Seiryū takes out a Wakaturi-type arrowhead, pierced with a Buddhist motto.
He infuses his energy into the arrowhead and points it towards Shutendōji.
'If only I had father's Hama Yumi bow to launch this arrow!' Seiryū sighs in his heart.
'The Hama Yumi bow or the 'evil banishing bow' is the sacred treasure of his father. It's an extremely powerful bow capable of annihilating any evil.'
Swoosh…
As soon as Seiryū fires the arrowhead, it vanishes into the void; away from everyone's perception. Even Seiryū, as the user of the arrowhead, is unable to sense its location.
"Oh!"
Shutendōji raises an eyebrow as the arrowhead seems familiar. A few seconds pass by with no sight of the arrowhead.
'Did I use a dud?!' Sweat trickles down Seiryū's forehead.
'In that case, should I prepare for escape?'
Just as Seiryu was preparing to escape.
Shoom…
Suddenly, an unsuspecting arrowhead coated in blue energy pierces through the void, right in between Shutendōji's brows.
BOOM…
A powerful burst of energy explodes on impact. The burst of energy leaves a beautiful trail of starlight that depicts the wonders of the cosmos in the void.
For an instant, a nebula of stars illuminates the sky; drowning all evil and even dispelling the light of the Infinite Tsukiyomi.
The roots of the Divine tree retreat to the ground, leaving behind dried husks of small and large bodies.
Even Ibaraki and Black Zetsu are affected by the purifying effect of the arrow.
White smoke rises from Black Zetsu's body and slowly incinerates him. Whereas the blood aura around Ibaraki vanishes and his skin turns red from the heat, making it look like he is being cooked alive at the moment.
'Did it work?' Seiryū wonders.
The power this arrow possesses is several thousand times that of the previous spear Izuna used against Ibaraki. However, instead of the pure destructive power that the spear had; this arrow has a very strong purifying effect.
The purifying power is so strong that it illuminates every corner of the small dimension the Shinobi world is located in. It's the for this reason, Seiryu didn't want to use such a trump card.
A small hope of overturning the situation rises in Seiryū's body.
"Hmm… the power of this Evil Banishing arrow is not bad!"
However, the next second, a calm and collected voice breaks the last straw.
Suddenly, the nebula-like radiance vanishes in thin air to reveal Shutendōji's figure.
Shutendōji is holding an arrowhead between his fingertips with ease. There is no sign of any distress or discomfort on his face.
Snap…
He pinches the arrow with slight force, and it disperses into motes of energy.
"It has been a while since one of these arrows hit me." Shutendōji reminisces.
"The last time it happened was during the great war between the two clans. Back then, Ōnikunishi used the Hami Yumi bow to bombard me with several thousand of these arrows. That attack did sting a lot!"
Ah!
Seiryū's face freezes.
'I am doomed!' He sighs in his heart.
Shutendōji has a playful smile on his face.
"So, what else do you have to perform? I am quite eager to see another firework from you."
Seiryū places his hand inside a spatial pocket. He hesitates a bit but ultimately decides against it.
'What use would it even have? Since not even the Evil Banishing arrow could phase him. I guess this is the end for me.' He accepts his fate.
Suddenly, Shutendōji's expression turns cruel. A powerful aura burst forth from his body. Cracks appear in the surrounding space.
Even the entire Shinobi dimension starts to crumble from the pressure. The barrier around Redaku illuminates slightly, but soon several cracks appear on its surface.
Bang…
With a loud noise, the barrier around Redaku that lasted for millennia shattered into countless fragments.
The remaining animals and survivors lose their minds and slowly morph into hideous creatures. Even the residents of Redaku aren't spared by the powerful aura of Shutendōji.
"Is this the end of the world?" Tsunade and others also sense the world ending aura with despair.
However, at this moment, a faint blue energy shrouds the entire Donut Island and protects them from the corruption and pressure of this power.
"This aura…"
Tsunade, Minato, Kushina, Mei, and others glance at the source of this aura.
