A tremendous roar rang out as the Eight-Tails appeared in its full form on the battlefield and charged straight at a Susanoo.
Boom.
The impact thundered across the battlefield. Many Cloud shinobi instinctively covered their ears as the Susanoo controlled by a Shadow Clone locked against the Eight-Tails.
