susanoo. Under the cover of the black gas, Ginkaku couldn't see his face clearly, nor could he see the glistening beads of sweat hanging from his forehead.
The so-called Phantom Body Flicker Technique is an afterimage formed by constant high-speed movement, and then using Genjutsu to cover up the traces left by the displacement. The visual effect is like being surrounded by real clones.
In reality, the true body's position only appears at the moment of attack.
At any given moment, Ginkaku is only subjected to one attack. However, when he takes the opportunity to counterattack, Shin'yu uses Body Flicker Technique or "Ame no Tokotachi" to move back into an afterimage, creating the illusion that the clones cannot be destroyed.
Although the effect of this move is significant, the consumption is extremely alarming. Leaving behind his own afterimages is fine, but now he has to take care of Susanoo and maintain the Gate of Limit. The consumption this brings is simply not the same.
You must know that once the Eight Gates Release Formation is opened to the Gate of Injury, the body begins to suffer damage, entering the danger zone of the Eight Gates Release Formation, truly entering the Eight Gates Release Formation state.
Right now, not only is his Chakra being consumed rapidly, but he also has to endure the pain of muscle tearing at all times. All the cells in his body are aching faintly, which is a side effect of Susanoo.
If it weren't for the Eye Technique "Ame no Tokotachi", he wouldn't dare to play like this.
"Boom boom boom—"
Countless fists poured down like a storm, and in a series of roars, the ground continued to explode. Ginkaku finally revealed a flaw.
Although his movement could be called godlike, he was still unable to escape this almost inescapable attack. With a loud bang, he was slapped into the ground, like a red thumbtack.
In order to avoid continuous contact with Amaterasu, Ginkaku immediately遁入了地下 (Dùnrù le dìxià - dove into the ground), dodging the attack while also quickly searching for Shin'yu's true body.
"Damn it, how can this brat be so terrifying, where is his real body!" Ginkaku turned into a loach, constantly having black fists smash into the ground and attack him. "That's right, I can use that move, concentrate my mind..."
Shin'yu, who was immersed in the attack, suddenly felt his eyelids twitch. A beam of red light broke through the ground, heading straight for himself inside Susanoo. The speed was so fast that he couldn't react at all. He instantly met a pair of eyes full of violent desire.
"Found you!" Ginkaku appeared before him, an exaggerated grin on his face.
With a "Pfft (Pū cī)" sound, Shin'yu's heart was pierced by a bone claw, blood scattering across the sky, his body flying far away, the sixteen tall, half-bodied Skeletons instantly disappearing.
"Kid, no one can match this great one's speed!"
"Is that so? Whatever, do as you please."
Shin'yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the Mangekyo in his right eye quietly turning.
An astonishing scene appeared, his condition instantly returning to full, bloodstains disappearing, his flushed body returning to fair, the Black Flames and cyan energy on his body extinguished, even the Eight Gates Release Formation was released.
His aura was deep, as steady as Mount Tai.
His blood energy was vigorous, contained but not released.
Ginkaku stared blankly at Shin'yu, who had recovered to his peak condition in seconds, dumbfounded.
The current Shin'yu had a commanding presence, calm and unhurried, just like when he had first entered the battle.
Just a moment ago, he had looked like he was seriously injured and on the verge of death...
"What kind of damned Physical Body is this!" Ginkaku was somewhat beside himself, exasperated, "Could it be that you also possess Tailed Beast Power!"
"I'm truly sorry..." Shin'yu calmly moved his wrist, his calm eyes revealing a hint of indifference.
"I forgot to tell you, I... I am Invincible."
