After a deafening explosion, everyone looked over anxiously. Once the thick smoke cleared, Thanatos was nowhere to be seen, and they could no longer sense his presence. Jiraiya asked in confusion, "Did we get him? Hinata, what exactly happened?" He turned to Hinata beside him, who had kept her White Eye active the whole time.
