At that moment, just as Uchiha Shunichi had said, Yakumo Kurama's chakra was nearly exhausted. Using Genjutsu to kill people consumed even more chakra than she had imagined.
Just as she was about to collapse, Second Pillar stepped forward. He immediately seized the initiative with the Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique, then began his little game of piercing people with Lightning Release.
For those rogue shinobi, Second Pillar's appearance brought a sigh of relief. Though he was also someone they could not defeat, at least he was human.
"Run!" At last, the rogue shinobi realized they were no match for their enemies and began thinking of escape.
Honestly, if Yakumo Kurama's chakra had not been limited, her previous tactics really could have scared them out of their minds.
"Don't leave!" Yakumo Kurama shouted weakly, her voice filled with unwillingness.
Even so, her exhausted body could not refine enough chakra no matter what she did, much less use Genjutsu to kill anyone.
"Forget it, Yakumo. Let them go. This is an escort mission." Uchiha Shunichi's voice rang out, stopping both the unwilling Yakumo Kurama and the Second Pillar who had been preparing to pursue them.
Upon hearing that, Second Pillar stopped chasing them, though he seemed somewhat displeased.
Yakumo Kurama dispelled the jutsu around her and said dejectedly to Uchiha Shunichi, "Sorry, Brother Shunichi. I couldn't beat them..."
At that moment, Yakumo Kurama felt as though she had returned to the weak, cowardly person she once was, utterly debilitated and incapable of doing anything...
That version of herself terrified her. She would rather die than become that powerless person again...
"You did alright, but your choice was not quite right. Causing fear in your enemies is a good approach, but that kind of combat puts too much pressure on you right
