Kusagakure.
Three people dressed in black robes and masks arrived at the ruins of Hozuki Castle.
By now, Indra's Susanoo had reduced Hozuki Castle to actual, utter ruins.
Broken walls, collapsed ramparts, a prison razed to the ground.
And enormous footprints in the flat ground at the center of the prison.
"Susanoo footprints. The intelligence was accurate. Judging by its bodily proportions, this Susanoo really was close in size to Madara Uchiha's."
Itachi analyzed the enormous footprints before him.
"Are all you Uchiha monsters? How do you have so many pairs of Mangekyō?"
Tenzo grumbled beside him. After all, his left eye was currently Itachi's Mangekyō.
"No, this is power only the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan possesses. An ordinary Mangekyō couldn't possibly produce one this large."
Itachi shook his head and explained to Tenzo.
The largest Susanoo an ordinary Mangekyō could produce was, at most, the size of the one Shisui had previously manifested while using Izanagi.
And even that size had been achieved by overdrawing his dōjutsu power, causing tremendous damage to his eyes.
"Itachi, there's another footprint over here."
Just then, Izumi, who had crouched down to investigate, suddenly spoke.
"It's much smaller than the Susanoo's. The two are very close together, and its shape doesn't look like that of a normal creature."
Itachi narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the footprint before him through his mask.
Rather than a footprint, it looked more like a handprint to Itachi.
A Susanoo's handprint? But the size doesn't match either.
An adult with a child's hands? Whose Susanoo looks like that?
By the look of it, this should be a mark left by that Box of Ultimate Bliss, right?
Itachi fell briefly into thought, but ultimately could only connect it to the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
There was still too little information.
