Although Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had not done anything, the Third Hokage felt as though he had been mocked.
You blocked and absorbed everyone else's attacks, but when it came to mine, you ignored it outright. What, did you look down on me?
"..."
Quite a few people present cast strange looks at the Third Hokage, making the old man's face flush bright red.
Under normal circumstances, the Third Hokage was not weak. He had mastered far too many ninjutsu; after all, the titles "God of Shinobi" and "Professor" had not been given to him for nothing.
The reason the Third Hokage gave people the impression that he was not very strong was because he lacked a decisive finishing move.
He knew many ninjutsu and would certainly be formidable in ordinary battles. Once he unleashed all sorts of dazzling techniques, even Orochimaru, who claimed to have learned countless ninjutsu, would have to admit defeat.
But once it came to high-level battles, the problem emerged.
Knowing many ninjutsu did not necessarily mean high damage output.
Look at Tobirama Senju. He did not need anything else—just a few Water Release techniques were enough to leave Kaguya Ōtsutsuki furious and flustered.
Why?
Because Tobirama Senju's Water Release had terrifyingly strong piercing power.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki could choose to absorb it, but there were simply too many people attacking her. Even if she wanted to absorb it all, she could not keep up.
"Can this thing be transferred away?"
Anyone could imagine what would happen if a sun-like Truth-Seeking Orb came crashing down. Minato Namikaze was itching to give it a try.
After all, he had transferred a Tailed Beast Ball before.
"If you touch that thing, your hand will be unable to regenerate. Do you still want to try?"
Yan glanced at him.
"Uh, better not."
