Staring at the tiny figure in Naruto's palm, Sasuke exclaimed in surprise, "Is that... a scaled-down Susanoo?"

Small though it was, it lacked nothing. Every detail a Susanoo should have had was faithfully reproduced in miniature, condensed into seven inches in his palm!

Naruto could hardly bear to put it down. "Yeah. The age of competing over whose is bigger is over. Using power more precisely and effectively is how you get further..."

Obito pinched his chin and nodded. "Mm, true. Susanoo is powerful, but small, agile enemies have always been a headache for it. I'm impressed you thought of this, Naruto..."

Hashirama asked, "But how do you use it in an actual fight?"

"It's simple. Like this..."

Naruto smiled, and life or death became anyone's guess!

Whoosh! Yomotsu Hirasaka appeared in front of Naruto, bringing a point several kilometers away right before his eyes!

-Ōmononushi!

The Miniature Susanoo was copied a thousand times over and deployed among the enemy ranks. Miniature swords appeared in their miniature hands, and their miniature wings fluttered as they slashed wildly through the enemies...!

Slash, slash, slash!

"?" The poor Fly Reapers were hacked to pieces before they even understood what was happening. Their shattered remains fell into the River of the Netherworld, leaving not even bones behind.

After killing the enemies, the Miniature Susanoo copies did not disappear. Instead, they flew back through Yomotsu Hirasaka in orderly ranks and formed a square formation above the little boat, escorting it!

Whoosh!

Yomotsu Hirasaka closed, and the Susanoo that had served as the "copy template" disappeared.

Naruto said casually, "See? Pretty simple, right? That's the straightforward, brute-force approach. In an actual fight, I can give some of the copies souls as needed, letting them act more flexibly and even use ninjutsu..."

Obito, Hashirama, and Sasuke
