Susano'o is a technique that creates a spiritual being resembling a yamabushi weilding the sacred, a mirror that's considered one of the three sacred treasures capable of reflecting all attacks, including Sasuke's final attack with the Kirin, as a shield in its left hand, and in its right, the legendary , also known as the. The Totsuga no Tsurugi, commonly sheathed in a sake jar held by a third hand growing from Susano'o's right forearm, is an ethereal weapon with an enchanted blade capable of sealing anything it pierces in an eternal dream-like illusion, and is described as the perfect counter to Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword. Zetsu does however admit that this is only a legend, similar to how the Dead Demon Consuming Seal is said to imprison the souls of people inside the belly of a shinigami. Like the Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi, Susano'o is the third and final ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Influence
Similar to other Mangekyo Sharingan abilities, Sunano'o was taken from Japanese mythology. Susano'o the god of sea and storms was the brother of Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi, with Susano'o born from Izanagi washing his nose.
