The Genprey King sensed a deadly threat and let out a furious roar, opening its blood-filled maw as it lunged forward.
However.
Nagato was faster.
The instant they closed in on each other, he swiftly raised his right hand.
Violent Chakra gathered and spun in his palm, unleashing a howl like a raging gale.
