Yep tanking and containing it. Much more logical than kicking it lol.So you're telling me with all that knowledge of every chakra nature and all things 9+ bijuu chakra residing in him plus rikudou's healing and kurama's guidance and his two headed avatar and Sage Art: Tailed beast Rasenshuriken his ONLY resolve was tanking it?
BTW, why do you think Sasuke just stood there and didn't use preta path?
