"Ugh!"
Standing nearby, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a muffled grunt, his pipe clattering to the ground.
He felt as though he had been hurled into the depths of the ocean in an instant, surrounded by tens of thousands of tons of pressure. Even breathing became agonizingly difficult! And he was a Kage-level powerhouse!
