"Whoosh!" As the spike-covered Wood Dragon lunged for its neck, the Susanoo nimbly raised one hand and slapped the Wood Dragon's head away.
One must not forget that the complete-body Susanoo had four arms. Even if two were restrained, it could still counterattack!
At the same time it sent the Wood Dragon flying with a slap, the Susanoo's other hand swung a powerful fist toward its opponent's head.
Though it was merely a bare-handed strike, it still possessed earth-shattering might. Even if it could not break through the defense, knocking the opponent back would not be a problem.
Since the caster was located within the space inside its head, the head was the Wood Golem Technique's vital point. If it truly suffered an attack of the same level, the caster might be injured.

Madara's vast combat experience told him that opening up the distance was the correct choice.
Yet unexpectedly, when faced with that fierce face-smashing punch, Nawaki not only
