Yōya had already grasped every vital point on Matatabi's body.
He watched Matatabi across from him, who looked incredibly violent and agitated.
His heart gradually calmed. This time, I'll defeat you.
Yugito, let me show you the results of my latest training.
Yōya took a deep breath. With a flick of his long blade, a dazzling white light shone from it once more.
The Mangekyō Sharingan in Yōya's eyes spun rapidly.
Godspeed, Lightning Roar Six Flashes!
The Raikage's expression changed outside the arena. "Not good!"
A massive burst of lightning erupted around him, and in that instant, he entered the strongest Lightning Armor mode!
Yōya's figure suddenly vanished. At the same time, Matatabi seemed to have been frozen in amber, her movements becoming exceedingly slow.
Yōya moved at extreme speed.
His first slash targeted Matatabi's left foreleg, the second her flank, the third her lower back, the fourth her shoulder, and the fifth her neck.
The wounds appeared almost instantly, and huge sprays of blood burst from Yugito's body.
Matatabi could only barely twist her neck aside, preventing it from being severed.
But those were only five slashes. Six Flashes naturally had a sixth slash.
The final slash went straight for Matatabi's heart.
Yugito, who had been somewhat frenzied in her Tailed Beast Transformation, instantly regained her clarity.
Yet in that brief instant, Yugito was unable to control her body and evade.
Yōya showed no intention of slowing down. His fierce blade had already pierced Matatabi's body.
At that moment, Yugito's heart was completely calm.
Am I... going to die...
Am I going to die by your hand...
Are you really... going to kill me...
Clang!
The Raikage finally arrived at the moment of the final slash, his figure flashing past.
Yōya was sent staggering backward by the tremendous force.
