With the Adamantine Seat pinning down the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Sasuke charged fiercely, clad in Susanoo!
Obito swiftly retreated, thoughts racing beneath his white mask.
Calm down. Controlling that Wooden Human in a prolonged battle with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path cost Sasuke an enormous amount of chakra. Besides, the statue was only pinned down, not prevented from attacking...
Obito raised two fingers!
Crack!
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path turned its head and opened its mouth. A Tailed Beast Bomb gathered with a calamitous roar, then blasted toward the white-clad boy enveloped in Dark Purple!!!
Sasuke saw what was happening behind him with his Byakugan. Without slowing his charge toward Obito, he swiftly formed hand seals before his chest!
—Water Release: Whale Swallow!
Whoosh!!
The earth transformed. A tsunami-sized surge flooded the area in an instant, completely engulfing the Tailed Beast Bomb before taking the shape of an enormous whale and soaring into the air!!!
On Blue Moon Island, Suigetsu cried out, "That technique is the Whale Fall Water Release Sasuke-kun and Grandfather used in the Eighth Battle!!"
Orochimaru smiled. "It seems Sasuke-kun didn't discard it, but developed it further. This Whale Swallow can neutralize even the statue's full-power Tailed Beast Bomb, then turn it against its user to strengthen Whale Fall!!"
Boom...!!!
After swallowing the Tailed Beast Bomb, the whale rose hundreds of meters into the sky, then plummeted with a roar as Whale Fall, its immense bulk all but blotting out the heavens...!!!!
Obito watched the looming shadow descend, his expression turning utterly grim!!!
Water Bullets of that size, combined with the power of a Tailed Beast Bomb, could easily flatten everything within a five-kilometer radius. Though they wouldn't hurt me while I was Phasing...
Obito couldn't help recalling the end
