Yet the Mirror of Life shot away as though it had sprouted wings.
Even with his barrier up and pursuing at full speed, Naraku reached Lake Yamanaka, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, dozens of breaths after that streak of light.
Thus, he could only watch helplessly from far away as the Dragon Head Pearl sank deep into the lake.
As the dragon pearl dropped to the lakebed, the Pentagram Seal Array on the Mirror of Life rapidly unraveled. Immediately afterward, countless glowing pink petals flew out of the mirror. They finally gathered before it into a beautiful woman clad in a purple palace dress.

Naraku snorted at her words.

Then, from left and right, he unleashed two powerful streams of sword energy, gold and blue, distinctly separate.
