Staring at the empty ground before him, Houka froze where he stood.
"They vanished?"
What was going on?
Why had they disappeared?
Houka trembled all over as a terrifying aura gradually emanated from his body.
His Three-Tomoe Sharingan instantly transformed into a pentagram of black mist, his ocular power boiling over!
The Three-Tails' Chakra also poured forth wildly, transforming into layer upon layer of rippling shockwaves that crashed against the frozen earthen walls.
What... was going on?!
Could it have been Uchiha Shin?
Black Zetsu?
Boom!
Crackle!
Lightning exploded as a dense suit of lightning armor enveloped Houka's body. He instantly transformed into a streak of lightning and shot out of the Ice Cave.
"Uchiha Shin!!!"
Grinding his teeth, Houka transformed into lightning in midair and came crashing down!
Crackle!
Bang!
The lightning struck directly against Uchiha Shin's Susanoo, unleashing rippling shockwaves of terrifying force!
"Uchiha Houka!!"
Standing within his Susanoo, Uchiha Shin glared viciously at his opponent, Mangekyou ocular power emanating from his eyes as well.
"Do you know what you're doing?!" Houka's voice was icy. Deep-purple ribs gradually appeared around his body, followed by growing veins, flesh, and blood, forming the Third Form of his Susanoo!
Two enormous bronze hammers were raised high, then smashed viciously toward Uchiha Shin.
Uchiha Shin's Susanoo wielded a massive Shuriken. It charged forward without hesitation, intending to knock aside Houka's bronze hammers.
But...
Ultra-Weighted Rock Technique!
Houka rapidly formed Hand Seals, and the two bronze hammers instantly became immensely heavier. Their speed surged as well, and before Uchiha Shin's horrified eyes, they smashed brutally into the chest of his Susanoo.
Boom!
Boom!!
Amid the violent airwaves, Uchiha Shin was blasted away in an instant. His massive Susanoo was smashed open with horrifying cracks as it crashed miserably into a Snow Peak behind
