Unsurprisingly, Hagoromo didn't struggle too much when the vines began to wrap around him. As Izanami expected, even though he found something was wrong with these vines, he didn't dodge as he was confident of his Susanoo's defense ability.
As the first user of Susanoo, Hagoromo could be said to be the person who has the greatest understanding of Susanoo. Like Indra, he had awakened his Eternal Mangekyou in one fell swoop. And in addition, he had total confidence in his Rinnegan.
But it didn't take long for Hagoromo's confident face to turn into a frown and then to a look of fear.
Izanami's technique absorbs the life force of its target, and for Hagoromo, who is a soul state, this is like Superman coming across a Kryptonite mine.
As a soul, Hagoromo barely has any life force to spare. After all, he is already dead, and without his physical body to generate more life force, such techniques are very deadly to him.
Without hesitation, Hagoromo activated one of his Rinnegan techniques. The vines that were holding his Susanoo in place began to go back to the ground as if time were rewinding.
Soon, the roots disappeared into the ground without leaving any traces of their existence.
Izanami watched this and frowned, ' Time Revival, well, as expected, this guy sure has some amazing eye techniques, ' she thought with some annoyance.
Well, she had every right to be annoyed. While she has to bargain and threaten the world's will just to use her Justus, which affects time, but this guy skips all these processes and directly manipulates the time around him.
'Sigh, those guys on those online forums were right. The Uchiha clan is such a cheat. Kishimoto really made these guys too overpowered and filled with endless potential, ' Izanami thought as she began to make more hand seals.
Although she could deploy the jutsu with just a thought, she still liked doing this. After all, it is only when you use hand seals that you become cool. And in this world, the coolest guy always takes the win.
As for why Sasuke, who was considered the coolest in the series, always gets his ass handed to him. Well, honestly speaking, you can only blame his stupidity and Naruto's amazing destiny.
After all, in the Boruto series, most of the time, Sasuke looked like he had a kidney deficiency. This guy who should have enough chakra to rival Madara looked like the second Kakashi with his stupid ass Rinnegan that is always under a blindfold.
I mean, at this point, is he trying to become Kakashi? Oh, is it that Kakashi somehow managed to pass on his legacy of being the most useless to Sasuke?
Just as Izanami was wondering about this very important philosophical question, her danger instincts began to sound alarm bells in her mind.
Looking around, she saw that Hagoromo had already gotten his grip together and was swinging his massive Susanoo blade at her.
Izanami didn't waste any time. She dismissed her Susanoo in an instant and teleported away.
The next moment, the place where she had stayed a second earlier was shattered into a million pieces. Dust flew everywhere, obstructing Hagoromo's vision for a moment. And it was at this moment that Izanami made her next move.
" Nature Breathing Sun Form Third Step: The brilliance of a thousand suns. " Izanami's voice rang through the battlefield as the atmosphere suddenly began to burn.
Hagoromo barely had enough time before a long odachi that was bathed in white flames sliced through his Susanoo. Under Hagoromo's disbelieving eyes, Susanoo, which was the symbol of absolute defense, couldn't even last one second against Izanami's attack.
And this is just the beginning of Izanami's attack.
"Nature-breathing wind form fifth step: Wrath of Susanoo. " The white flames dancing on the blade were suddenly extinguished as a dark hurricane was released from the blade instantly.
This hurricane made the flames that were on Susanoo burn even more widely. What's more, the hurricane seemed to be competing with the white flames as, under its terrifying might, the already half-broken Susanoo began to crumble away instantly.
No matter how much Hagoromo tried to repair his Susanoo, the wind and flames' destruction ability was far stronger than Susanoo's regeneration ability. Left with no other choice, Hagoromo had to use his truth-seeking orbs to create a shield to protect himself.
But despite using more than 3 truth-seeking orbs to protect himself, Hagoromo still sustained some damage due to Izanami's attacks.
But if one were to observe closely, they could see that the injuries were slowly disappearing as if they never existed.
' So that's it, ' finally getting the answer to her question, Izanami stopped her attacks. If the skill used by her cheap father is really what she knew, then normal attacks such as this would have no effect on him.
It seems she needs to bring out the big guns for this play.

Hagoromo frowned as he watched Izanami sheathing her blade. For some reason, seeing her retracting her blade didn't make him relieved. Instead, a strange sense of danger began to come out of her body, making Hagoromo extremely wary.
"Omniscience and time manipulation are some handy skills you got there. " Izanami said as the dangerous feeling Hagoromo got even stronger.
Although Hagoromo didn't show much reaction, inwardly, he was very shocked. Why? Because Izanami's deduction was very accurate.
Just like the Mangekyou Sharingan, when one awakens their Rinnegan, they would get two unique skills. Madara awakened his limbo ability and the ability to control gravity and matter to almost perfection. And Hagoromo's unique skills were just as Izanami said.
With the ability to manipulate time, he could accelerate his movements, slow down his opponents, and heal his wounds.
As for omniscience, this allowed him to glimpse the truth for a short time. It was with this ability that he managed to learn all of the other skills and become strong enough to contend against Kaguya, who had the complete Ten Tails.
But don't misunderstand; all he gets is the knowledge, but how to put it into practice is up to him. But despite this weakness, Hagoromo managed to rise to become the strongest in this world. There was no one who could compete with him.
At least that's what he thought until recently. But lately, everything was beginning to slip out of his grasp.
Unlike the future he foresaw, he had spent too much effort to take over a part of the Pure Land. And this made him unable to collect as many souls for his army as he had originally expected.
And what's more, lately his omniscience seemed to be unable to see through the future. The further he tried to see, he would always be met with a white mist that obstructed everything.
" Seeing that you are not reacting much, I take it that I'm right with my analysis. Well, now that we have gotten that covered, let's dance, shall we? " Izanami said as she released her chakra pressure.
Now she was taking this fight seriously. And this meant no holding back.
Taking a knife-drawing stance, Izanami exhaled a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Hagoromo widened his eyes in shock. Without any hesitation, he attacked Izanami with more than 4 Truth Seeking balls instantly. Just now, the danger he felt from Izanami began to shoot through the roof. So trusting his instincts, he attacked immediately.
But unfortunately, like all those villains in the novels, Hagoromo also made the same mistake of being too late.
