Ryōsuke did feel some pressure, but not much.
The fact that Kitsuchi could use such a jutsu showed that his chakra reserves were quite massive.
His jutsu might be incredibly intimidating to anyone else.
But to him, it was nothing more than that.
The Susanoo he manifested was of far higher quality than his opponent's technique.
Watching this astonishing scene from the sidelines, Rōshi's eyes were filled with shock.
Beneath the massive spheres of earth, the Susanoo looked completely dwarfed.
He marveled, "Kitsuchi really is full of surprises. He actually managed to make a B-rank Earth Style jutsu feel like a forbidden jutsu. Well, that settles it. There's no way this guy is getting away now."
Naturally, he couldn't just sit idly by. He didn't know what other special tricks this guy had up his sleeve, so his job was simply to draw the enemy's attention.
Without a doubt, the best way to grab his attention was a full Tailed Beast Transformation.
No other move was more eye-catching than this.
Calming his mind, he directly drew upon the power of the Tailed Beast sealed within him. Red chakra instantly spread across his body, completely enveloping him.
With a loud poof, a cloud of smoke swirled around him.
A massive red monkey appeared on the battlefield.
This was the result of his long and arduous training.
Opening its mouth wide, it began condensing a black sphere of Tailed Beast chakra.
"Eat my Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Even with the extreme defensive power of his opponent's Susanoo, taking a direct hit from his devastatingly destructive Tailed Beast Bomb should completely obliterate it.
With any luck, it might even take the guy out directly.
Meanwhile, Ōnoki watched his son Kitsuchi's jutsu with immense pride. As expected of his son—even without a Kekkei Genkai, this single move was enough to shock the shinobi world.
Rōshi was no slouch either. To think he could achieve a full Tailed Beast Transformation. It looked quite stable, too, so there was no need to worry about the Tailed Beast taking over his mind.
Even with Rōshi firing off an attack like a Tailed Beast Bomb, Ōnoki didn't believe the guy opposite them would go down so easily. He definitely had some sort of backup plan.
But there was nothing to worry about. He flew higher into the sky and brought his hands together in front of his chest.
"Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"
As his chakra condensed, a transparent, cube-shaped barrier appeared in the palms of his hands.
He then manipulated the transparent barrier, shifting it into a cone before firing it straight at the White-Masked Man in Black.
Watching from a distance, Kurotsuchi couldn't hide the excitement on her face.
Grandpa finally used it!
This was the overwhelmingly powerful Kekkei Tōta, Particle Style.
The strongest offensive jutsu in the shinobi world, capable of reducing anything to nothingness.
If that guy got hit by this, he was absolutely done for. He would be completely disassembled, without even a speck of dust left behind.
Ryōsuke watched the Tailed Beast Bomb and the Particle Style attack hurtling toward him from afar.
He wasn't worried about Rōshi's Tailed Beast Bomb in the slightest. An attack like that would, at most, cause some blast damage to his second-stage Susanoo.
He could easily reform it just by replenishing his chakra.
However, the Particle Style unleashed by that old man Ōnoki was a truly terrifying jutsu.
In the original storyline, this move had even blasted apart the Impure World Reincarnation version of Uchiha Madara, and even the Perfect Susanoo hadn't been able to block it.
The defensive power of a Perfect Susanoo was absurdly high, yet even it couldn't withstand the blow. That alone was a testament to its might.
But was he worried? Not in the slightest, because his Rinnegan completely countered this technique.
There was no need to dodge. His gaze sharpened.
His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan seamlessly shifted into the purple Rinnegan.
Ryōsuke reached out his hands directly toward the two incoming attacks.
"Blocking Technique Absorption Seal."
The transparent jutsu and the black Tailed Beast Bomb were rapidly absorbed, ultimately vanishing into nothingness.
Naturally, the attacks failed to cause any damage whatsoever.
Seeing this, Ōnoki was utterly dumbfounded.
What was going on? His Particle Style had actually vanished.
The Tailed Beast Bomb had disappeared as well. Just what did this guy do?
What was that vortex that had suddenly appeared in front of him?
In all his years of using Particle Style, he had never encountered anything like this. It had always been an unstoppable force.
Rōshi and Kitsuchi were frozen in shock. They had thought that with the three of them carefully coordinating their crowd control and damage output, this enemy was doomed.
Now, after expending so much effort, absolutely nothing had happened.
Not to mention the massive amount of chakra the three of them had burned through.
Ōnoki had expended a tremendous amount of chakra to cast his Particle Style this time, increasing both its attack range and destructive power.
Kitsuchi went without saying; his Earth Style: Mountain Jutsu required a massive amount of chakra not only to activate but also to maintain.
The same went for Rōshi.
He had only just mastered the full Tailed Beast Transformation.
After burning through a large portion of the Tailed Beast chakra available to him, he immediately reverted back to his human form.
Both of them found it hard to accept that their combined assault had yielded zero results.
Watching from afar, Kurotsuchi's face was a picture of sheer disbelief.
How was this possible? Her grandfather's invincible Particle Style was actually ineffective. This was the first time she had ever seen such a thing; she simply couldn't believe it.
Her mind was filled with endless questions about how this guy had managed to pull that off.
Meanwhile, Ryōsuke was currently in very high spirits.
With this technique, he basically had nothing to fear from any ninjutsu.
Because this move was specifically designed to absorb them.
Of course, he theorized that the jutsu he absorbed had to be matter converted from chakra. It seemed he wouldn't be able to absorb actual physical matter from the natural world.
He would have to test it out to know for sure, but now obviously wasn't the time for experiments.
It looked like his opponents had already played their strongest hands. It was time to wrap things up.
With his Rinnegan active, he stretched his arms out to his sides.
At the same time, he deactivated his Susanoo.
Terrifying chakra condensed within his body.
"Almighty Push."
A terrifying repulsive force instantly blasted the hemispherical boulders on either side of him into dust.
