Fugaku stared fixedly at the cracks in the light blade.
"This wasn't a simple Hundredfold Strike."
“Clan Leader changed the way the force of his punches erupted!”
Shisui quickly spotted the key.
"A normal Hundredfold Strike compresses hundreds of heavy blows into a single point, then releases them all at once."

"No matter how hard an object's exterior defenses are, its internal structure can never be entirely without gaps."
"As long as vibrational force enters it, it can destroy
