Rock closed his eyes, and invisible ripples spread through the starry sky.
Fugaku could clearly see wave after wave, like ultrasonic pulses, racing across the starry sky. In an instant, they reached him.
The ripples stalled at the surface of the Black Mist and flowed around it, leaving a noticeable gap.
They found me, Fugaku thought. Since awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan, this was the first time anyone had detected him so clearly.
Rock opened his eyes and shouted, "Hilde, fire the Death Ray!"
As soon as Rock spoke, the transparent ripples in the starry sky took on a red hue.

A red beam erupted from the barrel, its intense heat warping space.
Hilde grinned as she worked the controls. "You damned little Byakugan users can all die!"
