Watching the black cube descend from the sky, Isshiki Otsutsuki froze in place!
Rono had mastered his dojutsu that easily?
How on earth had he done it?
"Sukunahikona!"
But there was no time to dwell on it. Jigen hurriedly used his right eye's dojutsu to shrink the black cube.

Powerful hand-to-hand combat arts such as Conqueror's Haki Coating further amplified the destructive force of Rono's already absurdly powerful attacks, leaving Madara Uchiha no choice but to retreat!
The one-sided rout came as
