"Look, Lady Konan is up there."
Someone pointed into the sky and cried out excitedly.
Konan was flying down toward the ground, the great white wings on her back fluttering like an angel's.
Clearly, at the last moment, she had flapped her wings and soared high into the sky, escaping the blast.
Even Konan was shaken by the sheer force of the explosion.
Good thing I flew up in time. Otherwise, I might have been in serious trouble.
It would not have killed her, but she would have been left in a sorry state and might even have suffered serious injuries.
Explosive Tags were not to be underestimated. A single tag was not especially powerful, but enough of them together were terrifying.
After all, Konan's six hundred billion Explosive Tags in the original story had nearly killed Obito.
Even Hanzō, the Demigod of the Ninja World, had a Ninjutsu built around Explosive Tags: the Explosive Flame Formation. It could even break through Jiraiya's defensive Ninjutsu, Needle Jizo.
"The winner of the fourth round is Konan."
Yuhi Shinku stepped forward, coughed twice to draw everyone's attention back, then made the announcement.
He then moved aside and waited for the Earth Release Ninja to repair the arena.
As for Munashi Jinpachi's death... only the spectators from Kirigakure were inclined to complain about it.
Kirigakure had always revered the strong. In truth, few people were saddened by Munashi Jinpachi's death.
Even the Third Mizukage said nothing. He merely ordered his subordinates to retrieve Munashi Jinpachi's Ninja Blade.
The Exploding Blade Shibuki was one of Kirigakure's Ninja Blades. Naturally, the Third Mizukage would not let it fall into anyone else's hands.
"Brother Yin, how did I do?" Konan flew to Uchiha Yin's side. Her icy demeanor vanished, and she spoke with a bright smile.
