Han reacted incredibly quickly, and the speed at which his snow-white tail extended was downright terrifying.
Uzumaki Kuming's long sword came down. With a soft swish, the snow-white tail was severed midway through. Even Han, who had successfully used the momentum to dodge, was struck.
The armor over his chest and abdomen was cleaved open by Kuming's slash, exposing his yellow skin. Since Han was drawing on the Five-Tails Kokuō's Chakra, a black Cursed Seal was also visible on his lower abdomen.
"What incredible speed!"
"And that slash—I clearly dodged it! How did it still—"
Han quickly put some distance between himself and Kuming. Lowering his head, he glanced at the cut in his breastplate, bewildered. He didn't understand. He had clearly dodged Kuming's slash, yet his armor had still been cut open.
If he hadn't reacted so quickly and dodged in time—and if his tail hadn't delayed Kuming's attack for a moment—Kuming's sword might have struck him directly, leaving him gravely wounded.
"Sage Art: Lightning Prison!"
Kuming stared at Han and murmured. The next moment, countless bolts of lightning surged up beneath Han's feet, closing in around him. A terrifying net of Chakra and lightning appeared out of nowhere, making Han's expression tighten.
"Steam Dash!"
Han roared. White steam suddenly erupted around him. He lightly tapped the ground with his foot and swiftly escaped the area the lightning net was covering. He moved so fast that he outran the net's spread.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Han escape, Kuming didn't dispel his technique. Though the lightning net had failed to ensnare Han, it swept toward the other Stone Ninja. Several who couldn't dodge in time were electrocuted into charred corpses. Some Stone Ninja tried to block it with Earth Style, but the walls they raised crumbled the instant Kuming's lightning net hit
