Kakashi's fingers, coated in Purple Electricity, sliced through A's prized lightning cloak as though cutting tofu!
A pulled back and stared blankly at the gash across his chest!
What terrifying lightning chakra nature transformation... Luckily, Kakashi misjudged the distance with his eyes closed. After cutting through my lightning cloak, he only grazed my skin. Otherwise, my heart would have been done for!
