Soji likewise had no idea that Aoi Rokushō's final Lightning Release ninjutsu would actually attract the genius Lightning Release girl, Ringo Ameyuri.
After using that Lightning Release ninjutsu, Aoi Rokushō had completely collapsed to the ground. He did not even have the strength to move a finger.
