Black flames burned over the enemy's body, but Uchiha Sasuke showed no joy.
Sure enough, when Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki saw his subordinate screaming in pain, he immediately intervened, using the Rinnegan in his palm to absorb the heat of Amaterasu.
It was strange, really. Amaterasu, a mere Mangekyō Sharingan ability, could hold Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki in check, yet Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's Rinnegan countered it.
So it really is useless? Looks like I really will have to find a way to visit Ryūchi Cave... Uchiha Sasuke could not help having that thought as he watched.
Long ago, Uchiha Shunichi had advised Uchiha Sasuke, explicitly telling him how powerful senjutsu was.
But Uchiha Sasuke had believed his Sharingan was strong enough and that he did not need that power, so he had refused outright...
Only now did he understand why.
There was no time to think further. Uchiha Sasuke unleashed his full strength, bringing out Susanoo at full power in an attempt to overwhelm his enemies.
But against the combined might of Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, even Uchiha Sasuke's Rinnegan dōjutsu could do nothing to turn the tide.
"How interesting. How did you obtain your Rinnegan?" Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki was not fighting at full strength. Instead, he watched Uchiha Sasuke with a mocking expression.
Their exchange had been brief, yet more than half of Uchiha Sasuke's chakra had already been absorbed.
Unaware that the Rinnegan in his opponent's hand could absorb any ninjutsu, Uchiha Sasuke had suffered badly for it.
"You've won this fight, but this isn't over." Uchiha Sasuke had little strength left to resist, yet his face remained defiant.
Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki found this curious, but just as he was about to say something...
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly swallowed a white pill, and his chakra began surging wildly out of control.
Lightning flared around him
