Ebizo's face changed drastically. He hurriedly summoned his puppet, hoping to help Rasa block Uchiha Yin's attack.
But he was too late!
Lightning at its most extreme.
Arcs of lightning rippled outward like waves on water.
The leaping arcs gathered, then gathered again.
Uchiha Yin pressed his fingers together and pointed straight ahead, ignoring Rasa's Gold Dust.
Crackle! Crackle! The sound burst out violently.
The roar of colliding lightning rang out in rapid succession, as though it were boiling.
Uchiha Yin's fingers turned a solid purple, and a brilliant bolt of purple lightning exploded forth.
Move! Move!
Rasa screamed inwardly.
Uchiha Yin's movement looked leisurely, almost like slow motion, but it was incredibly fast. Too fast for Rasa to dodge completely. Too fast for anyone else to do anything but watch the lightning shoot out.
The lightning pierced Rasa's Gold Dust, then suddenly went out like a flame doused with water.
Huh?
What happened?
Uchiha Yin frowned.
"Aaaah!"
Though the lightning vanished, it had already pierced one of Rasa's arms. He had failed to dodge Laser Firmament completely.
Rasa let out an agonized scream.
By then, Ebizo and Sunagakure's elite ninja had surrounded Uchiha Yin.
With a light leap, Uchiha Yin cleared their encirclement.
"Damn it. Damn it."
Having narrowly escaped death, Rasa glared at Uchiha Yin, who stood safely some distance away. Deep fear lurked in his eyes.
For an instant, Rasa had been certain he was about to die.
If the precaution he had prepared had not activated at the last moment, he probably would have.
He remembered what had happened after Thunder God Firmament pierced Bunpuku in Complete Tailed Beast Transformation: Bunpuku's body had split apart.
But when Rasa thought of the contingency he had already put in place, relief spread across his face.
"Uchiha Yin, you—"
