But the next moment, his smile froze on his face. Hinata had actually raised one hand and directly blocked Sasuke's Susanoo.
Then, Hinata's pupils seemed to flash. The next moment, she raised Susanoo's palm and slammed it straight down toward the ground.
The instant it landed, Hinata pressed one hand directly against the ground, and a summoning formation appeared.
