Aramaki's "useless" carried two meanings.
First, he had already determined that most of these ninjas' ninjutsu would do little against his elemental form.
Only Minato Namikaze's Sage Art: Big Ball Rasengan had allowed him to foresee minor abrasions on his arm.
That meant the technique's power was not only enough to offset his punch strength and Haki, but could also inflict actual damage on his elementalized body.
So although that enormous meatball overhead looked spectacular—
In reality, even if he stood still and let it slam down on him, it would not harm a single hair on his body.
It could not be helped.
That was the strength of a Logia user.
As for the second meaning—
[Roar!][roar!]
Two wooden arms formed from countless tightly woven branches suddenly shot up from the sea of trees behind Aramaki, each easily thirty to forty meters long.
Their palms, now coated in a layer of black, spread open and caught the descending gigantic Human Boulder head-on.
[Screech, screech, screech!]
The instant the rapidly spinning Human Boulder collided with the two wooden palms in midair, brilliant sparks erupted amid a piercing grinding shriek.
At that moment—
It was not merely a contest of rotational force and crushing power, but a clash between Chakra and Haki.
The Chakra spilling from the Human Boulder formed streams of blue airflow that spun rapidly around its surface, violently colliding with and wearing down the Armament Haki coating the wooden palms.
But the stalemate lasted only briefly.
The towering wooden arms behind Aramaki actually began pushing the "giant ball" between their palms upward.
At the same time—
A wooden giant with a head, long hair, chest, and even legs gradually emerged from the ground amid the sea of trees.
"My god..."
"This, this..."
"H-how is this possible..."
