"No, there's no way to dodge this."
No matter how much he increased his speed, even pushing his body beyond its limits, the danger behind him did not lessen in the slightest. Instead, as the Tailed Beast Ball gathered, the danger only grew greater!
That meant Uchiha Yū was still within the Tailed Beast Ball's attack range.
At the final moment, the heavy Tailed Beast Ball had fully formed in the Eight-Tails' mouth. It immediately blasted toward the direction Uchiha Yū was fleeing.
This was also the moment of greatest danger.
"I'm going for it!"
At the limit, he could only use one of his last-resort defensive ninjutsu!
"First Rashomon!"
An enormous gate rose from the ground. This was the strongest defensive ninjutsu a single person could currently use, but Uchiha Yū had never expected First Rashomon to block the Tailed Beast Ball.
He had done this to make the Tailed Beast Ball change direction.
The Rashomon rose from the ground without colliding head-on with the Tailed Beast Ball. Instead, it made intimate contact with it at an oblique angle.
Uchiha Yū seized the chance to flee in the opposite direction, using this method to evade the attack.
All of this happened in barely two seconds!

The Tailed Beast Ball struck the ground. Unlike the explosion caused by Atomic Fission, there was no blinding flash, but the two were evenly matched in terms of destructive power.
The area struck by the Tailed Beast Ball had completely vanished. Uchiha Yū had evaded the fatal blow, yet twisted smoke was rising from his body.
He had pushed himself beyond his limits. Uchiha Yū felt as though every inch of skin on his body was on fire. Under such intense exertion, he had to unleash every last bit of his physical ability,
