"Is it over?"
After the gravitational pull of Planetary Devastation vanished, Ōnoki slowly floated back into the air. His grizzled brows were furrowed as he looked toward the sky, but the aurora-like aftershocks caused by Houka and Uchiha Madara's battle had already faded. Combined with the dim moonlight, the contrast severely obstructed Ōnoki's vision.
But one thing was certain: the two mountain-sized Complete Body Susanoo had both disappeared.

Obito nodded gravely. "They were both injured by Uchiha Madara's Susanoo katana."
"How bad are their injuries?" Houka asked nervously.
"Shisui should
