Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly recognized the difference, and his heart sank.
The differences between the two Susanoo were plain to the naked eye.
Fugaku's had only an upper body, and even that was merely a skeleton. Xia Le's Susanoo, however, was complete, its entire body encased in thick, solid armor. Only its eyes gleamed with cold, blood-red light.
A massive Samurai Sword hung at its waist, and its presence was overwhelmingly powerful.

Boom!
The Adamantine Staff slammed into the ground, the tremendous force splitting
