—Six Paths: Banshō Ten'in!
Whoosh!
An immense, indiscriminate gravitational pull hurled Sasuke toward the Amenonuhoko!
The pull was so overpowering that even someone as strong as Sasuke could not mount any defense in that split second!
Shhk!!!
By the time he came to his senses... the Amenonuhoko had pierced straight through his chest and back!
But almost simultaneously, six streams of arrows shot from the back of Sasuke's collar, converging before tearing through the Sage of Six Paths' body!
Shhk...!!!
The Sage of Six Paths stood unshaken, his form wavering between reality and illusion. Even the arrows passing through him inflicted no actual harm!
"Izanagi...?"
Shhk!!
The instant Sasuke realized it, he spat a Purple Flash into the air!
At the same time... the body impaled on the sword rapidly shriveled into a purple skin husk!
—Orochimaru-Style Substitution Technique!!
Whoosh...!!
Yet the pull of Six Paths: Banshō Ten'in continued!!
Sasuke had barely escaped death... before the inescapable gravity dragged him toward the Amenonuhoko again!!
"At this rate... it'll never end!"
Crack! Repeating the Orochimaru-Style Substitution Technique... Sasuke immediately formed a Seal before his chest!
—Sage Art: Great Flame Commandment!
Boom...!!
He spewed a hellish torrent of black flame from his mouth... generating powerful thermal convection to resist the gravitational pull!
Without question... it worked!
The rate at which he was being pulled in visibly slowed!
That gave him more room to maneuver!
His right eye focused. Under Kagutsuchi... the black flames that landed on the ground split into streams, then curled upward in layers, forming black flame tornadoes!
As Kasegai no Mikoto gave them living forms... those flame tornadoes were granted life, becoming "calamities"!
Boom, boom, boom, boom...!
Drawn in by gravity, the flame tornadoes gathered around the Sage of Six Paths and his manifested avatar, endlessly interweaving and colliding!!
