Sen grinned and shouted a taunt.
"Old man Madara, quit throwing your age around!"
"You're not nearly important enough to impress me!"
Sen spun in midair and thrust out a green Wooden Spike.
The green spike slammed against Susanoo's outer armor.
The hard shell of energy shattered like brittle glass.
