Chapter 243:
Wood Release clones—a superior technique compared to ordinary Shadow Clones.
Not only were these clones far more durable and stable, but they were also harder to see through.
Because Wood Release carried an immense amount of life force, these clones could use bloodline limit techniques that ordinary Shadow Clones couldn't.
For example, the Sharingan.
Or, as was the case now, Susanoo.
To a Kage-level fighter, the fourth form of Susanoo wasn't necessarily unbeatable.
In the original story, Onoki, with the help of the other four Kage, was able to destroy twenty-five Susanoo clones wielded by Uchiha Madara.
Even earlier, Onoki had been able to hold his ground against five Susanoo on his own.
But the key difference here was the person using these bloodline techniques—Orochimaru, one of the three legendary Sannin.
