Twenty minutes had passed since Isshiki activated Izanagi, but the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead had closed less than a third of the way.
Isshiki surveyed the battlefield and thought, This Izanagi will last until the war ends. Only Madara has the power to hurt me. No... I can't rule out Hashirama possessing that power too.
I'll deal with those two first!
-Daikokuten!
Boom! Boom!
Two sharp stone pillars, shrunk and stored in Daikokuten Space, emerged and returned to their original size, instantly pinning Madara and Hashirama to the glacier...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
But almost simultaneously, both men vanished and reappeared elsewhere.
Isshiki frowned. "Tch, they substituted their 'shadows'? Damn that Limbo!"
"Hashirama and Madara, the previous Asura and Indra, are undoubtedly the strongest of the lot. But they lack space-time abilities. Kaguya, find a way to get rid of them! Then deal with Sasuke Uchiha, and victory is ours!"
"..." The Rinne Sharingan on Kaguya's forehead opened as she prepared to merge with the Ice Space.
Suddenly... blood spurted from the eye on Kaguya's forehead!
Bang!
Only milliseconds later did the thunderous gunshot erupt through the snowstorm, its echoes lingering!
"Ugh..." Kaguya descended from the air, clutching her forehead.
"!" Isshiki narrowed his eyes and looked over.
There... two people lay concealed in a corner of the glacier!
"Beautiful shot, Itachi!!!"
Uchiha Izuna, serving as the spotter, looked exhilarated.
Click!
The sniper, Uchiha Itachi, ejected the spent casing from the Barrett M82A1 and calmly loaded another round.
Clang!
A bloodstained bullet squeezed out of Kaguya's forehead and fell onto the ice.
Whoosh!
The bullet flew up. Isshiki caught it between two fingers and said in a low voice, "Ordinary metal, shaped for penetration, then given powerful kinetic energy through some means..."
Some would surely wonder how a trick like this
