What is more, he had not even unleashed a complete Susanoo; merely summoning a single hand of Susanoo was enough to completely suppress Shukaku. He played with the Tailed Beasts as casually as if it were a toy, directly crushing the mighty Tailed Beast into nothingness!
The key point here was not just suppressing a Tailed Beast—that was not difficult for the truly powerful. The key was the crushing! A total, absolute crushing, executed with such a casual attitude and overwhelming power that he toyed with it like a toy or crushed a rat at will.
Such power! This level of strength had already surpassed Uchiha Madara without the Rinnegan. How immense was this might? The strongest among the strong, the ninja among ninjas, the Uchiha among Uchiha, the human among humans! Even Black Zetsu could not comprehend how a mere Uchiha—someone who was not the reincarnation of any mighty figure, but simply a nobody from the Uchiha clan—could grow so powerful, reaching such a superhuman realm.
