The dense clouds high above had been gathering for some time, but Jigen hadn't paid them any attention.
It was like someone sitting indoors not worrying whether it was sunny or rainy outside. Besides, under normal circumstances, Jigen could shatter the entire bank of clouds with a single strike.
But this time was different.
Brilliant arcs of electricity raced and coalesced between the clouds, suddenly forming a gigantic white lightning qilin.
The next second, guided by Sasuke's Chakra,
the enormous white lightning qilin plunged down. The air ionized and shattered in its wake as the roar of a thunderstorm erupted. A massive blue-white pillar of light swallowed everything, like divine punishment descending from the heavens.
The qilin struck Jigen directly.
The lightning-fast attack was so swift that even Jigen had no time to dodge.
He didn't even have time to activate his Dojutsu!
The lightning itself was formed from natural forces. Sasuke's Fire Style had only accelerated the buildup of electrical energy in the clouds, while the final Chakra guidance merely pinpointed the target.
In short,
the enormous pillar of lightning wasn't made of Chakra, so Jigen's Karma couldn't absorb it.
"**~~~!"
Jigen's anguished scream rang out from within the blinding pillar of light, but the roaring thunder drowned it out.
Seeing this, Kawaki stared in stunned disbelief, as if he were dreaming.
Compared to Jigen, this friend of the Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke, seemed more like a god.
The terrifying lightning raged for several seconds, almost draining the clouds above of their energy in a single strike. Sasuke had clearly given it everything he had, attacking with the sole aim of killing Jigen!
When the lightning finally faded,
thick wisps of white smoke and swirling clouds of ionized gas still drifted through the area that had been struck.
As for
