Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart!
Ōnoki was forced to change his strategy, summoning a rock giant to block in front of him.
The five-colored energy spheres collided with the rock giant with a deafening crash, and the shock wave of the explosion blasted Ōnoki flying dozens of meters away while shattering the rock giant into pieces!
Far away on the flagship, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up.
He had figured it out.
So that's how it is...
Hiruzen murmured, "Dust Release, a Kekkei Tōta of that caliber, places extremely high demands on both chakra precision and total volume.
After consecutive uses, there will be a 'cooldown period'... During this time, you cannot gather Dust Release again, or... the power of the Dust Release you gather will drop drastically."

Summoning Technique!
White smoke burst forth, and Hiruzen's summoning animal, Enma, appeared on the deck.

He was indeed in the cooldown period of Dust Release, and forcing it out now would mean less than thirty percent of its power, making it impossible to block this fully charged strike.
More troublesome was the sea surface below--
He looked down.
