Then he saw a scene that left him speechless.
A massive golden sword aura suddenly shot out from the center of the tornado. A figure, seemingly carrying someone in his arms, actually charged straight out at high speed. The instant he broke free, the tornado collapsed. The elements that had formed it—fire, water, and stone—shot in every direction, instantly injuring several unprepared Amegakure ninjas.
However, those were only part of the elements that had formed the tornado. More of them were crashing down toward the figure who had emerged from within.
The figure seemed to know this and immediately dodged aside. The blade in his hand flashed, and a sword aura instantly slashed toward the various elements.
Swish!
The shockwave split the elements cleanly in two!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The elements crashed onto the ground, producing deafening tremors. At the same time, the figure let out a sigh of relief.
The tremors were felt not only by the earth, but by every heart hidden within the rain.
"He actually got out?" All of Amegakure felt like crying. Wasn't this supposed to be a sure win?
"My lord... is he... is he the Konoha ninja you mentioned?" Kawasaki swallowed in disbelief. His hand trembled slightly, though no one noticed. Then he looked at Green Sunflower and Autumn Wind Thorn. Although the sword aura Mirai had unleashed upon charging out was exaggerated, he still believed that with Autumn Wind Thorn and Green Sunflower here, Mirai's escape would be useless.
Besides, hadn't Qing Kui said just now that Mirai was far away from him?
Kawasaki's heart, which had only just calmed down, became unsettled again.
However, while Kawasaki was trying to calm himself, the two people he regarded as his bosses were truly unable to remain calm.
"How... how did he get out?!"
