Yōshiki was already dead.
But his corpse continued to erupt outward in a Supernova explosion.
Just as Kubai had expected, Kūmu was not dead at all.
He had entered the Space Layer at the very first moment.
In other words, Kūmu was also quite knowledgeable about the Shadow Rules.
However, he had avoided the first wave of erupting energy.
Yet the surging energy still blasted him away.
Before he was sent flying, he clearly saw that all of Natsuki's clones had been swallowed by the Supernova explosion.
At the final moment, Yashiro had successfully possessed one of Natsuki's clones.
But after a clear look of shock appeared on Yashiro's face, he too was swallowed by the Supernova explosion.
Kūmu did not know why Yashiro had insisted on possessing Natsuki's clone at the very end.
Even if he obtained Natsuki's memories, he would still be dead.
Or...
Was Yashiro not dead either?
Aboard the starship.
The distance covered by Space Jump was ultimately faster than the shockwave's speed of propagation.
With Natsuki's advance warning, Madara led the starship through dozens of jumps before finally reaching a safe location.
Only then did he return inside the starship.
After Madara returned, he hurriedly called out to Orochimaru. "Orochimaru, quickly, bring out Natsuki's blood."
Everyone in the main control room heard Madara's words.
"Madara, what happened? Did something happen to Natsuki?" Minato hurriedly asked.
The others also gathered around. After receiving the news, Madara had immediately gone out to arrange the Space Jumps, so no one knew what had happened.
Although the Supernova explosion over there had shone with extraordinary brilliance.
Any place from which it could be observed was dangerous, so Madara had taken everyone away in advance through Space Jumps.
The others had no idea how the battle had gone.
