After reaching Six Paths level, things like Fire Release Ninjutsu and Lightning Release Ninjutsu, no matter how powerful or cataclysmic they seemed, could hardly deal a fatal blow to a Six Paths-level powerhouse.

Everyone looked toward it and saw Sasuke kicked out of Susanoo by Hikari, crashing hard onto the ground.
Sasuke tried to get back up and fight, but before he could even rise, several Black Rods whistled through the air and pierced his body, pinning him to the ground.
"Damn it!"
Frustrated and furious, Sasuke tried to break free of the Black Rods.
Hikari planted
