The temperature across the battlefield rose as Uchiha Yin unleashed Fire Release.
Boom! A tremendous roar rang out.
The terrifying flames caught Anrokuzan. His enormous body broke apart and collapsed, turning into a heap of scrap in an instant.
"Is it over?"
Seeing Anrokuzan fall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But before they could fully relax, the heap of puppet wreckage assembled itself again.
It even became a larger puppet than before.
"Hahahaha! Uchiha Yin, so what if you're stronger than me? As long as the Ryūmyaku exists, I can't die. I can come back again and again!"
Anrokuzan's voice rang out once more.
As long as the Ryūmyaku's power remained, Anrokuzan could use it to revive.
Now that he knew this for certain, Anrokuzan burst out laughing.
He had thought he was finished. Though he could not match his opponent's powerful Ninjutsu, he would not die from it.
If he kept this up until his opponent was exhausted, Anrokuzan would win.
At the thought, Anrokuzan laughed without restraint.
"Well? There's nothing you can do, is there?"
"I can shut down the Ryūmyaku," Sara said.
"No, there's no need to go to that trouble. I didn't kill him just now because I didn't destroy him thoroughly enough."
Uchiha Yin closed his eyes, then opened them.
Everyone saw a pair of eyes they could barely describe.
Amaterasu!
Black flames suddenly appeared on Anrokuzan's body.
Their scorching heat and eerie color sent a chill through him.
It's just my imagination. It has to be. With the Ryūmyaku, I'm the strongest. I'm invincible.
Anrokuzan tried to reassure himself. To steady his nerves, he even shouted it aloud.
"Uchiha Yin, nothing you do will work! Even if your flames burn me to ash, I can restore myself with the Ryūmyaku's power—just like this!"
