The scene of Samehada being subdued was naturally seen in its entirety by Nara Dan, hidden in the void.
Nara Dan wasn't surprised that Samehada had been subdued so easily in such a short time.
After all, by the standards of the Ninja World, every Admiral was at least at the level of a God of Shinobi with a rating of 0.8 or higher.
Even Hashirama Senju would have to fight an Admiral before anyone could say who would win.
Although Samehada had evolved many times and was now among the strongest of the Tailed Beasts, it still fell short of the level of a God of Shinobi.
Against an Admiral, Samehada could have relied on its vast reserves of Chakra and Water Release to trade blows for dozens of exchanges.

Gion was blasted out of an explosion. She tumbled through the air several times before steadying herself.
Her once-neat pink vest was now riddled with holes. Her fair skin showed through, streaked with thin trails of blood.
Her Marine coat
