• The Starry Sky Giant Snake fired repeated energy blasts at Hinata, who blocked one and split another with a Crescent-Shaped Attack that encased the snake in black-red crystal.
• The crystal shattered, and Hinata sensed that the snake had absorbed some of her divine power while rapidly regenerating from her attack.
