At the last instant, a flash of moonlight. A woman emerged from the outer mist: Mahina Yoshida, a mysterious 28-year-old traveler, level ~1,000,000, with cascading blonde hair like golden moonlight, serene green eyes like calm forests, and a long silver sword called Eternal Guardian. She wore a white robe with lunar symbols, and her technique was "Vigil"—considered the "worst" because it was defensive and slow (it creates eternal barriers that absorb and redirect attacks, consuming the user's vital energy if prolonged, and not aggressive like the cursed ones that suck the enemy's life). But Mahina was the best at it: she transformed defense into offense, "guarding" the enemy in loops of barriers until they were exhausted or imploded.
With a single strike, she activated the technique: the sword spun slowly, creating a barrier that redirected Sasuke's own shadow against him. The blade struck the hunter's neck, silently decapitating him. Sasuke fell, his body dissolving into darkness. "You will no longer touch innocents," she murmured in a soft voice.
Abraão, gasping, saw everything blurred. Trauma overwhelmed him: the bodies of his grandmother and brother on the floor, blood on the walls, the smell of death. He didn't know how to react—anger, pain, emptiness. "They... dead... why?" He murmured, before fainting.
