However, Akihara Kagura showed no urgency, controlling the white Susanoo statue to extend a giant wooden palm, gently placing it on the meteor...
Earth Release: Super Lightweight Rock Jutsu instantly reduced the gravity of a meteor to the lightest, catching them one by one with ease!
"Hashirama!"
Uchiha Madara suddenly looked at his friend!
"I know!"
Senju Hashirama immediately understood Uchiha Madara's intention!
The blue Susanoo statue instantly stretched out countless hands clad in blue armor, some even holding massive samurai blades!
However...
Akihara Kagura remained calm and unruffled.
For the giant hand of the white Susanoo statue had completed its hand seal.
The sea suddenly surged upwards!
A tidal wave towering over a thousand meters high rolled up in an instant, like an apocalyptic calamity, forming a massive water wall that blocked the advance of the blue Susanoo statue!
"A Water Array Wall using the power of the True Thousand Hands..."
Senju Hashirama instantly recognized this jutsu, his heart filled with tumultuous waves. What level of Chakra, what level of Chakra control could achieve hand seals with the True Thousand Hands!
"Slash it open!"
Uchiha Madara manipulated the Blue Statue's arm, which held a massive samurai blade, and with one slash, the over-thousand-meter-high wave was split in two!
Regardless of how strong this Water Release is!
It still takes just one stroke from Susanoo to cut it!
Even the sword-drawing slash of the Complete Form of Susanoo could cleave mountains and rivers, not to mention the True Thousand Hands in its peak state right now!
The over-thousand-meter-high wave collapsed after being slashed and swept toward all the spectators, with Yamato gazing in terror at the wave crashing down!
Fortunately.
Everyone present was strong.
The Eight-tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee transformed into a fully tailed beast form, becoming a giant ox-bodied octopus, scooping up each ninja!
"This battle isn't one we can watch!"
Yamato looked at the duel between two towering Susanoo statues, speaking hastily: "We should retreat to a safe place now!"
"..."
Senju Tobirama shook his head, walking atop the water as if it were solid ground: "But this battle is vital to the fate of the Ninja World..."
No matter what...
He had to stay and watch it end!
This is the most terrifying battle in a thousand years!
The strongest duo from the previous era, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, joined forces against the new god of ninja in this terror-inducing era, Akihara Kagura!
This battle...
No one who saw it would want to leave!
On the other hand.
The battle on this side had already commenced.
After Turtle Island completely submerged, Uchiha Sasuke, amid Uchiha Itachi's pursuit and occasional guidance, finally located Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Sasuke also saw the red-eyed crow on Uchiha Shisui's shoulder and immediately intended to borrow the Mangekyo Sharingan from the crow.
"Sasuke, don't rush to battle."
Shisui looked at the duel between the two towering Susanoo statues in the distance, speaking in a low voice: "At least wait until that battle over there is finished?"
"Shisui, your Rinnegan..."
Uchiha Sasuke raised his eyes, scanning Uchiha Shisui and several figures beside him, among them some familiar faces, all possessing the Rinnegan.
"Because I am his puppet."
Uchiha Shisui looked at the distant battle's white Susanoo statue, unabashedly recounting the past: "The night I sought to die, Akihara Kagura saved me, making me into a Rinnegan puppet..."
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke had indeed heard about something like this.
There's talk of a guy named Nagato who also fought using Rinnegan-controlled puppets, and it seems Akihara Kagura is no exception. His most terrifying puppet, named Salamander Hanzo, even stood with the Ninja Alliance.
Evidently.
Salamander Hanzo was among them.
Puppets with Rinnegan always possess strange abilities!
As Uchiha Sasuke hesitated, a group of ninjas rushing to provide support saw Uchiha Sasuke confronting six figures!
Everyone's expressions shifted instantly!
After all...
Salamander Hanzo had just been slapped here!
"Akihara Kagura created these Six Paths Puppets?"
Jiraiya immediately recognized their identities based on Salamander Hanzo, their numbers, and their eyes: "Are all the puppets gathered here?"
"But...these identities are truly astounding..."
Orochimaru's eyes moved over each figure, murmuring in admiration: "The talented Uchiha Shisui from the village was even turned into a puppet..."
"Shisui!"
Many recognized Uchiha Shisui!
Among them were many familiar faces, but none more instantly recognizable than Uchiha Shisui, the once-reputed foremost Uchiha genius of Konoha!
Now...
He was made into a puppet!
"And Red Sand Sasori..."
Gaara recalled how Red Sand Sasori had once helped abduct him!
"Kisame... and... Mangetsu..."
Terumi Mei looked at her village's two members, among them Hoshigaki Kisame, a traitorous ninja, unexpectedly present here.
