The Tailed Beast Collection Plan Begins

[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired the Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu: Amaterasu!]

The instant Itachi Uchiha unleashed Amaterasu, the system picked it up.

Rono wondered which was more powerful: these black flames or his Flame Emperor.

In theory, Amaterasu was a formidable Dojutsu that would not vanish until it had burned its target to ash. It was known as the Strongest Physical Attack.

He might even combine Flame Emperor and Amaterasu. Their power would probably multiply.

Rono now had a rough measure of his defenses.

His Iron Balloon Physical Talent alone was enough to make him immune to most Ninjutsu.

Only Ninjutsu with the power of a Sage Technique could probably pierce that Physical
