Two spheres of light, one gold and one blue, collided violently. Then, the two stood suspended in midair. Jin's Kusanagi Sword struck the right claw of Matatabi, which Yugito had transformed into. Their chakra erupted fiercely. Jin's chakra burst forth with countless rays of colored light, enveloping himself and an area fifty meters behind him.
