This time, Hiruko was clearly much better prepared. With a single thought from him.
The body of Susanoo, which had originally been nothing more than a skeleton, actually began to grow flesh and blood, becoming more and more powerful and lifelike.
Only a loud "BOOM" was heard, a heavy sound exploding in the air like thunder.
The light arrow slammed hard into Susanoo's crossed arms, splashing countless points of light.
Even so, this tremendous impact still made it impossible for Hiruko to keep his footing.
His entire body was pushed backward nonstop, and the ground beneath his feet shattered one after another from the unbearable pressure.
Before Hiruko could even catch his breath, in the very next moment, something even more terrifying happened.
While he was doing everything he could to block the light arrow, someone had actually approached him silently.
This person had a garlic-shaped nose and short hair.
What stood out the most were his eyes, with four-bladed pinwheel patterns spinning rapidly in his pupils.
"Kotoamatsukami!"
A dazzling brilliance suddenly burst forth from Shisui's eyes.
That light was like the most scorching sunlight of midsummer, pouring down on Hiruko without restraint.
In Hiruko's vision, the entire world was engulfed by this blinding golden light, leaving him nowhere to escape.
'This dojutsu!'
Endless fear surged up in Hiruko's heart.
His eyes went wide, his mouth opened as far as it could, but all he could let out was a heart-rending scream, "Ahhhhh!"
He had thought he had avoided this dojutsu when Rengoku used it, but never expected that this time it would be Shisui himself using it.
Hiruko had just fought with Chimera earlier, and his mental state was already poor.
After suffering such a heavy blow, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed straight toward the ground.
But a pitch-black body suddenly shot out from the ground and wrapped him up.
It was Black Zetsu.
After enveloping Hiruko, it quickly sank into the earth and escaped from here using the Mayfly Technique.
Seeing this, Makumi knew there was no way to chase them down.
He immediately turned his attention back to Onoki's side and once again bent his bow and nocked an arrow.
Since Shisui had already revealed himself, he directly joined the battle.
His hands rapidly formed seals, fingers clasping together: Phantom Body Flicker Technique!
Countless afterimages formed on his body and flew out, beginning to clear out the nearby Iwagakure forces.
"The Hokage has arrived!"
"That's great! Roshi has been taken down!"
"It's Uchiha Shisui!"
"My god! How is it him?"
"Wasn't he dead?"
"It's the Hokage!"
"That's Shisui of the Body Flicker! He's not dead?"
"Makumi is a Mangekyo Sharingan expert!"
The others in the unit had no idea about the existence of Rengoku, Shisui, and Makumi.
When they suddenly appeared on the battlefield, everyone became instantly excited, as if injected with a powerful stimulant.
You had to know that Rengoku was supposed to be on another battlefield, yet he appeared here at this moment. It was completely unexpected.
The title of the strongest in the ninja world, Konoha's Fifth Hokage, spoke for itself.
Moreover, it had only been five short years since Shisui's death. Or more accurately, disappearance, since his body had never been found.
His resounding name was still deeply engraved in many people's minds.
Those who came to fight were very clear about how many powerful experts their village actually had.
After all, everyone understood the logic of enjoying the shade under a big tree.
As long as they stuck close to those big shots with Mangekyo Sharingan, their chances of survival would undoubtedly increase greatly.
And Makumi himself had long been ranked among the top tier below the Uchiha clan's Mangekyo Sharingan users. His reputation went without saying.
However, what no one expected was that at this very moment, he would bring everyone an even bigger surprise.
It turned out that he also possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan.
With this, Konoha's side could truly be said to be packed with experts. Morale soared, momentum surged like a rainbow, unstoppable.
Looking at Iwagakure's side, they were beaten back again and again, completely unable to fight back.
Especially with one of their own jinchuriki dead, their morale hit rock bottom.
Onoki watched as his forces collapsed step by step, secretly crying out in misery.
Only at this moment did he realize that everything Zetsu had said before was completely true.
But even with the situation already this critical, Onoki still remained calm and did not panic.
Because he knew very well that if he himself lost his composure at this crucial moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Roshi! Stop pretending to be dead!", Onoki shouted angrily with a dark expression.
The Roshi who had been lying stiffly on the ground just moments ago suddenly sat up slowly, like a zombie.
"Cough! Cough!"
Along with violent coughing sounds, rolling magma began to emerge around Roshi's body.
The scorching heat was as if it could ignite the surrounding air.
And the terrifying hole in his abdomen had now been filled with thick magma.
Even so, he did not look fine at all.
That weathered face was filled with pain, his body swayed unsteadily, looking extremely weak.
It turned out that this was Roshi's unique Lava Release Chakra Mode.
In this mode, he could use the power of magma to fill damaged areas.
Unfortunately, while magma could temporarily block the wound, it could not regenerate the internal organs that had already disappeared.
In other words, Roshi's life had already quietly entered a countdown.
"You damn old bastard, I knew that as long as you got the chance, you would definitely make a move on me!"
Roshi glared at Onoki with eyes wide open, raging fury burning within them. His words also carried more than a bit of resentment.
"Hmph! Stop being stupid here! How could I possibly just watch you fall into the hands of that bunch of Uchiha?"
Onoki snorted coldly and was about to continue speaking.
Suddenly, a dazzling black-red light arrow shot toward him like lightning.
At the critical moment, Roshi suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a massive magma fireball.
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, accompanied by a deafening explosion.
That ferocious light arrow was blown to pieces on the spot.
At the same time, although Onoki had also managed to dodge in time.
There was no doubt that Roshi's action had saved him.
"That's exactly why I don't like you at all!", Roshi snorted angrily, glaring furiously at Onoki ahead.
He naturally knew very well that Onoki had always valued the village above everything else and would never tolerate anyone causing harm to it.
Especially at a critical moment like this, even if the other party was someone extremely close to him, even Kitsuchi or Kurotsuchi.
As long as Onoki believed they threatened the village's safety, he would definitely strike them down without the slightest mercy.
