Whoosh!
As the Susanoo Shikigami form was unleashed, Sana rode the rising Chakra to the cube at its summit, at a height nearly level with the moon [the Earth-Moon distance in the Naruto World was not 380,000 kilometers]!
Whoosh!
Ryushiki also arrived above Yamato Takeru's head, at a height where he could look Sana in the eye. His expression was complicated. "Nana, you've changed. You used to say, 'Let the two big guys play while we train one-on-one.' Now you're hiding inside one of the big guys..."
Sana smiled. "Heh heh~ Knowing that you practiced that evil technique Ubiji taught you, I naturally had to make the way we fight a little more elegant—the kind of elegance I hate..."
Ryushiki said helplessly, "I spent more than a thousand years painstakingly cultivating this Diamond Body, and you call it an evil technique... Fine. This time, I'll be the bad guy."
Boom! Ryushiki swept in like a storm. Golden Chakra enveloped his clawed hand, transforming it into Dragon's Claw as it seized toward the cube sheltering Sana!
"Heh~" Sana's lips curled upward as a mirror-like pattern emerged across the surface of the cube on Susanoo's forehead!
—True • Yata Mirror!
Clang!
His clawed hand struck the mirror surface, and Ryushiki frowned. "Dragon's Claw can't break it..."
Buzz!
Light flowed over the mirror, suddenly generating an immensely powerful rebound force that fiercely hurled Ryushiki away!
Sana laughed. "Heh heh~ Let the ball battle begin!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Clusters of flames rose from Susanoo's shoulders. Each cluster transformed into a split body comparable to a Six Paths • Susanoo, and they swarmed forward, madly ganging up on Ryushiki!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Ryushiki was knocked back and forth like a ball, his trajectory streaking across the void as the scene briefly spiraled out of
