Afei couldn't understand how Ruri could activate the exclusive pupil technique of the Mangekyo Sharingan—Susanoo—while in the state of Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Although his brain structure wasn't exactly sharp to a certain extent, it didn't mean he couldn't think and use wisdom to fight.
Encountering something equally incomprehensible, he naturally felt astonishment and shock, feeling at a loss.
For instance, the Susanoo used by Ruri in front of him had already exceeded what he could comprehend.
Revered as the technique of the God of Destruction, one of the ultimate powers of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
In the information Madara told him, only Uchiha Ninja who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan should be able to use Susanoo.
Illusion Technique?
Was everything in front of him just an illusion created by falling into the opponent's Illusion Technique?
Afei couldn't help but seriously consider this question.
However, Ruri didn't let Afei ponder for long. The speed of the blood-red Chakra giant, contrary to its heavy and massive appearance, moved with extraordinary swiftness, its fist suddenly crashing down from the sky.
The ground was instantly destroyed, the fragments flying, and Afei was powerless to resist the gusts lifted, being blown hundreds of meters away before awkwardly halting his retreating body.
"You've got to be kidding. This is no illusion at all!"
Meaning, the Susanoo in front of him was real.
Afei looked up and locked eyes with Ruri standing atop the blood-red Chakra giant. Those scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan eyes seemed to have a mysterious power, making Afei's body tense up.
All around were the enormous Three-Tomoe Sharingan eyes, staring at him with a cold gaze, as the sky turned into a dark domain, blades ravaging his body, splattering countless blood.
Though it was just for a brief moment, Afei knew he was caught in an Illusion Technique, as the blood-red giant fist approached once more.
This time it was impossible to dodge, as the Illusion Technique had delayed his escape opportunity.
To think that just with the state of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, an Illusion Technique could restrict his body—truly frightening.
As it stood, he had no choice but to fight with all his might now.
If he intended to probe the opponent's strength and trump cards by muddling through slowly, that would undoubtedly be the dumbest decision.
Boom!
The thick dust from the explosion covered the view in front, causing Ruri to be unable to see any situation clearly in the dust cloud.
But she did feel the Susanoo giant she controlled was met with a strong, powerful force of resistance.
So, she slightly lifted the corner of her mouth, revealing a faint smile.
Finally, it has been used—the Wood Style Secret Jutsu of legendary fame that pacified the chaos of the world.
Ruri had long been itching to try out the legendary Power of Wood Style.
In the yet-to-settle dust, a gigantic figure was faintly visible, looking distinguished and formidable.
Once all the dust cleared away, the massive wooden figure manifested entirely, standing slightly taller than the Susanoo giant Ruri had conjured.
"I actually didn't want to use it this early, to be honest."
Afei scratched his head, seemingly troubled by being forced to reveal his ace so soon.
After all, some of his Wood Style information had already leaked after the last battle.
Thus, he intended to use delaying tactics to explore Ruri's trump cards as much as possible. Otherwise, this battle would be very passive for him.
However, Ruri's large-scale Fire Style Jutsu and the display of Susanoo completely disrupted his tactical arrangements.
With things as they are, he could only brace himself for a fierce showdown with the opponent.
"Hiding your trump card in front of me is meaningless, but I'm quite curious about who is the one on your side possessing the Sharingan?"
Ruri stood atop Susanoo, her hands naturally lowered.
"I can't disclose such information."
Afei knew he couldn't let Madara's information leak a bit, or else it would absolutely evolve into a massive trouble.
"It's alright, I'll make you say it."
Ruri affirmed, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan flashing with an icy and captivating gleam.
Afei swallowed hard, even though it was just a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he truly felt that those eyes shouldn't be judged with common sense.
Which is precisely why he couldn't fathom the limit of Ruri's strength.
To consider these eyes as just ordinary Sharingan would certainly lead to his terrible death.
This, Afei was well aware of.
However, merely knowing this piece of information had already been ample reward.
After all, activating Susanoo with just the Three-Tomoe Sharingan was something Afei had never heard of.
While Afei was lost in thought, Ruri's attacks commenced once again fiercely.
Compared to pondering so-called tactics, Ruri always sought the enemy's weakness while in battle, simply by exerting a strong dominant position to force the enemy to expose a flaw.
This was far more directly effective than merely thinking.
After all, the battle is ever-changing, and much information can't be used as a reference.
For instance, facing a ninja like Hakushi, you would never know what traps he hidden on him.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Faced with Ruri's fierce attack, Afei didn't appear too flustered.
Earlier events were just too unexpected, causing slight unrest in his heart; now regaining his calm, with his power of Wood Style, he wasn't going to lose.
There are precedents of Wood Style defeating Susanoo.
