Senyo's pitch-black Susanoo stood silently in place. Then, the shadows covering the Susanoo vanished.
The Susanoo dispersed as well.
"Tsk, tsk. Didn't expect you to hold such a grudge, Ōnoki."
Senyo looked at the ground, which seemed as though it had been wiped away by an eraser, and sighed.
Ōnoki clearly still remembered how Madara Uchiha had sent him flying when he was young.

Senyo pointed toward the dense forest behind him.
Upon hearing Senyo's order, Shisui flashed away and headed into the forest behind them.
His
