Whoosh!

Susanoo failed to dodge in time and took the white laser and gray Mist Dragon head-on.

Before their eyes, the blue giant's head melted away under the two-pronged assault.

"You think this is enough to defeat me? How naïve!" At this critical moment, Madara Uchiha roared and switched his red Mangekyō Sharingan to the Rinnegan.
