It seemed that even if he could not wield much of the Wood Golem Technique's power from Hashirama, it was still enough to pose a mortal threat to me!
With just this Amaterasu-form Susanoo...
Could I do it? Or not?
His slightly tilted crimson eyes immediately caught the trajectory of the final attack amid that instantaneous shift.
Reflected in them was the massive solid-water sword slashing diagonally toward him. It appeared slow, yet was incomparably fast. All distractions abruptly vanished from Uchiha Nobuhiko's mind. Other than the image of the Wood Golem's sword captured by his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he had no other thoughts.

At that moment, as Uchiha Nobuhiko's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan tilted and a string of thoughts flashed through his mind, just as watery light spread through the air, the two Wood Dragons restraining the massive black blade suddenly snapped their jaws shut, their teeth crashing together.
Amid the sound of wood grinding against wood, several strands of Black Flames leaked from their mouths.

In an instant, Chiba's expression shifted slightly beneath his emerald Chakra cloak. Scattering Black Flames filled his vision, and even with the dynamic vision of Gate of View Mode, he could not make out their trajectories.
This giant sword...
Wasn't it a weapon? That thought flashed through
