Shimura Yuko retreated again and again, but how could he possibly outpace Uchiha Sora in Sage Mode?
Besides, Uchiha Sora was still charging. With Lightning Blade in his hands, his speed had reached its peak, making his movements almost impossible to follow!
Shimura Yuko's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly covered himself in a thick suit of rock armor.
Squelch!
But blood sprayed into the air as both of Uchiha Sora's hands plunged into Shimura Yuko's chest!
The thick rock armor did nothing to stop his Lightning Blades!
"Cough..." Shimura Yuko coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood, his aged, pallid face filled with bitter resentment.
"You bastard..." He looked down at his pierced chest, knowing he was doomed.
Madness gradually spread across his face. With a final burst of strength, Shimura Yuko raised his hands and clamped them around Uchiha Sora's arms, roaring at the others, "I've got him! Attack now!"
The others' expressions shifted repeatedly at the sight.
"Clan Leader Shimura!" The elite clansmen Shimura Yuko had brought let out hoarse cries and unleashed their ninjutsu at Uchiha Sora.
Sasuke Sarutobi and the others exchanged glances, but instead of attacking, they continued retreating swiftly toward the edge of the barrier.
Just then, a doorway opened in the barrier. The three clan leaders-Sasuke Sarutobi, Hyuga Ten, and Yamanaka Taichi-and the elites they had brought hurried through it.
Once they had all passed through, the doorway closed again.
"Go!" Sasuke Sarutobi and the others glanced back into the barrier, then sped away without the slightest hesitation.
"Good thing the people controlling the barrier belonged to the Sarutobi Clan. If they'd been from the Shimura Clan, none of us would have gotten out so easily!" Yamanaka Taichi remarked.
"Yes. It's a shame about those four Sarutobi elites, though," Hyuga Ten agreed
