Hiruko, struck by Susanoo, was sent flying back even faster.
He smashed through the mountainside and flew out.
Obito let out a breath and passed through the mountain wall with Kamui.
At this moment, Hiruko patted the dirt off his body and stood up as if nothing had happened.
His entire body was pitch-black. He had clearly used Steel Release.
"Close one, close one. So this is Susanoo? It's nothing special."
Hiruko looked smug on the surface, but that punch had nearly knocked him unconscious.
Steel Release had greatly reduced the damage he took, but that did not mean it did not hurt.

Hiruko froze
