As they advanced, a CP0 sniper hidden on the second floor of a ruined building took aim at the back of Kūga's head.
Yelan's Sharingan caught that flicker of killing intent an instant before the bullet left the barrel. She did not shout, but abruptly shifted half a step to the side and hurled the kunai in her left hand through a gap in the smoke, driving it squarely into the sniper's forehead.
