Time and again, the Third Kazekage used Magnet Release: Iron Sand Technique to defend himself, only for Susanoo to break through time and again. He was frantic with anxiety.
Susanoo's offensive power was too strong, and Uchiha Mai's abilities were far too versatile. With his support, Susanoo was like a tiger with wings.

Countless spike-like iron sand protrusions filled the barrier, making it resemble a massive, irregular bird's nest—or Noriaki Kakyoin's Emerald Splash barrier.
