The two sides confronted each other for only an instant before making their moves in succession.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Several pitch-black Chakra rods were thrown by the five puppets under Nagato's control.
Qian knew that these black Chakra rods might look unremarkable, but they were anything but.
