The chakra dragon spat out by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was blocked outside by Susanoo, failing to have any effect.
But the next second, Susanoo swung its arm and charged forward. Without returning to its Ten-Tails state, Susanoo's available abilities were actually extremely limited.
Uchiha Shunichi hid inside Susanoo without making any move. It was not because he did so deliberately, but because the combination of Susanoo and the Eight Gates left him unable to focus on anything else.
The power of Taijutsu and Susanoo's ocular power. Neither of these powers was chakra, yet both had evolved from chakra.
The reason Uchiha Shunichi had risked using Susanoo at this moment was not to borrow Susanoo's strength.
His true goal was... to use the Sword of Totsuka!
The gourd-shaped Sword of Totsuka shot out an enormous pillar of light as Uchiha Shunichi's Susanoo gripped it in its hand.
The Sword of Totsuka was a special sealing sword. After Uchiha Shunichi had taken it from Uchiha Itachi, he had rarely used it.
All for this moment!
Pouring all his strength into the Sword of Totsuka, Uchiha Shunichi swung it directly at the oncoming Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Might Guy's Night Guy was a Taijutsu technique prepared specifically for the final gate. Its effect was to unleash every ounce of power in the body in a single instant.
Although Uchiha Shunichi was now using the legendary sealing sword, the Sword of Totsuka, the result was the same: he only had the strength for a single strike!
The Sword of Totsuka collided with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path without releasing the slightest shockwave. The battlefield suddenly fell into deathly silence as Susanoo and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path stood like statues...
Crack! A crisp sound
