The entrance to Kumogakure.
Sephiroth's renewed assault had mobilized the entire village.
He coldly swept his gaze over everyone before him.
Sephiroth swung his katana and was about to charge out.
However.
His speed was fast, but Yugito was faster.
"Yaah~!!"
Because she had been knocked unconscious by Kars earlier, causing the Space-Time Chakra Cannon to be destroyed.
Yugito's heart was filled with shame, anger, grief, and sorrow.

A wave of excruciating pain suddenly spread through his entire body.
Everything before his
