Just as Kakashi had predicted, once Darui and Hyuga Kagami began using chakra to draw down the lightning within the clouds, their Storm Release became impossible to stop.
During this process, Darui, who had long since mastered the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, naturally held every advantage!
His Black Dragon churned wildly through the clouds, gulping down the lightning within them as its body rapidly swelled. Before long, even the layered clouds could barely conceal it.
In comparison, Hyuga Kagami's Purple Kirin was clearly inferior to Darui's Black Dragon, both in size and activity.
This was partly because Hyuga Kagami had only just begun learning Storm Release and was still unfamiliar with controlling it.
More importantly, he had lost the initiative. Darui had unleashed Storm Ghost Dragon first, instantly seizing more than half the lightning in the clouds, so Hyuga Kagami's Purple Kirin was naturally at a disadvantage in their contest.
Darui was not pleased by his Storm Ghost Dragon's dominance within the clouds. On the contrary, he was profoundly shocked when he saw that Hyuga Kagami could use Storm Release as well.
Storm Release was not only exceedingly rare, but also a Kekkei Genkai unique to Kumogakure.
