Bang!
As the Time Clock exploded, the flow of time around them returned to normal the next second.
The final head of Otsutsuki Yamei before Kanami also exploded instantly.
It dissipated into the void.
"He's really dead this time, right?"

"Wonderful. This crisis is finally over."
Hinata Hyuga replied excitedly.

"Ahem." The Sage of Six Paths coughed lightly. "That was because I felt that if I returned, these two youngsters would be in danger, so I chose not to go back. Now that everything has been resolved, of course
