Who Is the Ant?

As a flash of white fluorescence streaked past, the massive emerald-blue Susanoo instantly shattered into fragments that scattered and drifted away.

"Th-this...!?"

The sight before them left the Konoha Anbu dumbfounded.

That majestic Susanoo, possessing an invincible bearing, had been defeated so easily. For a moment, deep doubt welled up in their hearts, leaving them unable to believe it.

At that moment, a knowledgeable Anbu asked his companions, "Hey, that just now... was Dust Release, wasn't it?"

None of the other Anbu present could answer that question.

The fluorescence had vanished too quickly, disappearing almost the instant it appeared. Its shape had also been extremely irregular, markedly different from the Dust Release wielded by the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki. Thus, even those Anbu who had seen Dust Release before did not dare confirm whether that had truly been Dust Release.

Kurenai analyzed, "It should have been. No other ninjutsu could break through Susanoo so easily!"

As more and more cases involving Susanoo emerged throughout the ninja world, everyone had gradually gained a general understanding of the Susanoo unleashed by the Mangekyō Sharingan.

That was, ordinary ninjutsu—even ninjutsu unleashed through Kekkei Genkai on the same level as the Sharingan—found it exceedingly difficult to breach Susanoo's defenses. In theory, only Kekkei Tōta, which stood above Kekkei Genkai, could destroy Susanoo in an instant!

Realizing that this new member of the God Organization before them was likely one of the only two ninja in the world who had mastered Kekkei Tōta, a powerful figure on the same level as renowned God Organization members such as Flame Demon and Wind Chime, the Konoha Anbu all shuddered inwardly and sighed, "As expected of the God Organization!"

Whoosh...

A kunai flew past. Kakashi followed close behind, catching the kunai and flashing to Hyuga Kagami's side.