Ayaka's body levitates in mid-air. Her eyes emit the blue light. There is a psychedelic kaleidoscopic pattern in her both eyes. Six eyes with strange and obscure patterns around them float beside Ayaka, emitting a blue aura.
"What is this Dojutsu?"
Ayaka's strange ocular power surprises Fugaku and other members of the Uchiha clan.
"That doesn't seem to be like a Sharingan, Mangekyo Sharingan, or even the Rinnegan!" Itachi mutters.
The group glances at Akira and Aiko, Ayaka's parent, who are present beside her.
"Do you two have any knowledge about this, Dojutsu?" They ask.
"We don't!" The couple shakes their head.
"We have never seen her use this power before." They mutter.
"Those eyes!" Minato and Kushina recognize the six strange floating eyes behind Ayaka.
"Minato, Kushina! Do you two have any idea?" Tsunade notices their expression.
"We don't know about her Dojutsu. But we have some idea about those six strange eyes." Minato points towards the Sin eye floating beside Ayaka like a halo.
"This is some sort of otherworldly artifact that Izuna found in the ruins of an ancient ley-line. He told us that this artifact possesses enough power to destroy the world and only he can use its power." They relay superficial information about it to others.
As for a detailed explanation, they don't dare to reveal it without Izuna's approval.
"Looks like Ayaka can also wield this artifact. And currently, she is using its power to protect us from harm." The group glances at the blue barrier surrounding them.
"I wonder what happened in the outside world!" someone speculates.
"Don't be rash! Let's wait for news from the frontline. Sasuke, Naruto, and Izuna are still fighting against Madara." Tsunade shakes her head and warns others.

On the battlefield,
Just now, he released an aura of his divinity to scare the little prince in front of him. He did this to mainly toy with the latter and see the reaction of Ōnikunishi.
"Looks like your father doesn't care about you!" He mumbles.
"OH!" Suddenly, an expression of interest appears on Shutendōji's face.
He glances in the direction of Redaku and notices the blue barrier resisting his barrier.
"Interesting! Very interesting! What a strong power of karma! I didn't expect that thing to be here."
A smile appears on Shutendōji's face.
"Looks like this small world holds many secrets and treasures."
"Oh, no!" Seiryū's expression turns ugly as he recalls something.
"I won't let you harm her!" The hesitation in his eyes vanishes, and he takes out a Gohei (a flail-type wand) and throws it towards Shutendōji.
Shutendōji ignores the Gohei since he doesn't sense any threatening aura about it. He motions a grabbing gesture towards the Redaku island.
On the Redaku island,
Suddenly, a massive purple hand of chakra bloats the sky. The palm of the massive chakra hand engulfs the entire island.
"What? What's this?"
The eyes of residents widen in shock.
"Is the world going to end?" Several normal residents of Donut Island fall on their knees and pray to the Goddess to protect them.
"What's happening?"
The sudden change surprises even Shinobis and the members of the Uzu clan. The terrifying aura of the massive hand send shivers down their spine and most shinobis buckle up under the pressure.
Tsunade, Minato, Kushina, Mei, and other Kages and commanders are no better. Only the area around Ayaka is slightly safe from the pressure.
Shisui, who was also in awful shape, slowly raised his head to glance at the terrifying hand.
"This… this looks like a Susanoo!" He mutters under his breath.
Itachi, Fugaku, and the members of the Hyuga clan who hear his words also raise their heads with difficulty.
"It… it's really a Susanoo!" Fugaku gulps his saliva.
"But… but how's that possible!" He murmurs in intense disbelief.
A massive chakra Avatar with a similar appearance to that of a Susanoo covers the entire planet. Its size is almost a hundred thousand times that of a normal Susanoo.
The divine technique, Susanoo, has an entirely different power in the hands of the Shutendōji, the progenitor of the Otsutsuki clan.
Rumble… Rumble…
The entire shinobi world trembles from the pressure emitted by the massive humanoid chakra construct.
