At the Valley of the End, Jin faced Kurama as the Nine-Tails unleashed a series of powerful attacks. Jin evaded or absorbed them, and the chapter ended as Kurama hesitated with its claw a meter from Jin.

• Kurama charged Jin with a claw attack, and Jin activated Three Feet Before Me: Repulsion Force.
• Kurama reached within a meter of Jin, then hesitated because Jin still had not reacted.
