Boom...
As Shisui and the others rushed toward the battlefield, they were met head-on by a massive shockwave carrying towering clouds of dust.
Shisui had no choice but to activate Susanoo and use the divine artifact, the Yata Mirror, to withstand the overwhelming shockwave crashing toward them.
Amid the raging dust, Sasuke's face was full of disbelief. "Th-this... is the strength of the God Organization's leader and the Akatsuki's leader? Can they even still be called shinobi?"
Ever since awakening his Mangekyō Sharingan, an inexplicable sense of superiority had taken root deep within Sasuke's heart. Other shinobi had seemed almost beneath notice in his eyes.
That was also why he had remained so bitter about losing to Kirin. He simply could not accept that he, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, had been defeated by an ordinary Storm Release bloodline shinobi.
But the successive setbacks and shocks of today made him suddenly realize that the Ninja World he lived in was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
Kimimaro, raising a hand to shield his face, wore an equally grave expression.
The aftermath of the battle between those two in the distance alone could cause such devastation. This brutal sight shook the pride he had always held in his heart.
Haku, who was sensing the battlefield through natural energy, said somewhat incoherently, "Th-this is too exaggerated! The entire battlefield is practically filled with chakra—even natural energy has been forced back!"
Shisui's heart jolted at those words, and he immediately said to the others, "It's too dangerous up ahead. Stay here—I'll go take a look alone!"
Since he did not know Hyuga Kagami's tactics, Shisui still believed that the one fighting Nagato was Hyuga Kagami himself. He wanted to hurry over and see whether there was anything he could do to help.
