Ōhirume, the ability of Sarada Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan, was only a Mangekyō-level technique, yet its terrifying power directly rivaled the Rinnegan!
It controlled gravity through four black spheres floating nearby—black hole vortices—and could freely select its targets, affect natural objects, and absorb tangible ninjutsu. Once caught by a vortex's attraction, a target could no longer move and would be crushed to pieces!
Great Sun Mist, cast by the mutated Ten-Tails through its Rinne Sharingan, had eight black spheres... but that was not the important part! What mattered was how the Ten-Tails knew Ōhirume! This was not an ability it originally possessed!
Could the Ten-Tails actually create something from nothing? True creation from nothing did not exist in this world. Even an author writing an original work needed material to complete it.
If that really was the case, an almost absurd conjecture surfaced in Sasuke's mind.
During that Infinite Tsukuyomi, the Ten-Tails read and mastered the abilities of my companions that I demonstrated.
No... "mastered" might not be the right word. "Comprehended" was the truth!
It comprehended those dōjutsu merely by watching images of them being cast!
I really hope I'm overthinking this!
Great Sun Mist was absurdly powerful, but against Sasuke's even more absurd Ashubha, it had no chance to shine!
Sasuke activated Ashubha... and the gravitational pull of Great Sun Mist stopped as time froze!
Without another moment's hesitation, he drove the light sword of Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion into the Forehead Chamber's protective lens with a crack!
But... the sword's tip did not deliver the satisfying sensation of piercing an eyeball!
It was as though he had sliced into empty space!
Sasuke understood in an instant, giving a bitter laugh inwardly. Damn it, Kamui's phasing...
Ashubha's time limit expired... and Ōhirume's gravity resumed where it had left off.
