The purple glow held an incomparably violent aura. It spoke of destruction.
At the same time, a figure pressed two fingers against the head of Bunpuku in his Tailed Beast Transformation.
The next instant, a strange sound rang out.
A beam of purple lightning erupted from the figure.
As it shot forward, the beam seemed to turn solid, becoming a razor-sharp purple blade that pierced straight through Bunpuku's transformed body!
Lightning coursed over Bunpuku. Before he could even cry out in pain, he burst apart like a bomb made of lightning.
At that moment, a Tailed Beast—feared across the Shinobi World as a weapon of war—died.
No, that was not quite right. Bunpuku, who had nearly become a Perfect Jinchuriki, had been killed by Uchiha Yin in a single move.
A wild Tailed Beast was powerful.
But it could not compare to a Perfect Jinchuriki.
A Perfect Jinchuriki was far stronger than a wild Tailed Beast.
Yet before Uchiha Yin, Bunpuku had still been helpless.
Of course, the One-Tail Shukaku inside Bunpuku would not truly die. He would be reborn somewhere, someday.
It was just like the Three-Tails in the original story. After Yagura died, no one knew how long it took for him to be reborn and discovered.
The dark clouds overhead broke apart as well.
The sky appeared, and warm sunlight spilled down, bathing everything beneath it.
But to the people of Sunagakure, that warm sunlight felt cold.
Only when the sunlight returned and the lightning faded did they see him clearly.
That figure was Uchiha Yin!
Uchiha Yin?!
How was that possible?
"The sky—the heavens themselves—were torn apart?!"
"Th-the One-Tail Shukaku, a Tailed Beast feared as a weapon of war... he went down just like that?"
"Uchiha Yin? Uchiha Yin is on the battlefield?!"
The sudden turn
