Twelve Wood Release Clones piloted their Susanoo, shifting into their muscular forms. Great arrows were nocked, ready to fly!
Deva Path Pain said, "A frontal assault? To think he could field a force like this!"
Against those arrows, an omnidirectional God Shinra Tensei would hit the other Pains behind me. But a directional blast wouldn't stop them all...
