In the Light Screen footage, the emotions of surviving the disaster filled the ninjas with joy, and many of them even shed tears of gratitude at that moment.
For Mash, who had blocked the attack with all her strength, it was equally moving and exhilarating.
The girl turned to look at Fujimaru Tachibana behind her. "Senpai, I did it!"
This Fujimaru Tachibana, just like the one in the real world, smiled and nodded. "Yes, Mash, you did it. Just as I said from the beginning, you could definitely do this!"
Mash gave an affirmative hum, then turned back around and looked resolutely at the distant One-Tailed Shukaku.
This time, Mash was no longer afraid. Successfully blocking Shukaku's terrifying attack had greatly bolstered the girl's confidence.
Even if the miracle just now had been brought about with Fujimaru Tachibana's encouragement, a miracle created with her own hands was still the most inspiring kind.
Though it had not been stated outright, Mash had already understood her mission, as well as the direction in which she needed to strive.
Perhaps it would take a very long time, but Mash possessed such conviction. She firmly believed that she would be able to do it.
Because...
This was what Senpai expected of her!
For Senpai's sake, no matter what, she would give it everything she had—and she would definitely succeed!
The girl's conviction was incomparably firm.
Though the atmosphere was a little too yuri.
Countless yuri fans howled excitedly at that moment, as if possessed by monkeys.
Then, at that very moment, Shukaku was somewhat stunned. It clearly had not expected the ninjas to survive, and the power Mash had unleashed earlier was unfamiliar and bewildering to it. It could not understand how those tiny humans had managed such a thing.
However, that did not
