Rumble—
Somewhere in the desolate mountains, beneath the night sky, the earth suddenly split and the mountains collapsed. Sand, dust, shattered stones, and torn vegetation erupted into the air as shockwaves spread outward in rings, instantly leveling everything within a hundred-meter radius!
That strike had been a powerful sweeping blow from Susanoo!
As the dust hanging in the air dispersed, a half-skeletal giant wreathed in eerie purple flames stood upon the earth, roaring at the heavens and looking down upon the land.

As for Ma Lin? She had failed to evade Susanoo's "Muramasa" and was blasted far away, smashing straight through a mountaintop. She then plummeted behind the mountain, followed by another deafening crash.
Protected within Susanoo, Pseudo-Sasuke leaped fiercely, carrying Susanoo with him as it
