Sasuke was witnessing something astonishing.
Normally, unless a large amount of blood was flowing out, drops of blood falling onto the ground would be absorbed quickly.
Yet what was happening before him defied common sense.
The blood dripping from the wound on Chiyo's wrist was not being absorbed by the ground. Instead, it was floating above it!
No wonder Sasuke was so shocked.
Before long, a small pool of blood had gathered on the ground beneath Chiyo's feet.
"Sasuke, I hope you can still withstand my next attack!"
Chiyo, who had been looking down, suddenly spoke in an inexplicable tone.
At that moment, every strand of her light yellow, medium-length hair had begun to stand on end.
An immensely dangerous aura began to spread from Chiyo's body.
In an instant, Sasuke felt from Chiyo the same oppressive force Ohm had given him before activating the first stage of the Heavenly Curse Mark.
That made Sasuke immediately realize that Chiyo might be far stronger than he had imagined.
Not only was she stronger than him in genjutsu, but her overall strength was certainly no weaker than Orochimaru's subordinate before those strange markings had appeared on his body!
Faced with such immense pressure, cold sweat continuously streamed down Sasuke's forehead.
More importantly, the pool of blood beneath Chiyo's feet gave Sasuke an even greater sense of pressure than Chiyo herself!
It was an utterly unbelievable thing.
At that moment, Chiyo abruptly raised her previously lowered head.
"Ah!"
A startled cry escaped Sasuke's mouth.
Chiyo had activated her Ketsuryūgan.
As Chiyo activated the Ketsuryūgan's power, two trails of bloody tears ran down either side of her cheeks.
Sasuke had already seen these eyes, which shocked him so deeply, once in the genjutsu world when he and Chiyo had clashed in genjutsu earlier.
But
