Fortunately, Nagato's Shinra Tensei blocked the attack for them, preventing the others from being left completely unable to resist.
Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo could not withstand the Sage Art: White Rage Technique either, but damage to the Susanoo was still better than injury to their actual bodies. It could shield them for a while and buy them a little more time.
As the five-second interval of Nagato's Shinra Tensei came to an end, Itachi Uchiha had already spread his crimson, flame-like Susanoo, enveloping all the reanimated bodies within it.
Mizuki had already entered freefall ahead of them, plunging into the lava lake below and swiftly merging into it, impossible to find again.
Most of the damage caused by the violent vibrations in the air was deflected by the scorching magma. What little power remained could not even break through the defense of Lava Release Chakra Mode by the time it reached Mizuki.
"At last, we're safe."
Having gained a chance to catch his breath, Mizuki used chakra to perform medical ninjutsu while directing his physical clone, Shin, from afar to move the reanimated bodies.
Though their own movements had come to a halt, the enemy could not easily use this chance to launch an attack either.
Sage Art: White Rage Technique was an indiscriminate area-of-effect ninjutsu. No one, not even allies, could be exempt from its attack—except Kabuto Yakushi himself, the caster.
Sage Art: White Rage Technique achieved the expected results. Kabuto Yakushi's body transformed once more as Sage Art: Distant Shadow Transmission began to take effect. The Dual Demon Technique inherited from Sakon and Ukon appeared, and a figure emerged from Kabuto Yakushi's abdomen: Kaguya Kimimaro, who had been dead for many years.
"Take a look at the power I've newly acquired. It seems like quite a nice toy."
