The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had lost the ability to resist, and Naruto had exhausted all his chakra in that same instant.
"Whew..."
The Tailed Beast Cloak around him grew thin, but Naruto did not dispel the Thousand-Armed Buddha beneath him.
He turned his gaze toward Deva Path and Konan in the air, only to find that both had already disappeared into the distance.
