The statue was incomparably विशाल.
Behind it stretched countless enormous arms, densely packed and layered atop one another, blotting out the sky and sun!
The sky was completely obscured by the massive Buddha.
The sunlight vanished.
The world fell into dim shadow.
Kakuzu tilted his head back, his mouth hanging open as he stared blankly at the slowly rising Thousand-Armed Buddha.
At that moment, Kakuzu's mind had completely stopped functioning.
