Otherwise, I think that this Ranton cloud could absorb chakra, if Itachi try to tank it with Susanoo, it could end pretty bad for him. If Hiruko manage to use it, though.
Honestly I still give this a 60/40 chance in Hiruko's favour. Was just a shame I had to bring the Hiruko feats and arguments with little backup, no wonder I was being so sassy :')
