Bloodstains appeared across the body that was harder than refined steel yet filled with resilience.
With Danzo and Uchiha Gen working together, wounds had appeared on the Third Raikage's body for the first time in history.
The Strongest Shield, which had never been breached, was no longer the myth that represented invincibility.
The wounds were not deep, and the blood seeped out slowly. To the Third Raikage's physique, injuries like these were far from severe and not enough to affect his combat strength. But they represented that they had already touched the Third Raikage's limit.
This strategy worked!
At the sight of this, Danzo's spirits soared. His already blinding hand seal speed seemed to increase by another degree, nearly leaving afterimages.
The Mangekyō Sharingan in Uchiha Gen's eyes spun rapidly, tracking the Third Raikage's every movement. The Dojutsu Power in his right eye was gradually consumed as he activated his Dojutsu, yet warm currents continuously arose from his Sage Body, restoring part of the expended Dojutsu Power.
"This black flame absolutely cannot touch me!"
The Third Raikage used Body Flicker to dash forward and evade the black flames, while heavily stomping the ground beneath his feet.
Under his powerful and precise control of strength, a vast stretch of ground beneath him immediately collapsed. Massive boulders, accompanied by dirt, shot up from underground under the recoil, cutting off Uchiha Gen's line of sight and blocking Amaterasu's path of incineration.
No matter how powerful and bizarre the Mangekyō's Dojutsu might be, it was ultimately cast through the eyes. As long as something obstructed the user's vision, it could be avoided.
Less than two seconds later, those obstructions were blasted apart by the powerful Great Fireballs that followed, but they had still bought the Third Raikage a brief moment to catch his breath.
