"Susanoo really isn't all that useful a jutsu..."
Obito's remark drifted out from inside Susanoo, drawing repeated glances from Team Kakashi.
To them, Susanoo was an incredibly troublesome jutsu. Even breaching its defenses was extraordinarily difficult.
After all, defense was precisely what ninja lacked. That was why far more ninja died to kunai on the battlefield than to ninjutsu.
That was also what separated jonin from the ninja at the pinnacle of the shinobi world.
Every one of the Five Kage at the top of the pyramid possessed formidable defenses and could take on a hundred enemies alone.
The masked man before them had indeed reached the level of the Five Kage. Even if their village wanted to eliminate him, it would have to pay a devastating price.
As they watched him, Obito moved Susanoo, sweeping its arm toward the three ninja before him.
His complaint was genuine. To him, Susanoo was less useful than he had imagined. He needed neither its defenses nor its destructive power.
Kamui alone was enough to meet his needs in battle.
And it was difficult for him to take Susanoo into the Alternate Dimension with Kamui. Susanoo also consumed far more Eye Power and chakra than he had expected.
Merely maintaining it consumed enormous amounts of Eye Power, never mind fighting an intense battle.
Even though the white Zetsu cells he had received had long since eliminated the risk of blindness, he still could not squander his Eye Power at will.
Boom!
Susanoo's arm demolished the walls in its path, fully alerting Kirigakure's defenses. Alarms blared.
Drawn by the alarms, Karatachi Yagura poked his head out a window and looked toward Susanoo. Figures from the Kirigakure ANBU flashed through the night sky.
Noticing this, Kakashi used Fire Release to destroy the remaining Wood Release
