Crack!
A faint snap suddenly came from Jigen's chest.
Jigen frowned, and the power surging from him abruptly faltered.

"Damn it!"
Madara had been ready to unleash everything he had, give Jigen a proper beating, and recover the pride he had just lost. Instead, his enemy had turned tail and fled, denying him any
